Abstract

The invention relates to a spherical working chamber and to two flat rotary pistons as internally turning, rotating pistons that are used to produce energy, which flat rotary pistons are driven by means of a descent of creeks, rivers or gray water and rainwater from high-rise buildings. Because of the even rotation of the output shaft of the flange-mounted transmission, an electrical generator can be connected. The energy converter plus generator can also be used as a mobile unit in emergency situations at waterfalls in order to generate electricity.

Description

Beschreibung  description
[001] Die Erfindung betrifft einen spährischen Energiekonverter für Stromerzeugung mit einem Gehäuse, das einen rotationssymmetrischen Arbeitsraum begrenzt.  The invention relates to a spährischen energy converter for power generation with a housing which limits a rotationally symmetrical working space.
Ein doppelter Satz identischer Rachdrehkolben an konzentrischen Achsen in einer sphärischen Arbeitskammer bietet einen hohen Wirkungsgrad in kompakter Bauweise für Ruide.  A double set of identical Rachdrehkolben concentric axes in a spherical working chamber offers high efficiency in a compact design for Ruide.
Die Erfindung betrifft die Energieumwandlung von Fluidmassen in mechanische Energie, die weiter in elektrische Energie umgewandelt werden kann.  The invention relates to the energy conversion of fluid masses into mechanical energy, which can be further converted into electrical energy.
Insbesondere handelt es sich um Generatoren mit kugelförmiger Arbeitskammer und Flachdrehkolben als innen drehende Kolben.  In particular, there are generators with spherical working chamber and flat rotary piston as internally rotating piston.
[002] Hintergrund der Erfindung Background of the invention
Es gibt ein paar Vorschläge für Energieumwandlungsmaschinen mit sphärischer  There are a few suggestions for energy conversion machines with spherical
Arbeitskammer, die - zumindest theoretisch - die effektivste und kompakteste Konstruktionen sind. Working chamber, which - at least theoretically - are the most effective and compact designs.
Allerdings hat bisher keine Konstruktion die theoretischen Erwartungen und Ziele erreicht.  However, no construction has yet reached the theoretical expectations and goals.
[003] Stand der Technik [003] State of the art
Ein paar Rechte an geistigem Eigentum und Anwendungen beziehen sich auf rotierende Kolbenmaschinen und einige davon auf die spezielle Form von sphärischen Arbeitskammern wie in GB 2052 639 und DE 26 08 479. Bei denen eine Arbeitskammer oder Pumpenkammer räumlich durch eine Kolbenplatte getrennt ist in mehrere Kammervolumen, die durch ihre Drehung um zwei Achsen verändert werden.  Some intellectual property rights and applications relate to rotary piston machines and some of them to the special form of spherical working chambers as in GB 2052 639 and DE 26 08 479. In which a working chamber or pumping chamber is spatially separated by a piston plate into a plurality of chamber volumes, which are changed by their rotation about two axes.
Dies kann erreicht werden, indem man sie in Keilnuten innerhalb der Wand der  This can be achieved by placing them in splines inside the wall of the wall
Arbeitskammer wie in Wobble-Ring-Pumpen (z. B. US 3,549,286) führt. Working chamber as in wobble ring pumps (eg US 3,549,286) leads.
Es wurde jedoch gezeigt, dass solche Wobbelbewegungen in Schlitzführungen nur für niedrige Drehzahlen und vorzugsweise als Pumpen für hochviskose Medien möglich sind. So kann es in Antriebsmaschinen nicht angewendet werden, da die Kolbenplatten zwangsläufig in den Nuten eingeklemmt werden, wenn die Druckbelastung nicht gleichmäßig zunimmt. However, it has been shown that such sweeping movements are possible in slot guides only for low speeds and preferably as pumps for highly viscous media. So it can not be used in prime mover, since the piston plates are inevitably trapped in the grooves when the pressure load does not increase evenly.
Die PCT / NL 2011/050 475 bzw. WO 2012/002816 scheint eine Lösung für das Problem zu sein, obwohl die Kombination mehrerer konzentrischer Kammersegmente mit der PCT / NL 2011/050 475 or WO 2012/002816 seems to be a solution to the problem, although the combination of several concentric chamber segments with the
Kolbenplatte einen stark segmentierten Bewegungsablauf mit unterschiedlichen Piston plate a highly segmented movement with different
Druckniveaus erzeugt, der sie zwingt, durch die Kombination mehrerer Rotationskammem gesteuert zu werden. Aber das bedeutet natürlich viel mehr technische Anstrengung. Creates pressure levels that forces it to be controlled by the combination of multiple rotation chambers. But of course that means a lot more technical effort.
