DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a recreational tank (hereinafter abbreviated as tank) 1 in which the present invention is practiced.

Here, the tank 1 has a barrel 2, so that there is a slight risk of collision when it is used for amusement.

Therefore, the barrel 2 is provided with a forward and a stop system for preventing the barrel 2 from colliding with the forward traveling tank. In addition, the forward position sensor 3 is provided on the side of the tank 1 do.

More specifically, when the tank A is traveling along the recreational tank road D in FIG. 2, when the barrel reaches the tank B, the forward position sensor 3 senses it. The tank A is automatically stopped by automatically activating the forward system according to the present invention, and when the tank A is further away from the danger (collision) distance, the tank A is switched back to the forward state.

In addition, when the tank 1 is approaching the danger prevention wall Da of the pleasure tank road D due to insufficient driving of the driver during the progress of the tank 1, it is sensed by the lateral detection sensors 4 and 4 ' do. The danger prevention wall Da is dangerous to the people around the tank when the tank 1 moves away from the tank road D so that the danger prevention wall Da is installed along both sides so that the barrel 2 can be raised to a height It is preferable for safety.

Therefore, when the tank C is detached from the direction of the hazard prevention wall Da as shown in the phantom diagram in FIG. 2, it is detected by the lateral detection sensor 4 (4 '), And is automatically rotated in the direction as indicated by the solid line.

When the tank A is in the normal traveling state of the tank road D after being rotated in the direction as described above, the direction can be operated by the direction handle (hereinafter referred to as the handle).

3 is a schematic system diagram showing a forward and a direction rotating system of the tank according to the present invention in which the power of the engine 5 mounted on the tank 1 is transmitted to the relay 6 by the idle pulley 6 and the belt 6 ' And the power of the electromagnetic clutch 8 is transmitted to the transmission 9 to rotate the drive sprockets 11 and 11 'that drive the orbit 10.

The drive sprockets 11 and 11 'on both sides of the transmission 9 are configured to be transmitted and cut by the sprocket control levers 12 and 12', respectively.

More specifically, when the sprocket control lever 12 is operated from the predetermined position to the control position, the rotation of the drive sprocket 11 is stopped. On the contrary, when the sprocket control lever 12 ' 'Is operated and stopped.

For example, when the left drive sprocket 11 is rotated and the right drive sprocket 11 'is controlled to be in a stopped state, the tank 1 is turned in the right direction and vice versa, .

The sprocket control lever 12 ', which is required for such a direction change, receives a resilient force of the lever springs 13 and 13' within the transmission 9 to always assume a fixed position.

The direction switching handle 21 of the handle device 20 is provided to arbitrarily operate the sprocket control levers 11 and 11 'as a manual operation.

The handle device 20 is shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, and the handle 21 of the handle device 20 is formed in a T shape which is easy to grasp by hand.

A lever piece 23 is fixed to the lower end of the handle shaft 22 of the handle 21 so as to be rotatable in the left and right directions. The lever piece 23 is provided with a pull rod 24 ' Respectively.

When the lever piece 23 is rotated leftward or rightward by the rotation of the handle 21, one pulling rod 24 connected to both ends thereof is pulled while the other pulling rod 24 ' It is pushed out. Accordingly, the pulling rod 24 pulled can rotate the clutch 30 connected to the wire 26 at one end by rotating the right-hand axial tube 25.

On the contrary, when the handle 21 is rotated to the left, the pulling rod 24 'is pulled to pull the wire 26' as the left axial tube 25 'is rotated, whereby the wire 26' So that the connected mechanism clutch 30 'is rotated.

The mechanism clutches 30 and 30 'according to the present invention are configured to rotate the X-shaped clutch rods 31 and 31' around the central axis 32 and to be supported by the clutch rod 31 at one side And the other cylinder rod 31 'is pulled by the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33'.

In addition, the clutch rods 31 and 31 'are in a state in which the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33' are in the uncontrolled state and free as shown in FIG. 7 (a).

