Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerostats, and in particular to an automatic exhaust device and method for recovering an aerostat after it has landed. Background Art

[0002] Aerostats generally refer to soft-structured aircraft that are lighter than air and rely on atmospheric buoyancy to rise. Aerostats are composed of airbags made of polymer composite materials and various equipment and payloads arranged on the airbags. The airbags are filled with buoyancy gases with a density lower than that of air. The density difference between the gas inside and outside the airbags provides buoyancy for the aerostat, thereby completing the launch of the aerostat. After the air mission is completed, the formed aerostat needs to reach the ground for recovery and wait for subsequent missions. Generally, the aerostat is first exhausted through the exhaust valve in the air, and when it approaches the ground, it is exhausted by the exhaust unit. Since the material of the aerostat has a certain strength, manual extrusion is required to assist the exhaust during the exhaust process. If the internal gas is not removed cleanly during the extrusion process, the folded recovery volume of the aerostat will be too large and have a certain weight. At the same time, manual extrusion is prone to excessive drag and friction surface materials, which is not conducive to the storage and subsequent use of the aerostat, and reduces the material life of the aerostat.

[0003] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an automated exhaust device and a recovery method for an aerostat during recovery after the launch, so as to meet the needs of practical use. Summary of the invention

The exhaust assembly 1 is connected to the exhaust valve of the aerostat 5 from the lower part of the conveying assembly 2 through the hose to exhaust the internal gas.

[0060] S3: When the overall stacking height of the aerostat 5 does not exceed the vertical height of the baffle 24, the aerostat 5 is sent to the inside of the extrusion component 3 through the conveying component 2.