Darüber hinaus ist aus der DE 20 2009 016 021 U1 auch ein Verbrennungsmotor mit mehreren um eine Achse bewegbaren kreis- oder halbkreisförmigen Kolbenscheiben bekannt.  In addition, DE 20 2009 016 021 U1 also discloses an internal combustion engine having a plurality of circular or semicircular piston disks which are movable about an axis.
Allerdings gibt es ein Problem mit der Menge an Abwärme eines Verbrennungsmotors. Die Ableitung von der relativ kleinen Fläche einer kugelförmigen Arbeitskammer allein reicht bei der Kühlung kaum aus, wenn nicht wesentliche Anstrengungen in ein Druckkühlsystem eingebracht werden, was andererseits dem Wirkungsgrad entgegenwirkt. However, there is a problem with the amount of waste heat of an internal combustion engine. The Deriving from the relatively small area of a spherical working chamber alone is hardly sufficient for cooling, unless significant efforts are made in a pressure cooling system, which on the other hand counteracts the efficiency.
Darüber hinaus erbt diese Konstruktion eine segmentierte Bewegung, die von Stoppern unterbrochen wird, was nicht nur die Effizienz verringert, sondern auch mechanische Probleme verursacht.  In addition, this design inherits a segmented motion that is interrupted by stoppers, which not only reduces efficiency but also causes mechanical problems.
Zusammen mit der schlagartigen Bewegung von flachen Schaufeln führt dies zu schädlichen Schwingungsmusfem.  Together with the sudden movement of flat blades, this leads to damaging vibration patterns.
[004]Aufgabe der Erfindung [004] Object of the invention
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein System bereitzustellen, das in der Lage ist, Energie effizient in Form von fließenden oder gasförmigen Massen in Rotation umzuwandeln und so effizient in elektrische Energie umzuwandeln.  It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a system which is capable of efficiently converting energy into rotation in the form of flowing or gaseous masses and thus efficiently converting it into electrical energy.
[005]Lösung / erfinderischer Schritt Solution / inventive step
Die Grundkonstruktion bezieht sich daher auf die DE 2 2009016 021 U1 , die von dem gleichen Erfinder stammt.  The basic construction therefore relates to DE 2 2009016 021 U1, which originates from the same inventor.
A) Es gibt keinen intermittierenden Stopp mehr durch die Arretiereinrichtungen. A) There is no intermittent stop by the locking devices.
B) Die Flachdrehkolben sind identisch verzogen, um der Resonanz zu widerstehen, so dass Schwingungen unwahrscheinlich sind und sich nicht ausbreiten. B) The flat rotary pistons are identically warped to withstand resonance so that vibrations are unlikely and do not propagate.
C) Die Anwendung richtet sich nun an Wasserturbinen und Luftdrucksysteme, die im Gegensatz zur Anwendung von Explosionsmaschinen mit einer gleichbleibenden Belastung ihrer Medien arbeiten. C) The application is now directed to water turbines and air pressure systems, which, in contrast to the use of explosion engines, work with a constant load on their media.
Aber die grundlegenden Vorteile der sphärischen Arbeitskammem und Schaufeln in ihm bleiben erhalten: hohe Effizienz, aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Reibung der Schaufeln in einer Kugel viel weniger sind im Vergleich zu Kolben in einem Zylinder, oder andere, noch weniger effektive Designs.  But the basic advantages of the spherical working combs and vanes in it remain preserved: high efficiency, due to the fact that the friction of the vanes in a bullet are much less compared to pistons in a cylinder, or other, even less effective designs.

[017] Der in Fiq. 8 gezeigte sphärische Energiekonverter besteht aus einem Gehäuse 1 das einen kugelförmigen Arbeitsraum begrenzt. [017] The in Fiq. 8 spherical energy converter consists of a housing 1 which limits a spherical working space.
In dem Gehäuse 1 sind 2 Hohlwellen 3a und 3b gelagert, deren Achsen mit einem  In the housing 1 2 hollow shafts 3a and 3b are mounted, whose axes with a
Durchmesser des kugelförmigen Gehäuses 1 zusammenfallen. Diameter of the spherical housing 1 coincide.
