Description

Particle trap and rotorcraft provided with same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a particle trap and a rotorcraft including the same.
Background
Conventionally, various air cleaners using a fan and a filter have been known. The principle is as follows: a fan is used to force air into and through the filter, thereby causing the filter to capture particulate matter, aerosol particles, etc. in the air to purify the air. Generally, a widely used air cleaner is of a type in which a fan and a filter are completely separated, and wind is blown to the filter by the fan (for example, refer to patent document 1).
As another method, there has been proposed an air cleaner and a humidifier in which a filter is bent in a wave shape and rotated, thereby allowing the filter to function as both a blade of an impeller and the filter (see, for example, patent document 2).

< particle trap >
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of a particle trap according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the particle trap is provided with a trap unit and a gas flow generation unit.
The airflow-generating unit is a substrate that is mounted to a propeller of the rotorcraft. The base material is mainly formed of resin or the like, but may be formed of other materials. The base material may be a single material or a plywood-like material formed by combining a plurality of base materials.
As can be seen from a comparison of fig. 1(a) and (b), the trapping unit is present on the surface of the gas flow generating unit and has a predetermined physical structure or chemical structure, thereby trapping the particles on the surface.
Further, the arrows in the drawing indicate the direction of the airflow generated by the airflow generation unit. I.e. showing the flow of the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller. In the present embodiment, when the propeller rotates, an airflow is generated in a downward direction in the drawing (in other words, an upward thrust is generated in the rotorcraft having the propeller).
The gas flow generating unit and the capturing unit may be the same material or different materials. In this case, the airflow generation unit is used as a base material and the capture unit is coated on the surface thereof.
The trapping unit may have a structure (for example, provided with predetermined irregularities) in which the physical structure or chemical structure of the surface is suitable for trapping the specific particle, or may have a structure in which the surface is suitable for electrostatically attracting the specific particle.
Fig. 2(a) is a diagram showing another example of the particle trap. The illustrated particle trap includes a trap unit that selectively traps only a particle a from a plurality of different particles a and B.
Fig. 2(b) is a diagram schematically showing a surface structure in which only the particles a are selectively trapped. As shown in the figure, the trapping unit has a shape suitable for trapping the particle a, and has a shape unsuitable for trapping the particle B.
According to this configuration, when the airflow is generated by the rotation of the propeller, the particle a can be selectively captured only by the capturing means.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the propeller 10 as a particle trap. The propeller 10 includes: a shaft portion 11 which is a rotation shaft; and a blade section 12 that generates thrust (lift) by rotation. The propeller 10 (at least the blade portion 12 thereof) of the present embodiment is formed by the capturing unit 20.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view a-a' of fig. 3. As shown in the drawing, the propeller 10 has a catch unit 20 formed on a base material thereof.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the propeller 10' as a particle trap. Like the propeller 10 of fig. 3, the propeller 10' includes: a shaft portion 11 which is a rotation shaft; and a blade section 12 that generates thrust (lift) by rotation.

