Description

flying boat

A flying boat, especially a flying boat equipped with an auxiliary lift chamber capable of flying to higher altitudes.

The known airship uses the buoyancy generated by the gas filled inside to rise slowly. If the shape of the airship is fixed, due to the limited volume, the buoyancy it can generate is small, so the height it can reach is not high , about 5 kilometers. In order to further increase the altitude that can be reached, such as the stratospheric region above 15 kilometers, the gas-filled cabin must be designed in a variable volume and shape. In this way, it is difficult to attach solar cells on its surface in a large area, so Insufficient power storage capacity, unable to sail for a long time, resulting in limited practicality and applicability.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 , the airship 100 of the present invention has a double-cabin structure in appearance, and includes a flight chamber 10 , a connection structure 20 , and a lift chamber 30 . The flight cabin 10 and the lift cabin 30 form the double cabin structure. The flight chamber 10 includes a fastening device 16 . The fixing device 16 is fastened to the flight cabin 10, the connection structure 20 is detachably connected to the flight cabin 10 through the fixing device 16, the lift chamber 30 is arranged on the connection structure 20, and is arranged on the flight cabin 10 above.

The lift chamber 30 is a balloon with a variable capacity, and its shape is not fixed. In this embodiment, it is filled with hydrogen of a certain quality. When the airship 100 of the present invention is located at a low altitude, such as sea level or the ground, the lift chamber 30 can provide additional buoyancy for the flight chamber 10, and assist the flight chamber 10 to rise. During the ascent of the airship 100, as shown in the figure 2, the volume of the lift chamber 30 will expand to continuously provide buoyancy. And when the airship 10 rises to a predetermined height, such as the stratosphere, the fixing device 16 is actuated, and the connection structure 20 and the lift chamber 30 can be separated from the flight chamber 10 . There are many ways to actuate the fixing device 16 to disengage the connecting structure 20 and the lift cabin 30 from the flight cabin 10, which can be mechanical or electronic. For example, the fixing device 16 can be a buckle 161, the buckle 161 has a gap 162, and the connection structure 20 is a rope, which is first bound to the buckle 161, and when the airship 10 rises to the predetermined height, the buckle 161 rotates so that the connection structure 20 passes through the The notch 162 breaks away from the flight chamber 10 .

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the flight cabin 10 is an outer skeleton structure, which includes an outer cabin 11 , an inner cabin 12 , an outer frame 13 , a solar cell 14 and a power equipment room 15 . The external shape of the outer cabin 11 remains fixed, that is, the volume does not change during the rising process, and an accommodating space 111 is formed inside. The inner compartment 12 is arranged in the outer compartment 11, and is composed of a plurality of variable-capacity airbags. As shown in FIG. 4 , the airbag is filled with a certain amount of helium. At low altitudes, the volume of the inner cabin 12 is relatively small, and the volume ratio of the inner cabin 12 to the outer cabin 11 can be, for example, 10%. When the buoyancy of the flight chamber 10 is small, the buoyancy is insufficient, so the lift chamber 30 is needed as an auxiliary buoyancy source to continue rising. When the airship 100 rises to a predetermined height, as shown in Figure 5, the volume of the inner cabin 12 expands and the volume becomes larger, and the volume ratio of the inner cabin 12 to the outer cabin 11 can be, for example, 90%. It can provide the buoyancy required for the flight cabin 10 to float and can support the weight of the flight cabin 10, so the connection structure 20 and the lift cabin 30 can be separated.

The outer frame 13 is arranged on the outside of the outer cabin 11 to enhance the strength of the outer cabin 11 . In this embodiment, the outer frame 13 is a plurality of hollow tubular structures, such as round tubes, which are distributed around the outer cabin 11, and because they are hollow, power lines or control lines can be arranged inside the round tubes. line, the solar battery 14 is arranged above the outer cabin 11, and since the outer shape of the outer cabin 11 is kept fixed, the solar battery 14 can be laid on the top of the outer cabin 11 in a large area, and an appropriate energy storage device ( (not shown in the drawing), the airship 100 of the present invention can store a large amount of electric power to facilitate long-time airborne operations, and greatly increase the applicability and practicability of the airship 100 . In addition, the power line or control line of the solar cell 14 can be arranged in the hollow tube of the outer frame 13 .
