[0057] The following will be described in combination with Figures 1 to 9 The high-altitude balloon launching shelter and launching method of the present application are described.

[0058] According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the high-altitude balloon launching shelter includes a shelter body 1, a tether take-up and pay-off assembly 2, a first cutting member, an inflation assembly 4, a lifting assembly 5, a gondola 6 and a control assembly. The shelter body 1 is provided with a high-altitude balloon 11 inside. The tether take-up and pay-off assembly 2 is arranged in the shelter body 1. The tether take-up and pay-off assembly 2 is connected with the high-altitude balloon 11 through a first tether 21. The first cutting member is arranged at the first tether 21. The first cutting member is used to cut the first tether 21. The inflation assembly 4 is arranged in the shelter body 1. The inflation assembly 4 is connected with the high-altitude balloon 11. The inflation assembly 4 is adapted to deliver gas to the high-altitude balloon 11. The lifting assembly 5 is arranged in the shelter body 1. The gondola 6 is connected with the high-altitude balloon 11. The gondola 6 is arranged in the lifting assembly 5. The lifting assembly 5 is used to drive the gondola 6 to lift. The control assembly is connected with the tether take-up and pay-off assembly 2, the first cutting member, the inflation assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 5 respectively.

[0059] According to the high-altitude balloon launching shelter of the present application, the tether take-up and pay-off assembly 2, the first cutting member, the inflation assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 5 are installed in the shelter body 1. Then, after the shelter body 1 is packaged, the shelter body 1 and the components in the shelter body 1 can be transported together to the designated position, which is convenient for transportation. When the shelter body 1 is transported to the designated position, the top plate of the shelter body 1 is opened. Then, the high-altitude balloon launching can be started. There is no need to perform a complex installation process on site. This is convenient for rapid deployment of the high-altitude balloon launching shelter and improves the launching speed of the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0060] The control assembly controls the inflating assembly 4 to start working, so that the inflating assembly 4 inflates the high altitude balloon 11, and when the inflation is completed, the high altitude balloon 11 is constrained by the first tether 21. Then the control assembly controls the tether releasing and winding assembly 2 to continuously release the first tether 21, so that the high altitude balloon 11 can continuously ascend until the high altitude balloon 11 is completely upright. While the high altitude balloon 11 continuously ascends, the control assembly controls the lifting assembly 5 to lift the gondola 6, so that the gondola 6 is higher than the inner wall surface of the cabin 1, avoiding the collision between the gondola 6 and the cabin 1 to cause the damage of the gondola 6. Then the control assembly controls the first cutting member to cut the first tether 21, so that the high altitude balloon 11 can ascend together with the gondola 6 to leave the cabin 1, thereby completing the release of the high altitude balloon 11 and improving the automation degree of the release of the high altitude balloon.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the first tether 21 is, for example, a rope or a connecting line. However, it should be understood that the first tether 21 can also be any other suitable structural member.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the control member is, for example, a PLC controller or a remote controller or any other suitable element with a control function.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the first tether 21 is, for example, connected to the high altitude balloon 11 through a pull handle on the high altitude balloon 11. The first tether 21 can also be directly tied and connected to the high altitude balloon 11. However, it should be understood that the first tether 21 can also be connected to the high altitude balloon 11 in any other suitable manner.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabin 1 includes a balloon placing bin 12 and an equipment placing bin 13, and a partition 14 is arranged between the balloon placing bin 12 and the equipment placing bin 13. The high altitude balloon 11 is located in the balloon placing bin 12, and the inflating assembly 4, the lifting assembly 5 and the gondola 6 are located in the equipment placing bin 13. In use, the equipment such as the inflating assembly 4, the lifting assembly 5 and the gondola 6 is placed in the equipment placing bin 13, the high altitude balloon 11 is placed in the balloon placing bin 12, and the high altitude balloon 11 and the equipment are separated by the partition 14, so that the direct contact between the high altitude balloon 11 and the equipment can be avoided to cause the damage of the high altitude balloon 11.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the volume of the balloon placing bin 12 is two-thirds of the volume of the cabin 1.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the partition 14 is, for example, a tarpaulin curtain or a foam board. However, it should be understood that the partition 14 can also be any other suitable structural member with a partition function.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the inner wall surface of the ball placing bin 12 is provided with a flexible member. By providing the flexible member on the inner wall surface of the ball placing bin 12, when the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the high altitude balloon 11 will not directly contact the inner wall surface of the ball placing bin 12, but will first contact the flexible member, thereby avoiding damage to the high altitude balloon 11 caused by direct contact with the ball placing bin 12.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, for example, the side wall surface of the ball placing bin 12 is provided with a flexible member. Since one side of the ball placing bin 12 is in communication with the device placing bin 13, the ball placing bin 12 has only three side wall surfaces. By providing the flexible member on the three side wall surfaces of the ball placing bin 12, it can effectively avoid damage to the high altitude balloon 11 caused by direct contact with the side wall surface of the ball placing bin 12 when the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated and expands.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the flexible member is, for example, a foam board or a rubber plate. However, it should be understood that the flexible member can also be any other suitable flexible structure.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the side wall of the cabin body 1 is provided with a tether limiting member, and the first tether 21 passes through the through hole of the tether limiting member. In use, by installing the tether limiting member on the side wall surface of the cabin body 1, the first tether 21 is first passed through the through hole of the tether limiting member and then connected with the high altitude balloon 11, so that the tether limiting member can limit the first tether 21, avoiding interference between the first tether 21 and other components.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the tether limiting member is, for example, a metal ring or a hollow plate. However, it should be understood that the tether limiting member can also be any other suitable material or shape.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tether winding and unwinding assembly 2 includes four electric winches 22, which are respectively located at the four corners of the cabin body 1. Each electric winch 22 is connected with the high altitude balloon 11 through the first tether 21. In use, one electric winch 22 is connected with one first tether 21, that is, each electric winch 22 is connected with the high altitude balloon 11 through the first tether 21, so that the electric winch 22 can drive the first tether 21 to keep a taut state, so that the first tether 21 can limit and fix the high altitude balloon 11, and the high altitude balloon 11 is limited and fixed in multiple directions by the first tether 21.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the cabin body 1 is, for example, a cuboid, and the four electric winches 22 are, for example, arranged at the four right angles of the cabin body 1. However, it should be understood that the cabin body 1 can also be any other suitable shape, and the electric winches 22 can also be arranged at any other suitable position.

