[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] At present, the ground-based auxiliary release equipment for high-altitude balloons mainly includes two types: tethered balloon auxiliary mooring system and large balloon auxiliary release system with ton-level load. The tethered balloon auxiliary mooring system includes a tethered cable reel, a motor, and an emergency braking device. However, the commonly used tethered balloon auxiliary mooring system weighs dozens of kilograms; the large balloon auxiliary release system with ton-level load includes large lifting equipment, large ball pressing reel, etc., with complex structure and high manufacturing cost; and the auxiliary release system is very complex and requires teamwork, resulting in a complicated release operation process, long time consumption, and lack of flexibility.
[0041] Based on the above problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device includes an auxiliary cloth 100 and at least two fasteners 400, and at least two of the fasteners 400 are arranged at the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100. When the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half, a cloth bag 120 is formed, and at least two of the fasteners 400 are close to each other to form a connecting head; the connecting head is used to connect the high-altitude balloon 200; the cloth bag 120 is used to hold the inflation device 300 for inflating the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0042] When in use, first unfold the auxiliary cloth 100 and lay it flat on a horizontal surface. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, at least two fasteners 400 are provided at the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100. The auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half, and the multiple fasteners 400 provided on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other to form a connector, and the connector is connected to the auxiliary cloth 100. At this time, the auxiliary cloth 100 is stretched upward and gradually straightened due to the increase in the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon 200, and the auxiliary cloth 100 is enclosed to form a hollow cloth bag 120, and the cloth bag 120 can be used to place the inflation device 300 for inflating the high-altitude balloon 200. In this way, this embodiment constrains the high-altitude balloon 200 during the inflation process by providing the auxiliary cloth 100 and the fasteners 400 to prevent it from accidentally flying away, thereby simplifying the operation process of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device. At the same time, it also provides safety protection for the operator and ensures the safety of the inflation and release process of the high-altitude balloon.
[0043] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary release device disclosed in this embodiment includes an auxiliary cloth 100 and a plurality of fasteners 400, which can assist in the release of high-altitude balloons. For example, during the release of high-altitude balloons, the staff can fold the auxiliary cloth 100 in half so that the plurality of fasteners 400 on the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other and form a connector, which is connected to the high-altitude balloon 200. As the high-altitude balloon 200 gradually fills up, its buoyancy also increases. In this process, the auxiliary cloth 100 is gradually straightened with the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon 200. At this time, the auxiliary cloth 100 forms a hollow cloth bag 120, which can be used to place an inflatable device or other anchor for inflating the high-altitude balloon.
[0044] It can be seen that the present embodiment connects and fixes the auxiliary cloth 100 and the high-altitude balloon 200 by the fastener 400, effectively replacing the traditional auxiliary distribution device or the method of manually holding the high-altitude balloon, which not only simplifies the operation process of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary distribution device and reduces the distribution cost of the high-altitude balloon, but also provides more reliable safety protection for the distribution personnel. In addition, the softness of the auxiliary cloth 100 makes it easy to roll up and fold, and easy to carry, further improving the convenience of using the high-altitude balloon auxiliary device, quickly deploying the device in the preparation stage or the distribution process of the high-altitude balloon, and ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the high-altitude balloon distribution operation process.
[0045] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary cloth 100 can be made of Oxford cloth. Oxford cloth is not only thick and soft, easy to roll up and fold, and convenient to carry, but also has high tensile strength and is not easy to break. In addition, the auxiliary cloth 100 can be folded into any shape or cut into any polygon according to actual needs.
[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the auxiliary cloth 100 is a polygon, and at least two fasteners 400 are disposed at the corners of the polygonal auxiliary cloth.
[0047] In actual use, multiple fasteners 400 are set at the corner edges of the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100, and the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half along the diagonal. At this time, the fasteners 400 set on the corners of the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other to form a connecting head, and the connecting head is connected to the high-altitude balloon 200. The setting of multiple fasteners 400 makes the force distribution of the auxiliary cloth 100 more uniform.
