Description

この出願の発明は、発泡体の浮力を利用した沈まない、浮く車の提供である。   The invention of this application is to provide a floating vehicle that does not sink using the buoyancy of foam.

従来の車は、川岸の土手から転げ落ちて水中に沈み死亡事故が発生している。また港などで車が車止めを飛び越え転落し、沈んで死亡する事例が後を絶たない。また震災などの津波による車で避難中に巻き込まれて死亡するという事例が多数発生している。最近の事例では外国では台風やハリケーンの高波によって、車が巻き込まれ多数の死傷者が発生している。国内外ては異常気象により集中豪雨が発生し、車が巻き込まれる事故も多発している。そこで、水中に落下したり、高波や津波や集中豪雨に巻き込まれても沈まない、浮く車の開発が要望される。   Conventional cars fall from the bank of the riverbank and sink into the water, causing fatal accidents. In addition, there are many cases in which a car jumps over a stop at a port and falls, and then sinks and dies. In addition, there have been many cases of death caused by being involved in evacuation by vehicles caused by tsunamis such as the earthquake disaster. In recent cases, a large number of casualties have occurred in foreign countries due to typhoons and high waves of hurricanes. In Japan and overseas, heavy rains have occurred due to abnormal weather, and there have been many accidents involving cars. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a floating car that does not sink even if it falls into the water, or is caught in a high wave, tsunami, or heavy rain.

狭い土手沿いの道路などでは車の運転を誤り転げ落ちて水中に沈み、脱出できなく溺死する事例が多く発生している。車が完全に沈まなければ人命を失うことはないと考えられ、車による水中転落事故による死亡がなくなる。   On roads along narrow banks, there are many cases in which driving mistakes cause a car to fall down and sink into the water, making it impossible to escape and drowning. If the car does not sink completely, it is considered that there will be no loss of life, and there will be no death due to an underwater accident caused by the car.

最近の東日本大震災においては死者は１５，７８２人で、９割が溺死である。特に男性が多く、車中の溺死が多かったようである。この様に震災の津波では、車で高台に避難する時に渋滞し押し寄せる津波に飲み込まれて死亡している事例が多くあるという証明である。またここ数年の地球の気候変動はとてつもない台風やハリケーンを発生させており、押し寄せる台風の風速により高波が発生し、津波に匹敵する水が押し寄せて一瞬にして物を飲み込んでいる。また今まで経験したことのない地域的な集中豪雨が発生し濁流に車が呑み込まれている。これからも発生するであろう車の水中転落事故や津波や高波や集中豪雨に備えて、沈まない車の開発が急がれる。   In the recent Great East Japan Earthquake, 15,782 people died and 90% were drowned. It seems that there were many men in particular and drowned in the car. In this way, in the tsunami of the earthquake disaster, it is proof that there are many cases of death due to being swallowed by a tsunami that is congested and rushed when evacuating to high ground by car. The climate change of the earth in recent years has generated tremendous typhoons and hurricanes, and high waves are generated by the wind speed of the typhoon that pushes in, and water comparable to a tsunami pushes and swallows things in an instant. In addition, local torrential rains that have never been experienced have occurred and cars have been swallowed up by muddy streams. There is an urgent need to develop a car that will not sink in preparation for an underwater accident, a tsunami, a high wave, or a heavy rain that will occur in the future.

つまりこの発明は車本体の重力に耐えられる浮力を与える事で、沈まない浮く車が実現
出来るものである。 In other words, the present invention can realize a floating vehicle that does not sink by giving buoyancy that can withstand the gravity of the vehicle body.

本発明は、発泡体の持つ浮力を利用し沈まない浮く車を制作することによって、水中転落や津波や高波や集中豪雨の突発水害より、車本体を浮かせることで車の水没事故による溺死を防ぐ事を図る目的とする。車本体に浮力を与えることで、車のよりよい安全の機能性向上策を提供するものである。   By creating a floating vehicle that does not sink using the buoyancy of foam, the present invention prevents drowning due to a car submergence accident by floating the car body due to underwater fall, tsunami, high waves, and sudden flooding caused by heavy rain. The purpose is to plan things. By giving buoyancy to the car body, it provides a measure to improve the functionality of better car safety.

