[1. Outline of basic operation]
The basic operation of the flying object device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the basic operation of the flying object device according to the embodiment. In FIG. 1, the flying object device 10 is shown as an example of the flying object device according to the embodiment.

The flying object device 10 can detachably park (fix) the flying object. The flying object device 10 may be operated by, for example, the lift (propulsive force) of the flying object at the time of leaving. That is, the flying object device 10 may be, for example, a device having a simple structure that does not have a power source by itself. The flying object device 10 may have a support portion 110, a connection portion 120, and a mounting portion 130.

The support portion 110 can support the connection portion 120. The support portion 110 may support, for example, one end of the connection portion 120 so that the connection portion 120 can rotate and move around one end of the connection portion 120 (the right end in the example of FIG. 1). The material of the support portion 110 is not particularly limited as long as it can withstand the weight of the flying object. The support portion 110 may be made of, for example, metal, carbon fiber, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), synthetic resin, plastic or the like.

The connecting portion 120 can be connected to the supporting portion 110 and the mounting portion 130. The connection portion 120 may be connected to the support portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 at any structural portion of the connection portion 120. The connecting portion 120 may be connected to the support portion 110 at one end (right end in the example of FIG. 1) and may be connected to the mounting portion 130 at the other end (left end in the example of FIG. 1), for example. The material of the connecting portion 120 is not particularly limited as long as it can withstand the weight of the flying object. The connecting portion 120 may be made of, for example, metal, carbon fiber, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), synthetic resin, plastic or the like. The connecting portion 120 may be, for example, a rod-shaped member. Further, the connecting portion 120 may be, for example, a stretchable string-shaped member. The shape of the connecting portion 120 is not particularly limited as long as the support portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 can be connected. The connection portion 120 may be straight, for example. The connection portion 120 may be curved, for example. The connecting portion 120 may be provided with a bendable mechanism such as a hinge.

For example, the connection portion between the connection portion 120 and the support portion 110 and the connection portion between the support portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 may be fixed, respectively. That is, the connecting portion 120 may be connected to, for example, these parts so that the supporting portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 do not move at the seams. Specifically, the connecting portion 120 may be welded and connected to, for example, the supporting portion 110 and the connecting portion 120. Further, for example, the connection portion between the connection portion 120 and the support portion 110 and the connection portion between the support portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 may be movable. That is, the connecting portion 120 may be connected to these parts so that, for example, the supporting portion 110 and the mounting portion 130 move at the seam. Specifically, the connecting portion 120 may be connected to the support portion 110 and the connecting portion 120 via a movable fixture such as a hinge.

The mounting portion 130 can be attached to and detached from the flying object. The mounting portion 130 may be provided, for example, at one end of the connecting portion 120 (the left end in the example of FIG. 1). The attachment portion 130 may have a mechanism (attachment / detachment mechanism) for attaching / detaching the flying object. The attachment / detachment mechanism may be a mechanism in which the flying object can be attached / detached by rotating the attachment portion 130 together with the connection portion 120. The material of the mounting portion 130 is not particularly limited as long as it can withstand the weight of the flying object. The mounting portion 130 may be made of, for example, metal, carbon fiber, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), synthetic resin, plastic or the like.

The flying object device 10 may be attached to the wall surface of the structure. The flying object device 10 may be attached to a wall (either an outer wall or an inner wall) of the building BD as in the example of FIG. The building BD may be, for example, a building (for example, various public facilities such as a skyscraper or a shopping mall), a mobile phone base station, or the like.

The support 110 of the flying object device 10 may have a dedicated mounting device for attaching the main body of the flying object device 10 to the wall. The mounting device is not particularly limited as long as it can mount the flying object and can withstand the load of the flying object. The mounting device may be, for example, a screw, a clamp, a wire, a chain, a suction cup, a magnet, or the like. The attachment may be made of, for example, metal, carbon fiber, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), synthetic resin, plastic, wood, or the like. Further, the shape of the mounting device may be the shape of the place where the main body of the flying object device 10 is mounted or any shape according to the environment. The flying object device 10 may be installed on the ground (floor). Further, the flying object device 10 may be attached with an adhesive instead of the attachment, for example. Further, the flying object device 10 may be attached, for example, via an attachment device or directly to the support portion 110. Further, the flying object device 10 may be attached, for example, by embedding the support portion 110 in concrete or the like.

