[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION For advanced shooting training,
A target device that moves closer to the movement of the shooting target such as a criminal is preferable. However, in the above-mentioned conventional target device, since the target reciprocates along the existing track, its movement is relatively simple, and the trainee repeatedly adapts to the movement of the target, and repeatedly adapts to the movement of the target. There was a problem that the effect of the training could not be obtained sufficiently.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a target device suitable for advanced shooting training.

[0005]

A first shooting training target device according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, comprises:
An upright and fallable target, and a bogie that carries the target and selectively travels in two directions, a lateral direction including the target surface and a vertical direction perpendicular to the direction, while maintaining the target surface in the same direction. , Are provided.

In a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a target apparatus for shooting training according to the third aspect, wherein the wheel direction changing means includes a plurality of wheels on the same circumference. It is characterized in that it is turned so as to stop at a position facing the tangential direction.

A fifth shooting training target apparatus according to the present invention is the shooting training target apparatus according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, further comprising remote control means separate from the cart, and Receiving means for receiving a signal transmitted by wire or wireless from the remote control means, and control means for controlling running, turning, standing up and down of the target based on the received signal. .

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the first target apparatus for shooting training, the bogie does not travel on a fixed track, but rather keeps the orientation of the target when standing upright. It can run freely in the axial direction. That is, the target device usually moves freely in a predetermined surface area by selectively and alternately running in the horizontal or vertical direction while the target is lying down, and during the movement or temporarily. The target rises when you stop moving.

In the second shooting training target apparatus, when the running direction is changed in two axial directions, the wheel direction changing means turns only the wheels attached to the bottom surface of the bogie in the running direction. The wheel direction changing means is preferably configured to drive all the wheels in the same direction, but at least one wheel driven by the traveling driving means and located on both sides of the bogie with respect to the traveling direction. A configuration may be adopted in which the wheels are driven to turn in the same direction, and the other wheels are turnable wheels that follow the traveling direction as the vehicle travels. With such a configuration, even if the traveling direction changes, the bogie main body does not turn, and the direction of the target mounted on the bogie is always maintained in the same direction. For this reason, if the position of the bogie is determined so that the target surface faces the shooter first, the target surface of the upright target moves in the same direction (that is, the shooter side) even if the bogie moves to any position. It is suitable. The shooter fires at the target standing in such a state.

In the first and second shooting training target devices according to the present invention, not only the movement of moving in the lateral direction in front of the shooter but also the movement of approaching or moving away from the shooter can be performed. For this reason, the movement of the target can be made more complicated as compared with a conventional device of this type, and advanced shooting training can be performed. In addition, since it is not necessary to install rails, wires, and the like at the shooting training site, training equipment does not become large-scale, and the cost of the equipment can be reduced.

Further, in the third shooting training target apparatus, at least one wheel on each side in the running direction is the main driving wheel, regardless of whether the wheels are oriented in the vertical or horizontal direction. Therefore, the vehicle can travel straight ahead without turning left or right during both forward and backward traveling.

The above-mentioned cart travels in principle in the vertical and horizontal directions and the target surface always faces in the same direction. However, for example, if the cart comes in contact with an obstacle or the like during traveling, the direction of the cart itself may change. is there. In such a case, in the fourth target apparatus for shooting training, the wheel direction changing unit turns each wheel to a position substantially on the circumference, and in that state, the traveling driving unit rotationally drives the driving wheels. Then, since the bogie rotates around the center point of the circle, the bogie posture can be corrected to an arbitrary position (direction) on the rotation circumference.

In the fifth shooting training target apparatus, when an appropriate operation is performed by the remote control means, the receiving means mounted on the bogie receives a signal transmitted from the remote control means, and controls the control means. Controls the traveling drive means and the wheel direction changing means based on the received signal. This allows the truck to travel and the target to stand up and down freely from a safe place away from the truck (for example, a place where there is no danger of fired bullets flying out). Therefore, since a flexible moving operation according to the response of the shooter or the like can be performed instead of a predetermined moving operation programmed in advance, a very advanced shooting training can be executed.

Next, each part of the mobile target vehicle 1 will be described in detail. First, the traveling drive unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 6. At the bottom of the box-shaped housing 12 made of metal, four wheels 201 to 204 (the right front wheel, the left front wheel, the right rear wheel, and the left rear wheel are denoted by 201, 202, and 2 respectively).
03 and 204. However, the left rear wheel 204 is hidden behind the right rear wheel 203 in FIG. 3 and behind the left front wheel 202 in FIG. ) Are rotatably supported by an axle 21, and a wheel holder 22 having a U-shaped cross section to which the axle 21 is attached is rotatably supported by a direction changing shaft 23 extending vertically.

