DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention will be described below.Unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms used in this specification are used in the meanings generally used in the relevant field.Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs.In the event of any discrepancy, this specification (including definitions) shall prevail.

[0009] The present invention aims to provide an operating device that allows a passenger inside a cabin of a flying object equipped with a cabin to easily operate a dropped object provided outside the cabin, An operating tool for operating a dropped object provided outside the cabin from inside the cabin of a flying object, The operating tool includes an operating wire; The above problem is solved by providing an operating device in which the operating wire is inserted into a through hole in the wall of the cabin, one end of which is connected to a handle provided inside the cabin, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the dropped object or a storage body that holds the dropped object.

[0010] Therefore, the operating device of the present invention is an operating wire for operating a dropped object located outside the cabin from inside the cabin of a flying object, which is inserted into a through hole in the wall of the cabin, one end of which is connected to a handle inside the cabin and the other end of which is detachably connected to the dropped object or its storage body, and other configurations are not particularly limited.

[0011] (flying object) For example, the flying object may be a balloon or an airship, as long as it has a cabin.

[0012] (cabin) The cabin may be a container that can accommodate people (passengers) and is not particularly limited in terms of material or size. For purposes such as ultra-high altitude flight, a sealed cabin is preferred. However, in other cases, an open cabin is acceptable.

[0013] For example, it is preferable that a sealing member be provided to close a through hole formed in the wall of the cabin through which the operating wire passes, thereby increasing the airtightness inside the cabin.

[0014] Here, the sealing member is not limited to any other configuration as long as it blocks the through hole, but for example, the sealing member may include a concave or convex member (operation side member) provided on the operating wire or handle, and a convex or concave member (cabin side member) fixed to the through hole in the wall of the cabin.

[0015] Here, the materials for the concave and convex members are not limited, but are preferably made of silicon, rubber, or other materials with excellent adhesion and / or sealing properties, and the surface of the operating wire is preferably coated with grease, as this can reduce air leakage from the through-holes formed in the walls of the cabin.

[0016] In addition, it is preferable that the recess formed for attaching the operating wire among the members (concave or convex members) provided on the operating wire or the handle is provided with a filler that fills the recess, because in this case, the filler serves to further increase the sealing of the gap between the operating wire and the concave or convex member.

[0017] Alternatively, the sealing member may comprise a member (operation side member) having a contact surface attached to the operating wire or handle, and a member (cabin side member) having a contact surface fixed to the through hole in the wall of the cabin, making it possible to seal the through hole by bringing the contact surfaces of both members into close contact.

[0018] (Connection between the control wire and the dropped object or its container) As long as the connection between the operating wire and the dropped object or its container can be cut off, there are no other limitations on the configuration, but it is preferable to use an engaging member for the connection.

[0019] This is because there is no need to process the end of the control wire to form a severable connection with the dropped object or its container.

[0020] In this case, the operating wire and the dropped object or its storage body can be detachably connected by an engaging member, and the connection between the dropped object or its storage body and the operating wire by the engaging member can be released by pulling the operating wire.

[0021] Here, the engagement member may include an engagement pin or an engagement plate.

[0022] (operating wire) The operating wire is inserted through a through hole in the wall of the cabin, with one end connected to a handle inside the cabin and the other end detachably connected to the dropped object or its storage body, and other configurations are not particularly limited, but the part of the operating wire outside the cabin may have a structure in which an inner wire is inserted into a tubular outer wire, and in this case, the outer receiving member that receives the cabin-side end of the outer wire can be positioned outside the cabin so as to be above the through hole, thereby increasing the sealing ability of the through hole.

[0023] (dropped items) The dropped object is not particularly limited as long as it is dropped from the flying object to reduce the weight of the flying object, but examples of dropped objects include ballast or trail rope, equipment and sensors for conducting drop tests, etc. Ballast can be, for example, sand or metal weights, or liquids such as water. Trail ropes can be made of, for example, nylon or hemp. However, they may also be made of other materials.

