Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and system that fixes a folding fan in an open position and swings it in time with music, rhythm, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an assembled display stand for folding fans, made of bamboo, on which colored paper or panels can be placed. Conventional display stands or displays for folding fans had to be tailored to the size and shape of the fan. Moreover, display stands for large dancing fans are very large, and the display stand makes it difficult to secure the ribs of the fan, and the fixing parts block the view of the ribs. When displaying a medium-sized fan, there are many ribs, and the fan opens more than 160 degrees, so there is no product that can be properly fixed and displayed beautifully. Display stands for small fans can only be used for small fans, and the fixing parts also block the view of the ribs. Basically, fans with loose joints cannot be displayed. Large, medium, and small fans cannot be displayed on one display stand. It can only be used as a display stand for folding fans, and takes up storage space when not in use. This product was invented to solve these problems. It is made of bamboo and consists of four parts. It is easy to assemble, and is basically assembled into three shapes for use. This product can display many different types of fans, large, medium and small, without damaging the appearance of the frame. It can also be used as a display stand for colored paper and panels. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, and takes up little space when stored. Traditionally, fans could only be displayed symmetrically, but with this product, they can be displayed tilted to the left or right. Because it is made of bamboo, it does not look out of place with the fan frame, and you can enjoy the change in color over many years of use.

[0014] Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the shape of a folding fan holder 20. As shown in FIG. The folding fan holder 20 comprises a fixed base 21 made of a rectangular metal plate, arc-shaped flexible arms 22, 23 extending from two opposing edges of the fixed base 21, and contact portions 26, 27 connected to the other ends of the flexible arms 22, 23 opposite the fixed base and coming into contact with the folding fan. The fixed base 21, the flexible arms 22, 23, and the contact parts 26, 27 can be integrally constructed by processing a metal plate or paper (especially flexible paper), or by plastic molding, silicone rubber molding, etc. The flexible arms 22, 23 can bend and have sufficient restoring force, so that the folding fan 10 can be sandwiched between the contact parts 26 and 27. The fan 10 is shown in the upper part of Figure 1 in a closed state. When fan 10 is closed, ribs 11 and 12 are visible on the outside, and multiple ribs (e.g. 28) are sandwiched between ribs 11 and 12. The two ribs and multiple ribs have holes at the position of main part 15, through which a rod that serves as the axis passes, allowing the fan to be opened and closed. At the position of main part 15, the main part of the fan has a protrusion that holds the ribs and the ribs so that they do not come apart. The two open other ends of the flexible arms 22, 23 are arranged to face each other. At the facing positions are grip parts 24, 25 (contact parts 26, 27) for gripping the parts including the main part 15 of the ribs 11, 12 of the fan. The "grip part" and the "contact part" are the same member, but because claims 1 and 3 are written independently, they are given different names. The open ends of the arc-shaped flexible arms 22, 23, which are not connected to the fixed base 21, can also be described as having grip portions 24, 25 (or contact portions 26, 27) that are in a plane perpendicular to the bending direction of the flexibility (the ability to bend) and that grip the ribs that form the outside of the fan when closing or opening the fan. The grip parts 24, 25 (contact parts 26, 27) can be provided to protect a member that can rotate in the same direction as the rotation axis of the fan base 15 according to the movement of the ribs in response to opening and closing the folding fan 10. The part of the folding fan including the base 15 is grasped by the two grip parts whether the folding fan 10 is closed or open. The folding fan can be protected from damage by attaching cushioning materials 28, 29, 30, 31 (e.g., felt cloth) to the inside of the grip portions 24, 25 (contact portions 26, 27). It is preferable that the cushioning materials have recesses in the places where they come into contact with the main components of the folding fan. By providing recesses corresponding to the protrusions of the main components, the folding fan 10 can be held stably. In addition to clamping the ribs of the fan between grip parts 24, 25 (or contact parts 26, 27), the fan is also supported by the bottom end of the fan hitting fixed base 21. A more stable holder can be achieved by supporting at three points rather than two, and at four points rather than three. It is also desirable to provide cushioning material on the upper part of fixed base 21.

