[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0034] Currently, aircraft air conditioning ducts are insulated flexible hoses with steel wires. At least two people are needed to carry them to the location of use. Since the hoses cannot be easily stored and secured, the handlers need to hold and drag them, which is extremely inconvenient and physically demanding. Moreover, dragging the hoses can cause some damage to them, reducing their lifespan.
[0035] After the insulated hose is transported to the location of use, the quick-connect fittings at both ends of the hose are connected to the ship's deck supply port and the aircraft interface, respectively. When connecting the quick-connect fittings to the ship's deck supply port, the cover plate at the ship's deck supply port needs to be opened first, and then the hose is inserted into the ship's deck supply port. Because there is a gap between the hose and the ship's deck supply port, rain, snow and cold air will rush into the compartment through the gap, causing the compartment temperature to change rapidly.
[0036] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an aircraft air conditioning protection duct that can solve the above problems, and will be described in detail below.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The aircraft's air conditioning duct includes a flexible hose 1 and a cover 2. The cover 2 has a through hole 20 and a through groove 21, which are spaced apart. One end of the flexible hose 1 extends out of the through hole 20, and the outer wall of the flexible hose 1 is connected to the wall of the through hole 20, so that the flexible hose 1 can connect to the interface inside the ship's supply port. When the cover plate 4 of the ship's supply port is opened, it can cover the ship's supply port through the through groove 21 of the cover 2, thus blocking the ship's supply port. One end of the flexible hose 1 passes through the through hole 20 of the cover 2 and can directly connect to the interface inside the ship's supply port, so that there is no gap between the flexible hose 1 and the cover 2. The cover 2 prevents rain, snow and cold air from entering the cabin, ensuring that the temperature inside the cabin does not change rapidly. In addition, the cover 2 can also cover the flexible hose 1, making the flexible hose 1 more regular and easier to handle during transportation.
[0038] To ensure that the cover plate 4 of the deck supply port leaves no tiny gaps when opened, an elastic band can be fixed around the edge of the through groove 21. When the cover plate 4 passes through the through groove 21, the elastic band can tighten onto the cover plate 4, thereby sealing any tiny gaps that may exist between the cover plate 4 and the through groove 21. In this embodiment, the elastic band can be made of any stretchable material, such as a rubber sheet.
[0039] The hose 1 passes through the through hole 20 of the cover 2 and is connected to the cover 2. The connection method can be sewing; or a zipper can be provided on the cover 2 and the hose 1, and the connection can be made by pulling the zipper; or the hose 1 and the cover 2 can also be connected by adhesive. The connection method between the hose 1 and the cover 2 is not limited here.
[0040] It is understood that the two ends of the hose 1 are respectively connected to the aircraft end connector 10 and the ship deck end connector 11. The two ends of the hose 1 are respectively fitted onto the aircraft end connector 10 and the ship deck end connector 11, and the hose 1 is fixed to the aircraft end connector 10 and the ship deck end connector 11 by a ring clamp, thus connecting the aircraft end connector 10 and the ship deck end connector 11 to the hose 1. The connection between the hose 1 and the aircraft end connector 10 and the ship deck end connector 11 can also be achieved by sewing or other methods; the use of a ring clamp for fixing here is merely an illustrative example. Since the cover 2 needs to cover the ship deck supply port, the ship deck end connector 11 is located near the end of the cover 2 so that the ship deck end connector 11 can connect to the interface inside the ship deck supply port. Here, the aircraft end connector 10 is adapted to the interface on the aircraft, and the ship deck end connector 11 is adapted to the interface inside the ship deck supply port.
[0041] In this embodiment, the flexible tube 1 is a boneless flexible tube 1, which expands after being filled with air and deflates when air filling stops. The deflated flexible tube 1 can be neatly folded and then covered by the covering component 2 for easy handling and storage. For specific folding, storage and packaging processes, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
[0042] The covering 2 in this embodiment can be made of either a soft or a hard material. When the covering 2 is made of a soft material, such as canvas, it can be folded freely to adapt to the shape of the folded hose 1. When the covering 2 is made of a hard material, the folded hose 1 has the same volume, which is beneficial for storage and handling. For example, the covering 2 can be composed of multiple hard plastic sheets, which can be connected by hinges to allow adjacent hard plastic sheets to rotate, forming a box shape when folded for storage.
