Description

本発明は、風の力の大きさや向きを検出して、風速や風向などを計測する風計測装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a wind measuring device that detects the magnitude and direction of a wind force and measures the wind speed, the wind direction, and the like.

居住空間や、工業設備、栽培施設などの農場現場では、「風速」は重要な環境要素であり、生産性にも影響を与える。さらに、風がどの方向から吹いているかという「風向」の情報は、環境把握を行う上では重要である。例えば、居住空間では、タバコの煙など有害物質の流れ方向を把握できたほうが良い。工業設備でも、クリーンルーム等の風向きに注意を払う必要がある。さらに、ＩＣＴ化・クラウド化等で中心的な役割を果たすデータセンタ・サーバルームなどでは、風の気流管理が適切に行われないと、サーバの冷却が適切に行われなくなり、処理速度の制約を受ける事になる。 At farm sites such as living spaces, industrial equipment, and cultivation facilities, "wind speed" is an important environmental factor and also affects productivity. Furthermore, information on the "wind direction" from which direction the wind is blowing is important for understanding the environment. For example, in a living space, it is better to be able to grasp the flow direction of harmful substances such as cigarette smoke. Even in industrial equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the wind in clean rooms. Furthermore, in data centers and server rooms, which play a central role in ICT and cloud computing, if wind airflow is not properly managed, the server will not be cooled properly, limiting processing speed. Will receive.

また、屋外環境と異なり、これら空間の風速は１ｍ／ｓ以下であることが多く、また、設置場所も限られているため、風計測装置が小型である必要がある。また、屋外であっても、センサの小型化・低コスト化の要求は強くなっており、これらのニーズを満たす風計測装置が求められている。 Further, unlike the outdoor environment, the wind speed in these spaces is often 1 m / s or less, and the installation location is limited, so that the wind measuring device needs to be small. Further, even outdoors, there is an increasing demand for miniaturization and cost reduction of sensors, and a wind measuring device that meets these needs is required.

ところで、従来より、風速や風向を計測する風計測装置として、様々な方式が提案されている。例えば、屋外気象計測で一般的に用いられているものとして、いわゆる風見鶏と呼ばれるもので、風の力によって風下側に羽根が来るようにしたものが知られている。特に気象庁や屋外気象計測は、風速検出のプロペラを仕込んだ飛行機型と呼ばれるものが用いられている。 By the way, various methods have been conventionally proposed as wind measuring devices for measuring wind speed and direction. For example, a so-called weathercock, which is generally used in outdoor meteorological measurement, is known to have feathers on the leeward side due to the force of the wind. In particular, the Japan Meteorological Agency and outdoor meteorological measurements use what is called an airplane type equipped with a propeller for wind speed detection.

また、超音波の伝達速度から風速と風向を求める超音波式が実用化されている。これは、複数方向の風速を同時計測し、その複数の風速からベクトルを導き出し、風向を得る方法である。風向算出には、最低２軸の超音波発振器と受信器が必要であり、これを３組用いて３軸で計測すると、３次元での風向も得られる。 In addition, an ultrasonic method that obtains the wind speed and direction from the transmission speed of ultrasonic waves has been put into practical use. This is a method of simultaneously measuring wind speeds in a plurality of directions, deriving a vector from the plurality of wind speeds, and obtaining a wind direction. To calculate the wind direction, an ultrasonic oscillator and a receiver with at least two axes are required, and if three sets of these are used for measurement on three axes, a three-dimensional wind direction can also be obtained.

さらに、プロペラ式の風速計を３方位組合せて、３次元での風向を得られる方式も、一部では用いられている。 Further, a method in which a propeller type anemometer is combined in three directions to obtain a three-dimensional wind direction is also used in some cases.

ところが、これら従来の方式の風計測装置は、装置の大きさが２０ｃｍ四方以上の空間を必要として大型であり、また装置コストも高額なものばかりであった。また、超音波式を除く上記風計測装置は、風速の３乗に比例した力が物体にかかることを利用しているため、微風速域では計測が困難、もしくは風速の違いによる差が出にくく、逆に微風速域に最適化して設計すると、やや強い風速域の環境下に置かれるとレンジオーバーを引き起こしていた。一方、１ｍ／ｓ以下の微風速を良好に検出できるものは、上記のうち超音波式のみであるが、超音波式のものも、分解能を上げるためには使用周波数を上げるか、発振器〜受信器間の距離を広げる必要があった。 However, these conventional wind measuring devices are large in size because they require a space of 20 cm square or more, and the cost of the device is also high. In addition, since the above wind measuring devices other than the ultrasonic type utilize the fact that a force proportional to the cube of the wind speed is applied to the object, it is difficult to measure in the light wind speed range, or it is difficult to make a difference due to the difference in wind speed. On the contrary, when the design was optimized for the breeze speed range, the range was over when placed in an environment with a slightly strong wind speed range. On the other hand, among the above, only the ultrasonic type can satisfactorily detect a breeze speed of 1 m / s or less, but in order to improve the resolution, the ultrasonic type also has to increase the frequency used or the oscillator to receive. It was necessary to increase the distance between the vessels.

