[0002] With the development of power grid construction, the number of overhead transmission line construction sites located in complex terrain and harsh environments is increasing. Currently, due to environmental protection and other constraints, conventional material transport equipment is unable to meet the requirements of mountainous areas. Helium balloons offer advantages such as long airborne time, large coverage area, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, making them suitable for material transport in mountainous environments with high environmental requirements and harsh terrain.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] A helium balloon transport control device for transporting materials in mountainous areas in an embodiment of the present invention includes a vertical lifting control device 1 fixed at a loading point, horizontal movement control devices 2 respectively fixed at several unloading points, a control terminal 4 fixed at the loading point, and a helium balloon 5 respectively fixedly connected to the vertical lifting control device 1 and several of the horizontal movement control devices 2 via a cable 6.

[0043] The control terminal 4 is respectively connected to the vertical lifting control device 1 and the plurality of horizontal movement control devices 2 for control.

[0044] The vertical lifting control device 1 pulls or releases the cable 6 to drive the helium balloon 5 to move in the vertical direction; the plurality of horizontal movement control devices 2 pull or release the cable 6 to drive the helium balloon 5 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0045] The present invention provides a helium balloon transport control device and method for transporting materials in mountainous areas. A control terminal controls a vertical lift control device and a horizontal movement control device to synchronously pull or deploy a cable, driving the helium balloon to transport materials in mountainous terrain with large elevation differences. The helium balloon is transported from a loading point at the bottom of the mountain to a mountaintop unloading point, completing mountain material transportation. The control terminal automatically controls the vertical and horizontal movement of the helium balloon based on monitoring data. When transporting materials toward one unloading point, the horizontal movement control devices at the remaining unloading points deploy cables horizontally to limit lateral displacement of the helium balloon caused by weather and geographical factors. The present invention can improve the automation level of mountain material transportation construction equipment, reduce the labor intensity of construction personnel, effectively control the transport device, reduce the impact of weather and geographical factors on the transport device, and prevent the helium balloon from losing control. The device of the present invention can automatically control the vertical and horizontal movement of the helium balloon, achieving material transportation from a loading point at the bottom of the mountain to a mountaintop unloading point in mountainous terrain with large elevation differences, thereby reducing damage to the mountainous environment.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a helium balloon transportation control device for mountain material transportation in an embodiment of the present invention takes three unloading points as an example, and mainly includes a vertical lifting control device 1, a horizontal movement control device 2 respectively fixed at the three unloading points, an auxiliary anchoring device 3, a control terminal 4, a helium balloon 5 and a cable 6.

[0047] The present invention adopts a vertical lifting control device 1 and a horizontal movement control device 2 fixed at three unloading points to connect with a helium balloon 5 through a cable 6 to realize the transportation control of materials in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0048] The control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 fixed on the loading point to extend the cable 6 in the vertical direction, so that the helium balloon 5 is displaced in the vertical direction.

[0049] When the helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the horizontal movement control device 2 to pull the rope 6 horizontally toward the unloading point. At the same time, the horizontal movement control devices 2 at the other two unloading points extend the rope 6 horizontally; the horizontal movement control devices 2 at the three unloading points work together to pull the helium balloon 5 to the material unloading point to complete the unloading operation.

[0050] Specifically, the vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 in the embodiment of the present invention are both winding systems; the winding system includes a motor, a transmission, a reel and a controller; the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the reel through the transmission, and the cable 6 is fixed on the reel, and the cable 6 is driven to be wound around the reel by the rotation of the reel, and the controller controls the start and stop and speed of the motor; the control terminal 4 is connected to the controller for communication.

[0051] It should be further explained that the transmission in the embodiment of the present invention can be a continuously variable transmission. The output shaft of the motor is in transmission connection with the input shaft of the continuously variable transmission, which in turn is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft of the drum. The transmission connection can be achieved using a conventional mechanical structure such as a coupling. One end of the cable 6 can be fixed to the drum by welding or other fixing methods. The cable 6 is wound around the drum, and the other end of the cable 6 is fixedly connected to the helium balloon 5.

[0052] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a tension sensor is fixed on the reel to measure the tension of the cable 6; the tension sensor is in communication connection with the controller.

[0053] It should be further explained that the tension sensor of the embodiment of the present invention can determine the fixed position according to the sensor type. For example, the bolt-type tension sensor can be connected in series to the rotating shaft or transmission system of the reel, and indirectly reflect the tension of the cable by measuring the tensile deformation of the shaft.

[0054] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a speed sensor is provided on the rotating shaft of the reel to measure the pulling speed of the helium balloon 5; the speed sensor is in communication connection with the controller.

