Abstract

PURPOSE:To make mooring area narrow and make mooring is stable condition possible, by mooring a mashroom shape balloon equipped with a gondola having always remaining buoyancy by means of plural number of wire ropes of which winding and rewinding are free by a take-up device on the ground. CONSTITUTION:A mooring balloon 4 to which remaining buoyancy always functions is housed in a building 1 and boarding is made on a gondola 5. After boarding on the gondola 5 is finished, the roof is opened or the building 1 is moved, and the balloon is lifted by rewinding a take-up device 3. When the mooring balloon 4 is lifted up to a specified hight, descent operation can be made by a take-up device remote control device or a control device on the ground. As the lifted mooring balloon 4 is in a mashroom shape, even when it receives side wind from side direction, lifting force in lifting direction is generated and it can be sustained stably even if wire ropes 2 are not tensioned widening toward the end.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention involves floating a balloon with residual buoyancy (total thickness and total weight) in the sky via a wire rope and a winding device. It relates to a tension balloon that can monitor ar& or.

(Prior art) A device entitled ari game device was published in 1973-30523.
Disclosed in the issue. This involves tethering a balloon to a number of cables that extend downward in a radial manner, and by winding up these cables simultaneously, the balloon can be raised and lowered vertically, and the balloon itself can be fixed at any height. It is a suspended gondola that can be rotated.

This has the problem that a very large balloon is required to generate the necessary buoyancy, and the construction cost per unit of rising height is extremely high.

Furthermore, since the winding device is synchronized, there is also the problem that it does not move up and down smoothly in the vertical direction when exposed to cross winds.

(Problem to be solved by invention) In view of the problems of the conventional technology, the construction cost is low, and a balloon that always has residual buoyancy is moored with a wire rope, and the balloon is raised by unwinding and winding the wire rope.・
The idea is to make it possible to lower it.

In addition, the balloon is designed to have a shape that exerts lifting force against crosswinds, and to give the balloon horizontal freedom, thereby providing a method of supporting the balloon that can reduce the weight of the mooring device and reduce the mooring area. It is something to do. Furthermore, the winding device will be controlled by a computer connected to a weather sensor to ensure that the gondola is always kept level.

(Means for solving problems by invention) A balloon that is moored by multiple wire ropes that can be wound up and unwound by a winding device installed on the ground, has a mushroom shape, is equipped with a gondola at the bottom, and always has residual buoyancy. It is characterized in that it can be raised and lowered by a winding device.

(Example) An explanation will be given based on the drawings. In Figure 1, 1 is a storage building;
Only the roof can be opened and closed, or the entire building can be moved on rails. 2 is a winding device on the ground side with three or more wire ropes! Winding/rewinding is possible with 3. 4 is a moored balloon moored with the wire rope, which is designed so that residual buoyancy (=total weight of the slag car) always acts on it. A gondola 5 is installed at the bottom of the moored balloon 4.

6 is a helium compression device for maintenance purposes, which can be used to compensate for insufficient buoyancy of the balloon. A weather observation sensor and a winding device remote control device are provided on the balloon 4, and it is possible to control the rise and fall even from the sky.

The balloon 4 has a shape that can generate lift when subjected to a crosswind, for example, a mushroom shape.

(Function) FIGS. 2 and 3 show the moored balloon 4 stored in the building 1, and boarding the gondola 5 is performed in this state.

Now, after boarding the gondola 5, the roof is opened or the building 1 is moved, and the winding device 3 is returned and floated.

Once the moored balloon 4 has risen to a predetermined height, the gondola 5
Upper winder remote control device.

Alternatively, the lowering operation can be performed using a ground control device.

Since the floating moored balloon 4 has a mushroom shape, even if it receives a crosswind from the side, it generates a lifting force in the floating direction, so that the wire rope 2 can be stably supported without being stretched wide.

(Effects) The mooring balloon is shaped like a mushroom so that it generates buoyancy force even if it receives a crosswind when floating, so there is no need to stretch the mooring wire rope over a wide area. Therefore, the mooring area can be reduced and the mooring can be carried out in a stable state.

In addition to the above configuration, by connecting the first winding device to a mooring sensor and controlling it by computer, it is possible to always hold it horizontally.