[0016] 2 is a perspective view illustrating an outline of a folding fan opening and closing device. The folding fan opening and closing device is a device for opening a folding fan in a closed state or closing a folding fan in an open state. With the fan closed, the rib-fitting magnets 35, 36 are fitted into the fan ribs at a position slightly away from the main part 15. The rib-fitting magnets 35, 36 are made of plastic or the like and are components that can be snapped into the ribs of the fan, incorporating permanent magnets into the components. The multiple sets of electromagnetic coils 40, 41 are combinations of multiple sets of electromagnetic coils arranged so that a strong electromagnetic field is generated along the path drawn by the permanent magnets incorporated in the rib-mounted magnets 35, 36 when the folding fan is opened or closed. Control circuits 42, 43 control the type and order of current flow to these coils. Power supply circuits 46, 47 are circuits that supply power to the control circuits 42, 43. Operating units 44, 45 are circuits that provide switches that operate the control circuits 42, 43. By appropriately controlling the order in which current is passed through the electromagnetic coils of the sets 40, 41 by the action of the control circuits 42, 43, the rib-fitted magnets 35, 36 can be moved one after another to open the fan. It is also possible to close the fan by performing the reverse operation. The multiple sets of electromagnetic coils 40, 41 can be attached to the grip parts 24, 25 of the folding fan holder 20. They may be supported by a support member extending from the fixed part 21. To use the electromagnetic force effectively, it is desirable to place the multiple sets of electromagnetic coils 40, 41 close to the rib-fitted magnets 35, 36, respectively. When the fan is attached to the fan holder 20 with the rib-fitted magnets 35, 36 attached to the fan, the multiple sets 40, 41 of electromagnetic coils can be brought close to the rib-fitted magnets 35, 36.

[0017] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the outline of a fan swinging device. FIG. 3(a) is an example of swinging a fan in a small direction using a solar motor. FIG. 3(b) is an example of swinging a fan in a large direction using a battery-powered rotary motor. FIG. 3(c) is an example of swinging a fan in various directions using a two-axis motor. FIG. 3(d) is an example of swinging a fan using a spiral spring or leaf spring and a slightly separated power source using a string and pulley. In Figure 3(a), a motor that can also be powered by solar cells is used. This motor is not a rotary motor, but works on the principle of swinging a pendulum using a coil that generates an electromagnetic field and a permanent magnet. The inventors have actually succeeded in swinging a folding fan using a solar battery. Figure 3(b) shows an example of swinging a folding fan using a motor powered by a dry cell battery and a gear that converts the rotational power into a pendulum motion. In this example, the folding fan can be swung powerfully, so it is possible to create a breeze to cool down. Figure 3(c) shows the use of a two-axis motor to achieve three movements - horizontal, elevation, and opening and closing of the fan - in cases where the aim is to reproduce the fan movements of a Kabuki actor or a Japanese dancer. FIG. 3(d) shows an embodiment of a rocking device applicable to the embodiment of FIG. 4 that allows movement forward, backward, left and right. A seesaw board 51 is placed near the end (front) of the stage 50, which is made of a hollow rectangular pillar, via a support 52, and the fan holder 20 is fixed on top of it. A spring 53 (a helical spring or a leaf spring) is provided at the rear part of the seesaw board 51. A pulley 55 is provided at the front of the stage 50. A string 54 is connected to the fan holder 20 and passed rearward through the hollow part of the stage 50 along with the pulley 55. When the string 54 is pulled from behind, the fan tilts forward. When the string 54 is released, the action (restoring force) of the spring 53 causes the fan to tilt backward. Therefore, the fan can be caused to rock by pulling or releasing the string 54.

[0018] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of controlling not only rocking but also forward / backward and left / right movement in space. The board 60 is set up vertically. A horizontal groove 65 is provided in the middle of the board 60 to allow the stage 50 to move horizontally. A horizontal stepping motor for moving the stage 50 horizontally and rubber wheels for smooth movement are provided on the back side of the board 60. A forward / backward stepping motor 62 for moving the stage 50 forward / backward (the direction in which the stage 50 extends). As explained in FIG. 3(d), a string tensioning stepping motor 63 for pulling the tensioning string 54 for swinging the folding fan is also provided. A motor control unit 64 that operates with a computer program to control these three stepping motors, a program rewriting unit 66 that rewrites the computer program run by the motor control unit 64, a communication unit 67 for rewriting the computer program, and an operation timing synchronization unit 68 for synchronizing the timing of the folding fan's operation with other devices are provided. This makes it possible to not only swing the folding fan, but also move it forward / backward and left / right. The expression "rewrite the computer program" means that the motor control unit 64 has several programs stored in advance when shipped from the factory, and one of these programs can be run by turning on a switch on the housing. Therefore, even if the program is not rewritten by communication or the like, it is possible to operate the fan rocking device. The horizontal grooves 65 may be curved slits instead of straight ones, or may be slits with circular or elliptical tracks.

