DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[Driving Apparatus] FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a driving apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the driving device 1 includes a gravitational lifting / lowering body 3 that is disposed inside a casing 2 so as to be able to move up and down, a suction port 4 that is provided at an upper portion of the casing 2, and a casing 2. Outlet 5 which is provided in the middle of the direction of extension of
A liquid 6 accommodated below the gravity lifting body 3 inside the casing 2;
A gas introduction path 7 that communicates a space above the surface of the container with a portion in which the liquid 6 is accommodated, and a buoyancy lifter that is immersed in the liquid 6 in the casing 2 and arranged to be able to move up and down in the casing 2 8 and an auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 connected to the buoyancy lifting body 8.

The casing 2 is provided extending in the vertical direction (the direction of gravity). The gravity lifting body 3 has an intake drum 10, a weight 11, and a discharge drum 12 fixed to a piston rod 13 from above to below, and is integrally formed.
The weight 11 increases the inertial force when the gravity lifting body 3 is lowered (falled) by gravity.

The home position of the gravity lifting body 3 is set at an upper portion of the casing 2, for example, at a position where the gravity lifting body 3 shown in FIG. 1 is located. When the gravity lift 3 descends from the home position, the discharge drum 12 pushes down the space below the discharge drum 12 in the casing 2, while the suction drum 10 moves in the space above the suction drum 10 in the casing 2. To reduce the pressure.

The casing 2 has a stopper 14 for holding the gravity lifting body 3 at the home position, and a stopper switch 15 for releasing the holding by the stopper 14.
Are provided. As the stopper 14, any method can be adopted. For example, there is a method in which a movable arm is urged by a spring (not shown) so that the movable arm can freely move in and out.

The suction port 4 is configured such that when the gravity lift 3 descends, gas is sucked into the casing 2 from the outside. A suction pipe 16 is connected to the suction port 4. In this embodiment, air is used as the gas,
An appropriate gas can be used depending on the application. The discharge port 5 discharges gas from the inside of the casing 2 to the outside when the gravity lifting body 3 moves down. A discharge pipe 17 is connected to the discharge port 5.

As the liquid 6, water or any other liquid is selected. The gas introduction path 7 is a portion where the gas pushed down as the gravity elevating body 3 descends is stored in the space above the surface of the liquid 6 where the liquid 6 of the casing 2 is accommodated.
For example, gas is sent from the lower end of the casing 2.
Water-tight one-way valves 7A and 7B are provided between the base end and the end of the gas introduction path 7 and the casing 2, respectively. The liquid 6 in the casing 2 does not enter the gas introduction path 7, In addition, the gas flow does not reverse.

The buoyancy raising / lowering body 8 includes, for example, a stop table 18 as a receiving portion, and the stop table 18.
And a gas vent valve 20 provided on the upper surface of the floating portion 19. The stop table 18 receives and supports the lowered gravity elevating body 3.

The floating portion 19 floats by the buoyancy from the liquid 6 by introducing and storing the gas sent through the gas introduction path 7 as the gravity lifting body 3 descends, and at the same time, lifts the gravity lifting body 3. It pushes up. Although the structure of the floating portion 19 is arbitrary, there is, for example, one formed in a downward deep dish shape as shown in the figure. As shown in the drawing, the floating portion 19 sinks in a state where the liquid 6 is filled therein, and rests on the bottom of the casing 2.

The gas release valve 20 closes the space between the floating portion 19 and the liquid 6 when the floating portion 19 is in the liquid 6, and when the floating portion 19 rises to the surface of the liquid 6, The buoyancy elevating body 8 is settled in the liquid 6 by its own weight by extracting gas from the floating part 19 by communicating with the internal space of the casing 2. The specific structure of the gas release valve 20 may be arbitrarily selected. For example, a valve element (not shown) for opening and closing the floating portion 19 and a spring (not shown) for urging the valve element in the closing direction may be used. When the floating part 19 is in the liquid 6, the pressure of the liquid 6 pushes the valve body in the closing direction against the urging force of the spring, while the floating part 19 In some cases, the valve body is displaced in the opening direction by the urging force of a spring when the surface floats on the surface.

