It is not intended to be limited to the following embodiments.

[ Overall configuration ]
First, the overall configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (A) to 1 (C). FIG. 1 conceptually shows a ejection device of an air vehicle to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 1 (A) is a perspective view of the entire air vehicle equipped with the discharge device, and FIG. 1 (B) is mounted on the air vehicle. FIG. 1 (C), which is a cross-sectional view of the discharge device, is a view of (B) viewed from the C direction.

In FIG. 1 (A), 100 represents an air vehicle. The airframe 100 is an unmanned aircraft such as a so-called multicopter, and the airframe 101 includes a fuselage body 102, four arms 103 radially extending from the fuselage body 102, and legs 107 for takeoff and landing. At the tip of the arm 103, four rotary blades 104 are provided via a motor 105, respectively. In the illustrated example, the rotor 104 illustrates four quadcopters, but various known multicopters such as three (tricopters) and six (hexacopters) can be applied. The yaw axis of the machine 101 is in the vertical direction of the paper surface, the roll axis is in the horizontal direction of the paper surface, and the pitch axis is in the front and back directions of the paper surface.
A discharge device 1 containing an aerosol container is mounted on the outside of the body 101 of the flight body 100, in the illustrated example, on the lower surface of the body portion 102 via the discharge device support portion 50. The discharge device 1 is a long body, is arranged with the longitudinal direction facing the roll axis direction, and the nozzle 15 projects from the front end portion thereof toward the front of the machine body.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the discharge device 1 has an aerosol container 10 and discharges the contents of the aerosol container 10 in a state of being mounted on the machine body 101. The discharged content is not limited to a liquid, and the liquid may contain gas such as gas or air, powder or the like.
The aerosol container 10 is mounted on the machine body 101 in a state of being housed in the sleeve (accommodation member) 20. The sleeve 20 has a built-in discharge drive unit 30 for discharging the contents from the aerosol container 10. The sleeve 20 and the aerosol container 10 can be exchanged as one, and in the following description, the assembly in which the aerosol container 10 is housed in the sleeve 20 is referred to as an aerosol container assembly 40. Hereinafter, the configuration of each part will be described.

[About aerosol container]
The aerosol container 10 is a container that ejects the contents by the gas pressure of the compressed gas or the liquefied gas filled inside, and the existing metal aerosol container can be applied, and the aerosol container 10 is made of a pressure-resistant plastic. A container can also be used. In the aerosol container 10, various actuators having flow paths formed according to the discharge direction and the discharge form are mounted on the stem 12. In the illustrated example, an example in which the actuator 14 is attached to the stem 12 of the aerosol container 10 is shown. The actuator 14 includes a linear main body portion 14a provided with a straight discharge flow path and a linear main body portion 14a.
It is configured to include a flange portion 14b that projects from the main body portion 14a in the direction perpendicular to the axis. A nozzle 15 having an injection hole 15a (see FIG. 1C) is connected to the main body 14a of the actuator 14 via a connecting tube 16. It is appropriately selected depending on whether the contents are discharged in the form of mist or as a linear jet, depending on the discharge form and discharge direction of the contents.

In the illustrated example, since the aerosol container 10 is horizontally mounted on the lower surface of the machine body 101 and used, as the form of the propellant and the contents to be sealed, the undiluted solution is contained in the inner bag, and the outer circumference of the inner bag and the inside of the container body are used. An isolated type in which the propellant is housed between the circumference and the circumference is used. If it is an isolated type, it can be discharged even if the posture of the aerosol container is sideways (stem position is sideways) or downward (stem position is down). When the liquid material as the contents of the aerosol container 10 is discharged, the liquid material may be discharged in the form of water droplets, gel, mist, or the like.
However, it is not limited to the isolated type, and when the posture of the aerosol container 10 at the time of discharge is such that the stem 12 is used upward, the two-phase or three-phase container and stem provided with a dip tube are used. When used face down, two-phase and three-phase containers without a dip tube can be applied.

