Description

The present invention relates to a power generation device that generates power using tap water, a faucet incorporating the power generation device, and a power supply device that can be attached to a faucet.

I can't find anything.

Energy can be saved by generating electricity using tap water that is frequently used in the kitchen and using the generated power source for charging the charger.

A power generator that rotates the gears with tap water and transmits the rotation to the generator to generate electricity.

Faucet with built-in 0003 power generator

Power generator that can be attached to tap water faucet

Tap water often uses gravity to move and discharge water. The water that moves by gravity rotates the blades and generates power using the rotational force. Other energy is required for power generation. Therefore, it can contribute to energy saving.

The blades provided on the tap water flow path are rotated by the power of water, the rotation is transmitted to the generator, and the rotating portion of the generator is rotated to generate power.
The generated power is taken out and used, for example, for a charger.
The number of tap water changes depending on the amount of tap water, and the output voltage changes. For example, a DC-DC converter is built in the charger, and the constant voltage is obtained through the DC-DC converter. A voltage is obtained.

FIG. 1 shows the basic principle.
The blade 2 is provided on the tap water flow path, the tap water 1 collides with the blade 2, and the blade 2 is rotated by the force.

A gear A3 is provided on the rotating shaft of the blade 2, and the rotation is transmitted to the gear B4.

The gear B4 is provided on the rotating shaft of the generator, and the generator 5 rotates to generate power.

The generated DC power is taken out from the + power output line 6 and the −power output line 7 to the outside.

A partition is provided between the gear A 3, the gear B 4, the generator 5, the + power output line 6, the −power output line 7 and the blade 2 provided on the tap water flow path, and the rotation axis of the blade 2 By providing the waterproof O-ring 8 on the top, water is prevented from entering the generator and only rotation is transmitted.

FIG. 2 shows the power generation device described in the first embodiment built in and integrated with a faucet. The inside of the power generation unit 11 has the structure described in the first embodiment.
Power is output from the + power output line 14 and the −power output line 15 to the outside.

FIG. 3 shows a power generator having a structure that fits into a faucet portion of a faucet.
The inside of the power generation device main body 20 has the structure described in the first embodiment.
Power is output from the + power output line 21 and the −power output line 22 to the outside.

If a power generation device with a similar structure is installed in a water pipe in a common part of an apartment house such as an apartment, it is possible to generate a larger amount of power.

Battery chargers used in digital cameras and mobile phones generally have many AC inputs, but using the power generator of the present invention as a DC power supply contributes to the spread and energy saving of DC input chargers. it can.

It is explanatory drawing which showed the basic principle which produces electric power with tap water. Example 1 It is explanatory drawing which showed the implementation method which incorporated the electric power generating apparatus demonstrated in Example 1, and was integrated with the faucet. (Example 2) It is explanatory drawing which showed the implementation method of the electric power generating apparatus of the structure inserted in the faucet part of a faucet. (Example 3)