[0048] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the release personnel first fold the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 in half to form a cloth bag 120. At this time, the multiple fasteners 400 set on the edge corners of the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other; then the multiple fasteners 400 are connected to the high-altitude balloon, so that the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 and the high-altitude balloon are tightly connected together. In this way, not only the force points of the auxiliary cloth 100 are increased, but also the force distribution of the auxiliary cloth 100 is more uniform, ensuring that the fasteners 400 and the auxiliary cloth 100 effectively pull the high-altitude balloon.
[0049] In this example, the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 is further provided with a support belt 110; the support belt 110 is arranged on the auxiliary cloth 100 in a cross shape, a cross shape or other shapes. When the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half to form a cloth bag 120, the support belt 110 fits tightly with the inflatable device placed in the cloth bag 120 to improve the stability of the inflatable device 300 placed in the cloth bag 120, and provide a more stable anchor point for the high-altitude balloon inflation process.
[0050] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff folds the auxiliary cloth 100 in half to form a cloth bag 120. When the inflatable device 300 is placed inside the cloth bag 120, the support bar 110 provided on the auxiliary cloth 100 is in close contact with the bottle body of the inflatable device 300. As the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon gradually increases, the inflatable device 300 is stabilized on the horizontal plane due to the friction of the support bar and the pulling force of the auxiliary cloth 100.
[0051] It can be seen that this embodiment provides support strips 110 on the polygonal auxiliary cloth 100 and multiple fasteners 400 on the diagonals of the auxiliary cloth 100 to improve the overall stability of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device, ensure that it can firmly hold the high-altitude balloon in the inflation process and prevent it from accidentally flying away.
[0052] In addition, in this embodiment, the support belt is further provided with a protrusion (not shown in the drawings) to increase the friction between the auxiliary cloth 100 and the inflatable device 300 , and further improve the stability of the inflatable device 300 in the cloth pocket 120 .
[0053] In another embodiment of the present invention, magnetic members (not shown in the drawings) are provided at both ends of at least two fasteners 400; when the magnetic members are magnetically attracted to each other, the auxiliary cloth 100 is connected to the high-altitude balloon.
[0054] During actual use, when the fastener 400 is closed, the two ends of the fastener 400 are attracted to each other by magnetic force. At this time, the auxiliary cloth 100 is tightly connected to the high-altitude balloon, thereby ensuring that multiple fasteners 400 effectively pull the high-altitude balloon to prevent it from accidentally flying away.
[0055] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon distribution process, the distribution personnel fix one end of the plurality of fasteners 400 to the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100, and then fold the auxiliary cloth 100 in half; then, the other end of the plurality of fasteners 400 is connected to the high-altitude balloon, at which time, the two ends of the plurality of fasteners 400 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby completing the connection between the auxiliary cloth 100 and the high-altitude balloon. By providing a magnetic part, the high-altitude balloon during the inflation process can be more effectively pulled, providing a strong support effect, and firmly pulling the high-altitude balloon.
[0056] In this embodiment, washers (not shown in the drawings) are also provided at both ends of the fastener 400. In actual use, washers are provided on the contact surface between the fastener 400 and the handle of the high-altitude balloon. When the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon continues to increase, the washers can increase the friction between the fastener 400 and the auxiliary cloth 100 and the high-altitude balloon 200, ensuring that the high-altitude balloon remains stable when subjected to wind or other external forces. At the same time, the washers can further protect the auxiliary cloth 100 and the handle of the high-altitude balloon to avoid damage caused by clamping. Prevent the fastener from causing damage to the auxiliary cloth and the high-altitude balloon under the action of increasing tension.