The trap unit 20' formed in a sheet shape includes: a catching material formed in a sheet shape; and an adhesive portion as a unit for adhering to the blade portion 12. The unit for adhering to the blade section 12 may utilize other units as well.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a situation where the rotating propeller 10 captures particles. When the propeller 10 rotates, an airflow is generated in the downward direction W, and an upward thrust (acting as a lift) is generated on the propeller 10', whereby the rotorcraft (not shown) can ascend and be stationary (hovering) in the air.
Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing a case where the propeller 10 or 10' of fig. 3 or 5 is mounted to a rotorcraft and placed in the atmosphere. The gyroplane functions to capture particulate matter, aerosol particles, and the like in the atmosphere by hovering over the gyroplane.
As shown in the figure, a plurality of gyroplanes are arranged in the sky, and the positional relationship of the airframes is controlled by mutual communication. Further, the management may be performed by a management control system disposed on the ground or in combination with the management control system, as necessary.
The above-described gyroplane is mainly a gyroplane that moves in the air, but for example, the gyroplane may be a gyroplane having a function of combining applications such as land use and underwater use.
The rotorcraft described above has, for example, the functional blocks shown in fig. 8. In addition, the functional blocks of fig. 8 are a minimum reference structure.
The flight controller may have more than one processor, such as a programmable processor, e.g., a Central Processing Unit (CPU).
The flight controller has a memory, not shown, and can access the memory. The memory stores logic, code, and/or program instructions that the flight controller can execute to perform one or more steps.
The memory may include a detachable medium such as an SD card or a Random Access Memory (RAM), or an external storage device. Data obtained from cameras, sensors, etc. may be transferred directly to and stored in memory. For example, still image/moving image data taken by a camera or the like is recorded in an internal memory or an external memory.
The flight controller includes a control module configured to control a state of the rotorcraft. For example, the control module controls the propulsion mechanisms (motors, etc.) of the rotorcraft to adjust the rotor with six degrees of freedom (translational movements x, y and z, and rotational movement θ)x、θyAnd thetaz) Spatial arrangement, speed and/or acceleration of the rotorcraft. The control module can control one or more of the states of the mounting unit and the sensors.
The flight controller is capable of communicating with a transceiver unit configured to transmit and/or receive data from one or more external devices (e.g., a terminal, a display device, or other remote controller). The transceiver can use any appropriate communication method such as wired communication or wireless communication.
For example, the transmitting/receiving unit may use one or more of a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), an infrared ray, a wireless, a WiFi, a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, a telecommunication network, a cloud communication, and the like.
The transmitter/receiver unit can transmit and/or receive one or more of data obtained by sensors, processing results generated by the flight controller, predetermined control data, user commands from a terminal or a remote controller, and the like.
The sensor class of the present embodiment may include an inertial sensor (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor), a GPS sensor, a proximity sensor (e.g., radar), a visual/image sensor (e.g., camera), and other physical sensors according to its use. Further, chemical sensors such as ion sensors, bioaffinity sensors, gas sensors, other electrochemical sensors, optical sensors, and the like may also be included.
The gyroplane of the present invention is expected to be used as an industrial gyroplane for research, measurement, observation, and the like. The gyroplane according to the present invention is applicable to aircraft-related industries such as a multi-axis helicopter and an unmanned aerial vehicle, and further, the present invention is applicable to various industries such as a safety field, agriculture, and infrastructure monitoring, in addition to being used as an aerial gyroplane equipped with a camera and the like.
Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a particle trap further including a detection unit for detecting (analyzing) information on the particle a captured by the capture unit of the present invention. The detection unit detects the particles a captured (trapped) by the capture unit.
The detecting unit may be any specific material, reagent, or other detecting unit that reacts with the particles a. The detection unit does not necessarily have to be provided in the capturing unit, and may be a separate unit.
(examples)
Next, in order to verify the particle adsorption effect of the present invention, an aerosol trapping experiment was performed. The experimental procedure is summarized below.
As shown in fig. 10, hydrophobic Durapore F was adhered to propeller P with double-sided adhesive tape. The hydrophobic Durapore F used in this example was a membrane filter made of polyvinylidene fluoride.
The propeller P is connected to a motor and rotated, during which rotation it is exposed to aerosol standard particles. The aerosol standard particles are aqueous dispersions of polystyrene particles in the shape of a regular sphere. The particle size is 0.1 μm. + -. 0.003. mu.m.
As a result of microscopic observation after exposure, a small number of particles were confirmed together with the filter F, and a weight change of 0.3mg was confirmed by an electronic scale. As shown in fig. 11A, smaller particles of white color in the figure can be observed. Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, it was found that particles having a size of about 0.1 μm were adsorbed.
The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative for understanding the present invention and are not intended to limit and explain the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention naturally includes equivalents thereof.