そこで、上述の方式とは別に、熱式の風計測装置が実用化されている。この方式は、小型化が容易で、構造も比較的簡単であり、微風速を計測可能という特徴を備えている。実用化された例として、指向性を持たせたＰｔ自己発熱式風速センサを３つ組合せ、指向性による感度の違いを利用して風向を算出する手法が取られていて、市販もされている。ただ、この方式は、細い白金抵抗体を３本用いる方式であるため、機械的衝撃や腐食性に耐候性が低く、製造の手間も必要といった問題点を抱えている。
そこで、これらの問題点を克服し、高コスト、小型化、堅牢性を備えた風計測装置の構造および製造法として、本発明者は特許文献１〜３に示すものを発明し、特許出願している。 Therefore, apart from the above-mentioned method, a thermal wind measuring device has been put into practical use. This method has the features that it is easy to miniaturize, the structure is relatively simple, and the breeze speed can be measured. As an example of practical use, a method of calculating the wind direction by combining three Pt self-heating wind speed sensors having directivity and utilizing the difference in sensitivity due to directivity has been adopted and is also commercially available. .. However, since this method uses three thin platinum resistors, it has problems that it has low weather resistance against mechanical impact and corrosiveness, and that it requires labor for manufacturing.
Therefore, the present inventor has invented the ones shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3 as a structure and manufacturing method of a wind measuring device having high cost, miniaturization, and robustness by overcoming these problems, and applied for a patent. ing.

ところが、熱式のそもそもの問題点として、検出部分を温めておく必要があり、これにより一定の熱エネルギー源をセンサに供給しなければ稼働しない問題点を有している。これにより、電池を電源とした場合は長時間連続稼働が出来ず、連続稼働を行うためには、長期間安定して電気を受けられるように、商用電源などの電源をエネルギーソースに用意する必要がある。この問題は、装置の設置や運用上の制限を設けることになり、今後予想されるセンサ等を用いたＩｏＴ化やスマートコミュニティ実現に制約を与えることになる。 However, as a problem of the thermal type, it is necessary to keep the detection portion warm, which causes a problem that the sensor does not operate unless a constant heat energy source is supplied to the sensor. As a result, when a battery is used as a power source, continuous operation cannot be performed for a long time, and in order to perform continuous operation, it is necessary to prepare a power source such as a commercial power source as an energy source so that electricity can be stably received for a long period of time. There is. This problem imposes restrictions on the installation and operation of equipment, and imposes restrictions on the IoT and smart community realization that are expected in the future.

なお、上述の方式の他に、航空機に用いているピトー管や、パイプなどの流体を図るための差圧式の流量計などが実用化されているが、これらは流れ方向が定まっている場合や、流れ経路が既知な流体に対してのもので、流れ方向が定まっていないもしくは、流れ方向が予想できない計測には向かない。 In addition to the above methods, pitot tubes used in aircraft and differential pressure type flow meters for measuring fluids such as pipes have been put into practical use, but these may be used when the flow direction is fixed. , For fluids with known flow paths, not suitable for measurements where the flow direction is uncertain or the flow direction is unpredictable.

本発明は、上述の問題に鑑みてなされたものであって、簡易な構成にして、風速や風向を精度良く計測することが可能な風計測装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wind measuring device capable of accurately measuring a wind speed and a wind direction with a simple configuration.

本発明に係る風計測装置は、上記目的を達成するために、風を受けるディテクタと、前記ディテクタを支持するとともに、ディテクタにより受けた風の力を伝達する伝達部材と、前記伝達部材により伝達されてきた風の力の大きさを検出する検出センサとを備えることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the wind measuring device according to the present invention has a detector that receives wind, a transmission member that supports the detector and transmits the force of the wind received by the detector, and the transmission member. It is characterized by being provided with a detection sensor that detects the magnitude of the force of the incoming wind.

これによれば、ディテクタ、伝達部材および検出センサからなる簡易な構成にして、風の力の大きさを簡単かつ確実に検出することができ、風速や風向などを精度良く計測することが可能となる。 According to this, it is possible to easily and surely detect the magnitude of the wind force with a simple configuration consisting of a detector, a transmission member and a detection sensor, and it is possible to accurately measure the wind speed and direction. Become.

