Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft safety technology, specifically a safety airbag triggering mechanism for low-altitude aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some drones use parachute devices to prevent them from crashing out of control, which can easily lead to injuries or damage to pedestrians and other facilities, and even cause the drone to break. The parachute device mainly uses a spring-loaded ejection method to launch the parachute. However, during use, because drones are very prone to flipping during a fall, the parachute is usually installed on the top of the drone. If the drone flips, the parachute will bounce downwards, causing it to fail. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safety airbag triggering mechanism for low-altitude aircraft to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

A lead screw is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cylinder, and a rotating nut is threaded onto the lead screw. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating nut, and a rotating lifting plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. A folding parachute is disposed in the airbag compartment between the rotating lifting plate and the protective cover. A first counterweight is fixedly connected to the edge of the folding parachute, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the connecting rope of the folding parachute. The fixing block is fixedly connected to the rotating lifting plate. A spring connects the top of the mounting cylinder and the rotating lifting plate. A release assembly for controlling the release of the rotating lifting plate is disposed inside the mounting cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] See Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the present invention, a safety airbag triggering mechanism for a low-altitude aircraft includes an installation cylinder 1. A release port is provided at the bottom of the installation cylinder 1, and a protective cover 9 is provided inside the release port. A lead screw 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation cylinder 1, and a rotating nut 5 is threaded onto the lead screw 4. A connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating nut 5, and a rotating lifting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6. A folding parachute 11 is provided in the airbag compartment 10 between the rotating lifting plate 7 and the protective cover 9. A first counterweight 14 is fixedly connected to the edge of the folding parachute 11. A fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting rope 13 of the folding parachute 11, and the fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating lifting plate 7. A spring 8 is connected between the top of the installation cylinder 1 and the rotating lifting plate 7. A release assembly for releasing the rotating lifting plate 7 is provided inside the installation cylinder 1. The present invention first installs and fixes the installation cylinder 1 to the aircraft. At the bottom, when the aircraft loses power and flips during flight, the release assembly releases the limit on the rotating lifting plate 7. At this time, the spring 8 pushes the rotating lifting plate 7 towards the release port. During this process, the rotating lifting plate 7 drives the rotating nut 5 to move on the screw 4 through the connecting rod 6. During this process, the linear motion of the rotating nut 5 is converted into the rotational motion of the rotating nut 5 through the threaded connection between the screw 4 and the rotating nut 5. The rotating nut 5 drives the rotating lifting plate 7 to rotate and rise through the connecting rod 6. At this time, the rotating lifting plate 7 drives the folding parachute 11 to rotate and push out. During this process, the folding parachute 11 pushes the protective cover 9 to come out, and the folding parachute 11 rotates during this process. At this time, the first counterweight 14 drives the folding parachute 11 to rotate and unfold rapidly under the action of centrifugal force, thereby reducing the descent speed of the aircraft through the parachute and improving the safety of the aircraft.

[0018] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 The bottom of the mounting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 2, and a mounting hole 3 is provided in the mounting plate 2. This utility model fixes the mounting cylinder 1 to the bottom of the aircraft by setting the mounting plate 2 and the mounting hole 3.

[0019] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 A limiting block 26 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 4. The present invention limits the position of the rotating nut 5 on the lead screw 4 by setting the limiting block 26, thereby preventing the rotating nut from coming off.

[0020] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3The release assembly includes a limiting slot 16 located on the side of the rotating lifting plate 7. An installation groove 15 is provided on the side of the installation cylinder 1. A fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation groove 15. A rotating buckle 22 is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 21. The rotating buckle 22 passes through the installation groove 15 and is located within the limiting slot 16. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating buckle 22 and the fixing frame 21. A fixing cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation cylinder 1. A telescopic rod 18 is slidably connected inside the fixing cylinder 17. A second counterweight 19 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 18. A connecting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the second counterweight 19. A limiting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 20. A limiting groove 23 is provided inside the rotating buckle 22, and the limiting rod 24 is located within the limiting groove 23. This utility model firstly utilizes the mutual interlocking of the rotating buckle 22 and the limiting slot 16. The rotating lifting plate 7 is limited to restrict its rotation. At the same time, a set of rotational driving force is applied to the rotating buckle 22 through the torsion spring, thereby driving the rotating buckle 22 to reverse and disengage from the limiting groove 16. When the release component is in the locked state, the limiting rod 24 is inserted into the limiting groove 23, thereby limiting the rotating buckle 22 and preventing it from reversing and disengaging from the limiting groove 16. However, when the aircraft loses power and flips during the fall, causing the bottom to face upward, the second counterweight 19 moves towards the fixed cylinder 17 under the action of gravity. The second counterweight 19 drives the limiting rod 24 to disengage from the limiting groove 23 through the connecting frame 20. At this time, the rotating buckle 22 loses its limit, the torsion spring releases energy, thereby rotating and disengaging the rotating buckle 22 from the limiting groove 16. At this time, the rotating lifting plate 7 loses its limit.

[0021] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 A solenoid valve 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating buckle 22. The solenoid valve 25 cooperates with the limiting groove 23. When the present invention is in a stopped state, the solenoid valve 25 extends to lock the limiting groove 23, thereby preventing the limiting rod 24 from coming off due to the operator flipping the equipment. When the equipment is in flight and suddenly loses power, the solenoid valve 25 is controlled to contract, thereby opening the limiting groove 23.
