The fields related to import / export, the results of their use, the equipment used to build them, the fields related to the collection and transportation of garbage generated by the operation of equipment, and the efficient recycling of these garbage There are no technical fields that are not related to the recycling field to be used and new fields that cannot be envisaged at this time.

(Points of interest)
The top is a traditional toy from the old days that everyone has played once as a child, and these traditional tops are concentric with the center of mass of the disk, cone, sphere, etc. The shaft shaft is integrated, and the shaft rod standing upright on the upper side is picked up and rotated by a finger, and in the case of a large one, the shaft rod is sandwiched and moved between both palms. , Such as those that are rotated in this way, tops that have such shaft rods, and tops that do not have an axis such as shellfish tops There are a variety of things that can be turned to give a turning force, and it can be said that it is one of the fun toys that can play a wide variety of things, but it requires considerable practice to get it to rotate well, so it is small Many of the children It was supposed to lead to disappointing results that get bored before it so as to.

    Also, due to its structure, rotating parts such as the tip of the shaft rod and the tip of the lump part are always grounded and receive a large frictional force from the grounding surface. Children who have become able to turn well because of the inconvenience of stopping and overturning tend to gradually become less interested, especially in an era where you can easily experience a simulated experience with Nintendo like recently The toy has a disadvantage that it is difficult to realize this stable and sustained rotation while it is inevitable to say that it is a toy with few elements among living children. There is a limit to its application to other crafts, industrial products, and industrial equipment, and Gyros, which uses a motor's rotational driving force to continuously rotate high-precision tops. It is limited to applications such as over-flops.

(Conventional technology)
As a technique to be applied boldly by utilizing the principle of topping while having such technical problems, for example, as represented by the one proposed in the following Patent Document 1 (1), The ground part is spherical, and not only one point at the tip, but also the spherical peripheral wall surface can be rotated in various postures while grounding and rolling, as shown in Patent Document 1 (2) A technology that makes it possible to provide a high-performance topless drum-free sphere by embedding a hard material sphere at the tip, and as in Patent Document 1 (3), the entire lump portion is formed into a spherical shape, and the shaft rod portion Rotate by attaching a metal end to the tip of the ground, such as those that can be detachably attached to the upper end of the writing instrument, those that have been newly added with other functions such as roulette, and Patent Document 1 (4) In addition to increasing accuracy, the entire top is made into a cannonball shape Housing the bell, such as those obtained by adding features such as diversity and pronounce rotation posture is scattered.

    Further, as in (5) to (7) of Patent Document 2, a light emitting component such as an LED (light emitting diode), a button battery capable of emitting the light inside the lump portion, and a centrifugal force generated by spinning the top With a built-in switch mechanism that can be automatically operated with a light emitting component such as LED (light emitting diode) in the lump portion of Patent Document 1 (8), and a piezoelectric element capable of generating power by collision with another object In addition to those in which a fluorescent tube using chemicals can be mounted along the outer peripheral edge of the lump portion, as in Patent Document 1 (9), Patent Document 1 (10) As shown in the figure, a separate frame part having a pinion formed on the peripheral wall at the tip of the ground shaft can be easily held, and the rack part meshed with the pinion is moved along the guide groove of the separate frame part. Pull out or push in a certain direction In this way, anyone can easily start rotation of the top, and in Patent Document 1 (11), a rotating rod is inserted into the top center of the top and twisted to perform initial rotation. One that is applied with rotational force by hitting it with a whip, or a bamboo dragonfly, such as Patent Document 1 (12). You can also get a glimpse of what makes it easy for anyone to play by grabbing the drive with the other hand and pulling the rope of the drive with the other hand to give the bamboo dragonfly a rotating force in a certain direction.

    However, as shown in the former patent documents 1 (1), (3), and (4), a top band portion or a part of the lower fold is formed into a spherical shape or a bullet shape, etc. Even if it tilts, it can extend the time until any of the spherical shapes are grounded and roll over or stop, and it also has the advantage of rotating at various angular postures, but the grounding area increases For this reason, it has a drawback that it cannot receive stable high-speed rotation due to the friction of the ground contact surface, and it is made of metal at the ground contact tip of the top as in Patent Documents 1 (2) (4). For those equipped with hard spheres or spherical shaped parts such as those, the ground frictional resistance at the tip will be greatly reduced to improve wear resistance and make it easier to obtain stable high-speed rotation. Although the top is tilted, the circumference other than the hard end If the surface comes in contact with the ground, immediately customers deceleration, it was those leaving the problem that stopped.

    On the other hand, as in Patent Document 2 (5) to (7), an LED and a button battery or a switch serving as a power source therefor emits light alone during rotation, and has a taste and added value. Although it is possible to increase it, button batteries need to be replaced as consumable parts, which not only takes time and money for recycling and purchasing new replacement batteries, but also places a burden on the natural environment. On the other hand, as in Patent Document 2 (8), LEDs and power generation piezoelectric elements are built in the top of the top, making the battery unnecessary and making it friendly to the natural environment. A grounding component is rotatably incorporated in the tip of the ground via a bearing so that the rotational friction of the tip of the ground can be rotated at high speed with low friction regardless of the friction coefficient of the ground contact surface (ground gap). However, the only way to start rotation of the top itself is to twist the shaft rod or throw the string around it as before, leaving the problem that some practice is indispensable, In addition, if a part other than the grounding part supported by the bearing is grounded, there is a drawback that it rolls over and stops at once.