[0074] Further, four electric winches 22 are arranged at four corners of the cabin 1, for example.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, a passage is arranged between the inflating assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 5. In use, a passage for the workers to pass through is formed between the inflating assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 5 by keeping a certain distance between the inflating assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 5, thereby facilitating the workers to install, maintain, inspect and the like the inflating assembly 4, the lifting assembly 5 and the gondola 6 and the like.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the inflating assembly 4 comprises a helium storage 41, an inflating pipe 42 and an inflating port 43, the helium storage 41 is installed in the cabin 1, the inflating port 43 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate of the cabin 1, one end of the inflating pipe 42 is connected with the helium storage 41, the other end of the inflating pipe 42 is connected with the inflating port 43, and the high-altitude balloon 11 is communicated with the inflating port 43. In use, the helium storage 41 is opened, the helium in the helium storage 41 is transported to the inflating port 43 through the inflating pipe 42, and then the helium enters the high-altitude balloon 11 through the inflating port 43, thereby realizing the inflating operation of the high-altitude balloon 11. When the inflating operation of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed, the helium storage 41 is closed, and the connection between the inflating port 43 and the high-altitude balloon 11 is disconnected, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 is not affected by the inflating assembly 4 when the high-altitude balloon 11 ascends.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the inflating assembly 4 comprises a high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve, the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve is connected with a control device, an air inlet of the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve is connected with the helium storage 41, and the inflating pipe 42 is connected with an air outlet of the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve and the inflating port 43. In use, the control device sends an opening signal to the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve, so that the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve is automatically opened, the helium in the helium storage 41 can be transported to the inflating pipe 42 through the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve, and then transported to the high-altitude balloon 11, thereby realizing the automatic inflating operation of the high-altitude balloon 11. When the inflating operation of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed, the control device sends a closing signal to the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve, so that the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve is closed, and the helium in the helium storage 41 cannot be transported to the high-altitude balloon 11, thereby realizing the automatic stopping of the inflating operation of the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, the inflating assembly 4 comprises a mass flow meter, which is arranged in the inflating pipe 42 and connected to the control device, and is used to detect the gas flow rate delivered into the high-altitude balloon 11. In use, when the helium in the helium storage 41 is delivered into the high-altitude balloon 11, it needs to pass through the mass flow meter first, so that the mass flow meter can detect the gas flow rate delivered into the high-altitude balloon 11 and send the detection data to the control device. When the mass flow meter detects that the gas flow rate delivered into the high-altitude balloon 11 reaches a preset value, the control device controls the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve to close. Thus, the automatic detection of the gas content in the high-altitude balloon 11 is realized, and the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve can be accurately closed to avoid too much or too little gas in the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, the inflating assembly 4 further comprises a pressure sensor, which is arranged on the helium storage 41 and connected to the control device, and is used to detect the gas pressure in the helium storage 41. In use, the pressure sensor can detect the gas pressure in the helium storage 41 in real time, so that it can be known how much helium is delivered out of the helium storage 41 and how much gas is in the high-altitude balloon 11. When the pressure sensor detects that the gas pressure in the helium storage 41 drops to a preset value, it indicates that the inflating of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed. Since the pressure sensor is connected to the control device, the pressure sensor can transmit the detection result to the control device, so that the control device can control the helium storage 41 to close when the inflating of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed, and the delivery of gas into the high-altitude balloon 11 can be stopped in time. Thus, the automatic detection of the gas content in the high-altitude balloon 11 is realized, and the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve can be accurately closed to avoid too much or too little gas in the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the inflating assembly 4 can comprise both the pressure sensor and the mass flow meter, so that the accuracy of the detection of the gas content in the high-altitude balloon 11 can be improved, and the high-pressure explosion-proof electromagnetic valve can be more accurately closed to further ensure that there is neither too much nor too little gas in the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the inflating port 43 is provided with an electric claw, which is connected to the control device and is used to grip the high-altitude balloon 11. In use, the inflating port 43 is communicated with the high-altitude balloon 11, so that the helium in the helium storage 41 can enter the high-altitude balloon 11 through the inflating port 43. Before the inflating of the high-altitude balloon 11, the control device controls the electric claw to grip the high-altitude balloon 11, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 is limited to avoid large-scale shaking and displacement during the inflating.

