Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hydraulic buoyant force engine in particular, to a mechanism which is capable of generating a mechanical driving power by circulation of several expansion floats sinking down in the water or floating up on the water level by discharging or absorbing the air.
  • the hydraulic buoyant force engine is essentially composed of a track assembly and several expansion floats.
  • the track assembly contains two gourd shaped track ways forming in V shaped structure.
  • Two (first and second) transmission chains circulation railways are provided to each outer side thereof on which the expansion floats are attached in equal spacing along the chains.
  • the air gate of each float is communicated in series with a connecting hose whose output terminal is communicated with an air conducting tube laid on top side of the track assembly for absorbing or discharging the air.
  • the expansion float located at the widely apart portion between the two gourd shaped track ways is expanded by ingress of the air such that the buoyancy of the float overcomes its own weight.
  • the float rises upward along the track ways and causes the chains to move.
  • the expanded float approaches the narrowly apart portion between the two track ways, it is squeezed by the track ways to release the air inside and sinks downward along with the movement of the first and second chains due to loosing of its buoyancy. In this way the chains at both sides of the track assembly keep continuous circulation and the mechanical power is outputted from the output shafts of the chains.
  • an expansion float 1 of the hydraulic buoyant float force engine of the present invention comprises:
  • a first hoop 12, a second hoop 13, and a third hoop 14 respectively embraces around middle portion, left, and right sides of the float body 11.
  • Three stoppers 121, 131, 141 are provided at one end of the hoops 12, 13, 14 respectively, while other ends thereof are locked on the hooks 122, 132, 142 respectively.
  • the hooks 122, 132, 142 are engaged to hasps 123, 133, 143 respectively.
  • Tapped holes 124, 134, 144 formed on the hasps 123, 133, 143 respectively are to be fitted to the corresponding stoppers 121, 131, 141 so as to tie up the hasps 123, 133, 134 with the corresponding stoppers 121, 131, 141 by pressing down the hooks 122, 132, 142.
  • the second and third hoops 13, 14 are engaged with guide vanes 135, 145 respectively, and both sides of the hoops 13, 14 are protected by braces 136, 146 respectively.
  • Two braces 136, 146 are provided with Reels 134, 147 respectively.
  • a supporting stand 15 including a supporting plate 151 is provided at the right end of the float body 11 thereof.
  • Two parallel slide arms 152, 153 are formed at both sides of the supporting plate 151.
  • the inner surfaces of the arms 152, 153 have corresponding in position but different sized first reels 1521, 1531 and second reels 1522, 1532.
  • the supporting plate 151 can be engaged with two guide vanes 135, 145 of the second and third hoops 13, 14 so as to tighten the supporting stand 15 firmly with the second and third hoops 13, 14.
  • a first and a second guide bars 16, 17 whose central portions are respectly engaged with two sides of the first hoop 12 so that the two guide bars 16, 17 are engaged respectively with the front and rear sides of the float body 11, and their both ends perforate the braces 136, 146 laid at both sides of the second and third hoops 13, 14 such that the float body 11 may expand or shrink along the first and second guide bars 16, 17, this expansion/shrinking motion of the float body 11 is facilitated by the aid of the reels 137, 147 provided at the sides of the braces 136, 146.
  • the guide bars 16, 17 are hollow and have inner threads 161, 171.
  • Two first joint plates 18 each with two tapped holes 181, 182 (see Fig. 1) are provided.
  • the two joint plates 18 are jointed to both ends of the first guide bar 16 and engaged with screws 10 by aligning the tapped holes 181, 182 with both ends of the first guide bar 16.
  • Two second joint plates 19 each provided with a tapped hole 191,192 respectively engaged with screw 10 to each end of the second guide bar 17 by aligning the hole 191 with the ends of the second guide bar 17.
  • the transmission mechanism includes a track assembly 2, an air conducting tube 3, two output shafts 51, 52, two chain 61, and two circulation railways 62.
  • the track assembly 2 is composed of two gourd shaped track ways 21, 22 forming in V shaped structure, and are secured by a framework 23.