The auxiliary force imparting mechanism 9 is arranged so that the buoyancy lifting body 8 floats by buoyancy and pushes up the gravity lifting body 3 to raise the gravity lifting body 3.
The auxiliary force is applied when the player cannot return to the home position. Auxiliary force applying mechanism 9
May be one that gives an auxiliary force to the buoyancy lifting body 8 or one that gives an auxiliary force to the gravity lifting body 3. In this embodiment, for example, a hydraulic cylinder is used as the assisting force applying mechanism 9 as shown in the figure, and the mechanism is configured to push up the floating portion 19 by an upward force. Alternatively, as the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9, a pump for replenishing gas that is insufficient for the floating of the floating portion 19 may be used.

The auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 operates when a sensor (not shown) detects that the amount of gas introduced into the floating portion 19 is insufficient, and applies an auxiliary force to the buoyancy lifting body 8 to cause the buoyancy lifting body 8 to float. Is controlled. Alternatively, the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 is always operated, for example, the floating portion 1
When a sensor (not shown) detects that the 9 starts to float, it is controlled to apply an auxiliary force to the buoyancy lifting body 8 in conjunction with the rising of the floating portion 19.

In the driving device 1 configured as described above, gas is discharged and sucked as follows. As shown in FIG. 1, when the gravity lifting body 3 is held at the home position, the operator operates the stopper switch 15.
Is operated to displace the stopper 14, the gravity lifting body 3 descends from the home position by the weight of the weight 11. When the gravity lift 3 descends, the discharge drum 12
Pushes down the gas below the discharge drum 12 in the casing 2, discharges the gas through the discharge port 5 and the discharge pipe 17, and transfers the gas from the space above the liquid 6 through the gas introduction path 7 to the casing 2. 2 is fed into the floating portion 19 of the buoyancy lifting body 8 from the lower end. The gas release valve 20 is opened by the pressure of the gas sent into the floating portion 19, and the liquid 6 in the floating portion 19 is pushed out of the floating portion 19. When the feeding of the gas into the floating portion 19 is completed, the pressure of the liquid 6 around the floating portion 19 is applied to the gas release valve 20, and the gas release valve 20 is closed.

At the same time, the descending suction drum 10 decompresses the space above the suction drum 10 in the casing 2, and sucks gas into the casing 2 through the suction pipe 16 and the suction port 4. When the discharge drum 12 of the descending gravity lifting body 3 hits the stop table 18, the gravity lifting body 3 is received, and the state shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. When the descent of the gravity elevating body 3 stops, the feeding of the gas into the floating portion 19 ends, the pressure of the liquid 6 around the floating portion 19 is applied to the gas vent valve 20, and the gas vent valve 20 is closed.

Then, since the gas is sufficiently contained in the floating portion 19, the floating portion 19 receives sufficient buoyancy from the liquid 6 and floats, and pushes up the gravity lifting body 3 via the stop table 18. When the buoyancy lifting body 8 floats by the buoyancy and pushes up the gravity lifting body 3 as described above, if it does not sufficiently float, the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 applies an upward assisting force to the gravity lifting body 3, It helps return the gravity lift 3 to its home position as shown in FIG.

The gravity lifting body 3 returns to the home position,
When the floating portion 19 of the buoyancy lifting body 8 comes out above the surface of the liquid 6, the pressure of the liquid 6 is not applied to the gas release valve 20, and the gas releasing valve 20 is opened, and the space inside and outside the floating portion 19 is communicated. As shown in FIG. 3, the liquid flows into the floating portion 19 from below, and the buoyancy elevating body 8 sinks down, and rests on the bottom of the casing 2 as shown in FIG.

Thus, after the gravitational lifting / lowering body 3 descends,
The buoyancy lifting body 8 and the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 as required lift and return the lowered gravity lifting body 3 to the original state, and the gas is discharged from the discharge port 5 and the gas is sucked from the suction port 4. . In the driving device 1, the gravity lifting body 3
Descends due to gravity, and gives buoyancy to the buoyancy lifting body 8 using kinetic energy when the gravity lifting body 3 descends,
The gravitational lifting body 3 is pushed up by the upward force of the buoyancy applied to the buoyancy lifting body 8. Here, the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9
May be configured to operate constantly or may be configured to operate when buoyancy is weak.

FIG. 4 shows a case where the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 is not used, and the buoyancy lifting body 8 may push up the gravity lifting body 3. The other configuration is the same as that of the above embodiment, and the description is omitted. Also in this case, when the upward force of the buoyancy lifting body 8 is weak, the auxiliary force applying mechanism 9 may be added.