発泡体などの浮力を有する発泡剤を、車のタイヤーに空気を入れる要領で、理想のタイヤー圧まで注入する。発泡体をタイヤー全体に充満させると浮力を生じ、車体を浮き上がらせる機能が発生する。また前後のバンバー空間部やボデイの空間部にも注入発泡させる。トランクルームの内装材、車内の内装材に発泡体を使用する事で浮力が増加する。車底部に発泡柱を固定する事で浮力調節と車のバランスを保つ役割を果たす。着水と同時に作動するエアーバックをトランクルームやボンネット内で作動させ、浮力補助に使用する。着水時に車体空間部のわずかな隙間に発泡剤入りカプセルを噴出させて発泡体を作り、浮力補助の完璧を期することにより、車全体に浮力を持たせ浮き上がらせる。   A foaming agent with buoyancy, such as foam, is injected up to the ideal tire pressure just as air is put into the car tire. When the entire tire is filled with foam, buoyancy is generated and the vehicle body is lifted. It is also injected and foamed into the front and rear bumper spaces and the body space. Buoyancy is increased by using foam for the interior material of the trunk room and the interior material of the car. By fixing the foam pillar to the bottom of the car, it plays the role of maintaining buoyancy and balancing the car. Airbags that operate simultaneously with water landing are operated in the trunk room and bonnet, and are used for buoyancy assistance. Capsule containing foaming agent is ejected into a small gap in the vehicle body space when landing, creating a foam and perfecting buoyancy assistance, so that the entire vehicle has buoyancy and rises.

従来の車体は重くて水に沈む物である概念より抜け出せていなく、浮力を有する車体の発想は存在しない。水中に落ちたら死亡する考えは捨てなくてはならない。この発明はタイヤーに発泡剤を注入し発泡させ、浮力を持たせる。自動車の車体底部に固定箱内で発泡させた発泡体浮力柱を装着する。トランクルーム内や車内内装の全壁面を発泡体で装着する事で浮力の補助をする。バンバー内部及び車体側面空洞部に浮力剤を注入し発泡する事で前・後面と側面車体に浮力が生じる事で車体全体がバランス良く浮力を生じる。またエアーバックをトランクルーム・ボンネット等の空間部に設置し、着水と同時に作動させる事によって浮力の補助になる。また同時にその他の僅かな空間部に発泡剤入りカプセルを設置し着水と同時に噴出発泡させて、隙間部分に発泡体を作り車の浮力を更に加速させることで浮力に万全を期すことが出来る。これらの全ての作動により大きな浮力が生じ、車は沈むの概念が払拭され乗っている人々を安心させる。水に沈まない車の出現は、車の水中転落事故や津波や高波や集中豪雨による巻き込み事故による溺死事故に十分対応出来る。 The conventional vehicle body is heavy and cannot escape from the concept of being submerged in water, and there is no idea of a vehicle body having buoyancy. The idea of dying if it falls into the water must be thrown away. According to the present invention, a foaming agent is injected into a tire to cause foaming to give buoyancy. A foam buoyancy column foamed in a fixed box is mounted on the bottom of the car body. Supports buoyancy by installing foam in all the walls of the trunk room and interior of the car. By injecting and foaming buoyancy agent into the inside of the bumper and the side cavity of the vehicle body, the buoyancy is generated in the front and rear surfaces and the side vehicle body. Air bags are installed in the space of trunk rooms, bonnets, etc., and actuated simultaneously with landing to assist buoyancy. At the same time, a capsule containing a foaming agent is installed in other small spaces, and the foam is blown and foamed at the same time as landing. A foam is formed in the gap portion to further accelerate the buoyancy of the vehicle, thereby ensuring buoyancy. All of these actions produce great buoyancy, and the car is relieved of the concept of sinking and reassures the people who are riding. The emergence of vehicles that do not sink in water is sufficient to cope with drowning accidents caused by accidents such as falling vehicles under water, tsunamis, high waves, and heavy rains.