[0082] It should be noted that after the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the control member controls the electric claw to open, and at this time the high altitude balloon 11 is limited and fixed by the first tether 21.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, a second tether is arranged between the gondola 6 and the lifting assembly 5, and the second tether is suitable for fixing the gondola 6 to the lifting assembly 5. In use, the gondola 6 and the lifting assembly 5 are connected together by the second tether, so as to avoid the gondola 6 from being separated from the lifting assembly 5 when the lifting assembly 5 lifts the gondola 6.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, a second cutting member is arranged at the second tether, and the second cutting member is connected to the control member, and the second cutting member is suitable for cutting the second tether. When the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the tether releasing and winding assembly 2 gradually releases the first tether 21 until the high altitude balloon 11 is completely upright, at which time the first cutting member cuts the first tether 21 and the second cutting member cuts the second tether, so that the high altitude balloon 11 can lift the gondola 6 together under the action of the buoyancy.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the first cutting member and the second cutting member are, for example, cutters. However, it should be understood that the first cutting member and the second cutting member can also be any other suitable structure.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the high altitude balloon launching cabin includes a ball restraining member arranged at the lower part of the air inlet of the high altitude balloon 11. In use, the ball restraining member arranged on the high altitude balloon 11 can limit the size of the high altitude balloon 11 before the high altitude balloon 11 is lifted, so as to avoid the high altitude balloon 11 from swinging too much due to the excessive wind area before the high altitude balloon 11 is lifted, and the safety of the high altitude balloon 11 can be maximally protected. The ball restraining member is opened when the high altitude balloon 11 is lifted, so that the high altitude balloon 11 can be normally lifted.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the lifting assembly 5 includes, for example, a lifting motor and a lifting platform, and the gondola 6 is installed on the lifting platform, and the lifting motor can drive the lifting platform to move up and down. The lifting assembly 5 can also include a lifting cylinder and a lifting plate, and the gondola 6 is installed on the lifting plate, and the lifting cylinder can drive the lifting plate to move up and down. However, it should be understood that the lifting assembly 5 can also be any other suitable structure.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 The high altitude balloon launching method includes:

[0089] 101. Transport the high altitude balloon launching cabin to a designated launching site, open the top plate of the cabin body 1, so that the high altitude balloon 11 is directly communicated with the outside world;

[0090] Specifically, after the high-altitude balloon launching cabin is transported to the designated launching site, the high-altitude balloon launching cabin is unfolded, according to the surface wind field of the launching site, the side where the lifting assembly 5 and the inflation assembly 4 are located is placed in the downwind direction, the state of the control member and the inflation assembly 4 is checked, and the whole system is powered on.