また、前記ディテクタは、球体に形成されてもよい。これよれば、上下左右あらゆる方向からの風に対して指向性を有しないため、あらゆる方向からの風の力の大きさを検出することができる。 Further, the detector may be formed in a sphere. According to this, since the wind has no directivity to the wind from all directions, up, down, left and right, the magnitude of the wind force from all directions can be detected.

また、前記ディテクタは、複数の細い棒状部材が放射状に延びる態様に形成されてもよい。これによれば、ディテクタが強い風を受けた場合、風が各棒状部材の間を抜けることにより、過大な力が伝達部材や検出センサにかかることを防止できる。 Further, the detector may be formed in such a manner that a plurality of thin rod-shaped members extend radially. According to this, when the detector receives a strong wind, it is possible to prevent an excessive force from being applied to the transmission member and the detection sensor by passing the wind between the rod-shaped members.

また、前記伝達部材は、軸方向に延びる棒状部材からなり、先端部に前記ディテクタが設けられるとともに、基端部に前記検出センサが設けられてもよいし、前記伝達部材は、検出センサが伝達部材の基端部の周面側に配置されてもよい。これによれば、より一層簡易な構成にして、風の力の大きさを簡単かつ確実に検出することができる。 Further, the transmission member is composed of a rod-shaped member extending in the axial direction, and the detector may be provided at the tip end portion and the detection sensor may be provided at the base end portion. It may be arranged on the peripheral surface side of the base end portion of the member. According to this, it is possible to easily and surely detect the magnitude of the wind force by making the configuration even simpler.

また、前記伝達部材は、軸方向に延びる棒状部材と、該棒状部材の基端部に設けられた複数の脚部材とからなり、各脚部材の基端部に検出センサが設けられてもよい。これによれば、各脚部材の基端部に設けられた各検出センサによる風の力の大きさの検出結果を合成することにより風の向きを計測することができる。 Further, the transmission member includes a rod-shaped member extending in the axial direction and a plurality of leg members provided at the base end portions of the rod-shaped member, and a detection sensor may be provided at the base end portion of each leg member. .. According to this, the direction of the wind can be measured by synthesizing the detection results of the magnitude of the wind force by each detection sensor provided at the base end portion of each leg member.

また、前記伝達部材は、軸方向に延びる棒状部材と、該棒状部材の基端部に設けられた平板部材とからなり、平板部材の裏面に複数の検出センサが設けられてもよいし、前記伝達部材は、平面方向に延びる平板部材からなり、表面に前記ディテクタが設けられるとともに、裏面に複数の前記検出センサが設けられてもよい。これによれば、平板部材の裏面に設けられた各検出センサによる風の力の大きさの検出結果を合成することにより風の向きを計測することができる。 Further, the transmission member is composed of a rod-shaped member extending in the axial direction and a flat plate member provided at a base end portion of the rod-shaped member, and a plurality of detection sensors may be provided on the back surface of the flat plate member. The transmission member is made of a flat plate member extending in the plane direction, and the detector may be provided on the front surface and a plurality of the detection sensors may be provided on the back surface. According to this, the direction of the wind can be measured by synthesizing the detection results of the magnitude of the wind force by each detection sensor provided on the back surface of the flat plate member.

また、前記棒状部材は、可撓性の材質からなってもよい。これによれば、ディタクタが受ける風の力に応じて撓むことにより、検出センサに伝達される力を減衰させ得るため、弱い風速環境から強い風速環境の幅広い風速範囲で適用することができる。 Further, the rod-shaped member may be made of a flexible material. According to this, since the force transmitted to the detection sensor can be attenuated by bending according to the wind force received by the deductor, it can be applied in a wide wind speed range from a weak wind speed environment to a strong wind speed environment.

また、さらに、前記検出センサにより検出した風の力の大きさに基づいて、風速および／または風向を計測する計測部を備えてもよい。これによれば、前記検出センサにより検出した風の力の大きさに基づいて、風速および／または風向を精度良く計測することが可能となる。 Further, a measuring unit that measures the wind speed and / or the wind direction based on the magnitude of the wind force detected by the detection sensor may be provided. According to this, it is possible to accurately measure the wind speed and / or the wind direction based on the magnitude of the wind force detected by the detection sensor.

本発明によれば、ディテクタ、伝達部材および検出センサからなる簡易な構成にして、風の力の大きさを簡単かつ確実に検出することができ、風速や風向などを精度良く計測することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and surely detect the magnitude of the wind force by using a simple configuration consisting of a detector, a transmission member and a detection sensor, and it is possible to accurately measure the wind speed, the wind direction, and the like. It becomes.

このため、居住空間や、工業設備、栽培施設などの農業現場などにおいて、風速や風向を必要とする場面に対して、小型で安価な風計測装置を与えることが可能となる。 Therefore, it is possible to provide a small and inexpensive wind measuring device for a situation where a wind speed or a wind direction is required in a living space, an industrial facility, an agricultural site such as a cultivation facility, or the like.

