（第１実施形態）
次に、本発明を具体化した第１実施形態を図１に従って説明する。
図１（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、発電装置１０は、公道に設置されている水道本管から分岐されて個人等の敷地に引き込まれた水道管（流水路）１１上において水道メータよりも２次側に設置されている。発電装置１０は、水道管１１上に接続されるハウジング１２を備えている。ハウジング１２は、水道管１１の水路を形成する水路形成部１３と、この水路形成部１３から側方に飛び出した複数（本実施形態では３個）の羽根車ハウジング１４とからなる。各羽根車ハウジング１４は、水路形成部１３の外径とほぼ同じ厚さの扁平な円体とされ、その内側には、扁平な円形の羽根車室１５を備えている。羽根車室１５の外周部における一部は水路形成部１３の水路を兼ねている。 (First embodiment)
Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the power generation device 10 runs on a water pipe (flow channel) 11 branched from a water main installed on a public road and drawn into the site of an individual or the like. It is installed on the secondary side of the meter. The power generation device 10 includes a housing 12 connected to the water pipe 11. The housing 12 includes a water channel forming portion 13 that forms a water channel of the water pipe 11, and a plurality (three in this embodiment) of impeller housings 14 that protrude from the water channel forming portion 13 to the side. Each impeller housing 14 is a flat circular body having a thickness substantially the same as the outer diameter of the water channel forming portion 13, and a flat circular impeller chamber 15 is provided inside thereof. A part of the outer peripheral portion of the impeller chamber 15 also serves as a water channel of the water channel forming unit 13.

各羽根車ハウジング１４の羽根車室１５には、水路形成部１３内における水流方向と直交する回転軸１６が回転可能に支持され、この回転軸１６には渦巻型の羽根車１７が固定されている。各羽根車１７は、水流の上流方向に湾曲した複数の羽根１７ａを備えている。各羽根１７ａは、その回転域が水路形成部１３内の水路の断面全体を占めるように構成され、同水路を流れる水道水の水力により効率良く回転するようになっている。各回転軸１６の一端は、羽根車ハウジング１４の外部に延出され、その端部には傘歯車１８が固定されている。   The impeller chamber 15 of each impeller housing 14 is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 16 orthogonal to the water flow direction in the water channel forming portion 13, and a spiral impeller 17 is fixed to the rotating shaft 16. Yes. Each impeller 17 includes a plurality of blades 17a curved in the upstream direction of the water flow. Each blade 17a is configured such that its rotation area occupies the entire cross section of the water channel in the water channel forming portion 13, and is efficiently rotated by the hydropower of tap water flowing through the water channel. One end of each rotating shaft 16 extends to the outside of the impeller housing 14, and a bevel gear 18 is fixed to the end thereof.

一方、各羽根車ハウジング１４の外部には、水路形成部１３に沿って延びる出力軸１９が、水道管１１に固定された図示しない支持部材に対し回転可能に支持されている。出力軸１９には、前記各傘歯車１８に噛み合う複数の傘歯車２０が固定されている。出力軸１９の一端は、ハウジング１２に固定された発電機２１に接続されている。すなわち、発電機２１には、各羽根車１７の回転軸１６がそれぞれ作動連結されている。発電機２１は、ハウジング１２に固定された図示しない支持部材に対して固定され、その出力端子が図示しない蓄電池に電線によって接続されている。   On the other hand, on the outside of each impeller housing 14, an output shaft 19 extending along the water channel forming portion 13 is rotatably supported by a support member (not shown) fixed to the water pipe 11. A plurality of bevel gears 20 that mesh with the bevel gears 18 are fixed to the output shaft 19. One end of the output shaft 19 is connected to a generator 21 fixed to the housing 12. That is, the rotating shaft 16 of each impeller 17 is operatively connected to the generator 21. The generator 21 is fixed to a support member (not shown) fixed to the housing 12, and its output terminal is connected to a storage battery (not shown) by an electric wire.