Furthermore, in the case where a light-emitting tube using chemicals can be attached, such as the one shown in Patent Document 2 (9), the light-emitting component itself is a consumable item, so that a flaw is caused every time the light emission time passes. There is a drawback that it is generated in a large amount, and as disclosed in (10) to (12) of Patent Document 2, in order to start rotation and stable rotation of the top, combine other parts other than the top. In addition to the increase in the number of parts, it is necessary to purchase a set of top and equipment for it, and it becomes expensive at each stage compared to the case of purchasing a top alone. The larger the number of parts, the easier it is to break and it is difficult to increase the durability, and the damaged parts have only a fatal defect that causes the generation of wrinkles in the early stage.

(Awareness of problems)
As described above, it is difficult to obtain a stable high-speed rotation for most of the various tops proposed so far, and even those that have a provisional light emission or sound generation function have a built-in button battery in their power supply. In addition, in order to start rotating, it requires separate parts such as a string and a rack and pinion, and it is easy for anyone including children to obtain high-speed and stable rotation. Recognizing the need for a new toy as a new toy that can be rotated and can be played for a long time, but so far it has not achieved the development of such a high-performance top In addition, the toy industry is a company that manufactures and sells a variety of industrial products such as leisure goods and interiors with high taste, home appliances, automobiles, other passenger machinery, industrial machinery, and various parts. Even the fact is that not give fulfill yet their realization it can be said.

(Object of invention)
Therefore, the present invention does not use any tool such as a string, it can be easily rotated by anyone by operating the top itself, and can be rotated stably and at high speed. Judging whether it is possible to develop a new top-of-the-field technology that can be applied to a wide range of industrial products without stopping, we started its development and research quickly, and repeated trial and error over a long period of time and numerous prototypes and experiments. As a result, the present invention has finally succeeded in realizing an inertial rotating device having a novel structure and a novel starting method, and the configuration thereof will be described below together with an embodiment representative of the present invention shown in the drawings. It will be described in detail.

(Structure of the invention)
As will be clearly understood from the embodiments representing the present invention shown in the drawings, the inertial rotating device of the present invention basically comprises the following configuration.
In other words, the shape of a longitudinal section passing through the central axis is a round or semi-circular, semi-elliptical, isosceles triangle, or any one of them, which is a bullet-shaped or disk-shaped and passes through the central axis. It has a three-dimensional shape by any one of short cylinders with a cross-sectional shape of the cylinder, and a self-rotating topping is provided in which the bottom end of the three-dimensional shape is a concentric true circle perpendicular to the central axis, and a longitudinal section passing through the central axis.

The base top and the bottom of the base top and the spinning top Incorporating a rotating shaft having a low friction bearing mechanism on the center axis that are in close contact with each other in a non-contact manner, and the rotating top is integrated with the base top so that it can rotate with low friction. This is an inertial rotating device having the above structure.

    The inertial rotation device composed of this basic configuration is shown as a more specific one. It is a cannonball shape, and the longitudinal sectional shape passing through the central axis is a semicircular shape that is line-symmetric with respect to the central axis. A hemispherical shape of the same three-dimensional shape is provided, and a self-rotating top plate having a concentric circular shape perpendicular to the central axis is provided. In addition, the bottom end of the base top and the bottom end of the self-rotating top are in close contact with each other, and a rotating shaft having a low friction bearing mechanism is incorporated on the center axis that is mutually matched. It can be said to be an inertial rotation device having a configuration in which the rotation top is integrated with low friction rotation.

(Related invention)
In connection with the inertial rotating device described above, the present invention also includes its starting method, and its configuration firmly holds the base top and grounds a suitable position slightly eccentric from the rotational axis of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating top. In such a way that the rotating shaft is slightly tilted in a posture so as to draw a linear or arc-shaped arbitrary grounding trajectory, the base is moved in a similar manner, and the same urging operation is repeated as necessary. After rotating the spinning top with a stable high speed with respect to the top, the base spinning is grounded with the base top in a downward position with the top spinning at the same high speed, and the base top is arranged in a low friction. The above-described method for starting the inertial rotating device, which is the basis of the present invention, is configured to rotate stably around the rotating shaft having the bearing mechanism at low friction and at high speed.

    As described above, according to the inertial rotating device of the present invention, unlike conventional ones, a unique stringed configuration as described above can be used to start rotating a string or a rack if・ Other parts such as pinions were required, but these starting parts are basically not necessary at all, and anybody can usually get them with a simple operation with one hand without any special practice. In addition to being able to quickly obtain stable rotation at high speeds that cannot be achieved, low friction rotation of each stage is achieved by minimizing the friction received by the spinning top when the base top is touched down. It can be used for long periods of time that cannot be obtained by conventional tops, so it can be used for a long period of time not only for children but also for adults. It will be possible Not only for use as ingredients top, Application to wide variety of fields, in which Su features is obtained that it becomes one with the potential for practical application.