The flying object device 10 can suspend the flying object from a wall such as a building while the flying object is parked. Further, since the flying object device 10 can suspend the flying object to the wall, it is possible to easily secure a parking place for parking the flying object. Further, the flying object device 10 may be mounted on a wall surface having a height that is not easily reachable by human hands, for example. According to this, the air vehicle device 10 can reduce the risk of theft of the air vehicle parked.

Hereinafter, the operation of the flying object device 10 will be described by taking the case where the flying object device 10 is attached to the wall as an example. Even when the flying object device 10 is installed on the ground (floor), the flying object device 10 may operate in the same manner.

An example of the basic operation of the flying object device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The flying object device 10 itself does not have a power source and may operate by a force (lift) received from a moving body. The flying object device 10 can be transformed into a state in which the flying object can be held (first state) and a state in which the flying object can be attached and detached (second state). That is, the flying object device 10 can hold the flying object in the first state, for example. Further, the flying object device 10 can be transformed from the first state to the second state, and the flying object can be attached and detached in the second state, for example. In FIG. 1, a drone DN is shown as an example of an air vehicle. Therefore, FIG. 1 shows an example of the basic operation when the flying object device 10 is transformed from the first state in which the drone DN is parked to the second state and the drone DN is separated from the flying object device 10. Shows.

In the first state, the drone DN may be parked in the flying object device 10 so as to be suspended from the flying object device 10 attached to the wall of the building BD. In such a state, it is assumed that the user who owns the drone DN performs remote control in order to make the drone DN take off. For example, it is assumed that the user activates the drone DN by remote control. Then, the drone DN tries to move away from the flying object device 10 by the lift due to the rotation of the propeller. Specifically, the drone DN moves to the sky toward the second state in an attempt to move away from the flying object device 10.

When the drone DN moves to the sky in this way, the air vehicle device 10 is lifted by the lift (lifting propulsion force) of the drone DN toward the sky. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the flying object device 10 rotates and moves in the direction (upward) along the support portion 110 by the lift of the drone DN with the support portion 110 as the axis of rotation. Here, the mounting portion 130 has an annular shape in which the open portion does not exist in the first state, but a part of the mounting portion 130 is released in response to the lift of the flying object device 10 by the lift of the drone DN. It is a mechanism (this point will be described in detail in FIG. 2).

Then, the drone DN can be separated from the flying object device 10 when the flying object device 10 is in the second state. Specifically, for example, as the flying object device 10 rotates and moves, a part of the mounting portion 130 is gradually released. Then, when the rotation angle of the flying object device 10 reaches a certain angle, the drone DN is released and can be separated from the flying object device 10.

As described above, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment has a detachable mechanism in which a part of the mounting portion 130 is released when the flying object device 10 is rotationally moved by the force of the flying object. Therefore, according to the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment, it is possible to realize a parking place where the flying object can be detachably parked.

Further, the support portion 110 may support one end of the connection portion 120 so that the support portion 110 can rotate and move according to the propulsive force when the flying object separates from the mounting portion 130. According to this, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can realize a parking place that does not require a dedicated power source. That is, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can save space for a parking place and realize a portable parking place.

[2. Details of the configuration and operation of the aircraft device]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of details of the configuration and operation of the flying object device according to the embodiment. First, the attachment / detachment mechanism in the attachment portion 130 will be described. The mounting portion 130 may have a first annulus member 140 and a second annulus member 151. The first annular member 140 may be an annular member. The first annular member 140 may have an opening (first opening) in which a part of the annular ring is open. The second annular member 151 may be an annular member. The second annulus member 151 may have an opening (second opening) in which a part of the annulus is open. The attachment / detachment mechanism may be configured by combining the first annulus member 140 and the second annulus member 151.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, the first opening included in the first annular member 140 is shown as the first opening 141 in FIG. 5B as an example. Similarly, although not shown in FIG. 2, the second opening included in the second ring member 151 is shown as, as an example, the second opening 153 in FIG. 6 (b).

The mounting portion 130 may have a weight member 152 connected to the second annulus member 151. The weight member 152 can function as a weight for keeping the orientation of the second annulus member 151 constant. That is, the weight member 152 can apply a force in the direction of gravity to the second annulus member 151. According to this, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can easily maintain the second state. That is, according to the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment, the flying object is likely to start from the flying object device 10. Further, according to the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment, the flying object can be easily attached to the attachment portion 130.

