Automatic umbilical connector separating mechanism allowing separating in the same direction as the motion of a flying object

The automatic umbilical connector separating mechanism allowing separating in the same direction as the motion of a flying object comprising:

• a male connector is mounted on a male connector frame;
• the male connector frame is fitted with two guide pins parallel to the pins of the male connector to connect with two guide holes on a female connector frame attached to the flying object;
• the male connector frame is suspended on a launch pad by a support frame, with two chains to create a pulling force opposite to a movement direction of the flying object and one pull spring to retract the male connector frame and male connector onto the launch pad;
• a female connector is attached to the female connector frame;
• the female connector frame is fixedly mounted with a cover and attached to a body of the flying object by a torsion spring hinge, which tends to fold the entire female connector frame into the body of the flying object body;
• the male and female connectors, after being connected, are fixedly held by two holding triggers;
• when the flying object is launched, the thrust from the flying object pulls the female connector frame in a translational motion, resulting in the two guide holes on the female connector frame moving over the two guide pins;
• meanwhile, the two chains and the pull spring pull the male connector frame in a opposite direction, resulting in the male and female connectors disconnecting and retracting, moving in the same direction as the flying object;
• once the male connector is completely separated from the female connector frame, the pull force from the pull spring retracts the male connector and the male connector frame onto the launch pad to avoid collision with parts on the flying object body;
• meanwhile, a torsion moment from the torsion spring hinge folds the female connector and the female connector frame into the object body to ensure aerodynamic quality after launch.
