Description
本発明は、災害時に揚げて要救助者の所在を示すための救難信号装置となる発光気球に関する。 The present invention relates to a light-emitting balloon that is a rescue signal device that is raised during a disaster and indicates the location of a rescuer.
小型の気球にワイヤをつなぎ、災害時に揚げて、救助を求めるための気球がある（例えば、特許文献１−７）。これらの気球の中には、発光機や発信機を吊り下げているものもある（例えば、特許文献１，３，４，６）。 There is a balloon for connecting to a small balloon and lifting it at the time of a disaster to seek rescue (for example, Patent Documents 1-7). Some of these balloons suspend light emitters and transmitters (for example, Patent Documents 1, 3, 4, and 6).
特許文献１，３，４，６のように発光機や発信機を備えている気球があるが、発光機が明滅しているだけでは、天気の良い日に視認性が悪い。また、気球の下部に発光機が取り付けられた場合、気球の影に入ってしまい、航空機によって上空から発見しづらい。さらに、バッテリの寿命や軽量化を考慮してＬＥＤを発光部に使用する場合、光の指向性が強く、見る方向によって、発見しづらいこともある。 Although there is a balloon equipped with a light emitter and transmitter as in Patent Documents 1, 3, 4, and 6, the visibility is poor on a sunny day when the light emitter only blinks. Also, if a light-emitting device is attached to the lower part of the balloon, it will fall into the shadow of the balloon, making it difficult to find it from the sky by the aircraft. Furthermore, when an LED is used for a light emitting unit in consideration of battery life and weight reduction, the directivity of light is strong, and it may be difficult to find depending on the viewing direction.
そこで、本発明は、日中および夜間を問わず、視認性に優れた救難信号用の発光気球を提供する。 Therefore, the present invention provides a light emitting balloon for a rescue signal excellent in visibility regardless of whether it is daytime or nighttime.
本発明に係る一実施形態の発光気球は、気球とボンベと発光素子と点灯回路とバッテリとワイヤと吸気レバーとを備える。気球は、光を拡散させる半透明の部材で形成され、空気よりも軽い気体が封入されているとともに、気体を封入するための注入部と、当該注入部から充填された気体が漏出するのを阻止する逆止弁とを備えている。ボンベは、注入部に接続されて気体を供給する。発光素子は、気球の中に設置される。点灯回路は、発光素子を点灯させる。バッテリは、点灯回路に電力を供給する。ワイヤは、気球を係留する。吸気レバーは、気球の内壁に接触して逆止弁を開放する。そして、この発光気球は、発光素子から放出される光によって半透明の部材の気球を全体的に発光させる。 A light emitting balloon according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a balloon, a cylinder, a light emitting element, a lighting circuit, a battery, a wire, and an intake lever . The balloon is formed of a translucent member that diffuses light, and a gas lighter than air is enclosed, and an injection part for enclosing the gas and a gas filled from the injection part leak out. that it has a check valve to prevent. The cylinder is connected to the injection unit and supplies gas. The light emitting element is installed in a balloon. The lighting circuit lights the light emitting element. The battery supplies power to the lighting circuit. The wire anchors the balloon. The intake lever contacts the inner wall of the balloon and opens the check valve. The light emitting balloon causes the balloon of the translucent member to emit light entirely by the light emitted from the light emitting element.
