Embodiment Construction

[0023] Please also refer to figure 1 and figure 2 The tethered balloon 100 includes a balloon 10, a rotating device 30 mounted below the balloon 10, a fixing device 50 fixed on the rotating device 30, an antenna 52 accommodated in the fixing device 50, and a wire with one end fixed on the antenna 52. Cable 53, and the mooring rope 60 that one end is fixed on the rotating device 30. Wherein, the other end of the cable 53 passes through an object (not shown) on the ground, such as a winch, and is fixed on the ground (not shown); the other end of the tethered rope 60 passes through another object on the ground, such as hoist) fixed on the ground. In this embodiment, the tethered balloon 100 communicates with a base station (not shown) on the ground. The base station converts the communication signal and transmits it to the cable 53. The cable 53 processes the communication signal and transmits it to the antenna 52. The antenna 52 transmits the received communication signals t...

Abstract

A tethered balloon comprises a balloon, a tethered rope, an antenna, a cable, a rotation device and a fixation device, wherein the rotation device is hung under the balloon; the rotation device comprises a rotation assembly and a support fixed on the rotation assembly; the rotation assembly comprises a bearing base, a bearing set stored by the bearing base and a spindle passing the bearing set, and the spindle is connected to the balloon and rotates with motion of the balloon; the bearing set is used to offset torsion of the spindle to the bearing set and keeps the position of the bearing base unchanged; the fixation device comprises a storage tube fixed on the support; the tethered rope is fixed on the support; the cable is connected to the antenna and partially stored in the storage tube; and because of the unchanged position of the bearing base, the position of the support is also kept unchanged. The tethered balloon provided by the invention is characterized in that the support does not rotate along with changing of the direction of the balloon, and thus the tethered balloon and the cable fixed on the support do not rotate. In this way, winding of the tethered rope and the cable is effectively prevented, and the worse problem of twisting and breaking of the tethered rope or the cable can be effectively prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hot air balloon, in particular to a tethered balloon. Background technique [0002] A traditional tethered balloon consists of a balloon, a tether, a cable with one end fixed to the balloon and a winch tied to the ground at the other end, and a turning mechanism located on the ground. One end of the tether is tied to the balloon, and the other end is tied to the rotating device. When the balloon is in the air, it is easily affected by the wind and changes its orientation. In order to prevent the tethering rope from being entangled with the cable, a rotating device is usually used to rotate with the change of the balloon's orientation, so that the distance between the tethering rope and the cable The positional relationship maintains a dynamic balance, thereby preventing the mooring rope and the cable from being entangled together, causing the mooring rope or the cable to be twisted. However, when the orientation of the ball...
