Flying object, flying object system, and method for painting object to be painted
A flying object includes: a flying object body; a blade that enables the flying object body to fly; a paint ejection mechanism that ejects paint in a first direction; and a fluid ejection mechanism that ejects a fluid in a second direction differing from the first direction by 90 degrees or more.
1 . A flying object comprising:
a flying object body;
a blade that enables the flying object body to fly;
a paint ejection mechanism that ejects paint in a first direction at a first discharge rate;
a fluid ejection mechanism that ejects a fluid in a second direction differing from the first direction by 90 degrees or more at a second discharge rate, wherein the second discharge rate is determined based on the first direction, the first discharge rate, and the second direction, such that flight of the flying object is stabilized; and
a nozzle provided in a lower portion of the flying object body,
wherein the paint ejection mechanism includes a first ejection port provided at one end of the nozzle, and the fluid ejection mechanism includes a second ejection port provided at the other end of the nozzle;
wherein the one end of the nozzle and the other end of the nozzle are disposed outside of outer ends of the flying object body and outside of a rotational axis of the blade; and
wherein a bottom surface of a lower portion of the nozzle is provided with a paint supply port configured to receive the paint supplied to the flying object from a paint supply container that is external to the flying object, a fluid supply port configured to receive the fluid supplied to the flying object from a fluid supply container that is external to the flying object, a first gas supply port configured to receive a first gas supplied to the flying object from a first air compressor that is external to the flying object to eject the paint from the first ejection port, and a second gas supply port configured to receive a second gas supplied to the flying object from a second air compressor that is external to the flying object to eject the fluid from the second ejection port.
2 . The flying object according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a movable unit that changes an angle formed by the paint ejection mechanism and the fluid ejection mechanism.
3 . The flying object according to claim 2 ,
wherein the movable unit changes the angle formed by the paint ejection mechanism and the fluid ejection mechanism, in a range of 135 degrees to 180 degrees.
4 . The flying object according to claim 1 ,
wherein a tip of the paint ejection mechanism and a tip of the fluid ejection mechanism are located outside an end of the blade with respect to the flying object body.
5 . The flying object according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fluid to be ejected from the fluid ejection mechanism is any one of a gas, a liquid, and powder or a mixture of the gas, the liquid, and the powder.
6 . A flying object system comprising:
the flying object according to claim 1 ; and
a controller that adjusts a timing of ejection of the paint and a timing of ejection of the fluid.
7 . The flying object system according to claim 6 ,
wherein the controller controls a rotation speed of the blade to cause the flying object body to fly.
8 . A flying object system comprising:
the flying object according to claim 1 ; and
wherein the paint is to be transported from the paint supply container to the paint supply port via a paint hose,
the first gas is to be transported from the first air compressor for the paint to the first gas supply port via a first gas hose,
the fluid is to be transported from the fluid supply container to the fluid supply port via a fluid hose, and
the second gas is to be transported from the second air compressor for the fluid to the second gas supply port via a second gas hose.
9 . The flying object system according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a plurality of the flying objects,
wherein the plurality of flying objects are controlled by the controller to paint a plurality of places on an object to be painted.
10 . The flying object according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second direction is a direction opposite the first direction.
11 . A method for painting an object to be painted using the flying object according to claim 1 ,
wherein the paint ejection mechanism ejects the paint in the first direction to paint the object to be painted in a non-contact manner.
12 . A method for painting an object to be painted using the flying object according to claim 10 ,
wherein the paint ejection mechanism ejects the paint in the first direction to paint the object to be painted in a non-contact manner.
13 . The flying object according to claim 1 , wherein the first discharge rate of the paint and the second discharge rate of the fluid are adjustable.
14 . The flying object according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of a discharge nozzle of the first ejection port is 1.3 mm.
15 . The flying object according to claim 14 , wherein a diameter of a discharge nozzle of the second ejection port is 1.3 mm.
