Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aviation lifesaving equipment, and relates to a limiting device for controlling the size of parachute closing. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the whole machine lifesaving system, the stability of the parachute directly affects the whole machine lifesaving condition, and good stability can make the whole machine land stably. Since the weight of the whole machine lifesaving system of the light aircraft is large, the vibration caused by the interaction between the parachute rope and the air at the parachute opening moment can affect the stability and control performance of the parachute. The closing slide cloth is used to balance the contradiction between the rapid filling at low speed and the load reduction at high speed of the parachute, and is the most core and key technology of the whole machine lifesaving system of the light aircraft. Whether the closing slide cloth can smoothly close the bottom edge of the canopy at the initial stage of parachute opening will determine whether the load reduction of the canopy is successfully completed, and whether the closing slide cloth can smoothly slide according to the program design during the inflation process of the canopy will also relate to whether the canopy can be rapidly filled. The bottom of the conventional parachute canopy is connected with the parachute rope through a radiation reinforcing belt, and a natural joint is formed, which can easily cause the eye ring on the closing slide cloth to be stuck at the joint, so that the closing slide cloth cannot work normally, and the parachute cannot be filled. Due to the existence of the closing slide cloth, the diameter of the bottom edge of the canopy is limited by the closing slide cloth at the low speed stage, so that the canopy cannot be rapidly and fully inflated.

[0003] In summary, the prior art has the technical problem of the unfavorable working condition that the eye ring on the closing slide cloth is stuck at the joint of the radiation reinforcing belt of the bottom of the parachute canopy and the parachute rope and cannot slide down.

[0005] The utility model technical scheme is a limiting device for controlling the size of parachute closing, which comprises a canopy bottom edge, a limiting structure, a parachute rope and a closing slide cloth, the limiting structure is provided with a center hole in the center, one end of the parachute rope passing through the center hole on the limiting structure is connected with the canopy bottom edge, and the other end is connected with the closing slide cloth, so that the limiting structure slides along the parachute rope between the canopy bottom edge and the closing slide cloth.

[0006] In the above scheme, the closing slide cloth is provided with an eye ring, the length of the limiting structure is greater than the diameter of the eye ring, the eye ring is prevented from passing through the limiting structure, and the upward movement of the closing slide cloth is limited.

[0007] In the above scheme, the canopy bottom edge is provided with a radiation reinforcing belt, and the radiation reinforcing belt is sleeved with the parachute rope.

[0008] In the above scheme, the limiting structure is made of rubber material.

[0009] In the above scheme, the umbrella rope and the center hole on the limiting structure are in interference fit, so that the limiting structure can be fixed on the umbrella rope without external force and can be moved with external force.

[0010] In the above scheme, the number of eyelets arranged on the closing slide cloth is consistent with the number of umbrella ropes.

[0011] The device has the advantages and beneficial effects that: the limiting device arranged between the umbrella cloth bottom edge and the closing slide cloth can avoid the adverse working condition that the closing slide cloth moves up to the umbrella cloth bottom edge and is stuck, and improve the working reliability of the closing slide cloth; meanwhile, the device controls the position of the closing slide cloth on the umbrella rope, controls the closing ratio of the parachute under different conditions, and ensures the normal opening of the parachute under the low-altitude and low-speed working condition.

[0019] The utility model will be further described in detail through specific embodiments:

[0020] Figure 1 is the whole diagram of the limiting structure 2 assembled on the parachute rope 3. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the limiting structure 2 in Figure 2 is sleeved into the umbrella rope 3 in Figure 4 , and thenFigure 4 The umbrella rope 3 is sleeved with the bottom edge of the canopy, and the canopy, the limiting structure 2, the umbrella rope 3 and the closing slide cloth 4 are combined.

[0021] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When packing the parachute, the limiting structure 2 can be moved along the umbrella rope 3, for example, the limiting structure 2 can be moved from position one 3a to position two 3b, so as to limit the movement position of the closing slide cloth 4 along the umbrella rope 3 to realize the closing of the parachute.
