[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] For example 1, please refer to Figure 1-6 , a windproof meteorological sounding ball releasing device comprises a ball placing box 1 and a box door 11. The box door 11 is arranged on the surface of the front end of the ball placing box 1. An air filling bottle 2 for inflating the balloon is provided on one side of the ball placing box 1. The air outlet end of the air filling bottle 2 is connected with a vent pipe 21. The other end of the vent pipe 21 passes through the surface of the ball placing box 1 and extends into the ball placing box 1. A closing component 4 is also slidably connected to the top of the ball placing box 1. A wind meter 12 is also installed on the side of the ball placing box 1 close to the air filling bottle 2. A placing plate 13 is installed in the ball placing box 1. An auxiliary inflation component is provided on the placing plate 13. The extending end of the vent pipe 21 is connected to the auxiliary inflation component. A line-releasing component 3 for tying the balloon is also provided on the placing plate 13.

[0028] Before use, first install the ball box 1 in an open outdoor location. When it needs to be used, open the box door 11, fix the sounding balloon and the auxiliary inflation component. After fixing, start the inflation bottle 2, and the gas in the inflation bottle 2 enters the auxiliary inflation component through the ventilation pipe 21 to inflate the balloon. At this time, the closing component 4 is in a closed state. After inflation, use the line-releasing component 3 to tie the balloon tightly to avoid air leakage, and then connect the weather detection box to the balloon. Detect the wind speed through the anemometer 12. When the appropriate release conditions are reached, adjust the closing component 4 to open, remove the balloon from the auxiliary inflation component, and let the balloon fly out through the top of the ball box 1.

[0029] For example 2, please refer to Figure 1-5 The auxiliary inflation component includes an inflation port 22, which is fixedly connected to the placement plate 13. The extended end of the vent pipe 21 is connected to the inflation port 22, wherein a clamping groove 24 is provided on the outer surface of the inflation port 22, and a ring sleeve 23 is clamped in the clamping groove 24. A sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the ring sleeve 23, and one end of the ring sleeve 23 is also fixedly connected to a fixing sticker 25. The side of the fixing sticker 25 close to the ring sleeve 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the ring sleeve 23. The line-releasing component 3 includes two fixing Plate 31, the two fixed plates 31 are mounted on the placement plate 13, a rotating drum 32 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 31, a connecting rope 33 is wound around the rotating drum 32, the pay-off assembly 3 also includes a pay-off plate 34, the pay-off plate 34 is mounted between the two fixed plates 31 and the inflation port 22, a pay-off groove 35 is provided on the pay-off plate 34, the end of the connecting rope 33 away from the rotating drum 32 is passed through the pay-off groove 35, and a fixing groove 36 for fixing the connecting rope 33 is also provided on the pay-off plate 34;

[0030] When fixing the balloon, first remove the ring sleeve 23 on the inflation port 22, put the inflation end of the balloon on the inflation port 22, and then re-engage the ring sleeve 23 on the clamping groove 24 and fix the ring sleeve 23 on the clamping groove 24 with the fixing sticker 25. After fixing, open the inflation bottle 2 to start inflation;

[0031] When the inflation is completed, the inflation bottle 2 is closed, and the connecting rope 33 on the wire-releasing plate 34 is pulled to remove the connecting rope 33 from the fixing groove 36, so that the connecting rope 33 enters the wire-releasing groove 35, and the connecting rope 33 is pulled out from the rotating drum 32. After the connecting rope 33 is pulled to a suitable length, the connecting rope 33 is clamped on the fixing groove 36 again to fix the connecting rope 33. The connecting rope 33 is cut with scissors to bundle the balloon, and another section of the connecting rope 33 is taken to connect the balloon to the weather detection box.

[0032] When releasing the balloon, the ring sleeve 23 is removed from the clamping groove 24 again, and the closing assembly 4 is opened. The balloon is no longer fixed by the ring sleeve 23 and floats upward, driving the weather detection box to fly out from the top of the balloon box 1.

[0033] For example three, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 The closing assembly 4 includes two closing plates 41, and the two closing plates 41 are both slidably connected to the top of the ball box 1. Synchronous racks 42 are symmetrically installed at the bottom centers of the two closing plates 41. An adjusting gear 43 is provided between the two synchronous racks 42, and the two synchronous racks 42 are meshed with the adjusting gear 43. The closing assembly 4 also includes a driving motor 44, which is installed in the inner wall of the ball box 1 near the top. The output end of the driving motor 44 is fixed to the adjusting gear 43 through a coupling. Auxiliary sliders 45 are installed on the side of the bottom of the two closing plates 41 away from the synchronous racks 42. Two slide grooves 14 are also provided on the top of the ball box 1. The auxiliary slider 45 and the synchronous rack 42 slide in the adjacent slide grooves 14 respectively.

[0034] When releasing the balls, the driving motor 44 is first started, so that the driving motor 44 drives the adjusting gear 43 to rotate. The adjusting gear 43 rotates and drives the two synchronous racks 42 to move. The two closing plates 41 are driven by the synchronous racks 42 to move away from each other, thereby opening the top of the ball box 1 and allowing the balloons to fly out smoothly. At the same time, by setting the parallel opening mode, the influence of the closing plates 41 on the flying of the balloons is minimized.

[0035] When the balloon drives the weather detection box to fly out, the driving motor 44 is controlled to drive the adjusting gear 43 to reverse, so that the adjusting gear 43 drives the two synchronous racks 42 to move in the opposite direction, and the two closing plates 41 move toward each other, so that the top of the ball box 1 is closed again.

[0036] Working principle: Before use, first install the ball box 1 in an open outdoor location. When it is needed, open the box door 11, remove the ring sleeve 23 on the inflation port 22, and put the inflation end of the balloon on the inflation port 22. After putting it on, re-attach the ring sleeve 23 to the clamping groove 24 and fix the ring sleeve 23 to the clamping groove 24 with the fixing sticker 25. After fixing it, open the inflation bottle 2 to start inflation;

[0037] When the inflation is completed, the inflation bottle 2 is closed, and the connecting rope 33 on the wire-releasing plate 34 is pulled to remove the connecting rope 33 from the fixing groove 36, so that the connecting rope 33 enters the wire-releasing groove 35, and the connecting rope 33 is pulled out from the rotating drum 32. After the connecting rope 33 is pulled to a suitable length, the connecting rope 33 is clamped on the fixing groove 36 again to fix the connecting rope 33. The connecting rope 33 is cut with scissors to bundle the balloon, and another section of the connecting rope 33 is taken to connect the balloon to the weather detection box.

[0038] When releasing the balls, first start the driving motor 44 so that the driving motor 44 drives the adjusting gear 43 to rotate, and the adjusting gear 43 rotates to drive the two synchronous racks 42 to move, so that the two closing plates 41 move in the direction away from each other under the drive of the synchronous racks 42, thereby opening the top of the ball box 1 and allowing the balloons to fly out smoothly. At the same time, by setting a parallel opening method, the influence of the closing plate 41 on the flying out of the balloons is minimized to the greatest extent. After the balloons fly out, control the driving motor 44 to drive the adjusting gear 43 to reverse, so that the two synchronous racks 42 drive the two closing plates 41 to move in the direction close to each other, and close the top of the ball box 1.
