Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerostat transportation, and in particular to a container-type aerostat bladder shipping device and a shipping method. Background Art

[0002] An aerostat is an aircraft filled with a lightweight (lighter-than-air) gas that relies (or primarily relies) on the static buoyancy of air to achieve lift. It can be categorized into free balloons, tethered balloons, and airships. Free balloons are unpowered and float freely with the wind; tethered balloons are unpowered and are held in place by a cable attached to a ground facility. Airships, on the other hand, are powered aerostats that rely on their own power for controlled, maneuverable flight.

[0003] The aerostat envelope is a core component of the aerostat, and its safety directly impacts the smooth conduct of flight tests. The aerostat envelope is a flexible structure, varying in size depending on the model. When laid flat, its length ranges from a few meters to hundreds of meters, and its weight ranges from a few kilograms to several tons. Made of a thin film composite material, the envelope is easily damaged by contact with rigid structures, compromising its airtightness.

[0004] Small aerostats are transported in specialized air boxes, with the capsule manually loaded and unloaded. Large aerostats are transported in specialized shipping boxes or containers, again relying on manual handling. While traditional transportation and shipping methods are straightforward and easy to implement, manual handling of large aerostats not only poses a shortage of capacity but can also lead to injuries due to the capsule's weight. Furthermore, manual handling can cause excessive rubbing, compromising the capsule's airtightness. Summary of the Invention

[0024] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. Figures 1 to 4 The container type aerostat capsule shipping equipment provided by the present application has a transportation mode and a boxing mode, and comprises a box body 10, a folding guide rail and a lifting mechanism 40. The box body 10 is arranged on a transportation equipment 100, and an accommodating space with an opening on one side is formed in the box body 10. The folding guide rail comprises a first guide rail 20 and a second guide rail 30, and the first guide rail 20 is rotatably connected with the second guide rail 30 and arranged in the accommodating space. The lifting mechanism 40 is used for lifting an aerostat capsule 50.

[0026] In the embodiment, the box body 10 is arranged on various transportation equipments 100 such as trucks, ships or special vehicles. An accommodating space is formed in the box body 10, and an opening is specially reserved on one side of the space to facilitate subsequent shipping operations. A box door can be additionally arranged at the opening to ensure the safety and stability of the aerostat capsule 50 during transportation.

[0027] The folding guide rail is composed of the first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 30. The first guide rail 20 is rotatably connected with the second guide rail 30, so that the two can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When the equipment is in the transportation mode, the second guide rail 30 can be smoothly rotated to a state of being separated from the first guide rail 20 and can be rotated into the accommodating space, so that the guide rail can be avoided from extending to the outside and affecting subsequent transportation.

[0028] When the equipment is in the boxing mode, the second guide rail 30 is rotated to be in butt joint with the first guide rail 20, at least a part of the second guide rail 30 extends to the outside of the accommodating space through the opening, and the lifting mechanism 40 is slidably arranged in the first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 30 after butt joint, so that the position of the lifting mechanism 40 can be adjusted by moving the second guide rail 30 extending out of the box body 10.

[0029] During the entire shipping process, the lifting mechanism 40 can slide on the folding guide rail, whether it slides alone along the first guide rail 20 or slides on the longer track formed after the first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 30 are connected, it can accurately complete the lifting and moving operations of the airship bladder 50, ensuring that the airship bladder 50 can be smoothly and safely transferred from one position to another during the entire shipping process.

[0030] Specifically, in actual use, when the aerostat bladder 50 needs to be loaded onto a vehicle for transportation, the box 10 is first securely positioned on the transport equipment 100. Next, the operator rotates the second guide rail 30 to a position where it mates with the first guide rail 20. At this point, at least a portion of the second guide rail 30 extends from the opening of the storage space to the exterior of the storage space, forming a continuous guide rail channel. The lifting mechanism 40 then slides along this guide rail channel to the exterior of the storage space, beginning the lifting operation of the aerostat bladder 50.

[0031] During the lifting process, the operator repeatedly adjusts the lifting mechanism 40, moving it along the guide rails in and out of the storage space, gradually and precisely moving all the aerostat capsules 50 into the storage space. Once all the aerostat capsules 50 are securely placed in the storage space, the second guide rail 30 is rotated to disengage from the first guide rail 20 and properly rotated into the storage space, completing the loading of the aerostat capsules 50 and placing the entire loading equipment into a stable transportation mode, providing a solid guarantee for subsequent safe transportation.