さて、水道水が使われると、水道管１１の中を水道水が流れ、発電装置１０の水路形成部１３内の水路を水道水が流れる。すると、各羽根車ハウジング１４における水路部分を流れる水道水の水力により、それぞれの羽根車１７が回転駆動される。このとき、各羽根車ハウジング１４の水路部分を流れる水道水は、水路形成部１３内の水路の断面全体を占めるように構成された各羽根１７ａに効率良く当たる。このため、羽根車１７は、水道水の水力により効率良く回転する。そして、各羽根車１７の回転は、両傘歯車１８，２０を介して出力軸１９に伝達され、発電機２１が回転駆動される。この結果、水道水が使われるたびに、水道管１１を流れる水道水の水力による発電が行われ、蓄電池に電力が蓄電される。蓄電池に蓄えられた電気は、例えば、停電時において非常用ライトを点灯させたり、平常時において熱帯魚の酸素ポンプを駆動させたりするために用いられる。このため、平常時においては、家庭の電気料金を減らすことができる。   When the tap water is used, the tap water flows through the water pipe 11 and the tap water flows through the water channel in the water channel forming unit 13 of the power generation apparatus 10. Then, each impeller 17 is rotationally driven by the hydropower of the tap water flowing through the water channel portion in each impeller housing 14. At this time, the tap water flowing through the water channel portion of each impeller housing 14 efficiently hits each blade 17 a configured to occupy the entire cross section of the water channel in the water channel forming portion 13. For this reason, the impeller 17 rotates efficiently by the hydropower of tap water. The rotation of each impeller 17 is transmitted to the output shaft 19 via both bevel gears 18 and 20, and the generator 21 is rotationally driven. As a result, every time tap water is used, power is generated by the hydropower of the tap water flowing through the water pipe 11, and electric power is stored in the storage battery. The electricity stored in the storage battery is used, for example, to turn on an emergency light during a power outage or drive an oxygen pump of a tropical fish during normal times. For this reason, it is possible to reduce household electricity charges in normal times.

本実施形態の発電装置１０においては、水道管１１上に設置されて水道管１１の水路を形成する水路形成部１３に羽根車ハウジング１４を設け、水路形成部１３内の水路を通過する水道水の水力により羽根車ハウジング１４内の羽根車１７を回転駆動するようにした。そして、この羽根車１７の回転により、発電機２１を駆動するようにした。このため、水道管１１を流れる水道水の水力により羽根車１７が効率良く回転駆動されるので、前述した従来の技術に比較して、効率良く発電を行うことができる。   In the power generator 10 of this embodiment, the impeller housing 14 is provided in the water channel forming part 13 that is installed on the water pipe 11 and forms the water channel of the water pipe 11, and the tap water passes through the water channel in the water channel forming part 13. The impeller 17 in the impeller housing 14 is rotationally driven by the hydraulic power. The generator 21 is driven by the rotation of the impeller 17. For this reason, since the impeller 17 is rotationally driven efficiently by the hydropower of the tap water flowing through the water pipe 11, power generation can be performed more efficiently than the conventional technology described above.

（第２実施形態）
次に、本発明を具体化した第２実施形態について図２を用いて説明する。
図２（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、本実施形態の発電装置１０は、水道管１１上に設置されて水道管１１の水路を形成する略円筒状の翼車ハウジング３０を備えている。翼車ハウジング３０は、水道管１１よりも大径とされ、水道管１１の水路よりも大径の水路を備えている。翼車ハウジング３０内には、その一端側及び他端側に固定された一対の支持部材３１，３２間に、複数の翼車（本実施形態では３個）３３が固定された回転軸３４が回転可能に支持されている。すなわち、回転軸３４の回転軸線は、翼車ハウジング３０内の水路における水道水の水流方向に沿っている。各翼車３３はそれぞれ３枚の羽根３３ａから構成され、隣り合う翼車３３同士は互いに羽根３３ａが軸方向に重ならないように設けられている。また、各翼車３３は、翼車ハウジング３０の水路における内周面の内径とほぼ同じ外径とされている。そして、翼車ハウジング３０内の水路を流れる水道水の水力により、各翼車３３が回転駆動されるようになっている。 (Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the power generation device 10 of this embodiment includes a substantially cylindrical impeller housing 30 that is installed on the water pipe 11 and forms a water channel of the water pipe 11. Yes. The impeller housing 30 has a diameter larger than that of the water pipe 11 and includes a water channel having a diameter larger than that of the water pipe 11. In the impeller housing 30, there is a rotating shaft 34 to which a plurality of impellers (three in this embodiment) 33 are fixed between a pair of support members 31 and 32 fixed to one end side and the other end side thereof. It is rotatably supported. That is, the rotation axis of the rotation shaft 34 is along the direction of tap water flow in the water channel in the impeller housing 30. Each impeller 33 is composed of three blades 33a, and the adjacent impellers 33 are provided so that the blades 33a do not overlap each other in the axial direction. Each impeller 33 has an outer diameter that is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the water passage of the impeller housing 30. And each impeller 33 is rotationally driven by the hydropower of the tap water which flows through the water channel in the impeller housing 30.

