Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an airborne vehicle that floats in the air and can be safely moved by human power in any direction.

BACKGROUND ART Currently, there are helicopters, balloons, etc. as vehicles that freely float and move in the air.

The radio-controlled balloon disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-97595 is operated by remote control using radio waves as a medium.

On the other hand, as a safety measure during flight, parachutes have traditionally been used in emergencies. For example, Tokko Akira
The parachute device for an airplane disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 44-12943 has an umbrella body folded and stored in the upper part of the airplane body. In the event of an emergency, the top cover can be opened and the umbrella body can be opened. Furthermore, this parachute device has an air bag attached to the periphery of the umbrella body. In an emergency, the air sac is supplied with compressed fluid. When an airplane lands on water, the air sac causes the umbrella to float on the water surface, acting as a substitute for a boat and as an indicator of the landing position.

Problems that the invention aims to solve Conventional floating vehicles have the following drawbacks.

Helicopters require powerful power, are not simple, and have the disadvantage of being expensive. Not easy to operate.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned radio-controlled balloon is remotely controlled using radio waves, if an obstacle or other radio waves enter between the balloon and the transmitter, a problem will arise in the freedom of movement.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned airplane parachute system,
There is a risk that the stored umbrella may not open.
Further, in the above-mentioned parachute device, only the umbrella body and the air bag float in the water when the airplane lands on water, and no means for floating the airplane body is provided. This air sac is useless if the plane lands on land.

Means for Solving the Problems The floating vehicle according to the present invention includes a frame, a foot-operated rotary pedal attached to the frame so as to be driven by human power, and a driving force from the foot-operated rotary pedal. a horizontal rotor blade attached to the frame so as to rotate and generate thrust in the vertical direction; a balloon attached to the frame and filled with a buoyant gas; and the frame so as to generate thrust in the horizontal direction. a vertical rotary wing attached to the frame; a parachute attached to the frame and with the balloon partially contained therein, the parachute always being open; and a parachute attached to the frame at a position below the position of the rotary pedal A floating vehicle with an attached air-filled float that is resilient and buoyant.

Function Combining the flexibility of a helicopter and the buoyancy of a balloon, it can be lifted into the air by human power and can move freely in the air. Furthermore, safety is increased by providing a parachute with a balloon partially inside and always open, and an air-filled float with elasticity and buoyancy on water.

Embodiment A foot-operated rotary pedal 10 is provided on the frame 7 adjacent to a handle 8 and a seat 9. A horizontal rotary blade 3 is provided on the upper part of the frame 7, which receives a conduction driving force from a rotary pedal 10 and generates lift in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a balloon 1 filled with a buoyant rare gas (hydrogen gas, helium gas, etc.) is provided above it.

A suppression rotor 4 that suppresses the rotation of the frame 7 due to the rotational force of the horizontal rotor 3, a vertical rotor 5 that generates thrust for horizontal movement, and a conduction converter 11 that converts normal rotation and reverse rotation of each rotor. It is provided in the frame 7. An air-filled float 12 having elasticity and floatability on water is provided at a position below a foot-operated pedal at the lower part of a frame 7.

Furthermore, a parachute 2 which is always open together with the balloon 1 is provided. Any conventional means can be used to keep the parachute 2 open at all times, but by arranging balloons as shown in the figure, it is very easy to keep the parachute 2 open at all times. If a piano wire or the like is attached to the lower edge of the parachute 2, the parachute can be opened more reliably.

The balloon 1 is filled with buoyant gas to the extent that the total weight of the frame 7 and the occupant is balanced with the buoyancy of the balloon 1. In this way, the entire frame 7, which is no longer able to move vertically and horizontally due to gravity, can be moved vertically and horizontally with a small amount of human power.

When a passenger pedals the rotary pedal 10 with his or her feet, the horizontal rotary blade 3 rotates due to the driving force, generating lift and causing the entire frame 7 to float.

By switching the conduction transducer 11 and reversing the rotation of the horizontal rotor 3, the entire frame 7 is lowered.

Further, the vertical rotary blade 5 rotates and generates thrust according to the setting of the conduction converter 11, and the vertical rotary blade 5 rotates forward or reversely.

The direction of travel can be determined by setting the rudder 6 in a desired direction using the handle 8. It is also possible to perform horizontal movement by tilting the horizontal rotor 3 due to the movement of the center of gravity of the occupant.

Further, if necessary, it is also possible to provide a power drive unit in addition to the aforementioned foot pedal. It goes without saying that a plurality of horizontal or vertical rotary blades may be used.

Effects of the invention: Even if the filling gas of the balloon 1 leaks due to an accident and the buoyancy is reduced, the open parachute 2 will still function.

Since an elastic float 12 is provided at the lower part of the frame 7, shock resistance and buoyancy on water are imparted when descending to land. The open parachute 2 and the air-filled float 12 ensure safety when floating in the air, landing, and landing on water. In particular, when landing on the water, the occupants are located above the float 12, which is particularly safe.

Since the entire frame 7 receives buoyancy from the balloon 1, it can be raised freely and safely in the air by human power.
It can descend, move forward, go backwards, and turn.

Since the parachute is always open, it can resurface immediately after landing, unlike a parachute that is only used in emergencies.
Can be used repeatedly and continuously.

Since there is no need to rely on radio, a large number of airborne vehicles can be easily maneuvered even when they are close to each other.
