Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention was created for the purpose of using a Ceelostat for a variety of purposes.

More specifically, a polar axis that coincides with the polar axis of the sky is rotatably fixed to the undulation rod that controls changes in latitude, and the declination axis on which astronomical observation instruments are installed is orthogonal to the polar axis. It is removably installed, and the polar axis is equipped with a machine frame that rotates integrally with the polar axis.
The first mirror and the second wave of the ceirostat are attached to the machine frame, and the reflected light from the ceirostat is input, and the second wave reflected at the desired location is used as a seesaw movement using the substrate of the undulating rod as a fulcrum. The second wave is horizontal,
It is mounted on a shaft so that it can rotate vertically and move back and forth.

Also, as a method to determine the position of the polar axis, attach a square machine frame to the machine frame parallel to the axis of the polar axis, corresponding to the first mirror,
Prepare a first mask and a second mask that are shaped to fit through the square machine frame and first mirror, respectively, and make a through hole with the same diameter in the center of each mask, and make the first mirror into a square shape. The first mask and the second mask are placed parallel to the square machine frame and the first mirror, respectively, and the center line of the through hole of each mask is aligned with the optical axis of the sun. The position of the polar axis is determined by adjusting the elevation of the undulating rod so that the axis of the polar axis coincides with the polar axis of the sky.

B) Prior Art Most of the conventional Ceirostats are large in size and have complicated structures, so they cannot be used as learning tools for general learning, especially for children.

Furthermore, a separate astronomical telescope was required for astronomical observation, and furthermore, positioning the polar axis was extremely inconvenient. (Special Publication No. 5Q-33666, No. 50-3366
(See No. 8, No. 51-36628) The Ceirostat of the present invention can be used not only as a Ceirostat but also as an equatorial mount, and therefore a general-purpose Ceirostat as in the present invention does not exist.

C) Problems to be solved by the invention Conventional ceirostats are too large to be used for general learning purposes, and the second wave that receives the reflected light from the ceirostat cannot be adjusted in accordance with the solar altitude. In addition, there were other drawbacks such as extremely difficult positioning of the polar axis.

2) Means for solving the problems The present invention employs the following means to solve the problems of the prior art as described above.

In other words, the undulation rod that controls the change in latitude uses the board as a fulcrum and its vertical and horizontal arms are fixed at a required angle, and the board is pivoted to support legs set on the pedestal using a tensioning device so that it can be raised and lowered freely. A cylindrical polar axis that coincides with the polar axis of the celestial body is rotatably fixed at the end of the arm, and a declination axis is detachably attached to the polar axis so that the respective axes are perpendicular to each other. A machine frame parallel to the axis line and a machine frame perpendicular to the machine frame are combined on the polar axis, and a square machine frame is placed at both ends of the orthogonal machine frame parallel to the parallel machine frame. Installation: The base of the parallel machine frame is integrally and rotatably attached to the polar axis, and the first mirror is rotatably fixed to the machine frame on the perpendicular side by a rotating shaft, and the base of the machine frame on the parallel side is rotatably fixed to the machine frame on the perpendicular side. The second wave is rotatably fixed by the shaft, and the first and second waves are made to face each other at a required angle to form a ceilostat, and the reflected light from the ceirostat is incident and reflected at a desired location. This general-purpose searostat is characterized in that the second wave is rotatably fixed by a rotary shaft to a U-shaped machine frame which is supported movably back and forth on the horizontal arm of an undulating rod.

Furthermore, in order to position the polar axis of the Ceurostat, the first and second masks, each having a through hole in the center of the square machine frame and the first mirror, are covered, and the first mirror is covered with a square Located parallel to the machine frame, the undulation rod was finely adjusted so that the center lines of the through holes in the first and second masks coincided with the optical axis of the sun, and the polar axes were aligned with the celestial polar axis. It is something.

E) Effects Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it exhibits the following effects.

First, it can be used as an equatorial mount and as a seesawer.

Second, the seesostat can be configured compactly.

Thirdly, since the undulating rod that governs latitude changes is shaped so that it can see-saw with the board as a fulcrum, the third mirror that receives the reflected light from the seesostat is placed in the seesaw position in response to changes in latitude. It is placed in a position where it can always respond to two mirrors.