Wie aus Fiq. 5 hervorgeht, sind die Hohlwellen 3a und 3b auf dder Welle 2 aufgeschoben. Die sphärischen Flachdrehkolben 4 und 5 sind jeweils mit der Hohlwelle 3a und 3b fest verbunden. Möglich wären schweißen, aus einem Stück gießen oder als ein Teil fräsen.  As from Fiq. 5, the hollow shafts 3a and 3b are pushed onto the shaft 2. The spherical flat rotary pistons 4 and 5 are fixedly connected respectively to the hollow shaft 3a and 3b. It would be possible to weld, pour out of one piece or mill as one part.
Die Hohlwelle 3a wird durch Keilnut, Bolzen oder anschweißen auf der Welle 2 drehfest verbunden, während die Hohlwelle 3b drehbar gelagert bleibt. The hollow shaft 3a is rotatably connected by keyway, bolt or weld on the shaft 2, while the hollow shaft 3b is rotatably supported.
[018] Die beiden sphärischen Flachdrehkolben haben ein kreisförmiges Profil, so dass sie an der Innenwand des Gehäuses 1 dichtend anliegen. Genauer gesagt besteht jeder sphärische Flachdrehkolben 4,5 aus zwei sphärischen halbkreisförmigen Flügeln. Die beiden sphärischen Flügel sind in der ersten Hälfte des geraden Bereichs ihrer Grundlinie mit der Hohlwelle 3a und 3b drehtest verbunden. Die zweite Hälfte der Grundlinie gleitet dichtend über die gegenüberliegende Hohlwelle 3a oder 3b. The two spherical flat rotary pistons have a circular profile, so that they rest sealingly against the inner wall of the housing 1. More specifically, each spherical flat rotary piston 4, 5 consists of two spherical semicircular blades. The two Spherical wings are in the first half of the straight portion of their baseline connected to the hollow shaft 3a and 3b rotatably. The second half of the baseline slides sealingly over the opposite hollow shaft 3a or 3b.
Die beiden sphärischen Flachdrehkolben 4,5 begrenzen somit in dem Gehäuse 1 insgesamt 4 Kammern I, II, III und IV wie in Fiq. 1-4 gezeigt.  The two spherical flat rotary lobes 4.5 thus limit in the housing 1 a total of 4 chambers I, II, III and IV as in Fiq. 1-4 shown.
[019] Wie in Fiq. 10 gezeigt, ist in den Dichtflächen der sphärischen Flachdrehkolben 4,5 eine Nut ausgespart, in die eine Dichtung 18 eingesetzt ist. As shown in FIG. 10, a groove is recessed in the sealing surfaces of the spherical flat rotary piston 4, in which a seal 18 is inserted.
[020] Wie in Fiq. 5 dargestellt, ist die Hohlwelle 3b mit dem äußeren rechten Ende über eine Freilaufkupplung 14 mit dem Zahnrad 6 verbunden, und mit dem aus der Hohlwelle 3a herausragendem äußeren Ende der Welle 2 ist ein Zahnrad 7 über eine Freilaufkupplung 15 verbunden. As shown in FIG. 5, the hollow shaft 3b is connected to the outer right end via an overrunning clutch 14 to the gear 6, and with the protruding from the hollow shaft 3a outer end of the shaft 2, a gear 7 via a one-way clutch 15 is connected.
Die beiden Zahnräder 6 und 7 kämmen mit einem Zahnrad 8, das mit einer zu den Wellen 2,3 parallelen Abtriebswelle 9 drehfest verbunden ist.  The two gears 6 and 7 mesh with a gear 8 which is rotatably connected to a parallel to the waves 2,3 output shaft 9.
[021] Funktionsweise [021] Operation
Fiq. 1 Das Medium (Gas oder flüssig) tritt permanent durch die Einlassöffnungen 10 in die Kammern I und III ein.  Fiq. 1 The medium (gas or liquid) enters the chambers I and III permanently through the inlet openings 10.
Dementsprechend wird der Flachdrehkolben 4 in Drehrichtung vorwärts getrieben, während der hintere Flachdrehkolben 5 dann rückwärts angetrieben würde. Da sich jedoch ein Freilauflager 13 in Fiq. 5 zwischen der Hohlwelle 3b und dem Gehäuse 1 in Fiq. 7.8 einschaltet, ist der Flachdrehkolben 5 am Rückwärtsdrehen blockiert.  Accordingly, the flat rotary piston 4 is driven in the direction of rotation, while the rear flat rotary piston 5 would then be driven backwards. However, since a freewheel bearing 13 in Fiq. 5 between the hollow shaft 3b and the housing 1 in Fiq. 7.8 turns on, the flat rotary piston 5 is blocked from reverse rotation.
