Description

  The present invention relates to an information device that operates based on electric energy obtained by generating power by manpower operation and charging the output of the power generation.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a configuration of an information device that manually generates power and operates with electric energy charged based on the power generation has been proposed.

  However, in any of these information devices, after winding the mainspring, the gear rotates based on the elastic force of the mainspring, and as a result, power is generated by the DC generator.

  The winding of the mainspring requires manual rotation or lever operation, but such operation is relatively complicated. On the other hand, in the case of a DC generator, it is necessarily the same as in the case of a DC motor. Since the presence of a brush (brush) is indispensable, the disadvantage of failure is unavoidable.

  The applicant has so far made a configuration of a cellular phone in which one end of a string is connected to an information device through a winder or a slit or a pole, and the other end is connected to an attachment device that can be attached to a pocket. Although it has been proposed (1999 patent application No. 115980, 1999 patent application No. 145290), in these configurations, at least one of the hands holding the string and the information device is linearly moved. By this, it is possible to realize the relative movement between the string and the information device.

  However, the basic configuration of performing the power generation by moving the hand linearly based on the assumption that such a string has been adopted and operating the information device using the output from the power generation as a power source is proposed. It has not been.

  The present invention realizes power generation based on the rotational movement or movement of a permanent magnet through a winder or a slit or a pole engaged with a string, and then operates an information device using the output from the power generation as a power source. It is an object to provide a basic configuration that can be used.

In order to solve the above problems, the basic configuration of the present invention is as follows.
(1) A winder that can be rotated by the movement of the string wound around the rotation center axis and is biased by an elastic force in the direction of winding the string, and the rotation of the winder Information that can be operated based on the power source of the storage battery, provided with a rotary AC generator that uses the rotor as a permanent magnet and a storage battery that charges the output of the AC generator via a rectifier. machine,
(2) A slit that is provided in a predetermined case and can slide the slide piece fixed to the string, or a rod-shaped pole, interlocked with the movement of the slide piece along the slit or the pole by sliding, and Permanent magnets with both poles (N pole and S pole) along the moving direction, linear type AC generator by setting a power generating coil around the moving area of the magnet, output from the AC generator, rectifier Information devices that can be operated based on the power source of the storage battery,
Consists of.

  Based on the basic configuration, the user simply generates a power by holding both the string and the information device with both hands and moving both or both hands in a straight line, and is charged by the power generation. The information device can be operated based on the power source.

  Furthermore, since the rotor in the configuration of (1) and the mover that performs the motion in the configuration of (2) both employ permanent magnets, the AC generator is configured simply. Is also possible.

In order to charge the storage battery 52, which is the power source of the information device 6, the output by power generation is preferably DC rather than AC.
However, in the configuration of (1), as shown in FIG. 1, the string 1 is pulled out from the winder 21 against the elastic force, or the string 1 is pulled into the winder 21 based on the elastic force. By sucking, the generator is operated using the reciprocating rotational motion of the winder 21 as a driving force.

  In such a case, when a DC generator is used as a generator, the direction of power generation is reversed by reciprocating rotational motion, and an AC voltage with the same period as the reciprocating motion is generated. It is.

  For this reason, in the configuration of (1), while adopting the rotary AC generator 31 and adopting the rotor as the permanent magnet 42, a simple configuration that does not require a brush (brush) can be adopted. It becomes possible.

  On the other hand, in the configuration of (2), as shown in FIG. 2, a slit provided in a predetermined case 23 or a slide piece 11 that slides on a pole 22 is fixed to the string 1 and then the string 1 is reciprocated. By performing a reciprocating slide movement along with the movement, the coil 41 provided around the moving area of the magnet is caused to perform electromagnetic induction based on the reciprocating movement of the magnet linked to the slide piece 11, In other words, linear power generation is performed based on the fact that the movement in a predetermined direction and the generation of current are reversed with respect to the linear motor (FIG. 2A shows a case where the slit 22 is employed, and FIG. (B) has shown the case where the pole 22 is employ | adopted.).

In the linear type power generation, AC power generation is inevitably produced by reversing the moving direction of the slide piece 11 and the magnet along with the reciprocating motion.
In the linear type power generation, there may be a configuration in which the side that reciprocates in conjunction with the slide piece 11 is an electromagnet, but in that case, the current is inevitably transmitted along with the movement similar to the raw pantograph. Since a part is required and the configuration is complicated, in the configuration (2), the moving element is the permanent magnet 42.

Thus, in any of the above (1) and (2), since the alternating voltage is generated, the storage battery 52 is charged through the rectifier 51. Either a wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier can be used.
However, a radio rectifier is preferable in view of energy efficiency.
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, two lines connecting the rotary AC generator 31 or the linear AC generator 32, the rectifier 51, the storage battery 52, and the socket 53 indicate current connection lines.

