Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a skydiving experience device, and provides a device that floats in airflow and is allowed to move in a horizontal plane. [Prior Art] Skydiving has become popular as a form of leisure in recent years, but it is dangerous, so it is necessary to practice thoroughly before actually diving. For this reason, skydiving training devices have been developed and implemented. The second type of skydiving training equipment is generally one that uses a fan to generate wind pressure from the bottom of the air passage that expands toward the top. [Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the conventional skydiving training device as described above, the hanging point for supporting the practitioner is constant;
As a result, they simply experienced the floating state, but were unable to experience swimming such as lateral gliding, which is necessary for actual diving, and were unable to practice advanced skydiving that was close to the actual situation. Ta.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and includes a hanging device that guides a hanging point in a horizontal plane at the top of an air passage that forms an airflow toward the top, and This is a skydiving experience device configured so that a position in a horizontal plane is controlled by a position control device.

The hanging tool of the present invention is characterized in that it is configured so that it can be moved in a horizontal plane by a practitioner's operation.

Specifically, it has a first rail that can be guided back and forth, and a second rail that is supported by a support in a state perpendicular to this first rail, and a hanging point is provided on this second rail. ing. A control device is provided so that the support and the hanging point can be moved by the operator's operation.

[For production]

In such a device, the practitioner can operate the position control device as necessary to move the suspension point in the horizontal plane in the left-right direction and front-back direction, and can move over a wide range such as sliding, and can perform high altitude movements such as swimming. You can practice.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the skydiving device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of the skydiving equipment M, and the skydiving equipment 11M includes an air passage l that generates airflow upward;
A fan 2 for blowing air into the air path 1 and a hanging device 4 having a hanging point 3 are provided in the air path 1. In addition, a safety net 5 is provided below the hanging tool 4.
Below that is a wind direction plate 6 for rectifying or changing the wind direction.
is provided. In addition, 7 is a video device for projecting a screen on the inner surface of the air channel 1 as appropriate, giving the practitioner a sense of realism. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the hanging tool 4 includes a first rail 8 supported across the air path 1, and a second rail 8 supported orthogonally to the first rail 8 by a support tool 9. The second rail 10 is moved along the first rail 8 by the motor 11 built into the support 9 and the wheels 12 mounted on the first rail 8 in the direction of arrow A. -It is now possible to move in the A direction. Furthermore, the second rail 10 is provided with a suspension point 3, which is supported by wheels l4 and is movable in the B-B direction by a motor 13. At this hanging point 3, there is a first wire 15 for suspending the practitioner C, and a second wire 16a for indicating the direction.
6b, and the second wires 16a, 16
One end of b is attached to tension detectors 17a and 17b,
The other end is designed to be held by the practitioner C's left and right hands.

Tension detector 17a. The motor 13 is activated by the signal from 17b.
The motor 11 rotates in a predetermined direction, and the hanging point 3 can be moved back and forth, left and right, and eventually moved in any direction within a plane. That is, the second rail 10 suspended by the support 9, the motor 11. 13, tension detector 17a. 17b constitutes a device that controls the position of the suspension point 3 in the front, rear, left and right directions. In this configuration, when the practitioner C tilts his or her body in the left-right direction, the tension detector 17a. A difference in tension occurs at 17b, and by operating the motor 11 in response to the signal, the suspension point 3 moves in the direction where the tension increases.

On the other hand, when the practitioner C changes his/her weight back and forth, the tension detector 17a. When the tension detected by 17b becomes larger than a predetermined value, the motor 13 is operated so that the hanging point 3 moves forward along the second rail 10, and when it becomes smaller, the motor 13 moves backward. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the hanging tool 18 is composed of a first arm l9 and a second arm 20,
The first arm 19 is attached to the side wall of the air passage 2l by a pin 22 so that it can rotate in the horizontal direction and can be held down, and the second arm 20 is attached to the tip of the first arm 19 by a pin 23 that allows it to be moved up and down. It is supported so as to be rotatable in the direction, and a hanging point 24 is provided at its tip. In this configuration, the second wires 25a. The position of the suspension point 24 can be controlled by detecting the tension of the suspension point 25b and controlling the horizontal rotation and elevation angle of the first arm 19 using a drive device (not shown). Note that the shape of the air passage is not limited to a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 1, but may be a gallery shape or the like.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment, in which a second rail 10a is provided in a corridor-type air passage 30, and this second rail 1
0a is provided, and a suspension point 3a is supported on the second rail 10a. A safety net 5a is stretched below the air passage 30, and a fan 2a is provided below the net 5a. Furthermore, projectors 31 for projection are provided on both sides of the air passage 30. By using the apparatus having the corridor-type air passage 30 in this way, many people can undergo training such as group descent training at the same time, and there are also advantages such as lateral movement can also be simulated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, the skydiving experience device according to the present invention is provided with a hanging device that guides a hanging point that moves in a horizontal plane at the top of an air passage that forms an airflow toward the top, and the hanging point is set in a horizontal plane. The structure is such that the position within is controlled by a position control device, and the following effects can be achieved.

The suspension point from which the practitioner is suspended can be moved an arbitrary distance in the horizontal plane in the front, rear, left, and right directions by the practitioner's own operation. Therefore, the simple mechanism has the effect of making it possible to practice high-level skydiving such as sliding and swimming.
