Abstract

Disclosed is an airship display, which uses visual persistence, to human eyes, of a point light source rotating near the outer surface of an airship so as to achieve an air show function.

Description

Airship display

Field of invention

The invention relates to an airship display, in particular to a device that realizes aerial display by using the visual residue of a point light source rotating near the outer surface of the airship to human eyes.

Background technique

There are some spherical LED displays on the market, which are fixed indoors or outdoors through brackets or suspension cables to display images of the earth. Among them, the LED light source is fixed or rotating. The latter uses the rotating LED point light source to leave the human eye's vision. When the LED point light source moves to a specific position, it turns on or off, so as to achieve the equivalent of ordinary display pixel point lighting. Or turn off the effect.

Japanese telecommunications operator NTT Docomo invented the world's first spherical-illuminated drone. The four-axis drone achieves high mobility through the spherical centered four-axis drone, and uses the rotating LED point light source to achieve the effect of aerial display on the visual residue of the human eye. , And it is planned to be used in sports events or high-tech concerts, and to remind the crowd in emergency situations. It is designed for high mobility and can be operated almost anywhere. However, with current technology, battery life is a big obstacle. Although high energy density can be achieved through fuel, the problem is that drones are generally not allowed to fly in densely populated places. If fuel is used, it will be more dangerous.

In addition, the principle of the UAV with a spherical display is only to use the four-axis UAV with the center of the sphere to move the traditional and fixed hoisting spherical LED display. The embodiment needs to solve the problem of the air flow generated by the rotating LED strip and the flying of the UAV. To minimize the structural weight and other technical problems, the live video is extremely noisy. At present, it is only 0.88 meters in diameter. If it is enlarged enough to impress the stadium with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, the noise level will be close to that of a manned helicopter, which greatly reduces its practicality, let alone. The danger of an accident. If fuel is used, the plane crashes over a dense crowd, causing a fire at the scene, causing the crowd to panic and large-scale stampede, and its harm is close to a terrorist attack. What's more, the drone itself may be hijacked and used by terrorists.

Summary of the invention

It is conceivable that the airship provides buoyancy to counteract all or part of the gravity of the entire device, and at the same time uses the visual residue of the point light source rotating on the outer surface of the airship to achieve low altitude display. The airship can be fixed to the ground by ropes or suspension cables or suspended from beams and other fixed points, and then provide electricity, data or control commands through cables parallel to the ropes or suspension cables to rotate and point the light source to provide the needs The displayed content or the underlying implementation instructions. In addition to driving the point light source to rotate, the power device of the airship can also drive the rotor to achieve maneuvering.

Obviously, such directional terms regarding the actual use of the device have no specific meaning, because the device can be used by a user or multiple users in multiple directions.

The spherical display drone invented by NTT Docomo, a Japanese telecommunications operator, is difficult to achieve its anticipated goal of high mobility due to the current limitation of the energy density of the power battery. On the other hand, many real-world applications do not require mobility. Of course, if you don’t need to pay a price, high mobility must be of great significance, but the limitations of the existing technology hinder its commercial pace, not only battery life, noise level and flight control, but also anti-wireless attacks and hijacking. Major difficulties.

Since the invention of airplanes, lighter-than-air aircraft (collectively called Aerostat, including tethered balloons, free balloons, and airships) have tended to decline. Because the aerostat is lighter than air and its stagnation time is not limited by fuel, it is advantageous in terms of economy and environmental protection. Since its buoyancy does not depend on power, a low-power engine can be used in the propulsion system, which is not only low in cost but also low in noise. It is also very suitable to be combined with solar power to become a fairly environmentally friendly air transportation tool.

But because of the principle that the surface area is enlarged and smaller than the volume, its advantage of being lighter than air, it must be made larger to be effective. The huge volume causes air resistance to be much greater than that of airplanes, and its speed is lower than that of the slowest helicopter among the air-heavier aircraft, usually below 100 kilometers per hour, even the claimed fastest Zeppelin or modern airship. It does not exceed the speed of 150 kilometers per hour. This is even slower than modern land vehicles such as cars or trains, and only slightly faster than ships.

In particular, the aerostat is highly sensitive to wind. Except for maneuvering and docking in high winds, the difference in flight time between headwind and tailwind is too large, and even in crosswinds, the ground speed will be exhausted by flying without sideslip. Therefore, airplanes replaced aerostats and became the preferred means of transportation.

However, for those applications where high maneuverability is not urgently needed and for display purposes, aerostats are more suitable than airplanes. After all, rapid changes will affect the effect of the display, and we all have the experience of watching a short video many times. Secondly, for the display of dense crowds, a huge display surface is also needed. This can just use the principle that the aerostat itself needs to be enlarged according to the surface area to be smaller than the volume, and it needs to be made large to be beneficial. Third, for an unpowered balloon, its shortcoming of high sensitivity to wind can be greatly offset by fixing it to the ground or hanging from a beam by ropes or suspension cables (when possible). Of course, for typhoon weather, the unpowered balloon must be retracted. However, under this weather condition, the flight cannot continue to operate. Even land transportation such as high-speed rail is the same.

We can use the wind to drive the point light source to rotate and generate the point light source. The surplus power is transported back to the ground through the cable. When the wind is insufficient, the arc edge bar is driven to reach a certain speed and the point light source is powered by the cable. The ground transmits power to the airship display.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various changes and modifications according to the claims and specification of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the claimed invention. In addition, each embodiment and claims may not include all the disclosed advantages or special tightening mechanical clamping properties.