[0024] By having the occupant drop the equipment and sensors used in the drop test at a specified altitude, it becomes possible to conduct microgravity experiments.

[0025] As explained above, the operating device of the present invention is an operating wire for operating a dropped object located outside the cabin from inside the cabin of the flying object, which is inserted into a through hole in the wall of the cabin, one end of which is connected to a handle inside the cabin and the other end of which is detachably connected to the dropped object or its storage body.Other configurations are not particularly limited, and the flying object of the present invention is equipped with the above-mentioned operating device and at least the dropped object from among the dropped object and its storage body.In the following embodiments, the operating device is one which has a sealing member that seals the through hole in the wall of the cabin, and the operating wire and the storage body that holds the dropped object are detachably connected by an engaging member.

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a manipulation tool 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, showing the overall configuration of the manipulation tool 100. As shown in FIG.

[0028] This operating tool 100 is an operating tool for operating a storage container 160 for dropped objects provided outside the cabin 1a (see FIG. 5(a)) of the flying object 1 from inside the cabin 1a. Here, the dropped object is ballast Ba (see FIG. 6) made of sand, but is not limited to this and may also be a nylon trail rope Tr (see FIG. 7).

[0029] Specifically, the operating tool 100 includes an operating wire 130, which is inserted through a through hole 10a in the wall 10 of the cabin, one end of which is connected to a handle 140 provided inside the cabin, and the other end of which is detachably connected to a container 160 that stores the object to be dropped. Note that the other end of the operating wire 130 may be detachably connected directly to the object to be dropped, rather than to the container 160 that stores the object to be dropped.

[0030] Here, the portion of the operating wire 130 outside the cabin has a structure in which an inner wire 131 is inserted into a tubular outer wire 132, but the other portion of the operating wire 130 is composed of only the inner wire 131.

[0031] The operating tool 100 also includes an inner sealing member 110 and an outer sealing member 120 as sealing members that close the through-hole 10a.

[0032] Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the sealing member, and shows the individual components that make up the R portion of Fig. 1. Fig. 2(a) shows the appearance of the inner wire 131, Fig. 2(b) shows the cross-sectional structure of the plug member 111, Fig. 2(c) shows the cross-sectional structure of the plug receiving member 112, Fig. 2(d) shows the cross-sectional structure of the cabin wall 10, Fig. 2(e) shows the cross-sectional structure of the outer receiving member (concave member) 122, and Fig. 2(f) shows the cross-sectional structure of the outer plug member (convex member) 121.

[0033] That is, the inner sealing member 110 comprises a plug member (convex member) 111 provided on the operating wire 130 (or handle 140) and a plug receiving member (concave member) 112 fixed to the through-hole 10a. Here, silicone is used as the material for the plug member (convex member) 111 and the plug receiving member (concave member) 112, but the material may be rubber or other material that ensures adhesion between the two. The surface of the inner wire 131 is coated with vacuum grease. This is because vacuum grease can improve the airtightness of the gap between the inner wire 131 and the outer wire 132, and the airtightness between the inner wire 131 and the wire insertion hole of the member through which it is inserted.

[0034] As shown in Figures 2(b) and (c), the plug member 111 and the plug receiving member 112 have wire insertion holes 111a and 112a formed therein for inserting the inner wire 131 (Figure 2(a)), and the plug receiving member 112 is fixed to the cabin wall 10 so that the wire insertion hole 112a coincides with the through hole 10a (Figure 2(d)) in the cabin wall 10, and the plug member 111 is engageable with the plug receiving member 112 so that the wire insertion hole 111a coincides with the wire insertion hole 112a (Figure 2(c)) of the plug receiving member 112.

[0035] A recess is formed on the engagement end surface of the plug receiving member 112 (the end surface on the left side of the paper in Figure 2), and a protrusion is formed on the engagement end surface of the plug member 111 (the end surface on the right side of the paper in Figure 2), so that the recess of the plug receiving member 112 and the protrusion of the plug member 111 engage with each other.