[0019] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an overview of a fan swinging system that communicates with a server via the Internet (shown as an oval slightly to the right of the center). The smartphone 1 is a computer that a user uses to play music, play music files, create a program that causes a fan to sway in time with the music, select music, select a fan swaying program, run them, etc. A tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc. can also be used instead of a smartphone. The fan rocking device 70 is a fan rocking device that can independently rock, move back and forth, and move left and right as shown in FIG. 4, and therefore can also combine them. Curved and circular motions are also possible by combining the forward and backward motions and the left and right motions. These three motions are controlled by computer. A computer program for this purpose is transmitted from the smartphone 1, and the fan can be rocked, moved back and forth, and moved left and right by executing the computer program. The fan rocking device 70 is configured to be able to communicate with the smartphone 1. For example, by designing the fan rocking device 70 as a Bluetooth (registered trademark) device, communication with the smartphone 1 can be made possible. The fan rocking program management server 100 can be made available to users by registering as a member, and many programs for moving the fan rocking device 70 are stored in this server. For example, programs are stored according to differences in musical beats, such as 3 beats or 4 beats, and speed (e.g., 88 quarter notes per minute), and the user can select from them. By downloading this program and installing it in the fan rocking device 70, the user can move the fan rocking device to the music of their choice. The music analysis server 200 is a server for analyzing music selected by a user to obtain beats and speed. When a user wants to swing a fan in time with the music, the music selected by the user is first processed by the music analysis server to obtain beats and speed, and an appropriate fan swinging program can be selected based on the beats and speed. Since the beat and speed may change from the beginning to the end of a song, by performing analysis by the music analysis server 200 over the entire song, it is possible to set minute fan movements in time with the music. The music analysis server 200 may extract data for the fan swinging program by analyzing not only audio data but also videos taken of a user (a dancer, performer, etc.) dancing or performing choreography while listening to the music. In addition to the user's dance, analysis may be performed based on information on the user's mouse movements or information written with an electronic pen. The fan swinging program creation server 300 is a server computer that creates a program for fan movement that matches the music based on the results of the analysis by the music analysis server 200. The program includes information on the timing of the movement (including information for synchronizing with the music), and information on whether the movement is swinging, forward and backward movement, left and right movement, or a combination of these, as well as the magnitude and duration of the movement. A user can send a request for a program, and the program can be created based on that request. For example, a user can request that the ratio of swinging, forward and backward movement, left and right movement, and their combination be 5:4; 1:2. The music information server 400 is a server computer that has information on where on the Internet the user's desired music (audio data only or with video) is located (IP address, URL, etc.), and facilitates the user's search. The music information server 400 itself may have music audio files and video files. When the user rocks a fan to music, the music file is played in time with the movement of the fan rocking device according to the program.

[0020] 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the server computer. As mentioned above, the fan rocking device 70 can be operated by a default program (sample program, demonstration program) that is installed beforehand at the time of shipment from the factory. When you want to connect to the server and replace it with a different program to operate it, it is useful to connect to the server and communicate with it. The fan rocking program management server 100 comprises a membership information management device 110 which manages membership information and allows access by a registered user, such as by allowing the user to download a fan rocking program, a membership information database device 160 which links membership information with other information and manages it to make it accessible, a program management device 120 which manages fan rocking programs that have already been completed, a fan rocking program storage database device 170 which stores fan rocking programs, and a communication device 130 which realizes communication with other servers, such as a music analysis server 200, a fan rocking program creation server 300 and a music information server 400. The music analysis server 200 includes a music analysis device 210 that acquires information such as the beat and speed of music, an audio analysis device 220 that analyzes audio such as the user's voice, a video analysis device 230 that analyzes videos of the user's choreography or videos of dancers demonstrating to acquire information on fan movement, a communication device 240 that communicates with other servers, and an analysis result database device 260 that links the analysis results to other information and stores them. The fan rocking program creation server 300 comprises an analysis result receiving device 310 that receives the analysis results from the music analysis server, a user request receiving device 320 that receives requests for the fan rocking program from users, a program creation device 330 that creates a program based on the analysis results and the user requests, a communication device 340 that communicates with other servers, and a work result storage database device 360 ​​that stores the work results. The music information server 400 comprises a music information inquiry response device 410 which responds to music information inquiries from users, a file transmission device 420, a file reception device 430, a music information database device 460, a music file database device 470, and a moving image file database device 480. Although four servers are described and explained here, this is for the convenience of explaining the functions. In reality, the number of server computers can be adjusted by integrating or distributing some functions. The speakers that allow the user to actually listen to the music may be any of the following: smartphone speakers, computer speakers, audio equipment speakers, speakers of other digital devices, etc. They may also be used in conjunction with each other as necessary.

