Description

  The present invention relates to a flight training apparatus for flying objects that are lifted by rotating blades.

  Conventionally, the operation of a flying object, such as a radio controlled helicopter (hereinafter referred to as an RC helicopter), which is lifted by a rotating wing has been complicated, and it has not been possible to control freely without training for a corresponding time. For this reason, when he / she started training for maneuvering, the RC helicopter unexpectedly operated and collided with the object, and the parts could be damaged by the impact of the collision with the object. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time until the RC helicopter can be freely operated because the RC helicopter cannot be operated during the repair period.

  In addition, some RC helicopters are equipped with fuel tanks and some are equipped with lithium ion polymer batteries as batteries. However, these fuel tanks and lithium ion polymer batteries are affected by the impact of collision with objects. There was also a risk of damage and explosion.

  For this reason, the structure which surrounds the circumference | surroundings of RC helicopter with the protective frame which protects RC helicopter, and protects from the impact of the collision to an object is known (for example, refer to cited reference 1). However, in this configuration, the mass of the protective frame is added to the RC helicopter, so that the motor of the rotor blades inevitably increases, canceling out the impact buffering effect of the collision by the protective frame, completely damaging the parts, etc. The above problem could not be solved.

  In addition, due to the increase in the weight of the protective frame body and the accompanying increase in the motor of the rotor blade, etc., the weight balance differs greatly from the absence of the protective frame body, and the inertial mass also increases. There was also a problem that the steering training could not be performed properly because the operation feeling was greatly different from the case without a body. This problem has a significant effect on the operation during takeoff, and if you take off with the sense of operation with the protective frame in place, the RC helicopter suddenly rises and collides with the ceiling and other parts. Sometimes it was damaged.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flying object maneuvering training apparatus that can appropriately perform a flying object maneuvering training while preventing a collision of a flying object with an object. There is to do.

  According to the present invention, the flying object maneuvering training apparatus includes a flying object that is lifted by a rotating wing, a holding member that rotatably holds the flying object in an arbitrary direction, and a holding member that subtracts the weight of the holding member. And a support member that can move following the movement of the flying object. And this support member has the collision prevention means which prevents the collision to the object of a flying body by controlling the movement.

Thereby, since it can operate by feeling only the weight of the flying object, it is possible to perform the flying training of the flying object without impairing the operational feeling. Further, the collision of the flying object with the object can be prevented by the presence of the collision preventing means.
For this reason, it is possible to provide a flying object maneuvering training apparatus that can appropriately perform a flying object maneuvering training while preventing a flying object from colliding with an object.

  Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the invention will be described based on examples.

[Configuration of Example]
The configuration of the flying object maneuvering training apparatus 1 (hereinafter referred to as the maneuvering training apparatus 1) of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
The flight training apparatus 1 performs flight training of the flying object 2. Here, the flying object 2 is a normal RC helicopter that can be stationary, rotated, etc. in the air using, for example, a 4-channel controller (hereinafter, the flying object is referred to as an RC helicopter 2).
The RC helicopter 2 is held by a holding member 3 so as to be rotatable in an arbitrary direction. The holding member 3 is supported by a support member 4 described in detail below.

The support member 4 includes a wire 5, a stopper 6, and a balance weight 7.
The wire 5 is hooked on two hooks 8 fixed to the ceiling or the like, and a holding member 3 that holds the RC helicopter 2 is connected to one end, and a balance weight 7 is connected to the other end. Here, the mass of the balance weight 7 is equal to the mass of the holding member 3. For this reason, the weight of the holding member 3 is subtracted, and the RC helicopter 2 moves while feeling the weight of only the RC helicopter 2 when rising and lowering. The support member 4 can move following the movement of the RC helicopter 2 such as raising and lowering.