In the housing 12, a traveling motor 30, a front wheel direction changing motor 40 and a rear wheel direction changing motor 50 are provided.
However, they are arranged so that the respective motor shafts extend in the vertical direction. The rotational driving force of the traveling motor 30 is applied to the opposite corners via a pulley 31 fixed to the motor shaft and an endless first belt 32 wound around the pulley 31.
This is transmitted to the wheels (the front right wheel 201 and the rear left wheel 204). That is, as shown in FIG.
A gear 24 is fixed to the left rear wheel 204 (the same applies to the left rear wheel 204). The gear 24 meshes with a gear 26 at the lower end of a traveling rotation shaft 25 rotatably fitted inside a cylindrical turning shaft 23. doing. A pulley 27 is attached to the upper end of the traveling rotary shaft 25, and the pulley 27 and the traveling rotary shaft 25 can be connected and disconnected by the action of a traveling clutch 28.

Therefore, the pulley 27 and the traveling rotary shaft 25
Is connected, the traveling rotary shaft 25 rotates according to the traveling of the first belt 32, and the wheels 20 and
1, 204 are rotationally driven. The traveling motor 30
By reversing the rotation direction, the vehicle can freely move forward or backward. Further, even when the running motor 30 is rotating, the pulley 2 is
7 and the traveling rotary shaft 25 are disconnected,
1, 204 can be released. In addition,
An idle pulley 33 is provided on the traveling path of the first belt 32 to apply an appropriate tension to the belt 32 to prevent the pulleys 27 and 31 from idling.

On the other hand, the rotational driving force of the front wheel direction changing motor 40 is transmitted to the right front wheel 201 and the left front wheel 202 by the pulley 41, the second belt 42, and the pulley 44 fixed to the motor shaft. 23. Similarly, the rotational driving force of the rear wheel direction changing motor 50 is changed by the pulley 51, the third belt 52, and the pulley 54 fixed to the motor shaft to the direction change on the right rear wheel 203 and the left rear wheel 204 side. It is transmitted to the shaft 23. In addition, a plurality of idle pulleys 43 and 53 are provided at appropriate portions on the traveling paths of the second and third belts 42 and 52, similarly to the first belt 32.

When the traveling direction needs to be changed from the above-mentioned direction A to the above-mentioned direction B or vice versa during traveling of the mobile target vehicle 10, the connection between the pulley 27 and the traveling rotary shaft 25 is released by the traveling clutch 28. , Front wheel direction change motor 4
0 and the rear wheel direction changing motor 50 are driven. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 9, all of the four wheels 201 to 204 turn in either the direction A or the direction B. In order for the wheels 201 to 204 to turn accurately,
To correct the position of the moving target vehicle 1 in an oblique direction other than the direction A or the direction B due to an unintended disturbance, the right rear wheel 203 and the left front wheel 202 are corrected.
The direction change shaft 23 is provided with direction change position detecting sensor units 45 and 55, respectively.

A direction change position detecting sensor unit 45,
At 55, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, respectively.
A recess 231 is formed on the outer circumference of the direction changing shaft 23,
The first position detection sensors 551 and 451 and the second position detection sensors 552 and 452 are fixed at positions 90 ° apart from each other corresponding to the recess 231. Wheels 201-
8 (a) and 8 (b) when 204 is in the direction A.
As shown in FIG.
1 and 451, and when the direction change shaft 23 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8 and the concave portion 231 reaches the position of the second position detection sensors 552 and 452, the wheel 2
01 to 204 face the direction B. Therefore, the first and second position detection sensors 551, 451,
By controlling the driving of the front wheel and rear wheel direction changing motors 40 and 50 so as to obtain the detection signals by 552 and 452, the wheels 201 to 204 are moved in the direction A as shown in FIG.
Or, it can be surely turned to either B.

As described above, in the mobile target vehicle 1, the bogie 10 above the wheel holder 22 does not turn, but the direction of the bogie 10 itself changes during traveling due to disturbance such as contact with an obstacle. There can be. In such a case, there is a possibility that the target surface of the target plate 70 may not face the shooter. Then, the posture of the carriage 10 can be corrected as follows. That is, the concave portion 231 of the direction changing shaft 23
So that the direction change shaft 23 stops at the position where the detection signals of the third position detection sensors 553 and 453 are obtained, that is, when the direction change shaft 23 stops at the position of the third position detection sensors 553 and 453. The driving of the conversion motors 40 and 50 is controlled. Then, the four wheels 201 to 204 are shown in FIG.
Are arranged on the circumference of the same circle E as shown in FIG. In this state, when the vehicle travels either forward or backward, the moving target vehicle 1
The object itself rotates around the center point of the circle E. Thus, even if the moving target vehicle 1 is displaced in any direction within 360 °, it can be corrected to the original direction.