[0032] The containerized aerostat bladder shipping equipment provided by the present invention combines the large volume advantages of conventional shipping containers, can meet both shipping and storage needs, does not require additional storage facilities, and improves space utilization. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 40 and the folding guide rails, the bladder is reduced from collisions and friction during transportation, effectively protecting the bladder and reducing the possibility of damage. At the same time, the equipment also has a semi-automated shipping function, which reduces manual operation steps and labor costs, while also avoiding personal injuries that may occur due to manual handling. It is also suitable for a variety of environments, including open-air field environments and workshop environments, and can be adapted to universal flatbed transport vehicles. It has wide applicability and flexibility, and can be quickly deployed and used according to actual needs and scenarios.

[0033] To ensure stability, Figures 1 to 4As shown, two folding guide rails are provided. The first guide rails 20 of the two folding guide rails are arranged parallel to the top surface of the storage space, and the second guide rails 30 of the two folding guide rails are rotatably connected to the corresponding first guide rails 20. When in transport mode, the ends of the lifting mechanism 40 are slidably mounted on the two first guide rails 20. When in packing mode, the ends of the lifting mechanism 40 are slidably mounted on the two docked first and second guide rails 20, 30. When lifting the airship bladder 50, the two folding guide rails provide strong, evenly distributed support, ensuring that the bladder remains stable during lifting and preventing damage caused by uneven weight distribution or shaking. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 40 also has a certain degree of flexibility and cushioning capacity, which can effectively absorb the impact forces that may occur during transportation, further enhancing the safety of the airship bladder 50.

[0034] The dual-folding guide rails and sliding arrangement of the lifting mechanism 40 provide significant stability for the heavier aerostat 50. During lifting and movement, the aerostat 50 receives even support from both directions, effectively preventing problems such as swaying, tilting, and even damage caused by uneven force at a single point.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 40 includes: a support shaft 410, a first lifting component 420 and a second lifting component 430; the first lifting component 420 is slidably set on one of the folding guide rails, and the second lifting component 430 is slidably set on the other folding guide rail, and the two ends of the support shaft 410 are respectively connected to the first lifting component 420 and the second lifting component 430 to support the airship capsule 50.

[0036] In specific implementations, the first lifting member 420 and the second lifting member 430 can be electric hoists. Electric hoists are common lifting equipment, offering advantages such as small size, light weight, ease of operation, and stable operation. The electric hoists are equipped with handheld controllers, allowing operators to easily control their lifting and lowering movements. This enables the lifting mechanism 40 to quickly respond to operational commands, improving loading efficiency. In actual operation, the operator simply presses a control button to smoothly raise and lower the aerostat bladder 50, significantly reducing operational difficulty and labor intensity.

[0037] The support shaft 410 is a steel core foam shaft, the interior of which is a load-bearing core shaft made of steel pipe, and the exterior is a shaft sleeve made of hard foam, which is cylindrical. On the one hand, the sac will not be damaged when it contacts the shaft. On the other hand, the sac has a certain turning radius when it is hung on the shaft sleeve and will not generate too much pulling force. On the other hand, the shaft sleeve can roll on the shaft, which is convenient for the transportation of the sac.

[0038] During operation, when the aerostat bladder 50 needs to be loaded into the box body 10, the box body 10 is first installed on the transportation equipment 100, and the second guide rail 30 of the folding guide rail is rotated to a position where it docks with the first guide rail 20, so that a part of the second guide rail 30 extends from the opening to the outside of the accommodating space to form a continuous guide rail channel.

[0039] The first lifting member 420 and the second lifting member 430 of the lifting mechanism 40 slide along the corresponding folding guide rails to the outside of the opening of the storage space. At this time, the operator controls the lowering movement of the electric hoist to lower the support shaft 410 to the appropriate position for the lifting point of the aerostat bladder 50.

[0040] After the hooking is completed, the operator controls the lifting action of the electric hoist to gradually lift the aerostat 50 off the ground and to a certain height. During the lifting process, the first lifting component 420 and the second lifting component 430 remain relatively stable on the folding guide rails, ensuring that the aerostat 50 remains stable during the ascent.

[0041] Next, the operator controls the horizontal movement of the electric hoist or adjusts the angle of the folding guide rail as needed, allowing the lifting mechanism 40 to smoothly move the aerostat bladder 50 along the guide rail into the storage space. During this movement, the electric hoists at both ends of the support shaft 410 cooperate to evenly distribute the weight of the aerostat bladder 50, preventing it from shaking or being damaged due to uneven force.

