Abstract
A parachute can be opened automatically without requiring manual operation. In addition, the parachute is capable of staying balanced during the course of landing. The parachute comprises: a spherical canopy, an air guide member and four assistant canopies. The air guide member is a rotation symmetrical structure with respect to the central axis, each of the cylindrical members is also a rotation symmetrical structure with respect to the assistant central axis, and the assistant canopies are also symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis, so as to maintain the parachute in a stable and balanced state when the parachute is falling.
Claims6
A parachute used to slow down the falling speed of a payload, comprising:
- a spherical canopy including a central axis and an air hole which is sealed with a plug, a plurality of connecting members being located around the central axis and each having one end fixed at a bottom of the spherical canopy and having another end fixed to the payload;
- an air guide member surrounding the central axis and being fixed to a periphery of the spherical parachute, the air guide member including an annular portion and a skirt portion extending toward the bottom of the spherical canopy, around a bottom of the annular portion being formed at least three air guide grooves, and each of the air guide grooves being formed with an air passage extending toward the top of the spherical canopy, each of the air passages being formed at a top end thereof with an opening, around each of the air passages being disposed a cylindrical member which is in communication with the opening of the air passages, the air guide member being a rotation symmetrical structure with respect to the central axis;
- and
- at least three assistant canopies fixed in the cylindrical members by fixing members.