The weight member 152 may be provided in the horizontal direction with respect to the second ring member 151. Specifically, the weight member 152 may be provided in the horizontal direction with respect to the second ring member 151 so as to extend outward from the center of the ring of the second ring member 151. Hereinafter, the member composed of the second ring member 151 and the weight member 152 will be referred to as "second member 150". That is, the mounting portion 130 may have a detachable mechanism (detachable mechanism 130) in which the first annular member 140 and the second member 150 are combined.

Further, although not shown in FIG. 2, the first annular member 140 may have a notch portion which is a notched groove having a predetermined length along the annulus. The cut portion is shown as a cut portion 142 in FIG. 5 (c) as an example. The notch may be provided, for example, at a position where the weight member 152 can be projected from the inside of the cavity in the direction of gravity. The weight member 152 may be slidably controlled along the annulus of the first annulus member 140 by the notch 142.

Here, the combination of the first annular member 140 and the second member 150 will be described in more detail. The inside of the first annular member 140 may be circular and hollow. At least a part of the second member 150 may be housed inside the cavity. Therefore, at least a part of the second member 150 may be slidable inside the cavity of the first annular member 140. Specifically, the first annulus member 140 may, for example, house at least a part of the second annulus member 151 of the second member 150 inside the cavity. Further, at least a part of the weight member 152 of the second member 150 may protrude from the inside of the cavity through, for example, the notch 142 of the first annular member 140. Further, the first annular member 140 may be fixed to, for example, one end of the connecting portion 120. That is, in one embodiment, the second member 150 can rotate and move with respect to the support portion 110, the connection portion 120, and the first annular member 140.

The connecting portion 120 may be rotatable around the support portion 110 with the support portion 110 as a rotation axis. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the connecting portion 120 may have an annular portion 121, which is an annular portion, at the other end (right end). The support portion 110 may support the annular portion 121 so that the connection portion 120 can rotate and move in the peripheral direction, for example, with its own rotation axis.

Hereinafter, the basic operation of the flying object device 10 will be described in more detail. The portion of the flying object device 10 composed of the connecting portion 120 and the first annular member 140 will be described as the “main body 11”.

In the first state, when the drone DN is activated, the main body 11 is lifted around the annular portion 121 (support portion 110) by the lift (lifting propulsive force) of the drone DN (step S1). That is, in one embodiment, when the drone DN is activated, the main body 11 can rotate and move around the annular portion 121 (support portion 110) by the lift of the drone DN. That is, the connection portion 120 can be pulled up by the drone DN and rotationally moved around the annular portion 121 (support portion 110), for example. Further, since the first annular member 140 is fixed to the connecting portion 120, for example, it can rotate and move together with the connecting portion 120. Here, in the first state, the direction in which the first opening 141 of the first annulus member 140 is directed is the direction from the center of the annulus of the first annulus member 140 toward the lower left (referred to as a vector V11). Is. However, as the first annular member 140 rotates and moves together with the connecting portion 120, the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed changes. Then, in the second state, the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed changes from the center of the annulus of the first annulus member 140 toward the upper left (referred to as a vector V12).

Further, in step S1, when the main body 11 is lifted by the lift of the drone DN, the second member 150 operates in response to the gravitational action of the weight member 152 (step S21). For example, since the second ring member 151 is housed inside the cavity of the first ring member 140, the second ring member 151 is the first in response to the rotational movement of the connection portion 120 toward the second state. It rotates and moves with respect to the support portion 110 together with the annulus member 140. Here, in one embodiment, the weight member 152 protrudes from the notch 142 of the first annulus member 140 and can slide along the annulus of the first annulus member 140. Further, a force is applied to the second annulus member 151 in the direction of gravity by the weight member 152. Therefore, in one embodiment, the orientation of the second annulus member 151 is fixed inside the cavity of the first annulus member 140. Specifically, in one embodiment, the orientation of the second annulus member 151 is constant with respect to the horizontal direction. That is, in one embodiment, the rotation angle of the second annular member 151 with respect to the annular center of the first annular member 140 does not change between the first state and the second state.

Therefore, by having the notch portion 142, for example, the first annulus member 140 can reduce the weakening of the gravitational action of the weight member 152 due to the rotational movement of the main body 11 with respect to the second annulus member 151. can.

Further, as described above, the orientation of the second annular member 151 is fixed inside the cavity, so that the direction of the second opening 153 of the second annular member 151 is maintained in the direction in the first state. Will be done. Here, in the first state, the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed is the direction from the center of the annulus of the second annulus member 151 toward the upper left (referred to as a vector V21). Further, since the direction of the second ring member 151 is fixed inside the cavity, the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed is maintained as the vector V21 even if the second state is reached.

