Abstract
Description
図1は、放球装置1の内部を示す斜視図である。
放球装置1は、ロープ23によりラジオゾンデ22が吊り下げられた観測用の気球21を無人で自動的に飛ばし、ラジオゾンデ22が上空で取得した気温や風向等の観測情報を受信する。
コンテナ3の天面部34において、放球室32側には屋根材がなく、放球室32の上部に放球口部321が形成される。放球口部321は、スライド屋根323に閉塞される。
コンテナ3の長手方向の各側壁35の上部には、スライド屋根323をコンテナ3の長手方向に案内するレール351がある。スライド屋根323は、駆動機構36(図4)により駆動される。スライド屋根323は、放球口部321を閉塞する図2の閉位置と、準備室33の天面部331を覆う開位置との間を移動する。側壁35には、作業員が準備室33に入退室するためのドア352がある。
キャニスタモジュール4は、キャニスタ41(収容部)、フレーム42(保持部材)、およびパレット43(保持部材)を備える。キャニスタ41は、箱状であり、複数ある。キャニスタ41は、気球21、および気球21にロープ23を介して接続するラジオゾンデ22を収容する。キャニスタ41は、4列×8行に配列され、マトリックス状に並ぶ。マトリックス状とは、キャニスタ41が縦横に格子状に規則正しく並ぶ状態を指す。
準備室33には、PLC332(Programmable Logic Controller)、受信機333、PC334(Personal Computer)、および水素タンク335が設置される。PLC331は、駆動機構36を介してスライド屋根323を駆動する。PLC331は、開閉シリンダ431によってキャニスタ41内にある開閉機構415を駆動し、これによりキャニスタ41の蓋412を開閉する(図5参照)。水素タンク335は、気球21に送る水素を貯蔵し、空圧弁432に接続する。PLC332は、空圧弁432を開閉することで、気球21への水素の供給および供給停止を行う。
気球21は、萎んだ状態でキャニスタ41内に収納される。気球21の首部211には、接続部212が接続する。ロープ23の一端は接続部212に接続し、他端はラジオゾンデ22に接続する。キャニスタ41内には、ガスノズル413に接続する引き抜き機構414がある。引き抜き機構414は、気球21の接続部212に接続し、気球21に水素を送る。引き抜き機構414は、気球21が所定量の浮力を得ると、接続部212を切り離す。
放球室32と準備室33とには、開口部311を通って放球室32と準備室33とに亘って延びるレール5が設けられる。キャニスタモジュール4は、レール5上を走行する台車6(移動機構)の上に設置される。台車6は、キャニスタモジュール4をレール5に沿って移動させる。作業員は、台車6を動かしてキャニスタモジュール4を放球室32と準備室33との間で移動させることができる。気球21の大きさは、気球21がキャニスタ41に接続された状態で膨らむ際に、気球21が放球口部321から放球室32の外部に飛び出ない大きさである。
キャニスタモジュール4は、放球室32の中央に設置される。平面視で放球口部321内にキャニスタ41の全開口部411が位置する。キャニスタモジュール4と放球室32の内壁322との間には十分な隙間がある。これにより、マトリックス状に並ぶキャニスタ41の最外周に位置するキャニスタ41が気球21を膨らませる際に、気球21が放球室32の内壁322に接触して気球21に大きな力が加わることを防止できる。
PLC332は、例えば1日1回、定時に1個の気球を放球するように放球装置1を制御する。この際、PLC332は、まず、駆動機構36を駆動してスライド屋根323を開く。続いて、PLC332は、開閉シリンダ431を駆動してキャニスタ41の蓋412を開くとともに、空圧弁432を開いて気球21に水素を充填する。気球21は、キャニスタ41の引き抜き機構414に接続された状態で、放球室32内で膨らむ。気球21が所定量の浮力を得ると、引き抜き機構414が作動し、気球21を切り離す(図9)。
本実施形態では、キャニスタ41をマトリックス状に配置するので、キャニスタ41を多く設置しても、キャニスタモジュール4にデッドスペースが生じることを抑制できる。従って、本実施形態では、キャニスタモジュール4の大型化を抑制できるので、放球装置1の大型化を抑制できる。
キャニスタ41は、縦横に格子状(マトリクス状)に規則正しく並んでいればよく、本実施形態のように各列のキャニスタ41の個数が同数である必要はない。例えば、図3のキャニスタモジュール4において、紙面右端の列のキャニスタ41は、7個でもよく、本実施形態のように8個でなくてよい。