このとき、視認性を高めるために、点灯回路は、発光素子を点滅させる。この発光気球が長期間にわたって浮上しているようにするために、ボンベは、圧力調整弁を介して注入部に接続される。そして、圧力調整弁は、逆止弁と圧力逃し弁とで構成される。圧力逃し弁は、気球の内部から逆止弁までの間の吸気通路の連通している。圧力調整弁は、設定された圧力範囲に気球の内部の圧力を保持するために、気球の内部の圧力が設定された圧力範囲よりも低くなった場合に逆止弁を開放してボンベから気体を供給し、気球の内部の圧力が設定された圧力範囲よりも高くなった場合に圧力逃し弁を開放して気球の内部の気体を放出する。また、捜索者に発見される可能性を高めるために、気球に搭載されバッテリから電力が供給されて救難信号を発信する発信機をさらに備えるとよい。
At this time, in order to improve visibility, the lighting circuit blinks the light emitting element . For emission balloon this is so are emerging over a long period of time, the cylinder is connected to the injection unit via a pressure regulating valve. The pressure regulating valve is composed of a check valve and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve communicates with the intake passage from the inside of the balloon to the check valve. In order to maintain the pressure inside the balloon within the set pressure range , the pressure regulating valve opens the check valve when the pressure inside the balloon falls below the set pressure range, When the pressure inside the balloon becomes higher than the set pressure range, the pressure relief valve is opened to release the gas inside the balloon. Further, in order to increase the possibility of being found by a searcher, it is preferable to further include a transmitter that is mounted on a balloon and that is supplied with power from a battery and transmits a rescue signal .
本発明の発光気球によれば、気球の中に発光素子を設置しているので、発光素子から放出された光は、半透明の部材で拡散され気球を全体的に明るくする。気球として上空に上がっていることで日中でも地上から発見しやすく、また、発光素子に比べて発光体として発光面積が広いため、夜間でも遠くからも視認しやすい。 According to the light emitting balloon of the present invention, since the light emitting element is installed in the balloon, the light emitted from the light emitting element is diffused by the translucent member to brighten the balloon as a whole. It is easy to find from the ground during the day because it is in the sky as a balloon, and since it has a large light emitting area as a light emitter compared to a light emitting element, it is easy to see even at night or from a distance.
本発明に係る第１の実施形態の発光気球１について、図１および図２を参照して説明する。図１に示した発光気球１は、気球１０と発光素子１２と点灯回路１３とバッテリ１４とワイヤ１５とを備える。気球１０は、光を拡散させる半透明の部材で形成され、空気よりも軽い気体Ｇ、例えばヘリウムガスや水素ガス、が封入される。気球１０は、内部の気体Ｇの圧力で大きく膨らむ風船のようなゴム弾性を有した部材で作られていてもよいし、伸縮性をほとんど有さない布状の素材で作られていてもよい。伸縮性を有していないことで、気球１０の大きさを一定に保ちやすいとともに、利用者が気球１０を膨らませすぎて破裂させることを予防できる。気球１０は、１つの部材で一重に作られているものでもよいし、気体Ｇを密封する機密性部材と強度を担う非伸縮性部材とを重ねた二重構造あるいは複合材料であってもよい。 A light-emitting balloon 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The light emitting balloon 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a balloon 10, a light emitting element 12, a lighting circuit 13, a battery 14, and a wire 15. The balloon 10 is formed of a translucent member that diffuses light, and encloses a gas G that is lighter than air, such as helium gas or hydrogen gas. The balloon 10 may be made of a member having rubber elasticity such as a balloon that is greatly inflated by the pressure of the internal gas G, or may be made of a cloth-like material having almost no elasticity. . By not having elasticity, it is easy to keep the size of the balloon 10 constant, and it is possible to prevent the user from inflating the balloon 10 and causing it to burst. The balloon 10 may be made of a single member, or may be a double structure or a composite material in which a confidential member that seals the gas G and a non-stretch member that bears strength are stacked. .
