[Means for Solving the Problems] Various problems appearing on the earth that are not expressed by conventional globes are three-dimensionally regarded as the solar system of the universe, and the problems are solved by the relationship with the sunlight.

It is known that in the method of indicating the positional relationship of the sun with respect to the earth's orbit and the center of the orbit, the earth's orbit is an ellipse, and the sun is at the focal point of the ellipse. In the conventional globe, the body of the globe is designed to rotate around the earth axis, assuming that the inclination of the earth axis is 23.4 degrees with respect to the axis of revolution of the earth. However, since the main body of the globe is supported by a C-arm with a latitude scale and fixed to the globe support, the orbit of the earth has not been modeled.

In the present invention, the conventional C-arm with latitude scale is modeled so as to be the center of the orbit of the earth, and the vertical line passing through the center of the globe is used as the axis of revolution. The axis of rotation is used as the axis of revolution, and the axis of ordinates and bearings are constructed so as to be extended and supported by the globe support base. That is,
The orbital center of the earth is placed on a globe support and modeled. The main body of the globe is supported by a C-arm with a latitude scale so that it can rotate freely while keeping the inclination of the earth axis at 23.4 degrees. Supported. Therefore, in the present invention, the main body of the globe rotates, but the revolution is modeled and rotatable about the center of the revolution orbit provided on the globe support as a rotation axis. This aims to model the relationship with the sun, that is, the relationship between the rays of the sun and the surface of the earth by translating only the revolution of the earth around the center of the orbit. In other words, if the earth is seen from the sun, or if the sun's rays are used to look at the earth's surface, the earth is modeled as having the earth at the center of the orbit. However, the attitude of the earth during its revolution is represented by placing the globe model on the revolution orbit so that it is in a state known to the public.

[0008] In a state where the main body of the globe is modeled so as to come to the center of the orbital orbit of the earth on the globe support, the weight of the main body of the globe and the C-arm with a latitude scale supporting it and the like fall over in the lateral direction. In order to prevent this, by installing journal thrust bearings vertically at two locations, it is supported on the globe support. In the illustrated example of the present invention, the example is shown in which the flanged bearing bush is provided in an upside down posture. Either the vertical axis (journal axis) or the journal bearing is provided on a C-arm with a latitude scale and is rotated. That is,
It can be understood that the same purpose can be achieved even if either the outside or the inside is provided so as to rotate.

As described above, the important functions of the present invention are as follows.・ Changes of the four seasons, that is, two to two minutes are shown.・ Showing the day of the week, the day and the month of the year in relation to the revolution of the earth. That is, the yearly calendar is represented by a continuous calendar of one year around the ellipse in relation to the revolution of the earth. As a method of giving these functions to the globe, as described above, a bearing bush with a collar, that is, a journal bearing with a vertical thrust bearing, near the boundary between the stationary portion and the vertical portion of the rotating portion of the earth orbit calendar. And pointers, ie, de-indicator and revolution globe model are provided. On the stationary side, that is, on the side of the globe support, an elliptical globe orbital orbital calendar that models the orbit of the earth is provided, and the day, day, and month are provided near the elliptical orbit with continuous scales for one year. To describe. Furthermore, a scale indicating two to two minutes is provided according to the operation of the earth. On the other hand, the orbital side of the earth is provided with a guideline indicating the daily orbit of the earth. Although they can be automated like a watch, the present invention only shows the principle.

Since the continuity of days and the continuity of days of the week are different from each other on the scale of the days of the calendar, the calendar is used every year, or the days of the week are used as independent scale plates for many years.

When the living environment on the earth is viewed from a cosmic perspective, the importance of time in addition to year, month, day, and day of the week is indispensable because of its continuity. In other words, the need for the correct time found in astronomical navigation and the exchange of information around the world are raised. In the globe of the present invention, it is provided because of the importance of continuity from time to day, but a structure for providing a continuous motor function is not shown. Other,
According to the scale of the body of the globe, a tape-shaped finger that measures the distance on the spherical surface of the body of the globe is provided to estimate the flight distance and time. The structure is the same as the known tape measure, but is made to bend well so that it is cheap to measure with a special scale.

