Description
本発明は、鉄道模型用レールクリーニング装置及びレールクリーニング用鉄道模型車両に関する。
The present invention relates to a rail cleaning device for a railroad model and a railroad model vehicle for rail cleaning.
従来より、鉄道模型を趣味等として楽しむことが行われている。鉄道模型では、実際の鉄道車両を模して一定の縮尺で精巧に製作された車両(これを便宜的に模型車両という。)を模型車両用レール(これを便宜的に模型レールという。)上で走行させる。模型車両の走行は、概ね電力によって行われる。電力は、外部電源から模型レールを介して供給される。
Conventionally, it has been enjoyed to enjoy the model train as a hobby. In a railway model, a vehicle (this is referred to as a model vehicle for the sake of convenience) that has been elaborately manufactured at a certain scale, imitating an actual railway vehicle, on a model vehicle rail (this is referred to as a model rail for convenience) Run on. The model vehicle is generally driven by electric power. Electric power is supplied from an external power source via a model rail.
模型レール表面に埃が付着したり汚れたりすると、種々の不具合が発生する可能性がある。例えば、模型車両と模型レールとの間の摩擦抵抗が変化してしまい、模型車両が思ったように走行しない場合がある。また、模型レール上の埃やスパーク等に起因する汚れによって模型レールと車輪との間の電気抵抗が変化してしまい、十分な電力を供給することが難しい場合がある。
If the model rail surface is dusty or dirty, various problems may occur. For example, the frictional resistance between the model vehicle and the model rail may change, and the model vehicle may not travel as expected. In addition, the electrical resistance between the model rail and the wheel may change due to dirt or sparks on the model rail, and it may be difficult to supply sufficient power.
模型レールをクリーニングする方策として、例えば特許文献1,2に開示のものがある。特許文献1は、ハンドルに取り付けられた基礎に清浄パッドが着脱可能に取り付けられたデバイスを開示している。特許文献2は、集塵ファン又は研磨ヘッド等を装備したクリーニング車両を開示している。
For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose measures for cleaning the model rail. Patent Document 1 discloses a device in which a cleaning pad is detachably attached to a foundation attached to a handle. Patent Document 2 discloses a cleaning vehicle equipped with a dust collection fan or a polishing head.
特許文献1に開示のものでは、わざわざこのデバイスを把持してクリーニング作業を行う必要がある。模型レールの延長経路が長い場合は、全経路に亘ってクリーニング作業を行うのは煩雑である。また、トンネル等の手が入らない部分のクリーニング作業が難しいという課題がある。
In the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to perform a cleaning operation by grasping this device. When the extension path of the model rail is long, it is complicated to perform the cleaning operation over the entire path. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to clean a portion where a hand such as a tunnel cannot be reached.
特許文献2に開示のものでは、モータに直結した研磨ヘッドを回転させるため水平方向のトルクが発生する。このトルクによるレールからの逸脱(脱線)を防ぐために比較的大きな錘を搭載することから重量が増し、このクリーニング車両を牽引または推進する強力な動力車を連結する必要がある。さらに、動力車を連結することから、終端近傍までのレールクリーニングは列車を方向転換しなければならない。
In the one disclosed in Patent Document 2, a torque in the horizontal direction is generated because the polishing head directly connected to the motor is rotated. In order to prevent deviation (derailment) from the rail due to this torque, the weight increases because a relatively large weight is mounted, and it is necessary to connect a powerful power vehicle that pulls or propels this cleaning vehicle. Furthermore, since the power vehicle is connected, the rail cleaning to the vicinity of the end must change the direction of the train.
