[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] In existing technologies, communication and detection technologies for offshore platforms rely on ordinary satellites. Due to the long distance between ordinary satellites and offshore platforms, the signal transmission time for communication and detection is long, resulting in signal delays and significant link losses. This can lead to signal attenuation, affecting communication quality and compromising the life support capabilities of offshore platforms.

[0040] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a combined sea-air system, see reference. Figure 4 This includes offshore platform 1 and aerial platform 1. (See also...) Figures 1-3 The aerial platform includes the main body 10, a buoyancy mechanism, a leveling mechanism 30, a towing mechanism 40, and a radar module 50.

[0041] Furthermore, the body 10 is hollow inside. In this embodiment, the body 10 is configured as a flattened sphere with protrusions on both sides. In other embodiments, the body 10 can also be configured as a sphere or other streamlined body. Specifically, multiple bodies 10 can be provided, and multiple bodies 10 can be connected by connectors to increase the total area of ​​the aerial platform to accommodate more functional mechanisms.

[0042] Furthermore, the buoyancy mechanism includes a compression and inflation component 21, which is located on the body 10 and communicates with its interior. The compression and inflation component 21 can fill the body 10 with gas, enabling the body 10 to float vertically. Specifically, the compression and inflation component 21 is a compressed helium tank located at the bottom of the body 10. Helium has a low density and stable chemical properties, making it safer than hydrogen.

[0043] Specifically, the buoyancy mechanism also includes an exhaust port and an exhaust valve. The exhaust port is located in the body 10 and communicates with the interior of the body 10. The exhaust valve is located in the exhaust port to open or close the exhaust port. When the height of the body 10 increases, the external pressure decreases, and the helium expands, resulting in a reduction in the usable space inside the body 10. When the volume inside the body 10 is completely occupied by helium, the body 10 will reach its limit height. If it is necessary to descend, the body 10 can release some of the helium. In an emergency, if the internal pressure of the body 10 is too high, gas can be released to protect the structural safety of the body 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the horizontal adjustment mechanism 30 includes four propulsion components 31, which are evenly spaced around the body 10 along an axis in a first direction. These components drive the body 10 to change position in the horizontal direction, which is consistent with the vertical direction. Specifically, the propulsion components 31 are located at the bottom of the body 10. In this embodiment, the propulsion component 31 includes a cantilever 311 and a propeller 312. The cantilever 311 is connected to the body 10, and the propeller 312 is rotatably mounted on the cantilever 311 with its axis of rotation extending horizontally. The rotation of the propeller 312 generates outward airflow, thereby causing the body 10 to move in the opposite direction of the airflow. In other embodiments, the propulsion component 31 can be configured as a jet pipe, which propels the body 10 in the opposite direction of the jet direction by expelling air outward.

[0045] Specifically, the horizontal adjustment mechanism 30 also includes a power chamber 32, which is disposed on the body 10 and electrically connected to the propulsion assembly 31. Specifically, the power chamber 32 is located at the bottom of the body 10. The horizontal adjustment mechanism 30 also includes a solar panel 33, which is disposed on the body 10 and electrically connected to the power chamber 32. In this embodiment, the solar panel 33 is a flexible panel and is attached to the body 10. Specifically, the flexible solar panel 33 is attached to the top surface and peripheral wall of the body 10, increasing the area that the solar panel 33 can be illuminated, increasing the probability and duration of sunlight, and increasing energy storage efficiency. In other embodiments, the solar panel 33 may also be rigid and disposed on the top surface of the body 10.

[0046] Furthermore, the traction mechanism 40 includes a first connecting seat 41 and a first connecting member 42. One end of the first connecting member 42 is connected to the main body 10, and the other end is wound around and connected to the first connecting seat 41. The first connecting member 42 can change the winding length on the first connecting seat 41 to drive the main body 10 to change its position in the vertical direction. Specifically, the first connecting seat 41 is located on the offshore platform 1. In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 41 can be configured as a winch, and the first connecting member 42 can be configured as a rope. When the aerial platform is not in use, the first connecting seat 41 is locked, and the rope is used to restrain the main body 10 to prevent the main body 10 from drifting away. When it is necessary to lower the aerial platform, the first connecting seat 41 is rotated to wind up the rope, driving the main body 10 to descend.

[0047] Specifically, the traction mechanism 40 also includes a second connecting seat 43, which is located on the main body 10. One end of the first connecting member 42 is wound around the first connecting seat 41, and the other end is wound around the second connecting seat 43. In this embodiment, the second connecting seat 43 is also configured as a winch, and the rope can be completely wound up by the second connecting seat 43 to allow the aerial platform to move. When the aerial platform needs to return, the second connecting seat 43 releases the rope, and ground personnel wind the rope back into the first connecting seat 41.

[0048] Specifically, the traction mechanism 40 further includes a connecting anchor 44 and a second connecting member 45. The connecting anchor 44 is disposed on the body 10, and multiple connecting anchors 44 and second connecting members 45 are correspondingly provided. One end of all second connecting members 45 is connected to the corresponding connecting anchor 44, and the other end is connected to the second connecting seat 43. Providing multiple connecting anchors 44 can disperse the tension on the body 10 and avoid damage to the body 10. In this embodiment, four connecting anchors 44 are provided at intervals. In this embodiment, the second connecting member 45 can be configured as a rod and hinged to the connecting anchor 44.

[0049] Furthermore, radar module 50 is located on the main body 10, and radar module 50 operates on the offshore platform 1. In this embodiment, the signal coverage radius of radar module 50 in the stratosphere at an altitude of 20 km is 140 km, which can completely cover the offshore platform 1. Specifically, radar module 50 includes air intelligence radar, maritime surveillance radar, weather radar, and ground-penetrating radar, etc. The above radar modules 50 can be selectively located on the main body 10, and will not be listed one by one here.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
