In practical applications, when it is not necessary to be used, all components are placed in the storage box 1, which takes up less space, and is convenient for storage and transportation, and when it is necessary to be used, it can be put into the designated position of designated waters by an aircraft or ship according to the actual requirements, and the folding runway 2 can be pushed out of the storage box 1 by the recovery apparatus 3; at the same time, the folding runway 2 is unfolded by the contractile apparatus 4 and inflation and deflation apparatus 5, and construction of a runway on water can be completed after the folding runway 2 is fully unfolded and fixed by the anchoring apparatus 6, so that the folding runway 2 can be quickly unfolded to shorten construction time, and the folding runway 2 is made of a light flexible inflatable material, which has strong compression resistance and flex resistance, and can be a takeoff and landing runway of a fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter; and compared with the existing water surface runway, the present disclosure has lower cost, does not need to be constructed for a long time, and does not rely on the ship, so it is more suitable for use as an emergency-built equipment; at the same time, it also has strong overturning resistance, and can be used as a temporary berth for an emergency rescue personnel or small ship in extreme weather conditions.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes:
In the present embodiment, an unfolding degree of the attitude monitoring system to the folding runway 2, a pressure that the folding runway 2 may withstand after being inflated, a position of the folding runway 2 in the water, a depth of immersion in the water, a vibration amplitude of the folding runway 2, a wind direction on the water surface and other data can be collected to determine whether aircraft takeoff and landing operations can be met by person.

As a further improvement, the active end of the first telescopic component 31 is connected with the folding runway 2 through the second telescopic component 41 close to the storage box 1. Through the above setting, the first telescopic component 31, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 form a whole. When unfolding the folding runway 2, after the first telescopic component 31 is used to complete an unfolding action to push the folding runway 2 out of the storage box 1, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 are used to perform the unfolding action to unfold the folding runway 2. When folding the folding runway 2, after the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 are used to perform a folding action to fold the folding runway 2, the first telescopic component 31 is used to complete the folding action to recover the folding runway 2 into the storage box 1.
As shown in
The first telescopic component 31, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic assembly 42 may also be provided as multistage air cylinders, and the first telescopic component 31, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 share the inflation apparatus 51, the evacuation apparatus 52, the inflation valve 53 and the exhaust valve 54 with the folding runway 2. During the unfolding operation, the first telescopic component 31, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 are synchronously stretched while inflating the folding runway 2, thereby shortening an unfolding time of the folding runway 2. During the folding operation, the first telescopic component 31, the second telescopic component 41 and the third telescopic component 42 are synchronously retracted while deflating the folding runway 2, thereby shortening a folding time of the folding runway 2. Therefore, the construction time of folding runway 2 is shortened to win valuable time for a unit using the runway.
As shown in
On the basis of the above embodiments, the attitude monitoring system in the present embodiment specifically includes a sensor, the sensor is provided on the folding runway 2, and the sensor is electrically connected with the attitude control system. The sensor includes a shaft angle encoder, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, a liquid level sensor, a wind direction sensor and other sensors. Additional sensors with different functions may be added according to the required functions. The attitude control system includes a data processor, which may perform an analog-to-digital conversion and a corresponding settlement output on the data collected by various sensors, and then send the control command to the recovery apparatus 3, the contractile apparatus 4, the inflation and deflation apparatus 5 and the anchoring apparatus 6. The data processor may adopt a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) digital signal processor, a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) field programmable gate array, a MCU (MicrocontrollerUnit) system board, a SoC (system on a chip) system board, or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) minimum system including I/O.
A specific use process of the present disclosure is as follows. When it is necessary to unfold, the attitude control system sends a command to control the first telescopic component 31 to push the folding runway 2 out of the storage box 1, turn on the inflation valve 53, and turn off the exhaust valve 54. Then a high-pressure gas is injected from the inflation apparatus 51 into the confined space enclosed by the external anti-skid drainage layer 21 and the internal reinforcement layer 22 through the inflation pipeline 55. At the same time, the plurality of second telescopic components 41 and the plurality of third telescopic components 42 are stretched outward to expand the light flexible folding runway 2 outward according to the established overall shape, at the same time it is tensioned through the high-strength wire drawing 23, and after sufficient gas is inflated and a certain pressure is reached, the folding runway 2 is unfolded into a flat shape to float on the water surface. The anchoring apparatus 6 launches a plurality of groups of anchors 63 into the water bottom through the anchor chain recovery and launch apparatus 61 and fix them to constitute the runway, which provides a takeoff and landing runway for the small fixed wing aircraft or helicopter. At the same time, the attitude monitoring system monitors parameters such as hydrological conditions and an internal pressure of folding runway 2 through various sensors.
When it is necessary to recover, the attitude control system sends a command to start the anchoring apparatus 6, disconnect the anchor chain 62 connecting the plurality of groups of anchors 63 through the anchor chain recovery and launch apparatus 61, then turn on the exhaust valve 54 and the evacuation apparatus 52, and turn off the inflation valve 53. The high-pressure gas is deflated from the confined space enclosed by the external anti-skid drainage surface 21 and the internal reinforcement layer 22, while the plurality of second telescopic components 41 and the plurality of third telescopic components 42 contract outward, and after the air in the folding runway 2 is completely deflated, the first telescopic component 31 provided in the storage box 1 is recovered, and the folding runway 2 is recovered into the storage box 1 for storage.
Before the next use, it is only necessary to connect the new anchor 63 and anchor chain 62 with the anchor chain recovery and launch apparatus 61, that is, it can be reused.