Derived from the globe according to the present invention is a continuous temperature record for one year at a fixed point on the earth. For example, if you can read at a glance the highest, average, and lowest records for the lives of people in Tokyo, Sapporo, Okinawa, etc. throughout the year, it will be useful for resident or outpatients. . This can serve the purpose by recording a record or diary that matches the moon and day in a cylindrical shape on the outside of the revolution axis of the globe. This invention, as seen in connection with the bisect, is capable of knowing the annual temperature change at a certain point on the earth from a cosmic perspective, and is useful as a teaching tool or for practical use. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, the globe body 1 is made in a state where it rotates about the earth axis with the inclination of the earth axis ε = 23.4 degrees with respect to the axis of revolution, and rotary bearings are provided at both ends of the earth globe of the earth axis with a latitude scale. It is supported by a C-shaped arm 2, which has been fixed to a globe support 3. Such a conventional globe is not designed to represent the rotation of the earth but the revolution of the earth. In the method of the present invention, the fact that the earth revolves around the sun while rotating on its own axis is expressed in a table. For this reason, the C-arm with latitude scale is provided with a vertical axis 8S with the axis of revolution about the vertical line passing through the center of the globe as the center of rotation so that it can be fitted into the globe support 3 and rotated. It is supported by a bearing bush with a collar, which is a journal thrust bearing 8B of a vertical bearing. These are known ones made of synthetic resin, copper alloy or the like. In this method, when the earth is seen from the sun, in other words, when the earth is seen riding on the light falling from the sun onto the earth, what kind of phenomenon occurs on the earth is to be known.

What people need and are directly related to the sun and the earth on a daily basis has a relationship between the calendar showing the day of the week, the day, the month, and the second and the second, and the time on the earth. Assuming that the sun is the stationary coordinate, an earth revolution calendar 4 is provided on a globe support 3 and a sun model 5 with an eccentricity is provided near its center. An orbiting globe model 6 showing an orbiting model of the earth is provided on the outer periphery away from the sun model 5. The C-arm 2 with latitude scale focuses on this revolution globe model 6 and tries to express what kind of light the earth receives from the sun at which position in the year. When it revolves over a year, it rotates in relation to the inclination ε of the earth axis. In other words, the day of the week, the day, the month, and two or two minutes can be understood according to the Earth revolution calendar. That is, the one-year calendar is on the orbital model of the earth, and this is indicated on the latitude-scaled C-arm 2 by the pointer de-indicator 7 indicating the day, which indicates the positional relationship between the sun and the earth on that day. It is done like this.

The day of the week is repeated in units of 7 days, and since it does not coincide with the day, an independent day of the week scale ring is provided, or it is described in the earth revolution calendar 4 according to the day of the year.
The annual rotation cycle of 365.4222--day is separately considered by the multi-year calendar.

Everyone on the earth needs to have a common understanding of the time that is important in people's lives. In the present invention, the earth is about 2
It takes 4 hours to make one rotation, and it takes about 365 days and 6 hours to make one revolution around the sun. The rotating ring 11 with a time difference scale shown here is provided parallel to the equator as a typical example parallel to the latitude. The support is provided so that the ring support 12 is provided in a place where no one lives on the ocean, and the rotating ring 11 with a time difference graduation can be swung so as not to disturb the reading of the surface of the globe. This allows you to read the time difference with other countries. It is also an important object of the present invention to know the astronomical meaning of the time difference before the time difference is known by the time difference table.

Important phenomena can occur on the earth during one revolution of the earth. There are annual highs, lows, average temperatures, rainfall, snowfall, etc. at a point on the earth. The records of each of these phenomena are shown on a cylinder graph for reference in the prediction of future phenomena. The earth revolution graph 14 is used for recording past data or data to be generated in the future, and the date of occurrence is indicated by a pointer indicator 7 which is provided in the same stationary state as the globe support base 3. This obtains a practical effect by adding related functions.

FIG. 2 shows that the orbiting of the globe represents two to two minutes, a month, a day, and a day of the week. The sun model 5 has an eccentricity with respect to the revolution axis of the earth, and one revolution is modeled by providing a revolution globe model 6 at a position of two to two minutes. You can see how the sun's diurnal movement changes between winter and summer.

FIG. 3 shows another globe outline drawing (Example 2) showing the purpose of the present invention. Latitude scale C that supports the globe body 1
The mold arm 32 further includes a globe revolving support arm 31 on the outside thereof.
What is the attitude of the earth when viewed from the sun, in other words, when viewed by riding on the light that falls on the earth. That is, it is possible to know what season it is. In this figure, the globe revolving support arm 31 is provided with a lamp 15 in an arc shape, and the sunlight is shown illuminating the earth. In this state, the globe model support 33 is passed through the sun model 35.
It is fixed to. An earth revolution calendar 34 is fixed to a globe support, and a di indicator 37 is supported on the upper surface of the globe support so as to be rotatable around the earth revolution axis. The day of the week is shown as an example that is also shown in the Earth Revolution Calendar 4. It can be seen from the globe shown in this (Example 2) that the purpose of the invention can be achieved in the same manner.

