Description
本発明は、模型用蒸気機関車の発煙装置に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a smoke generator for a model steam locomotive.
屋内での走行を目的とした小型模型蒸気機関車は、主に軌間（線路を構成する左右のレールの間隔）が３２ｍｍ、２４ｍｍ、１６．５ｍｍ、１２ｍｍ、９ｍｍ、６．５ｍｍなどの軌道の上を走行する。
一部の小型模型蒸気機関車は、電気ヒーターやガスを燃やしそれを熱源として水を沸かしたボイラーで発生した蒸気を動力源としてピストン運動を回転運動にする機構（以下「蒸気駆動源」と言う）を持ち、蒸気駆動源からの排気を模型蒸気機関車の煙突から出すものがある。しかし、煙突から排出された蒸気が室内で充分に白く見えるような排煙効果が得られない問題があった。 Small model steam locomotives for indoor travel are mainly on tracks with gauges (intervals between the left and right rails constituting the track) of 32 mm, 24 mm, 16.5 mm, 12 mm, 9 mm, 6.5 mm, etc. Drive on.
Some small model steam locomotives use a mechanism that turns the piston motion into a rotational motion using steam generated by a boiler that boiled water using an electric heater or gas as a heat source (hereinafter referred to as a "steam drive source") ), And the exhaust from the steam drive source is emitted from the chimney of the model steam locomotive. However, there is a problem that the smoke exhaust effect is not obtained so that the steam discharged from the chimney looks white enough in the room.

However, there is a problem that the smoke exhaust effect is not obtained so that the steam discharged from the chimney looks white enough in the room.
また、多くの小型模型蒸気機関車は、電動モーターを動力源として利用しているものが一般的で、その構造から電動モーターを動力とする模型蒸気機関車では煙突からの排煙はできない。
しかし、小型鉄道模型蒸気機関車の煙突からの排煙が出来ない欠点を解決する手段として、油性の液体をヒーターで蒸発させ気化した油を煙突から出し疑似排煙効果とする方式がある。しかし、その煙の排出はピストンの運動と同期しておらず、模型蒸気機関車の走行中は進行方向と反対側へ自然に流れるだけで、実物の蒸気機関車のような間歇的な排煙効果を得られない問題があった。また、蒸発油として飛散した油が模型本体や走路周辺に付着して汚れる問題があった。さらに、油が蒸発した煙は特有の臭気とともに部屋に漂い、健康にも悪い印象を持たれる惧れがあった。 In addition, many small model steam locomotives generally use an electric motor as a power source, and the model steam locomotive powered by the electric motor cannot emit smoke from the chimney because of its structure.
However, as a means for solving the disadvantage that smoke cannot be exhausted from a chimney of a small model train steam locomotive, there is a system in which oily liquid is evaporated by a heater and vaporized oil is discharged from the chimney to make a pseudo smoke exhaust effect. However, the smoke emission is not synchronized with the movement of the piston, and while the model steam locomotive is running, it only flows naturally in the direction opposite to the traveling direction, and intermittent smoke emission like a real steam locomotive. There was a problem that the effect could not be obtained. In addition, there is a problem that the oil scattered as the evaporated oil adheres to the model body and the periphery of the runway and becomes dirty. Furthermore, the smoke from which the oil evaporated drifted to the room with a characteristic odor, and there was a possibility that it would have a bad impression on health.

機関車本体や走行する周囲を汚さず、かつ無臭で人体に安全度が高い、排煙と蒸気排出の効果を有する発煙装置を設けた小型模型蒸気機関車を実現した。
We realized a small model steam locomotive equipped with a smoke generator that does not pollute the locomotive body and the surrounding area and is odorless and highly safe for the human body.
第一の実施例として、図１には実施形態の車両玩具の全体図が示されている。この実施形態の車両玩具１は模型蒸気機関車として構成されている。この模型蒸気機関車１には電気ボイラー８が搭載されている。電気ボイラー８で作られた蒸気が、蒸気圧力を調整する加減弁９から加熱管１０を通じ蒸気エンジン７に供給される。蒸気エンジン７は過熱管１０から供給された蒸気でピストン運動を生成して、主動輪３、４、５を回転させ模型蒸気機関車１を走行する構造になっている。
As a first example, FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a vehicle toy according to an embodiment. The vehicle toy 1 of this embodiment is configured as a model steam locomotive. An electric boiler 8 is mounted on the model steam locomotive 1. The steam produced by the electric boiler 8 is supplied to the steam engine 7 through the heating pipe 10 from the control valve 9 for adjusting the steam pressure. The steam engine 7 has a structure in which the steam supplied from the superheater tube 10 generates a piston motion, and the main steam wheels 3, 4, 5 are rotated to travel the model steam locomotive 1.