回転軸３４には、その水道管１１の下流側の端部に傘歯車３５が固定されている。一方、翼車ハウジング３０には、翼車ハウジング３０を貫通する出力軸３６が回転可能に支持されている。出力軸３６には、翼車ハウジング３０内の端部に傘歯車３７が固定され、この傘歯車３７は、前記傘歯車３５に噛み合わされている。また、出力軸３６の他端には、翼車ハウジング３０の外部において図示しない支持部材により固定された発電機２１が接続されている。すなわち、発電機２１には、翼車３３の回転軸３４が作動連結されている。   A bevel gear 35 is fixed to the rotary shaft 34 at the downstream end of the water pipe 11. On the other hand, an output shaft 36 penetrating the impeller housing 30 is rotatably supported by the impeller housing 30. A bevel gear 37 is fixed to the output shaft 36 at an end in the impeller housing 30, and the bevel gear 37 is meshed with the bevel gear 35. Further, the other end of the output shaft 36 is connected to the generator 21 fixed by a support member (not shown) outside the impeller housing 30. That is, the rotating shaft 34 of the impeller 33 is operatively connected to the generator 21.

さて、水道管１１を水道水が流れると、翼車ハウジング３０内の水路を流れる水道水の水力により、各翼車３３が回転駆動される。このとき、翼車ハウジング３０内の水路を流れる水道水は、翼車ハウジング３０の水路の内周面にほぼ近い外径の翼車３３全体に効率良く当たる。このため、各翼車３３は、水道水の水力により効率良く回転する。そして、水道水が使われるたびに発電機２１が駆動され、蓄電池が充電される。従って、本実施形態も、前記第１実施形態と同じ効果を有する。   Now, when tap water flows through the water pipe 11, each impeller 33 is rotationally driven by the hydropower of the tap water flowing through the water channel in the impeller housing 30. At this time, the tap water flowing through the water channel in the impeller housing 30 efficiently hits the entire outer wheel 33 having an outer diameter substantially close to the inner peripheral surface of the water channel of the impeller housing 30. For this reason, each impeller 33 rotates efficiently by the hydropower of tap water. And whenever tap water is used, the generator 21 is driven and a storage battery is charged. Therefore, this embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

（第３実施形態）
次に、本発明を具体化した第３実施形態を図３に従って説明する。
図３（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、本実施形態の発電装置１０は、水道管１１上に設置されて水道管１１の水路を形成する長円形状のハウジング４０を備えている。ハウジング４０は、その中央部における両側において水道管１１に接続され、その両端部側に一対の羽根車室４１Ａ，４１Ｂを備えている。ハウジング４０は、両羽根車室４１Ａ，４１Ｂの間に直線状の水路を備えている。 (Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the power generation apparatus 10 of this embodiment includes an oval housing 40 that is installed on the water pipe 11 and forms a water channel of the water pipe 11. The housing 40 is connected to the water pipe 11 on both sides in the center thereof, and includes a pair of impeller chambers 41A and 41B on both ends thereof. The housing 40 includes a linear water channel between the both impeller chambers 41A and 41B.

ハウジング４０の羽根車室４１Ａ，４１Ｂには、ハウジング４０内の水路に直交する一対の回転軸４２Ａ，４２Ｂがそれぞれ回転可能に支持され、各回転軸４２Ａ，４２Ｂにはそれぞれ羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂが固定されている。各羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂは、それぞれ羽根車室４１Ａ，４１Ｂのほぼ一杯を占め、また、各歯同士が噛み合うように構成され、水路を流れる水道水の水力により効率良く回転するようになっている。回転軸４２Ａはハウジング４０の外部に延出され、その端部には発電機２１に接続されている。すなわち、両羽根車４１Ａ，４１Ｂの各回転軸４２Ａ，４２Ｂは、出力軸としての回転軸４２Ｂに作動連結されている。   The impeller chambers 41A and 41B of the housing 40 are rotatably supported by a pair of rotating shafts 42A and 42B orthogonal to the water channel in the housing 40. The rotating shafts 42A and 42B have impellers 43A and 43B, respectively. It is fixed. Each impeller 43A, 43B occupies almost the full capacity of the impeller chamber 41A, 41B, and is configured so that the teeth mesh with each other, so that it can be efficiently rotated by the hydropower of tap water flowing through the water channel. . The rotating shaft 42 </ b> A extends to the outside of the housing 40 and is connected to the generator 21 at its end. That is, the rotary shafts 42A and 42B of the both impellers 41A and 41B are operatively connected to a rotary shaft 42B as an output shaft.

