Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of beacon balloon control, and particularly relates to a balloon timing automatic detonation and fixing device. Background Art

[0002] When it is necessary to calibrate equipment by releasing beacon balloons at sea, a beacon capable of transmitting radio signals is fixed inside the balloon through a rubber band. The balloon is filled with helium so that the balloon floats in the air. The measurement and control equipment calibrates the equipment by tracking the beacon and the balloon. After the beacon balloon is released, it rises into the air under the action of air buoyancy and gradually moves away from the release position under the influence of the wind. The balloon is no longer controlled after being released, and it may fly into the airspace of other countries or fall in densely populated areas, posing potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to detonate and self-destruct the beacon balloon so that it falls into the sea to solve the above problems. However, the current balloon detonation devices have problems such as complex structures and complicated disassembly and assembly.

[0031] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0032] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 As shown, the utility model provides a balloon timing automatic detonation and fixing device, comprising a heating mechanism 1, a heating controller 2 and two connecting structures 3;

[0033] The heating mechanism 1 includes a main body 11 and a heating element 12 fixedly arranged on the main body 11. The main body 11 is a structure that supports the heating element 12 to prevent the heating element 12 from being subjected to tension, thereby improving its stability in use. The heating controller 2 is used to control the heating of the heating element 12. After the heating element 12 is heated, the beacon balloon 4 can be detonated to prevent the beacon balloon 4 from drifting away from the target area, thereby preventing it from being unable to be recovered and affecting the environment, or preventing the beacon balloon 4 from flying into the airspace of another country, or falling in a densely populated area to cause safety hazards and other problems.

[0034] Specifically, the heating controller 2 can be used to remotely control the heating of the heating element 12, can also be used to control the heating of the heating element 12 at a fixed time, and can also control the heating of the heating element 12 according to the position of the beacon balloon 4 as a trigger condition, for example, when the beacon balloon 4 leaves the set range, the heating element 12 is controlled to heat;

[0035] The two connecting structures 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the body 11, and the two connecting structures 3 are respectively used to connect two different columns 41 of the beacon balloon 4, that is, the other end of one of the connecting structures 3 is connected to one of the columns 41 on the beacon balloon 4, and the other connecting structure 3 is connected to the other column 41 on the beacon balloon 4, wherein the column 41 on the beacon balloon 4 is a structure provided on the beacon balloon 4, and during production, the column 41 and the ball skin 42 are integrally formed, and the column 41 is used to connect the rope used to fix the beacon balloon 4, so the column 41 generally has multiple;

[0036] Reference Figure 3When the beacon balloon 4 is in an inflated state, the main body 11 is tightened by the two connecting structures 3 and the heating element 12 is in close contact with the ball skin 42 of the beacon balloon 4. When the two connecting structures 3 are in a tightened state, the connecting line between the main body 11 and the two connecting structures 3 is deformed in the direction of the connecting line (straight line) formed by the two columns 41. Since the ball skin 42 is spherical, the connecting line between the main body 11 and the two connecting structures 3 will be blocked by the ball skin 42 after deformation, thereby making the main body 11 close to the ball skin 42, and finally making the heating element 12 close to the ball skin 42, so that when the heating controller 2 controls the heating element 12 to generate heat, the close ball skin 42 can be directly heated to make the beacon balloon 4 explode.

[0037] The balloon timed automatic detonation and fixing device provided by the utility model has a simple structure, and only includes three parts: a heating mechanism 1, a heating controller 2 and a connecting structure 3. It also makes full use of the column 41 structure on the beacon balloon 4, so that the heating element 12 can be tightly attached to the ball skin 42 of the beacon balloon 4, thereby achieving the function of the heating element 12 heating up and causing the beacon balloon 4 to explode and self-destruct, effectively solving the problem that ordinary tape cannot effectively fix the heating element 12 to the ball skin 42, and providing a beacon balloon 4 detonation structure with a simple structure, easy installation, and stable and reliable use.

[0038] In one embodiment, the connection structure 3 is a rope. The use of the rope as the connection structure 3 has the characteristics of simple structure, low cost, and convenient connection and assembly. In addition, the rope is preferably a non-elastic rope to improve stability. During specific installation, one end of the rope is fixedly connected to the body 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the column 41.

[0039] In other embodiments, the connection structure 3 can be made of a deformable soft material consistent with the rope, and can also be made of a connecting rod with one end hinged to the column 41 and the other end of the connecting rod fixedly connected to the column 41.

