Description

  The present invention relates to a graticule used for a telescope and a telescope system including the graticule.

  Conventionally, as a mechanism for supporting an astronomical telescope or the like and adjusting the orientation of the astronomical telescope or the like, a graticule has been used as the simplest one. The graticule is a frame composed of two axes, a horizontal axis and a vertical axis perpendicular to it. The structure is simple, easy to process, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to understand, and is often used as a small-aperture telescope for beginners. ing.

  The graticule can adjust the horizontal direction of the telescope by finely moving the horizontal axis with the handle, and can adjust the altitude of the telescope by finely moving the vertical axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis with the handle. it can. As a typical example of the graduation stand, there is known one that variably supports the altitude of the telescope by an arm called a fork type or a one-handed fork type.

  The fork type graticule has a substantially U-shaped arm, and has a structure that supports the telescope so as to be sandwiched between both ends of the substantially U-shaped arm. The fork-type gratitude platform supports the telescope with two arms and can withstand a large-diameter telescope with a large weight. On the other hand, the structure increases in size and weight, so it is easy for beginners to move and observe. Is unsuitable (see Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, a single-handed fork type graticule has a substantially L-shaped arm, and has a structure in which the telescope is supported in a cantilevered manner by the tip of the substantially L-shaped arm. The one-handed fork-type pedestal is simpler in structure than the fork-type pedestal and is suitable for small-aperture telescopes.

  Many of the gratitude platforms are tripods, etc., so that they do not come into contact with the telescope when the telescope is perpendicular to the horizon, that is, when the telescope is facing the zenith. Inclined from the lower part of the arm connected to the upper part of the arm. That is, a device has been devised in which the telescope can be used to avoid the interference between the telescope and the tripod by shifting the pivot point of the telescope from the fixed part of the graticule and the tripod.

  However, even if a single-handed fork type graticule uses an L-shaped arm with a simple configuration, its storage volume is large. For example, if the minimum volume is required for movement, each part must be disassembled. There arises a problem that it is necessary to carry out the operation, and trouble of movement and assembly occurs.

  In addition, when the arm unit as described above is integrally formed in an L-shape or U-shape, the arm portion cannot be disassembled, and it is difficult to minimize the volume.

  In addition, due to the shape of the arm portion, the gratitude table as described above has a high possibility of interference between the telescope and a support device such as a tripod, resulting in a disadvantage that the movable range of the telescope is narrowed. In order to avoid the interference of the telescope, it is necessary to use a specially shaped arm that holds the telescope at a position deviated from the position of the center of gravity of the system.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a graticule and a telescope system that are simple and easy to use and easy to handle even for beginners, while reducing the size of the graticule to a size suitable for carrying.

Connected to the end and connected to the telescope connection, In which and a second fine movement mechanism capable.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a telescope system according to the present invention includes a telescope main body, a graticule that can change the telescope main body in a desired direction, and a telescope base that supports the telescope main body and the graticule. A base unit that is connected to an external support device, a first fine movement mechanism that is provided on the base unit and that can rotate in the horizontal direction, and a first fine movement mechanism. One end is connected, extends in a horizontal direction from the first fine movement mechanism, and rotates in the horizontal direction with respect to the base portion by the first fine movement mechanism, and other than the first arm member A second arm member extending in a direction perpendicular to the first arm member from the end, the other end of the first arm member and one end of the second arm member are connected, and the first arm member Rotate the second arm member vertically and horizontally A second portion that is connected to the other end of the second arm member and connected to the telescope connecting portion, and is rotatable in the vertical direction. The fine movement mechanism is provided.

  According to such an aspect, it becomes possible to rotate the second arm member in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction to deform the graduation table to the minimum volume, and to rotate the second arm member in the vertical direction. The movable range of the telescope body can be expanded.

The cover member 153 and the fourth cover member 154 are provided with a circular outer peripheral groove 153b and an outer peripheral groove 154b, and are configured to be easily loosened or tightened by hand for the rotational operation described later.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, the second arm member 103 is a substantially planar arm member connected to the connecting portion 104 and extending in the vertical direction. When viewed from the back surface 103a side, the second arm member 103 is provided with an opening 121 at one end and an opening 120 at the other end, as shown in FIG. Similarly, when viewed from the front surface 103b side, the second arm member 103 is provided with an opening 121 at one end and an opening 120 at the other end, as shown in FIG.