[0042] Once the aerostat bladder 50 has been moved to the desired location within the storage space, the operator again controls the electric hoist's lowering motion, slowly and accurately placing it on the support structure or fixture within the storage space. Finally, the second guide rail 30 is rotated to disengage from the first guide rail 20 and retracted into the storage space, placing the entire shipping device in transport mode and completing the packing operation.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the containerized aerostat capsule loading equipment further includes: a first driving mechanism 60 and a second driving mechanism; the first driving mechanism 60 is transmission-connected to the first lifting component 420 for driving it to move on the corresponding folding guide rail; the second driving mechanism is transmission-connected to the second lifting component 430 for driving it to move on the corresponding folding guide rail.

[0044] For example, the first drive mechanism 60 and the second drive mechanism can be an automatic winder or a rotating shaft screw. An automatic winder is a device that automatically controls the retraction and release of a rope or wire rope. It contains a power system and a winding device, which can automatically retract and release the rope through electric drive. In the shipping equipment, the first drive mechanism 60 is in transmission connection with the first lifting member 420, and the second drive mechanism is in transmission connection with the second lifting member 430.

[0045] Specifically, one end of the rope of the automatic winder is fixed to the corresponding lifting component, and the other end is wound around the winder's drum. When the automatic winder is started, the drum rotates, driving the rope to be wound or released, thereby driving the lifting component to move along the folding guide rail.

[0046] During the shipping process, when the aerostat 50 needs to be moved into the storage space, the operator controls the activation and operation of the first drive mechanism 60 and the second drive mechanism to reel in or release the rope according to a preset program. For example, when lifting the aerostat 50 from the outside to the storage space, the first drive mechanism 60 and the second drive mechanism are activated synchronously, driving the first lifting member 420 and the second lifting member 430 to move along the folding guide rails into the storage space.

[0047] The automatic winder's control system precisely controls the rope's winding length and speed based on preset positioning parameters or real-time operator commands, ensuring smooth and synchronized movement of the lifting components. Once the aerostat 50 reaches the designated position, the drive mechanism automatically stops, and the lifting components remain stable on the folding rails, ensuring precise placement of the aerostat 50.

[0048] As needed, multiple lifting mechanisms 40 can be provided, with the first drive mechanism 60 being transmission-connected to the first lifting component 420 of each lifting mechanism 40 ; and the second drive mechanism being transmission-connected to the second lifting component 430 of each lifting mechanism 40 .

[0049] For example, two lifting mechanisms are provided, one for the outer lifting mechanism 40 and the other for the inner lifting mechanism 40. A first driving mechanism 60 establishes a transmission connection with the first lifting components 420 of the outer lifting mechanism 40 and the inner lifting mechanism 40, respectively, via a transmission device (such as a wire rope, chain, or gear). When the first driving mechanism 60 is activated, the power generated by it is transmitted via the transmission device to the first lifting components 420 of each lifting mechanism 40, driving them to move synchronously along the corresponding folding guide rails. A second driving mechanism is also connected to the second lifting components 430 of the outer lifting mechanism 40 and the inner lifting mechanism 40 via a transmission device. During the shipping process, the second driving mechanism can synchronously drive the second lifting components 430 of the two lifting mechanisms 40 to move on the corresponding folding guide rails.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one side of the box 10 is a thermal insulation buffer plate; the thermal insulation buffer plate includes a buffer layer and a thermal insulation layer, the buffer layer is located on the outside of the box 10, and the buffer layer is located on the inside of the box 10. This layered structure is designed to provide all-round protection for the aerostat capsule 50, both to resist external physical impact and to maintain a stable internal environment.

[0051] For example, when the box body 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped, thermal insulation buffer plates can be provided on its five faces and the door at the opening (that is, the six faces of the entire box body 10 are actually provided with thermal insulation buffer plates), so that the airship bladder 50 can be uniformly and effectively protected inside the box body 10, and can be effectively isolated and buffered regardless of the impact or temperature change from which direction.

[0052] The buffer layer, as the inner structure of the thermal insulation buffer plate, directly faces the external environment. Its primary function is to provide reliable cushioning protection for the aerostat bladder 50. During transportation, road bumps, sudden braking, lateral forces during cornering, and possible collisions can all impact the box 10. The buffer layer, through its special material and structural design, effectively absorbs and disperses these impact forces.

