Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft ground maintenance technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tool for installing aircraft slide packs. Background Technology
[0002] Airplane slide packs are emergency life-saving devices on aircraft, primarily used to evacuate passengers and crew in emergencies to minimize injury. Each cabin door of a passenger aircraft has an airplane slide pack containing a folded emergency slide. The Airbus A330's slide pack weighs 50 kg and measures 105 cm in length, 37 cm in width, and 45 cm in height. The bottom of the slide is 4 cm off the ground. There are no pre-designed handholds on the slide pack; due to the confined space, installation requires two people to support the bottom of the slide pack, raising it to approximately 6 cm. The slide is then aligned, and the U-shaped hook is attached to the boarding door hook. Finally, the slide is lowered back to its original 4 cm position. Because of the confined space and heavy weight of the slide pack, installation can easily result in hand or back injuries. Currently, there are no dedicated installation tools available domestically or internationally. Utility Model Content