From the above, in one embodiment, when the main body 11 is rotationally moved by the lift of the drone DN, the direction in which the first opening 141 of the first annular member 140 is directed changes according to the rotational movement. On the other hand, regardless of the rotational movement, the direction in which the second opening 153 of the second ring member 151 is directed is maintained as in the first state. Therefore, as the main body 11 rotates and moves, the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed and the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed overlap with each other. That is, when the main body 11 rotates and moves, the first opening 141 and the second opening 153 overlap each other.

As described above, the state of the main body 11 at the time when the first opening 141 and the second opening 153 overlap each other corresponds to the second state. That is, in this case, a part of the mounting portion 130 is opened. Therefore, in one embodiment, the drone DN can be detached when the flying object device 10 is deformed to the second state (step S3). Therefore, the drone DN can be separated from the open portion of the mounting portion 130 and started from the main body 11.

For example, in the first state, the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed and the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed do not overlap at all, so that the second annular member 151 has the first annular member 140. The first opening 141 is closed. Therefore, the annulus of the mounting portion 130 is not open. On the other hand, in the second state, the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed and the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed overlap, so that the annulus of the mounting portion 130 is opened. That is, according to the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment, the flying object is opened to the mounting portion 130 by the lift of the flying object by utilizing the overlap of the first opening 141 and the second opening 153. Can give rise to parts. Therefore, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can separate the flying object from the flying object device 10 by the force of the flying object alone.

In a situation where the direction in which the first opening 141 is directed and the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed overlap, the vector V12 and the vector V21 show similar directions. In other words, in the second state, it is not necessary that all of the first opening 141 and all of the second opening 153 overlap. For example, if the drone DN can start from the open portion of the mounting portion 130, even if at least a part of the first opening 141 and at least a part of the second opening 153 overlap in the second state. good. That is, the opening width of the mounting portion 130 in the second state may be arbitrarily adjusted according to the type of the drone DN to be parked. That is, the opening width of the first opening 141 or the second opening 153 is not particularly limited.

[3. Details of the configuration and operation of the aircraft device (modification example)]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the flying object device 10 according to the modified example. The flying object device 10 according to the modified example can further add an external action to the second member 150. According to this, the flying object device 10 according to the modified example can make it easier to fix the orientation of the second annulus member 151 inside the cavity. That is, the flying object device 10 according to the modified example can easily maintain the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed as the vector V21. In the following description, the description of the contents common to the flying object device 10 according to the modified example and the flying object device 10 described in the above embodiment will be omitted. That is, with respect to configurations other than those described below, the flying object device 10 according to the modified example may have the same configuration as the flying object device 10 described in the above embodiment.

The flying object device 10 according to the modified example may have a tension member ST. The tension member ST can exert an external action on the second member 150. The tension member ST may be connected to, for example, the second member 150. Specifically, one end of the tension member ST may be connected to the weight member 152. Further, the other end of the tension member ST may be connected to the building BD (for example, the wall surface of the building BD). At this time, both the tension member ST and the support portion 110 may be fixed to the same wall surface in the building BD, but the positions to be fixed on the wall surface may be different. The tension member ST may be composed of, for example, a member whose total length does not change. For example, the tension member ST may be a metal chain. Further, the tension member ST may be composed of a member whose overall length changes. For example, the tension member ST may be made of a string-shaped elastic material. That is, the member constituting the tension member ST is not particularly limited as long as it can give an external action to the second member 150.

The basic operation of the flying object device 10 according to the modified example will be described. First, as in step S1 of FIG. 2, when the drone DN is activated in the first state, the main body 11 is lifted by the lift of the drone DN. Then, the main body 11 rotates and moves around the annular portion 121 (support portion 110), and the flying object device 10 is deformed to the second state (step S22).

Here, in step S22, in addition to the gravitational action of the weight member 152, a reaction force due to one end of the tension member ST being connected to the building BD is applied to the second member 150. That is, when the flying object device 10 according to the modified example is deformed from the first state to the second state, the second annulus inside the cavity is caused by gravity and stress due to the tension member ST with respect to the second member 150. The orientation of the member 151 can be maintained. Therefore, the flying object device 10 according to the modified example can easily maintain the direction in which the second opening 153 is directed as the vector V21.

[4. Parts classification]
In the following, the flying object device according to the embodiment is classified into specific parts, and the details of the structure of each classified part will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory unit for explaining the parts classification of the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment.