図２には模型蒸気機関車の発煙装置の構成を示す図が示されている。液体タンク１１はタンク注入口１５から注がれた非油性の液体を溜める役目をしてる。溜められた液体は誘導紐穴１６から液体タンク１１内に液体誘導紐１３が挿入されている。液体誘導紐１３はガラス繊維など不燃性材料で編まれた構造をしており、毛細管現象により液体タンク１１内の非油性の液体を誘導する。
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a smoke generator for a model steam locomotive. The liquid tank 11 serves to store a non-oily liquid poured from the tank inlet 15. A liquid guide string 13 is inserted into the liquid tank 11 through the guide string hole 16 for the stored liquid. The liquid guide string 13 has a structure knitted from a nonflammable material such as glass fiber, and induces a non-oily liquid in the liquid tank 11 by capillary action.
液体タンク１１から外部に出ている液体誘導紐１３の周囲には電熱線（ヒーター）１２が巻かれている。電熱線（ヒーター）１２はヒーター電源１７から供給される電力で熱せられ、液体誘導紐１３を毛細管現象で誘導される非油性の液体を気化する。電熱線（ヒーター）１２は、電熱線に限らず電力を用いて熱を発生し液体誘導紐１３の周囲を熱する手段があれば、同様の効果が期待できる。
A heating wire (heater) 12 is wound around the liquid guide string 13 that is exposed to the outside from the liquid tank 11. The heating wire (heater) 12 is heated by the electric power supplied from the heater power source 17 and vaporizes the non-oily liquid that induces the liquid induction string 13 by capillary action. The heating wire (heater) 12 is not limited to the heating wire, and the same effect can be expected if there is a means for generating heat using electric power and heating the periphery of the liquid induction string 13.
液体誘導紐１３と蒸気エンジン７の排気管１４の出口は模型機関車本体１の煙突６の直下に配置されており、煙突６の直下で気化した非油性の液体が水蒸気を含んだ蒸気エンジン７の排気と混合され、白濁した気体が白煙として生成される。この気体が模型機関車本体１の煙突６から排出されて、蒸気機関車の排煙となる。この時、蒸気エンジンの排気は間歇的になされるため、混合された白濁の排煙も間歇的となる
The liquid guide string 13 and the outlet of the exhaust pipe 14 of the steam engine 7 are disposed immediately below the chimney 6 of the model locomotive body 1, and the non-oily liquid vaporized just below the chimney 6 contains the steam engine 7. A white turbid gas is produced as white smoke. This gas is discharged from the chimney 6 of the model locomotive main body 1 and becomes a smoke exhaust of the steam locomotive. At this time, the exhaust of the steam engine is intermittent, so the mixed cloudy flue gas is also intermittent.
液体タンク１１内の非油性の液体の予熱のため、図１に示すように、蒸気エンジン７を液体タンク１１の直下に配置すると、蒸気エンジン７の熱で液体タンク１１内の非油性の液体が温まり、液体誘導紐１３と電熱線（ヒーター）１２からなる気化装置内では少ない電力で気化しやすくなるというさらなる効果がある。
蒸気エンジン７を液体タンク１１の直下に配置できない場合は、電気で熱を発生する装置を液体タンク１１直下に配置すると、その予熱効果で気化装置内では同じ効果が得られる。 In order to preheat the non-oily liquid in theliquid tank 11, as shown in FIG. 1, when the steam engine 7 is disposed immediately below the liquid tank 11, the non-oily liquid in the liquid tank 11 is heated by the heat of the steam engine 7. There is a further effect that the vaporization apparatus is warmed and easily vaporized with a small amount of electric power in the vaporization apparatus composed of the liquid induction string 13 and the heating wire (heater) 12.
When thesteam engine 7 cannot be disposed directly below the liquid tank 11, the same effect can be obtained in the vaporizer by the preheating effect when a device that generates heat by electricity is disposed directly below the liquid tank 11.
蒸気エンジン７を液体タンク１１の直下に配置できない場合は、電気で熱を発生する装置を液体タンク１１直下に配置すると、その予熱効果で気化装置内では同じ効果が得られる。 In order to preheat the non-oily liquid in the

A reflection film 18 attached to any one of the main driving wheels 3 to 5 (the main driving wheel 5 in FIG. 3) and a photo interrupter 19 generate an electric signal output at least once from the photo interrupter 19 per rotation of the main driving wheel. Is done.
図３にある、フォトインタラプタ１９から出力される電気信号をオンオフ制御回路２０で、図４で示すように、主動輪のほぼ半回転の分だけオンする信号２２に変換する。図４に示す２３の期間は車輪が一回転する時間を表し、２４はオフの状態を、２５はオンの状態を表している。さらに、オンオフ制御回路２０の出力信号で空気排出装置２１を駆動し、その排出空気と液体タンク１１内、液体誘導紐１３と電熱線（ヒーター）１２から得られた非油性の液体を気化した気体が煙突６の直下で混合される。その結果、実物の蒸気機関車のようにピストン工程と同期した白濁した気体が生成され、図３で示す模型機関車本体１の煙突６から排出、即ち排煙される。
また、空気排出装置２１をオンする期間は、見た目の排煙効果が最大となるようにオンオフ制御回路で調整できる。 The electric signal output from thephoto interrupter 19 shown in FIG. 3 is converted by the on / off control circuit 20 into a signal 22 that is turned on by approximately half of the main driving wheel as shown in FIG. The period 23 shown in FIG. 4 represents the time for which the wheel rotates once, 24 represents the off state, and 25 represents the on state. Further, the air exhaust device 21 is driven by the output signal of the on / off control circuit 20, and the exhausted air and the gas in the liquid tank 11, the gas obtained by vaporizing the non-oily liquid obtained from the liquid induction string 13 and the heating wire (heater) 12. Are mixed directly under the chimney 6. As a result, a cloudy gas synchronized with the piston process is generated like a real steam locomotive, and is discharged from the chimney 6 of the model locomotive main body 1 shown in FIG.