[0057] Specifically, when releasing the high-altitude balloon, the staff folds the auxiliary cloth 100 in half to form a cloth bag 120, and then connects multiple fasteners 400 to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200; when the two ends of the multiple fasteners 400 are closed, the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon continues to increase, and the tension on the auxiliary cloth and the fasteners 400 also increases. At this time, the gasket arranged on the contact surface between the fastener 400 and the handle of the high-altitude balloon can further increase the friction between the fastener 400 and the handle of the high-altitude balloon, effectively pulling the high-altitude balloon, and also protecting the handle to avoid damage to the handle of the high-altitude balloon due to the increasing tension.
[0058] In another embodiment of the present invention, the length of the clamping parts of the multiple fasteners 400 is greater than or equal to 2 / 3 of the length of the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200, so as to further enhance the friction between the fasteners 400 and the handle 210, and prevent the fasteners 400 from slipping out of the handle 210 due to the increase in the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary cloth 100 can effectively pull the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0059] In actual settings, multiple fasteners 400 are provided with adjustment arms (not shown in the drawings) to adjust the width or length of the fasteners 400 to adapt to the sizes of different high-altitude balloon handles, ensuring that the fasteners 400 can tightly clamp the handles of the high-altitude balloons.
[0060] Specifically, during the release of the high-altitude balloon, the staff first adjusts the plurality of fasteners 400 to a suitable width and length according to the handle of the high-altitude balloon. When the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half to form a cloth bag, the plurality of fasteners 400 are close to each other and connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200, ensuring that the fasteners 400 can effectively pull the high-altitude balloon to prevent it from accidentally flying away during the inflation process.
[0061] In this embodiment, one end of the fastener 400 can be sewn on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100, and the other end is connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. When the two ends of the fastener 400 are closed, the auxiliary cloth 100 is connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. In this way, it can be ensured that the fastener 400 firmly connects the auxiliary cloth 100 and the handle 210, thereby effectively pulling the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0062] In another embodiment of the present invention, the fastener 400 may be configured as a toothed fixing clip, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the toothed fixing clip is connected to the auxiliary cloth 100, and the other end is provided with a zigzag tooth pattern for clamping the handle of the high-altitude balloon 200, which can enhance its fixing ability and ensure the stability of the connection. In another embodiment, both ends of the toothed fixing clip are provided with a zigzag tooth pattern.
[0063] When in use, first connect one end of the toothed fixing clip to the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100, and then the other end is used for the ball handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200; when the two ends of the toothed fixing clip are closed, the toothed fixing clip connects the auxiliary cloth 100 and the high-altitude balloon 200 together, and at this time, the auxiliary cloth 100 also surrounds to form a cloth pocket 120.
[0064] Specifically, during the release of the high-altitude balloon 200, the staff folds the edge 120 of the auxiliary cloth 100 in half, and then connects the two ends of the toothed fixing clip to the auxiliary cloth 100 and the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200 respectively. When the two ends of the toothed fixing clip are closed, friction is generated between the sawtooth-shaped protrusions on the toothed fixing clip and the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200 and the auxiliary cloth 100. Under the action of the friction, the auxiliary cloth 100 can firmly pull the high-altitude balloon 200, and there is no need to manually hold the high-altitude balloon, thereby ensuring the safety of the staff.
[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, at least two holes (not shown in the drawings) are provided on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100; in actual use, one end of the fastener 400 is first passed through the hole, and then the other end of the fastener 400 is connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. When the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half, the two ends of the fastener 400 are closed, and the auxiliary cloth 100 is also enclosed to form a cloth pocket 120.
