Abstract

A hollow cylindrical vessel is submerged in the river and can be maintained at a suitable depth by being attached to two floats which are kept on guide ropes. The vessel has disc valves at its two ends and is attached to an endless chain which passes over end rollers and whose other leg carries a second similar vessel. When the downstream valve is closed and the upstream valve is opened water fills the vessel and carries it in the direction of the stream. During this time the second vessel has both valves open and is moved upstream by the chain. At the end of the movement the valves are changed and the movement is reversed.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entnehmen von Energie aus in Bewegung befindlichen Gewässern, mit Hilfe mittels des Gewässers bewegten Widerstandskörpern.The invention relates to a device for extracting energy from moving bodies of water, with the aid resistance bodies moved by the water.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Vorrichtungen zu schaffen, die zum Entnehmen von Energie, insbesondere aus in langsamer Bewegung befindlichen Gewässern geeignet sind, welche mit HilfeThe object of the invention is to create devices that can be used to extract energy, in particular from slow motion located waters are suitable, which with the help

des Gewässers bewegte Widerstandskörper aufweisen, wobei erfindungsgemäß die Widerstandskörper im Gewässer in Längsrichtung mit der Strömung verschiebbar angeordnet sind und ihre Bewegung zum Zweck der Energieerzeugung mit Hilfe an sich bekannter Mittel genutzt wird.of the water have moving resistance bodies, wherein according to the invention the drag bodies in the water are arranged to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction with the current and their Movement is used for the purpose of generating energy with the help of means known per se.

Die erzeugte Energie kann entweder in mechanischer oder elektrischer Form zu beliebigen Zwecken weiterverwendet oder auch zum Bewegen von Schiffen entgegen der Strömung verwendet werden.The energy generated can be either mechanical or electrical Shape can be used for any purpose or used to move ships against the current.

Nach einem weiteren vorteilhaften Merkmal sind die Widerstandskörper an mindestens einem Band, Kette oder dergl. angeordnet, wobei das Band oder dergl. endlos ausgebildet und um Umkehrtrommeln umlaufend angeordnet ist.According to a further advantageous feature, the resistance bodies are Arranged on at least one belt, chain or the like, the belt or the like being formed endlessly and around reversing drums is arranged circumferentially.

Ferner schlägt die Erfindung vor, die Umkehrtrommeln in Strömungsrichtung entfernt voneinander anzuordnen. Dadurch wird insbesondere bei großen Entfernungen der Umkehrtrommeln erreicht, daß auch aus langsam fließenden Gewässern Energie in wirtschaftlich interessierendem Ausmaß gewonnen werden kann.The invention also proposes the reversing drums in the direction of flow to be arranged away from each other. As a result, the reversing drums are particularly useful when the distance is great achieves that even from slowly flowing waters energy is obtained in an economically interesting extent can be.

Die Achsen der Umkehrtrommeln können beispielsweise mit einem Dynamo zur Erzeugung elektrischer Energie gekuppelt sein.The axes of the reversing drums can be coupled, for example, to a dynamo for generating electrical energy.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung an Hand von Ausführungsbeispielen,mit Hilfe von schematischen Schnittzeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention is illustrated below with the aid of exemplary embodiments Explained in more detail with the help of schematic sectional drawings. Show it:

Fig. 1 die Vorrichtung von der Seite Fig. 2 die Vorrichtung nach Fig. 1, von oben gesehen Fig. 3 eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung1 shows the device from the side; FIG. 2 shows the device according to FIG. 1, seen from above 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Widerstandskörper in Form eines z.B. zylindrischen Behälter 25 in Fig. 2 von oben, in Fig. 1 von der Seite, dargestellt. Der Behälter 25 weist schwenkbare Klappen 26 und 27 auf, mit denen der Durchgang völlig geschlossen oder völlig geöffnet werden kann.In Figs. 1 and 2 a resistor body in the form of, for example, a cylindrical container 25 is shown in Fig. 2 from above, in Fig. 1 from the side, shown. The container 25 has hinged flaps 26 and 27 with which the passage can be fully closed or fully opened.

