Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to flying vehicle devices.

Conventionally, there are many types of large-scale amusement equipment installed in amusement parks, such as a Ferris wheel, a somersault rocket, a flying tower, an octopus, an astroget, a toraband, and a rotor. However, all of these require a driving source such as electricity or hydraulics, and although their mechanisms are complex and expensive, they have the disadvantage that you get tired of riding them once, and they are completely unable to solve the lack of exercise of modern people. It was useless, and I couldn't meet the desire to have fun while exercising my body properly.

This invention was made in view of this point,
The object of the present invention is to provide a flying vehicle device that can be fully enjoyed while training the body, has a simple and inexpensive mechanism, and does not require a driving source such as electricity. The feature is that a flight vehicle with levitation blades such as a rotor or propeller is attached to the tip of a swing arm that swings up and down by a hydraulic cylinder, and the levitation is carried out by the human power of the passengers riding the flight vehicle. A pseudo drive mechanism is provided to operate the blades, and the passenger's manual power drives a hydraulic pump to rotate, sending the generated hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic cylinder to swing the swinging arm upward, thereby causing the flight vehicle to move. The point is that it is configured with a genuine driving mechanism for levitation.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a rotary table, which is supported on a floor 3 so as to be rotatable around an axis 2. Eight swing arms 4 are arranged radially. That is, it is pivoted by a horizontal support shaft 7 to a support leg 6 erected at a position close to the outer periphery of the top surface 5 of the rotary table 1, and is able to swing vertically. is oscillated by a vertically arranged hydraulic cylinder 8 as shown by solid lines and imaginary lines in FIG. Reference numeral 9 denotes a cylinder mounting member for mounting the cylinder 8 in a vertically suspended manner, and is erected on the upper surface 5 in the vicinity of the axis 2. The reference numeral 10 denotes a flying vehicle having a rotating blade such as a rotor or a propeller, or a floating blade 11 such as a flapping blade (not shown), and the figure exemplifies a helicopter 12 with a rotor. The flying vehicle 10 is mounted on a mounting member 13 having an L-shape or the like. This mounting member 13 is attached to the tip of the swinging arm 4 via a parallel link mechanism 14 in order to stably place the flight vehicle 10 by vertically moving in parallel. teeth,
Parallel arm 15 that always remains parallel to swing arm 4
are pivotally connected to the support leg 6 and the member 13 at shafts 16 and 17. A balance weight 18 serves to reduce the unbalance moment of the total weight of the swing arm 4 and the flight vehicle 10 around the support shaft 7, thereby reducing the necessary pushing force of the cylinder 8.

Although a helicopter 12 is illustrated as the flight vehicle 10 in FIG. 3, it is of a type in which two passengers board, and the transparent windshield cover 1
9, and a rotor that rotates in a horizontal plane is installed on the ceiling as a levitation blade 11, and this levitation blade 11 has a chain 20, a chain wheel 21, etc., so that it can be rotated by the human power of passengers riding on the flight vehicle 10. A mechanical pseudo drive mechanism 22 is attached. Here, the term "pseudo" means that even if the levitation blades 11 are operated by the mechanism 22, no or almost no buoyancy force is generated, and the flight vehicle 10 is actually lifted upward by another mechanism described later. It is.

That is, in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, 23
is a real drive mechanism for actually lifting the flight vehicle 10 into the air, which rotates the hydraulic pump 24 by the passenger's manual power and sends the generated hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic cylinder 8 to move the arm 4 upward. It is configured to swing and cause the flying vehicle 10 to levitate. Reference numeral 25 denotes a seat, and pedals 26, 26 such as those commonly used for bicycles are provided at the lower front position of the seat 25, and a chain wheel 28 is fixed to a spindle 27 that is rotated by the pedals 26, 26. A chain 29 and another chain wheel 30 are interlocked to rotate a shaft 31 located below and behind the passenger. In a specific example, one chain wheel 21 is fixed to this shaft 31, and the driving force is branched to a pseudo drive mechanism 22 and transmitted thereto. Further, 32, 32 are gears that mesh with each other, and speed up the rotation of the shaft 31 to rotationally drive the pump 24.