[0066] Specifically, first, a plurality of holes are punched on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100, and metal rings are embedded around the holes. During the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff inserts one end of the fastener through the hole embedded with the metal ring, and inserts the other end into the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. When the two ends of the fastener 400 are closed, the auxiliary cloth 100 is connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0067] The auxiliary cloth 100 needs to bear a large pulling force when pulling the inflated high-altitude balloon 200. By drilling holes at the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100 and embedding metal rings around the holes, the supporting strength of the auxiliary cloth 100 can be increased, ensuring that the auxiliary cloth 100 can firmly pull the high-altitude balloon 200 to prevent it from accidentally flying away during the inflation process, and also improving the durability of the auxiliary cloth 100. In addition, embedding the metal ring with higher hardness around the hole can disperse the pressure applied by the fastener 121B on the auxiliary cloth 100, effectively reducing the wear of the fastener 400 on the auxiliary cloth 100, thereby protecting the auxiliary cloth 100 from damage and extending its service life.
[0068] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a high-altitude balloon 200, an inflating device 300 and any one of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release devices described in the above embodiments. When in use, the inflating device 300 is used as an anchor for the high-altitude balloon and is placed in the cloth bag 120. During the gradual expansion of the high-altitude balloon, the auxiliary cloth 100 generates a downward pulling force on the high-altitude balloon 200, effectively pulling the high-altitude balloon 200 to prevent it from accidentally flying away.
[0069] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff first unfolds the auxiliary cloth 100. When the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half, the multiple fasteners 400 arranged on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other, and the auxiliary cloth 100 is surrounded to form a cloth bag 120, and the inflatable device 300 is placed in the cloth bag 120; then, the multiple fasteners 400 are connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. During the high-altitude balloon inflation process, the auxiliary cloth 100 generates a downward pulling force on the high-altitude balloon 200 due to the gravity of the inflatable device 300, thereby effectively pulling and holding the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0070] It can be seen that this embodiment uses the inflatable device 300 as an anchor, and is used in conjunction with the auxiliary cloth 100 and the fastener 400 to replace the traditional high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system, simplify the operation process of high-altitude balloon auxiliary release, and provide a quick and convenient high-altitude balloon release method, while reducing costs and improving the safety and efficiency of high-altitude balloon release operations.
[0071] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inflation device 300 includes an inflation bottle 310 and an inflation tube 320, and the inflation bottle 310 is also provided with an air valve 311; in actual use, first, the inflation bottle 310 is placed in the cloth bag 120 formed by folding the auxiliary cloth 100; then one end of the inflation tube 320 is connected to the air valve 311, and the other end is connected to the high-altitude balloon 200; the inflation tube 320 is used to connect the inflation bottle 310 and the high-altitude balloon 200 to ensure that the gas can smoothly enter the high-altitude balloon 200 from the inflation bottle 310.
[0072] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff first inserts one end of the inflation tube 320 into the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200, and connects the other end to the air valve 311 of the inflation bottle 310; then, the air valve 311 is activated, and at this time, the gas in the inflation bottle 310 enters the high-altitude balloon 200 through the inflation tube 320. As the gas in the high-altitude balloon 200 increases, it gradually expands, and its buoyancy also increases. In this process, the auxiliary cloth 100 and the inflation device 300 work together to pull the high-altitude balloon 200 to prevent it from accidentally flying away due to excessive buoyancy.
[0073] It can be seen that this embodiment uses the inflatable device 300 as an anchor and cooperates with the auxiliary cloth 100 to effectively pull the high-altitude balloon 200, so that there is no need to manually pinch the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200, which provides safety protection for the staff and avoids the accidental release of the high-altitude balloon 200 due to improper operation of the staff. In addition, the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system of this embodiment is easy to operate, and the auxiliary cloth 100 can be folded, unfolded, or carried at any time, which significantly improves the convenience of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system, making the release process of the high-altitude balloon more efficient and safe, and the cost is also lower.
[0074] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the inflatable bottle 310 can be a helium bottle. In actual use, the helium bottle is a steel bottle, and the weight of the empty bottle is not less than 30 kg. When the bottle is filled with gas, the overall weight of the helium bottle will increase further, which enables it to serve as a stable anchor point. By setting up a helium bottle and using it in conjunction with the auxiliary cloth 100, the high-altitude balloon 200 can be effectively pulled and stabilized to prevent the high-altitude balloon 200 from accidentally drifting away during the inflation process. Even if the gas in the bottle has been used up, the weight of the empty helium bottle can still provide sufficient pulling force to ensure that the high-altitude balloon can still be safely fixed before being released.