    In addition, the rotating top and base tops that have the same shape of a hemispherical shape face each other at their bottom ends and incorporate a rotating shaft having a low friction bearing mechanism on the matched central axis. The overall shape of the inertial rotating device becomes a substantially spherical body, and there is no distinction between the spinning top and the base top, and either one of them is held and one of the other outer peripheral wall surfaces is grounded to make any grounding. By quickly rolling and moving to draw a trajectory, anyone can easily obtain low-friction, high-speed and stable rotation, and it can maintain rotation for a long time, so not only as a toy, but also as an interior A wide range of product development is expected, such as application to home appliances and new home appliances.

    In addition, an end portion of the rotating shaft that is integrated to rotate together with the spinning top and that extends into the base top is provided with a power generation rotor, and the power generation stator is disposed within the base top facing the power generation rotor. The inertial rotating device that is installed and forms an internal generator generates electricity when the spinning top rotates with respect to the base top, and can operate various electronic circuits arranged in the base top, for example, emitting light to the appropriate place in the base top A circuit with a built-in circuit that has a light-transmitting window formed on the outer wall of the base top light-emitting unit. The light-emitting circuit light-emitting unit that receives the generated power from the internal generator passes through the light transmitting window, and If the sound generating circuit is built in the appropriate place in the base top and a sound transmitting window is formed on the outer wall corresponding to the sound generating part, the sound generating circuit sound receiving part receiving the generated power from the internal generator transmits sound. To the outside of the base top through the window Therefore, the base top is automatically lit and / or automatically pronounced while the rotation of the rotation of the inertial rotation device and the base top is relatively rotating without any battery. It also helps to reduce battery replacement and disposal, protect the natural environment, and has an outstanding effect that it can be economical at each stage.

    The end of the rotating shaft that is integrated with the base top is extended to the inside of the spinning top, and a power generating stator is provided at the end facing the power generating stator. The inertial rotating device that forms the generator generates electricity when the spinning top rotates with respect to the base top, and can operate various electronic circuits arranged in the spinning top. Built-in and light-emitting part of the self-rotation top that has a light-transmitting window on the outer wall, the light-emitting circuit light-emitting part that receives the power generated from the internal generator illuminates the outside of the self-rotation top If the sound generator is built in the appropriate place in the spinning top and a sound transmission window is formed on the outer wall corresponding to the sound generator, the sound generation circuit sound generator receiving the generated power from the internal generator passes through the sound transmission window. , It will sound outside the spinning top, Without any battery installed, the spinning top of the inertial rotating device, while the base top spinning is relatively rotating, the spinning top is automatically lit and / or pronounced, and in particular, grounded. In a state where the spinning top is rotating on the base top, the spinning top is rotated and emits light and / or sounds, and also helps reduce battery replacement and disposal, protect the natural environment, and is economical for each stage. The excellent feature that it can be made can be demonstrated.

    Furthermore, according to the starting method of the inertial rotating device of the present invention, separate parts such as a string and a rack and pinion are basically unnecessary, and anyone from children to adults can securely hold the base top and rotate. In order to make contact with an appropriate place that is slightly decentered from the rotation axis of the outer peripheral wall of the top, quickly roll and move it to draw any linear or arc-shaped contact track with the rotation axis slightly inclined. If the same energizing action is repeated accordingly, the spinning top can be stably rotated at a high speed with respect to the base top, so there is no need for troublesome practice even for the first-time user. In addition to being able to rotate at high speed, the self-rotating part that is rotating at high speed after starting is turned upward, this base top is grounded as a downward posture, and the base top is arranged above As long as the rotary top part is allowed to rotate stably at a high speed and with low friction around the rotating shaft having a low friction bearing mechanism, the resistance applied to this self-rotation is the minimum of only the low friction bearing mechanism and the surrounding air resistance. It is possible to obtain a great feature that the high-speed rotation of the spinning top can be made sustainable over a long period of time that would not be possible with normal tops. Become.

An arbitrary grounding trajectory is obtained by gripping a jaw in which the spinning top 2 of the shell capsule 8 is built, and grounding a suitable place slightly off from the central axis C of the spherical top surface 33 of the base top 3 exposed at the other exposure port 80. Rolling quickly to draw Even if the outer capsule 8 rolls over so that the central axis C is horizontal, the spinning top 2 and the base top 3 are isolated from the outside. High-speed rotation can be maintained stably.

    When the operation handle 9 is detachably mounted, such as the inertial rotating device 1 shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the operation handle 9 is gripped and slightly decentered from the rotation axis C of the outer peripheral wall surface of the spinning top 2. In order to make the ground contact at the right place, the center of the sliding bearing (not shown) is slightly inclined, and it is quickly rolled to draw any linear or arc-shaped grounding trajectory. After rotating the spinning top 2 stably and at high speed with respect to the base top 3, the operation handle 9 is separated by the detachable fitting mechanism 90 as shown in FIG. It is possible to support the low-friction state so that the self-rotating self-rotating music 2 that is directed upwards through a sliding bearing (not shown) can be stably rotated at a high speed.