[0021] Hereinafter, how the system according to the present invention functions and acts will be described with reference to Figures 7, 8, and 9. Here, the folding fan rocking device 70 is provided as a Bluetooth (registered trademark) device for the smartphone (or tablet computer, notebook computer) 1, and the two are treated as already being connected. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an overview of program rewriting. The term "program rewriting" refers to the procedure of rewriting the program to a program that matches the user's preferred movements and music, assuming that the fan rocking device 70 already has a default program (sample program, demonstration program) when it is shipped from the factory and that the program operates independently of music when the device is switched on. A user accesses the fan rocking program management server using his / her own smartphone. At this time, for example, a sticker with a QR code (registered trademark) printed on it can be attached to the housing of the fan rocking device, and the smartphone can read the sticker to access the fan rocking program management server 100. When the user accesses the server to log in, the fan rocking program management server 100 judges whether the user is a legitimate user using, for example, an ID and a password, and executes an authorization procedure. A user who is authorized to be a legitimate user searches the program storage database device 170 of the fan rocking program management server 100 for a fan rocking program that can be used with the fan rocking device 70 that the user uses. The programs stored in the program storage database device 170 are categorized by beat, speed, motion pattern, etc., and are searchable. When a fan rocking program that meets the user's desire is found, the user makes a download request, and the fan rocking program management server 100 accordingly transmits the fan rocking program to the user's smartphone, and the user receives it on the smartphone. The user then transfers the fan rocking program to the fan rocking device, and the fan rocking device 70 downloads and installs the fan rocking program. When the user wants to rock the fan in time with the music being played, he or she sends a synchronization signal to the fan rocking device and then plays music on the smartphone (tablet computer, laptop computer). The fan rocking device then executes the fan rocking program and rocks the fan (moving back and forth, left and right, or a combination thereof). When a stop signal is sent from the smartphone, the fan rocking device stops the rocking (back and forth movement, left and right movement, or a combination thereof).

[0022] 8 is a sequence diagram for creating a new program. This is a sequence diagram for creating a new fan rocking program when the fan rocking program that the user wants to select cannot be found by searching program storage database device 170 of fan rocking program management server 100. The user requests the fan rocking program creation server 300 to create a program, and notifies the server 300 of desired conditions for rough design, such as desired conditions, speed, beat, and movement pattern. When the server 300 receives the request, it creates a fan rocking program to meet the user's desires, and transmits the completed program to the server 100. The server 100 stores the newly created program in the program storage database device 170, and notifies the user that the program is complete. At this time, the user can select whether the program is available only to the user, or to other users. There is a common standard called MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) for transferring and sharing performance data of electronic musical instruments between devices. The fan rocking program according to the present invention can be created according to MIDI, or as an extension of MIDI. This makes it possible to reduce the data size of the program. The procedure after the user acquires this program and transfers it to the fan rocking device is the same as that shown in FIG.

[0023] FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram for performing music analysis when creating a program. When a user wishes to rock a folding fan in time with music being played, the user not only requests the folding fan rocking program creation server 300 to create a program, but also adds and sends information about the music to be used. Then, the fan rocking program creation server 300 sends music information (information about where the music file is located) to the music analysis server 200 and requests a music analysis. The music analysis server 200 requests music information from the music information server 400 based on the music information received from the user, acquires music files, audio files, video files, etc. from the music information server 400, and performs music analysis. Then, it passes the analysis results to the fan rocking program creation server 300. Based on the analysis results, the fan rocking program creation server 300 creates a fan rocking program. Here, some music information servers 400 provide music files free of charge, while others provide music files for a fee. Some servers allow files to be downloaded, while others stream the files. The music analysis server 200 can download music files from the music information server 400 available to the user on behalf of the user, or receive them by streaming, and in either case, it is desirable to analyze the music and acquire changes in speed and beat in relation to the passage of time, and use these as the analysis results. The processing after the fan swinging program creation server 300 completes the program is the same as that shown in FIG.

