Description

Floating vehicle

The present invention relates to a floating type vehicle, and relates to a floating type vehicle that can move a two-wheeled vehicle or an automobile in an arbitrary direction in a floating state.

Automobiles and two-wheeled vehicles usually have tires, and are vehicles that are installed and move to arbitrary positions.
Therefore, as a premise, the tire is used while installed on the ground, and has a configuration that moves by rotation of the tire.
Particularly on rough roads, a vehicle structure and tires along the rough road are required, and a special separate structure is required.
That is, for example, a special vehicle for a rough road or a suspension structure or the like is required for a normal vehicle, or a vehicle specifically configured for a rough road is used.

However, even in this case, if the rough road is severe, the vehicle can no longer move.
In this case, for example, a special caterpillar vehicle is usually used, or an airplane or the like moving in the air is used instead of a vehicle.
That is, another method such as a separate movement method such as underground, air, or underwater is required.
Therefore, the conventional land moving vehicle and the air moving vehicle are basically distinct.
Or recently, floating vehicles have begun to exist.
For example, if it is in a floating state, there is no contact with these rough roads, and movement is possible.

A particularly big point is that resistance occurs between the road and the road due to tires, etc., and it is necessary to eliminate this resistance as much as possible in order to move more efficiently. Some vehicles float along this road. It exists.
For example, as a vehicle having a floating structure, there are vehicle structures described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2000-142379 and 2003-239849.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-242765 exists as a vehicle for moving in a floating state.
Alternatively, there is also a so-called hovercraft which is an air cushion beagle as a moving body that generally moves on water.

JP 2000-142379 A JP 2003-239849 A

As described above, when configured as a floating type in the vehicle structure, it is possible to perform a three-dimensional movement instead of a two-dimensional movement as described above, and it is possible to remarkably improve the movement range and situation. Become.
However, first, the configuration shown in Patent Document 1 is a configuration in which four propellers are rotated and blown to the ground by directly using the wind pressure to float and have a ball shaft.
Therefore, the self-weight is reduced by the propeller, and it is configured to float by balancing with the wind power of the propeller.

In this configuration, it is not really floating, but a floating feeling is obtained, and it is extremely fun as a play tool, but it cannot be a vehicle that can be used in a practical three-dimensional space.
Next, in the configuration shown in Patent Document 2, the arm to which the weight is attached is rotated to generate a centrifugal force, and the rotation is rotated in the vertical direction to increase the centrifugal force when rotating in the upward direction. The thrust generator which floats a vehicle by generating the force which moves to is disclosed.

However, the force in the information direction based on this centrifugal force is only a force that moves the weight and arm upward, and it is impossible to lift a heavy vehicle without an extremely large rotating body. In addition, since it rotates 360 degrees, there is currently a technique that eliminates the force acting in various other directions such as the downward direction and the front-rear direction, extracts only the upward centrifugal force, and floats upward. Absent.
Therefore, it is only a structure that is practically impossible.
With regard to hovercraft, it simply blows down a lot of exhaust gas and lifts the vehicle directly using the blown air, and it is used not only for its control but also on roads etc. unless a large amount of exhausted air is properly treated. It is difficult.
As described above, the floating type vehicle has extremely high practical value and can be used in three dimensions, and can solve problems such as resistance caused by contact between the tire and the road and tire wrinkles. In reality, it is not used.
For example, an automobile has a jet engine or propeller and can be used as an automobile by projecting blades from the car body, but there are other vehicles that can be used as an airplane if necessary, but there are also functions of an airplane in the first place. It only has, and cannot withstand floating use etc. in a general town.
Therefore, the provision of a floating type vehicle that can be used as a vehicle and can withstand use in the city and can be in a floating state is an invention that has been more confused than the above.

This invention solves the said subject and aims at provision of a floating type vehicle wonderfully.
Therefore, the invention according to claim 1 has at least a levitation wing in the vehicle lower direction and a fan that blows air in the lateral direction of the levitation wing, and a power source for rotating the fan, and the fan is rotated by the power source. Thus, the invention consists of a floating type vehicle that applies lift to the levitation wing and causes the vehicle to float, which can be solved by such an invention.
Alternatively, as in the invention according to claim 2, the levitation wing has a substantially donut shape, the upper surface portion swells, the upper surface portion swells, and the upper surface portion has a tight curved surface of R compared to the lower surface portion. Alternatively, a floating type vehicle that floats the vehicle by generating lift from the floating wing by blowing air from the side surface direction of the substantially donut-shaped floating wing may be used.