Next, the target undulation drive unit will be described with reference to FIGS. A target plate 70 having a substantially upper body of a person is mounted on two support rods 72 fixed to a target rotation shaft 71. In the housing 12, a target lodging motor 60 is disposed so as to extend the motor shaft horizontally and forward and backward. The rotational driving force of the motor 60 is controlled by a gear 61 fixed to the motor shaft and a gear 61 Transmitted to the intermediate shaft 63 via the gear 62 that
The power is transmitted to the target rotation shaft 71 via the pulley 65, the fourth belt 66, and the pulley 67. The target lodging clutch 64 is
It has an action of connecting and disconnecting the intermediate shaft 63 and the pulley 65.

The target rotating shaft 71 is provided with a locking rotating piece 80 for holding the target plate 70 lying down and a spring 74 whose one end is fixed to the housing 12 by a spring mounting 75. A connection piece 73 for applying a force to rotate the target rotation shaft 71 in a direction in which the target plate 70 stands by the contraction force is fixedly connected. As shown in FIG. 7, the locking rotation piece 80 is adapted to engage with a locking claw 83 that rotates about a shaft 82 by linear movement of a drive rod 811 by a target locking solenoid 81. , Solenoid 81
Is the state where the drive rod 811 is pulled (driving rightward in FIG. 7).
Then, the locking claw 83 retreats (that is, enters the unlocked state), and the target rotation shaft 71 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. At this time, when the connection between the intermediate shaft 63 and the pulley 65 is released by the clutch 64 as described above, the target rotation shaft 71 freely rotates without being restrained by the motor 60.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the support rod 72 (ie, the target plate 70) rises substantially vertically by the above rotation, the rotation stop plate 76 fixed substantially at the center of the target rotary shaft 71 in the width direction is provided. Abuts against a stopper 77 fixed to the housing 12 side, and further rotation is prohibited. As a result, the target plate 70 stops in a state of standing substantially vertically.

When the target plate 70 is lowered from such a standing state, the intermediate shaft 63 and the pulley 65 are connected by the clutch 64, and the target lowering motor 60 is driven in a predetermined rotation direction. As a result, the target rotation shaft 71 rotates in the direction opposite to the direction in which the expansion and contraction force of the spring 74 acts, and the target plate 70 falls backward. When the target plate 70 falls down to a substantially horizontal state and the locking turning piece 80 reaches the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.
Is detected by the lodging detection sensor 84 attached to the
Based on the detection, the solenoid 81 is driven to push out the drive rod 811. Then, the locking claw 83 rotates forward to lock the locking rotating piece 80. Thereby, the target plate 7
The rotation of the target rotation shaft 71 is fixed in a state where 0 is lying down.

In the above-mentioned target raising / lowering drive unit, the elongating force of the spring 74 is used when the target plate 70 stands up.
When the lock by the locking claw 83 is released, the target plate 70 stands up immediately. In addition, the urging force of the spring 74 can be adjusted by the spring mounting tool 75, so that the speed at which the target plate 70 stands can be changed.

Next, a control system of the target device will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the remote control device 2
0, a transmission-side control unit 91, a transmission unit 92, and the like. The moving target vehicle 1 includes a reception unit 93, a reception-side control unit 94, and the above-described motors 30, 40, 50, and 60, and a clutch 2
8, 64, a solenoid 81 and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 10, each drive unit is provided with the above-described direction change position detection sensor units 45 and 55 and other appropriate sensors, and the detection signals of these sensors are transmitted to the receiving side. It is input to the control unit 94. In the mobile target vehicle 1, the electric circuit 96 such as the receiving unit 93 and the receiving-side control unit 94 and the battery 97 are disposed at the rear of the housing 12 (see FIGS. 2 to 4).

The operation unit 90 of the remote control device 2 is provided with a plurality of switches for giving instructions relating to traveling such as forward traveling, backward traveling, traveling stop and traveling direction, and instructions for standing up and down of the target plate. Have been. The transmission-side control unit 91 includes a well-known microcomputer, and creates a control data sequence in a predetermined format according to the operation of the various switches. The transmitting unit 92 modulates this control data sequence and sends it out as radio waves in a predetermined frequency band.

The receiving section 93 of the mobile target vehicle 1 receives and demodulates the above-mentioned radio waves, extracts the original control data sequence, and inputs the same to the receiving-side control section 94. The receiving-side control unit 94 includes a well-known microcomputer, decodes the control data sequence, and controls the operations of the motors 30, 40, 50, 60, the clutches 28, 64, the solenoid 81, and the like accordingly. Thereby, the moving target vehicle 1 can perform the above-described traveling and the undulating operation of the target plate according to the instruction from the remote control device 2.

Instead of operating the mobile target vehicle 1 in response to the operation of the operator, a predetermined operation is programmed in advance in the transmission-side control section 91, and an operation instruction signal is transmitted in accordance with the execution of the program. The information may be transmitted from the unit 92 to the receiving unit 93. According to this, it is easy to cause the mobile target vehicle 1 to repeatedly perform a certain predetermined operation, which is convenient, for example, when performing a shooting test of the same content for a plurality of shooters.

The above embodiment is merely an example, and it is apparent that changes and modifications can be made within the spirit of the present invention.