  The second arm member 103 can be formed of, for example, a metal material such as aluminum as a lightweight and high-strength member. The second arm member 103 can be easily mass-produced by a technique such as die-casting using an aluminum material. However, as shown in FIG. The structure is such that the midway portion is thinned and the strength is maintained by the ribs 122.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the second arm member 103 has a cover plate 123 that covers the rib 122 in the middle part of the arm structure. The second arm member 103 covers the rib 122 with the cover plate 123, thereby reducing the unevenness on the back surface 103a, facilitating the user's handling, and having a slim structure even in a stylish appearance. Can keep.

The telescope connecting portion 106 is rotated in the horizontal direction with respect to the second arm member 102. That is, when viewed from the entire telescope system 1, the second fine movement mechanism 105 rotates the telescope connection unit 106 in the vertical direction.

  The second fine movement mechanism 105 is provided with a worm gear (not shown) on the fine movement shaft 221. By rotating a worm wheel that meshes with the worm gear, the second fine movement mechanism 105 is connected to a portion connected to the first convex portion 223 and a second convex portion. The part connected to the part 224 is configured to rotate relative to the part. The fine movement shaft 221 is provided with a chamfered portion 221a, and a fine movement handle or the like is attached by screwing or the like using this portion.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 9, the second fine movement mechanism 105 has the same configuration as the first fine movement mechanism 101. Can be expected.

  In the first fine movement mechanism 101 and the second fine movement mechanism 105, a fine movement handle (not shown) is attached to the fine movement shaft 201 and the fine movement shaft 221. However, in addition to the shaft rotation by manual operation of the handle, the motor drive device Needless to say, the shaft may be rotated.

  Next, the telescope connecting portion 106 includes a telescope fixing screw 160, a telescope fixing screw 161, and a groove portion 106a. The convex portion 24 of the telescope body 20 is fitted into the groove portion 106a, and the telescope fixing screws 160 and 161 are screwed in. Thus, the convex portion 24 can be pressed and fixed in the groove portion 106a. As a result, the pedestal table 10 can stably hold the telescope body 20.

  The telescope system 1 configured as described above allows the first arm member 102 and the second arm member 103 of the graduation base 10 to freely rotate in the horizontal rear and vertical directions using the connecting portion 104, respectively. Can do.

  Here, although at least one each of the first claw portion 303 and the second claw portion 304 is necessary in the connecting portion 104, it is preferable to provide a plurality. Since the first claw portion 303 and the second claw portion 304 are engaged with the groove portion 114 of the first arm member 102 and the groove portion 124 of the second arm member 103, a plurality of the first claw portion 303 and the second claw portion 304 can This is because the connection between the arm member 102 and the second arm member 103 can be further strengthened.

  As shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of first claw portions 303 and second claw portions 304 are arranged at equal intervals so as to extend radially around the first support shaft 301 and the second support shaft 302, respectively. I have to. In FIG. 15, the first claw portion 303 and the second claw portion 304 are provided by dividing the circumference into eight equal parts around the first support shaft 301 and the second support shaft 302.

Positioning locations increase in proportion to the number of the groove portions 114 and the groove portions 124, and the first arm member 102 and the second arm member 103 can be finely positioned.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of grooves 114 and 124 are arranged at equal intervals so as to extend radially around the opening 111 and the opening 121. In FIG. 10, the groove 114 and the groove 124 are provided by dividing the circumference into 24 equal parts around the opening 111 and the opening 121, and the first claw 303 and the second claw 304 shown in FIG. 15. The number is three times the number.

[Deformation of the table]
Next, the operation of the weft base 10 will be described in detail based on the rotation operations of the first arm member 102 and the second arm member 103.

  First, it is assumed that the background 10 is in a normal use state as shown in FIG. Therefore, the operation of the theft table 10 will be described from the state shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in the configuration of the telescope system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the graduation table 10 in FIG. 2 is directly above the central portion 32 of the support device 30 so that the telescope body 20 is located at the center of gravity of the support device 30. , And used in such a form as to be located immediately above the base part 100. This configuration is most preferable for stabilizing the center of gravity of the telescope system 1, and is also preferable for stably supporting the telescope main body 20 having a certain weight.

  As a first step, from the state shown in FIG. 2, the third cover member 153 is rotated to loosen the nut portion 153 a, and a slight gap is generated on the connection surface between the connecting portion 104 and the first arm member 102. The gap generated here is not less than the height of the first claw portion 303 of the connecting portion 104. Even when the first claw portion 303 of the connecting portion 104 is disengaged from the groove portion 114 of the first arm member 102 and rides on the back surface 102a of the first arm member 102 when the connecting portion 104 is to be rotated, the connecting portion 104 is connected. This is because the portion 104 can be rotated.