Further, as in the invention according to claim 3, the floating wing has a substantially donut shape, the upper surface portion swells, the upper surface portion swells, and the upper surface portion has a tight curved surface of R compared to the lower surface portion. Alternatively, the vehicle may be a floating type vehicle in which lift is generated in the floating wing by blowing air toward the side surface of the substantially donut-shaped floating wing to float the vehicle.
In addition, even if the power source for rotating the fan uses a rotary engine as in the invention according to claim 4, or the power source for rotating the fan as in the invention according to claim 5, The motor used may be used.

Furthermore, you may use the idle type vehicle which blows air with a high flow velocity by providing a some fan like the invention which concerns on Claim 6.
Alternatively, a floating type vehicle using rotary blades may be used instead of the fan as in the invention according to claim 7.
Further, as in the invention according to claim 8, the propeller is provided in the traveling direction of the vehicle, and intake by the propeller is performed, and the intake air is further blown to the fan by the ventilation cavity. A floating type vehicle that increases the flow rate of air to the fan by gradually passing the air sucked from the air cavity through a ventilation cavity that has a smaller diameter than the propeller diameter may be used.

In these cases, even if the propeller is provided in the traveling direction of the vehicle as in the invention according to claim 9 and can be moved in an arbitrary direction by the propulsive force by the propeller, the floating wing is inclined as in the invention according to claim 10. It is also possible to use a floating type vehicle that can move in any direction.
Further, a floating type vehicle having a propulsion mechanism in the vehicle and capable of moving in an arbitrary direction by the propulsive force of the propulsion mechanism as in the invention according to claim 11 may be used.

Since it comprised as mentioned above, according to the invention which concerns on Claim 1, the floating type vehicle which floats a vehicle by generating lift by carrying out ventilation using the fan with which a vehicle with a floating wing is equipped with a vehicle first. Can be provided.
Accordingly, the vehicle itself can be changed from a stationary state to a floating state, and the moving range of the vehicle can be extended to a very wide range around the vehicle.
This makes it possible to provide a vehicle with extremely high practicality because it does not require a run or the like and can turn around, so that it can withstand use in the city.

Furthermore, the vehicle is capable of causing a floating state, and is a very revolutionary vehicle that can operate the vehicle on various roads where rough driving and normal driving are impossible.
In particular, an emergency vehicle such as an ambulance can float immediately even if there is a traffic jam on the way, so that it can be immediately moved to the site.
Therefore, not only the movement on the ground but also the movement in the air is possible, and it has a tremendous and various effect that enables three-dimensional movement.
The movement in the front / rear / left / right direction is also an invention having a very wide range of utilization contents that have various propulsion mechanisms and thus have room for various arbitrary methods.

Next, the inventions according to

Yes, it is possible to efficiently blow air from 360 degrees around the levitation blade, and even a compact levitation blade can generate a great amount of lift.
Thus, lift can be generated on the substantially donut-shaped floating wing by the wind from the side surface from either the outer peripheral side surface or the inner peripheral side surface.
Next, the invention according to claim 4 uses a rotary engine as a power source for the rotation of the fan, and not only enables powerful ventilation by a small and high-performance rotary engine, but also reduces the weight. As a result, a highly practical power source can be provided.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a floating vehicle according to the present invention.
As shown in the figure, first, a person H gets on the center of the vehicle.
Front and rear of the vehicle are respectively provided with a floating wing 4, a fan 30, and a rotary engine 31 as a movable power source.
Further, a propeller 20 and a rotary engine 21 for rotating the propeller are provided in front of the vehicle.
First, the propeller 20 in front of the vehicle is rotated by the rotary engine 21 to perform intake air, and then blown through the ventilation cavity 5 in the vehicle and further to the respective fans 30 below the vehicle.
In this case, the ventilation cavity 5 in the vehicle is sucked by the propeller 20 that is the suction mechanism 2, and then the diameter is gradually narrowed to increase the flow velocity, which is the wind speed, and sent to the respective fans 30 at the lower part of the vehicle.

Further, the fan 30 that is rotated using the rotary engine 31 performs strong air blowing to the levitation wing 4 from the side surface direction, and generates lift to the levitation wing 4, whereby the vehicle is levitated. is there.
Accordingly, a floating mechanism is formed which includes the levitation blade 4 in the lower part of the vehicle, the fan 30 that blows air in the side surface direction of the levitation blade 4, and the power source 31 for rotating the fan 30. 30 is a floating type vehicle that rotates 30 to give lift to the levitation wing 4 and causes the vehicle to float.
Conventional floating mechanisms include those that rise due to the propulsive force that accompanies the rotation of the propeller, and conversely, those that float by forming an air layer by exhausting toward the ground. Is completely different and has a structure in which a floating wing 4 is provided in a floating mechanism, and air is blown to the floating wing 4 to generate lift and float, which is an extremely innovative invention.