Wenn der vordere Flachdrehkolben 4 nach vome gedrückt wird, steht das Medium in II und IV unter Druck, und wird über die Auslassöffriungen 11 ausgepresst.  When the front flat rotary piston 4 is pushed forward, the medium in II and IV is under pressure, and is squeezed out through the outlet ports 11. *** "
Durch die Drehbewegung des Rachdrehkolben 4 siehe Fiq. 2 der drehfest mit der Hohlwelle 3a und der Welle 2 verbunden ist wird über dem blockierten Klemmkörperfreilauf 15 das Zahnrad 7 angetrieben.  By the rotational movement of the Rachdrehkolben 4 see Fiq. 2 which is rotatably connected to the hollow shaft 3a and the shaft 2, the gear 7 is driven via the blocked sprag freewheel 15.
Das Zahnrad 7 gibt durch die Einkämmung die Drehbewegung an das Abtriebs- Zahnrad 8 weiter und die an das Abtriebs- Zahnrad 8 befestigte Abtriebswelle 9 dreht sich.  The gear 7 is through the mesh rotation to the output gear 8 on and attached to the driven gear 8 output shaft 9 rotates.
Sobald die Welle 2 nach dem Arbeitshub anhält, kann sich das Zahnrad 7 durch den Klemmkörperfreilauf 15 weiter auf der Welle drehen. Ein Weiterschieben des  Once the shaft 2 stops after the power stroke, the gear 7 can rotate through the sprag clutch 15 continues on the shaft. A push on the
Flachdrehkolben 5 wie in Fiq.4 ersichtlich, kann durch folgende Möglichkeiten erreicht werden: Flat rotary piston 5 as shown in Fiq.4, can be achieved by the following options:
A) Ein Anschlagbolzen 16 der am Flachdrehkolben 4 befestigt ist, drückt den  A) A stop pin 16 which is attached to the flat rotary piston 4, presses the
Flachdrehkolben 5 in die nächste Position. B) Auf der Hohlwelle 3b und der Welle 2 wird je eine Schwungscheibe 19 Fiq.11 befestigt, die die Flachdrehkolben über den Totpunkt schieben. Flat rotary piston 5 in the next position. B) On the hollow shaft 3b and the shaft 2, a respective flywheel 19 Fiq.11 is attached, which push the flat rotary piston over the dead center.
Sobald der Flachdrehkolben 5 über die Einlässe 11 gedreht wird, wird der Druck in den Kammern II und IV aufgebaut. As soon as the flat rotary piston 5 is rotated via the inlets 11, the pressure in the chambers II and IV is established.
Jetzt wird der Flachdrehkolben 5 in Drehrichtung vorwärts getrieben, während der hintere Flachdrehkolben 4 der mit dem Klemmkörperfreilauf 12 in Fig. 5 drehfest verbunden ist am Ausweichen in die Gegenrichtung gehindert wird.  Now the flat rotary piston 5 is driven in the direction of rotation, while the rear flat rotary piston 4 which is rotatably connected to the sprag free-wheel 12 in Fig. 5 is prevented from dodging in the opposite direction.
Der Klemmkörperfreilauf 12 ist in das Gehäuse 1 eingesetzt und gegen Verdrehung gesichert.  The sprag freewheel 12 is inserted into the housing 1 and secured against rotation.
Wenn der Flachdrehkolben 5 nach vome gedrückt wird, steht das Medium in I und III unter Druck, und wird über die Auslassöffnungen 10 ausgepresst.  When the flat rotary piston 5 is pushed forward, the medium in I and III is under pressure and is squeezed out through the outlet openings 10.
Durch die Drehbewegung des Flachdrehkolben 5 siehe Fig. 4 der drehfest mit der Hohlwelle 3 verbunden ist wird über dem blockierten Klemm- körperffeilauf 14 (nicht sichtbar im Zahnrad 6) das Zahnrad 6 angetrieben.  By the rotational movement of the flat rotary piston 5, see FIG. 4, which is non-rotatably connected to the hollow shaft 3, the gear 6 is driven via the blocked pin body 14 (not visible in the gear 6).
Das Zahnrad 6 gibt durch die Einkämmung die Drehbewegung an das Abtriebs- Zahnrad 8 weiter und die an das Abtriebs- Zahnrad 8 befestigte Arbeitswelle 9 dreht sich.  The gear 6 passes through the meshing the rotational movement of the output gear 8 on and attached to the output gear 8 working shaft 9 rotates.