[0024] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the folding fan holder. The fan can be supported at several points or surfaces within the holder. In the fan holders depicted on the right side of Figure 10(a), the right side of Figure 10(b), and Figure 10(c), the bottom end of the fan contacts the fixed base via a cushion, and the fan is supported at three points by the two contact points and the fixed base. In the fan holders depicted on the left side of Figure 10(a), the left side of Figure 10(b), and Figure 10(d), the bottom end of the fan is floating, but the grip part that grips the ribs of the fan is pinned to the contact points of the fan holder so that it can move as the fan is opened and closed. The fulcrum (fulcrum surface) may be slightly different when the fan is closed and open. -By adding cushioning material, the fan will not be damaged and the hold can be adjusted flexibly. The surface of the holder where the grip is attached should ideally be a vertical flat surface. In the photo it is attached to a curved surface, so the grip attachment is not stable. There is also a vertical flat contact area at the top of the white holder, so it would be better to attach a grip there. Alternatively, you could attach the grip to the center of the holder's curve, at its most bulging point, but this would require longer mounting hardware. It is better to avoid the bulging part of the key as shown in the picture, or to make a depression (groove) in the key using cushioning material to suppress the bulging part of the key. When holding the left and right ribs, the method of holding (grip, etc.) is not necessarily symmetrical, and the lid can be opened and closed. When the fan is closed, always hold it by the "contact part." However, when the fan is open, the "contact part" touches the ribs until it is partway open, but once it is fully opened (after it has passed the end of the holder), the "contact part" may be separated from (not in contact with) the ribs, as shown in Figure 10(c). In other words, in reality, the "contact part" is not necessarily always in contact with the fan. In the case of Figure 10(c), the "contact part" is separated from the ribs, and one point in the "arcuate flexible arm" touches and supports the pivot point. Even in this case, if the pivot point is considered to be part of the fan, it can be said that the arcuate flexible arm supports the fan. Which part of the holder comes into contact with the fan (and supports the fan) will change depending on the combination of the fan and holder, their size, whether or not they have cushioning, the thickness of the cushioning, the angle of the fan, etc. For example, depending on how the cushioning is attached to the "contact part," the "contact part" may always grip the ribs. <About cushioning material> It is useful to attach cushioning material to the part of the holder where the fan comes into contact, in order to protect the fan and to adjust its size within the holder. It may be helpful to provide cushioning material to the contact portions 26 and 27, the arc-shaped flexible arm portions 22 and 23, and the inside of the fixed base 21, i.e., the entire inside of the fan holder, if necessary. Although cushioning materials 28, 29, 30, and 31 are shown in the figure, cushioning materials may also be attached to recessed portions 32 and 33, fixed base 21, and the inside of arc-shaped flexible arms 22 and 23 as necessary. In other words, it is possible that cushioning material will be applied to the entire inside of the holder. As mentioned above, cushions may be attached to the contact parts, grip parts and fixed base inside the fan holder, and although it is possible to attach cushions to the entirety of the holder, cushions may also be attached to only certain parts of the holder. <About the recessed parts> As shown in Figures 10(a), (b), and (c), the fan pivot also moves within the arc-shaped flexible arms 22 and 23, so in addition to the recesses 32 and 33, the arc-shaped flexible arms 22 and 23 also need to have recesses in the areas where the fan pivot moves. The recesses can be simple linear cuts. They only need to function as guide grooves for the fan pivot to move. The recessed portion 32 in FIG. 1 may also extend slightly downward to follow the curve of the arm.

[0025] 2 shows an example of a folding fan opening and closing device that uses multiple sets of electromagnetic coils, but another embodiment using a stepping motor is also possible. A power transmission mechanism is provided that transmits the power of the stepping motor to the grip parts 24, 25 so that the rotation angle of the folding fan can be controlled, and one or two stepping motors are placed inside the folding fan holder 20 or on the contact part on the outside to link the rotation of the stepping motor with the rotation of the grip part. The stepping motor is controlled by a control circuit to rotate the grip part, thereby opening and closing the folding fan. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The present invention can be used in the fields of manufacturing practical home appliances such as rhythmic breeze blowers and breeze generators, decorating folding fans, decorating folding fans for sale, and displaying folding fans for customers' own hobbies. [Explanation of symbols]