[0036] Here, a recess 111b is formed in the non-engagement end face (the end face on the left side of the paper in FIG. 2) of the plug member 111, and one end of the wire insertion hole 111a opens at the bottom face of this recess 111b. When the inner wire 131 is inserted into this wire insertion hole 111a, a filler 111c (see FIG. 3) is filled into the recess 111b, so that the gap between the inner wire 131 and the wire insertion hole 111a is sealed.

[0037] The outer sealing member 120 includes an end (outer plug member) 121 of the outer wire 132 on the cabin side, and an outer receiving member 122 that receives it, with a wire insertion hole 121a formed in the outer plug member 121 and a wire insertion hole 122a formed in the outer receiving member 122. The outer receiving member 122 is fixed to the outside of the cabin wall 10a so that the wire insertion hole 122a coincides with the through-hole 10a in the cabin wall 10. An outer wire end fitting 133 is attached to the end of the outer wire 132 opposite the cabin, so that the inner wire 131 can easily move in and out of the outer wire 132.

[0038] At the tip of the operating wire 130 outside the cabin (the end farthest from the cabin), the part of the inner wire 131 protruding from the outer wire 132 is detachably connected to the storage body 160 via an engagement pin (engagement member) 150, and by pulling the operating wire, the engagement between the storage body 160 for the dropped object and the operating wire 130 by the engagement pin 150 is released.

[0039] Specifically, the tip of the inner wire 131 is connected to the engagement pin 150 by a wire clip 134, and the engagement pin 150 and the housing 160 are connected in a detachable manner.

[0040] Next, the operation of dropping an object will be described.

[0041] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the operating device 100 in a non-operated state, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the operating device 100 in an operated state.

[0042] When the operating device 100 is in an unoperated state (i.e., when the handle 140 is not being pulled), the plug member (convex member) 111 is in close contact (engaged) with the plug receiving member (concave member) 112, as shown in Figure 3, and therefore the through hole 10a in the cabin wall 10 is sealed by the plug member 111 and the plug receiving member 112.

[0043] At this time, the engagement pin 150 is engaged with the storage body 160, and the dropped object is maintained in a state where it is stored in the storage body 160.

[0044] On the other hand, when the operating device 100 is in an operating state (i.e., when the handle 140 is pulled), the plug member (convex member) 111 is separated from the plug receiving member (concave member) 112 (disengaged state) as shown in Figure 4, and as a result, the through hole 10a in the cabin wall 10 becomes connected to the space inside the cabin via the wire insertion hole 112a in the plug receiving member 112 (see Figure 2(c)).

[0045] Furthermore, the through hole 10a of the cabin wall 10 is connected to the outside of the cabin via the wire insertion hole 122a of the outer receiving member 122, the wire insertion hole 121a of the outer plug member 121, and the gap between the outer wire 132 and the inner wire 131.

[0046] Therefore, when the handle 140 of the operating tool 100 is pulled, the air inside the cabin temporarily leaks out of the cabin through the through-hole 10a in the wall 10 of the cabin.

[0047] At this time, the engagement pin 150 is released from the storage body 160, that is, it is removed from the storage body 160, and the dropped object is dropped from the storage body 160.

[0048] Thereafter, when the handle 140 is returned, the plug member 111 is brought into close contact with the plug receiving member 112 (engaged state) as shown in Figure 3, and the through hole 10a in the cabin wall 10 returns to a sealed state by the plug member 111 and the plug receiving member 112.

[0049] Figure 5 shows a flying object 1 equipped with a cabin 1a to which an operating device 100 and a storage body 160 are attached, where Figure 5(a) shows the entire flying object 1, Figure 5(b) shows the state of the storage body 160 when the operating device 100 is not being operated, and Figure 5(c) shows the movement of the storage body 160 when the operating device 100 is being operated.

[0050] Here, the flying object 1 comprises a gas bag 1b that generates buoyancy and a cabin 1a suspended from the gas bag 1b, and the cabin 1a has the above-mentioned operating device 100 and a ballast dropping structure operated by the operating device 100.