[0091] 102. Control the inflation assembly 4 to inflate the high-altitude balloon 11 until the high-altitude balloon 11 is fully inflated.

[0092] Specifically, the inflation assembly 4 delivers helium into the high-altitude balloon 11 through the gas inlet of the high-altitude balloon 11, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 gradually fills with helium and has buoyancy. When the high-altitude balloon 11 is fully inflated, the inflation assembly 4 and the gas inlet of the high-altitude balloon 11 are disconnected, and the gas inlet of the high-altitude balloon 11 is closed.

[0093] It should be noted that the high-altitude balloon 11 is fixed by the electric claw during the early stage of inflation, and the electric claw is opened after inflation is completed, and the high-altitude balloon 11 is fixed by the first tether 21.

[0094] 103. Control the first tether 21 release assembly 2 to start releasing the first tether 21, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 continuously rises until the high-altitude balloon 11 is in a vertical state.

[0095] Specifically, the first tether 21 release assembly 2 gradually releases the first tether 21, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 continuously rises under the action of buoyancy. When the high-altitude balloon 11 is in a completely vertical state, the first tether 21 release assembly 2 stops releasing the first tether 21, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 remains in a vertical state.

[0096] 104. Control the lifting assembly 5 to lift the gondola 6, so that the gondola 6 is higher than the cabin 1.

[0097] Specifically, while the first tether 21 release assembly 2 releases the first tether 21, the lifting assembly 5 lifts the gondola 6, so that the gondola 6 is higher than the cabin 1, which can prevent the gondola 6 and the cabin 1 from colliding.

[0098] 105. Cut the first tether 21, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 lifts the gondola 6.

[0099] Specifically, when the gondola 6 is higher than the cabin 1 and the high-altitude balloon 11 is in a completely vertical state, the first tether 21 is cut, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 rises under the action of buoyancy and lifts the gondola 6, realizing the automatic launching of the high-altitude balloon 11 and improving the degree of automation.

[0100] The high altitude balloon launching method in the related art completes the inflation of the high altitude balloon 11 in a closed space, and is only applicable to small balloons. The high altitude balloon launching method of the present application opens the top cover of the cabin 1 before the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, and limits and fixes the high altitude balloon 11 through the first tether 21 and other components, which can reduce the volume restriction of the cabin 1 on the high altitude balloon 11, and is thus applicable to medium and small high altitude balloons 11.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inflation assembly 4 can further include a self-sealing valve 44, an elastic switch element 45, an inflation hard pipe 46, and a clamping assembly 47. The self-sealing valve 44 is installed on the high altitude balloon 11, and a cavity 441 is formed in the self-sealing valve 44. A first end of the self-sealing valve 44 is provided with a connecting channel 442, and a second end of the self-sealing valve 44 is provided with an air outlet in communication with the cavity 441. The air outlet is in communication with the high altitude balloon 11. The elastic switch element 45 is arranged in the cavity 441. The inflation hard pipe 46 is movable relative to the connecting channel 442, so that the elastic switch element 45 is switched between an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the inflation hard pipe 46 abuts against the elastic switch element 45, and the inflation hard pipe 46 is in communication with the cavity 441. In the closed state, the inflation hard pipe 46 is separated from the elastic switch element 45, and the cavity 441 is not in communication with the inflation hard pipe 46 and the outside. The clamping assembly 47 is arranged on the inflation hard pipe 46, and in the open state, the clamping assembly 47 is clamped with the self-sealing valve 44.