Fourth, since the square machine frame and first mirror of the Sealostuff are covered with a mask with a through hole, the polar axis can be adjusted by aligning the center line of the through hole of the mask with the solar axis. can be easily positioned.

The polar axis (P) of the body is rotatably fixed by a member, a bottomed hole (B3) is formed at the upper end of the polar axis (P), and a shaft rod (B4) is protruded from the lower end. A declination axis (R) is removably attached to the bottom hole (B3) with the end thereof in an angular relationship such that the axis of the declination axis (R) is perpendicular to the axis of the polar axis (P). Declination axis (R)
A simple astronomical telescope for learning or observation equipment such as a camera (
C) is installed, and a balance weight (W) is attached to the other end.

A long U-shaped machine frame (Sl) that opens forward is fixed to the shaft rod (B4) of the polar shaft (P) through the center of the base and is attached parallel to the axis.

A belt-shaped vertical machine frame (B2) is fixed at a position perpendicular to the axis of the polar axis (P) at the bifurcated tip of the parallel machine frame (Sl).

At both ends of the two machine frames (B2), there are machine frames (B3) that are square planes with circular inner sides, and the center lines of the circles are aligned, and the center of both ends of the machine frame is connected to the vertical machine frame (B2). ) is fixed.

That is, it is mounted parallel to the axis of the polar axis.

The machine frame constructed as described above rotates integrally with the rotation of the polar axis.

A circular first mirror (Ml) is rotatably fixed below the vertical machine frame (B2) by a rotating shaft (10) inserted through the machine frame, and furthermore, at the base of the parallel machine frame (Sl). A second mirror (M2) having the same diameter as the first mirror is rotatably fixed by a rotary shaft (11) inserted through a bifurcated rod of the machine frame near the rotary shaft to form a seesostat.

Third I (
M3) has the same mirror diameter as the Ciro stand mirror.

A support rod (20) attached to the long hole (A7) drilled at the tip of the horizontal arm (A5) so as to be movable back and forth is pivoted.
The support rod (20) has a front U-shaped machine frame (
21) is fixed to a shaft, and a third mirror is fixed to a rotating shaft (22) which is inserted into the U-shaped machine frame (21) so as to be vertically rotatable.

The general-purpose seerostat of the present invention is constructed as described above, and furthermore, as an adapter, the first mask (3
0) and a second mask (31) are prepared, each of which has a through hole (H) with a diameter of about 100 in the center, and a through hole (H) that is fitted into the first mask (30) and second mask (31). The joint raised edges (30L) and (31L) are molded.

Optical instruments that apply pressure to the above-mentioned general-purpose ceirostat include:
The above-mentioned simple astronomical telescope, camera, Fresnel lens used for heat utilization, etc. will be used, as well as experimental instruments for spectral characteristics, a telescope for observing sunspots, etc.

When using the above-mentioned general-purpose ceirostat, it is necessary to set the polar axis (P) to the celestial polar axis according to the latitude where this device is used.
) is set by loosening and adjusting the fastener (A3) on the board (A1).

When setting the declination axis (R) to the polar axis (P), you can observe and photograph the night sky using an astronomical observation device (C) such as a telescope or camera using the principle of a normal equatorial mount. .

As a ceilostat used for experiments on solar or lunar light or heat, the first mirror (Ml) is used to regulate the incident light reflection angle by the rotation axis according to the usage of the ceirostat, and at the same time the first mirror (Ml) is The angle of the third term (Gate 2) is also regulated according to (Ml), and the polar axis is rotated to track the sun or moon. Is it used for observing sunspots by directly entering sunlight?
Alternatively, the reflected light beam is received by the third term (M3) from the ceirostat and guided to the desired experimental equipment by the regulating angle of the mirror.

Since the third term (H3) is configured to be movable horizontally and vertically, the incident light beam can be guided to any position.