Further, for example, as shown in the figure, the vehicle has a propeller 20 in the forward direction, and performs intake by the propeller 20, and the intake air is further blown to the fan 30 by the ventilation cavity 5. The flow rate of air blown to the fan 30 can be increased by gradually passing the intake air drawn from the ventilation cavity 5 having the diameter of the propeller 20 through the ventilation cavity 5 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the propeller. .
Therefore, it is possible to send the air to the levitation blade 4 more powerfully and at a high flow velocity from the side surface direction, and to give lift to the levitation blade 4.
As shown in the figure, by disposing the propeller 20 in the forward direction of the vehicle at the front portion of the vehicle, forward propulsive force is generated with the rotation of the propeller.

Accordingly, the propeller can move by generating a forward thrust.
This allows the propeller 20 to generate a propulsive force in the forward direction and move it while creating a floating state using the floating wing 4 that is a floating mechanism.
Of course, either the speed of the propeller 20 may be changed to adjust the speed, or the speed of the propeller may be arbitrarily changed.
In addition, the propeller 20 may have a propulsion mechanism that is different from or different from the propeller 20.

For example, it may have a jet engine or a rocket engine.
Or it is good also as what can be moved in a floating state in arbitrary directions from the fact that the lift depends on a part of the direction by controlling the inclination of the floating wing 4 constituting the vehicle.
The control of the inclination may be one that changes the shape of the levitation wing 4 or one that changes the installation state of the levitation wing 4.
This change in the floating wing 4 causes a change in the direction related to the lift, and the wing 4 can move in any direction.

Therefore, for example, by having it with the propeller 20 as shown in FIG.
Of course, it may have only one of them, or may have another propulsion mechanism as described above.
In this way, the present invention can be levitated and moved by extremely innovative power means.
Incidentally, air is blown by the fan 30 or the propeller 20, but a rotary engine is most suitable as a power source at the time of rotation. In particular, the engine shown in Japanese Patent No. 4389236 invented by the inventor of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 is used. Is optimal.
This is a small and extremely high performance rotary engine, which enables light emission with low pollution, and is optimal as an engine that is a power source for blowing air according to the present invention.

The fan 30 is a fan 30 that rotates and blows air. In the configuration shown in the figure, the suction side opening is made large and the discharge side opening is made narrow. It becomes possible.
In order to control the output, the power at the time of floating or moving may be controlled by controlling the rotational speed of the fan.
The specific relationship structure between the propeller 20 and the engine 21, the specific relationship structure between the fan 30 and the engine 31, and various control structures shown in FIG. 1 are not clearly shown in this figure, but are currently used frequently. As long as it has a rotating structure of the fan.
The control structure is also the same, and it is only necessary to have a general structure for controlling the rotational speed of the engine, the pitch of the propeller, the installation status of the floating wing, and the like.
In addition, regarding the control of the inclination of the levitation wing 4, any control mechanism that controls the inclination of the levitation wing may be used.
In addition, the flow of ventilation is shown by the arrow.
This air flow is an example.

3 is a sectional end view of an arbitrary position of the vehicle shown in FIG.
A propeller 20 having a rotary engine 21 is provided at the front portion of the vehicle, and the intake air accompanying the rotation further blows air to the front and rear levitation blade fans 30. It blows air.
The propeller 20 is moved by the propulsive force.
In the configuration shown in the figure, occupant facilities such as a handle and a seat are provided at positions between the front and rear floating fan fans 30 below the vehicle.
As shown in the figure, it is desirable to make the vehicle as light as possible in relation to lift, and this is shown as an example of the light weight configuration.
Of course, as long as more powerful air blowing and efficient lift can be generated, it is a matter of course that the present invention may be used for various vehicles having a weight corresponding thereto.