本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、煩雑な手作業によるクリーニング作業を必要とせず、小さなトルクで稼働する鉄道模型用レールクリーニング装置及び軽量かつ自走可能なレールクリーニング用鉄道模型車両を提供することを例示的課題とする。

In the embodiment, a model vehicle 1 will be exemplified and described as a typical example. A rail for a model train (model rail) on which the model vehicle 1 travels is referred to as amodel rail 2.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a railway model S according to the embodiment. In the embodiment, a model vehicle 1 will be exemplified and described as a typical example. A rail for a model train (model rail) on which the model vehicle 1 travels is referred to as a
本実施形態の鉄道模型用レールのクリーニング装置3(図2参照)を備えた模型車両1について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、図1に示すように、模型車両1の進行方向を前後方向とし、模型レール2から模型車両1を見た方向を上方向、その逆方向を下方向とする。模型車両1を正面から見て左右方向を定義し、左右方向を幅方向ということもある。
A model vehicle 1 equipped with a railroad model rail cleaning device 3 (see FIG. 2) according to this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the traveling direction of the model vehicle 1 is the front-rear direction, the direction in which the model vehicle 1 is viewed from the model rail 2 is the upward direction, and the opposite direction is the downward direction. The left-right direction is defined when the model vehicle 1 is viewed from the front, and the left-right direction is sometimes referred to as the width direction.
模型車両(レールクリーニング用鉄道模型車両)1は、複数の車輪4を有する。車輪4は、模型レール2の表面を転動するようになっている。模型車両1の内部には、クリーニング装置3が備えられている。図2は、クリーニング装置3の概略構成図である。図2は、模型車両1を正面から見た方向で図示しており、説明容易のために、模型車両1の内部の様子を示している。図3は、模型車両1の底部を下から見た拡大図である。
The model vehicle (rail model vehicle for rail cleaning) 1 has a plurality of wheels 4. The wheel 4 rolls on the surface of the model rail 2. A cleaning device 3 is provided inside the model vehicle 1. FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the cleaning device 3. FIG. 2 shows the model vehicle 1 as viewed from the front, and shows the inside of the model vehicle 1 for ease of explanation. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the bottom of the model vehicle 1 as viewed from below.
クリーニング装置3は、モータ5、偏芯部材6、ベアリング(保持部材)7、取付部材8を有して構成される。モータ5は、電力を供給することによりモータ軸(直交軸)5aを回転させることが可能であり、モータ軸5aは、上下方向に沿って下方に向けて延びるように配置されている。すなわち、モータ軸5aは、2本の模型レール2の表面を含む平面Pに直交する方向に沿って延びている。モータ5は、模型車両1内で、自重によりクリーニング面8cが模型レール2表面に接触するように配置されている。例えば、図2に示すように、モータ5が床板10を貫通し、床板10上でモータ5が上下動可能に保持されていてもよい。
The cleaning device 3 includes a motor 5, an eccentric member 6, a bearing (holding member) 7, and an attachment member 8. The motor 5 can rotate the motor shaft (orthogonal shaft) 5a by supplying electric power, and the motor shaft 5a is disposed so as to extend downward along the vertical direction. That is, the motor shaft 5 a extends along a direction orthogonal to the plane P including the surfaces of the two model rails 2. The motor 5 is disposed in the model vehicle 1 so that the cleaning surface 8c contacts the surface of the model rail 2 by its own weight. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the motor 5 may pass through the floor plate 10, and the motor 5 may be held on the floor plate 10 so as to be movable up and down.
モータ軸5aには偏芯部材6が取り付けられている。偏芯部材6の取付けは、圧入、接着、熱カシメ等種々の方策による固定であってよい。偏芯部材6は、外周と中央孔とを有する大略ドーナツ形状を呈しており、中央孔が外周のセンターに対して一定程度ズレて(偏芯して)いる。モータ軸5aが回転することにより、偏芯部材6の外周が偏芯的に回転することとなり、その偏芯動作が後述する取付部材8の偏芯運動の動力となる。なお、モータ5と偏芯部材6とが偏芯機構9を構成する。つまり、偏芯機構9が、平面P内において、模型レール2の幅方向や前後方向を含む全方向に円周運動的に取付部材8を偏芯運動させる。
The eccentric member 6 is attached to the motor shaft 5a. The attachment of the eccentric member 6 may be fixed by various measures such as press fitting, adhesion, and heat caulking. The eccentric member 6 has a generally donut shape having an outer periphery and a center hole, and the center hole is offset (eccentric) by a certain amount with respect to the center of the outer periphery. When the motor shaft 5a rotates, the outer periphery of the eccentric member 6 rotates eccentrically, and the eccentric operation becomes the power of the eccentric movement of the mounting member 8 described later. The motor 5 and the eccentric member 6 constitute an eccentric mechanism 9. That is, the eccentric mechanism 9 causes the mounting member 8 to eccentrically move in the circumferential direction in the plane P in all directions including the width direction and the front-rear direction of the model rail 2.