As the propellant carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen _(N 2), a compressed gas, such as nitrous oxide _(N 2 O) are preferred. Further, liquefied gas such as general hydrocarbon (liquefied petroleum gas) (LPG), dimethyl ether (DME), and fluorinated hydrocarbon (HFO-1234ZE) can also be applied. However, non-flammable fluorinated hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, etc. are preferable in consideration of fire safety when heating, and nitrogen is particularly preferable in consideration of environmental load. ..

[Structure of sleeve 20]
The material of the sleeve 20 is made of a metal such as aluminum, plastic, or a lightweight material having high strength such as carbon fiber. Further, not only a hard material but also a soft material, for example, a rubber material such as silicone rubber or urethane foam can be used, that is, various materials capable of maintaining the shape of the accommodating portion accommodating the aerosol container 10. Can be used. The term "sleeve" is used to mean a tubular member that houses a cylindrical aerosol container 10.
The sleeve 20 includes a cylindrical sleeve body 21 having a diameter larger than that of the aerosol container 10, a first end cover 22 that covers one end of the sleeve body 21, and a second end cover provided at the other end. It is composed of a part 23.

The first end cover portion 22 is detachably screwed and fixed to the sleeve body 21 via a screw portion, and the second end cover portion 23 is non-removably fixed to the sleeve body 21. .. The second end cover portion 23 and the sleeve body 21 may be integrated.
The first end cover portion 22 is configured to include a dome-shaped cover main body 222 and a screw cylinder portion 223 screwed into the female screw portion of the sleeve main body 21. The cover body 222 has a conical or dome-shaped curved surface with a rounded tip, the diameter of which is gradually reduced toward the tip in consideration of aerodynamic characteristics. By forming the shape with good aerodynamic characteristics in this way, the influence of the horizontal wind (crosswind) is reduced, and the flight can be stabilized.

The discharge drive unit 30 is housed in the second end cover unit 23 located on the bottom side of the aerosol container 10. The second end cover portion 23 closes the tubular portion 231 whose one end is fixed to the rear end portion (the end on the bottom side of the aerosol container 10) of the sleeve body 21 and the other end of the tubular portion 231. It is configured to include an end plate 232.

[Support structure of aerosol container 10]
The inner diameter of the sleeve 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the body portion 11a of the aerosol container 10. In the sleeve 20 having this configuration, the aerosol container 10 is positioned by supporting both end portions such as the head portion and the bottom portion by the container holding portion 72 and the first end portion cover portion 22. As shown in the figure, when the aerosol container 10 is separated and supported from the wall surface of the sleeve 20 at a certain distance, a heat insulating material or a heat storage material can be interposed in the separated space. However, the body portion 11a of the aerosol container 10 may be supported without being separated from the inner wall of the sleeve 20.

As shown in FIG. 1B, a plurality of radial support portions 21a may be provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 20 to support the aerosol container 10 from a direction intersecting the axial direction of the container. The radial support portion 21a supports the aerosol container 10 so as to allow axial movement and prevent orthogonal movement with respect to the sleeve 20. The individual radial support portions 21a may have a support structure that partially contacts the body portion 11a of the aerosol container 10 at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction, or may have a configuration in which the entire circumference is supported by an annular wall. ..

The sleeve 20 may have a structure in which a part of the sleeve 20 is ventilated instead of a closed structure. For example, a structure such as a mesh structure or punching can be applied. By doing so, there are effects such as alleviating the self-cooling at the time of discharging the aerosol with the outside air and reducing the weight of the sleeve 20.
The bottom portion 11b of the aerosol container 10 is supported by the container holding portion 72 arranged on the second end cover portion 23 side, and the head side of the aerosol container 10 is a pressing member provided on the first end cover portion 22. Supported by 221.
The pressing member 221 is provided at one end of a tubular body 221a and a first end cover that protrudes from the top of the first end cover portion 22 toward the stem 12 in the central axis direction of the aerosol container 10. It is provided with an end flange portion 221b fixed to the portion 22. A connecting tube 16 connecting the actuator 14 and the nozzle 15 is slidably inserted into the inner circumference of the tubular body 221a of the pressing member 221, and the tip surface of the tubular body 221a is the flange portion of the actuator 14. It is in contact with or in close proximity to 14b. The pressing member 221 may be integrally molded with the second end cover portion 23.