これらの各種浮力機能の総和力は、万が一の遭遇である車の水中転落事故による沈む事
による脱出不能の恐怖、津波や高波や集中豪雨時の避難時の巻き込まれ時の水没による溺死等の恐怖から脱却することが可能となる。特に老人が運転する車はハンドル操作の誤りで、狭い道路の河川敷などで転落しているので、老人の転落による溺死を防ぐことが出来るので老人仕様車として必要である。また沿岸部の津波や高波の影響を受ける恐れのある地域は突発的津波や高波に備える特別仕様車として提供することで最悪の事態を免れることが出来るので安全仕様車としての価値がある。また世界の海岸地帯や低地での特別仕様車としての期待も持て、多くの要望に応えられると考える。 The total power of these various buoyancy functions is the fear of being unable to escape due to a car's underwater fall accident, which is an unexpected encounter, and the fear of drowning due to submergence during evacuation during tsunamis, high waves and heavy rain It is possible to get out of. In particular, a car driven by an old man is necessary for an old man-specification car because it can be prevented from drowning due to the fall of an old man because the steering wheel is wrong and falls on a narrow riverbed. Also, areas that are likely to be affected by coastal tsunamis and high waves are worthy of safety specifications because they can avoid the worst situation by providing them as special specification vehicles for sudden tsunamis and high waves. In addition, we expect to meet many demands with the expectation of special specification vehicles in the coastal areas and lowlands of the world.

車が沈まずに浮いたり、浮いたまま流されたりする事で車内における溺死事故はなくなる。車の水中転落事故は毎年必ず報告されているし、津波や高波や集中豪雨では少しは浮いたまま流されるが、脱出できないままに最終的には沈んでしまい溺死に至る。これからも発生するであろう、どのような水災害に対しても浮力のある車によって水中転落事故や津波、高波、集中豪雨にも安全・安心な車の運転が実現する。   If the car floats without sinking or is flushed away, drowning accidents in the car disappear. A car's underwater accident is reported every year, and in a tsunami, a high wave, or torrential rain, it floats a little, but eventually sinks without being able to escape, leading to drowning. A car that has buoyancy in the event of any water disaster that will occur in the future will enable safe and reliable driving in the event of an underwater fall accident, tsunami, high waves, and torrential rain.

その方法は浮力剤を車のあらゆる隙間に注入する方法で発泡体を作る事と、それ以外の僅かな空間部にも発泡剤入りカプセルが着水時機能し発泡体を作り、車の浮力度を加速させる。車の底部には角柱体の発泡体を固定して浮力を持たせ浮力安定を助ける。また、車内、トランクルーム等の全ての内装材に発泡体を使用し、表面を他の化粧材でコーキングすることで浮力が増す。平行して車内以外の空間部でエアーバックを膨らませ、浮力の補助を行う。但し熱に弱い発泡剤の使用は、熱の発生箇所には避けなければならない。 The buoyancy agent is injected into every gap in the car to make the foam, and the capsule with the foaming agent functions in the other small space when the water comes in. Accelerate. A prismatic foam is fixed to the bottom of the car to provide buoyancy and help stabilize buoyancy. Moreover, buoyancy is increased by using foam for all interior materials such as the interior of a car and a trunk room, and coking the surface with other decorative materials. In parallel, the air bag is inflated in a space other than the interior of the vehicle to assist buoyancy. However, use of heat-sensitive foaming agents must be avoided where heat is generated.

これらの問題解消は、車が水の中に落ちたらどうしよう。津波が来て緊急に車で高台に避難する途中に渋滞にあって津波に巻き込まれたらどうしよう。車に乗っていて高波が襲ってきたらどうしよう、集中豪雨に巻き込まれたらどうしようの万が一の問題から、全ての不安を解消し多くの人命を保護する役割を果たす。
〔発明を実施するための最良形態〕
〔実施例１〕 What can be done to solve these problems if the car falls into the water? What if the tsunami comes and you are urgently evacuated to the hills by car and are caught in a tsunami in a traffic jam? What to do if you are in a car and a high wave hits you, or what to do if you are involved in a heavy rain, it helps to eliminate all anxiety and protect many lives.
[Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]
[Example 1]