[0075] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a one-way valve 321 is also provided at one end of the inflation tube 320 connected to the high-altitude balloon 200 to ensure that the gas in the inflation bottle 310 can enter the high-altitude balloon 200 more effectively.
[0076] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff inserts the end of the inflation tube 320 with the one-way valve 321 into the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. During the inflation process, the one-way valve 321 can not only effectively prevent gas leakage and maintain inflation efficiency, but also adjust the inflation volume of the high-altitude balloon 200 according to actual release requirements, so that the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system can flexibly adapt to different release requirements.
[0077] In another embodiment of the present invention, the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release system described in any of the above embodiments further includes a load tether (not shown in the drawings) and a load cabin (not shown in the drawings); one end of the load tether is connected to the handle of the high-altitude balloon 200, and the other end is connected to the load cabin, which can be used to carry equipment. When in use, the load cabin carries the required equipment and is released together with the high-altitude balloon 200 through the pulling action of the load tether.
[0078] Specifically, during the high-altitude balloon release process, the staff first fixes one end of the load tether to the load cabin; then, the other end of the load tether is fastened to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. In this way, when the high-altitude balloon 200 is released, the equipment carried in the load cabin also rises into the air, thus achieving high-altitude equipment loading. Through the combination of the load tether and the load cabin, various equipment can be loaded onto the high-altitude balloon according to actual needs to carry out data collection, observation or other scientific research activities.
[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, one end of the load tether is connected to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200 , and while connected, the handle 210 is wrapped around and tied tightly to prevent gas from escaping from the high-altitude balloon 200 .
[0080] Specifically, during the release of the high-altitude balloon, the staff first fixes one end of the load tether to the load cabin, and then wraps the other end of the load tether around the handle 210 and ties it tightly. To further ensure the tightness of the handle 210, the staff will fold the handle 210 in half, wrap the other end of the load tether around the folded handle 210 again and tie it tightly, thereby effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the stability of the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0081] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a high-altitude balloon auxiliary release method, such as Figure 5 As shown, including:
[0082] S100, laying the auxiliary cloth 100 flat, and moving the inflatable device 300 onto the auxiliary cloth 100;
[0083] S200, folding the auxiliary cloth 100 in half to form a connecting head and a cloth bag 120, wherein the inflatable device 300 is located inside the cloth bag 120;
[0084] S300, installing the high-altitude balloon 200 on the connecting head and docking the inflating device 300;
[0085] S400, starting the inflation device 300 and monitoring the air pressure in the high-altitude balloon 200;
[0086] S500: If the predetermined air pressure value is reached in the high-altitude balloon 200, the inflation device 300 is closed, the high-altitude balloon 200 is tied up, and the connector is removed.
[0087] When in use, first, lay the auxiliary cloth 100 flat, and move the inflatable device 300 onto the auxiliary cloth 100; then, fold the auxiliary cloth 100 in half to form a connector and a cloth bag 120, and at this time, the inflatable device 300 is located in the cloth bag 120. When the inflatable device 300 is started, the high-altitude balloon 200 gradually expands and the buoyancy increases; the air pressure in the high-altitude balloon 200 is continuously monitored to prevent the air pressure in the high-altitude balloon 200 from being insufficient, resulting in the high-altitude balloon being unable to reach the expected altitude, affecting its scientific experiments or observation tasks at high altitudes; or the air pressure in the high-altitude balloon 200 is excessive, the buoyancy of the balloon will be too large, and the high-altitude balloon 200 will rise too fast, which may exceed the bearing capacity of the balloon material and cause the balloon to rupture.
