[0002] A tethered balloon usually consists of three major parts: a ground anchoring part, a spherical part, and a tethering cable part. The ground anchoring part of a mobile tethered balloon is usually integrated on a transport unit, on which tethering cable retraction and release and power supply and distribution equipment are integrated, so as to realize the ground anchoring, cable retraction and release, and spherical power supply functions of the tethered balloon. The spherical part and the balloon-borne equipment are usually on other transport units. Before the tethered balloon is erected, the spherical part needs to be hoisted down from the transport unit, and then the balloon body is unfolded, inflated, and other erection steps are performed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bladder storage box assembly. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0021] A small mobile tethered balloon bladder storage device comprises a lifting mechanism 4, a bladder storage box assembly 100, a spherical part 200 of the tethered balloon, an air extraction device, a guide wheel 6, a slewing bearing 8, a rotating platform 9, and a transport unit 10.

[0022] The capsule storage box assembly 100 includes a cover plate 101 , a reel 108 , a crank 109 , a capsule storage box 106 , a rack 102 , a slide rail 104 , a locking mechanism 103 , and a gear 105 .

[0023] The mooring rod 3 is connected to the bladder storage box assembly 100 through the wire rope 7, so as to open the cover 101 of the bladder storage box assembly 100, and at the same time, the spherical part 200 is dragged out of the bladder storage box assembly 100 by lifting the mooring rod 3, and then the spherical part 200 is gradually inflated and unfolded by the inflation device. To prevent the spherical part 200 from becoming unstable during the inflation process, the rope 201 on the ball of the spherical part 200 is connected to the reel 108 in the bladder storage box assembly 100, so as to realize three-point mooring during the inflation process of the spherical part 200 and protect the spherical part 200, and then the whole erection process can be completed. When the spherical part 200 is withdrawn, air is pumped out through the air pumping device, and the mooring rod 3 is slowly tilted down. The mooring rod 3 can stay at any position. As the buoyancy of the spherical part 200 decreases, the rope on the spherical part 200 is connected to the reel 108 in the bladder storage box assembly 100, and the spherical part 200 is gradually received into the bladder storage box 106 through the crank handle 109 on the reel 108. At the same time, as the mooring rod 3 is tilted down, the wire rope 7 gradually relaxes, and the cover plate 101 of the bladder storage box assembly 100 is closed and locked by utilizing its own weight, thereby realizing the withdrawal and storage protection of the spherical part 200.

[0024] The mooring rod 3 is an important component for the tethered balloon when it is anchored on the ground. The bottom of the mooring rod 3 is connected to the rotating platform 9, and the rotating platform 9 is connected to the transport unit 10 through a slewing bearing 8. A simple head cone lock 1 is installed on the top of the mooring rod 3, and the head cone of the spherical part 200 is connected to the head cone lock 1 on the mooring rod 3. When anchored on the ground, the tethered balloon is anchored on the ground through the mooring rod 3 and other auxiliary mechanisms and the transport unit 10. When in the transport state, the spherical part 200 is always locked by the head cone lock 1, and the head cone lock 1 and the spherical part 200 are stored together in the balloon storage box 106.

[0025] The guide wheel 6 is used for guiding. After the rack 102 on the balloon storage box 106 with an opening on the top surface is connected by the wire rope 7, it is connected to the mooring rod 3 through the guide wheel 6. When the balloon needs to be deployed, the lifting mechanism 4 drives the mooring rod 3 to lift. Since the rack 102 is connected to the mooring rod 3 after being guided by the wire rope 7 through the guide wheel 6, when the mooring rod 3 is lifted, the rack 102 is dragged to slide on the slide rail.

[0026] The slide rail 104 is used to connect the capsule storage box and the rack 102. The lower part of the slide rail 104 is clamped with the side wall of the capsule storage box through a slot, and the two ends are positioned through a number of bolt holes. Rollers are arranged at the bottom of the rack 102 for the forward and backward movement of the rack 102 on the slide rail. A gear mounting seat is installed at the end of the slide rail 104 for the installation of the gear 105.

[0027] The cover plate 101 is used for automatically opening and closing the capsule storage box 106, and one end of the cover plate 101 is connected to the gear 105. The gear 105 and the cover plate 101 are connected by bolts, and the other end of the cover plate 101 is connected to the side wall of the capsule storage box assembly 100 through a locking mechanism 103 to ensure fixation during transportation.

[0028] The balloon storage box 106 is used to store the balloon balloon. To protect the balloon from damage in the storage box, a protective pad is laid throughout the interior of the storage box to prevent the balloon from being worn.