Furthermore, when the vertical rod of the undulating rod (A) exhibits elevation and depression angle movements due to changes in latitude, the third term (M3) is because the horizontal arm moves in elevation and depression angles in a see-saw movement with the base plate (A1) as a fulcrum. Even if the reflection angle of the reflected beam from the third term (i2) of the Ceirostat changes, the third term (M3) will not only move vertically and horizontally, but also move back and forth through the long hole drilled in the horizontal arm. Since it can be moved in any direction, it can reliably receive the light from the ceilostat.

In addition, when this device is used in a solar heat utilization device, it is possible to increase the heat collection effect by attaching a Fresnel lens to the rectangular machine frame (S3). It is also possible to concentrate solar heat around the appliance.

Although not shown in the drawings, when the polar axis is configured by an automatic drive mechanism, a worm and a worm wheel drive gear that are interlocked by a low-speed motor are installed, and
It is also possible to control the angles of the first and third mirrors of the Ceirostat in conjunction with each other using a link mechanism.

When using the above Ceirostat, it is necessary to align the axis of the polar axis with the celestial polar axis in order to perform diurnal movement. It is rotated by the rotating shaft (10) to Oo.

In this case, the first mirror (Ml) is parallel to the axis of the polar axis (P).

Next, attach the first mask (30) to the square machine frame (S3),
This fits and covers the raised edge (30L) and the machine frame, and the second mask (31) is attached to the raised edge (30L) on the first mirror (Ml).
1L) and cover it.

When the above preparations are completed, loosen the tightening tool (A2) on the base (A1) of the undulating rod (A), take one end of the horizontal arm (A4) of the undulating rod (A), and position the first mask (30) facing the sun. As shown in FIG. Finely adjust the undulating rod (A) with the horizontal arm (A4) so that it matches (H), and then adjust the through hole (H) of the first mask and the through hole (H) of the second mask.
) When () is located on the - line, move the base (AI) to the support leg (
2) By tightening and fixing with the tightening tool (A2), the polar axis (P) of the celostat aligns with the celestial polar axis, and the polar axis (P) rotates to perform diurnal movement. In this case, by changing the angle of the first mirror (Ml) of the ceilostat by 45 degrees with respect to the solar axis, the incident light from the sun is reflected to the second fi (M2), and the third term (M2) trinomial (M
3) and directs the sunlight to the desired experimental device through the third term (open).

In addition to the above positioning method, it is also possible to position the third term parallel to the axis of the polar axis and use an undulating rod so that the mirror is perpendicular to the solar axis. The polar axis can be easily positioned by adjusting l1tII.

In addition, when positioning the polar axis at night, the optical axis of the telescope mounted on the equatorial mount is positioned parallel to the axis of the polar axis, and the undulating rod is finely adjusted to bring the North Star into the field of view of the telescope. It is also possible to carry out the positioning of the polar axis by attaching a finder to the polar axis.

Also, prepare three second masks (31) and attach them to the first mirror (
Ml), the second mirror (A2), and the third mirror (A3) are used by covering each mirror, the incident reflected light flux is transmitted through the through hole (H
), it is extremely convenient for observing the reflected optical path of each mirror opening.

In addition, when using the present invention for solar heat utilization, several seesostats are placed around the heated object, the polar axis of the seesostat is set using the method described above, and the reflected light from the seesostat is directed to the third mirror. In this case, a Fresnel lens is attached to the square machine frame (S3) of each seesawer to increase the heat collection effect. It is.

g) Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is constructed as described above, firstly, Ceirostasoto can be used for a variety of purposes.

Second, it can be used as an equatorial mount by easily attaching an astronomical telescope and camera.

Thirdly, since the machine frame is attached to the polar axis and the first and second mirrors are combined with this, the seesostat can be made compact.

Fourth, the undulating rod has its vertical arm and horizontal arm attached at an angle to the board, and can be operated in a see-saw motion using the board as a fulcrum, so the third mirror that receives the reflected light from the seesostat is Light input can be adjusted reliably.

Furthermore, since the third mirror is movable back and forth with respect to the horizontal arm, its action can be more reliably regulated.

Fifth, since the square machine frame and the first mirror of the Searostand are combined so that a mask with a through hole in the center can be covered, the sun and the through holes of each mask are undulated so that they are on a line. Polar axis positioning can be easily performed by making fine adjustments using the rod.

This is a useful invention that exhibits excellent effects such as.
