Description

[0002] The aerostat generally refers to a soft structure aircraft with a specific gravity lighter than air and relying on atmospheric buoyancy to ascend. The aerostat is composed of a gas bag made of a high polymer composite material and various devices and effective loads arranged on the gas bag. The aerostat is filled with a lifting gas with a density smaller than air, and the density difference between the gas inside and outside the gas bag provides the buoyancy of the aerostat, thereby completing the ascension of the aerostat. After the aerostat is shaped, it needs to reach the ground for recovery after completing the task in the air, and waits for subsequent use. Generally, the aerostat first performs exhaust through an exhaust valve in the air, and then uses an air extractor to perform exhaust when approaching the ground. Since the material of the aerostat has a certain strength, manual extrusion is required to assist in exhaust during the exhaust process. If the internal gas is not completely removed during the extrusion process, the aerostat will have a large folding recovery volume and a certain weight.

[0056] Working Principle: Combining an exhaust assembly 1, a conveyor assembly 2, a compression assembly 3, and an auxiliary storage assembly 4, an aerostat 5 that lands on the conveyor assembly 2 first has its internal gas extracted by the exhaust assembly 1. The aerostat 5 is then conveyed by the conveyor assembly 2 to the compression assembly 3, where it is compressed to assist in exhaust. The conveyor assembly 2 then delivers the aerostat 5 to the auxiliary storage assembly 4, where it undergoes multiple compressions to reduce its size for easy folding and storage. The entire device automates the exhaust, compression, and storage processes for landing and recovering aerostats 5, reducing manual labor and improving efficiency. The exhaust assembly 1 and compression assembly 3 work together to continue extracting air during the compression process, increasing the exhaust rate of the aerostat 5 and allowing internal gas to be rapidly discharged.

[0059] S2: When the aerostat 5 lands on the conveyor assembly 2 and is supported by the baffle 24, the hose is connected to the exhaust valve of 5 to exhaust the air. The exhaust assembly 1 is connected to the exhaust valve of the aerostat 5 from the bottom of the conveyor assembly 2 through the hose to exhaust the internal gas.

[0060] S3: When the overall accumulation height of the floaters 5 does not exceed the vertical height of the baffle 24, the floaters 5 are sent to the inside of the extrusion assembly 3 by the conveying assembly 2, the extrusion assembly 3 stores an exhaust extrusion plate 33 made of rubber, which is driven to swing by the first electric telescopic rod 32, and the floaters 5 are extruded once for each swing, the movement rate is uniform, the extrusion frequency can be adjusted according to the working requirements, which is helpful to improve the exhaust rate of the floaters 5, and the air extraction assembly 1 still extracts air through the hose connected to the exhaust valve of the floater 5 during the extrusion process;

[0061] S4: After the exhaust of the floaters 5 is completed, the hose of the air extraction assembly 1 is separated from the exhaust valve, the floaters 5 are sent to the auxiliary storage assembly 4 by the conveying assembly 2, the auxiliary storage assembly 4 stores a vertical extrusion plate 44 made of rubber from top to bottom, which is driven to move up and down by the second electric telescopic rod 43, and the floaters 5 are quickly extruded for 15-20 times to reduce the shape, the box door 45 is opened to take out the floaters 5, manual folding is performed, and the floaters 5 are packed and stored in the warehouse.
