Description

Ground platform with flying vehicle

The present invention relates to a device for assisting a flying vehicle, in particular to a ground platform that cooperates with the flying vehicle.

In addition to the purpose of carrying people, flying vehicles, such as inflatable spaceships, helium balloons, etc., which are easy to locate in a specific position in the air for a long time, are often raised to a certain height after connecting wires to provide communication base stations and fixed points. Lighting, advertising, etc.

However, even if this type of flying vehicle is relatively favorable for floating at a certain position in the air, it is still difficult to guarantee that it will move in a small range due to the uncertain air flow in the air, or rotate on a vertical axis. Cables for lighting, communication lines, and even fixed ropes for positioning are connected, and various wires may be entangled with each other. When the wires are entangled with each other, the small ones will affect the subsequent rewinding and cause damage to the wires, and the heavy ones may fall off from the connector, and then swing around the ground in a large range, causing danger to the surrounding area. It is necessary to propose a corresponding improvement plan.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a ground platform for the flying vehicle that ensures that the wires connected with the flying vehicle will not be entangled with each other.

Therefore, the present invention is suitable for connecting a plurality of wires with one end used for connecting to the flying vehicle, and includes a base suitable for positioning on the ground, an action set on the base station, and a sensor control unit.

The actuating platform includes a body that can rotate relative to the base with a longitudinally extending axis of rotation, and a plurality of connecting portions disposed on the body and respectively suitable for inserting the wires.

The sensing control unit includes a first sensor suitable for being disposed on the aircraft, a second sensor disposed on the operating platform and connected to the first sensor, and at least one information is connected to one of the first sensor and the second sensor, and is used for controlling the actuating stage according to a difference signal of the direction information sensed by the first sensor and the second sensor A controller that rotates the body relative to the base.

The effect of the present invention is: when the aircraft flying in the air is shifted or rotated, the direction information of the first sensor and the second sensor can be compared with each other to generate information about the two directions. The difference signal of the difference, through the rotation of the main body of the actuating platform, can maintain the arrangement rule between the wires according to the direction difference, thereby preventing the wires from intertwining.

Referring to FIG. 1 , it is an embodiment of the ground platform of the present invention, which is suitable for connecting a plurality of wires 92 with one end connected to the flying vehicle 91 , and includes a base 1 suitable for positioning on the ground. , an operating table 2 disposed on the base 1 , a sensing control unit 3 , and an operation interface 4 connected to the sensing control unit 3 with information. In this embodiment, the case where three wires 92 are connected between the flying vehicle 91 and this embodiment is described, and the flying vehicle 91 is an inflatable spaceship, but the connected wires 92 are The quantity, the specific type, and the form of the flying vehicle 91 are not limited by this.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , specifically, the base 1 only needs to be stably fixed on the ground and is sufficient to cope with the slight shaking that may occur after connecting the wires 92 . The actuating table 2 includes a main body 21 that can rotate relative to the base 1 with a longitudinally extending axis, and three connecting portions 22 disposed on the main body 21 and respectively adapted for the wires 92 to be inserted. Wherein, the main body 21 is preferably pivotally connected to the base 1 by a longitudinally extending pivot 19 , thereby achieving the purpose of rotating relative to the base 1 . And due to the different types and quantities of the wires 92, the connection parts 22 are in response to the connection requirements. In addition to the quantity corresponding to the quantity of the wires 92 used, the types such as wire sockets, network holes, and even It is the clasp that holds the rope, all of which are possible implementation methods. In addition, the base 1 can be integrated on a large movable vehicle such as a truck and a trailer, in addition to being stably arranged on the ground, so as to increase the application flexibility.

The sensing unit 3 includes a first sensor 31 suitable for being arranged on the aircraft 91 , and a second sensor arranged on the operating platform 2 and informationally connected to the first sensor 31 . 32, and at least one information is connected to one of the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, and is used for the direction information sensed by the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32 A differential signal of the controller 33 controls the rotation of the main body 21 of the actuator 2 relative to the base 1 . Wherein, the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32 are both selected from a compass, a global positioning system (GPS, Global Positioning System), or a satellite navigation system (GNSS, Global Navigation Satellite System). In addition, since the controller 33 mainly determines whether the direction between the flying vehicle 91 and the base 1 is based on the difference in the direction sensing information between the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32 There are some deviations, so whether it is connected to the first sensor 31 or the second sensor 32, basically the same function can be achieved, so it can be freely selected according to factors such as the configuration environment or the convenience of operation.

The operation interface 4 is connected with the sensor control unit 3 by a wireless connection mechanism, and can directly control the rotation of the main body 21 of the actuation table 2 relative to the base 1 , thereby forming a system for compensating the automatic operation of the sensor control unit 3 . mechanism, or direct human control in response to temporary emergencies.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at the same time, when the flying vehicle 91 actually carries the required equipment and connects the three wires 92 to fly up, if the first sensor 31 is slightly turned due to airflow or other factors, the first sensor 31 will sense the If the direction information of the flying vehicle 91 is deflected, there will be a difference from the direction information of the actuator 2 sensed by the second sensor 32 , thereby generating a difference signal 300 . At this time, the controller 33 receives the difference signal 300, and in order to maintain the direction information between the flying vehicle 91 and the action platform 2 in the initial state after flying, the controller 33 controls the body 21 of the action platform 2 to face each other. After the base 1 is rotated, after the main body 21 is rotated, the relative position of the flying vehicle 91 and the operating platform 2 will be maintained at the initial state of just flying, that is, the wires 92 are properly arranged. Therefore, During the flight of the flying vehicle 91, the wires 92 can be prevented from being entangled with each other.

To sum up, in this embodiment of the present invention, which is matched with the ground platform of the flying vehicle, as long as the flying vehicle 91 is deflected relative to the actuating platform 2 , the sensing and control unit 3 can sense the difference in direction information. , and then control the main body 21 of the actuator 2 to rotate relative to the base 1 , so as to maintain the relative position of the wires 92 properly arranged between the flight vehicle 91 and the actuator 2 , so as to avoid the wires 92 92 intertwined. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved indeed.

However, the above are only examples of the present invention, and should not limit the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the application for patent of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present invention. within the scope of the invention patent.