[0053] The cushioning layer is typically made of materials with excellent elasticity and toughness, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) foam, EVA foam, and rubber. These materials quickly deform when impacted, absorbing the impact energy and evenly distributing the force over a larger area, thereby reducing the direct force acting on the aerostat bladder 50. For example, when a transport vehicle traverses uneven roads, the cushioning layer effectively reduces swaying within the box 10 and maintains the stability of the aerostat bladder 50.

[0054] The insulation layer, located outside the buffer layer, maintains a stable temperature within the housing 10 and mitigates the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the aerostat capsule 50. For some specific types of aerostat capsule 50, the properties of the gas or materials within may be significantly affected by temperature. For example, at low temperatures, certain materials may become brittle and prone to cracking; while at high temperatures, the expansion of the gas may exert excessive pressure on the capsule. Therefore, the design of the insulation layer is crucial for ensuring the performance and safety of the aerostat capsule 50.

[0055] The insulation layer is typically made of materials with excellent thermal insulation properties, such as polyurethane foam, rock wool, and glass wool. These materials have low thermal conductivity, effectively preventing heat transfer between the inside and outside of the enclosure 10. In cold winters, the insulation layer prevents heat from escaping to the outside environment, thereby keeping the internal temperature within the enclosure 10 from dropping too low. In hot summers, it blocks external heat from entering the enclosure 10, preventing the internal temperature from rising too high.

[0056] In practical applications, the thickness and material selection of the insulation layer can be customized according to specific transportation needs and the requirements of the aerostat bladder 50. For example, for a temperature-sensitive aerostat bladder 50, the thickness of the insulation layer can be appropriately increased or multi-layer composite insulation materials can be used to further improve the insulation effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the containerized aerostat bladder shipping equipment also includes an outdoor air conditioning unit 80 and an indoor air conditioning unit 70. The outdoor air conditioning unit 80 is located outside the housing 10. The indoor air conditioning unit 70 is electrically connected to the outdoor air conditioning unit 80 and is located within the storage space. The outdoor air conditioning unit 80 and the indoor air conditioning unit 70 together constitute an air conditioning system that controls the internal environment to maintain the desired temperature and humidity within the housing 10.

[0058] When the shipping equipment is in transport mode, the air conditioning system starts operating. The air conditioning outdoor unit 80 circulates refrigerant through the system. In cooling mode, the refrigerant releases heat and liquefies in the condenser of the air conditioning outdoor unit 80. It then flows through piping into the evaporator of the indoor unit. In the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air inside the cabinet 10 and vaporizes, lowering the air temperature. The cooled air is then returned to the cabinet 10, achieving a cooling effect.

[0059] In the heating mode, the air conditioning system uses reverse cycle technology to make the refrigerant absorb heat from the ambient air and vaporize in the evaporator of the air conditioning outdoor unit 80, and then release the heat and liquefy in the condenser of the air conditioning indoor unit 70, transferring the heat to the air inside the box 10 to achieve a warming effect.

[0060] To control humidity, the air conditioning system uses a combination of dehumidification and humidification. In dehumidification mode, the air conditioning indoor unit 70 lowers the air temperature to the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets and be discharged outside the cabinet 10. To increase humidity, the system uses a built-in humidification device (such as an ultrasonic humidifier or a wet film humidifier) ​​to release water vapor into the air, raising the relative humidity inside the cabinet 10.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the containerized aerostat bladder shipping equipment further includes: a power supply device 90 , which is disposed outside the box body 10 and is electrically connected to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 80 , the air-conditioning indoor unit 70 , and the lifting mechanism 40 .

[0062] Furthermore, the power supply device 90 can be electrically connected to components such as the first drive mechanism 60, the second drive mechanism, the first lifting member 420, and the second lifting member 430 to provide power to these components. Through these electrical connections, the power supply device 90 continuously supplies power to these components, enabling the entire shipping equipment to operate independently without any external power supply equipment.

[0063] The power supply equipment 90 itself has various forms. It can be a generator that can provide stable power supply in a long-term, high-intensity operating environment; it can also be a lightweight, flexible and easy-to-maintain battery, suitable for use in some scenarios with high requirements for mobility and convenience.

[0064] The present invention also provides a method for shipping containerized aerostat capsule shipping equipment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included: Step S101: When the box is placed on the transport equipment, the second guide rail is rotated to dock with the first guide rail, the lifting mechanism is moved to the outside of the opening of the accommodation space, and the aerostat capsule is lifted by the lifting mechanism.