Next, the discharge drive unit 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (D) to 1 (F).
The discharge drive unit 30 is arranged in the second end cover portion 23 closer to the second end cover portion 23 than the bottom portion 11b of the aerosol container 10. The discharge drive unit 30 is fixed to the second end cover portion 23, moves the aerosol container 10 along the axial direction, and controls the discharge and stop of the contents of the aerosol container 10.

The discharge drive unit 30 moves the aerosol container 10 to the axial head side by pushing the aerosol container 10 axially from the bottom portion 11b side. The movement of the aerosol container 10 pushes the actuator 14 against the tubular body 221a of the pressing member 221, and the reaction force pushes the stem 12 into the aerosol container 10 so that the valve mechanism in the aerosol container 10 opens. It has become. When the valve mechanism opens, the contents are automatically discharged by the gas pressure.

The discharge drive unit 30 includes a motor 31 that is a rotation drive source, and a cam mechanism 32 that converts the rotation of the motor 31 into a linear motion of the container holding unit 72. The motor 31 and the cam mechanism 32 are assembled to the frame 301 fixed to the second end cover portion 23. The cam mechanism 32 is provided with a cam 32a that is rotationally driven by the motor 31 and a cam follower 32b that moves along the cam surface of the cam 32a. The rotation of the cam 32a is transmitted to the container holding portion 72 on the driven side via the cam follower 32b, and is moved in a linear direction in the container central axis N direction of the aerosol container 10. The cam 32a in the illustrated example is an oval disc cam, and the cam axis is orthogonal to the central axis of the aerosol container 10. With this configuration, the rotation of the cam 32a is converted into a linear motion of the aerosol container 10. Since the cam 32a is a disc cam, an urging means such as a spring for constantly bringing the cam follower 32b into contact with the cam 32a is appropriately provided.

Normally, the minimum diameter portion of the cam 32a is in contact with the cam follower 32b, the container holding portion 72 is in the retracted limit position, and the valve mechanism of the aerosol container 10 is held in a closed state (FIG. 1 (D). )). By rotating the cam 32a by the motor 31, the container holding portion 72 advances in the axial direction. That is, the contact position of the cam 32a with which the cam follower 32b abuts at the backward limit position has a small diameter from the center of rotation, and the contact position of the cam 32a with which the cam follower 32b abuts at the forward limit position has a large diameter from the center of rotation. ing. In the illustrated example, the valve is opened not at the maximum diameter portion of the cam 32a but at the transition portion from the minimum diameter portion to the maximum diameter portion, but the valve may be opened at the maximum diameter portion.

[Valve configuration]
FIG. 2B shows an example of the valve mechanism 13 of the aerosol container 10 opened by the discharge drive unit 30.
That is, the stem 12 is provided with a discharge flow path 12a extending by a predetermined dimension in the axial direction from the tip opening, and a stem hole 12b serving as a valve hole is opened on the side surface of the stem 12, and the stem hole 12b is a mounting cup. It is sealed by the inner peripheral surface of the gasket 13a attached to the edge of the insertion hole of 11d.
Normally, the stem 12 is urged in the protruding direction by the gas pressure and the urging force of the spring 13b, and the inner peripheral edge of the gasket 13a serving as the valve body is pressed in the axial direction so that the inner peripheral surface of the gasket 13a presses the valve seat. The valve is maintained in a closed state in close contact with the hole edge of the constituent stem holes 12b.

When the container holding portion 72 moves to the forward limit by the cam mechanism 32 of the discharge driving portion 30, the aerosol container 10 moves to the first end cover portion 22 side, and the flange portion 14b of the actuator 14 moves to the pressing member 221. It abuts on the end face, and the reaction force pushes the stem 12 relatively toward the inside of the container. When the stem 12 is pushed in, the inner peripheral edge of the gasket 13a bends toward the inside of the container, the inner peripheral surface of the gasket 13a opens apart from the hole edge of the stem hole 12b, and the contents pushed by gas pressure. Is discharged from the discharge flow path 12a of the stem 12.

