Parachute control system and method for an aircraft
First Claim
1. A parachute control system for an aircraft to control opening of a parachute of the aircraft, wherein the aircraft comprises an aircraft body and the parachute mounted on the aircraft body;
- wherein the parachute control system for an aircraft comprises a sensor device, a first control device, a second control device and a drive device;
wherein the sensor device is provided within the parachute, and is configured for sensing flight states of the aircraft, for converting the flight states to a sensor signal, and for transmitting the sensor signal to the first control device;
wherein the first control device is provided within the parachute, and the first control device is electrically connected to the sensor device for receiving the sensor signal, and is configured for judging whether the aircraft is in a normal flight state based on the sensor signal;
when the aircraft is in an abnormal flight state, the first control device is configured to convert the sensor signal into a first control signal and a second control signal, to transmit the first control signal to the drive device, and to transmit the second control signal to the second control device;
wherein the drive device is provided within the parachute, and is electrically connected to the first control device and the parachute, and is configured for receiving the first control signal and for driving the parachute to open in accordance with the first control signal; and
wherein the second control device is provided within the aircraft body, is electrically connected to the first control device, and is configured for receiving the second control signal, and for controlling the termination of operation of the aircraft body in accordance with the second control signal.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a parachute control system for an aircraft which comprises a sensor device, a first control device, a second control device and a drive device. The sensor device is configured for sensing flight states of the aircraft, for converting the flight states to a sensor signal, and for transmitting the sensor signal to the first control device. The first control device is electrically connected to the sensor device for receiving the sensor signal, and is configured for judging whether the aircraft is in a normal flight state based on the sensor signal. If the aircraft is in an abnormal flight state, the first control device is configured to control the parachute to open and to terminate the operation of the aircraft. The present disclosure also provides a parachute control method for an aircraft. The disclosed parachute control system and method automatically control the parachute to open and terminate the operation of the aircraft when the aircraft is in an abnormal flight state, ensuring that the aircraft may descend at a slow pace when the aircraft encounters any operation issues and preventing any damage or loss of the aircraft.