気球１０は、気体Ｇを封入するための注入部１１を有している。第１の実施形態の場合、メインブロック２０が注入部１１に装着されている。図２に示すように、このメインブロック２０は、ボンベ３０が接続される取付座２１と、取付座２１から気球１０の内側に通じる吸気通路２２と、充填された気体Ｇが漏出するのを阻止する逆止弁２３とを備えている。取付座２１の奥には、ノズル２４が形成されており、ノズル２４の外周にパッキン２５が装着されている。取付座２１にボンベ３０を捻込むと、ノズル２４がボンベ３０の封止部を押し破る。ボンベ３０は、気球１０を膨らませるのに十分な量の気体Ｇが高圧で封じ込められた使い切りの小型ボンベである。逆止弁２３は、ボンベ３０の内部の気体Ｇの圧力によって開かれ、ボンベ３０の内部の気体Ｇの圧力と気球１０の内部に入った気体Ｇの圧力が釣り合うと吸気通路２２を施栓する。逆止弁２３の代わりに、吸気通路２２を連通させる手動式のバルブを設置してもよい。 The balloon 10 has an injection part 11 for enclosing the gas G. In the case of the first embodiment, the main block 20 is attached to the injection part 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the main block 20 prevents the leaking of the mounting seat 21 to which the cylinder 30 is connected, the intake passage 22 leading from the mounting seat 21 to the inside of the balloon 10, and the filled gas G. And a check valve 23. A nozzle 24 is formed in the back of the mounting seat 21, and a packing 25 is attached to the outer periphery of the nozzle 24. When the cylinder 30 is screwed into the mounting seat 21, the nozzle 24 pushes and breaks the sealing portion of the cylinder 30. The cylinder 30 is a single-use small cylinder in which a sufficient amount of gas G to inflate the balloon 10 is contained at a high pressure. The check valve 23 is opened by the pressure of the gas G inside the cylinder 30 and plugs the intake passage 22 when the pressure of the gas G inside the cylinder 30 and the pressure of the gas G inside the balloon 10 are balanced. Instead of the check valve 23, a manual valve for communicating the intake passage 22 may be installed.
メインブロック２０は、発光素子１２と点灯回路１３とバッテリ１４とを搭載している。またメインブロック２０は、気球１０の中心に向かって延びたステム１２１を有している。発光素子１２は、ステム１２１の先端部に取り付けられている。この発光素子１２は、気球１０の内部と外部の密閉性を保つように封止された状態で、メインブロック２０の中に組み込まれた点灯回路１３に、接続されている。発光素子１２は、ＬＥＤ（発光ダイオード）であってもよいし、ハロゲン球、キセノン球、放電管などの高輝度ランプであってもよい。また、発光素子１２の発光色は、白色の他に赤色や青色などであってもよい。 The main block 20 includes the light emitting element 12, the lighting circuit 13, and the battery 14. The main block 20 has a stem 121 extending toward the center of the balloon 10. The light emitting element 12 is attached to the tip of the stem 121. The light emitting element 12 is connected to a lighting circuit 13 incorporated in the main block 20 in a sealed state so as to keep the inside and outside of the balloon 10 sealed. The light emitting element 12 may be an LED (light emitting diode) or a high-intensity lamp such as a halogen bulb, a xenon bulb, or a discharge tube. Moreover, the light emission color of the light emitting element 12 may be red or blue in addition to white.
点灯回路１３は、発光素子１２を点灯させる。本実施形態の点灯回路１３は、発光素子１２を連続して発光させる以外に、発光素子１２を決められた発光パターンで点滅させる機能を有する。このとき発光パターンは、点灯回路１３を起動させてからどのくらい時間が経過したか分かるように、経過時間に応じて発光パターンを変えてもよい。また、バッテリ１４の消耗を抑えるために、光量センサを備えて明るい時と暗い時とで発光パターンを変えたり、明るい時には消灯し暗い時には点灯するようにしたりしてもよい。点灯回路１３のＯＮ／ＯＦＦや発光パターンを切り替えるためのスイッチが気球１０の外側に露出したメインブロック２０に設けられていてもよい。 The lighting circuit 13 lights the light emitting element 12. The lighting circuit 13 of the present embodiment has a function of causing the light emitting element 12 to blink in a predetermined light emission pattern, in addition to causing the light emitting element 12 to emit light continuously. At this time, the light emission pattern may be changed according to the elapsed time so that it can be understood how much time has passed since the lighting circuit 13 was activated. In order to suppress the consumption of the battery 14, a light quantity sensor may be provided to change the light emission pattern between bright and dark, or may be turned off when bright and turned on when dark. A switch for switching ON / OFF of the lighting circuit 13 and the light emission pattern may be provided in the main block 20 exposed to the outside of the balloon 10.