In FIG. 4, the elliptical earth revolution calendar 4 indicates the day of the week, the day, the month, and two to two minutes. Day indicator 7 is shown year-round. Sun model 3
5, and the orbital globe model 6 model the astronomical relationship between the sun and the earth.

FIG. 5 shows that the time difference can be read by rotating the rotary ring 11 with the time difference scale provided in parallel along the equator of the globe 1. The plate-shaped ring support 13 shown in FIG. 6 is provided on the ocean so as not to disturb the reading of the map. On the other hand, in order to rotatably support the rotating ring 11 with the time difference scale so as to be able to swing, it is necessary to provide only two locations on both ends of the globe.

In order to measure the distances of two or more points on the earth, it is necessary to provide a tape-shaped finger which is adjusted to the scale of the globe. This allows estimation of flight distance, flight time, or simply distance or area. This is the latitude scale
If it can be clamped to the C-shaped arm 2, it will not be lost as a permanent object and will be easy to use.

[0023]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects are brought about.

As shown in FIG. 1, the globe body 1 is supported by the C-arm 2 with the latitude scale so that the inclination ε of the earth axis with respect to the revolution axis of the globe support base 3 is maintained at 23.4 degrees. As shown in the figure, the terrestrial support 3 is provided with a vertical axis 8S with the center of the orbit of the earth as an axis, and the vertical journal thrust bearing 8B supports the vertical axis 8S so that the vertical axis 8S can be rotated to see the earth from the sun. You can understand the case, that is, the situation of seeing the earth on the sun's rays, and the reason why it happens for two to two minutes.

Based on the above principle, the globe body 1 is in the revolving posture and the vertical axis 8S of the C-arm 2 with a latitude scale and the globe support stand.
The earth-orbiting calendar 4 is provided at the boundary of the vertical journal thrust bearing 8B of 3 and the C-shaped arm with rotating latitude scale 2
The day indicator, day, month and two to two minutes of a year can be read by the de indicator provided in. In addition, the day of the week can be known by providing a rotating ring with day scale if necessary.

The rotary ring 11 with the time difference scale of FIGS. 1 and 3 is
It is installed as a line parallel to the latitude line so that it rotates parallel to the equator, and the time difference can be read. The time difference can be understood by astronomical relationships.

The sun model 5 or 35 and the revolution globe model 6 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 are shown as a model of the revolution of the earth operating in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The orbital center (orbital axis) of the earth is shown by modeling that it has an eccentricity, unlike the center of the sun.

Since a calendar table shown in 4A of FIG. 1 and 34A of FIG. 3 is designed to accommodate a multi-year calendar of the same type and size as the earth revolution calendars 4 and 34, It is also possible to record the key word W of important matters for over 100 years.

Since the tape-shaped finger for measuring the distance on the spherical surface of the globe body is provided in accordance with the scale of the globe body 1, flight distance, flight time, etc. can be estimated.

The earth revolution graph 14 or 34 is a phenomenon that occurs on the earth in one year, for example, monthly maximum, minimum, average temperature, precipitation, snowfall etc. at one point on the earth. It can be used by comparing with past data of important phenomena.

An example in which the ramp 15 is provided on the globe revolving support arm 31 shown in FIG. 3 is shown. If we regard this lighting as sunlight, we can understand the direction of daylight that the earth receives from the sun in one year. It can be seen that at the position shown in the figure, it is summer, and if it is reversed, winter is expected.

To summarize the effects of the present invention on the globe, it is shown that the revolution of the earth is an elliptical orbit.・ The sun must have an eccentricity from the center of the earth's orbit.・ To be able to understand the earth revolution calendar indicated by the revolution of the earth in terms of days of the week, days, months, and two to two minutes.・ Understand the operation of the earth as a universe with the sun model and the revolution globe model.・ The time difference on the earth can be read by the rotating ring with the time difference scale. -Earth revolution calendar can be stored for more than 100 years and can serve as a lifetime calendar.・ The distance on the surface of the globe can be estimated with a tape finger.・ When the earth revolves around the earth, phenomena at one point on the earth, such as maximum, minimum, average temperature, rainfall, snowfall, etc., can be recorded and used continuously as an astronomical record as past data or a diary.・ From these effects, it can be seen that it has utility value as a teaching tool or for practical use.
