[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an automatic dried fish management device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there is a technology disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 105493/1983 as an automatic dried fish management device that detects precipitation and automatically moves dried fish to a place out of the rain.

This device consists of an electric circuit that detects precipitation and automatically controls the motor, and is configured so that the drying rod moves along a rail arm that is installed so as to extend outdoors from under the eaves.

Furthermore, the applicant of the present invention also previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 62-51131.
No. (filed on March 5, 1988). The device consists of a guide rail that is fixed from under the eaves to the front of the eaves, between a rain-protected area and a rain-exposed area, and is arranged so that it can move forward and backward along the rail. a running body equipped with a latching means for hanging; a sensor attached to the running body or the rail and generating a signal current when water is detected; and a sensor disposed on either the running body or the rail, In order to stop the running body at that position when the running body is located near the tip of the rail on the side exposed to rain, the permanent magnet is built-in to attract a rod fixed to one of the rail or the running body, and the above-mentioned a latching solenoid having an electromagnetic coil that is energized in a direction to cancel the magnetic force of the permanent magnet on the rod when the sensor detects water; a battery for power supply disposed on the traveling body or the rail; a switch mechanism that closes a circuit between the latching solenoid and the battery when the traveling body stops at a predetermined position on the rail;
The device has a biasing means that constantly urges the running body along the rail toward a side that is not exposed to rain, and when a sensor detects precipitation, the running body is moved to a side that is not exposed to rain so that the dried fish gets wet. This is to prevent

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional dried fish automatic management device has the following problems.

The former uses a motor as the power source to move the fishing rod, which increases the size of the equipment. In addition,
Since commercial power is used, wiring work and even rust prevention work are required. Furthermore, a motor deceleration mechanism and a control circuit are also required, resulting in a complicated mechanism that is costly.

On the other hand, in the latter case, as shown in FIG.
If the device is locked at a stop position at the tip of the rail 102, for example, if the device is set up on a balcony 104, the dried food 108 may come into contact with the handrail 106, resulting in dirty laundry. In addition, the dried fish 108 may come into contact with the wall 110 or the window frame when the traveling body 100 moves backward, so to solve this problem, the length of the rail 102 is lengthened or cut to shorten it. did. However, it is troublesome to change the length of the rail 102, and it is inefficient since the amount of change in the length of the rail 102 is small, and the length needs to be adjusted again when relocating. There is a problem with becoming.

Accordingly, the present invention is characterized by providing an automatic drying product management device that has a simple structure and low cost, and is further capable of adjusting the position for drying the dried fish.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, a rail is arranged so that one end is located in a place where it is not exposed to rain and the other end is located in a place where it is exposed to sunlight, a running body that is movable along the rail, and a structure that is configured to be able to hang dried fish. a latching means that is attached to the running body and is slidable in the moving direction of the running body along a guide portion provided on the running body; and a latching means that constantly biases the running body toward one end of the rail. a biasing means, a sensor provided on the running body and generating a signal when rain is detected, a rod made of a magnetic material fixed to the other end of the rail, and a rod fixed to the running body, When the running body is located at a predetermined position on the other end side of the rail, the rod is attracted to the rod by its own magnetic force against the biasing force of the urging means, and the running body is stopped at the position. A magnet and the permanent magnet are located in the center hole, and when the sensor detects rain, it generates a magnetic force in a direction that cancels the magnetic force of the permanent magnet, releases the rod from the permanent magnet, and moves the rod toward the center hole. The vehicle is characterized by comprising an electromagnetic coil for releasing stoppage at a predetermined position, and a battery disposed on the traveling body for supplying power to the electromagnetic coil.

(effect) The effect will be explained.

When the sensor detects rain, the electromagnetic coil cancels the magnetic force of the permanent magnet, causing the rod to disengage from the permanent magnet. The traveling body released from the stopped state is moved along the rail to one end side where it is not exposed to rain by the urging means. Moreover, since the position of the locking means relative to the traveling body can be slid in the moving direction of the traveling body, the position of the dried fish can be adjusted.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the configuration will be explained.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a rail, and a rear end cover 12 is attached to the rear end of the rail, and is fixed at an appropriate location under the eave 14. The lower surface of the rail 10 is open, and the lower edge 16 is bent inward to guide side rollers 26 of a traveling body 22, which will be described later.

Inner protrusions 18 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the rail 10.
(one of which is not shown) is provided in a protruding manner to guide upper rollers 24, 24 of the traveling body 22, which will also be described later. A tip cover 20 is attached to the tip of the rail 10.