バッテリ１４は、気球１０の外部向かって開口したメインブロック２０の凹部２６に装着され、点灯回路１３に電力を供給する。バッテリ１４は、市販の型式の電池であって、凹部２６に装着されているので、容易に交換することができる。なお、バッテリ１４の形式は、いわゆる単１電池、単２電池、単３電池のほかに、単４、単５電池であってもよいし、さらに小型化、軽量化のために、ボタン電池を採用してもよい。 The battery 14 is mounted in a recess 26 of the main block 20 that opens toward the outside of the balloon 10 and supplies power to the lighting circuit 13. The battery 14 is a commercially available battery and is mounted in the recess 26, so that it can be easily replaced. In addition to the so-called single battery, single battery, and single battery, the battery 14 may be a single battery or single battery, and a button battery may be used for further miniaturization and weight reduction. It may be adopted.
ワイヤ１５は、気球１０の外側に露出したメインブロック２０につながれている。本実施形態では、図２に示すようにメインブロック２０に形成された取付穴２７に通されている。ワイヤ１５は、図１に示すように、しっかりと固定されたアンカー１００となるような手摺やガードレールなどに結び付けられることによって、気球１０を係留する。気球１０の浮力に対して十分な重さを有していればよいので、鞄や身体に括り付けておいてもよい。ワイヤ１５は、周りに建物や樹木などの障害物があっても遠方から容易に視認できる程度の高さまで発光気球１を上げることができる十分な長さ、例えば３０ｍ〜５０ｍ、を有している。使用される環境に応じてワイヤ１５をもっと長く、例えば１００ｍ以上、でもよいし、短くしてもよい。気球１０が風で流されても、ワイヤ１５を辿ることによって、この気球１０を上げている場所を特定できる。 The wire 15 is connected to the main block 20 exposed outside the balloon 10. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, it is passed through a mounting hole 27 formed in the main block 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the wire 15 anchors the balloon 10 by being tied to a handrail, a guard rail, or the like that becomes a firmly fixed anchor 100. As long as it has sufficient weight with respect to the buoyancy of the balloon 10, it may be tied to a bag or body. The wire 15 has a sufficient length, for example, 30 m to 50 m, that can raise the light emitting balloon 1 to a height that can be easily visually recognized from a distance even if there are obstacles such as buildings and trees around it. . Depending on the environment used, the wire 15 may be longer, for example, 100 m or longer, or shorter. Even if the balloon 10 is swept away by wind, the place where the balloon 10 is raised can be specified by following the wire 15.
ワイヤ１５は、気球１０を係留しておくために必要な強度および柔軟性を有した材質であれば、いわゆる凧糸のような木綿糸のほか、スチール製あるいは合成樹脂製の撚り腺であってもよいし、高強度で耐熱性に優れた化学繊維であってもよい。また、ワイヤ１５の長さを調整するためのボビンや、ワイヤ１５を固定しやすくするためのフックや留め具を装備していてもよい。 As long as the wire 15 is a material having the strength and flexibility necessary for mooring the balloon 10, the wire 15 may be a cotton thread such as a so-called kite thread, or a twisted gland made of steel or synthetic resin. Alternatively, it may be a chemical fiber having high strength and excellent heat resistance. Moreover, you may equip the bobbin for adjusting the length of the wire 15, and the hook and fastener for making it easy to fix the wire 15. FIG.