また、圧力や力を検出するピエゾ素子などの検出デバイスは、大きな電力を必要としない省電力のため、化学電池などの電源容量の制限のある環境や、太陽電池や振動発電などのエネルギーハーベスティング装置により、エネルギーを装置内で完結させた電源環境でも動作可能である。 In addition, detection devices such as piezo elements that detect pressure and force do not require a large amount of power to save power, so they can be used in environments with limited power capacity such as chemical batteries, and energy harvesting such as solar cells and vibration power generation. The device can also operate in a power environment where the energy is complete within the device.

＜第１の実施形態＞
次に、本発明に係る風計測装置（以下、本装置という）の第１の実施形態について図１を参照しつつ説明する。 <First Embodiment>
Next, a first embodiment of the wind measuring device (hereinafter referred to as the present device) according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

本装置は、風を受けるディテクタ１と、風の力を伝達する伝達部材２と、風の力を検出する検出センサ３とから構成される。 This device includes a detector 1 that receives wind, a transmission member 2 that transmits wind force, and a detection sensor 3 that detects wind force.

前記ディテクタ１は、球体に形成されており、上下左右あらゆる方向からの風に対して指向性を有しない形状となされている。このため、ディテクタ１は、ある方向から風を受けた際、球体表面に沿って風を流しながら風の力を受け止める。 The detector 1 is formed in a sphere and has a shape that does not have directivity with respect to wind from all directions, up, down, left, and right. Therefore, when the detector 1 receives the wind from a certain direction, the detector 1 receives the force of the wind while flowing the wind along the surface of the sphere.

前記伝達部材２は、軸方向に延びる可撓性の樹脂製又は金属製等の棒状部材からなり、先端部２ａにディテクタ１が設けられるとともに、基端部２ｂに検出センサ３が設けられている。この伝達部材２は、ディテクタ１により受けた風の力を検出センサ３に伝達するものである。具体的には、ディテクタ１が風を受けた際、伝達部材２が検出センサ３との接続部分を支点として撓むことによって、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸方向に引っ張られたり、押されたりする力が作用し、それら引張力や押圧力を風の力として検出センサ３に伝達する。 The transmission member 2 is made of a flexible resin or metal rod-shaped member extending in the axial direction, and a detector 1 is provided at a tip portion 2a and a detection sensor 3 is provided at a base end portion 2b. .. The transmission member 2 transmits the wind force received by the detector 1 to the detection sensor 3. Specifically, when the detector 1 receives wind, the transmission member 2 bends with the connection portion with the detection sensor 3 as a fulcrum, so that the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is pulled in the Z-axis direction. A pushing force acts, and the tensile force and the pushing pressure are transmitted to the detection sensor 3 as a wind force.

前記検出センサ３は、平面視矩形状の平板に形成されており、表面の中央部に伝達部材２が立設されるとともに、裏面が筐体などの固定物に固定される。この検出センサ３は、伝達部材２から伝達されてきた風の力の大きさを検出して、その風の力の大きさを電気信号に変換するためのピエゾ素子などの変換素子からなる。本実施形態では、検出センサ３は、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られると正の値を出力し、伝達部材２がＺ軸の負方向に押されると負の値を出力する。 The detection sensor 3 is formed on a flat plate having a rectangular shape in a plan view, and a transmission member 2 is erected at the center of the front surface, and the back surface is fixed to a fixed object such as a housing. The detection sensor 3 includes a conversion element such as a piezo element for detecting the magnitude of the wind force transmitted from the transmission member 2 and converting the magnitude of the wind force into an electric signal. In the present embodiment, the detection sensor 3 outputs a positive value when the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, and negative when the transmission member 2 is pushed in the negative direction of the Z axis. Output the value.

而して、Ｘ軸やＹ軸の横方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＸ軸やＹ軸の横方向に風を受けると、伝達部材２が検出センサ３との接続部分を支点として撓むことにより、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３がそのときの引張力を風の力として検出して正の値を出力する。 Thus, when the wind flows in the lateral direction of the X-axis or the Y-axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the lateral direction of the X-axis or the Y-axis, the transmission member 2 bends with the connection portion with the detection sensor 3 as a fulcrum. As a result, the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is in a state of being pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, so that the detection sensor 3 detects the tensile force at that time as a wind force and outputs a positive value.

＜第２の実施形態＞
次に、本発明に係る本装置の第２の実施形態について図２〜図３を参照しつつ説明する。なお、以下では上記の実施形態と異なる構成についてのみ説明することとし、同一の構成については説明を省略して同一の符号を付すこととする。 <Second embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 3. In the following, only the configurations different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and the same configurations will be omitted and the same reference numerals will be given.