22 is a running body, and an upper roller 2 is mounted on the upper surface.
4 and 24 are rotatably attached to the shaft, 2 on each side, 4 in total (3 of them are not shown)
A side roller 26 is rotatably attached to the shaft.

A guide groove 28, which is an example of a guide part, is formed on the lower surface of the traveling body 22, and the upper end edge of a rod hanging part 30, which is a hanging means for hanging a hanging rod or a hanger, is engaged with the guide groove 28, which is an example of a guide part. is slidable in the moving direction of the traveling body 22 (horizontal direction in FIG. 1). FIG. 2 shows how the traveling body 22 and the rod hook 30 are engaged.

Both lower end edges of the traveling body 22 are bent inward. On the other hand, the upper end edge of the rod hanging part 30 is formed into a T-shaped cross section, and the vertical part of the T-shape is inserted into the guide groove 28 at the lower end edge of the traveling body 22 and is hooked thereon.

Since the above-mentioned rod hook 30 is movable within the guide groove 28 as shown in FIG. 1, it can be positioned as desired. Note that the position of the rod hook 30 is in the guide groove 2.
It is preferable to fix it by an appropriate method such as bolting or assembling a stopper so that it does not move within 8.

A sensor 32 is provided at the tip of the traveling body 22 so that its detection surface is exposed upward.

A battery 34 serves as a power source for an electromagnetic coil, which will be described later, and is housed inside the traveling body 22.

36 is a circuit board configured with an electric circuit;
A circuit is provided to amplify a signal current when the sensor 32 detects water and supply the current to an electromagnetic coil 44, which will be described later.

38 is a switch piece constituting a switch mechanism, and is fixed to the tip cover 20 side. The switch piece 38 also has a micro switch 40 fixed to the traveling body 22 side to constitute a switch mechanism.
It is activated when the traveling body 22 is stopped at a predetermined position at the tip of the rail 10. Micro switch 4
0 is in operation, that is, in the ON state, the circuit between the battery 34 and the electromagnetic coil 44, which will be described later, is closed and is in a standby state. However, while the sensor 32 does not detect water, the electromagnetic coil 44, which will be described later, is not energized due to the circuit configuration built into the circuit board 36.

42 is a latching solenoid, and the running body 22
A permanent magnet 46 having sufficient magnetic force is disposed in the center hole of the electromagnetic coil 44,
A rod 48 protruding from the inside of the tip cover 20 and made of a magnetic material can be drawn into the center hole of the electromagnetic coil 44. The electromagnetic coil 44 has a center hole opening on the front surface of the traveling body 22, and the rod 48 can move in and out as the traveling body 22 moves.
The electromagnetic coil 44 is designed to generate magnetic flux in a direction that cancels the magnetic force of a permanent magnet 46 disposed in the center hole when DC current is applied in a predetermined direction from the battery 34. The latching solenoid 42 and rod 48 allow the traveling body 22 to be stopped at a predetermined position at the tip of the rail 10 when the sensor 32 does not detect rain.

Reference numeral 50 denotes a winding section using a spiral spring as a biasing means, and is fixed to the rear end of the rail 10.

The winding unit 50 is connected to a hook 5 provided on the traveling body 22.
2 is connected with a string 54, and the running body 22
is always biased backwards. Winding section 5 at this time
The magnetic force of the permanent magnet 46 that attracts the rod 48 is set to be larger than the biasing force of the spiral spring 0. As for the winding part 50, as shown in FIG.
One end 62 is hooked to and wound into a spiral shape,
The other end 64 projects inside the center hole 66 of the casing 58 . The end of the string 54 connected to the running body 22 is fixed to a spool 60, and can be wound around the outer peripheral surface of the spool 60. A shaft 70 is vertically provided on the inner surface of the cap 68 of the casing 58. The shaft 70 can be inserted into the center hole 66 of the casing 58, and has a notch 72 carved on its outer periphery. It can be hung on. Furthermore, teeth 74 which also serve as anti-slip teeth are uniformly carved on the outer peripheral surface of the cap 68 over the entire circumference. Therefore, when the cap 68 is fitted and rotated in a predetermined direction about the shaft 70, the spiral spring 56 is squeezed from the other end 64 side, since one end is fixed to the spool 60. In this way, the urging force of the spiral spring 56 is adjusted. After that, when you release your hand from the cap 68, the spiral spring 56 becomes loose again, so the casing 58
A stopper 76 provided on the side prevents the cap 68 from rotating. This stopper 76
is rotatable about a shaft 78 in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the paper in the drawing, and teeth 80 of the same pitch as the teeth 74 on the outer periphery of the cap 68 are carved at the tip. Engage with cap 68
It prevents the rotation of. Therefore, even if the biasing force of the spiral spring 56 changes due to aging etc.
By rotating the cap 68, the biasing force of the spiral spring 56 can be restored to its previous magnitude.

