  • Patent number: 9969498
    Abstract: A water-inflow prevention device is provided by installing a closing lid 6 for blocking a duct 2 of an air pressure regulating valve 1, which regulates air pressure inside a cabin 101. A buoyant body 9 is attached to the disc-shaped closing lid 6 installed to the duct 2 so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft 7. The buoyant body 9 receives a buoyant force from water when immersed in the water. Since the side of the closing lid 6 in which the buoyant body 9 is attached is thereby floated in the water, the closing lid 6 automatically rotates around the rotation shaft 7 so as to close a ventilation port 2a.

  • Patent number: 9868538
    Abstract: The present invention provides a water inflow prevention device that prevents an inflow of water into an aircraft when the aircraft lands in water through a communication passage allowing the inside and outside of the aircraft to communicate with each other. The water inflow prevention device includes a mesh part provided in the communication passage, through the mesh part a fluid flowing through the communication passage passes.

  • Patent number: 9688410
    Abstract: The present invention provides a water inflow prevention device for aircraft, working when landing in water, the device including: a blocking body for blocking a flow channel from an outside of the aircraft when landing in water, the flow channel allowing the inside and outside of the aircraft to communicate with each other, and a valve element of a pressure adjusting valve being positioned in the flow channel; and a connection part that is deformed when landing in water, wherein the blocking body is supported by a member constituting an end of the flow channel on a side outside the aircraft through the connection part, and the connection part is deformed in a direction so as to block the flow channel by the blocking body, with use of force of water acting on the blocking body when landing in water.