[0055] It should be further explained that the speed sensor of the embodiment of the present invention can be installed at a position determined according to the type of sensor. The speed sensor can be an incremental encoder, an absolute encoder, or a photoelectric speed sensor.

[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a positioning device is fixed to the helium balloon 5 to measure the position coordinates of the helium balloon 5; the positioning device is in communication with the control terminal 4. The positioning device can be a cellular network positioning device, a GPS positioning device, or a Beidou positioning device, depending on the transportation distance in mountainous areas.

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a wind speed measuring instrument is fixed on the helium balloon 5 , and the wind speed measuring instrument measures the wind speed of the helium balloon 5 when transporting materials. The wind speed measuring instrument is in communication connection with the control terminal 4 .

[0058] The vertical lifting control device 1 is used to control the vertical retraction and extension of the helium balloon for transporting materials. It has the functions of start and stop, vertical traction / expansion, and stepless speed change. It can also be equipped with a real-time digital display module to display the control terminal 4 to dynamically monitor data such as traction, speed, wind speed, and position coordinates.

[0059] The horizontal movement control device 2 is used to control the horizontal retraction and deployment of the helium balloon used to transport materials. It has start-stop, horizontal traction / deployment, and infinitely variable speed functions. It can also be equipped with a real-time digital display module for displaying data such as traction force, speed, wind speed, and position coordinates dynamically monitored by the control terminal 4. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary anchoring device 3 is used to anchor and secure the helium balloon. The auxiliary anchoring device 3 can be an anchor rod, etc., which is used to secure the helium balloon 5 at the loading point. The loading point can be compacted using tools such as a roller or rammer, or surface-hardened with concrete to increase the stability of the anchor rod fixation.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal 4 is used to remotely and synchronously control the vertical control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2, and has spatial positioning, posture adjustment and emergency braking functions, and synchronously controls the vertical control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 to start, stop, pull, unfold, and adjust the operating speed, thereby realizing automated control of the helium balloon for transporting materials.

[0061] It should be further explained that in this embodiment of the present invention, the control terminal 4 may also be equipped with a display panel. This panel displays data such as the lift altitude, the hull attitude and pressure of the helium balloon 5, traction speed, traction force, wind speed, and position coordinates. This panel allows real-time control of the traction force and speed of the vertical lift control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 to adjust the position of the helium balloon for transporting materials. The hull attitude of the helium balloon 5 is measured using an inertial navigation system installed in the pod platform. Pressure measurements are typically made using two pressure differential flanges, one corresponding to the primary and secondary bladders of the helium balloon 5. The pressure is measured in real time via differential pressure tubes inserted into the measurement and control computer.

[0062] The present invention provides a helium balloon transportation control device and method for transporting materials in mountainous areas. By synchronously coordinating the traction and deployment of a cable through a vertical lifting control device and a horizontal movement control device, the helium balloon can be used to transport materials from a loading point at the bottom of the mountain to an unloading point at the top of the mountain in a mountainous terrain environment with a large elevation difference. The helium balloon can be automatically moved in the vertical and horizontal directions according to data such as traction speed, traction force, wind speed, and position coordinates, thereby improving the degree of automation of mountain material transportation construction equipment and reducing the labor intensity of construction personnel.

[0063] Specifically, the helium balloon transportation control device for mountain material transportation in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to control the material transportation helium balloon to transport mountain materials from a loading point at the bottom of the mountain to a unloading point at the top of the mountain. The specific process includes:

[0064] The locations of the loading point and multiple unloading points are determined based on the on-site topography of the mountainous terrain. A vertical lift control device 1 is installed at the cableway loading point, and horizontal movement control devices 2 are installed at each of the multiple unloading points. Auxiliary anchoring devices 3 are buried to anchor a helium balloon 5 to the loading point. Multiple cables 6 are connected to the helium balloon at one end and to the vertical lift control device 1 and multiple horizontal movement control devices 2 at the other end. The number of horizontal movement control devices 2 can be one or more; in actual implementation, the specific number and distribution of these devices will be determined by the mountainous environment and weather conditions.

[0065] A control terminal 4 is arranged at the cableway loading point. The control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 to extend the cable 6 in the vertical direction. The vertical displacement is controlled by the vertical traction force and traction speed to transport the material transport helium balloon 5 to the top of the loading point. When the material transport helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls one or more horizontal movement control devices 2 to pull or extend the cable 6 in the horizontal direction (that is, the horizontal movement control device 2 at the unloading point mainly plays a traction role, and the horizontal movement control devices 2 at the other unloading points extend the cable 6 to limit the displacement). The horizontal displacement is controlled by the horizontal traction force and traction speed to pull the material transport helium balloon 5 to the material unloading point, completing the unloading operation.