以上のように構成された発光気球１は、発光素子から放出される光によって、半透明の部材でできた気球１０を全体的に発光させる。したがって、発光体としての発光面積が大きく、遠方から容易に視認することができるようになる。また、日中の明るい時間帯であっても、ある程度の大きさを有しているので、発見しやすい。気球１０の色を蛍光オレンジや蛍光ピンクにし、内部から発光させると、さらにこの発光気球１の視認性が高まる。 The light emitting balloon 1 configured as described above causes the balloon 10 made of a translucent member to emit light entirely by light emitted from the light emitting element. Therefore, the light emitting area as a light emitter is large and can be easily visually recognized from a distance. In addition, even during a bright daytime, it is easy to find because it has a certain size. When the color of the balloon 10 is changed to fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink and light is emitted from the inside, the visibility of the light emitting balloon 1 is further increased.
使用しない間は、気球１０を畳んでしまえばよいので、被災したときのために常備しておくのに場所をとらない。また、ボンベ３０やバッテリ１４を交換できるので、ボンベ３０およびバッテリ１４を複数備えておき、必要に応じて交換することで、長時間あるいは数日間、発光気球１を揚げ続けることも可能である。 The balloon 10 can be folded when not in use, so it does not take up space to keep it in case of a disaster. Since it exchange cylinder 30 and the battery 14, advance a plurality of cylinders 30 and the battery 14, by replacing as necessary, long or several days, it is possible to continue to lift the light-emitting balloon 1.
本発明に係る第２の実施形態の発光気球１について、図３および図４を参照して説明する。第１の実施形態の発光気球１と同じ機能を有する構成は、各図中において第１の実施形態と同じ符号を付し、その説明は、第１の実施形態の対応する記載箇所を参酌するものとする。 A light emitting balloon 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Components having the same functions as the light-emitting balloon 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment during each figure, and description thereof will be referred to corresponding descriptions portions of the first embodiment Shall.
図３に示す発光気球１は、圧力調整弁４０を介してボンベ３０を注入部１１に接続している。圧力調整弁４０は、吸気通路２２に設けられた逆止弁２３と、逆止弁２３から気球１０までの間の吸気通路２２からメインブロック２０の外側へ通じるバイパス４１を封止する圧力逃し弁２８とによって構成される。圧力調整弁４０は、気球１０の内部の圧力が設定された圧力範囲よりも低くなった場合、逆止弁２３を開放してボンベ３０から気体Ｇを供給し、気球１０の内部の圧力が設定された圧力範囲よりも高くなった場合、圧力逃し弁２８を開放して気球１０の内部の気体Ｇを放出する。これによって、気球１０の内部の圧力は、設定された圧力範囲内に保持される。 In the luminescent balloon 1 shown in FIG. 3, the cylinder 30 is connected to the injection part 11 via the pressure regulating valve 40. The pressure regulating valve 40 includes a check valve 23 provided in the intake passage 22 and a pressure relief valve that seals a bypass 41 that leads from the intake passage 22 between the check valve 23 to the balloon 10 to the outside of the main block 20. 28. When the pressure inside the balloon 10 becomes lower than the set pressure range, the pressure regulating valve 40 opens the check valve 23 and supplies the gas G from the cylinder 30, and the pressure inside the balloon 10 is set. When the pressure range becomes higher, the pressure relief valve 28 is opened to release the gas G inside the balloon 10. Thereby, the pressure inside the balloon 10 is maintained within the set pressure range.
また、この発光気球１は、吸気レバー２９を備えている。この吸気レバー２９は、逆止弁２３のバネ２３１に連結されて気球１０の内側に延びたロッド２９１と、このロッド２９１に連結されてメインブロック２０の外形よりも大きく延びたアーム２９２とを備えている。気球１０の中の気体Ｇが減って気球１０が萎むと、気体Ｇが上部に溜まり気球１０は縦長に引き延ばされた形になる。この結果、メインブロック２０に接合された部分の近傍の気球１０の壁が上方へ引っ張られ、気球１０の内壁に接触したアーム２９２を持ち上げる。アーム２９２に連結されたロッド２９１が逆止弁２３のバネ２３１を弛めるので、逆止弁２３が開放されてボンベ３０から気体Ｇが供給される。このように、発光気球１は、吸気レバー２９が付いているので、気球１０の形状を丸く膨らんだ形に維持することができる。 The light emitting balloon 1 is provided with an intake lever 29. The intake lever 29 includes a rod 291 that is connected to the spring 231 of the check valve 23 and extends inside the balloon 10, and an arm 292 that is connected to the rod 291 and extends larger than the outer shape of the main block 20. ing. When the gas G in the balloon 10 is reduced and the balloon 10 is deflated, the gas G accumulates in the upper part and the balloon 10 is elongated. As a result, the wall of the balloon 10 near the portion joined to the main block 20 is pulled upward, and the arm 292 in contact with the inner wall of the balloon 10 is lifted. Since the rod 291 connected to the arm 292 loosens the spring 231 of the check valve 23, the check valve 23 is opened and the gas G is supplied from the cylinder 30. Thus, since the light emitting balloon 1 has the intake lever 29, the shape of the balloon 10 can be maintained in a rounded and expanded shape.