ベアリング7は、平面Pに直交するモータ軸5a周りに取付部材8を回転自在に保持するものである。ベアリング7の内輪に偏芯部材6が嵌入され、ベアリング7の外輪が取付部材8の貫通孔8aに嵌入している。モータ軸5aが回転すると、偏芯部材6の作用により、取付部材8は偏芯振動する。このとき、取付部材8はベアリング7によってモータ軸5aに対して自由回転可能とされているので、取付部材8自体がモータ軸5aと同期して回転しない。
The bearing 7 holds the mounting member 8 rotatably around the motor shaft 5a orthogonal to the plane P. The eccentric member 6 is fitted into the inner ring of the bearing 7, and the outer ring of the bearing 7 is fitted into the through hole 8 a of the mounting member 8. When the motor shaft 5a rotates, the mounting member 8 vibrates eccentrically by the action of the eccentric member 6. At this time, since the attachment member 8 is freely rotatable with respect to the motor shaft 5a by the bearing 7, the attachment member 8 itself does not rotate in synchronization with the motor shaft 5a.
取付部材8は、図4に示すように、貫通孔8aと円盤部8bとを有している。貫通孔8aは円形の中心近傍に形成されており、貫通孔8a内にベアリング7が嵌入される。ベアリング7は貫通孔8a内に、圧入、接着、熱カシメ等の方法により固定される。
The mounting member 8 has a through hole 8a and a disk portion 8b as shown in FIG. The through hole 8a is formed near the center of the circle, and the bearing 7 is fitted into the through hole 8a. The bearing 7 is fixed in the through hole 8a by a method such as press fitting, adhesion, or heat caulking.
貫通孔8aと円盤部8bとは同心に形成されている。円盤部8bの下面(底面)はクリーニング面8cとされている。クリーニング面8cは、研磨フィルム8dを保持し、研磨フィルム8dが模型レール2の表面に接触することにより模型レール2の表面をクリーニングする機能を有する。
The through hole 8a and the disk portion 8b are formed concentrically. The lower surface (bottom surface) of the disk portion 8b is a cleaning surface 8c. The cleaning surface 8 c has a function of holding the polishing film 8 d and cleaning the surface of the model rail 2 when the polishing film 8 d comes into contact with the surface of the model rail 2.
研磨フィルム8dは、粒度が1μm以下の細かいものが好ましい。クリーニング面8cが不規則な軌道を描いて移動する。モータ5にトルクの小さい小型のモータを適用することができる。研磨に伴う模型車両1の走行抵抗の増大が少なくて済む。クリーニングに伴い模型車両1が脱線してしまうリスクが減少し、模型車両1の重量を軽量化することができる。重量増大のための錘を模型車両1に搭載する必要がない。
The polishing film 8d is preferably a fine one having a particle size of 1 μm or less. The cleaning surface 8c moves in an irregular orbit. A small motor with a small torque can be applied to the motor 5. There is little increase in running resistance of the model vehicle 1 due to polishing. The risk that the model vehicle 1 is derailed with cleaning is reduced, and the weight of the model vehicle 1 can be reduced. There is no need to mount a weight for increasing the weight on the model vehicle 1.
