Abstract

[Problem] To provide a system that can control a floating state of a floating object within a production space. [Solution] This production system 100 includes a plurality of air discharge devices 10. The plurality of air discharge devices 10 are configured to generate a clockwise or counterclockwise air flow when viewed in a plan view, within a production space surrounded by air discharge ports 12 of the devices. It is possible to cause an object F to float within the production space by means of the air flow generated by the plurality of air discharge devices 10.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A production system for causing a floating object to float in air; comprising:
 a control device and a plurality of air discharge devices; wherein   the control device controls the plurality of air discharge devices to generate an airflow that rotates clockwise or counterclockwise in plan view within a production space surrounded by air discharge ports of the plurality of air discharge devices, and to cause the floating object to float within the production space by the airflow.   
     
     
         2 . The production system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the floating object is configured by a flexible outer membrane capable of containing a gas.   
     
     
         3 . The production system according to  claim 1 , further comprising an air intake device; wherein
 the air intake device or an air intake port of the air intake device is provided above the production space, so as to take in air discharged by the air discharge devices.   
     
     
         4 . The production system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to detect a position of the floating object in the production space; wherein
 the control device controls air volume or air speed of the air discharge devices based on detection information of the sensor.   
     
     
         5 . A production method that causes a floating object to float in air, comprising
 a step of controlling a plurality of air discharge devices by a control device to generate an airflow that rotates clockwise or counterclockwise in plan view within a production space surrounded by air discharge ports of the plurality of air discharge devices, and to cause a floating object to float within the production space by the airflow.