The valve mechanism 13 of the illustrated example is an example, and is not limited to such a configuration, and various configurations that normally maintain the valve closed state and open the valve by pushing the stem 12 can be applied. ..
In this example, the cam mechanism 32 converts the rotational motion of the motor 31 into a linear motion, but the present invention is not limited to the cam mechanism 32. For example, a screw feed mechanism, a rack and pinion, or the like is used as a motor. Any mechanism that converts the rotational motion of 31 into a linear motion can be applied. Further, instead of the rotary motor, a linear motor for linear drive or a linear drive source such as an electromagnetic solenoid may be used, and the aerosol container 10 may be moved in the axial direction without using a motion conversion mechanism.

Further, the nozzle 15 is provided with various liquid dripping prevention members 700 as described later, or the nozzle 15 itself functions as a liquid dripping prevention member 700. Further, among the nozzles, a member located in front of the discharge port in the discharge direction, which is particularly important for exerting the liquid dripping prevention function, may be considered as the liquid dripping prevention member 700. When electrical control is required to exert the liquid dripping prevention effect, such as the liquid dripping prevention member 700 having a lid opening / closing mechanism, the liquid dripping prevention member 700 is connected to the power supply by electrical wiring. Further, the power supply may be arranged on the liquid dripping prevention member 700. The liquid dripping prevention member 700 is configured to be removable from the discharge device.

[Container holder 72]
The container holding portion 72 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (D) to 1 (F).
The container holding portion 72 is an annular convex portion that holds a disc portion 72a that abuts on the bottom portion 11b of the aerosol container 10 and an end portion on the bottom side of the body portion 11a of the aerosol container 10 from the outer diameter end portion of the disc portion 72a. It includes a 72b and a connecting shaft portion 72c provided at the center of the surface of the disk portion 72a on the motor side. An anti-slip material 73 that enhances the frictional force with the container body is attached to the annular convex portion 72b.

[Configuration example of discharge drive unit]
The discharge drive unit 30 shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and the method shown in FIG. 3 can be applied as the configuration of the discharge drive unit 30. In FIG. 3, the sleeve 20 is shown as a square for simplification.
FIG. 3A shows a configuration in which the actuator 14 side of the aerosol container 10 is fixed to the sleeve 20 and the contact member 30B abutting on the bottom portion 11b of the aerosol container 10 is pushed up by the drive unit 30A. The discharge drive unit 30 in FIG. 1 is an example of this method. In this method, since the actuator 14 side mounted on the stem 12 is fixed, the discharge position accuracy is improved. In addition, it can be used for aerosol containers 10 having various diameters.

FIG. 3B shows a configuration in which the aerosol container 10 is fixed to the sleeve 20 and the stem 12 is pushed down by the discharge drive unit 30 via the actuator 14. That is, the discharge drive unit 30 drives the contact member 30B in contact with the actuator 14 in the direction of being pushed down by the drive unit 30A. In this way, the mechanical mechanism can be concentrated on one side of the aerosol container 10, so that the structure is compact and easy to replace. In addition, it can be used for aerosol containers 10 of various heights.
The drive unit 30A shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B may be configured as long as it is a mechanism that drives in a linear direction, and motion conversion such as a cam or a screw feed mechanism that converts the rotational motion of the rotary motor in the linear direction. A mechanism can be used, and instead of a rotary motor, a linear motor for linear drive, an electromagnetic solenoid, or the like can be used.

FIG. 3C shows an external valve 30C controlled by an external valve 30C instead of an internal valve of the aerosol container 10. In the figure, the external valve 30C is conceptually described, and can be configured to be opened and closed by an electromagnetic valve or the like. When the external valve 30C is used, since the stem 12 of the aerosol container 10 is only connected to the pipeline 30D, the aerosol container 10 can be easily attached and the opening / closing control can be easily performed. When the existing aerosol container 10 is used, for example, when assembling the aerosol container 10, the stem 12 is pushed in to keep the internal valve in a constantly open state.

[electrical equipment]
Next, returning to FIG. 1A, the electrical equipment for driving the discharge drive unit 30 will be described. FIG. 1A conceptually describes the electrical equipment mounted on the flying object.