[0043] To further conserve the energy of handling personnel, two support rods 3 are connected to the covering component 2. These two support rods 3 are connected to both sides of the covering component 2 and can be locked together. When the covering component 2 is made of soft material, it can be wrapped around the two support rods 3; when it is made of rigid material, dragging the support rods 3 will cause the covering component 2 to rotate. Regardless of whether the covering component 2 is made of soft or rigid material, after the hose 1 is folded and neatly arranged, the covering component 2 can completely cover the folded hose 1. The two support rods 3 are brought close together and locked together, thus packaging the folded hose 1 as a whole. During handling, the two support rods 3 can be used as sliding seats, allowing the handling personnel to push the hose to slide and move it, saving time and effort.
[0044] The connection between the covering 2 and the support rod 3 can take many forms, such as adhesive connection or sewing connection, which are not limited here.
[0045] To reduce friction between the two support rods 3 and the ground or ship's surface, making pushing easier, both support rods 3 have smooth sliding surfaces. These sliding surfaces are on the same plane after the two support rods 3 are connected and locked, which greatly reduces friction during sliding movement. The sliding surfaces on the support rods 3 are aligned with the direction of gravity of the folded hose 1.
[0046] Of course, rollers can also be installed on the two support rods 3, and the movement of the ductwork is driven by the rolling of the rollers. Specifically, the rollers are mounted on roller brackets, which are fixed to the support rods 3. The structure of the rollers and roller brackets can refer to existing devices on the market, such as strollers, baby carriages, and skateboards, and is considered as existing technology.
[0047] There are also various ways to connect and lock the two support rods 3.
[0048] For example, at least one of the two support rods 3 is equipped with a magnet, and both support rods 3 are iron rods. When the two support rods 3 are close together, the magnet will attract the two support rods 3 together. Alternatively, the two support rods 3 are made of magnetic material. When the two support rods 3 are close together, the two support rods 3 will attract each other together, thereby covering the hose 1.
[0049] For example, one of the two support rods 3 has a mortise hole, and the other support rod 3 has a tenon. The mortise hole and the tenon are positioned correspondingly, and the tenon can be stably inserted into the mortise hole, thus covering the neatly folded flexible tube 1. The specific structure of the mortise hole and the tenon is not limited here; as long as the mortise hole and the tenon are compatible, it is acceptable. The mortise hole and the tenon can be set on opposite sides of the two support rods 3, so that the insertion of the mortise hole and the tenon will not affect the sliding of the support rod 3 on the ground or ship's deck.
[0050] For example, one of the two support rods 3 is equipped with a female locking buckle, and the other support rod 3 is equipped with a male locking buckle. The female and male locking buckles can lock or unlock, thereby achieving the covering and unfolding of the folding hose 1. The female and male locking buckles are compatible and can be common products on the market; no limitation is made here. Of course, the setting position of the female and male locking buckles should not affect the sliding of the two support rods 3 on the ground or ship's deck. Therefore, the female and male locking buckles can be set at the ends of the support rods 3 without interfering with the sliding of the support rods 3 on the ground or ship's deck.
[0051] The connection and locking mechanism of the support rod 3 listed above is merely an example. In other embodiments, various connection methods such as buckles and pins can also be used, which are not limited here.
[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the aircraft air conditioning duct covers the deck supply port using a cover 2, preventing rain, snow, and cold air from entering the cabin. It also covers the neatly folded hose 1, making the hose 1 and the cover 2 a single unit for easy handling and storage. A support rod 3 is connected to the cover 2, allowing the covered hose 1 to be moved, saving time and effort and facilitating transport. The hose 1 in this embodiment does not require handling personnel to hold or drag it, thus avoiding friction damage and extending its service life.
[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