[0051] Hereinafter, as the ballast dropping structure, a structure for dropping the ballast Ba stored in the storage body 160 will be described.

[0052] Here, a bag with a cylindrical opening is used as the storage body 160, and sand is filled inside as the dropped object. This storage body 160 is attached to the cabin in a state where it is folded in half so that the opening faces upward, and when the engaging pin 150 is released, one opening faces downward due to its own weight, releasing the dropped object, sand. An example of a specific configuration will be described below.

[0053] Figure 6 is a diagram for explaining the structure (ballast dropping structure) for dropping ballast Ba by operating the operating device 100, where Figure 6(a) shows the storage body 160 holding the ballast Ba, and Figure 6(b) shows the ballast Ba being dropped from the storage body 160.

[0054] In the ballast dropping structure shown in Fig. 6, the storage body 160 is a cylindrical bag, one open end of which is fixed to the outer surface of the cabin wall 10 by a fixing piece 161, and the other open end of which is connected to the pin engagement cylinder 152 via a connecting piece 162. In addition, the pin attachment cylinder 151 is attached to the outer surface of the cabin wall 10, and the pin engagement cylinder 152 is held to the pin attachment cylinder 151 by an engagement pin 150.

[0055] In this ballast dropping structure, when the pin engaging cylinder 152 is held by the pin mounting cylinder 151, the openings at both ends of the cylindrical bag body, which is the storage body 160, face upward, making it possible to store ballast Ba in the cylindrical bag body.

[0056] When the engagement pin 150 is pulled out from the pin mounting cylinder 151, the engagement pin 150 releases the pin engagement cylinder 152 from its hold on the pin mounting cylinder 151, the opening at one end of the cylindrical bag faces downward, and the ballast Ba falls naturally from the cylindrical bag.

[0057] The effect of ballast dropping will be explained below.

[0058] First, when ascending, the speed can be adjusted by dropping ballast to reduce weight, thereby accelerating the ascent speed, and when descending, the speed can be reduced by dropping ballast to reduce weight, thereby slowing down the descent speed.

[0059] In the ballast dropping structure shown in Figure 6, the pin engagement cylinder 152 connected to the storage body 160 containing the dropped object via a connecting piece 162 is directly held by the engagement pin 150, but in order to reduce the load on the engagement pin 150, the storage body 160 may be held by a folded belt member, one end of the belt member fixed to the wall of the cabin, and the other end held by the engagement pin 150.

[0060] Fig. 6A shows a ballast dropping structure that uses a belt member 180 to hold a storage body 160, Fig. 6A(a) shows a state in which the ballast is stored in the storage body 160, and Fig. 6A(b) shows a state in which the ballast is being dropped from the storage body 160. Fig. 6B is an enlarged view of the belt member of Fig. 6A, Fig. 6B(a) shows the state of the belt member when the ballast is stored in the storage body 160, and Fig. 6B(b) shows the state of the belt member when the ballast is being dropped from the storage body 160.

[0061] Belt member 180 has a belt main body 181, a cylindrical pin guide portion 182 attached to belt main body 181, and a cylindrical fixture 183 attached to belt main body 181 so as to protrude from it, with cylindrical pin guide portion 182 and cylindrical fixture 183 arranged coaxially one above the other. Here, cylindrical pin guide portion 182 is made of a soft material such as cloth, and cylindrical fixture 183 is made of a hard material such as resin.

[0062] One end of belt body 181 is fixed to cabin wall 10, and the other end is made of cloth or the like so that it can be folded back, and a ring-shaped member 181a that engages with engagement pin 150 is attached to the other end. The folded-back portion of belt body 181 holds engagement ring 162a attached to the tip of connection piece 162.