The discharge device control unit 210, the discharge device communication unit 212, and the discharge device power supply 211 may have the roles of the flight control unit 110, the flight communication unit 112, and a part or all of the flight power supply. .. FIG. 2C is an example of sharing the power supply arranged in the flight control unit 110.
When a control unit, a power supply unit, and a communication unit are required to operate the liquid dripping prevention member 700, the discharge device control unit 210, the discharge device power supply 211, and the discharge device communication unit 212 are the control unit and the power supply. It may also serve as a unit and a communication unit.

[Support structure with the aircraft]
The discharge device support portion 50 that supports the discharge device 1 on the machine body 101 may have, for example, a slide-type fitting structure of a slide rail and a T-shaped groove, or a configuration that can be hooked and detached in the rotation direction such as a bayonet coupling. , Screwing, clip coupling, clamps, and various other support means that facilitate removal and attachment can be applied, and the discharge device support portion 50 may be provided with a direction changing device such as a gimbal.
Further, the discharge device support unit 50 may be provided with an electric contact for electrically connecting the discharge device control unit 210 and the power supply 211 for the discharge device arranged on the machine body 101 side and the motor 31 of the discharge drive unit 30. Then, the sleeve 20 may be directly connected to the connector arranged on the machine body 101 with a cable or the like. In addition, the sleeve 20 has a power source such as a secondary battery and a wireless communication device, and the electric signal from the flight control unit 110 arranged on the machine body 101 side is transmitted by wireless communication to the discharge device control unit in the sleeve 20. You may send and receive with 210.

Next, the operation of the ejection device for the flying object of the present invention will be described.

A replacement aerosol container assembly 40 in which the aerosol container 10 is housed in the sleeve 20 is prepared in advance as shown in FIG. 1 (B). At the time of replacement, the aerosol container assembly 40 is removed from the discharge device support portion 50, and a new aerosol container assembly 40 is attached. Replacing the discharge device support portion 50 can be facilitated by, for example, having a configuration in which the discharge device support portion 50 can be easily attached and detached by manual operation without using a tool. After the replacement, the aerosol container assembly 40 takes out the aerosol container 10 from the sleeve 20 and completely releases the gas and the contents for disposal. The sleeve 20 can be used repeatedly. Further, only the aerosol container 10 can be replaced while the sleeve 20 is fixed to the machine body 101.

The liquid dripping prevention member 700 of this reference example 1 is roughly a mounting portion 710 that maintains a connection with the connecting tube 16 at the time of mounting, a lid body 720 that can be opened and closed, and a prevention member drive unit 730 (drive) for opening and closing the lid body. Part).

The mounting portion 710 shown by hatching in the drawing includes an inner fitting portion 711 and an outer fitting portion 712 as a configuration for fitting each other with the connecting tube 16. The inner fitting portion 711 is a short tubular member that projects in the longitudinal direction so as to be inserted into the tube at the time of fitting. The outer peripheral diameter of the inner fitting portion 711 is smaller than the inner peripheral diameter of the connecting tube 16. Further, a pressure contact portion 711c is provided near the protruding tip of the inner fitting portion 711. Since the outer peripheral diameter of the pressure welding portion 711c is larger than the inner peripheral diameter of the connecting tube 16, when the elastic inner fitting portion 711 is inserted into the connecting tube, the pressure welding portion 711c applies pressure to the connecting tube 16 from the inside. Therefore, the friction between the connecting tube 16 and the inner fitting portion 711 increases, and the connection is maintained.
The outer fitting portion 712 is a short tubular member having an inner peripheral diameter larger than the outer peripheral diameter of the connecting tube 16 into which the connecting tube 16 is inserted.
The end surface 713 of the mounting portion 710 is provided with a tip portion 714 protruding outward. By providing the liquid substance passage hole 715 inside the tip portion 714, the shape of the discharge port can be changed by simply replacing the tip portion 714 as compared with the case where a hole as a discharge port is simply provided on the end face 713. Therefore, the versatility can be increased.

