The arm portion 4 of the support base 2 is formed in a flat plate shape, with one end fixed to the base portion 3 with the thickness direction facing the front side (left side in FIG. 1) and a square shape drawn diagonally upward and rearward in side view. It is formed as follows. Further, the hinge 5 attached to the rear side (right side in FIG. 1) of the arm part 4 is configured so that the fixed part 51 is attached to the side part of the arm part 4 and the movable part 52 is rotated outward about the arm part 4. Installed. A blade body 71 of the movable leaf body 7 is attached to the upper surface of the movable part 52 of each hinge 5, and the lower surface of the movable part 52 of each hinge 5 is supported by the pressing member 16 (see FIG. 2) connected to the solenoid 10. . A fixed leaf body 8 fixed to the front side of the arm portion 4 is attached to the front of the arm portion 4.
[0016]
Since a commercially available hinge can be easily obtained, it can be attached inexpensively and easily. Note that the number of hinges 5 attached to the movable leaf body 7 is not limited to the above, and it may be one each on the side of the arm portion 4 or may be many.
[0017]
The solenoid 10 has a fixed iron core 11 and a movable iron core 12, and may have a generally known configuration in which the movable iron core 12 is attracted and moved to the fixed iron core 11 side by excitation of the coil 13, and the fixed iron core 11 is directed upward. Attach to the base 3. A pin 15 attached above the movable iron core 12 is fitted with a pressing member 16 penetrating the fixed iron core 11 and having a U-shape formed in a front view at the tip. Further, the solenoid 10 is located at the center position of the two hinges 5 disposed so that the center position of the pressing member 16 at the tip is opposed to each other, and can simultaneously press the movable portion 52 of the hinge 5 disposed in the front-rear direction. To the base 3. Of course, it may be configured to drive the hinges arranged opposite to each other with two solenoids.
[0018]
The movable leaf body 7 is composed of two blade bodies 71 and each blade body 71 is attached to a movable section 52 of a hinge 5 mounted with the arm section 4 interposed therebetween. Since each blade body 71 is formed in a shape substantially the same as that of a fly rush, a plurality of protruding barbs 72 are provided on the outer peripheral portion. In addition, three sensors 9 are attached to each blade body 71, and sensing is made when the fly model 20 shown in FIGS. Of the three sensors 9, one sensor 9B in the middle is located near the center of the movable leaf 7, that is, on the arm 4 side, and the other two sensors 9A are on the outer edge side of the movable leaf 7. A single sensor is mounted on the upper and lower sides of the middle sensor 9B. The position of each sensor 9 is not particularly limited.
[0019]
The sensor 9 may be a touch sensor that senses when the fly model 20 comes in contact, a proximity switch that senses when the fly model 20 approaches, or an optical sensor that senses when the fly model 20 passes. Of the three sensors 9, the fly model 20 contacts or approaches the two sensors 9 </ b> A (or 9 </ b> B), so that the solenoid 10 is actuated to close the movable leaf body 7.
[0020]
The fly model 20 is configured by attaching a long operation rod 21 to a fly-shaped model, and the fly model 20 is brought close to the sensor 9 in the movable leaf body 7 of the fly-fly model 1 by a human hand.
[0021]
Next, the operation of the jumper model 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0022]
Normally, the movable leaf body 7 of the flytrap model 1 is in an open state as shown in FIG. At this time, the blade body 71 of the movable leaf body 7 is supported by the pressing member 16 attached to the tip of the solenoid 10 as shown in FIG. The fly model 20 is moved by hand into the movable leaf body 7. When the fly model 20 is brought into contact with the sensor 9 of one blade body 71, for example, the sensor 9A mounted on the outer edge side, the movable leaf body 7 is still held open. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the fly model 20 is brought into contact with the center sensor 9 </ b> B, the two sensors 9 are sensed, so that the coil 13 of the solenoid 10 is immediately excited to move the movable core 12. Is attracted to the fixed iron core 11 and the pin 15 is moved upward. As the pin 15 moves, the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 supported by the pressing member 16 moves inwardly around the shaft support part by moving the pressing member 16 upward as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Rotate towards. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the movable leaf body 7 is closed around the arm portion 4 with the fly model 20 stored therein. In the state where the movable leaf body 7 is closed, the fly models 20 can be contained by alternately overlapping the barbs 72 formed on the outer edge of each blade body 71.