[0065] Step S102: repeatedly adjusting the lifting mechanism to move in and out of the accommodation space until all aerostat bladders are moved into the accommodation space.

[0066] Step S103: rotating the second guide rail to be separated from the first guide rail, and rotating the second guide rail into the accommodation space to complete the loading of the aerostat capsule.

[0067] Specifically, in actual use, when the aerostat capsule needs to be loaded onto a truck for transportation, the container is first securely mounted on the transport equipment. Next, the operator rotates the second guide rail to mate with the first guide rail, typically until they are parallel. At this point, at least a portion of the second guide rail extends from the opening of the storage space to the exterior, forming a continuous guide rail channel. The lifting mechanism then slides along this guide rail channel to the exterior of the storage space, beginning the lifting operation of the aerostat capsule.

[0068] During the lifting process, the operator repeatedly adjusts the lifting mechanism, moving it along the guide rails in and out of the storage space, gradually and precisely moving all the aerostat capsules into the storage space. Once all the aerostat capsules are safely placed in the storage space, the second guide rail is rotated to disengage from the first guide rail. Generally, the second guide rail needs to be rotated perpendicular to the first guide rail and properly rotated into the storage space, thus completing the loading of the aerostat capsules and putting the entire shipping equipment into a stable transportation mode.

[0069] The shipping method for the containerized aerostat capsule shipping equipment provided by the present invention combines the large volume advantages of conventional shipping containers, can meet both shipping and storage needs, does not require additional storage facilities, and improves space utilization. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism and the folding guide rails, the capsule is reduced from collisions and friction during transportation, effectively protecting the capsule and reducing the possibility of damage. At the same time, the equipment also has a semi-automated shipping function, which reduces manual operation links and labor costs, while also avoiding possible personal injuries caused by manual handling. It is also suitable for a variety of environments, including open-air field and workshop environments, and can be adapted to general flatbed transport vehicles. It has wide applicability and flexibility, and can be quickly deployed and used according to actual needs and scenarios.

[0070] In some embodiments, the containerized aerostat bag transport equipment also has an inflation mode. The corresponding folding guide rails are further provided with a third guide rail. The third guide rail is disposed on the top surface outside the container. The second guide rail can be a U-shaped guide rail. When the second guide rail rotates to a certain position relative to the first guide rail, the second guide rail connects the first and third guide rails. The lifting mechanism can then smoothly and accurately lift the aerostat bag, which has been transferred into the container, to the top surface of the entire container along this connected guide rail path. Once the aerostat bag is lifted to the top surface of the container, the staff can perform the inflation operation in the open space on the top surface.

[0071] Specifically, a retractable third rail is pre-installed on the top of the box, which is normally retracted into the interlayer of the box's top plate. When the inflation mode is activated, the third rail is automatically deployed by a hydraulic push rod and fixed parallel to the top surface of the box, forming an extended working plane. The second rail adopts a deformable U-shaped structure, with its bottom hinge point connected to the first rail and a universal shaft on the top. When the second rail is rotated to the inflation angle, the open end of the U-shape automatically engages the electromagnetic locking groove at the end of the third rail, forming a continuous track. The lifting mechanism slides along the first, second, and third rails to lift the bladder above the box: the top surface of the box is embedded with a dedicated inflation base plate, which is equipped with a ring-shaped inflation interface array (automatically docking with the bladder valve) and negative pressure adsorption holes (generating a -5kPa adsorption force to fix the airship bladder after activation).

[0072] Based on the above embodiment, step S102: repeatedly adjusting the lifting mechanism to move in and out of the accommodation space until all aerostat bladders are moved into the accommodation space specifically includes: Step S1021: driving the lifting mechanism to move a predetermined distance into the accommodation space along the docked first guide rail and the second guide rail, so as to move a portion of the aerostat bladder currently lifted by the lifting mechanism into the accommodation space.

[0073] Step S1022: adjusting the lifting mechanism to completely separate from the currently lifted portion of the aerostat capsule, and moving it outside the accommodation space to lift the other portions of the aerostat capsule.

[0074] Step S1023: Repeat the above steps to move all the parts of the aerostat that have not yet been moved into the accommodation space into the accommodation space.