With this configuration, a passage region for the liquid material including the internal space 16a of the connecting tube 16, the internal space 711a of the mounting portion 710, and the passage hole 715 is formed, and the discharge port is arranged at the tip of the passage hole 715.
With the liquid dripping prevention member 700 having this configuration, the existing connecting tube 16 can be mounted without modification, and the ejection performance as the nozzle 15 can be maintained. The configuration of the mounting portion is not limited to this, and for example, the outer fitting portion 712 may be in contact with the connecting tube 16 and fixed by friction, or may be attached to both the outer fitting portion 712 and the inner fitting portion 711. The connecting tube 16 may be in contact with the connecting tube 16. Further, the tip portion 161 of the connecting tube 16 may be brought into contact with the inner wall 716 of the base portion of the mounting portion 710 for positioning.

The lid body 720 includes a flat plate-shaped lid body 721 connected to the mounting portion 710 by the lid body connecting portion 722. The lid body 721 has an area that covers at least the tip portion 161. The lid connection portion 722 has a hinge structure and rotatably supports the lid body 721. As shown in FIG. 5B, a lid having a size that does not interfere (contact) between the tip portion 714 and the lid body 721 even in the closed state at a position of the lid body 721 facing the tip portion 714 in the closed state. A body recess 723 is provided.
The lid body 721 is connected to the linear motion unit 732 of the prevention member drive unit 730 (drive unit) via the linear motion connection member 731. Both ends of the linear motion connecting member 731 are configured as hinges.

The prevention member drive unit 730 of Reference Example 1 is a solenoid actuator. At the base 733 of the prevention member drive unit 730, a linear motion unit 732 that can move left and right in the drawing is arranged in accordance with a command from the discharge device control unit 210. The drive unit is not limited to the solenoid actuator. For example, an electroactive polymer actuator, an artificial muscle actuator such as a dielectric elastomer, a rack and pinion mechanism using an electric motor, a worm rack mechanism, and a slide cam mechanism are used. Any opening and closing mechanism that can open and close the lid body 721 may be used.
In the illustrated example, the hinge of the lid connecting portion 722 for connecting the lid main body 721 to the mounting portion 710 is provided so as to be placed vertically above the discharge port when the aircraft is in flight. Be done. With this arrangement, even if the drive unit breaks down during flight and the opening / closing mechanism does not operate, the lid body 721 will be in a state of covering the discharge port due to gravity, so until the aircraft returns. Can prevent dripping.

If the prevention member drive unit 730 (cover drive unit) of this configuration is used, the nozzle can be closed during discharge, open only during discharge, and closed again when discharge is completed. Since it can be formed, it is possible to prevent dripping from the tip of the nozzle.
The trigger for opening and closing the lid may be a direct instruction by the operator. In that case, the operation terminal 160 may be provided with an open button and a close button of the lid separately from the discharge button 163 and the stop button 164. Alternatively, normally, the nozzle may be kept in the closed state, and the discharge device control unit 210 may drive the solenoid actuator in conjunction with pressing the discharge button 163 to open the nozzle. In this way, by interlocking the discharge operation with the opening operation and the closing operation of the lid, it is possible to achieve both discharge and prevention of liquid dripping.
Even if the structure does not have a mechanism for opening and closing the lid body by power, the lid body can be opened and closed by the pressure when the liquid material is discharged. In this case, the configuration of the opening / closing mechanism can be simplified.

<Modification example>
In Reference Example 1 above, the aerosol container is configured as a container for a liquid substance, and the discharge device is an aerosol discharge device, but the discharge device in the present invention is not limited to the aerosol discharge device.

FIG. 18 is an unmanned device including a liquid tank 180, a pump 182 that pumps liquid to a nozzle, a connecting tube 16 as a pipe that is a flow path for liquid from the pump to the nozzle, and a nozzle 15 as a discharge port. This is an example of an aircraft. The tank 180 holds the liquid to be discharged. When the sprinkling operation starts, the liquid is pumped by operating the pump 182. The liquid passes through the connecting tube 184 and is sprinkled from the nozzle 15. By providing the nozzle 15 with the above-mentioned dripping prevention member, dripping of the discharge device is prevented.

