[0002] A tethered balloon is a type of aerostat, which uses lighter-than-air gas to generate buoyancy and float in the air. Due to the long time that tethered balloons can stay in the air, they have become a common aerial platform, carrying relevant measurement and control equipment on the sphere, and are widely used in civil and military fields. The classification of tethered balloons includes: micro, small, medium, large, extra-large, and super-large, among which super-large and micro have become the development trend of tethered balloons. In the practicality requirements of tethered balloons, the characteristic of rapid deployment has become a very important feature of measuring the system.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a portable tethered balloon device disclosed in announcement number CN209209011U, in which the balloon is in a folded state before being released and placed on the top of a box, a camera is wrapped in the folded balloon, and a tethering rope connects an automatic retracting and releasing unit and the balloon; the air nozzle is connected to an automatic inflation unit, the balloon cover is opened, and the automatic inflation unit is controlled by a display control terminal to inflate the balloon, and after the balloon is full, the air nozzle is disconnected, and the automatic retracting and releasing unit is controlled by the display control terminal to release or retract the tethering rope, completing the inflation, releasing, and retracting operations, and transmitting image information to the display control terminal through the mounted camera to realize ground observation. This utility model integrates the micro tethered balloon and the automatic retracting and releasing and inflation system into a storage box as a whole, so that it can be carried by one person and does not need to be transported or transferred through additional equipment.

[0004] However, in actual use, when the above-mentioned mooring ball is stored or transported, the mooring rope can only be automatically retracted and released through the winch, motor and gear set, and when the mooring ball is folded and retracted, multiple people are still required to operate, and the folding process is relatively cumbersome, the folding convenience is poor, and the tightness is not high. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the tethered ball needs to be folded and retracted during the storage or transportation process. The existing folding and retracting of the tethered ball still requires multiple people to operate, and the folding process is relatively cumbersome, the folding convenience is poor, and the compactness is not high. A tethered ball assembly for high-altitude monitoring that is easy to fold and retract is provided.

[0006] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions: a tethered ball assembly for high-altitude monitoring that is easy to fold and retract, comprising a tethered ball retracting box, and a tethered ball folding and retracting assembly and a tethered ball smoothing assembly located inside the tethered ball retracting box;

[0007] The tethered ball folding and retracting assembly includes a gear motor, which is fixedly installed on one side of the tethered ball retracting box. The output end of the gear motor is fixedly connected to a second gear, the top of the second gear is meshed with a first gear, and a retracting shaft is fixedly installed on the surface of the first gear.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the surface of the retractable shaft is closely fitted with a tethered ball body, and the structure of the tethered ball body is a circular structure.

[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the bottom of the mooring ball body is connected to multiple groups of mooring cables, and the material of the multiple groups of mooring cables is high-strength polyethylene material.

[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: the tethered ball smoothing assembly includes a return spring, which is fixedly installed inside the tethered ball storage box, and a guide rod and a guide rod sleeve are penetrated inside the return spring, and the guide rod sleeve and the guide rod are sleeved.

[0011] As a further solution of the utility model: an arc-shaped pressing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the return spring.

[0012] As a further solution of the utility model: a folding receiving opening is provided on the surface of the tethered ball receiving and releasing box.

[0013] As a further solution of the utility model: a helium inflation port is arranged on the surface of the tethered ball body.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. Through the folding and retracting assembly of the tethered ball, when the tethered ball body needs to be further folded and retracted, the helium inside the tethered ball body can be recovered first, and then the gear motor is started to drive the second gear to rotate, thereby driving the first gear and the retracting shaft to rotate, and the tethered ball body is automatically folded and retracted. This configuration improves the existing problem that when folding and retracting the tethered ball, multiple people are still required to operate, and the folding process is relatively cumbersome and the folding convenience is poor. At the same time, the tethered ball retracting box can ensure that there is less friction between the tethered ball body and other equipment, thereby providing better protection for the tethered ball body after storage;

[0016] 2. Through the provision of the tethered ball smoothing component, when the tethered ball body is folded and retracted, the arc-shaped pressure plate can always be in close contact with the surface of the tethered ball body under the elastic force of the reset spring, the guide rod and the guide rod sleeve, and press and smooth it. This setting can prevent the tethered ball body from loosening when it is retracted and released, and can also assist in discharging the remaining helium inside the tethered ball body, thereby reducing the space occupied by the tethered ball body and helping to improve the compactness of the tethered ball body when it is retracted and released, which is very practical.
