Pod supporting frame, high-altitude balloon issuing device and issuing method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a pod supporting frame, a high-altitude balloon issuing device and an issuing method of the high-altitude balloon issuing device. The pod supporting frame comprises a support assembly, a supporting rod assembly, a frame body assembly and a handrail assembly, the supporting rod assembly is supported between the support assembly and the frame body assembly, and the handrail assembly is arranged at the upper end of the frame body assembly; and an unlocking device capable of locking or opening the suspended pod is arranged on one side of the frame body assembly. The structure of the supporting frame is designed, the pod can be hung on the supporting frame, and compared with an existing device, cost can be saved, and movement is convenient; in addition, locking and opening of the pod are achieved through the unlocking device, and therefore safe and rapid launching of the high-altitude balloons is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-altitude balloons, in particular to a pod support frame, a high-altitude balloon release device and a release method thereof. Background technique [0002] High-altitude balloon, also known as high-altitude scientific balloon, is a kind of unpowered aircraft that relies on buoyant gas to lift into the air and can fly at a near space altitude under the action of wind. High-altitude balloons have many advantages such as high flying height, long stay in the air, low manufacturing cost, short preparation period, and easy and flexible deployment. It is a vehicle for carrying out various space science and technology research. [0003] The ground release process of high-altitude balloons is crucial, which determines the success or failure of the payload mission from the very beginning. The high-altitude balloons mainly face the following problems during the release process: a. The balloon is a joyride dur...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The high-altitude balloons mainly face the following problems during the release process: a. The balloon is a joyride during the inflation process on the ground, and it will shake due to the wind speed and direction. Therefore, the release operation is usually performed when the wind speed near the ground is ≤5m / s; b. At the moment of balloon release, due to the heavy load, the impact overload at the moment of release is large, and the damage to the pod and release device is large; c. The required support resources are complex, and special release devices (such as large-scale modified cranes and roller cars) are usually required. Operators and other equipment

[0006] a. The composition of the device is complicated, and the cost of development and use is expensive. For example, large-scale modified cranes and roller cars need to be modified with the chassis of large-scale special vehicles, and the cost can easily be tens of millions

In addition, when carrying out flight tests, it is necessary to drive there, which will incur additional costs, and cannot enter some Gobi Desert and saline-alkali land areas;

[0007] b. The safety of release and operation is limited. For example, when the hoist is used for release, the pod is placed on the ground or a flat trolley, and the impact at the moment of its lift-off will cause the pod to collide, which may damage the equipment in the cabin or even lead to mission failure.

In addition, when a crane is used for dynamic release, the personnel need to stand on the crane to ascend the height at the moment of release to complete the operation of pushing the pod at the moment of release, which has certain safety risks