[0023]
The fly rush model is not limited to the above, and other forms are also conceivable. For example, as for the fly rush model 31 shown in FIGS. 6-9, what attaches to the movable leaf body 7 and opens and closes the movable leaf body 7 is comprised by a linear body.
[0024]
The jumping wig model 31 includes a support base 32 having a base portion 33 and an arm portion 34 standing obliquely rearward from the base portion 33, a linear body support member 35 fixed on the arm portion 34, and a linear body The two linear bodies 36 inserted through the support member 35, the movable leaf body 7 similar to the above that is attached to the tip of each linear body 36, and the above-mentioned that is fixed on the linear body support member 36. The fixed leaf body 8 is configured similarly, and includes a solenoid 40 and a pressing member 46 that are connected to the other end of the linear body 36 and rotate the linear body 36.
[0025]
The arm portion 34 of the support base 32 is formed in a flat plate shape as in the above-described embodiment, and is formed so that one end is fixed to the base portion 33 with the thickness direction facing the front surface side and is refracted obliquely upward toward the rear. ing. As shown in FIG. 9, the fixed leaf body 8 is attached to the front surface of the arm portion 34 via a linear body support member 35 in which the upper surface and the lower surface of the round member are cut out in a planar shape. In the linear body support member 35, two through holes 35a are formed in the longitudinal direction so as to be located outside the both side surfaces of the arm portion 34, and the linear bodies 36 are respectively inserted into the through holes 35a.
[0026]
Each linear body 36 inserted through the through hole 35a is formed of, for example, a piano wire, and extends downward before the entrance of the linear body support member 35 as shown in FIG. 6, and as shown in FIG. The two linear bodies 36 are refracted away from the lower end portion, and the refracted front refracting portion 36a is supported by the pressing member 46. Each linear body 36 protruding from the outlet of the linear body support member 35 is slightly refracted downward from the rear of the outlet, and on the rear end side, as shown in FIG. Each blade body 71 of the movable leaf body 7 is attached to the upper surface of the rear refracting portion 36b that is refracted so as to draw an arc in a direction away from it and refracted in an arc shape. Mounting the linear body on the back surface of the blade body 71 can improve the appearance of the movable leaf body 7 because the linear body itself can reduce the attachment area to the blade body 71.
[0027]
As described above, the solenoid 40 has the fixed iron core 41 and the movable iron core 42, and the movable iron core 42 is attracted and moved to the fixed iron core 41 side by the excitation of the coil 43, and the pin 45 extends in the longitudinal direction of the base 33. Mounted sideways to move. A pin 45 attached to the tip of the movable iron core 42 penetrates through the fixed iron core 41 and a pressing member 46 formed in a U-shape in plan view as shown in FIG. The pressing member 46 is formed with a groove portion 46 a into which the front refracting portion 36 a of the linear body 36 described above is fitted. When the pressing member 46 moves forward via the pin 45 by driving the solenoid 40, the linear body 36. The front refracting portion 36a is pressed so that the front refracting portion 36a is rotated with respect to the axial center of each through hole 35a of the linear body support member 35 (hereinafter referred to as the rotation support portion 35b). Along with the rotation of the front refracting portion 36a of the linear body 36, the rear refracting portion 36b is rotated to rotate the blade body 71 attached to the rear refracting portion 36b.
[0028]
Since the three sensors 9 are attached to each blade body 71 in the same manner as described above, the fly model 20 is brought into contact with any two of the three sensors 9 with the operation rod 21 to provide solenoids. 40 is driven. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, when the coil 43 is excited by energizing the solenoid 40, the movable iron core 42 is attracted and moved to the fixed iron core 41, and the pin 45 and the pressing member 46 are moved forward. The pressing member 46 presses the front refracting portion 36a of the linear body 36 fitted in the groove 46a, and the front refracting portion 36a rotates around the rotation support portion 36c, whereby the rear refracting portion 36b rotates. The movable leaf body 7 is closed, and the fly model 20 entering the movable leaf body 7 is captured.
[0029]
The means for opening and closing the movable leaf body 7 by attaching it to the movable leaf body 7 is not limited to the hinge or the linear body. In addition, the movable leaf body 7 can be opened and closed by air or a hydraulic cylinder or the like instead of the solenoid.
[0030]