  In order to operate the information device 6, a predetermined voltage is required (in the case of a mobile phone, usually about 1.5 to 2.5 volts is required), but the storage battery 52 is supplied with the predetermined voltage. In order to charge, the DC voltage inevitably generated through the rectifier 51 needs to have a voltage value exceeding the predetermined voltage even if the voltage value itself fluctuates.

  Therefore, in any of the configurations (1) and (2), the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 42 is positioned around and around the permanent magnet 42 so that the peak value of the generated voltage by the AC generator exceeds the predetermined voltage. It is required to design the number of windings of the coil 41, but if the peak value due to power generation by the AC generator is equal to or lower than the predetermined voltage, the rectifier 51 and the storage battery 52 It may be adjusted by inserting a DC-DC converter between them so that the peak value reaches the predetermined voltage or more.

In the configuration of (1), it is indispensable to interpose an urging force by an elastic force so that the string 1 is sucked into the winding and wound around the winder 21 (a foldable string). 1 cannot be inserted into the winder from the outside in the winder), the elastic force is not necessarily required in the configuration (2).
However, also in the configuration of (2), when an elastic spring is connected near the position of the slide piece 11 and an urging force by an elastic force is interposed on one side of the reciprocating movement, the user can use the string 1 or information. AC power generation can be realized by pulling the device 6 to one side.

  In the configuration (1), the average magnet constituting the rotor is often a dipole magnet as shown in FIG. 3A, but is not necessarily limited to the dipole magnet. As shown in 3 (b), it is possible to employ a magnet having four or more poles.

  Similarly, in the configuration of (2), not only one magnet as shown in FIG. 4 (a) but also two or more magnets that reciprocate as shown in FIG. 4 (b). A configuration is also possible in which they are juxtaposed in a direction and connected in a straight line.

In the configurations of (1) and (2), an AC generator, a rectifier 51, and a power generation part 9 by a charger and an information device 6 can be configured integrally, but as shown in FIGS. In addition, a configuration in which the power generation portion 9 and the information device 6 are detachable via the socket 53 is also possible.
However, in the configuration of (2), if it is considered that the predetermined case 23 receives the slit or the pole 22, the above-described integrated configuration has one case 23 as the power generation portion. 9 and the information device 6 can be shared, and the range of the slits or poles 22, and thus the moving area of the slide piece 11 and the permanent magnet 42 can be set wide.

  In the configuration of (1), either the rotation of the winder 21 may be directly transmitted to the rotor of the generator, or may be transmitted via a gear by a predetermined rotor.

  On the other hand, in the configuration of (2), in order to link the movement of the slide piece 11 and the movement of the magnet, a design contrivance is required separately.

  In the case of FIG. 5 (a), the slide piece 11 and the magnet are connected by a bar 8 extending in the moving direction, and the bar 8 moves inside the coil 41 together with the magnet. In the slide piece 11 area, the area where the string 1 slides and the movement area of the magnet and the movement area of the magnet are in series, and therefore it is impossible to provide both movement areas along the entire length of the apparatus. (It will move along the area within 1/2 of the longitudinal direction).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, one end of the magnet is connected to an elastic spring, and the belt is supported by a pulley 7 that is positioned in the opposite direction with the elastic spring and the coil 41 interposed therebetween. When the magnet is moved to the pulley 7 side by connecting the slit 10 or slit 22 or the pole 22 to the slide piece 11, the slide piece 11 is slid against the elastic force of the elastic spring, When the magnet is moved toward the elastic spring, the magnet is moved by the biasing force of the elastic spring. In such a configuration, the slide area of the slide piece 11 and the moving area of the magnet are separated from each other. Since they are in a parallel state, the slide area can be provided along the entire longitudinal direction of the apparatus, and the movement area of the apparatus can be efficiently moved.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, an attachment device 12 that can be attached to a pocket is attached to the tip of the string 1.

  In such an embodiment, it is possible to use the information device 6 with the attachment device 12 attached to a pocket or the like, and even if the information device 6 is separated from the body by an accident, It can be prevented from falling.

  Furthermore, after the other end portion of the string 1 is fixed in a pocket or the like, the power generation portion 9 (however, as described above, when it is integrated with the information device 6 and is detachable) It is also possible to generate power by moving in a predetermined direction.

  The present invention can be used in the industrial technical field relating to various devices and equipment that can be operated by a power source based on simple manual power generation.

The basic configuration of (1) is shown. The basic configuration of (2) is shown, (a) shows the case of a slit, and (b) shows the case of a pole. In the configuration of (1) above, the arrangement relationship between the coil and the rotor by the permanent magnet is shown, (a) shows the case where the permanent magnet has two poles, and (b) shows the case where the permanent magnet has four poles. Is shown. In the configuration of (2), the arrangement state of the coil and the permanent magnet is shown, (a) shows the case where one permanent magnet is adopted, and (b) adopts two permanent magnets.
