Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Beidou weather balloon leveling tester, specifically a Beidou weather balloon leveling tester. Background Technology

[0002] The Beidou sounding balloon drift tester is a device that combines Beidou satellite navigation technology and meteorological sounding technology. It is used for meteorological observation and data collection in the stratosphere. Its main function is to achieve real-time monitoring of atmospheric parameters through a tester mounted on a sounding balloon, and to obtain meteorological data over a longer period and a wider area through drift technology.

[0003] However, during the test, strong winds at high altitudes can cause the drift tester to collide and become entangled, which not only affects meteorological observations but also damages the drift tester. Furthermore, during the descent, there is no guarantee that the drift tester will not be damaged or lost, making it difficult to recover the drift tester. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a Beidou weather balloon drift tester to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as collisions and entanglements of drift testers at high altitudes, which not only affect meteorological observations but also damage the drift tester. Furthermore, during the descent, it is impossible to guarantee that the drift tester will not be damaged or lost, thus making it difficult to recover the drift tester.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a Beidou weather balloon drift tester, comprising a weather balloon body, a fixed rod rotatably connected to the lower surface of the weather balloon body, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed rod, a fixed ring fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod, a connecting rope fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed ring, a drift tester body fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rope, a limit ring fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rope, a support rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed ring, a storage plate fixedly connected to one end of the support rod, a sealing plate rotatably connected to the upper surface of the storage plate, and a bottom groove formed on the lower surface of the storage plate.

[0006] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting ring, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block, a torsion spring is wound around the outer surface of the connecting shaft, a rotating column is fixedly connected to one end of the torsion spring, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating column, an air collecting groove is hinged to one end of the telescopic rod, a top rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the air collecting groove, and a top plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top rod.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing rod is rod-shaped and rotatably connected to the lower surface of the weather balloon body. The fixing rod and the fixing ring are connected by six sets of connecting rods. Its function is that when encountering strong airflow, the airflow will impact the fixing ring, connecting rope, limiting ring and the body of the drift tester, thereby causing the fixing rod to rotate on the lower surface of the weather balloon body, thereby reducing the impact on the body of the drift tester.

[0008] Preferably, both the fixing ring and the limiting ring are ring-shaped and are fixedly connected by connecting ropes. The connecting ropes and the float tester body are fixedly connected in six groups below the fixing rings. Their function is to prevent the connecting ropes from getting tangled due to the impact of airflow under the limiting effect of the limiting rings, so as to prevent the float tester body from colliding with each other and causing damage to the float tester body.

[0009] Preferably, the storage plate is in the shape of a circular plate, the inner side of the storage plate is hollow, and a parachute is provided on the inner side of the storage plate. The bottom of the parachute is fixedly connected to the inner side of the storage plate. Its function is that when landing, the sealing plate will rotate and open, so that the top of the storage plate will no longer be blocked by the sealing plate. Thus, under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate will open from the top of the storage plate.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing block is block-shaped, and there are two sets of fixing blocks. The connecting shaft is rod-shaped and fixedly connected between the two sets of fixing blocks. The rotating column is cylindrical and hollow on its inner side. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting shaft. The torsion spring is helical and fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating column and one end of the connecting shaft. Its function is that when the device descends, the air collecting trough will be impacted by the airflow at the bottom, causing the air collecting trough to move upward, causing the telescopic rod and the rotating column to rotate, thereby extending and retracting the telescopic rod. At the same time, the rotating column will rotate between the two sets of fixing blocks, causing the torsion spring to deform.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic rod is rod-shaped, and there are six sets of telescopic rods. One end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the rotating column, and the other end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the air collecting groove. The air collecting groove is frustum-shaped, and its lower end is hollow. The top rod is rod-shaped, and the top plate is circular. Its function is that when the air collecting groove moves upward, it will drive the top rod and the top plate to enter the interior of the storage plate from the bottom groove opened on the lower surface of the storage plate. This causes the top plate to impact the sealing plate, causing the sealing plate to rotate and open. Under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate opens from the top of the storage plate. When the air collecting groove rises to the highest point, the telescopic rod and the rotating column will quickly return to their original positions under the elastic action of the torsion spring, thereby driving the air collecting groove to return to its original position. Thus, through the action of the parachute, the body of the horizontal drift tester is prevented from being damaged or lost during the fall, thus facilitating its recovery.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By filling the weather balloon with gas, the weather balloon rises, which in turn lifts the device. When encountering strong airflow, the airflow impacts the fixing ring, connecting rope, limiting ring, and the drift tester body. This causes the fixing rod to rotate on the lower surface of the weather balloon body, thus reducing the impact on the drift tester body. At the same time, the limiting ring prevents the connecting rope from tangling due to the impact of the airflow, which could cause the drift tester body to collide with each other, resulting in damage to the drift tester body and affecting meteorological observation.