[0066] Further explanation is needed. Figure 1 Taking the three horizontal motion control devices 2 in the example, one master horizontal motion control device (i.e., the horizontal motion control device 2 at the unloading point) is used to pull the helium balloon 5 horizontally to the unloading point, and two slave horizontal motion control devices (i.e., the horizontal motion control devices 2 at the remaining unloading points) are used to limit the lateral displacement of the helium balloon 5 caused by strong winds. The control terminal 4 displays real-time monitoring data such as pulling speed, pulling force, wind speed, and position coordinates, and controls the vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal motion control device 2 in real time to adjust the position of the helium balloon 5 for transporting materials.

[0067] After unloading is complete, the control terminal 4 controls one or more horizontal movement control devices 2 based on monitoring data to deploy the cable 6 horizontally. The horizontal displacement is controlled by the horizontal traction force and traction speed, and the helium balloon 5 transporting the material is deployed from the unloading point back to above the material loading point. When the helium balloon 5 transporting the material reaches its highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 to pull the cable 6 vertically. The vertical displacement is controlled by the vertical traction force and traction speed, and the helium balloon 5 transporting the material is pulled back to the material loading point.

[0068] It needs to be further explained that when there is only one horizontal movement control device 2, the positions of the loading point and the unloading point are determined, the vertical lifting control device 1 is arranged at the loading point, the horizontal movement control device 2 is fixed at the unloading point, one end of the rope 6 is connected to the helium balloon, and the other end is connected to the vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 respectively.

[0069] The control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 to extend the cable 6 in the vertical direction. The vertical displacement is controlled by the vertical traction force and traction speed, and the transport material helium balloon 5 is transported to the top of the loading point. When the transport material helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the horizontal movement control device 2 to pull the cable 6 in the horizontal direction. The horizontal displacement is controlled by the horizontal traction force and traction speed, and the transport material helium balloon 5 is pulled to the material unloading point, completing the unloading operation.

[0070] In another embodiment, when the number of horizontal movement control devices 2 is four, the positions of the loading point and the four unloading points are determined, the horizontal movement control devices 2 are arranged at the four unloading points respectively, and the auxiliary anchoring device 3 is buried to anchor and fix the helium balloon 5 at the loading point, and one end of the five cables 6 is connected to the helium balloon 5, and the other end is connected to a vertical lifting control device 1 and four horizontal movement control devices 2 respectively.

[0071] The vertical lifting control device 1 is controlled by the control terminal 4 to extend the cable 6 in the vertical direction, and the vertical displacement is controlled by the vertical traction force and traction speed to transport the helium balloon 5 for transporting materials to the top of the loading point.

[0072] When the material transport helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the horizontal movement control device 2 at the unloading point to pull the rope 6 in the horizontal direction to control the horizontal displacement through the horizontal traction force and traction speed, and pulls the material transport helium balloon 5 to the material unloading point; at the same time, the horizontal movement control devices 2 at the other three unloading points extend the rope 6 to limit the displacement of the helium balloon 5. The four horizontal movement control devices 2 cooperate to control the pulling of the material transport helium balloon 5 to the material unloading point to complete the unloading operation.

[0073] The present invention provides a helium balloon transport control device for mountain material transportation. This device integrates vertical and horizontal retraction and deployment, anchoring, and wireless remote control functions. This device enables helium balloons to transport materials from a loading point at the bottom of a mountain to a mountaintop unloading point in mountainous terrain with large elevation differences, minimizing environmental damage. This device addresses the challenges of difficult mountain transportation operations and stringent environmental regulations, enabling the transport of helium balloons with a load capacity of 2,000 kg. This device addresses the challenges of difficult mountain transportation operations and stringent environmental regulations, improving the automation and efficiency of mountain material transportation.

[0074] The device of the present invention can display data such as the traction speed, traction force, wind speed, position coordinates, etc. of the material transportation helium balloon in real time, and through the vertical lifting control device and the horizontal movement control device, synchronously and collaboratively control the traction and deployment cables to complete the automatic movement control of the helium balloon in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby improving the degree of automation of material transportation construction equipment and reducing the labor intensity of construction personnel.