さて、水道管１１の中を水道水が流れると、ハウジング４０内の水路を水道水が流れる。すると、この水道水の水力により、両羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂが回転駆動される。このとき、ハウジング４０の水路を流れる水道水は、水路全体を占めるように構成された両羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂに効率良く当たる。このため、両羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂは、水道水の水力により効率良く回転する。そして、両羽根車４３Ａ，４３Ｂの回転は、回転軸４２Ａ介して発電機２１に伝達される。この結果、水道水が使われるたびに、水道管１１を流れる水道水の水力による発電が行われ、蓄電池に電力が蓄電される。従って、本実施形態も前記第１実施形態と同じ効果を有する。   When tap water flows through the water pipe 11, tap water flows through the water channel in the housing 40. Then, both impellers 43A and 43B are rotationally driven by the hydropower of the tap water. At this time, the tap water flowing through the water channel of the housing 40 efficiently hits both the impellers 43A and 43B configured to occupy the entire water channel. For this reason, both impellers 43A and 43B rotate efficiently by the hydropower of tap water. And rotation of both impellers 43A and 43B is transmitted to the generator 21 via the rotating shaft 42A. As a result, every time tap water is used, power is generated by the hydropower of the tap water flowing through the water pipe 11, and electric power is stored in the storage battery. Therefore, this embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

The impeller housing 50 is covered with a cover 59 together with the upper surface portion of the water pipe 11.

さて、水道管１１を水道水が流れると、羽根車ハウジング５０内の水路を通過する水道水の水力により、各羽根車５１対が回転駆動される。このとき、水路を通過する水道水は、水路の両側に配置された両羽根車５１の羽根部５３に対し水路側の部分に当たる。このため、各組の羽根車５１対は、水道水の水力により効率良く回転する。   Now, when tap water flows through the water pipe 11, each impeller 51 pair is rotationally driven by the hydropower of the tap water passing through the water channel in the impeller housing 50. At this time, the tap water passing through the water channel hits the channel side of the blades 53 of the two impellers 51 arranged on both sides of the water channel. For this reason, each pair of impellers 51 is efficiently rotated by the hydropower of tap water.

各組の羽根車５１の回転は、両傘歯車５４，５６を介して各出力軸５５Ａ，５５Ｂに伝達され、各発電機５７Ａ，５７Ｂが回転駆動される。この結果、水道水が使われるたびに発電機５７Ａ，５７Ｂが駆動され、蓄電池５８が充電される。従って、本実施形態も、前記第１実施形態と同じ効果を有する。   The rotation of each pair of impellers 51 is transmitted to the output shafts 55A and 55B via the bevel gears 54 and 56, and the generators 57A and 57B are rotationally driven. As a result, whenever the tap water is used, the generators 57A and 57B are driven, and the storage battery 58 is charged. Therefore, this embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

なお、上記実施形態は、以下のように変更してもよい。
・ 前記第１実施形態において、水路形成部１３の水路を挟んで相対向する位置に羽根車ハウジング１４を一対で設け、各羽根車ハウジング１４内に収容した各羽根車１７の羽根１７ａが、同水路内で重なるように構成する。この場合、各羽根車１７の回転軸１６同士をタイミングプーリ及びベルトで連結し、両羽根車１７の回転を同期させることで、羽根１７ａ同士が干渉しないようにする。この場合にも、第１実施形態と同じ効果がある。 In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the first embodiment, a pair of impeller housings 14 are provided at positions facing each other across the water channel of the water channel forming unit 13, and the blades 17a of the respective impellers 17 accommodated in the respective impeller housings 14 are Configure to overlap in waterways. In this case, the rotation shafts 16 of the respective impellers 17 are connected to each other by a timing pulley and a belt, and the rotations of both the impellers 17 are synchronized so that the blades 17a do not interfere with each other. In this case, the same effect as that of the first embodiment is obtained.

・ 前記第１実施形態で、各羽根車１７の回転軸１６にそれぞれ発電機２１を直接接続する。
・ 本発明を、灌漑用水路、工場の給水管・排水管等の流水路において、その流水の水力により発電を行う発電装置に具体化する。 In the first embodiment, the generator 21 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 16 of each impeller 17.