Note that a cushion material 82 is provided on the right side of the casing 58, and the winding portion 50 is connected to the traveling body 22.
It absorbs the impact caused by the collision between the running body 22 and the winding part 50 when the winding part 50 is pulled. The winding portion 50 is slidable relative to the rail 10, and its position relative to the rail 10 is fixed by appropriate means such as bolts. Therefore, the backward stop position of the traveling body 22 can be arbitrarily set by adjusting the position of the winding section 50 to a position where the dried fish does not interfere with a structure such as a wall.

Next, the operation and usage of the thus configured automatic dried fish management device will be explained.

The rear end part of the rail 10 is fixed at a place under the eaves 14 where it is not exposed to rain, and the running body 22 is moved to the tip part of the rail 10 where it is exposed to sunlight against the biasing force of a winding part 50. Then, the rod 48 enters the center hole of the electromagnetic coil 44 of the latching solenoid 42 through the opening at the front of the traveling body 22, and the rod 48 is attracted to the permanent magnet 46. At this time, due to the biasing force of the spiral spring 56 of the winding section 50, the permanent magnet 4
Since the magnetic force (attraction force) of No. 6 is larger, the traveling object No. 2
2 is stopped at the tip of the rail 10. At this time, the switch piece 38 turns on the micro switch 40, so the circuit between the battery 34 and the electromagnetic coil 44 is closed.

Then, the user adjusts the position by moving the rod hook 30 along the guide groove 28 of the traveling body 22, and the user adjusts the position of the fishing rod 84.
To prevent dried food from interfering with a structure such as a handrail even when hung with ... or a hanger 86.

If it rains while drying, sensor 3
2 detects rain and generates a detection signal, and at the same time, current is applied to the electromagnetic coil 44 of the latching solenoid 42 in a predetermined direction. Then the electromagnetic coil 44
A magnetic flux is generated that cancels the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 46, and the attraction between the permanent magnet 46 and the rod 48 is released. Then, the force acting on the traveling body 22 is only the biasing force of the winding section 50, and the traveling body 22 is moved to the rail 1.
Move backward along 0. When the traveling body 22 moves backward, the switch piece 38 and the micro switch 40 are separated, the micro switch 40 is turned off, and the circuit between the battery 34 and the electromagnetic coil 44 is opened, so no current flows even if the sensor 32 is wet. .
Therefore, consumption of the battery 34 is prevented. Running body 22
When the string 54 moves backward, the winding section 50 winds the string 54 onto the spool 60. In addition, since the running body 22 hits the cushion material 82 and enters under the eaves 14, the hanging rod 84...
It is possible to prevent the dried fish hung on ... or the hanger 86 from getting wet in the rain.

Various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the stopping means may include a rod which can freely protrude and retract from the traveling body, and which is latched to the rail. possible to form,
Of course, many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as the release means may be such that the rod is sucked in by an electromagnetic coil to release the lock.

(Effects of the invention) When the automatic dried fish management device according to the present invention is used, since a motor is not used as a drive source for the traveling body, there is no need for a complicated mechanism or wiring work at the device installation site, and costs can be reduced. can. Also,
Since the sensor, electromagnetic coil, and battery are disposed on the vehicle, there is no need for any electrical wiring outside the vehicle, making installation work simple and economical. moreover,
Since the hanging means is movable relative to the traveling body in the moving direction of the traveling body, when it is desired to adjust the position of the dried fish, the change can be made without cutting or adding rails. As a means of stopping the traveling body at the tip of the rail, magnetic adsorption is used instead of mechanical engagement means, so there is no risk of deterioration of the engagement function due to deformation or wear, and the adhesion by permanent magnets Therefore, the battery will not be consumed. In addition, since the electrical system is installed on the traveling body side, troubles due to water intrusion can be prevented, and in particular, the sensor is not constantly exposed to direct sunlight or wind and rain, which is effective in suppressing deterioration.