Here, the stopper 6 is a specific example of a collision preventing unit that restricts the movement of the support member 4 and prevents the RC helicopter 2 from colliding with the floor (hereinafter referred to as the floor O) that is the object O. The operation will be described with reference to FIG.
The stopper 6 is made of a light and strong material such as carbon fiber and is fixed in the middle of the wire 5.
The wire 5 penetrates the lid 11a of the cylindrical body 11 with a lid fixed to a wall or the like and enters the cylindrical body 11 with the lid.
The lid 11a includes a slit 11b through which the wire 5 is inserted, and is urged toward the closing direction so gently that the lid 11a is opened by a slight pressing force toward the opening direction.

  First, when the RC helicopter 2 takes off, as shown in FIG. 2A, the stopper 6 is disposed on the closing direction side of the cylindrical body 11 with a lid. When the RC helicopter 2 is raised, the support member 4 moves following the movement of the flying object 2 as shown in FIG. 2B, and the stopper 6 opens the lid 11a against the urging force. Press in the direction. When the RC helicopter 2 is further raised, the support member 4 further moves following the movement of the RC helicopter 2 as shown in FIG. 2C, and the lid 11a is disengaged from the stopper 6. Closes in the closing direction by the biasing force.

  Here, the stopper 6 is formed larger than the slit 11b. Thereby, even if the RC helicopter 2 falls to the floor O side, the stopper 6 cannot pass through the slit 11b and restricts further movement of the support member 4 by contacting the lid 11a.

Next, the holding member 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The holding member 3 includes a first frame 3a, a second frame 3b, and a third frame 3c described below. These three frames are arranged around the RC helicopter 2 so as to surround the RC helicopter 2. It is arranged.
An RC helicopter 2 is fixed to the first frame 3a, and the second frame is centered on a diametrical first rotation axis (hereinafter referred to as the X axis) of the annular second frame 3b. It is pivotally supported by 3b.
The second frame 3b is the diameter direction of the semicircular third frame 3c, and the third frame is centered on a second rotation axis (hereinafter referred to as the Y axis) orthogonal to the X axis. The body 3c is pivotally supported.
The third frame 3c is rotatably supported by the wire 5 with a third rotation axis (hereinafter referred to as Z axis) orthogonal to the X axis and the Y axis at the center in the circumferential direction. ing.
The X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis have the center of gravity G of the RC helicopter 2 on each axis.

[Effects of Examples]
According to the steering training apparatus 1 of the embodiment, the RC helicopter 2 is supported while holding the RC helicopter 2 so that the RC helicopter 2 can freely rotate in an arbitrary direction, and the holding member 3 so as to subtract the weight of the holding member 3. And a support member 4 that can move following the movement of 2. Thereby, since operation can be performed while feeling only the weight of the RC helicopter 2, it is possible to perform the steering training of the RC helicopter 2 without impairing the operational feeling. Further, the presence of the stopper 6 included in the support member 4 makes it possible to prevent the RC helicopter 2 from colliding with the floor O by the stopper 6 coming into contact with the lid 11a and restricting the movement of the support member 4.

For this reason, it is possible to provide a maneuvering training apparatus 1 that can appropriately perform maneuvering training of the RC helicopter 2 while preventing the RC helicopter 2 from colliding with the floor O.
The first frame 3a, the second frame 3b, and the third frame 3c constituting the holding member 3 surround the RC helicopter 2 so as to protect the RC helicopter 2. The impact of the collision with the floor O of the RC helicopter 2 can be reduced even during the fall.

In addition, when the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis are orthogonal to each other, the symmetry is improved and the design of the holding member 3 is facilitated.
When the center of gravity G of the RC helicopter 2 is on the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis, the motion of the RC helicopter 2 is divided into a translational motion of the center of gravity G and a rotational motion around the center of gravity G. Can think. In other words, since the translational motion of the center of gravity G can be designed to be assigned to the support member 4 and the rotational motion around the center of gravity G is divided into the holding member 3, the maneuvering training apparatus 1 can be easily designed.
The first frame, the second frame, and the third frame are preferably made of a light and strong material such as carbon fiber so as to reduce the inertial mass so as not to impair the operation feeling.