  • the air conducting tube 3 has an air gate 31 at its proper position thereof.
  • the air conducting tube 3 is perforating near the top portion of the track assembly 2 and emerges its both ends out of the track assembly 2.
  • the two output shafts 51, 52 are each coupled with the corresponding one of the third and fourth sprockets 43, 44 by perforating themselves through bottom portion of the two trackways 21, 22 thereafter the first and the third sprockets 41, 43, and the second and the fourth sprockets 42, 44 are respectively aligned with each other thereby remaining a disconnected section 53 between the two output shafts 51, 52.
  • a first and a second chains 61, 62 are each provided with at least one support strap 611, 621 with tapped hole 6111, 6211.
  • the first chain 61 is coupled with the first and third sprockets 41, 43 while the second chain 62 is coupled with the second and fourth sprockets 42, 43 therfore both outersides of the track assembly 2 are enseized by the chains 61, 62.
  • Each of the two circulation railways 62 are respectively welded to the framework 23 at both sides of the trackassembly 2 so as to secure each circulation railway 62 firmly between the track assembly 2 and the chain 61:
  • the first joint straps 18 at the both sides of the float body 11 are engaged to the joint plates 621 of the second chains 62 with screwing or welding by aligning tapped holes 182 with tapped holes 6211 of the joint straps 621 of the second chains 62 such that the float body 111 is firmly engaged with the chains 62 via joint straps 621.
  • the float body 111 can be firmly engaged with the first chains 61 via second joint plate 19. In this way the float body is set between the first reels 1521, 1531 and the second reels 1522, 1532 of the stand 15 to let the float body 11 circulate along the track ways 21, 22.
  • FIG. 5 in this side view of the present invention, several expansion floats 1 are disposed between the chains 61.
  • One of the floats 1 has a four way coupling 81 jointed to its air gate 112, while the rest of the floats 1 are each provided with a three way coupling 82. All the air gates 112 are linked together with a hose 9 so that all expansion floats 1 can be communicated with one another.
  • the output terminal of the hose 9 is connected to the air conducting tube 3 via four way coupling such that the air can freely flow into or discharge out of the expansion floats via the air tube 3.
  • the hose 9 disposed in the disconnected section 53 between the output shafts 51 and 52 at the bottom portion of the track assembly 2 is for preventing the hose 9 from entangling with the nearby objects during movement of the float 1.
  • Figs. 6A and 6B For understanding the operation of the present invention, reference should be made to Figs. 6A and 6B.
  • the framework 23 of the track assembly 2 is fixed in a water tank 6 to hold the track assembly 2 stationary at its position, and emerg the air conducting tube 3 out of the water level 7 so as to communicate with the outside air.
  • the expansion float 1 sinks under the water level 7 as shown in Fig. 6a, the expansion float 1 located at the widely apart portion between the track ways 21, 22 is expansible to let the air in via the tube 3 so as to build up a buoyant force able to overcome its won weight and floats up.
  • the chains 61, 62 start circulation which in turn activate other expansion floats 1, the first to fourth sprockets 41, 42, 43, 44 the air conducting tube 3, and the output shafts 51, 52 to operate. Since the two track way 21, 22 are located between the first reels 1521, 1531 and the second reels 1522, 1532 of the supporting stand 15, this causes the float 1 can move along the two circulation railways with the sliding blocks 9 at its two sides thereof, and the hose 9 connected to the air gate 112 at one side of the float 1 is crooked around the tube 3 as shown in Fig.5.
  • the hose 9 is straightened as shown in Fig. 6B.
  • the expanded float 1 is now gradually squeezed between the first and the second guide bars 16, 17 to release the air contained inside.
  • the flattened float 1 now sinks down in the water together with the first and second chains 61, 62 by its own weight.
  • Each expansion float 1 carries out this motion one after another along the track assembly 2, and the first and second chains 61, 62 continue to drive the output shafts 51, 52 thereby producing a useful mechanical power.