本実施形態では、前記伝達部材２は、基端部２ｂが筐体などの固形物Ｇに直接固定されている。このため、ディテクタ１が風を受けた際、伝達部材２が固形物Ｇとの接続部分を支点として撓むことによって、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂがＸ軸方向やＹ軸方向に押される力が作用し、その押圧力を風の力として検出センサ３に伝達する。 In the present embodiment, the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is directly fixed to a solid object G such as a housing. Therefore, when the detector 1 receives wind, the transmission member 2 bends with the connection portion with the solid object G as a fulcrum, so that the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is pushed in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction. A force acts and the pressing force is transmitted to the detection sensor 3 as a wind force.

また、前記検出センサ３は、直方体に形成された２個の第１および第２の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂからなる。これら第１および第２の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂは、それぞれ伝達部材２の基端部２ｂの周面側のＸ軸方向およびＹ軸方向に接続部材４１，４２を介して設けられている。これら第１および第２の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂは、伝達部材２から伝達されてきた風の力の大きさを検出して、その風の力の大きさを電気信号に変換するためのピエゾ素子などの変換素子からなる。本実施形態では、第１の検出センサ３Ａは、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂにより接続部材４１を介してＸ軸の正方向に引っ張られると正の値を出力し、Ｘ軸の負方向に押されると負の値を出力する。一方、第２の検出センサ３Ｂは、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂにより接続部材４２を介してＹ軸の正方向に押されると正の値を出力し、Ｘ軸の負方向に引っ張られると負の値を出力する。 Further, the detection sensor 3 includes two first and second detection sensors 3A and 3B formed in a rectangular parallelepiped. The first and second detection sensors 3A and 3B are provided via the connecting members 41 and 42 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction on the peripheral surface side of the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2, respectively. These first and second detection sensors 3A and 3B are piezo elements for detecting the magnitude of the wind force transmitted from the transmission member 2 and converting the magnitude of the wind force into an electric signal. It consists of conversion elements such as. In the present embodiment, the first detection sensor 3A outputs a positive value when pulled in the positive direction of the X-axis by the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 via the connecting member 41, and outputs a positive value in the negative direction of the X-axis. When pressed, a negative value is output. On the other hand, when the second detection sensor 3B is pushed by the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 via the connecting member 42 in the positive direction of the Y axis, it outputs a positive value, and when it is pulled in the negative direction of the X axis. Output a negative value.

而して、Ｘ軸やＹ軸の横方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＸ軸やＹ軸の横方向に風を受けると、伝達部材２が固定物Ｇとの接続部分を支点として撓むことによって、伝達部材２の基端部２ｂが接続部材４１、４２を介してＸ軸やＹ軸の方向に押された状態となり、それに伴って第１および第２の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂが押されたり、引っ張られた状態となるため、第１および第２の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂがそのときの押圧力や引張力を風の力として検出して正の値や負の値を出力する。このとき第１の検出センサ３ＡがＸ軸方向の風の力を検出し、第２の検出センサ３ＢがＹ軸方向の風の力を検出するため、これら第１の検出センサ３ＡによるＸ軸方向の風の力と第２の検出センサ３ＢによるＹ軸方向の風の力とを合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｘ軸−Ｙ軸方向の２次元平面の向き）を計測することができる。 Thus, when the wind flows in the lateral direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the lateral direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis, the transmission member 2 bends with the connection portion with the fixed object G as a fulcrum. As a result, the base end portion 2b of the transmission member 2 is pushed in the X-axis and Y-axis directions via the connecting members 41 and 42, and the first and second detection sensors 3A and 3B are pushed accordingly. The first and second detection sensors 3A and 3B detect the pressing force and the tensile force at that time as the wind force and output a positive value or a negative value.

Next, a third embodiment of the present device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5.

本実施形態では、前記伝達部材２は、軸方向に延びる可撓性の樹脂製又は金属製等の棒状部材からなる第１の伝達部材２１と、該第１の伝達部材２１の基端部に設けられた可撓性の樹脂製又は金属製等の脚部材からなる第２の伝達部材２２とから構成される。これら第２の伝達部材２２は、３個の伝達部材２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃからなり、それぞれ第１の伝達部材２１の基端部から互いに平面視１２０度の角度をなして斜め下方に向けて延びており、基端部２ｂに検出センサ３（３Ａ，３Ｂ、３Ｃ）が設けられている。このため、ディテクタ１が風を受けた際、伝達部材２が検出センサ３との接続部分を支点として撓むことによって、第２の伝達部材２２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸方向に引っ張られたり、押されたりする力が作用し、それら引張力や押圧力を風の力として検出センサ３に伝達する。 In the present embodiment, the transmission member 2 is attached to a first transmission member 21 made of a rod-shaped member made of flexible resin or metal extending in the axial direction, and a base end portion of the first transmission member 21. It is composed of a second transmission member 22 made of a flexible resin or metal leg member provided. The second transmission member 22 is composed of three transmission members 22A, 22B, and 22C, each extending diagonally downward from the base end portion of the first transmission member 21 at an angle of 120 degrees in a plan view. A detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) is provided at the base end portion 2b. Therefore, when the detector 1 receives wind, the transmission member 2 bends with the connection portion with the detection sensor 3 as a fulcrum, so that the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22 is pulled in the Z-axis direction. , Pushing force acts, and those tensile force and pushing force are transmitted to the detection sensor 3 as wind force.