[0102] In use, the self-sealing valve 44 is installed on the high-altitude balloon 11, and the gas outlet of the self-sealing valve 44 is communicated with the high-altitude balloon 11, and the inflation hard pipe 46 is fixedly connected with the ground or the equipment on the ground. When it is needed to inflate the high-altitude balloon 11, the inflation hard pipe 46 is moved to the self-sealing valve 44, one end of the inflation hard pipe 46 is clamped with the connecting channel 442 and moves along the connecting channel 442, the inflation hard pipe 46 abuts against the elastic switch element 45, the elastic switch element 45 is deformed, at this time, the elastic switch element 45 is in an open state, the inflation hard pipe 46 is communicated with the cavity 441, and then the helium or other suitable gas can be delivered into the cavity 441 through the inflation hard pipe 46, and then the gas is delivered from the gas outlet of the self-sealing valve 44 into the high-altitude balloon 11, thereby realizing the inflation operation of the high-altitude balloon 11. In the open state, the clamping assembly 47 is clamped with the self-sealing valve 44, after the inflation of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed, at this time, the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon 11 can drive the self-sealing valve 44 to rise together, so that the clamping assembly 47 is no longer clamped with the self-sealing valve 44 together, the inflation hard pipe 46 gradually moves away from the connecting channel 442, that is, the inflation hard pipe 46 no longer abuts against the elastic switch element 45, the elastic switch element 45 recovers the deformation and at the same time isolates the cavity 441 from the outside, so that the high-altitude balloon 11 cannot be communicated with the outside. Thus, the automatic sealing of the high-altitude balloon 11 is realized when the inflation is completed, the inflation hard pipe 46 and the high-altitude balloon 11 are automatically separated, the manual operation is effectively reduced, the safety hidden danger is reduced, the automation degree of the inflation of the high-altitude balloon 11 is improved, and the risk that the high-altitude balloon 11 carries the hose when rising and the components left on the high-altitude balloon 11 interfere with other components is avoided.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional area of the cavity 441 gradually increases along the direction from the connecting channel 442 to the gas outlet. The cavity 441 in the sealing valve is used as the inflation pipeline of the high-altitude balloon 11, compared with the related art that the inflation hard pipe 46 is directly communicated with the high-altitude balloon 11, the diameter of the inflation pipeline is effectively increased, so that the self-sealing valve 44 can play a role in inflation and pressure reduction.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the elastic switch element 45 comprises an elastic member 451 and a sealing cover 452, one end of the elastic member 451 is connected with the self-sealing valve 44, and the other end of the elastic member 451 is connected with the sealing cover 452;

[0105] In the process that the elastic switch element 45 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the inflation hard pipe 46 applies an external force to the sealing cover 452 to drive the elastic member 451 to deform;

[0106] In the process that the elastic switch element 45 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the inflation tube 46 withdraws the external force applied to the sealing cover 452, the elastic member 451 restores the original shape and drives the sealing cover 452 to move towards the connecting channel 442, so that the sealing cover 452 is sealingly connected with any one of the inner wall surface of the cavity 441 and the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442.

[0107] Specifically, when the high-altitude balloon 11 needs to be inflated, the inflation tube 46 is inserted into the connecting channel 442, and the inflation tube 46 is abutted with the sealing cover 452, so that the sealing cover 452 is away from the connecting channel 442, and the elastic member 451 also deforms, at this time, the elastic switch element 45 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the inflation tube 46 is in communication with the cavity 441, and helium can be delivered into the cavity 441 through the inflation tube 46, and then the helium is delivered into the high-altitude balloon 11 through the gas outlet of the self-sealing valve 44, so as to realize the inflation operation of the high-altitude balloon 11. After the inflation of the high-altitude balloon 11 is completed, the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon 11 drives the self-sealing valve 44 to break away from the clamping assembly 47, so that the self-sealing valve 44 gradually moves away from the inflation tube 46, and then the inflation tube 46 is no longer abutted with the sealing cover 452, the elastic member 451 restores the deformation and drives the sealing cover 452 to return to the initial position, so that the sealing cover 452 is sealingly connected with the inner wall surface of the cavity 441 or the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442, so that the cavity 441 is isolated from the outside, and the gas in the high-altitude balloon 11 cannot flow out through the connecting channel 442, thereby realizing the automatic sealing operation of the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the sealing cover 452 is provided with a first sealing member 4521, and in the closed state:

[0109] the first sealing member 4521 is abutted with the inner wall surface of the cavity 441; or,

[0110] the first sealing member 4521 is abutted with the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442.