従来の車が水中に落ちたら死ぬと言う不安、津波が襲ってきて車が津波に捕まったらどうしよう、高波が襲ってきたらどうしようの不安は従来の車では避けて通れない課題である。しかし今や浮力を有する方法は数多く存在するが、車の浮力に対応するシステムに至っていないのが実状である。発泡剤を使用する事による浮力の発生を利用する多くの機能が期待できるが、車を浮かせる技術は実用化されていない。現実問題として沈没しない車は実現出来るのである。   Anxiety that a conventional car will die if it falls into the water, what to do if a tsunami hits and the car gets caught in a tsunami, and what to do if a high wave hits are problems that cannot be avoided with a conventional car. However, there are many methods that have buoyancy now, but the actual situation is that a system that supports the buoyancy of a car has not been reached. Many functions that use the generation of buoyancy due to the use of a foaming agent can be expected, but technology for floating a car has not been put into practical use. A car that does not sink as a real problem can be realized.

一つは、タイヤーそのものが浮き輪になると言うこと、二つはトランクルームや車内のの内装材を浮力を有する発泡体で作ること、三つはバンバー内部に発泡体を注入すること、
四つは車体高温部以外の車体周辺のボデイ空間部に発泡剤を注入し発泡体を作ること、五
つは着水と同時にエアーバックをトランクルームやボンネット等の空間で機能させることで全体の浮力が大きく現れること、六つは着水により作動する発泡剤入りのカプセルを車内以外の空間部で発泡剤を吹き出させ、僅かな空間部にも発泡体を作り、浮力度を加速させ、車体が水に沈むことをシャットアウトすることの出来るシステムである One is to say that the tire itself becomes a floating ring, two is to make the interior material in the trunk room and the car with foam having buoyancy, and three is to inject the foam into the inside of the bumper,
Four is to make foam by injecting foaming agent into the body space around the body other than the high temperature part of the car body. The sixth is that a capsule containing a foaming agent that operates by landing water is blown out in a space other than the inside of the car, creating a foam in a small space, accelerating the buoyancy, It is a system that can shut out sinking in water

タイヤー（１０１）中に発泡剤を空気注入と同じ方法で注入しタイヤー全体に発泡体を
拡散させ所定のタイヤー圧にする。車体底辺部に発泡剤注入の発泡体固定柱（１０２）を取り付ける。前・後方バンバー（１０３）の空洞部にも発泡剤を注入し発泡体で充満させる。またトランクルーム・車内内装部（１０４）にも発泡体で内装して固定し、表面に化粧内装を施す。また車体側面（１０５）の高温部にならない空間部分にも発泡剤を注入し発泡体で充満させておく。また浮力の補助のためにエアーバックを着水と同時にトランクルーム、ボンネット（１０６）の空間部で機能させ浮力補助に使用する。また車内以外の空間部の僅かな隙間に、着水時発泡剤噴出カプセルの取り付け位置（１０７）に発泡剤入りカプセルを装着し、着水と同時に発泡剤を噴出させ、隙間の空間部を発泡体で充満させて浮力の加速を向上させる。
この（１０１）・（１０２）・（１０３）・（１０４）・（１０５）・（１０６）・（１０７））の部分のそれぞれの浮力体によって、水中に落下しても、津波や高波に巻き込まれても、流されながらでも、車輌本体を持ち上げ車全体を浮いた状態にすることが出来る。 A foaming agent is injected into the tire (101) by the same method as air injection to diffuse the foam throughout the tire to a predetermined tire pressure. A foam fixing column (102) for injecting a foaming agent is attached to the bottom of the vehicle body. A foaming agent is also injected into the hollow portions of the front and rear bumpers (103) and filled with foam. In addition, the interior of the trunk room / inner car interior (104) is fixed with foam, and a decorative interior is applied to the surface. Also, a foaming agent is injected into a space portion of the vehicle body side surface (105) that does not become a high temperature portion, and is filled with the foam. In order to assist buoyancy, an air bag is made to function in the space of the trunk room and bonnet (106) at the same time as landing, and is used to assist buoyancy. In addition, a foam-filled capsule is attached to the mounting position (107) of the foaming agent jetting capsule at the time of landing in a small gap in the space other than the inside of the vehicle, and the foaming agent is jetted at the same time as the water landing. Improve buoyancy acceleration by filling with body.
(101), (102), (103), (104), (105), (106), and (107)), even if it falls into the water, it is caught in tsunamis and high waves. Even if it is swept away, the entire vehicle can be lifted by lifting the vehicle body.