When the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33 'are operated, the piston rod 33a is moved backward and the clutch rod 31' connected to the piston rod 33a is pulled so that the clutch rod 31 'Are combined as shown in FIG. 7 (b).

One end of the clutch rod 31 is connected to the wire 26 of the handle device 20 and the other end of the clutch rod 31 is connected to the sprocket control lever 12 ' (34 ').

The vacuum cylinders 33 and 33 'are connected to the valves 40 and 40' and the valves 40 and 40 'are connected to the vacuum pump 41 provided in the engine 5.

The electromagnetic valves 40 and 40 'are three-way valves, and the direction control cylinders 35 and 35' that actuate the sprocket control levers 12 and 12 'by operating the electromagnetic valves 40 and 40' Is operated.

Further, the electronic switches 40 and 40 'are operated by signals of the lateral direction sensors 4 and 4'.

Referring to FIG. 7, the direction change at the time of normal running of the tank 1 will be described as follows.

That is, at this time, the side sensing sensors 4 and 4 'are in a non-sensing state in which there is no obstacle, and in this state, the direction of the tank is changed by the operation of the handle 21. [

More specifically, in the non-sensing state of the lateral sensing sensors 4 and 4 ', the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33' are activated by the operation of the electromagnetic valves 40 and 40 ' The clutch rods 31 and 31 'of the clutch 30' are brought into a state in which they are combined as shown in FIG. 7 (b).

Therefore, as the wire 26 (26 ') is pulled in accordance with the operation of the handle 21, the entirety of the mechanism clutches 30 and 30' including the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33 ' So that the wires 34 and 34 'are pulled.

Accordingly, when the sprocket control levers 12 and 12 'are operated to rotate the handle to the right, only the left drive sprocket 11 is rotated while the right drive sprocket 11' is stopped, so that the tank 1 is moved to the right Direction.

When the handle 21 is rotated to the left, the tank 1 is operated in the opposite direction to the left so that the tank 1 is turned to the left.

Next, a state in which the direction of the tank 1 is automatically rotated will be described.

In this state, a sensor in the direction of the sensor detects the obstacle of one of the lateral sensors 4 and 4 'so that the sensor automatically switches its direction. .

For example, when there is an obstacle on the left side and a directional rotation to the right side is required, the electromagnetic side 40 is operated by the signal of the left lateral direction sensor 4, in which case the direction control cylinder 35 ' The vacuum cylinder 33 is released.

As a result, the sprocket control lever 12 'is operated so that the right drive sprocket 11' is stopped and the left drive sprocket 11 is driven, so that the tank 1 is rotated in the right direction.

Conversely, when the tank 1 is rotated in the leftward direction, it is opposite to the above-described rotation in the rightward direction, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the above-described automatic directional rotation, since the mechanism clutch 30 is released from the vacuum cylinders 33 and 33 ', the clutch rods 31 and 31' are separated from each other as shown in FIG. 7 (a) 21 are interrupted as required by the mechanism clutches 30, 30 'so as not to obstruct the automatic direction switching.

Next, the forward / stop operation of the tank 1 will be described.

The advancement of the tank 1 is advanced by an accelerator (not shown) and stopped by a brake (not shown), but is automatically stopped and advanced by the correct position sensor 3 in a collision situation.

That is, when the forward position sensing sensor 3 senses an obstacle in the front portion, it sends a signal to the relay 50 to operate the brake cylinder 52 by operating the electromagnetic valve 51 to operate the brake control lever 53 It will automatically break.

In this case, when the vehicle is in a stable state, everything returns to a normal state and the vehicle is allowed to move forward, thereby preventing the risk of a collision.

According to the above description, it is possible to provide a recreational tank which can be stably ridden and enjoyed by the system of the present invention.

The present invention can be applied not only to a tank but also to a recreational riding machine and the like on which an engine is mounted. Therefore, it is obvious that the present invention should be widely applied and protected as far as it does not deviate greatly from the claims.