  Then, a gap is generated in the connection surface between the connecting portion 104 and the first arm member 102, and the connecting portion 104 can be rotated in the horizontal direction. It deforms into a shape like this. After the deformation, by tightening the third cover member 153, the first claw portion 303 of the connecting portion 104 and the groove portion 114 of the first arm member 102 are engaged and fixed, and the horizontal rotation operation is performed. Deter.

  As the second step, from the state shown in FIG. 17, the fourth cover member 154 is rotated to loosen the nut portion 154 a, and a slight gap is generated on the connection surface between the connecting portion 104 and the second arm member 103. The gap generated here is not less than the height of the second claw portion 304 of the connecting portion 104. Even when the second claw portion 304 of the connecting portion 104 is disengaged from the groove portion 124 of the second arm member 103 and gets on the back surface 103a of the second arm member 103 when the connecting portion 104 is to be rotated, the connecting portion 104 is connected. This is because the portion 104 can be rotated.

  Then, a gap is generated in the connection surface between the connecting portion 104 and the second arm member 103, and the second arm member 103 is rotated in the left direction in a state where the second arm member 103 can be rotated in the vertical direction. It is deformed into a shape as shown in FIG. 18 by rotating it by the maximum angle within a movable range. After the deformation, by tightening the fourth cover member 154, the second claw portion 304 of the connecting portion 104 and the groove portion 124 of the second arm member 103 are engaged and fixed, and the vertical rotation operation is performed. Deter.

  Regarding the rotation angle of the second arm member 103 in this step, the second fine movement mechanism 105 and the telescope connection unit 106 connected to the other end of the second arm member 103 are connected to the first arm member 102, The range does not contact the first fine movement mechanism 101, the first cover member 151, and the like, but is preferably as close as possible to 90 degrees.

  As the third step, from the state shown in FIG. 18, the fine adjustment shaft 221 of the second fine adjustment mechanism 105 is rotated to rotate the telescope connecting portion 106, and as shown in FIG. 19, the telescope fixing screw 160 and the telescope fixing screw are used. It is moved to a position where 161 does not protrude. Specifically, it is preferable to rotate the telescope connecting portion 106 to a position where the telescope fixing screw 160 and the telescope fixing screw 161 are directed to the connecting portion 104 side. Since there is a dead space on the first arm 102 on the connecting portion 104 side, storing the telescope fixing screw 160 and the telescope fixing screw 161 in this space maximizes the effect of reducing the storage volume of the graduation base 10.

  The graduation table 10 configured as described above has a configuration in which the second arm member 103 can rotate in two axes with respect to the first arm member 102, and thus can have a folding structure that cannot be obtained conventionally. The storage volume can be greatly reduced compared to the history table. Since the storage table 10 has a reduced storage volume, it is easy to carry and handle when moving.

  Further, since the above-described pedestal table 10 is a mechanism that does not require disassembly, it does not need to be reassembled, and it can be handled easily even by a beginner without much effort.

  In addition, since the abutment base 10 configured as described above is configured such that the second arm member 103 can be rotated about two axes with respect to the first arm member 102, the telescope body 20 to be mounted is the abutment base 10 or the support device. 30 can be held at a position that does not interfere with the telescope 30, the movable range of the telescope body 20 can be expanded, and the degree of freedom in observation can be improved.

  In particular, when the telescope body 20 is directed toward the zenith directly above, the second arm 103 is rotated vertically to a position shifted from the center of gravity of the system in order to avoid interference of the telescope body 20, thereby Since the arm 103 can be inclined obliquely, it is not necessary to prepare a specially shaped arm.

[Modification]
As shown in FIG. 20, the theft 10 is a second fine movement on the other end of the second arm member 103 on the side opposite to the side where the second arm member 103 and the connecting portion 104 abut. It is also possible to mount the mechanism 105.

  In this case, in the second fine movement mechanism 105, the first convex portion 223 is inserted into the opening 120 of the second arm member 103 from the surface 103b side and fixed with screws. There is no change.

  The arrangement table 10 can hold the telescope main body 20 at a position where it hardly interferes with the calculation table 10 and the support device 30 by the arrangement as described above, and the movable range of the telescope main body 20 can be expanded. It becomes.

  However, when applying such a modification, it is necessary to select the telescope body 20 having a light weight. This is because, as described above, the telescope main body 20 is held at a position away from the center of gravity of the entire telescope system 1, so that there is a risk of lack of balance. Therefore, it can be said that it is preferable to use the telescope main body 20 that is sufficiently light compared to the theft 10 and the support device 30.

  In the above, this invention was demonstrated based on the Example and the modification. The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described embodiments and modifications are exemplifications, and various additions can be made to combinations of the respective components, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