前記検出センサ３は、平面視矩形状の平板に形成された第１〜第３の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃからなり、表面の中央部に第２の伝達部材２２（２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃ）が立設されるとともに、裏面が筐体などの固定物に固定されている。この検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）は、伝達部材２から伝達されてきた風の力の大きさを検出して、その風の力の大きさを電気信号に変換するためのピエゾ素子などの変換素子からなる。本実施形態では、検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）は、第２の伝達部材２２（２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃ）の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られると正の値を出力し、第２の伝達部材２２（２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃ）の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の負方向に押されると負の値を出力する。 The detection sensor 3 is composed of first to third detection sensors 3A, 3B, and 3C formed on a flat plate having a rectangular shape in a plan view, and a second transmission member 22 (22A, 22B, 22C) is located at the center of the surface. Is erected, and the back surface is fixed to a fixed object such as a housing. The detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) detects the magnitude of the wind force transmitted from the transmission member 2, and converts the magnitude of the wind force into an electric signal such as a piezo element. Consists of conversion elements. In the present embodiment, the detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) outputs a positive value when the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22 (22A, 22B, 22C) is pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis. Then, when the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22 (22A, 22B, 22C) is pushed in the negative direction of the Z axis, a negative value is output.

而して、所定の方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１が所定の方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２（２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃ）の基端部２ｂはＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られたり、負方向に押されたりする状態となるため、検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）がそのときの引張力や押圧力を風の力として検出して正の値または負の値をそれぞれ出力する。また、これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）のＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｘ軸−Ｙ軸−Ｚ軸方向の３次元の向き）を計測することができる。 Thus, when the wind flows in a predetermined direction and the detector 1 receives the wind in a predetermined direction, the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22 (22A, 22B, 22C) is pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis. The detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) detects the tensile force and pressing force at that time as the force of the wind and sets a positive value or a negative value. Output each. Further, by synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction of these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (three-dimensional direction in the X-axis-Y-axis-Z-axis direction) can be obtained. Can be measured.

例えば、図５（ａ）に示すように、Ｙ軸の正方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＹ軸の正方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２Ｃの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の負方向に押された状態となるため、検出センサ３Ｃがそのときの押圧力を風の力として検出して負の値を出力する。一方、第２の伝達部材２２Ａ、２２Ｂの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂがそのときの引張力を風の力として検出して正の値を出力する。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｙ軸の正方向）を計測することができる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the wind flows in the positive direction of the Y-axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the positive direction of the Y-axis, the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22C has the Z-axis. Since the state is pushed in the negative direction of, the detection sensor 3C detects the pushing pressure at that time as the force of the wind and outputs a negative value. On the other hand, since the base end portions 2b of the second transmission members 22A and 22B are in a state of being pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, the detection sensors 3A and 3B detect the tensile force at that time as the wind force and are positive. Outputs the value of. By synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction by these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (positive direction of the Y-axis) can be measured.

また、例えば、図５（ｂ）に示すように、Ｙ軸の負方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＹ軸の負方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２Ａ，２２Ｂの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の負方向に押された状態となるため、検出センサ３Ａ，３Ｂがそのときの押圧力を風の力として検出して負の値を出力する。一方、第２の伝達部材２２Ｃの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３Ｃがそのときの引張力を風の力として検出して正の値を出力する。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｙ軸の負方向）を計測することができる。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the wind flows in the negative direction of the Y axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the negative direction of the Y axis, the base end portions of the second transmission members 22A and 22B Since 2b is in a state of being pushed in the negative direction of the Z axis, the detection sensors 3A and 3B detect the pushing pressure at that time as a wind force and output a negative value. On the other hand, since the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22C is in a state of being pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, the detection sensor 3C detects the tensile force at that time as a wind force and outputs a positive value. To do. By synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction by these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (negative direction in the Y-axis) can be measured.

