Description

Hydroelectric generator to be interleaved in a closed pipe.

Object of the invention

The present specification refers to a Invention patent relating to a hydroelectric generator for be inserted in a closed pipe, whose obvious purpose it consists of producing electrical energy from pressurized water circulating through a closed pipe, with a minimum loss of Pressure.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the electrical industry and auxiliary of agriculture.

Background of the invention

Various types of generators are known hydroelectric that are characterized by transforming the energy of Water in electrical energy.

On the other hand, it is universally known basic principle of electromagnetic induction, which allows generate an electric current by varying a magnetic field in the inside of a coil of electricity conductor cable.

Also, the combination is also known of both principles, hydroelectric generation and induction electromagnetic, in order to produce energy electric

On the other hand, various types of electric generators characterized by obtaining electric power from the water that circulates through closed pipes, between The Spanish Patent number 9800673, which consists of in a hydroelectric generator designed to get the most possible use of energy due to the speed of water flowing through large ducts on its way to the sewage treatment plants

The purpose of that invention is the provision of electrical energy to the metropolis and makes reference in its drawings to conduits without pressure.

However, no generator is known. hydroelectric that obtains electricity from pressurized water circulating through a closed pipe.

Against this, the proposed invention it consists of a hydroelectric generator to be interleaved in a closed pipe, which is characterized by obtaining electrical energy to from the pressurized water that circulates through closed pipes, transforming into electricity a small part of the energy of the water circulating inside that pipe, allowing the power supply of electronic or electrical appliances located in places far from electrical conduits, preserving most of the pressure inside the pipe at the exit of the equipment and not harming the use water back.

Therefore it is a generator that faces those existing in the market, intends to take advantage of only a small part of the energy due to the pressure of the water circulating in a pressure pipe in a water distribution network for irrigation, maintaining the pressure after passing through the generator, no damaging the subsequent use of water for irrigation, put that at the outlet of the hydrodynamic, water can continue to circulate in pipe closed under pressure. The generator causes a fall of water pressure in the pipe less than 1.5 m.c.a.

Also said generator intends to use the electric power generated to power electronic devices of low consumption located next to the pipe when they are away from any connection point to the mains, without need to carry electrical conduction cables there or place photovoltaic panels to capture solar energy.

Description of the invention

The hydroelectric generator to be interleaved in a closed pipe proposed by the present invention, configured from a cyclonic chamber (3), a rotor shaft (4), an inductor coil (7) and an electronic circuit (8).

The cyclonic chamber also presents a water inlet (1) and outlet (2) connection sand into the water pipe. Inside this camera you find one end of the rotor shaft (4). The entry of water into this chamber generates a rotation movement that is transmitted to the rotor.

The rotor shaft (4) enters the cyclone chamber (3), and has fixed vanes or blades (9) in disposition radial that are pushed by the water that rotates in the chamber, which rotates the shaft (4). At the other end of the axis of rotation (4) is find the magnetic body (5) that it produces when you rotate the variation of the magnetic field. There is a plastic case (6) that wraps completely to the rotor shaft to prevent water leakage.

The inductor coil (7) hugs the cover of plastic (6) inside which the magnetic body (5) rotates, generating an electric current in the coil.

The electronic circuit (8) to which it is connected the coil (7) fulfills the functions of rectification and stabilization of the generated current, to be used for battery charging or power electronic equipment.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing, and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is accompanied herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, a set of planes, in which by way of illustration and not limitation, it has been represented the following:

Figure number 1.- shows a diagram of blocks in which the different elements that make up are appreciated The hydroelectric generator.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In a pressurized water pipe of a network of water distribution for irrigation the generator is sandwiched hydroelectric object of the present invention, by means of paths connections, inlet (1) and outlet (2) of water.

The water circulating under pressure inside the pipe reaches the hydroelectric generator by entering the cyclonic chamber (3) through the input connection (1).

Once inside the cyclone chamber (3) the water that turns inside pushes thanks to its pressure vanes (9) arranged radially, which rotates the shaft (4) to the that the pallets are attached (9). Therefore, the entrance of water in this chamber generates a turning movement that is transmitted to the rotor

In turn, the rotation of the rotor shaft (4) produces the rotation of the magnetic body (5) located at the other end of the axis of turn (4). The magnetic body (5) rotates inside the coil inductor (7) producing the variation of the magnetic field and generating an electric current in the coil.

The plastic sheath (6) that wraps completely to the rotor shaft prevents water leakage.

The electricity generated by the coil (7) reaches the electronic circuit (8) that rectifies and stabilizes it, being used for battery charging or equipment power electronic

Electricity generation occurs from permanently, while the water circulates inside.

Water in turn enters the cyclone chamber (4), generates a turning movement and exits through the output connection (2). The generator causes a pressure drop in the water of the pipe less than 1.5 m.c.a. so the water keeps practically all its pressure after going through the generator and continues to circulate in closed pipe under pressure without affecting the subsequent use of water for irrigation.