河川の堤防道路や、岸壁で車が誤って転落して死亡するケースが後を絶たないが、水中に落下しても、車体の性格上底部と車体前部が重いので、当然底部とボンネット部分より下にして沈むケースが多い。水中に落ちた時、車は一気に水没することなく車内の空気やタイヤーの空気や車体空間部の空気によってしばらくは浮いた状態を保つことが出来るが脱出する時間もなく沈んでしまう。この発泡体やエアーバックや発泡剤カプセルの総合の機能により、（１０１）・（１０２）・（１０３）・（１０４）・（１０５）・（１０６）・（１０７）により発生する浮力によって、沈まなく浮いた状態のまま流されたり打ち上げられたりする状態になり、転落や打突による負傷は有っても水中に沈み溺死することはなく直ちに救助される。 There is no end to the case where a car accidentally falls and dies on a river dike road or quay, but even if it falls into the water, the bottom and bonnet parts of the body are naturally because the bottom of the body and the front of the body are heavy. There are many cases that sink below. When falling into the water, the car can be kept floating for a while by the air inside the car, the air of the tires and the air of the vehicle body space without being submerged at once, but it will sink without time to escape. Due to the overall functions of the foam, air bag and foaming agent capsule, the buoyancy generated by (101), (102), (103), (104), (105), (106), and (107) will sink. It will be in a state of being floated and launched without being lifted, and will be rescued immediately without sinking into the water and drowning even if there is an injury due to a fall or hit.

津波の高台避難のために車を使用して遠方避難することがあるが、東日本大震災では老人や病人や高年齢ほど死亡率が高く、障がい者の場合はこの２，５倍になる。この事よりいち早い避難は車による移動がベストであり、歩いての避難は困難であると考えられる。しかし車中での溺死が多いのは、車で移動中に渋滞してしまい津波に巻き込まれるケースが多かったようである。車は津波震災映像でもしばらくは浮いたまま流され、その後沈んで溺死するケースが多かったのではないかと推察される。車体そのものが流される程度であれば、車は非常に強固に作られており、鉄板の強度やガラス部分なども非常に堅牢であり、他の障害物に衝突しても原型を止めており、車が浮く機能を備えることにより軽微な破損程度による水没はほとんどなくなる。   The tsunami may be used to evacuate far away using a car, but in the Great East Japan Earthquake, the elderly, sick, and older people have a higher mortality rate. The fastest way to evacuate is by car, and it is considered difficult to evacuate on foot. However, it seems that there are many cases where drowning in the car has been involved in the tsunami due to traffic congestion while moving by car. It is speculated that there were many cases where the car was washed away for a while even in the tsunami earthquake image and then sinked and drowned. As long as the car body itself is washed away, the car is made very strong, the strength of the iron plate and the glass part are also very robust, and the prototype is stopped even if it collides with other obstacles, By providing the function of the car to float, submersion due to minor damage is almost eliminated.

また、最近は地球の気候変動により台風やハリケーンは異常な記録的風速を起こし、津
波がごとくの高波が押し寄せ大災害を引き起こしている。車で逃げる時、また走行中に不
意に高波に襲われ流される事故が多く見られる。この様な将来必ず起こって来るであろう災害に備え、車で移動することは身近な通常の行動である。最近は強度面やハイテク技術での自動運転等も出来るまでの車が出現しているが、浮く車の発想は実現していない。今後も起こりうるであろう水災害や、迫り来る震災が引き起こすであろう津波や高波の災害の発生に万全を期すことが出来る、浮く車の出現が産業上も災害対応上でも必要である。 Recently, typhoons and hurricanes have caused unusually high wind speeds due to global climate change, and tsunami-like high waves have pushed in and caused major disasters. There are many accidents that occur when you run away by car or are swept away by high waves while driving. Traveling by car in preparation for such a disaster that will surely occur in the future is a familiar normal action. Recently, vehicles that are capable of automatic driving with strength and high-tech technology have appeared, but the idea of a floating vehicle has not been realized. The emergence of floating vehicles that can be fully prepared for the occurrence of water disasters that may occur in the future and tsunami and high wave disasters that are likely to be caused by the upcoming earthquake is necessary for both industrial and disaster response. .