As shown in the hydraulic circuit of FIG. 5 and FIG. high pressure pipe 37
The pump 24 and the cylinder 8 are connected by a high pressure pipe 37 so that hydraulic pressure is sent to the cylinder 8 through the high pressure pipe 37. In addition, two slow return valves 3
A reflux pipe 38 branched from between 5 and 36 is communicated with the tank 33 via a parallel solenoid valve 39 and a slow return valve 40, and the solenoid valve 39 is a two-position open/close valve. In the state shown, the liquid from the pump 24 is returned to the tank 33 and is not sent to the cylinder 8. When this valve 39 is turned off, the flow freely passes through the check valve portions of the valves 35 and 36, extends the cylinder 39, and swings the swinging arm 4, causing the flight The vehicle 10 is levitated.

By the way, some liquid escapes from the throttle valve part of the valve 40 into the tank 33, so unless the pedal 26 is rotated at a predetermined speed or higher, the cylinder 8 will gradually contract and the vehicle 10 will descend. . Then, if you press the pedal 26 at high speed, the vehicle 1 will move faster.
0 floats, as if it were a levitation blade 1
1, the vehicle 10 is floating, and the faster the blades 11 move, the faster it floats, and the slower the blades 11 move, the more it gradually descends. The hydraulic circuit is also configured to give the illusion that ascent and descent is being performed by the levitation blades of the pseudo drive mechanism 22, regardless of whether ascent or descent is being performed.

Note that the weight 18 may be increased to make the swing arm 4
When the unbalance around the support shaft 7 of the vehicle 10 and the mounting member 13 is small, the slow return valve 35 can be omitted. However, if the imbalance is large, the pedal 26 may rotate backwards, which is dangerous, so the valve 35 is necessary, but a check valve may also be used. In addition, although the electrical system diagram has been omitted, passengers first board the flight vehicle 10 at the location shown in Figure 1.
When the user gets on the vehicle and closes the solenoid valve 39, the vehicle 10 floats up at a speed proportional to the rotational speed of the pedal 26. When it reaches the position shown in the figure, the uppermost position sensing limit switch operates, the solenoid valve 39 opens, and the liquid flows out from the cylinder 8 while being squeezed by the throttle part of the valve 36, contracting, and the vehicle 10 gradually descend,
When the robot descends to this position, the lower limit sensing limit switch is activated to close the valve 39, allowing it to float.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, 8 flying vehicles 10
. . . individually repeats rising and falling, and the rotary table 1 is separately rotated by power. At the end of the operation, the rotation of the turntable 1 is stopped, the solenoid valve 39 is opened, and all the vehicles 10 are gently lowered to a position where the passengers can get off.

Of course, the present invention can be freely modified in design other than the above-mentioned embodiment, and the levitation blade 11 can be positioned as shown in the imaginary line in FIG. As 10,
It can be a normal propeller airplane with fixed main wings that generate lift when moving forward, or it can be shaped like a monster or a bird and has wings that flap up and down as levitation vanes. The number of flight vehicles 10 attached to the rotating platform 1 may be one, two or more, and the number may be arbitrary. The vehicle 10 can be used for one person or for more than one person. Also, in the hydraulic circuit, the pump 24
It is also possible to take advantage of the poor volumetric efficiency of the vehicle 10 during low-speed rotation so that if the pedal 26 is not depressed quickly, the vehicle 10 will fall under its own weight due to internal leakage.

As described in detail above, the present invention allows the flying vehicle 10 to rise and fall using human power, so it can solve the lack of exercise of modern people while having fun and meet the recent desire to train the body. It is simple, durable, and safe with few breakdowns. In addition, since no driving source is required, it can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, a pseudo drive mechanism 22 and a real drive mechanism 23 are provided, both of which are operated by human power in proportion to their speed, and the levitation blade 11 operated by the pseudo drive mechanism 22 is very conspicuous, so it looks as if it were This levitation blade 11 alone creates the illusion that the flying vehicle 10 on which the user is riding is floating in the air, and is a device that allows the user to enjoy a new pleasure that has not been experienced before.
