Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balloon inflation technology, specifically to a weather balloon inflation device. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of aerobatic device, balloons are a primary tool used in upper-air observation. Compared to other aerobatic devices (engines, rockets, satellites, etc.), they are characterized by not requiring power, low cost, and ease of use. Meteorological balloons have a wide range of applications. In the 1960s, large, non-inflatable, thin-film plastic balloons were increasingly used in boundary layer exploration, global horizontal observation at a fixed altitude, and stratospheric exploration experiments. Meteorological balloons require inflation before use.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202122451736.9 discloses an inflation device for a weather balloon used for meteorological observation, including an operating platform and a support plate disposed on one side of the operating platform. An inflation assembly is disposed on the support plate, and a limiting assembly for fixing the weather balloon is disposed on the top of the operating platform. The inflation assembly includes an air pump disposed on the top of the support plate, with an air supply pipe connected to the output end of the air pump. The end of the air supply pipe away from the air pump extends to the top of the operating platform and is connected to an inflation head. The limiting assembly includes multiple sets of connecting plates disposed on the top of the operating platform, with a fixing plate slidably disposed above the connecting plates. A limiting plate is disposed inside the fixing plate, and a fixing block is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate. By setting the limiting assembly, the weather balloon can be prevented from rolling during inflation. By setting a pressure sensor, the probability of the weather balloon bursting during inflation can be reduced, making it highly practical.

[0004] However, the following problems still exist in this technical solution: the position of the fixing plate can only be moved by rotating multiple sets of bolts, which is too cumbersome and wastes time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a weather balloon inflation device. The device can limit the movement of the weather balloon through a limiting mechanism, which is simple to operate and saves time. Furthermore, the device can be disassembled to inspect and maintain the inflation pump inside the base plate, thus extending the service life of this invention and solving the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a weather balloon inflation device, including a base plate, an inflation pump for inflating the weather balloon is provided inside the base plate, and a limiting mechanism for limiting the position of the weather balloon is provided on the top of the base plate.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes two limiting plates respectively disposed on the top two sides of the base plate, and a first support frame is provided on both sides inside the base plate. One of the first support frames is externally threaded with a bidirectional threaded rod, and both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod are threaded with a fixing plate. The top of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate for limiting the weather balloon.

[0008] Preferably, a second support frame is fixedly provided inside the base plate. A rotating shaft is movably connected inside the second support frame via a bearing. Gears are threadedly connected to both the rotating shaft and the bidirectional threaded rod. The two gears mesh with each other. A motor is fixedly provided at one end of the second support frame to drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided inside another first support frame, the limiting rod passing through one side of the fixing plate, for limiting the fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the base plate is provided with a protective mechanism to protect the limiting mechanism. The protective mechanism includes two protective covers respectively located on both sides of the top of the base plate. One of the protective covers has two fixing rods on its top, and a connecting plate is provided through the outside of each fixing rod. The connecting plate has a first insertion hole. The other protective cover has two second insertion holes. The same insertion rod is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole for protecting the limiting mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a disassembly mechanism for convenient inspection and maintenance of the air pump. The disassembly mechanism includes a mounting plate inserted into the top of the base plate. Multiple connecting rods are fixedly provided inside the base plate. A support plate is provided through the top of the connecting rods. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the mounting plate. The connecting rods and mounting holes are adapted to each other. Two limiting holes are provided on the mounting plate for convenient inspection and maintenance of the air pump.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0013] 1. Start the motor. The motor can drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod drives the fixed plate to move. The fixed plate can drive the limit plate to move. Place the weather balloon between the two limit plates. The limit plates limit the weather balloon. Compared with the existing technology of fixing by bolts, this utility model is simple to operate and saves time.

[0014] 2. When the air pump needs to be inspected and repaired, insert your finger into the limiting hole, then pull the mounting plate to remove it from the top of the base plate. This will allow you to inspect and repair the air pump inside the base plate, thus extending the service life of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The weather balloon inflation device shown includes a base plate 1, an inflation pump 2 for inflating the weather balloon is provided inside the base plate 1, and a limiting mechanism 3 for limiting the weather balloon is provided on the top of the base plate 1.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes two limiting plates 301 respectively provided on the top two sides of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 has a first support frame 302 on both sides inside. One of the first support frames 302 is externally threaded with a bidirectional threaded rod 303. Both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 303 are threaded with a fixing plate 304. The top of the fixing plate 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 301.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a second support frame 306 is fixedly provided inside the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 307 is movably connected inside the second support frame 306 via a bearing. Gears 308 are threadedly connected to both the rotating shaft 307 and the bidirectional threaded rod 303. The two gears 308 mesh with each other. A motor 309 is fixedly provided at one end of the second support frame 306. A limiting rod 305 is provided through the other first support frame 302. The limiting rod 305 passes through one side of the fixed plate 304.

[0031] The motor 309 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 307 to rotate. Under the action of two gears 308, the rotating shaft 307 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 303 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 303 drives the fixed plate 304 to move. The fixed plate 304 slides along the limiting rod 305, which limits the fixed plate 304. The fixed plate 304 drives the limiting plate 301 to move. The weather balloon is placed between the two limiting plates 301, and the air inlet of the weather balloon is fixed to the air outlet of the air pump 2. The air pump 2 is used to inflate the weather balloon. The limiting plate 301 limits the weather balloon to prevent it from exploding. Compared with the bolt fixing method in the prior art, this utility model is simple to operate and saves time.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the top of the base plate 1 is provided with a protective mechanism 4 to protect the limiting mechanism 3. The protective mechanism 4 includes two protective covers 401 respectively provided on both sides of the top of the base plate 1. One of the protective covers 401 is provided with two fixing rods 402 on its top. Each fixing rod 402 is provided with a connecting plate 403 through its exterior. The connecting plate 403 is provided with a first insertion hole 404. The other protective cover 401 is provided with two second insertion holes 405. The same insertion rod 406 is inserted into the first insertion hole 404 and the second insertion hole 405.

[0033] When not using this utility model, rotate the protective cover 401 to the top of the base plate 1, then rotate the connecting plate 403 to connect the first insertion hole 404 and the second insertion hole 405 on the connecting plate 403. Then insert the insertion rod 406 into the second insertion hole 405 and the first insertion hole 404. The insertion rod 406 can fix the two protective covers 401 together. The protective cover 401 can protect the limiting mechanism 3, prevent the limiting mechanism 3 from being damaged by collision, and extend the service life of this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 1 is provided with a disassembly mechanism 5 for convenient inspection and maintenance of the air pump 2. The disassembly mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 501 inserted into the top of the base plate 1. Multiple connecting rods 502 are fixedly provided inside the base plate 1. A support plate 503 is provided through the top of the connecting rods 502. Multiple mounting holes 504 are provided on the mounting plate 501. The connecting rods 502 and the mounting holes 504 are adapted to each other. Two limiting holes 505 are provided on the mounting plate 501.

[0035] When the air pump 2 needs to be inspected and repaired, insert your finger into the limiting hole 505, and then pull the mounting plate 501 to remove the mounting plate 501 from the top of the base plate 1. This will allow you to inspect and repair the air pump 2 inside the base plate 1 and extend the service life of this utility model.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