<クリーニング装置の動作>
この模型車両1を用いて模型レール2のクリーニングを実行する場合において、モータ軸5aが回転開始すると、偏芯部材6の作用、および研磨フィルム8dと模型レール2の摩擦抵抗により取付部材8が不規則に振動する。取付部材8は、モータ軸5a周りに非同期かつゆっくりとした回転を行う。その偏芯部材6による偏芯運動と回転運動とを合成した合成軌跡Tは図3に示すようになる。図3に示す合成軌跡Tは、研磨フィルム8d上の任意の1点の、モータ5の回転による移動軌跡を示したものである。取付部材8がこの合成軌跡Tのような移動を呈することにより、研磨フィルム8dの特定の部分のみがクリーニングに用いられることなく、研磨フィルム8dの大部分が万遍なくクリーニングに用いられることとなる。 <Operation of cleaning device>
When themodel rail 2 is cleaned using the model vehicle 1, when the motor shaft 5 a starts to rotate, the mounting member 8 is not allowed due to the action of the eccentric member 6 and the frictional resistance between the polishing film 8 d and the model rail 2. Vibrates regularly. The attachment member 8 rotates asynchronously and slowly around the motor shaft 5a. A combined trajectory T obtained by combining the eccentric motion and the rotational motion by the eccentric member 6 is as shown in FIG. A synthetic trajectory T shown in FIG. 3 shows a movement trajectory of one arbitrary point on the polishing film 8d by the rotation of the motor 5. When the attachment member 8 moves like the synthetic locus T, only a specific portion of the polishing film 8d is used for cleaning, and most of the polishing film 8d is used for cleaning all over. .
この模型車両1を用いて模型レール2のクリーニングを実行する場合において、モータ軸5aが回転開始すると、偏芯部材6の作用、および研磨フィルム8dと模型レール2の摩擦抵抗により取付部材8が不規則に振動する。取付部材8は、モータ軸5a周りに非同期かつゆっくりとした回転を行う。その偏芯部材6による偏芯運動と回転運動とを合成した合成軌跡Tは図3に示すようになる。図3に示す合成軌跡Tは、研磨フィルム8d上の任意の1点の、モータ5の回転による移動軌跡を示したものである。取付部材8がこの合成軌跡Tのような移動を呈することにより、研磨フィルム8dの特定の部分のみがクリーニングに用いられることなく、研磨フィルム8dの大部分が万遍なくクリーニングに用いられることとなる。 <Operation of cleaning device>
When the
模型車両1を模型レール2上で走行させる。モータ5の自重により、研磨フィルム8dが一定程度の接触圧で模型レール2の表面に接触しつつ模型車両1が走行する。小型で軽量のモータ5を用いることで研磨フィルム8dと模型レール2表面との接触圧を小さい接触圧とすることができ、軽い接触圧でのクリーニングが可能である。
The model vehicle 1 is run on the model rail 2. The model vehicle 1 travels while the polishing film 8d is in contact with the surface of the model rail 2 with a constant contact pressure by the weight of the motor 5. By using the small and light motor 5, the contact pressure between the polishing film 8d and the surface of the model rail 2 can be reduced, and cleaning with a light contact pressure is possible.
模型車両1が走行しつつ模型レール2の表面をクリーニングするので、手作業による煩雑なクリーニングを行うことなく、長距離の模型レール2であっても、トンネル内の模型レール2であっても、手軽にクリーニングを行うことができる。
Since the surface of the model rail 2 is cleaned while the model vehicle 1 is traveling, the model rail 2 in a long distance or the model rail 2 in the tunnel can be used without complicated manual cleaning. Easy cleaning.
モータ軸5aの回転により、研磨フィルム8dは幅方向(左右方向)にも前後方向にも(すなわち、平面P内で)偏芯運動(振動)する。そして、模型レール2の表面と研磨フィルム8dとの摩擦抵抗の変化に影響されて、研磨フィルム8dは振動しつつモータ軸5a周りにも回転し、合成軌跡Tのような軌道で移動する。研磨フィルム8dの大部分を万遍なく、効率よく使用しながら、模型レール2のクリーニングを行うことができる。
By the rotation of the motor shaft 5a, the polishing film 8d is eccentrically moved (vibrated) both in the width direction (left-right direction) and in the front-back direction (that is, in the plane P). Under the influence of the change in frictional resistance between the surface of the model rail 2 and the polishing film 8d, the polishing film 8d rotates around the motor shaft 5a while oscillating, and moves along a track such as the combined track T. The model rail 2 can be cleaned while using most of the polishing film 8d uniformly and efficiently.
