Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transportation, and in particular to an air transportation method based on aerodynamics. Background Art

[0002] Currently, to alleviate traffic congestion, local governments are primarily implementing two types of measures: increasing hardware investment, such as large-scale rail transit construction; and implementing traffic controls, such as restricting private car use. However, these solutions have significant drawbacks: excessive hardware investment leads to a sharp increase in resource consumption, and the continuous expansion of transportation infrastructure continues to increase the demand for various resources. Furthermore, the operation of large numbers of vehicles and the construction of transportation infrastructure have led to increasingly prominent environmental issues, with excessive carbon emissions exacerbating urban ecological pressures.

[0003] Against this backdrop, a new mode of transportation is urgently needed to overcome existing difficulties. Furthermore, transporting people and goods between mountains, canyons, rivers, large ships, islands, and even between polar regions like the North and South Poles faces challenges such as complex terrain, high transportation costs, and low efficiency. Existing transportation methods struggle to meet the demands for green, efficient, and convenient transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air traffic method based on aerodynamics, which at least partially solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention provides an air traffic method based on aerodynamics, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Multiple stations are set up on the building, connected by sealed pipes, slide rails are laid inside the sealed pipes, and the transport device is placed on the slide rails;

[0007] An air pressure regulating device is provided at the site, through which an air pressure difference is formed in the sealed pipe along the direction of travel of the transport device, so as to push the transport device to move on the slide rail.

[0008] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, stations are set at the top or middle of a building, and the stations are connected by sealed pipes to form an air traffic network.

[0009] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, a strong and lightweight material is selected to make the sealing pipe so that the sealing pipe can withstand more than one atmospheric pressure; the mechanical strength of the slide rail and the sealing pipe is designed according to the load capacity of the transport device.

[0010] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, a vacuum device is used as an air pressure regulating device, and the air pressure difference in the sealed pipe is adjusted by the vacuum device to control the travel speed of the transport device.

[0011] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, the transport device includes a safety capsule for transporting personnel and a cargo rack for transporting cargo; the safety capsule is made of lightweight materials, and the interior of the safety capsule is kept at normal atmospheric pressure.

[0012] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, electric motors are installed on the safety capsule and the cargo rack. When air power is missing or insufficient, the electric motors are started as supplementary power to drive the transport device to move.

[0013] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, an oxygen cylinder, an oxygen mask and an oxygen concentration alarm are configured in the safety capsule. When the oxygen in the safety capsule is lacking, oxygen is supplied through the oxygen cylinder and the oxygen mask, and the oxygen concentration alarm monitors the oxygen concentration and issues an alarm.

[0014] According to a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of isolation doors are installed on the sealed pipe at intervals along the length direction, and pressure sensors and infrared sensors are installed on the isolation doors.

[0015] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, an emergency rescue device and a braking device are set in the safety capsule; when the infrared sensor senses that the isolation door is not open, the braking device is activated to make the safety capsule brake urgently, and the emergency rescue device is activated to send a distress signal at the same time.

[0016] According to a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, the transportation process includes the following steps:

[0017] Before the transport device departs from the station, the isolation door at the rear end of the transport channel at the station is closed and the isolation door at the front end is opened, so that an air pressure difference is formed before and after the isolation door, pushing the transport device forward along the track;

[0018] When the pressure difference in the sealed pipe decreases to a certain value, the transport device reaches the next isolation door. At this time, the previous isolation door is closed and the current isolation door is opened, forming a new pressure difference to continue to push the transport device forward;

[0019] When the transport device arrives at the target site, the isolation doors at both ends of the transport channel at the site are closed to restore the air pressure in the transport channel at the site to normal pressure, and the transport device door is opened to allow people or goods to enter and exit.

[0020] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Alleviate urban traffic pressure: By building an aerial traffic network between urban buildings, a three-dimensional transportation system is constructed to divert ground traffic flow, effectively alleviate ground traffic congestion, and improve the overall traffic operation efficiency of the city.

[0022] 2. Reduce carbon emissions: The application of air transportation can reduce the demand for cars in cities, thereby reducing automobile exhaust emissions. At the same time, its driving method of using air pressure differences to generate thrust significantly reduces the demand for energy resources compared to traditional automobile power modes, further reducing carbon emissions and helping cities achieve green and low-carbon development.

[0023] 3. Optimize urban space utilization: The reduction in demand for cars will correspondingly reduce the demand for parking lots. The space released can be converted into urban functional areas, expanding the area of ​​urban functional areas, providing more spatial resources for urban development, and promoting the optimization of urban layout.

[0024] 4. Improve transportation speed and efficiency: A near-vacuum state can be formed inside the transportation channel, which can greatly reduce air resistance. While reducing the power demand, it can significantly increase the speed of the transportation device and make the transportation of people and goods more efficient.

[0025] 5. Enhance inter-building accessibility: Transportation stations are set up on each building, so that people do not need to rely too much on ground roads to travel between buildings. To a certain extent, this reduces the number of times people go up and down the stairs and the distance to reach the station, achieving more direct and convenient access between buildings.