[0088] Specifically, when operating the high-altitude balloon release, the staff moves the inflatable device 300 onto the auxiliary cloth 100; when the auxiliary cloth 100 is folded in half, the auxiliary cloth forms a cloth bag 120, and at this time, the inflatable device 300 as an anchor is placed in the cloth bag 120; then, the fastener 400 set on the auxiliary cloth 100 is connected to the high-altitude balloon 200. In the process of increasing the buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon, the auxiliary cloth 100 and the inflatable device 300 cooperate with each other to pull the high-altitude balloon 200 to prevent the high-altitude balloon 200 from accidentally flying away during the inflation process.
[0089] When the air pressure in the high-altitude balloon reaches a predetermined value, the staff turns off the inflation device 300, and first wraps a cable tie around the ball handle 210 to tighten it, then folds the ball handle 210 in half and wraps it around the cable tie to tighten it, so as to ensure that the ball handle 210 is fastened to prevent gas leakage; finally, the plurality of fasteners 400 are removed from the high-altitude balloon, so that the auxiliary cloth 100 is separated from the high-altitude balloon 200. At this time, the high-altitude balloon 200 is no longer pulled by the auxiliary cloth 100, and the release can be completed.
[0090] It can be seen that this embodiment uses the weight of the inflation device 300 and the tension of the auxiliary cloth 100 to ensure the stability of the high-altitude balloon 200 during the inflation process, thereby avoiding the risk of the high-altitude balloon 200 accidentally flying away due to excessive buoyancy. The implementation of the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release method does not require complex equipment or cumbersome operating steps, making the release of high-altitude balloons faster and more efficient, simplifying the release process, and providing a high-altitude balloon release solution that is easy to operate, highly safe, and low-cost.
[0091] In another embodiment of the present invention, specifically, step S100 specifically includes:
[0092] S101, fold the auxiliary cloth 100 in half, at which time, the multiple fasteners 400 arranged on the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other to form a connector, and the auxiliary cloth 100 is surrounded to form a hollow cloth bag 120, and the cloth bag 120 is used to hold the inflation device 300 for inflating the high-altitude balloon 200.
[0093] When in use, the multiple fasteners 400 provided on the auxiliary cloth 100 are close to each other to form a connection head, and the auxiliary cloth 100 is surrounded to form a cloth bag 120. When the inflation device 300 is started, the high-altitude balloon 200 gradually expands and the buoyancy increases. At this time, the multiple fasteners 400 on the auxiliary cloth 100 provide multiple force points to ensure that the balloon can be firmly pulled to prevent it from accidentally flying away during the inflation process.
[0094] Specifically, when the staff is operating the high-altitude balloon release, the staff connects the multiple fasteners 400 set on the edge of the auxiliary cloth 100 to the handle 210 of the high-altitude balloon 200. During the process of increasing buoyancy of the high-altitude balloon, the multiple fasteners 400 can more evenly disperse the tension of the high-altitude balloon, reduce the stress concentration of a single connection point, and thus reduce the risk of damage caused by local overload of the auxiliary cloth 100. At the same time, the multiple fasteners 400 can also increase the overall stability of the auxiliary cloth 100, making the connection more secure.
[0095] In summary, the present invention provides a high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device, release system and release method, wherein the high-altitude balloon auxiliary release device includes: an auxiliary cloth and at least two fasteners; at least two fasteners are arranged on the edge of the auxiliary cloth; wherein, when the auxiliary cloth is folded in half, a cloth bag is formed, and at least two fasteners are close to each other and combined into a connecting head; the connecting head is used to connect the high-altitude balloon; the cloth bag is used to hold the inflation device for inflating the high-altitude balloon. The present application uses the auxiliary cloth to pull and restrain the high-altitude balloon during the release process, which can effectively fix the high-altitude balloon during the inflation release stage, without the need for staff to hold the high-altitude balloon, simplifying the release operation process and improving the safety of the release process.