また、例えば、図５（ｃ）に示すように、Ｘ軸の正方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＸ軸の正方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２Ｂの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の負方向に押された状態となるため、第２の検出センサ３Ｂがそのときの押圧力を風の力として検出して負の値を出力する。一方、第２の伝達部材２２Ａの基端部２ｂはＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３Ａがそのときの引張力を風の力として検出して正の値で出力する。なお、第２の伝達部材２２Ｃの基端部２ｂは押されることも、引っ張られることもないため、検出センサ３Ｃは中立の値（±０）を出力する。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｘ軸の正方向）を計測することができる。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the wind flows in the positive direction of the X-axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the positive direction of the X-axis, the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22B is moved. Since the Z-axis is pushed in the negative direction, the second detection sensor 3B detects the pushing pressure at that time as a wind force and outputs a negative value. On the other hand, since the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22A is in a state of being pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, the detection sensor 3A detects the tensile force at that time as a wind force and outputs a positive value. To do. Since the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22C is neither pushed nor pulled, the detection sensor 3C outputs a neutral value (± 0). By synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction by these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (positive direction of the X-axis) can be measured.

また、例えば、図５（ｄ）に示すように、Ｚ軸の負方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＺ軸の負方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃの各基端部２ｂはいずれもＺ軸の負方向に押された状態となるため、検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃはそのときの押圧力を風の力として検出して同一の負の値を出力する。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｚ軸の負方向）を計測することができる。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5D, when the wind flows in the negative direction of the Z axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the negative direction of the Z axis, each of the second transmission members 22A, 22B, and 22C. Since the base end portion 2b is in a state of being pushed in the negative direction of the Z axis, the detection sensors 3A, 3B, and 3C detect the pressing force at that time as a wind force and output the same negative value. .. By synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction by these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (negative direction in the Z-axis) can be measured.

また、例えば、図５（ｅ）に示すように、Ｚ軸の正方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１がＺ軸の正方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２Ａ、２２Ｂ、２２Ｃの各基端部２ｂはいずれもＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃはそのときの引張力を風の力として検出して同一の正の値を出力する。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｚ軸の正方向）を計測することができる。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5E, when the wind flows in the positive direction of the Z axis and the detector 1 receives the wind in the positive direction of the Z axis, each of the second transmission members 22A, 22B, and 22C. Since the base end portion 2b is in a state of being pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, the detection sensors 3A, 3B, and 3C detect the tensile force at that time as a wind force and output the same positive value. ..

In the second transmission member 22, the first transmission member 21 is erected from the central portion of the front surface, and the detection sensor 3 is provided on the back surface. Therefore, when the detector 1 receives the wind, the first transmission member 21 bends with the connecting portion with the second transmission member 22 as a fulcrum, so that each portion on the plane of the second transmission member 22 becomes Z. Forces that are pulled or pushed in the axial direction act, and these tensile forces and pushing pressures are transmitted to the detection sensor 3 as wind forces.

前記検出センサ３は、図６（ｂ）に示すように、円盤状に形成された３個の検出センサ３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃからなり、それぞれ第２の伝達部材２２の裏面の周縁部に沿って設けられ、第２の伝達部材２２の中央部から見て互いに１２０度の角度をもって配置されている。これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）は、伝達部材２から伝達されてきた風の力の大きさを検出して、その風の力の大きさを電気信号に変換するためのピエゾ素子などの変換素子からなる。本実施形態では、検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）は、第２の伝達部材２２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の正方向に引っ張られると正の値を出力し、第２の伝達部材２２の基端部２ｂがＺ軸の負方向に押されると負の値を出力する。 As shown in FIG. 6B, the detection sensor 3 is composed of three detection sensors 3A, 3B, and 3C formed in a disk shape, and each is along the peripheral edge of the back surface of the second transmission member 22. It is provided and is arranged at an angle of 120 degrees with respect to the central portion of the second transmission member 22. These detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) detect the magnitude of the wind force transmitted from the transmission member 2, and convert the magnitude of the wind force into an electric signal such as a piezo element. Consists of conversion elements. In the present embodiment, the detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) outputs a positive value when the base end portion 2b of the second transmission member 22 is pulled in the positive direction of the Z axis, and the second transmission member 22. When the base end portion 2b of 22 is pushed in the negative direction of the Z axis, a negative value is output.

而して、第３の実施形態と同様に、所定の方向に風が流れ、ディテクタ１が所定の方向に風を受けると、第２の伝達部材２２の各部はＺ軸の正方向または負方向に押されたり、引っ張られた状態となるため、検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）がそのときの押圧力または引張力を風の力として検出して負の値または正の値をそれぞれ出力する。また、これら検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）によるＺ軸方向の風の力を合成することにより全体の風の力と向き（Ｘ軸−Ｙ軸−Ｚ軸方向の３次元の向き）を計測することができる。 Thus, as in the third embodiment, when the wind flows in a predetermined direction and the detector 1 receives the wind in a predetermined direction, each part of the second transmission member 22 is in the positive or negative direction of the Z axis. The detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) detects the pressing force or tensile force at that time as the force of the wind and outputs a negative value or a positive value, respectively. To do. Further, by synthesizing the wind force in the Z-axis direction by these detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C), the total wind force and direction (three-dimensional direction in the X-axis-Y-axis-Z-axis direction) can be obtained. Can be measured.

