DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

Stato della tecnica preesistente Pre-existing state of the art

Sono moltissimi i giochi di costruzione per ragazzi, a conoscenza dell’inventore non ci sono casi in di ciò che di costruzione abbiano anche una funzione educativa per l'apprendimento delle modalità con le quali à ̈ possibile realizzare strutture antisismiche. There are many construction games for children, to the knowledge of the inventor there are no cases in which construction also have an educational function for learning the ways in which it is possible to create anti-seismic structures.

Pertanto, à ̈ fondamentale che in aree particolarmente esposte al rischio sismico le nuove generazioni sviluppino questa conoscenza, ed al tempo stesso possano giocare un ruolo di diffusione di queste conoscenze attraverso la società. Questo à ̈ particolarmente importante nel caso di paesi in via di sviluppo in cui la popolazione scolastica può assumere spesso un ruolo di guida dell'evoluzione della società. Therefore, it is essential that in areas particularly exposed to seismic risk the new generations develop this knowledge, and at the same time can play a role in spreading this knowledge through society. This is particularly important in the case of developing countries where the school population can often take a leading role in the evolution of society.

Mentre esistono simulatore terremoto destinati alla ricerca scientifica, e quindi si tratta di macchine grandi complicate e costose, non esistono dispositivi realizzati dalla ridotta dal basso costo destinati a servire come giocattoli educativi. While there are earthquake simulators intended for scientific research, and therefore are complicated and expensive large machines, there are no low-cost low-cost devices intended to serve as educational toys.

Problema tecnico Technical problem

Il problema tecnico si riduce alla realizzazione di un simulatore di terremoto a scala ridotta di costruzione sufficientemente semplice ed economica per poter essere prodotto venduto come giocattolo. The technical problem is reduced to the realization of a small-scale earthquake simulator of sufficiently simple and economical construction to be able to be produced sold as a toy.

Al tempo stesso il problema tecnico e quello di costruire giochi di costruzione che stimolino in maniera realistica il comportamento dei materiali realmente utilizzati, quando sollecitati dal simulatore di terremoto di cui al capoverso precedente . At the same time, the technical problem is that of constructing construction games that stimulate in a realistic way the behavior of the materials actually used, when solicited by the earthquake simulator referred to in the previous paragraph.

Soluzione proposta Suggested solution

La soluzione proposta consiste in una piccola piattaforma metallica,( a, figura 1,2,4,5,6) alla quale può venire impartito un moto sussultorio e/o ondulatorio attraverso un semplice meccanismo azionato da due pistoni (b in figura 2, c in figura 4) azionato da due eccentrici (d in figura 2, e in figura 4) che a loro volta sono mossi da due piccoli motori (f in figura 2, g in figura 4) elettrici oppure da due meccanismi a molla o a manovella. The proposed solution consists of a small metal platform, (a, figure 1,2,4,5,6) to which a jolting and / or undulatory motion can be imparted through a simple mechanism operated by two pistons (b in figure 2, c in figure 4) driven by two eccentrics (d in figure 2, and in figure 4) which in turn are driven by two small electric motors (f in figure 2, g in figure 4) or by two spring or crank mechanisms .

La piattaforma poggia su rulli per consentirne lo scorrimento orizzontale (h in figura 6) The platform rests on rollers to allow horizontal sliding (h in figure 6)

La Piattaforma à ̈ inoltre dotata di meccanismo per potere ruotare sul piano orizzontale (i in figura 1,2,4,5,6) in maniera tale da potere sottoporre i modellini a simulazioni di sisma con orientamenti diversi. The Platform is also equipped with a mechanism to be able to rotate on the horizontal plane (i in figure 1,2,4,5,6) in such a way as to be able to subject the models to earthquake simulations with different orientations.

Sopra la piattaforma (i in figura 1,2,4,5,6), potranno essere realizzati modellini di costruzioni tramite i piccoli mattoni, membri di strutture metalliche bullonate ed a scala ridotta, o elementi di cemento armato simulati tramite filo metallico e creta, e di elementi in legno a scala ridotta. Above the platform (i in figure 1,2,4,5,6), construction models can be made using small bricks, members of bolted and reduced-scale metal structures, or reinforced concrete elements simulated using metal wire and clay. , and small-scale wooden elements.

Produzione Industriale Industrial production

Il trovato non presenta difficoltà per la produzione industriale in serie, essendo composto perlopiù da parti in commercio. The invention does not present difficulties for industrial mass production, being mostly composed of parts on the market.