The flying object device 10 according to one embodiment may be composed of a support portion 110, a connection portion 120, a first annular member 140, and a second member 150. That is, the flying object device 10 may be classified into three parts, for example, a main body 11 (connection portion 120 + first annular member 140), a second member 150, and a support portion 110. In the following, the details of the structure will be described for each part.

[5. About the structure of the main body]
First, the structure of the main body 11 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view from each direction when the main body 11 of the flying object device 10 is viewed from a plurality of different directions. Specifically, FIG. 5A shows a plan view of the main body 11 when the main body 11 is viewed from above with the first annular member 140 facing toward the front. Further, FIG. 5B shows a front view when the main body 11 is viewed from the front, a right side view when the main body 11 is viewed from the right side, and a main body with the first annular member 140 facing toward the front. A rear view of 11 as viewed from behind is shown. Further, FIG. 5C shows a bottom view of the main body 11 when the main body 11 is viewed from below with the first annular member 140 facing toward the front.

First, the plan view of FIG. 5A will be described. In one embodiment, of the main body 11, the first annular member 140 has a first opening 141. Therefore, when the main body 11 is viewed from above, one of the two cavity inlet CDs corresponding to the first opening 141 can be seen, as shown in FIG. 5A.

Next, the front view of FIG. 5B will be described. In one embodiment, the first annular member 140 may have a first opening 141. Therefore, when the main body 11 is viewed from the front, both of the two cavity inlet CDs corresponding to the first opening 141 may be visible, as shown in FIG. 5 (b).

Next, the right side view of FIG. 5B will be described. In one embodiment, the first annular member 140 has a first opening 141. The first opening 141 may be opened at any angle. The first opening 141 may be opened, for example, at angles of 1/4, 3/4, 2/5, and 3/5 with respect to the circumference. The opening angle of the first opening 141 is not limited to these. That is, the first opening 141 having an arbitrary opening angle may be used depending on the flying object parked in the flying object device 10.

Further, as illustrated in the right side view, in one embodiment, the connection portion 120 has an annular shape at the other end so that the connection portion 120 can rotate and move in the peripheral direction of the support portion 110. The annular portion may be the annular portion 121.

Next, the rear view of FIG. 5B will be described. The portion surrounded by the innermost dotted line and the intermediate solid line in the rear view corresponds to the annular portion 121 in one embodiment. The outermost dotted line in the rear view shows the outer shell of the first annular member 140 in one embodiment.

Here, the innermost dotted line in the rear view corresponds to the inner peripheral surface 121M which is a surface constituting the inner circumference of the annular portion 121, and shows a rectangular shape when the main body 11 is viewed from behind. .. According to this, since the inside of the annular portion 121 is in contact with the support portion 110 on the surface, the resistance when the connecting portion 120 rotates becomes relatively large. Specifically, for example, the inner peripheral surface 121M has a curved shape, and the surface area inside the annular portion 121 in contact with the support portion 110 is larger than that in the case where the inner peripheral surface 121M is in contact with the support portion 110 at a point. The resistance when the connection portion 120 rotates becomes relatively large. As a result, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can improve the stability of the rotational operation. For example, when a flying object whose weight or output is considered to be larger than the standard is parked, the rear view of FIG. 5B is shown for the purpose of improving the operational stability of the flying object device 10 by the weight or output. The inner peripheral surface 121M having the above shape may be adopted.

The shape of the inner peripheral surface 121M when the main body 11 is viewed from behind does not necessarily have to be rectangular. The shape of the inner peripheral surface 121M may be, for example, a shape in which the upper and lower surfaces corresponding to the rectangle are curved inward. That is, a part of the inner peripheral surface 121M may be formed of a curved surface. FIG. 5B shows an example of this as a variation of the rear view. In this way, when the surface in contact with the support portion 110 is curved inward, the inside of the annular portion 121 is in contact with the support portion 110 at a point, so that the resistance when the connection portion 120 rotates becomes relatively small. .. Specifically, since the surface area where the inside of the annular portion 121 is in contact with the support portion 110 is smaller, the connection portion 120 rotates as compared with the above example in which the inside of the annular portion 121 is in contact with the support portion 110 in a plane. The resistance when doing is relatively small. As a result, the flying object device 10 according to the embodiment can rotate relatively easily. For example, when a flying object whose weight or output is considered to be smaller than the standard is parked, an inner peripheral surface 121M having a shape like the variation may be adopted in order to compensate for the lack of rotational force.

Next, the bottom view of FIG. 5C will be described. In one embodiment, the first annular member 140 has a notch 142.