Der Behälter 25 ist an einem Leitseil 28 angeordnet, das Über Umlenkrollen 34 und 35 (Fig. 3) gefuhrt sein kann und in Strömungsrichtung, Pfeil 29, verlaufend angeordnet ist. Am anderen Seiltrum ist zweckmäßig ein zweiter Behälter 30 angeordnet. Die Behälter 25 und 30 können mit Hilfe von Schwimmkörpern 31 (Fig. 1) und 32, die an einem Leitseil 33 angeordnet und mit jeweils einem Behälter 25 bzw. 30 verbunden sind, im Schwimmzustand gehalten sein.The container 25 is arranged on a guide rope 28, which can be guided over pulleys 34 and 35 (FIG. 3) and is arranged to run in the direction of flow, arrow 29. A second container 30 is expediently arranged on the other side of the rope. The containers 25 and 30 can be arranged on a guide rope 33 with the aid of floating bodies 31 (FIG. 1) and 32 and are each connected to a container 25 and 30, be kept in the floating state.

Wird die Klappe 26 des Behälters 25 geschlossen und die Klappe 27 geöffnet, so füllt sich der Behälter 25 mit Wasser und wird vom Strom in Richtung 29 mitgenommen. Durch die Behälterflüssigkeit wird vom Wasser mehr Antriebsenergie aufgenommen als durch einen Widerstandskörper, der den gleichen Stirnquerschnitt, wie der zylindrische Behälter 25 aufweist. Bei dieser Klappenstellung und Bewegung des Behälters 25 sind die Klappen desIf the flap 26 of the container 25 is closed and the flap 27 is opened, the container 25 fills with water and becomes taken by the stream in the direction of 29. The water in the container absorbs more drive energy than the water a resistor body which has the same end cross section as the cylindrical container 25. With this flap position and movement of the container 25 are the flaps of the

Behälters 30 völlig geöffnet, (Fig. 3), denn er bewegt J^j jetzt dem Strom entgegen und soll den geringsten Widerstand bieten. Wenn beide Behälter in der Endstellung d.h., der eine stromauf und der andere stromab angekommen sind, werden beide Klappen des unteren Behälters geöffnet und die stromab gerichtete Klappe des oberen Körpers geschlossen, sodaß das Arbeitsspiel neu beginnt, Klappenstellqng und Bewegungsumkehr werden in an sich bekannter Art vorzugsweise selbsttätig gesteuert.Container 30 completely open, (Fig. 3), because it now moves J ^ j against the current and should offer the least resistance. When both containers have reached the end position, i.e. one upstream and the other downstream, both flaps of the lower container are opened and the downstream flap of the upper body is closed, so that the work cycle begins anew, flap position and movement reversal are performed in a manner known per se preferably controlled automatically.

Ein anderes interessantes Anwendungsbeispiel des Grundgedankens der Erfindung betrifft die Schiffahrt. Dazu braucht lediglich der Schwimmkörper 31 als Schiff oder Boot 36 bzw. 37 (Fig. 3) ausgebildet oder die Behälter mit einem Boot verbunden sein. Es ist damit möglich, mit Hilfe des Behälters mit der stromab angeordneten geschlossenen Klappe das am anderen Seiltrum angeordnete Boot stromauf zu schleppen. 38 und 39 in Fig. 3 sind Umkehr- bzw. Getrieberäder, die auch als Zwischenglieder zur Abnahme der Strömungsenergie des Wassers dienen können.Another interesting application of the basic idea the invention relates to shipping. For this purpose, only the floating body 31 needs as a ship or boat 36 or 37 (Fig. 3) formed or the container can be connected to a boat. It is thus possible with the help of the container with the downstream arranged closed flap to tow the boat arranged on the other side of the rope upstream. 38 and 39 in Fig. 3 are Reversing or gear wheels, which can also serve as intermediate links to reduce the flow energy of the water.

Die Anordnung von zwei Klappen an jedem Behälter ist nicht in jedem Fall erforderlich. Es genügt in vielen Fällen auch bereits die Anordnung der stromab angeordneten Klappe an jedem Behälter.The arrangement of two flaps on each container is not necessary in every case. In many cases, the arrangement of the downstream flap on each is sufficient Container.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung ist, daß sie praktisch über beliebig lange Flußstrecken sich erstreckend ausgebildet sein können.A major advantage of the device according to the invention is that they can be designed to extend practically over any length of river.

Insbesondere läßt sich die Tandemanordnung nach den Fig. 1-3 bei allen Ausführungsformen mit Steuerklappen verwenden, sodaß stets ein Gefäß oder eine Stauklappe zur gleichen Zeit strom-In particular, the tandem arrangement according to FIGS. 1-3 can be used in all embodiments with control flaps, so that always a vessel or a damper at the same time