さらにこの発光気球１は、発信機１６を搭載している。発信機１６は、バッテリ１４から電力が供給され、救難信号（遭難信号）を発信する。上空に上がった発光気球１から救難信号が送信されるので、信号が遠くまで届きやすく、捜索者に発見される確率が増す。 Further, the light emitting balloon 1 is equipped with a transmitter 16. The transmitter 16 is supplied with electric power from the battery 14 and transmits a rescue signal (distress signal). Since a rescue signal is transmitted from the light-emitting balloon 1 that has risen to the sky, the signal is easy to reach far and the probability of being found by a searcher increases.
第１の実施形態及び第２の実施形態の発光気球１は、少なくとも１つのボンベ３０と、バッテリ１４を一緒に梱包した、いわゆる「防災キット」の一つとして常備しておく。災害などによって通信手段や交通手段が断絶された場合にこの発光気球１を揚げることによって、生存者や要救助者の所在地を的確に報知することができ、捜索者から発見されやすくなる。また、災害のみならず、登山者が携帯し、遭難した場合に発光気球１を上げてもよい。 The light emitting balloon 1 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment is always provided as one of so-called “disaster prevention kits” in which at least one cylinder 30 and a battery 14 are packed together. When the communication means and the traffic means are cut off due to a disaster or the like, the location of the survivor or the rescuer can be accurately notified by raising the luminous balloon 1, and the searcher can easily find it. Moreover, you may raise the luminous balloon 1 not only at the time of a disaster but when a climber carries and suffers.
なお、ボンベ３０の気体Ｇを使い切ってしまった場合や、ボンベ３０を容易に入手できない地域でも利用できるようにするために、水素ガスを発生させる方法を記載したカードを入れておいてもよい。水素を発生させる方法には、電気分解によって、マイナス電極から発生する水素ガスを集める方法と、亜鉛やアルミニウムを酸（塩酸など）と反応させて発生するガスを集める方法がある。水素ガスを発生させる方法を記しておくことで、ボンベ３０がなくても、空気より軽い気体Ｇとして水素ガスを発生させて発光気球１を上げることができる。 In addition, when the gas G of the cylinder 30 is used up, or in order to make it possible to use it in an area where the cylinder 30 is not easily available, a card describing a method for generating hydrogen gas may be inserted. As a method for generating hydrogen, there are a method for collecting hydrogen gas generated from a negative electrode by electrolysis and a method for collecting gas generated by reacting zinc or aluminum with an acid (such as hydrochloric acid). By describing a method for generating hydrogen gas, the light emitting balloon 1 can be raised by generating hydrogen gas as a gas G that is lighter than air without the cylinder 30.
本発明に係る発光気球は、上空に高く上げて救助を待つための救難信号装置として使用される以外に、停電などによって夜間の照明が不足する場合に、室内や頭上に掲げて照明器具として使用することもできる。 The light-emitting balloon according to the present invention is used as a lighting fixture in a room or overhead when the lighting is insufficient due to a power failure or the like, in addition to being used as a rescue signal device for raising the sky high and waiting for rescue.
