  • Patent number: 11905021
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention discloses a repair system for a planetary exploration parachute. The repair system includes a folding piece and a fuse, the fuse is provided in the folding piece, a sensing signal for reflecting an impact force of dust is received by the fuse, fusing is generated in the fuse when the sensing signal is greater than a preset threshold, and the folding piece is changed from a folded state to an unfolded state after the fusing is generated in the fuse, so as to automatically repair a damaged part of the parachute.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11738885
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention discloses a monitoring and repair method for a planetary exploration parachute system. The monitoring and repair method includes: sensing an impact force of dust and generating a sensing signal by a sensor; receiving the sensing signal by an electrode in a fuse; and when the sensing signal is greater than a preset threshold, fusing a safety wire in the fuse; after the safety wire is fused, changing a spring in the fuse from a compressed state to a natural state to generate tension; and rotating a repair rod under an action of the tension to drive a folding piece to be changed into an unfolded state from a folded state, thus realizing precise evaluation of impact damage of dust particles to a parachute body, closed-loop control and real-time self-repair.
