Description

  The present invention does not use natural energy such as solar or wind power for the purpose of contributing to environmental problems and CO2 reduction, which are becoming a hot topic in the general public and at home recently, but it uses human energy. The present invention relates to a human power generation and charging device for the purpose of converting to electric energy and generating and using electricity manually.

  Many of the technologies that have been reported recently and that are useful for reducing environmentally friendly energy and CO2 require a large amount of equipment or a large amount of cost for the equipment. In order to generate electricity necessary to maintain social life, mineral resources such as petroleum and coal, which are underground resources, are used, and nuclear power is used in modern times. Does not exist infinitely, it is finite and resource depletion has become a problem, and as a result of using these resources, there is global warming, and the generation of CO2 is a problem. The use of natural energy, that is, the use of natural energy is screamed.

  Research has been conducted to secure electric energy by generating electricity through the use of sunlight, wind power, and the use of ocean wave power rather than river hydropower.

  However, in order to use these, a huge equipment cost is required, and the enormous energy required to manufacture the equipment has all led to deterioration of the global environment.

  Many manufacturers make efforts to reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible, develop equipment with low power consumption, reduce standby power consumption of equipment, improve inverter efficiency, etc., and automakers use hybrid vehicles to reduce oil consumption We are developing products such as development.

  All of the natural energy to use mentioned above has the disadvantage that it depends on the weather, and the biggest problem is that the conversion efficiency to convert to electric energy is very low compared to the method using earth resources. Have

  In other words, the current situation where cost effectiveness is not expected is one of the causes that does not lead to widespread use.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has devised means for effectively securing electric energy rather than utilizing naturally existing energy.

  In this case, it is necessary to secure electric energy. For this purpose, a generator is required, and if this generator is rotated manually, the rotational energy can be converted into electric energy.

  As a result of market research to achieve this purpose, we were able to achieve the initial purpose by using a commercially available generator with a patented special shape.

  The generators obtained for the above purposes are coreless permanent magnet type synchronous generators, two of which are attached back to back through a hollow cylinder, and the lead wires of the generator coil drawn out from the central axis of the generator Are connected in parallel or in series in the external casing to form a target electric circuit.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to 3, the generator generally used has a central axis as a rotation axis and the outer casing is fixed. In the generator 1), the central shaft 2) is a fixed shaft and the outer casing is a rotating part 3). Therefore, when two generators are assembled back to back via a hollow cylinder 4), the central shaft 2) It is easy to assemble without shaking, and can be cantilevered when assembled with a single generator, so there will be a problem with durability. The rubber tire of the outer wheel of the rear wheel of the bicycle 6) can be brought into contact with the hollow cylinder 4), so that a speed increasing device can be easily configured, and a generator pulling spring between the two to ensure contact. 10). Also, since the two generators rotate at the same speed, the same voltage and current can be taken out, so if the output AC voltage is converted to DC using a diode, one generator If it is connected in series, the voltage is doubled, and if it is connected in parallel, twice the current can be taken out.

  The above is the description of the power generation and charging unit device 11) of claim 1, but the description will be made with respect to the commodity using this power generation and charging unit device.

Recently, there have been discussions on how to take measures against earthquakes, but measures against human damage and damage to buildings are also important, but measures after disasters are also considered to be important measures, that is, they are immediately troubled. If there is water and electricity, especially if there is no lighting at night, you will be forced to act blindly, and if there is a mobile power plant-like device that can easily move the power generation site at that time, it will be very helpful. Therefore, the method proposed as the countermeasure is the content of claim 1. In other words, when a disaster occurs and a power outage occurs, take out the bicycle mounting base 8) that is placed in the disaster recovery supplies storage during normal times and mount and fix a commonly used bicycle (mamachari) 6) on this base Then, if you make a bicycle, you can take out electricity from the power generation and charging device, so you can use it directly for lighting and other purposes, or carry the battery 18) charged to this place where you need it and use it for lighting and other necessary purposes. By doing so, it can be used as a mobile simple power plant.
Since it is impossible to move solar panels and wind power generators to the required site due to weight and other reasons, the simple power plant capability that can be easily moved can be demonstrated.

  The following proposal has recently been advertised as the electric bicycle 14) being an environmental measure and also useful for CO2 reduction measures, but it uses electricity in the home to charge the installed battery. This would be contrary to the reduction of CO2, and by using the power generation and charging unit device 11) of claim 1 for charging the on-board battery 13), it becomes possible to charge the battery without using household electricity. Claim 2 shows that the use of physical strength as an upper secondary effect also serves as a measure against metabolic syndrome, and a fitness exercise effect can also be expected in the home.

  In fitness clubs etc., exercise using an exercise bike 15) is carried out. In this case, the kinetic energy of the person using the exercise bike only consumes calories and is not helpful. If this energy can be used for charging the battery, the effect of two birds with one stone is produced, and a method for contributing to CO2 reduction is shown in claim 3. Those who are trying to use their exercise bikes to improve their health will be encouraged by knowing that their health promotion measures will help reduce CO2 and have two birds with one stone, and a fully charged battery 18 ) In the storage area, it can be transported to the site of use according to night lighting and other necessary uses and used immediately on site.

  Each of the explanations described above efficiently uses the two generators shown in claim 1 to increase the number of revolutions of the generator using the speed increasing effect utilizing the rotation of the wheels, and doubles the electric power generated as a result. A system for charging a battery is proposed.

Different embodiments of the invention

  There are various ways of using the human power generation and charging device shown in claim 1, but for example, if it is used as a wind power generator, it is possible to produce a vertical power generator incorporating a speed increasing device for urban low wind speeds. It becomes easy.

  In the case of hydroelectric power generation, especially offshore power generation, the speed of the speed increasing device is necessary because the water flow is slow, but the present proposal without using a belt or the like is effective.

The invention's effect

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.
(1) Since the human power generation and charging device configured in claim 1 can be commercialized as a standard unit, it can be commercialized as a standard unit. Can be achieved, so the utility value is high.
(2) Since it is composed of the requirements of claim 1, it is useful for the purpose of responding to an emergency, but using this system at school during normal times helps improve the physical fitness of students etc. Hands-on learning to help reduce.
(3) In claim 2, there is an increase in the number of purchasers of electric bicycles due to the recent rise in gasoline, but there is a problem that CO2 will not be reduced because electricity is used to charge the battery installed. In addition to solving this problem, it is possible to take measures against metabolic syndrome free of charge at home, resulting in a health promotion effect.
(4) In claim 3, the battery is charged by combining a fitness club exercise bike used for a fee with a power generation and charging unit device, and the charge is measured and returned to the user as a point. Those who are satisfied are also able to use the charged battery for night lighting and other purposes, thereby reducing costs and cooperating in the reduction of CO2.

  As a result of the effects of the invention as described above, the foolishness of pursuing only the exercise effect and discarding human energy as in the present is effectively utilized, and the natural energy and the energy possessed by the human are utilized. The effect of the present invention is exhibited if it can contribute even a little to global warming and CO2 reduction.