Sobald die Hohlwelle 3 nach dem Arbeitshub anhält, kann sich das Zahnrad 6 durch den Klemmkörperfreilauf 14 weiter auf der Welle drehen. Dieser Vorgang wird kontinuierlich wiederholt.  Once the hollow shaft 3 stops after the power stroke, the gear 6 can rotate through the sprag clutch 14 continues on the shaft. This process is repeated continuously.
[022] Wie dies vorstehend erläutert wurde, kommt es beim Betrieb des spährischen [022] As explained above, the operation of the spice takes place

Auf die Energy generator to a gradual rotation of the two flat rotary piston 4,5 wherein alternately one of the two flat rotary piston performs a power stroke. On the
Hohlwelle 3b und die Welle 2 wird daher abwechselnd ein Arbeitsdrehmoment im Hollow shaft 3b and the shaft 2 is therefore alternately a working torque in
Uhrzeigersinn ausgeübt. Die den beiden Zahnrädern zugeordneten Klemmkörperfreiläufe 14,15 sind wirksam, damit die Welle 2 oder die Hohlwelle 3b auf das zugeordnete Zahnrad 6 oder 7 in einer Drehrichtung ein Antriebsdrehmoment übertragen kann.

The two-gear associated sprag 14,15 are effective so that the shaft 2 or the hollow shaft 3b can be transmitted to the associated gear 6 or 7 in a rotational direction of a drive torque. One of the

Über den Abstand zwischen dem Auslass 10 und der Einlassöffnung 11 am Gehäuse 1 kann die Bremswirkung zwischen den Flachkolben 4,5 bestimmt werden.  About the distance between the outlet 10 and the inlet opening 11 on the housing 1, the braking effect between the flat piston can be determined 4.5.
[023] Die spährisch verformten Flachdrehkolben Fig. 9 können der Resonanz entgegen wirken, so dass Schwingungen unwahrscheinlich sind und sich nicht ausbreiten. [025] Die an der Innenfläche des Gehäuses 1 anliegende halbkreisförmige Dichtung 18 Fig. 10 ist vorzugsweise mit Vorspannung in die entsprechende Nut des Flachdrehkoiben 4,5 eingesetzt, damit sie sich bei zunehmenden Verschleiß radial ausdehnen kann, so dass die Dichtwirkung erhalten bleibt. The sparsely deformed flat rotary pistons Fig. 9 can counteract the resonance, so that vibrations are unlikely and do not propagate. [025] The semi-circular seal 18 Fig. 10 which bears against the inner surface of the housing 1 is preferably inserted preloaded into the corresponding groove of the flat turning wafers 4,5, so that it can expand radially with increasing wear, so that the sealing effect is maintained.
[026] Mit Absperrschiebern 20 Fiq.12 an den Flachkolben können die Steuerzeiten und somit der Wirkungsgrad optimiert werden. [026] With gate valves 20 Fiq.12 to the flat piston, the timing and thus the efficiency can be optimized.
[027] Durch das Anbringen von Sensoren 22 und elektronisch gesteuerten Magnetventilen 21 am Einlass 11 und 12 Fiq.13 kann die Effizienz gesteigert werden. By attaching sensors 22 and electronically controlled solenoid valves 21 at the inlet 11 and 12 Fiq.13, the efficiency can be increased.
[028] Hier sind ein paar Vorschläge für den sphärischen Energiekonverter: [028] Here are a few suggestions for the spherical energy converter:
A) Im Untergeschoß von Hochhäusern kann der sphärische Energiekonverter zur A) In the basement of high - rise buildings, the spherical energy converter for
Stromerzeugung verwendet werden, indem er mit Regen- oder Brauchwasser angetrieben wird. Power generation can be used by being powered by rainwater or service water.
B) Ein Einsatz in einem Gezeitenkraftwerk wäre vorstellbar, das potentielle und kinetische Energie aus dem Tidenhub des Meeres in elektrischen Strom wandelt. B) An application in a tidal power plant would be conceivable that converts potential and kinetic energy from the tidal range of the sea into electricity.
C) Ein Einsatz in Flußkraftwerken wäre vorteilhaft, da durch die hohe Effizienz nur geringe Druckunterschiede im Wassergefälle notwendig wären. C) Use in river power plants would be advantageous, since the high efficiency only small pressure differences in the water gradient would be necessary.
D) Als mobile Einheit könnte der Energiekonverter in Krisenzeiten an Wasserfällen eingesetzt werden. D) As a mobile unit, the energy converter could be used in times of crisis at waterfalls.
E) Vorstellbar wäre auch ein Einsatz in Druckluftspeicherkraftwerken. Bezugszeichenliste E) Also conceivable would be use in compressed air storage power plants. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