Further, the period during which theair exhaust device 21 is turned on can be adjusted by the on / off control circuit so that the apparent smoke exhaust effect is maximized.
また、空気排出装置２１をオンする期間は、見た目の排煙効果が最大となるようにオンオフ制御回路で調整できる。 The electric signal output from the
Further, the period during which the
また、図５に示すように、主動輪の回転に応じて制御せずに、スイッチ２６を配しオンオフ制御回路２０の出力をスイッチ２６が閉じている時間だけ空気排出装置２１から空気の排出ができるようしてもよい。その際、オンオフ制御回路２０から出力された信号で空気排出装置２１を駆動し排出された空気と液体タンク１１内の液体誘導紐１３と電熱線（ヒーター）１２から得られた気体と混合して生成された白濁気体を遮蔽板２７により、模型蒸気機関車の下部に排出するように導くことにより、実物の蒸気機関車のボイラー近傍に漂う蒸気と同様な排出効果が得られる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, air is discharged from the air discharge device 21 for the time during which the switch 26 is arranged and the output of the on / off control circuit 20 is closed without controlling according to the rotation of the main driving wheel. You may be able to do it. At that time, the air output device 21 is driven by a signal output from the on / off control circuit 20 to mix the exhausted air with the gas obtained from the liquid induction string 13 and the heating wire (heater) 12 in the liquid tank 11. The generated cloudy gas is guided by the shielding plate 27 so as to be discharged to the lower part of the model steam locomotive, so that the same exhaust effect as the steam drifting in the vicinity of the boiler of the actual steam locomotive can be obtained.
さらに、図６に示すように、空気排出装置２１を駆動し排出された空気と液体タンク１１内の、液体誘導紐１３と電熱線（ヒーター）１２から得られた気体と混合して生成された白濁気体を、ダクト２８を用いて蒸気エンジン７の近傍に白濁した気体を排出することにより、実物の蒸気機関車で蒸気エンジンのドレインから噴き出る蒸気と同様な効果が得られる。
また、このダクトを給水加熱管や汽笛などの近傍に配置すれば、実物の蒸気機関車がもつ蒸気の排気効果が得られる。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the air generated by mixing the air discharged from theair discharge device 21 and the gas obtained from the liquid induction string 13 and the heating wire (heater) 12 in the liquid tank 11 was generated. By discharging the white turbid gas to the vicinity of the steam engine 7 using the duct 28, the same effect as that of the steam ejected from the drain of the steam engine in the actual steam locomotive can be obtained.
Further, if this duct is arranged in the vicinity of a feed water heating pipe, a whistle, etc., the steam exhaust effect of a real steam locomotive can be obtained.
また、このダクトを給水加熱管や汽笛などの近傍に配置すれば、実物の蒸気機関車がもつ蒸気の排気効果が得られる。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the air generated by mixing the air discharged from the
Further, if this duct is arranged in the vicinity of a feed water heating pipe, a whistle, etc., the steam exhaust effect of a real steam locomotive can be obtained.
さらに、図７にしめすように、煙突６から出る排気を排気口径調整リング２９で絞ることにより、排気温度を高め排煙効果を強め、煙突６から出る時の温度差を広げて白濁を強め、より排煙効果を強調することも可能である。
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the exhaust gas exiting from the chimney 6 is throttled by the exhaust port diameter adjusting ring 29, thereby increasing the exhaust temperature and enhancing the exhaust effect, widening the temperature difference when exiting the chimney 6, and increasing white turbidity, It is also possible to emphasize the smoke emission effect.
また、非油性の液体に予め芳香液を混ぜることにより、疑似発煙した時に装置から好みの匂いを発生できる。特に模型蒸気機関車の場合は、石炭臭の液を混ぜておくと実物の臨場感を出す効果も得られる。さらに、非油性の液体に色素を混ぜる事により、色のついた発煙を実現できる。
In addition, by mixing an aromatic liquid in advance with a non-oily liquid, it is possible to generate a favorite odor from the device when pseudo smoke is generated. In particular, in the case of a model steam locomotive, mixing the coal odor liquid can also provide an effect of giving a real sense of reality. Furthermore, colored smoke can be achieved by mixing pigments with non-oily liquids.
尚、図５から図７に示す実施例は、駆動源がモーターの場合に限らず、蒸気エンジンの場合にも適用できる。
The embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 are applicable not only to the case where the drive source is a motor but also to the case of a steam engine.
