[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a probe hot air balloon according to one embodiment of the present invention;

[0013] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of a probe balloon.

[0014] Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of a probe balloon connecting to another hot air balloon.

[0015] In the diagram: 1. Hanging basket; 2. Circular concave mirror; 3. Through hole; 4. Convex mirror; 5. Support rod; 10. Hot air balloon; 11. Cable. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the probe balloon mainly includes a hot air balloon 10 and a basket 1. The basket 1 is connected to the bottom of the hot air balloon 10. A ring of concave mirrors 2 is installed on the outer periphery of the basket 1, and multiple through holes 3 are formed on the circumference of the basket 1, extending into its interior. At the same time, multiple convex mirrors 4 are fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the basket 1, with the mirror surface of the convex mirrors 4 facing the ring of concave mirrors 2. Each convex mirror 4 is located at the focal point of the ring of concave mirrors 2, and the number of convex mirrors 4 is the same as the number of through holes 3, with each convex mirror 4 corresponding to a specific through hole 3. This correspondence means that the light reflected by each convex mirror 4 can enter the interior of the basket 1 through each through hole 3.

[0018] Preferably, the annular concave mirror 2 is made of thin sheet iron and has an aluminum-plated thin film on its surface.

[0019] Preferably, by appropriately setting the positions of the annular concave mirror 2 and each convex mirror 4, each through hole 3 can be formed on the annular concave mirror 2.
