Abstract

Disclosed is an objects falling deceleration system that is activated by air buoyance and is mountable on an object and includes at least one air buoyance element, at least one activation member, and at least one deceleration device. The at least one activation member is coupled to the at least one air buoyance element. The at least one deceleration device is coupled to the at least one activation member. When the object falls down, air buoyance acts on the at least one air buoyance element to drive the at least one activation member to activate the at least one deceleration device. As such, through air buoyance activating the at least one deceleration device, an effect of reducing the falling speed of the object can be achieved.

Claims (9)

1. An air buoyance-activated objects falling deceleration system, adapted to be installed on an object, comprising:

at least one air buoyance element, the at least one air buoyance element including at least one turbulence board;

at least one activation member coupled to the at least one air buoyance element, the at least one activation member including at least one hook or at least one connection piece; and

at least one deceleration device coupled to the at least one activation member, the at least one deceleration device comprises at least one parachute arranged inside the object, the object being connected to the parachute through a plurality of fastening cables or a plurality of hooks;

wherein when the object falls, air buoyance acting upon the at least one air buoyance element causes the at least one activation member to activate the at least one deceleration device.

2. The air buoyance-activated objects falling deceleration system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the object comprises at least one of a container, a glider, a hot-air balloon, a paraglider, a parachute, a helicopter, an aircraft, and a flight vehicle.

3. The air buoyance-activated objects falling deceleration system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the object has a weight that is greater than a weight of the at least one air buoyance element.

4. The air buoyance-activated objects falling deceleration system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a sensor to detect a falling speed of the object.

5. The air buoyance-activated objects falling deceleration system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein when the falling speed of the object is greater than a predetermined threshold speed of the sensor, the sensor activates the deceleration device.