[0075] Example 2:

[0076] The present invention based on the same inventive concept also provides a helium balloon transportation control method for mountain material transportation, comprising:

[0077] The vertical lifting control device 1 is controlled by the control terminal 4 to extend the cable 6 in the vertical direction, so that the helium balloon 5 moves in the vertical direction;

[0078] The control terminal 4 controls the horizontal movement control device 2 to pull the cable 6 in the horizontal direction to move the helium balloon 5 in the horizontal direction;

[0079] The vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 work together synchronously to pull or release the cable 6, thereby controlling the helium balloon 5 to complete the transportation of materials in the mountainous area.

[0080] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, controlling the horizontal movement control device 2 to move horizontally by the control terminal 4 further includes:

[0081] When the helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the horizontal movement control device 2 to pull the cable 6 horizontally toward the unloading point. At the same time, the horizontal movement control devices 2 at the remaining unloading points extend the cable 6 horizontally.

[0082] The control terminal 4 controls the horizontal displacement of the helium balloon 5 by adjusting the horizontal traction force and traction speed according to the monitoring data, and pulls the helium balloon 5 transporting the material to the material unloading point to complete the unloading operation;

[0083] The monitoring data includes traction speed, traction force, wind speed and position coordinates.

[0084] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the helium balloon 5 to complete the transportation of materials in the mountainous area, the method further includes:

[0085] After unloading is completed, the horizontal movement control device 2 is controlled by the control terminal 4 to extend the cable 6 in the horizontal direction, and the helium balloon 5 is controlled to move in the horizontal direction through the horizontal traction force and traction speed, so that the helium balloon 5 for transporting materials is extended from the unloading point and returned to above the loading point; when the helium balloon 5 reaches the vertical highest point, the vertical lifting control device 1 is controlled by the control terminal 4 to pull the cable 6 in the vertical direction, and the helium balloon 5 is controlled to move in the vertical direction through the vertical traction force and traction speed, so that the helium balloon 5 for transporting materials is pulled back to the loading point.

[0086] Specifically, the complete process of a helium balloon transportation control method for mountain material transportation in an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0087] A vertical lifting control device 1 is arranged at the cableway loading point, a horizontal movement control device 2 is arranged at the unloading point, and an auxiliary anchoring device 3 is buried to anchor and fix the helium balloon 5 at the loading point. One end of the cable 6 is connected to the helium balloon 5, and the other end is connected to the vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 respectively.

[0088] A control terminal 4 is located at the cableway loading point. This control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 to vertically deploy the cable 6. Vertical traction and speed are used to control vertical displacement, transporting the material helium balloon 5 to directly above the loading point. Once the material helium balloon 5 reaches its highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls one or more horizontal movement control devices 2 to horizontally pull the cable 6. Horizontal traction and speed are used to control horizontal displacement, pulling the material helium balloon 5 to the material unloading point, completing the unloading operation. The control terminal 4 displays monitoring data such as traction speed, traction force, wind speed, and position coordinates in real time, and controls the vertical lifting control device 1 and the horizontal movement control device 2 in real time to adjust the position of the helium balloon 5 for transporting materials. The vertical lifting control device 1 is used to realize the vertical movement of the helium balloon 5. According to the span and height difference between the loading point and the unloading point, the main horizontal movement control device (i.e., the horizontal movement control device 2 at the position of the unloading point) is used to realize the horizontal movement of the helium balloon 5 when the helium balloon 5 reaches the highest vertical point. The lateral displacement of the helium balloon 5 caused by strong wind is limited by the slave horizontal movement control device (i.e., the horizontal movement control device 2 at the remaining unloading points).

[0089] After unloading is complete, the control terminal 4 controls one or more horizontal movement control devices 2 based on monitoring data to deploy the cable 6 horizontally. The horizontal displacement is controlled by the horizontal traction force and traction speed, and the helium balloon 5 transporting the material is deployed from the unloading point back to above the material loading point. When the helium balloon 5 transporting the material reaches its highest vertical point, the control terminal 4 controls the vertical lifting control device 1 to pull the cable 6 vertically. The vertical displacement is controlled by the vertical traction force and traction speed, and the helium balloon 5 transporting the material is pulled back to the material loading point.

[0090] The device, which uses a vertical lift control device and a horizontal movement control device to automatically and synchronously control the traction and deployment cables, moves the helium balloon vertically and horizontally, thereby transporting materials from the loading point to the unloading point. The device measures and displays data such as lift altitude, boat attitude, boat pressure, traction speed, traction force, wind speed, and position coordinates in real time. It also controls the traction force and speed of the vertical lift control device and the horizontal movement control device in real time to adjust the position of the helium balloon for transporting materials.

[0091] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification describes the embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This description is for clarity only. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole.