[0111] In use, the sealing performance of the self-sealing valve 44 can be effectively improved by arranging the first sealing element 4521 on the sealing cover 452. When the elastic switch element 45 is in the closed state, the sealing cover 452 is located in the cavity 441, the first sealing element 4521 on the sealing cover 452 abuts against the inner wall surface of the cavity 441, and the sealing cover 452 is sealingly connected with the inner wall surface of the cavity 441, so that the cavity 441 of the high-altitude balloon 11 part cannot communicate with the outside, and the high-altitude balloon 11 cannot communicate with the outside. When the elastic switch element 45 is in the closed state, the sealing cover 452 can also be located in the connecting channel 442, and the first sealing element 4521 on the sealing cover 452 is sealingly connected with the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442, so that the cavity 441 cannot communicate with the outside through the connecting channel 442, and the sealing of the high-altitude balloon 11 is achieved.

[0112] Specifically, when the first sealing element 4521 abuts against the inner wall surface of the cavity 441, the first sealing element 4521 is preferably in abutment with the end surface of the one end of the connecting channel 442 close to the cavity 441.

[0113] In the embodiments of the present application, the first sealing element 4521 is, for example, a sealing ring or a sealing sheet. However, it should be understood that the first sealing element 4521 can also be any other suitable structure having a sealing function.