Next, another reference example of the discharge device of the present invention and an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, only the parts different from those of Reference Example 1 will be described, and the same components will be designated by the same reference numerals and the description will be omitted.
[ Reference example 2]
The liquid dripping prevention member 700 of Reference Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C. The liquid dripping prevention member of this reference example also has a lid body 720, but the opening / closing mechanism of the lid body is different. That is, this reference example is a method in which the lid body 720 changes its position in a direction intersecting the direction in which the discharged material is discharged.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the configuration of the mounting portion 710 and the passage of the liquid material is the same as that of Reference Example 1. In this reference example , a tubular portion 740 is provided, and a lid body 720 is provided at the end thereof. The length of the tubular portion 740 is not limited to the illustrated example, and it is sufficient that the length of the tubular portion 740 is at least such that the lid body 721 does not come into contact with the tip portion 714 during the opening / closing operation. The presence of the tubular portion 740 can prevent contact between the tip portion 714 and the lid body 721. The tubular portion 740 will be described in detail later.

The lid body 721 of this reference example has a substantially circular shape, and is rotatably attached to the drive shaft 734 at the connection portion 736 near the circumference. Further, the prevention member drive unit 730 of this reference example is a motor 735 that rotationally moves the drive shaft 734, and the lid body 721 rotates with the rotational movement as shown in FIGS. 6 (B) and 6 (C). Operate. As a result, the state of the nozzle is switched between the open state of (B) and the closed state of (C). The discharge device control unit 210 switches between an open state and a closed state by controlling the start and stop of rotation of the motor 735 of the prevention member drive unit 730 and the rotation angle. That is , according to this reference example, it is possible to control the opening and closing of the nozzle discharge port with a relatively simple configuration and control, and prevent liquid dripping during non-discharge.
It should be noted that the opening / closing control of the discharge port can be controlled even in a linear movement method in which the lid body 720 slides in a direction intersecting the discharge direction instead of rotating.

[ Reference example 3]
This reference example is also a method in which the lid body 720 changes its position in the direction intersecting the discharge direction. In Reference Example 2, the lid body 720 was rotated or slid, but in this reference example , a drawing mechanism is used as the lid body 720.

The liquid dripping prevention member 700 of Reference Example 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B. The lid body 720 is a drawing mechanism provided at the end of the tubular portion 740. The diaphragm mechanism includes a plurality of diaphragm blades 724 and a diaphragm unit 725 having a cam or the like and accommodating the diaphragm blades 724. As the aperture mechanism, a mechanism similar to that used for cameras can be used.
The configuration of this reference example also prevents liquid dripping from the discharge port.

[ Reference example 4]
The liquid dripping prevention member 700 of Reference Example 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. The liquid dripping prevention member of this reference example has a configuration including both a lid body 720 and a tubular portion 740. The tubular portion 740 is a member that covers a space in a predetermined range in the discharge direction from the discharge port, and forms a tubular portion space 740a in front of the discharge direction. Due to the presence of the tubular portion 740, a certain degree of liquid dripping prevention effect can be obtained even when the lid body 721 is in the open state. Further, by closing the lid body 721 in a closed state, the effect of preventing liquid dripping is further improved. The tubular portion will be described in detail later.
In FIG. 8, a solenoid actuator is used as the opening / closing mechanism of the lid, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any method can be adopted.

[ Reference Example 5]

As a result, the protruding portion 738 functions as a receiving portion for receiving the liquid material that has caused the liquid to drip. The protruding portion 738 may be provided integrally with the mounting portion 710, or may be provided separately from the mounting portion 710 and used in combination.
In the example of FIG. 9, the protruding surface of the protruding portion 738 is provided with a wall-shaped portion 737 perpendicular to the tip portion in the discharge direction. Therefore, even when the amount of the liquid material that has caused the liquid to drip is large, the protruding portion functions as a storage portion for the liquid material, and the possibility of leaking the liquid material to the outside is reduced. However, even if there is no wall-shaped portion 737, the presence of the protruding portion 738 functions as a receiving portion, so that a certain degree of liquid dripping prevention performance can be obtained.

According to this reference example , since a mechanism for opening and closing the lid is not required, the effect of preventing dripping can be obtained while reducing the possibility of failure. However, also in the liquid dripping prevention member 700 of the present embodiment, a lid covering the front space 735a of the discharge port in the discharge direction is provided to form a closed space between the lid and the protruding portion to enhance the effect of preventing leakage. You may. As the opening / closing mechanism of the lid, any mechanism such as the mechanism described in other reference examples can be used.