[0029] The reel 108 is used to protect the spherical part during the erection process of the spherical part and to assist in receiving the spherical part into the capsule storage box during the withdrawal process.

[0030] When the spherical part 200 is erected and inflated from the transport state, the mooring rod 3 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 4, dragging the rack 102 to slide on the slide rail 104. The movement of the rack 102 causes the gear 105 matched therewith to rotate, so that the cover is gradually opened with the rotation of the gear 105 until the cover 101 is opened to an angle of about 80 degrees with the horizontal plane. At the same time, the spherical part 200 is also dragged out of the balloon storage box 106 by the mooring rod 3, and the spherical part 200 is inflated by the inflation device until the balloon is completely erected.

[0031] When the spherical part is deflated, the rope 201 on the ball is connected to the reel 108 in the bladder storage box assembly 100. As the air is deflated, the buoyancy decreases, and the spherical part 200 is gradually received into the bladder storage box through the crank of the reel 108. At the same time, as the mooring rod 3 falls down, the wire rope 7 gradually relaxes, the gear 105 and the rack 102 are always in a meshing state, and under the action of the gravity of the cover, the rack 102 slides, the cover is gradually closed, and the sphere is transferred to a transportation and storage state.

[0032] In a small tethered balloon, the spherical part 200 and the anchoring part can be integrated into a mobile transport unit 10. When the tethered balloon is deployed, the mooring rod 3 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 4 and guided by the guide wheel 6, and the steel wire rope 7 drags the rack 102 to slide, thereby opening the cover on the balloon storage box through the gear 105. At the same time, the spherical part 200 is lifted by the mooring rod 4 and dragged out of the balloon storage box 106. Then, the spherical part 200 is gradually inflated and deployed through the inflation device. In order to ensure that the spherical part 200 is not unstable during the inflation process, the ball ropes 201 on both sides of the spherical part 200 are connected to the two reels 108 installed on the side walls of the balloon storage box assembly 100. The reels 108 can The locking mechanism 110 of the reel is used to lock or unlock, so as to realize three-point mooring during the inflation process of the spherical part 200, protect the spherical part 200, and thus realize rapid deployment and inflation of the spherical part 200. When the spherical part 200 is withdrawn, as the air is pumped out, the ropes 201 on both sides of the spherical part 200 are connected to the reel 108 in the capsule storage box assembly 100. After the air is pumped out, the buoyancy decreases, and the spherical part 200 is gradually received into the capsule storage box by rotating the crank 109 on the reel 108. As the mooring rod 4 gradually falls down, the capsule storage box 106 is slowly closed by the self-gravity of the cover plate 101, and the tethered balloon is quickly transferred to the transportation transition state. The schematic diagram of the deployment of the spherical part is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0033] When the tethered balloon is deployed, the cover locking mechanism 103 (a hook can be used) on the balloon storage box assembly 100 is opened, and the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the inverted tethering rod 3. At the same time, the wire rope 7, through the guide wheel 6, drags the rack 102 through the wire hanging point 101 on the balloon storage box assembly 100. The rack 102 moves on the slide rail 104, and the gear 105 meshing with it rotates at the same time. Since the cover on the balloon storage box assembly 100 is connected to the gear 105, the cover As the gear 105 rotates, it opens to a certain angle, which is less than 90°. At the same time, the spherical part 200 is dragged out of the bladder storage box 106 as the mooring rod 3 rises, and then the spherical part 200 is inflated and unfolded by the inflation device. To prevent the sphere from becoming unstable during the inflation process, the rope 201 on the ball is connected to the two reels 108 installed on the side wall of the bladder storage box assembly 100, and the reels 108 can be locked by a locking mechanism 110 (a latch can be used).

[0034] When the spherical part 200 is withdrawn and the air is exhausted to a certain extent, the rope 201 of the spherical part is connected to the reel 108 in the capsule storage box assembly 100. As the air is exhausted, the buoyancy decreases, and the spherical part 200 is gradually received in the capsule storage box through the reel crank 109. The mooring rod 3 begins to slowly fall down to a certain angle through the lifting mechanism 4. As the wire rope 7 gradually relaxes, the gear 105 is driven to rotate under the self-gravity of the cover plate 101, and the cover plate is slowly closed. After the air is exhausted, the mooring rod 3 is completely fallen down, and one end of the head cone lock 1 of the mooring rod 3 falls into the wall groove 107 to fix the mooring rod 3 in the transport state. The head cone lock 1 and the spherical part 200 are completely stored in the capsule storage box 106, and the cover plate 101 is completely closed. The cover plate locking mechanism 103 locks the cover plate 101, and the moored balloon is turned into the transport state.

Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention.
