[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to a stationary meteorological data collection system for a tethered airship, which adopts the following technical solutions: a stationary meteorological data collection system for a tethered airship, comprising a tethered airship, a tethering rope is provided downwardly on the tethered airship, a bracket is provided on the tethering rope, the bracket is a rotating body, and the center position of the bracket is equipped with upper and lower bearings, the tethering rope passes through the two bearings and is limitedly assembled with the bracket at the lower part, the upper edge of the bracket has an annular guide rail, and the annular guide rail is equipped with an active roller, the active roller is driven by a motor to rotate and move on the annular guide rail, the motor moves with the active roller, and a meteorological device is fixed at the center position of the bracket.

[0005] There is also a counterweight that moves with the active roller.

[0006] The annular guide rail is also equipped with a driven roller that moves together with the driving roller. The driving roller and the driven roller are respectively located on both sides of the annular guide rail and jointly press the annular guide rail. The driven roller cooperates with the driving roller and rotates and moves on the annular guide rail under the drive of the driving roller. The counterweight is fixedly arranged on the driven roller.

[0007] The bracket is provided with two upper and lower mounting plates at the center position, and the upper and lower bearings are respectively assembled on the two mounting plates.

[0009] The annular guide rail is arranged on the annular edge of the bracket.

[0010] The annular edge is connected to the mounting plate located above through spokes.

[0011] The mounting plate at the bottom is connected with each spoke through arc-shaped ribs, and each arc-shaped rib bulges outward.

[0012] The annular guide rail is arranged on the upper side of the annular edge.

[0013] The bracket of the present invention is suspended on the tethered airship by a tethering rope, and the tethering rope passes through two bearings arranged on the bracket, so that the bracket can rotate without being interfered by the tethering rope, and an active roller and a motor that can move along the annular guide rail are provided on the annular guide rail on the upper edge of the bracket, and the meteorological equipment is located at the center of the bracket, and the movement of the active roller and the motor can make the bracket drive the meteorological equipment to freely rotate to a specified angle according to demand without rotating the tethered airship.

[0015] At the same time, the motor and the active roller are on the annular guide rail, and the meteorological equipment is at the center of the bracket. The distance between the two is far and will not interfere with the data collection of the meteorological equipment.

[0016] The present invention also has a counterweight that moves together with the driving roller, which can ensure that the bracket rotates under the action of the counterweight, the driving wheel and the gravity of the motor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

There is an annular guide rail 5 at the upper edge of the bracket 2, and an active roller 6 is arranged on the annular guide rail 5. The active roller 6 is driven by a motor to rotate and move on the annular guide rail 5. The specific assembly method is the existing technology. This roller self-rotation and movement on the annular guide rail is a conventional mechanism. The motor (not shown in the figure) moves together with the active roller 6. Specifically, the motor is fixed on the active roller 6. A meteorological device 13 is fixed at the center of the bracket 2.

[0020] Specifically, there is also a counterweight 7 that moves with the driving roller 6. The counterweight 7 is fixed on the driven roller 8, and the driven roller 8 is assembled on the annular guide rail 5 in the same way as the driving roller 6, and moves with the driving roller 6, and the driven roller 8 is in transmission cooperation with the driving roller 6 and rotates and moves on the annular guide rail 5 under the drive of the driving roller 6.

[0021] The annular guide rail is arranged on the upper side of the annular edge. The annular guide rail is also equipped with a driven roller that moves together with the driving roller. The driving roller and the driven roller are respectively located on both sides of the annular guide rail to jointly press the annular guide rail. The driven roller cooperates with the driving roller and rotates and moves on the annular guide rail under the drive of the driving roller. The counterweight is fixedly arranged on the driven roller.

[0022] Specifically, the bracket 2 is provided with an upper and lower mounting plates 9 at the center, and the upper and lower bearings 3 are respectively assembled in the mounting through holes of the two mounting plates 9 .

[0024] Specifically, the annular edge 10 is connected to the mounting plate 9 located above through spokes 11 .

[0025] Specifically, the mounting plate 9 at the bottom is connected to each spoke 11 through arcuate ribs 12, and each arcuate rib 12 bulges outward.

[0026] The specific meteorological device 13 is directly arranged on the mounting plate 9 located above, and the meteorological device 13 is fixed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 9 located above.