[0040] In one of the preferred embodiments, the connecting structure 3 includes a fixed lasso 31 fixed on the main body 11 and a movable lasso 32 detachably mounted on the fixed lasso 31 and the column 41. The fixed lasso 31 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the main body 11 and presents a ring-shaped structure. One end of the movable lasso 32 is fixedly connected to the fixed lasso 31, and the other end is connected to the main body 11, thereby further simplifying the connection difficulty of the connecting structure 3 and the main body 11.

[0041] In one embodiment, the movable noose 32 is formed by tying the head and tail of an elastic rope, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the perimeter of the movable noose 32, and further facilitating the adjustment of the degree of close contact between the heating element 12 and the balloon skin 42. Moreover, using an elastic rope can not only make the heating mechanism 1 close to the spherical surface, but also adapt to the size change during the inflation process of the beacon balloon and the volume expansion change of the beacon balloon during ascent, which can improve the adaptability during installation, and make the heating mechanism 1 close to the spherical surface during the ascent of the beacon balloon, thereby increasing the self-destruction success rate.

[0042] In one embodiment, the heating element 12 has a loop structure, and the heating element 12 is wound around the outside of the body 11. With this arrangement, even if any side of the outside of the body 11 approaches the balloon skin 42, there is a heating element 12 in contact with the balloon skin 42, which can increase the success rate of the heating element 12 detonating the beacon balloon 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, the heating controller 2 includes a connecting wire 21 and a controller assembly 22. One end of the connecting wire 21 is arranged on the body 11 and electrically connected to the heating element 12, and the other end is electrically connected to the controller assembly 22. The connecting wire 21 arranged on the body 11 can provide connection stability, and the electrical connection between the connecting wire 21 and the heating element 12 is used to supply power to the heating element 12.

[0044] In one embodiment, the controller assembly 22 is fixed at the sealing position of the beacon balloon 4 or on other cylinders 41;

[0045] And when the beacon balloon 4 is in an inflated state, the connecting wire 21 is in a taut state. In this embodiment, on the one hand, it can avoid the problem that the controller assembly 22 shakes during the flight of the beacon balloon 4, thereby pulling the heating element 12 away from the surface of the balloon skin 42. Moreover, when the connecting wire 21 is in a taut state, at this time, the body 11 is three-point positioned, which can further improve the position stability of the heating element 12.

[0046] In one embodiment, the controller assembly 22 includes a power supply 221 and a relay 222 that are connected in series with the heating element 12 to form a circuit. The connecting wire 21 is part of the wire forming the circuit, and the relay 222 is used to connect or disconnect the heating element 12 and the power supply 221;

[0047] The controller assembly 22 further includes a timer 223 that forms a loop with the power supply 221 and the relay 222; when the timer 223 is triggered, the relay 222 connects the power supply 221 and the heating element 12. The timer 223 can be set with a timing time by a knob. In this embodiment, the detonation of the beacon balloon 4 is achieved by using the timing function, which can realize that the beacon balloon 4 explodes at a set time point after the calibration is completed, reducing the safety risk and simplifying the control difficulty at the same time.

[0048] The connection relationship between the controller assembly 22 and the heating element 12 is as shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, during the timing process of the timer 223, the output wire is conducting, controlling the relay 222 to be in the suction state. The output part between A and B of the relay 222 is conducting, and the part between B and C is in the open state. No current passes through the heating element 12 and it does not heat up. When the set time is reached, a timing control output signal is sent to disconnect the power supply of the relay 222. The relay 222 is disconnected, and the part between B and C is in the conducting state. The heating element 12 is powered on. Under the action of the current, the temperature of the heating element 12 rises rapidly, causing the balloon skin 42 in contact with the heating element 12 to melt and crack, and the beacon balloon 4 explodes under the internal gas pressure.

[0049] In one embodiment, the heating element 12 is a resistance heating wire, which has the characteristics of simple structure and low cost, and can detonate the beacon balloon 4 well at the same time.

[0050] In one embodiment, the cylinder 41 of the beacon balloon 4 is a cylindrical structure, and an installation hole 411 is provided at the end of the cylinder 41. This structure is a conventional structure of the beacon balloon 4, which can simplify the connection difficulty between the connection structure 3 and the cylinder 41.

[0051] The above description is only this embodiment and does not impose any limitations on the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes, modifications or equivalents to the technical solutions of the present invention by using the disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical solutions of the present invention.