なお、本実施形態では、伝達部材２は、棒状部材からなる第１の伝達部材２１と、平板部材からなる第２の伝達部材２２からなるものとしたが、図７に示すように、平板部材のみからなるものであってもよい。 In the present embodiment, the transmission member 2 is composed of a first transmission member 21 made of a rod-shaped member and a second transmission member 22 made of a flat plate member, but as shown in FIG. 7, the flat plate member It may consist of only.

＜第５の実施形態＞
次に、本発明に係る本装置の第５の実施形態について図８を参照しつつ説明する。 <Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

本実施形態では、前記ディテクタ１は、複数の細長い棒状部材１１がＺ軸の正方向の斜め上方に向けて放射状に延びる態様で形成されている。これによれば、ディテクタ１が強い風を受けた場合、風が各棒状部材１１の間を抜けることにより、過大な力が伝達部材２や検出センサ３にかかることを防止できる。 In the present embodiment, the detector 1 is formed in such a manner that a plurality of elongated rod-shaped members 11 extend radially upward in the positive direction of the Z axis. According to this, when the detector 1 receives a strong wind, it is possible to prevent an excessive force from being applied to the transmission member 2 and the detection sensor 3 by passing the wind between the rod-shaped members 11.

なお、本実施形態において、棒状部材１１とは、ある程度の径を有する剛性物のみならず、毛からなるものなども含む。 In the present embodiment, the rod-shaped member 11 includes not only a rigid material having a certain diameter but also a material made of hair and the like.

以上の各実施形態において、図９に示すように、前記検出センサ３により検出した風の力の大きさに基づいて、風速および／または風向を計測する計測部を備えてもよい。さらに、計測部は、検出センサ３による風の力の大きさの振幅や振幅周期によって風速や風向を計測してもよい。 In each of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, a measuring unit that measures the wind speed and / or the wind direction may be provided based on the magnitude of the wind force detected by the detection sensor 3. Further, the measuring unit may measure the wind speed and the wind direction according to the amplitude and amplitude period of the magnitude of the wind force by the detection sensor 3.

また、前記ディテクタ１は、球体や放射状のものとしたが、その他の形状であってもよい。 Further, although the detector 1 is spherical or radial, it may have other shapes.

また、前記伝達部材２は、棒状部材や平板部材、あるいはそれらの組み合わせからなるものとしたが、その他の形状であってもよい。 Further, the transmission member 2 is made of a rod-shaped member, a flat plate member, or a combination thereof, but may have other shapes.

また、前記伝達部材２は、可撓性部材からなるものとしたが、撓まない部材であってもよい。ただ、伝達部材２が可撓性部材からなる場合、ディテクタが受ける風の力に応じて撓むことにより、検出センサ３に伝達される力を減衰させ得るため、弱い風速環境から強い風速環境の幅広い風速範囲で適用することができる。 Further, although the transmission member 2 is made of a flexible member, it may be a member that does not bend. However, when the transmission member 2 is made of a flexible member, the force transmitted to the detection sensor 3 can be attenuated by bending according to the wind force received by the detector, so that the wind speed environment can be changed from a weak wind speed environment to a strong wind speed environment. It can be applied in a wide range of wind speeds.

また、前記検出センサ３は、１〜３個の検出センサ３を用いるものとしたが、４個以上の検出センサ３を用いてもよい。また、３個の検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）を用いる場合、各検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）を中心から１２０度の角度をなすように配置するものとしたが、その他の配置であってもよい。ただ、３個の検出センサ３（３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃ）を設ける場合、それらを一直線に並ばないように配置すれば、風の大きさや向きを精度良く計測することができる。 Further, although the detection sensor 3 uses 1 to 3 detection sensors 3, 4 or more detection sensors 3 may be used. When three detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) are used, each detection sensor 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) is arranged so as to form an angle of 120 degrees from the center, but other detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) are used. It may be an arrangement. However, when three detection sensors 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) are provided, if they are arranged so as not to line up in a straight line, the magnitude and direction of the wind can be measured with high accuracy.

以上、図面を参照して本発明の実施形態を説明したが、本発明は、図示した実施形態のものに限定されない。図示された実施形態に対して、本発明と同一の範囲内において、あるいは均等の範囲内において、種々の修正や変形を加えることが可能である。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to those of the illustrated embodiments.