[0026] 6. Expanding city sightseeing: The layout of the air transportation network provides a new way for city sightseeing. Passengers on transportation devices can overlook the city landscape from the air, facilitating city sightseeing and excursion activities, and enriching the city's cultural tourism experience.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This invention creates an aerial transportation network by constructing lightweight, sealed pipes between urban buildings and setting up transportation stations. By leveraging aerodynamic pressure differences to provide power, it provides a green, efficient, convenient, and low-cost method for transporting people and materials between buildings, alleviating ground transportation pressure and reducing urban carbon emissions.

[0035] The present invention mainly includes the following contents:

[0036] 1. Air traffic network design

[0037] Transportation stations are set up on the top or in the middle of each building in the city, and then sealed pipes are built between the stations to form an aerial transportation network.

[0038] 2. Transportation track design

[0039] The sealed pipes connecting the buildings are designed as traffic passages. The sealed pipes are made of strong and lightweight materials so that they can withstand more than one atmosphere of pressure. Slide rails are laid inside the pipes, and personnel transport cabins or cargo racks are installed on the slide rails. The mechanical strength of the slide rails and pipes is designed according to the number of people and the weight of the cargo.

[0040] 3. Transmission power design

[0041] Vacuum equipment is installed in the traffic passages at each station. When the vacuum equipment is turned on, a certain air pressure difference is created in the passageway in the direction of travel of people or goods, thereby generating thrust, which pushes the transport bins or cargo racks on the slide rails. The thrust and travel speed can be adjusted by adjusting the air pressure difference. Through reasonable design, continuous thrust can be generated throughout the entire transportation network.

[0042] 4. Personnel safety plan

[0043] A safety capsule is installed on the transport track to serve as a passenger compartment. It maintains normal atmospheric pressure at all times to ensure passenger safety. The capsule is constructed of lightweight materials and designed according to aerodynamic principles to reduce air resistance and friction during travel. To prevent aerodynamic loss or insufficiency, electric motors are installed in the capsule and cargo racks for supplemental power. To prevent oxygen depletion, the capsule is equipped with an oxygen cylinder, oxygen mask, and oxygen concentration alarm.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0045] 1. Establishing an aerial traffic network and forming three-dimensional transportation can effectively alleviate urban traffic pressure.

[0046] 2. It can reduce the demand for cars in cities, which will help reduce carbon emissions while easing traffic pressure.

[0047] 3. As the demand for cars decreases, the demand for parking lots will also decrease, which can effectively expand the area of ​​urban functional areas and is conducive to urban development.

[0048] 4. Air traffic uses air pressure difference to generate thrust, which effectively reduces the demand for energy resources and also helps reduce carbon emissions.

[0049] 5. The interior of the traffic channel is in a vacuum state, which helps to reduce air resistance, lower the demand for power, and make transportation faster.

[0050] 6. Transportation stations are located on each building. The accessibility between buildings reduces the number of times going up and down stairs and the distance between arrival stations to a certain extent, making accessibility between buildings more direct and convenient.

[0051] 7. Convenient for city sightseeing and tours.

[0053] The urban air traffic network primarily consists of a dispatch center, stations, transport corridors, isolation gates, and transport pods. The dispatch center coordinates the transport pod's routes and stops. Each station is located on a separate building, with distributed transport corridors leading to different stations. Each station has a vacuum pump to regulate the air pressure within each transport corridor and control the transport pod's speed. The transport corridors connect the stations, are lined with guide rails, and are equipped with sealed isolation gates. Isolation gates are installed at regular intervals, with varying numbers of isolation gates installed between stations depending on the distance. Pressure sensors and infrared sensors are installed on the isolation gates. The transport pod is designed as a safety capsule, capable of high-speed travel and braking on the rails of the transport corridor. The safety capsule is equipped with seats for passengers, a backup electric motor, oxygen supply equipment, infrared sensors, and emergency call equipment.

[0054] When the transport pod arrives at a station, the gates at both ends of the transport corridor close, the air pressure in the corridor reaches normal, and the doors open for boarding and disembarking. Before the transport pod departs from a station, the corridor doors close, with Gate 1 at the rear of the pod closed and Gate 2 at the front open. This creates a pressure differential across Gate 2, propelling the pod along its predetermined trajectory. As air continues to flow in from the station, the pressure differential gradually decreases. When it reaches a certain level, the pod reaches Gate 3, at which point Gate 2 automatically closes. The pressure sensor in Gate 3 automatically signals the gate to open. This pressure differential across Gate 3 continues to propel the pod forward, and so on, until it reaches the next station. If the pod encounters a low oxygen pressure during its journey, an oxygen supply system automatically provides oxygen. In an emergency, an alarm can be activated to call for help. If the air pressure differential is too low and the transport chamber is moving too slowly, the electric motor will automatically start to provide power, propelling the transport chamber forward at a predetermined speed. If the infrared sensor detects that the isolation door is not open while the transport chamber is moving, it will automatically issue an opening command to open the isolation door. Simultaneously, the infrared sensor on the isolation door will also sense the arrival of the transport chamber and issue a command to open the isolation door. If the isolation door is not open, the braking device and alarm equipment will be immediately activated, causing the transport chamber to brake urgently and sending a distress signal.