[0114] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the elastic switch element 45 includes a limiting rod 453, the limiting rod 453 is connected with the self-sealing valve 44, the sealing cover 452 is located between the limiting rod 453 and the inflation hard tube 46, and the limiting rod 453 is located on the movement path of the sealing cover 452. Specifically, in the process of switching the elastic switch element 45 from the closed state to the open state, the inflation hard tube 46 applies an external force to the sealing cover 452 to move the sealing cover 452 away from the connecting channel 442, and drives the elastic element 451 to deform. The arrangement of the limiting rod 453 can limit the movement of the sealing cover 452, so that the inflation hard tube 46 can only move the sealing cover 452 to the position of the limiting rod 453, thereby avoiding the situation that the inflation hard tube 46 damages the elastic switch element 45 or even the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0115] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the side wall surface of the end of the inflation tube 46 abutting against the elastic switch element 45 is provided with a vent hole 461, and in the open state, the vent hole 461 is located in the cavity 441. Specifically, the inflation tube 46 is moved along the connecting channel 442 into the cavity 441, so that the inflation tube 46 abuts against the sealing cover 452, and drives the sealing cover 452 away from the connecting channel 442. At this time, the elastic switch element 45 is in the open state, and the vent hole 461 on the inflation tube 46 is located in the cavity 441. Then, helium is delivered into the inflation tube 46, so that the helium can enter the cavity 441 from the vent hole 461, ensuring the gas outlet speed of the inflation tube 46, and avoiding the situation that the inflation tube 46 is blocked by the sealing cover 452 when discharging gas, resulting in a low gas outlet speed.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the inflation tube 46 is provided with a second sealing member 462, which abuts against the end surface of the first end of the self-sealing valve 44, or abuts against the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442. In use, by providing the second sealing member 462 on the inflation tube 46, when the elastic switch element 45 is in the open state, the second sealing member 462 can abut against the end surface of the first end of the self-sealing valve 44, ensuring the sealing performance between the inflation tube 46 and the self-sealing valve 44, and avoiding helium leakage between the inflation tube 46 and the self-sealing valve 44; the second sealing member 462 can also abut against the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 442, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the inflation tube 46 and the connecting channel 442, so that helium cannot leak between the inflation tube 46 and the connecting channel.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the second sealing member 462 is, for example, a sealing ring or a sealing sheet. However, it should be understood that the second sealing member 462 can also be any other suitable structure having a sealing function.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the clamping assembly 47 comprises a clamping rod 471, the clamping rod 471 is mounted on the inflating hard tube 46, the first end of the self-sealing valve 44 is tapered, and the clamping rod 471 is adapted to clamp with the first end of the self-sealing valve 44. In use, one end of the clamping rod 471 is connected with the inflating hard tube 46, and the other end of the clamping rod 471 can rotate relative to the inflating hard tube 46 in a small range. When the high altitude balloon 11 needs to be inflated, the other end of the clamping rod 471 is first rotated relative to the inflating hard tube 46, the inflating hard tube 46 is moved along the connecting channel 442 to the cavity 441, and the other end of the clamping rod 471 is clamped with the first end of the self-sealing valve 44, so that the inflating hard tube 46 and the self-sealing valve 44 are connected. When the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the buoyancy of the high altitude balloon 11 will drive the self-sealing valve 44 to overcome the clamping force of the clamping rod 471, so that the self-sealing valve 44 is separated from the inflating hard tube 46, and the inflating hard tube 46 and the high altitude balloon 11 are automatically separated.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the clamping assembly 47 comprises a cutter 472, a third tether 473 and at least two clamping rods 471, the at least two clamping rods 471 are each provided with a connecting hole, the first end of the third tether 473 is sequentially threaded through the connecting holes of the at least two clamping rods 471, the first end of the third tether 473 is connected with the second end of the third tether 473, and the cutter 472 is arranged at the third tether 473, and the cutter 472 is adapted to cut the third tether 473. In use, the at least two clamping rods 471 are clamped with the self-sealing valve 44 at the same time, then the first end of the third tether 473 is sequentially threaded through the connecting hole of each clamping rod 471, and then the first end of the third tether 473 and the second end of the third tether 473 are connected together, and then the connection of the clamping rod 471 and the self-sealing valve 44 is reinforced by the third tether 473. When the high altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the cutter 472 is detonated, the cutter 472 cuts the third tether 473, so that the third tether 473 cannot tighten the clamping rod 471, and then under the action of the buoyancy of the high altitude balloon 11, the high altitude balloon 11 can drive the self-sealing valve 44 to rise together.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, the third tether 473 is, for example, a rubber rope or a rope. However, it should be understood that the third tether 473 can also be any other suitable structure.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 47 can also comprise a clamping block arranged on the inflating hard tube 46 and a clamping groove arranged on the self-sealing valve 44, and in the open state, the clamping block and the clamping groove are clamped. However, it should be understood that the clamping assembly 47 can also be any other suitable structure.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown inFigure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the high-altitude balloon launch container includes a helium storage unit 41 and an exhaust pipe 48. The exhaust pipe 48 is installed at the second end of the self-sealing valve 44 and communicates with the exhaust port. The exhaust pipe 48 is located inside the high-altitude balloon 11 and has multiple exhaust holes. The helium storage unit 41 is connected to the inflation rigid pipe 46. The helium storage unit 41 allows gas to flow sequentially through the inflation rigid pipe 46, the self-sealing valve 44, and the exhaust pipe 48 before entering the high-altitude balloon 11. Specifically, before inflating the high-altitude balloon 11, the exhaust pipe 48 is inserted into the high-altitude balloon 11. Then, the helium storage unit 41 delivers helium to the self-sealing valve 44 through the exhaust pipe 48. The helium then flows along the self-sealing valve 44 and the exhaust pipe 48 into the high-altitude balloon 11, thus inflating the high-altitude balloon 11. When the high-altitude balloon 11 is inflated, the exhaust pipe 48 extends into the high-altitude balloon 11. The exhaust pipe 48 can expand the high-altitude balloon 11, preventing the balloon membrane of the high-altitude balloon 11 from sticking together when gas enters the high-altitude balloon 11, thereby effectively reducing the vibration of the balloon membrane caused by gas flow.

[0123] In the embodiments of this application, foam is provided inside the air outlet pipe 48. The foam can further buffer the vibration of the diaphragm when the high-altitude balloon 11 is inflated, and can also effectively reduce noise.

[0124] It should be noted that foam, for example, is EVA foam. However, it should be understood that foam can also be any other suitable type.

[0125] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure As shown, the high-altitude balloon launch container includes a fixed base 49, and an inflation hose 46 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 49, which is fixedly installed on the ground. In use, the fixed base 49 is first fixedly installed on the ground, and then the inflation hose 46 is installed on the fixed base 49. This allows the fixed base 49 to limit and fix the inflation hose 46, preventing it from rising along with the high-altitude balloon 11.

[0126] In the embodiments of this application, the inflatable rigid tube 46 includes a ball joint and a right-angle elbow connected in sequence, so that the shape of the inflatable rigid tube 46 is L-shaped.

[0127] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this application and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of this application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application and should be covered within the scope of the claims of this application.