[0075] Specifically, this embodiment adopts a stacking method to load the capsules stacked in a straight line into the interior of the box. Since the volume of the airship capsule is usually large, it is often impossible to move it into the storage space in its entirety in a single operation. Therefore, after the initial docking is completed, it is first necessary to drive the lifting mechanism to move a predetermined distance into the storage space along the first and second guide rails after docking. This predetermined distance is determined by the length of the airship itself and the length of the box, and the purpose is to smoothly move the portion of the airship capsule currently lifted by the lifting mechanism into the storage space. During the movement process, the operator needs to pay close attention to the balance of the capsule and its relative position to the surrounding environment to ensure that the capsule does not collide or squeeze with the box or other stored capsules due to its excessive size.

[0076] Once a portion of the aerostat has been successfully moved into the containment space, the lifting mechanism must completely disengage from the portion of the aerostat it is currently lifting. This process requires the operator to control the release of the lifting mechanism (or remove its support shaft) to ensure that the portion of the aerostat remains stably positioned within the containment space after being released. The lifting mechanism then moves along the guide rails out of the containment space, readjusting its position and posture in preparation for lifting the remaining portion of the aerostat. At this point, the operator must select the appropriate lifting position based on the shape and weight distribution of the aerostat, as well as the position of the already moved portion, to ensure smooth and safe movement.

[0077] After completing the above two sub-steps, the operator needs to repeat the process of steps S1021 and S1022, gradually moving all the remaining portions of the aerostat shell that have not yet entered the storage space. This process may require multiple cycles until the entire shell is completely inside the storage space. During each repetition, the operator needs to adjust the movement distance, speed, and lifting position of the lifting mechanism according to the actual situation to adapt to the different conditions and position requirements of the shell. At the same time, the integrity of the shell and the operating status of the lifting mechanism must be continuously checked to ensure the safety of the entire process.

[0078] It should be noted that in other embodiments, after step S103, if the loaded aerostat capsule in the container needs to be transported to a target facility (other containerized aerostat capsule loading equipment or an inflatable platform for transporting the aerostat), the folding rails of the current container and the target facility can be automatically docked using hydraulic latches to form a continuous track. The lifting mechanism then slides the aerostat capsule along the track directly into the target facility. A laser displacement sensor is embedded at the track docking point to monitor the sliding track deviation in real time.

[0079] Specifically, once preparations are complete, hydraulic latches activate, precisely docking the current container with the folding rails of the target device. This process is automated by the device's control system, ensuring rapid and accurate docking. After docking is complete, laser displacement sensors begin monitoring the sliding trajectory in real time. These sensors continuously feed this data back to the control system, enabling timely adjustments to the airship's sliding trajectory. The lifting mechanism then slides the airship along a continuous track into the target device. During this process, the control system adjusts the airship's speed and direction in real time based on the laser displacement sensor data to ensure a smooth transition into the target device. Once the airship is fully inside the target device, the system automatically locks its position, ensuring stability within the device. Finally, the hydraulic latches release the docking, completing the transfer process.

[0080] In addition, the containerized aerostat bag loading equipment also features an inflation mode. The corresponding folding guide rails are also equipped with a third guide rail, which is set on the top surface outside the container. The second guide rail can be a U-shaped guide rail. When the second guide rail rotates to a certain position relative to the first guide rail, the second guide rail connects the first and third guide rails. The lifting mechanism can then smoothly and accurately lift the aerostat bag, which has been transferred into the container, to the top surface of the entire container along this connected guide rail path. Once the aerostat bag is lifted to the top surface of the container, the staff can perform the inflation operation in the open space on the top surface.

[0081] Specifically, a retractable third guide rail is preset on the top of the box, which is normally retracted into the interlayer of the box top plate. After step S103, if the inflation mode is activated, the third guide rail is automatically unfolded by the hydraulic push rod and fixed parallel to the top surface of the box to form an extended working plane. The second guide rail adopts a deformable U-shaped structure, the bottom hinge point of which is connected to the first guide rail, and a universal shaft is provided on the top. When the second guide rail is rotated to the inflation angle, the U-shaped open end automatically embeds into the electromagnetic locking groove at the end of the third guide rail to form a continuous track. The lifting mechanism slides along the first guide rail, the second guide rail and the third guide rail to lift the bladder to the top of the box: the top surface of the box is embedded with a special inflation base plate, and the plate surface is provided with a ring-shaped inflation interface array (automatically docking the bladder valve) and a negative pressure adsorption hole (generating adsorption force to fix the airship bladder after activation).
