Abstract

PURPOSE:To stop and move a floating article in space by using attraction force between different poles and repulsive force between the same poles of a suitable number of magnets disposed on a floating article and a suitable number of magnets disposed on a fixed board. CONSTITUTION:A suitable number of permanent magnets M1-M5 are arranged on a nonmetallic floating article 1, with the upper and lower surfaces of the same polarity, and the same number of electromagnets E1-E5 are arranged corresponding to the magnets M1-M5 on a nonmetallic fixed board 2 disposed below the article 1. When an electric current is applied to the central electromagnet E3 to be opposite in polarity to the lower surface of the magnet M, and an electric current is applied to the peripheral electromagnets to be same in polarity as the peripheral permanent magnets, the article 1 is floated and stopped in space at a position where the attraction force S among the dead load of the article 1, the magnet M3 and the electromagnet E and repulsive force R produced between the peripheral permanent magnets and the peripheral electromagnets are balanced. In case of moving the article 1, an electric current applied to all the electromagnets or some of electromagnets is adjusted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention consists of an appropriate number of magnets placed on a non-metallic item that is desired to be levitated in the air, and a non-metallic fixed plate placed below the item at appropriate intervals. An article that uses the attractive force between different poles and the repulsive force between the same poles with an appropriate number of magnets to levitate the article in the air and keep it stationary, or move it horizontally or vertically in the air. Regarding the floating movement device, if applied to showcases, the display position can be easily changed in the air without having to transfer the stacked display products within the case, and if applied to ride-on toys, etc. To provide a new and useful device for floating and moving objects, which allows objects to be operated and played with fun.

To explain the principle of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1, a permanent magnet (M
(M2)... are arranged in an appropriate number with the same polarity on the upper and lower surfaces, and on the other hand, fixed gold H (made of the same material as above) is fixed W ( 2), an appropriate number of permanent magnets (fVffi) (M2)
An electromagnet (E+) (E2) (E3) (E4) (
E5) are placed in the same number. Then, the central electromagnet (E3
) is energized so that the polarity is opposite to the bottom surface of the permanent magnet (M3), and the surrounding electromagnets (El) (, E2) (E4
)(E5) has a permanent magnet (M+ >(M2)(M
a ) (Ms ), then the gravity of the floating article (1) and the attractive force (S) between the permanent magnet (MS) and the electromagnet (F3) and the permanent magnet ( The floating article (1) levitates at a position where the repulsive force (R) generated between M+ ) (M2 ) (M4 ) (MS ) and the electromagnet (F+ ) (F2 ) (F41 (Es ) is balanced. When moving the floating object (1) that is stationary in the air, the total electromagnet (E+ > (
F2 >...(F5) or adjust the strength of the current to some arbitrary electromagnets.

Next, we will discuss the case where this principle is applied to a showcase in the second section.
This will be explained with reference to FIGS.

The floating article (1) is configured such that the plate structure is shaped like a tray;
As explained in the principle, permanent magnet (M+ > (M2
> (MS) (M4) (MS > is arranged.

On the other hand, the stationary plate (2) is formed into a shape that fits the showcase (3) (the illustrated example is a rectangle), and is constructed by arranging a plurality of magnets in the width direction and in multiple rows in parallel in the width direction. However, these magnets are permanent magnets (M' +
)(M' 2 )...(M'+2>), and the center B row is an electromagnet (E' + )(E' 2
) ... (E'IO), and the fixed plate (2) is placed at the bottom of the showcase (3) with all the electromagnets (E+ >
Arrange so that (F2)·=(EIO) is on the upper side. After configuring and arranging the floating article (1) and the fixed plate (2) in this way, the permanent magnets (M') of the A row of the fixed plate are
+ )(M'2")...(M'+2) and the electromagnets of the B row (E'+)(E'2)...(E' 1
e) and the permanent magnet (M'+
>(M2) (MS) The above electromagnet (E' + ) (E' 2 ) - (E'
Io), the floating article (-1) will receive a buoyant force due to the repulsive force between the permanent magnet and the electromagnet. In order to control such buoyancy and move the floating article (1) in the horizontal direction, a B row of electromagnets (E' + ) facing the permanent magnet (MS) placed at the center of the floating article is installed.
(E' 2 ) - (E' 1G > is energized so that the polarity is reversed, and the energization operation to the electromagnet is performed as (E' +
) (E' z )... (E'IO>, also (E'
19) (E's)...(E'+), the floating article (1) moves horizontally within the showcase (3) while floating, as shown in the third figure.

Therefore, the floating article (1) is formed into a shallow tray shape, clothing,
If you place lightweight food or other lightweight products on the display, you can change the display position without having to hold the product in your hands. And fixed plate (2)
Products that can be passed through the magnet can be lined up on top.

In this example, when horizontally moving the floating article (1), although not shown, an electromagnet (E' + )<E' 2 )
...The timing mechanism is composed of the same number of mass cross switch groups and rotary cam groups as (E'+n), a micromotor for the rotary cam with a speed reduction mechanism, etc., and this mechanism is connected to an electromagnet (E' + ) (E '2)...It is convenient to electrically connect to (E'+o) and automatically adjust the timing.

The rotating cam group of the timing mechanism has recesses formed at two target positions on the periphery and is rotated by a micromotor, and the microswitch group is opened and closed by a rotating rod rotated by the periphery of the rotating cam and the recess, and is rotated by a micromotor. is 1R,P
, M, and the floating article (1
) is configured so that it makes a round trip.

When the floating article (1) is vertically moved in a floating state, the electromagnet (E' + ) (E' 2
)...Change the voltage of (E'IO).

It is easy to roughly apply the described principles and application examples to vehicle play equipment, and it is possible to have fun playing the vehicle without having to operate it.

The present invention levitates a floating article by using the attractive force between different poles and the repulsive force between the same poles between an appropriate number of magnets arranged on the floating article and an appropriate number of magnets arranged on a fixed plate. Since it is possible to stand still and move in the air, if it is applied to a showcase, etc., the display position of displayed products can be easily changed, and if it is applied to a vehicle play equipment, it is possible to have fun while operating the vehicle.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.