In addition, as shown in the figure, it is possible to provide a vehicle that is an appearance, for example, a cigar-like floating vehicle.
Although the present invention is specified as a vehicle, it is not essential that the vehicle has wheels.
By having wheels of any size and any shape, it is possible to move at the stage on the ground, and it may have wheels, but it is a vehicle for moving without wheels. However, this specification corresponds to a vehicle.
At least a vehicle for moving a person is used as a vehicle.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a floating wing.
As shown in this figure, the substantially donut-shaped disk has a lower surface formed as a flat surface or an extremely loose curved surface, and an upper surface formed as a curved surface having a tight radius.
Therefore, when the air is received from the outer circumferential direction of the circle, the flow velocity on the upper surface having a large R curve is increased, and the flow velocity on the lower surface is decreased.
For this reason, the pressure on the upper surface of the levitation wing is weakened, the pressure on the lower surface is increased, and an upward force is applied to generate lift that lifts the levitation wing.
Therefore, as shown in the figure, lift is generated in the upward direction with respect to the air blowing from the side surface direction.
When the direction in which the force is generated is indicated, first, the air is sent from the a direction, and the lift acts in the d direction and the drag b is generated.
Therefore, the resultant air force acting on the blade is c.
Of course, the lower surface may be formed as a concave shape.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example in which the direction of air blowing is further changed.
As shown in this figure, the propeller 20 and the fan 30 are blown by applying a rotation opposite to the rotation direction shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the lift is generated by applying wind to the levitation blade to float. To do.
In particular, the propeller 20 at the rear of the vehicle is rotated by the rotary engine 21 to exhaust the rear of the vehicle. Since a wide opening is exhausted, the small-diameter cavity for ventilation in the vehicle has a high flow rate with the flow rate. Is possible.
Further, by performing further intake by the respective fans at the lower part of the vehicle, it is possible to perform intake with a high flow velocity from the lower part of the vehicle.
Accordingly, the levitation wing is blown at a high flow velocity from the central portion toward the outer peripheral direction, and can generate lift.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of another configuration of the floating vehicle according to the present invention.
As shown in the figure, it has a substantially motorcycle shape.
In addition, the circumference | surroundings of the floating wing | blade 4 for a floating are shown in the state which saw through the structure.
There are small wheels on the front and rear of the vehicle, and the vehicle is held by these wheels when in contact with the ground.
Such a vehicle has a wing 4, a fan 30 including a propeller, and a movable rotary engine 31 at the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively.
The levitation blade 4 is further contained in a casing having an opening in the outer circumferential direction, and air is allowed to flow from the opening, and is further exhausted to the outside of the vehicle through a ventilation cavity behind the fan 30 made of a propeller. Is.

The fan shown in the figure may be of a propeller shape or a fan shape, and may take any form as long as the fan has high intake efficiency and allows high speed air flow, that is, intake.
Therefore, it is of course possible to use a fan that uses a rotating blade such as a propeller in addition to a fan.
By comprising in this way, it will have the mechanism 3 for a floating each in the front and back, and both of them enable the vehicle to float.
Furthermore, with respect to the floating mechanism according to the present invention, the lift force in the upward direction can be changed to a force directed diagonally forward or in each direction by tilting the floating blade 4, and the floating blade can be tilted by an arbitrary control mechanism. It may be possible to move in an arbitrary direction.

Alternatively, not only the floating wing itself but also the entire floating mechanism portion can be tilted in each direction so that the direction in which the lift is applied may be arbitrarily changed.
In addition, another propulsion mechanism for propulsion such as a jet engine or a rocket engine may be included.
Further, in the configuration shown in the figure, the intake air for giving lift to the levitation blade 4 is further discharged from the rear of the vehicle through a ventilation cavity.
By constructing as shown in FIG. 1 to this figure, the floating wing 4 can be floated, and further, the levitation wing 4 is inclined to an arbitrary position, so that the force advances in the inclination direction. It is also possible to move in any direction by inclining.

Furthermore, an arbitrary speed can be obtained by controlling the wind force, that is, the flow velocity of the air blown to the intake air, that is, the floating wing.
Therefore, it is possible to make unnecessary and progress by simply taking outside air, and further exhausting outside air.
As the engine, the rotary engine shown in FIG. 2 is optimal because it is small, light, and has high performance, and the exhaust gas can be made in an extremely clean state, so that it can be used as a highly useful environment.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the floating type vehicle according to the present invention may be configured to rotate a fan or a propeller by a motor using electricity as a power source for floating and use other small gasoline or light oil. The engine used may be one that rotates a fan or a propeller with an engine using hydrogen or other various energy.

It should be noted that a floating mechanism may be provided on the lower surface of a normal four-wheel or six-wheel vehicle, bus, or truck so that the vehicle can be floated and moved.
For example, a floating mechanism having a large floating wing in the lower part may be provided to float and move the vehicle.
Alternatively, for example, any number of floating mechanisms such as four, six, or eight may be provided in the lower part of the vehicle, and thereby the vehicle may be suspended.