[0063] When such a belt member 180 is used in a ballast dropping structure, one end of the storage body 160 is held by the folded portion of the belt body 181, which is folded in half. One end of the belt body 181 is fixed to the wall of the cabin, and a ring-shaped member 181a attached to the other end of the belt body 181 is locked by the engagement pin 150 between the tubular pin guide portion 182 and the tubular fixture 183 (FIGS. 6A(a) and 6B(a)). This places the object to be dropped in a state of being stored in the storage body 160. At this time, the load on the engagement pin 150 is also reduced.

[0064] Furthermore, when the engaging pin 150 is pulled out from the tubular pin guide portion 182 and the tubular fixing device 183 by operating the wire, the ring-shaped member 181a attached to the other end of the belt main body 181 slides down from between the tubular pin guide portion 182 and the tubular fixing device 183, and the object to be dropped is dropped (Figure 6A(b), Figure 6B(b)).

[0065] Furthermore, the dropped object is not limited to ballast Ba, but may be a trail rope Tr. In this case, the trail rope Tr is wound and stored in the cylindrical bag body that is the storage body 160.

[0066] Figure 7 is a diagram for explaining the rope dropping structure for dropping the trail rope Tr by operating the operating device 100, where Figure 7(a) shows the storage body 160 holding the trail rope Tr, and Figure 7(b) shows the trail rope Tr in its dropped state.

[0067] The rope dropping structure replaces the ballast Ba in the ballast dropping structure with a trail rope Tr, and in the rope dropping structure, one end of the trail rope Tr is fixed to the wall of the cabin by a fixing piece 161, and the storage body 170 is a bag with a bottom, and the trail rope Tr is stored spirally wound in this bag with a bottom 170. The trail rope Tr is, for example, a rope made of nylon or hemp.

[0068] Here, the upper end of the bottomed bag body 170 is connected to a pin-mounted cylinder 151 fixed to the wall 10 of the cabin by a pin-engaging cylinder 152 and a connecting piece 172 .

[0069] Specifically, the bag body 170 is connected to the pin engagement cylinder 152 by a connecting piece 172, and the pin engagement cylinder 152 is held in the pin attachment cylinder 151 by an engagement pin 150. By pulling the engagement pin 150 out of the pin engagement cylinder 152 and the pin attachment cylinder 151, the pin engagement cylinder 152 is released from the pin attachment cylinder 151 fixed to the cabin wall 10, and the other end of the trail rope Tr stored in the bag body 170 is dropped together with the bag body 170.

[0070] Figure 8 is a diagram to explain the function of the trail rope Tr, where Figure 8(a) shows the trail rope Tr stored in the storage body 170, and Figure 8(b) shows the trail rope Tr being dropped together with the storage body 170 and slowed down due to friction with the ground surface.

[0071] The effects of dropping the trail rope Tr will be explained below.

[0072] Before the projectile lands, the trail rope Tr is lowered to the ground along with the bag, which provides the following effects:

[0073] When the weight of the trail rope Tr is transferred to the ground, the balloon's descent speed slows down.

[0074] If the balloon rises due to the influence of wind near the ground, the weight of the rope, which has separated from the ground as a result of this rise, will prevent the balloon from rising.

[0075] Depending on the strength of the wind, the trail rope Tr acts as an anchor, and as a result, the weight of the trail rope Tr and the pull along the ground slows the balloon's forward movement.

[0076] In other words, the flight speed is reduced from speed V1 to speed V2 by dropping the trail rope Tr.

[0077] The belt member described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B can also be used as the structure for dropping the trail rope Tr.

[0078] Thus, the operating device 100 of this embodiment 1 is an operating device for operating the dropped object storage body 160, which is provided outside the cabin 1a of the flying body 1 from inside the cabin 1a of the flying body 1, and the operating device 100 is equipped with an operating wire 130, which is inserted into the through hole 10a of the wall portion 10 of the cabin 1a, one end of which is connected to a handle 140 provided inside the cabin 1a, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the storage body 160 that stores the dropped object (ballast Ba).Therefore, an operating device can be obtained that allows a passenger inside the cabin of a flying body 1 equipped with a cabin 1a to easily operate dropped objects provided outside the cabin using the wire.