[0014] 2. When the device descends, the air collection trough is impacted by the airflow at the bottom, causing it to move upwards. This causes the telescopic rod and rotating column to rotate, which in turn drives the top rod and top plate into the storage plate through the groove on the lower surface of the storage plate. The top plate then impacts the sealing plate, causing it to rotate and open. Under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate opens from the top of the storage plate. When the air collection trough rises to its highest point, the elasticity of the torsion spring causes the telescopic rod and rotating column to quickly return to their original positions, thus resetting the air collection trough. The parachute prevents the float tester from being damaged or lost during descent, facilitating its recovery. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The fixing rod 2 is rod-shaped and rotatably connected to the lower surface of the weather balloon body 1. The fixing rod 2 is connected to the fixing ring 4 via six sets of connecting rods 3. Its function is to mitigate the impact of strong airflow on the fixing ring 4, connecting rope 5, limiting ring 6, and the float tester body 7, causing the fixing rod 2 to rotate on the lower surface of the weather balloon body 1. Both the fixing ring 4 and the limiting ring 6 are annular in shape and are fixedly connected by connecting rope 5. The connecting rope 5 and the float tester body 7 are fixedly connected in six sets below the fixing ring 4. Their function is to prevent the connecting ropes 5 from tangling due to the impact of airflow, thus preventing the float tester body 7 from colliding and being damaged.

[0026] The storage plate 9 is in the shape of a circular plate. The inner side of the storage plate 9 is hollow. A parachute is installed on the inner side of the storage plate 9, and the bottom of the parachute is fixedly connected to the inner side of the storage plate 9. Its function is that when landing, the sealing plate 10 will rotate and open, so that the top of the storage plate 9 will no longer be blocked by the sealing plate 10. Thus, under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate 9 will open from the top of the storage plate 9.

[0027] The fixing block 12 is block-shaped and there are two sets of fixing blocks 12. The connecting shaft 13 is rod-shaped and is fixedly connected between the two sets of fixing blocks 12. The rotating column 14 is cylindrical and hollow inside. The rotating column 14 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting shaft 13. The torsion spring 15 is spiral-shaped and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating column 14 and one end of the connecting shaft 13. Its function is that when the device is lowered, the air collecting groove 17 will be impacted by the airflow at the bottom, which will cause the air collecting groove 17 to move upward, causing the telescopic rod 16 and the rotating column 14 to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic rod 16 to extend and retract. At the same time, the rotating column 14 will rotate between the two sets of fixing blocks 12, causing the torsion spring 15 to deform. The telescopic rod 16 is rod-shaped, and there are six sets of telescopic rods 16. One end of the telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 14, and the other end of the telescopic rod 16 is hinged to the air collecting groove 17. The air collecting groove 17 is frustum-shaped, and the lower end of the air collecting groove 17 is hollow. The top rod 18 is rod-shaped, and the top plate 19 is circular. Its function is that when the air collecting groove 17 moves upward, it will drive the top rod 18 and the top plate 19 from the bottom groove 11 opened on the lower surface of the storage plate 9 into the interior of the storage plate 9, thereby making the top plate 19 will impact the sealing plate 10, causing the sealing plate 10 to rotate and open. Under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate 9 will open from the top of the storage plate 9. When the air collection slot 17 rises to the highest point, under the elastic action of the torsion spring 15, the telescopic rod 16 and the rotating column 14 will quickly return to their original positions, thereby driving the air collection slot 17 to return to its original position. Thus, through the action of the parachute, the body of the horizontal drift tester 7 is prevented from being damaged or lost during the fall, thus facilitating its recovery.

[0028] Working principle: A fixed rod 2 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the sounding balloon body 1. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed rod 2. A fixed ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod 3. A connecting rope 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed ring 4. A leveling tester body 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rope 5. A limit ring 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rope 5. A support rod 8 is fixed to the inner side of the fixed ring 4. A storage plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 8. A sealing plate 10 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the storage plate 9. A bottom groove 11 is opened on the lower surface of the storage plate 9. By feeding the sounding balloon... Gas is filled into the balloon body 1, causing the weather balloon body 1 to rise, which in turn drives the device to rise. When encountering strong airflow, the airflow will impact the fixing ring 4, connecting rope 5, limiting ring 6, and drift tester body 7, causing the fixing rod 2 to rotate on the lower surface of the weather balloon body 1, thereby reducing the impact on the drift tester body 7. At the same time, under the limiting effect of the limiting ring 6, the connecting rope 5 is prevented from becoming entangled due to the impact of the airflow, which would cause the drift tester body 7 to collide with each other, thereby damaging the drift tester body 7 and affecting the observation of meteorology.

[0029] A fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting ring 6. A connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block 12. A torsion spring 15 is wound around the outer surface of the connecting shaft 13. A rotating column 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the torsion spring 15. A telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating column 14. An air collecting groove 17 is hinged to one end of the telescopic rod 16. A top rod 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the air collecting groove 17. A top plate 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top rod 18. When the device descends, the air collecting groove 17 will be impacted by the airflow at the bottom, causing the air collecting groove 17 to move upward, causing the telescopic rod 16 and the rotating column 14 to rotate. The top rod 18 and top plate 19 are driven into the storage plate 9 through the bottom groove 11 on the lower surface of the storage plate 9. This causes the top plate 19 to impact the sealing plate 10, causing the sealing plate 10 to rotate and open. Under the action of the airflow at the bottom, the parachute inside the storage plate 9 opens from the top of the storage plate 9. When the air collection slot 17 rises to its highest point, the elastic action of the torsion spring 15 causes the telescopic rod 16 and the rotating column 14 to quickly return to their original positions, thereby driving the air collection slot 17 to return to its original position. Thus, the parachute prevents the float tester body 7 from being damaged or lost during descent, making it easy to recover.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
