Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sounding balloons, and more specifically, to a strong wind launcher for sounding balloons. Background Art
[0002] Sounding balloons are key tools for collecting high-altitude data in meteorological monitoring. They are filled with hydrogen or helium, and a sonde is suspended from the bottom of the balloon via a connecting rope. After the sounding balloon is released, the sonde is carried to high altitudes to measure meteorological elements such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction. The balloons are crucial for weather forecasting and climate research.
[0003] At present, the bottom opening of the sounding balloon is directly tied with a rope, and the sonde is hung at the bottom of the balloon through the connecting rope. When moving the sounding balloon outdoors, the operator needs to directly grasp the binding part of the bottom opening of the sounding balloon with his hands. In strong winds, the sounding balloon encounters great resistance and it is difficult to hold the balloon firmly. The balloon may be damaged or exploded under strong winds, which may easily cause injuries to the palms holding it. In addition, strong winds may easily cause the hands to slip and loosen the balloon binding part, causing the hands to grab the sonde connecting rope, which may easily scratch the palms. At this time, the sounding balloon will spin, making it difficult to release the balloon stably. This situation will cause the sonde connecting rope to be entangled, and the sonde will swing severely after being released, affecting the accuracy of data collection.
[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that the sounding balloons all have bottom openings that are directly tied with a binding rope, and then the sonde is hung at the bottom of the balloon through a connecting rope. When moving the sounding balloon outdoors, the operator needs to directly grasp the binding part of the bottom opening of the sounding balloon with his hands. In strong winds, the sounding balloon encounters great resistance and it is difficult to hold the balloon firmly. The balloon may be damaged or exploded under strong winds, which may easily cause injuries to the palms holding it. In addition, strong winds may easily cause the hands to slip and loosen the binding part of the balloon, causing the hands to grab the sonde connecting rope, and the palms may be easily scratched by the connecting rope. At this time, the sounding balloon will spin, making it difficult to release the balloon stably. This situation will cause the sonde connecting rope to be entangled, and the sonde will swing severely after being released, affecting the accuracy of data collection.
[0005] In view of this, we propose a strong wind launcher for sounding balloons. Utility Model Content
[0006] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a strong-wind balloon launcher for sounding balloons, which solves the problem that the sounding balloons in the above-mentioned background technology all have bottom openings that are directly tied with a binding rope, and then the sounding instrument is hung at the bottom of the balloon through a connecting rope. When the sounding balloon is moved outdoors, the operator needs to directly grasp the binding part of the bottom opening of the sounding balloon with his hands. In strong wind weather, the sounding balloon encounters great resistance and it is difficult to hold the balloon firmly. The balloon may be damaged and exploded under strong winds, which may easily cause injuries to the palms holding the balloon. In addition, strong winds may easily cause the hands to slip and loosen the balloon binding part, causing the hands to grab the sounding instrument connecting rope, and the palms may be easily scratched by the connecting rope. At this time, the sounding balloon will spin, making it difficult to release the balloon stably. This situation may cause the sounding instrument connecting rope to be entangled, and the sounding instrument may swing severely after being released, affecting the accuracy of data collection. The technical effect is achieved.
