Description

  The present invention relates to a power generator that generates electric power by driving a generator with a drive motor.

  Conventionally, a power generation device has been used to supply electric power to various electric products.

  This conventional power generator is configured to generate power by directly connecting one or a plurality of generators to a drive motor and driving the generator with the drive motor (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2001-169532 A

  In recent years, social problems such as global warming have occurred due to an increase in power consumption on a global scale, and it is desired to improve energy efficiency in power generation devices that supply power.

  However, in the conventional power generation apparatus, since the drive motor and the generator are directly connected, all the load generated by the generator is applied to the drive motor. It was necessary to enlarge the motor or increase the number of drive motors.

  For this reason, in a power generation device with a large amount of power generation, the manufacturing cost may increase due to the increase in the size or number of drive motors.

  Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in the power generation apparatus that generates power by driving the generator with the drive motor, the drive motor and the generator housed in the casing are directed vertically in the horizontal state of the casing. A centrifugal force generator that generates centrifugal force by rotation is connected to the rotating shaft while being connected via the extending rotating shaft, and the casing is provided on the base so as to be able to rotate and swing horizontally.

  Moreover, in this invention which concerns on Claim 2, in this invention which concerns on the said Claim 1, a base and a casing are made into the gravity center position of the whole casing which accommodated the said drive motor, a generator, a rotating shaft, and a centrifugal force generation body. It was decided to support horizontal rotation and swinging.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the centrifugal force generator has a predetermined weight at a position away from the rotation center by a predetermined radius from the rotation center. The annular body having the wing body is connected so as to be movable up and down, and a wing body that generates buoyancy by rotation is formed on the outer periphery of the annular body.

  And in this invention, there exists an effect described below.

  That is, in the present invention, in a power generation device that generates power by driving a generator with a drive motor, a rotating shaft that extends the drive motor and the generator housed in the casing in the vertical direction in the horizontal state of the casing is provided. In addition, a centrifugal force generator that generates centrifugal force by rotation is connected to the rotating shaft, and the casing is provided on the base so that it can be rotated and swung horizontally. The energy efficiency of the power generation device can be improved without being affected by gravity even in a place.

  In particular, if the base and casing are supported so that they can rotate and swing horizontally at the center of gravity of the entire casing containing the drive motor, generator, rotating shaft, and centrifugal force generator, it is compulsory from the outside. Even if it is not controlled, the posture can be automatically changed to the state without the influence of gravity with driving.

  In addition, an annular body having a predetermined weight is connected to the rotation shaft at a position away from the rotation center by a predetermined radius so as to be movable up and down, and a wing body that generates buoyancy by rotation is formed on the outer periphery of the annular body. In this case, the annular body floats with driving, and the loss due to gravity can be reduced.

The front view which shows the electric power generating apparatus which concerns on this invention. FIG. Front sectional drawing of a centrifugal force generation body. FIG.

  Below, the specific structure of the electric power generating apparatus which concerns on this invention is demonstrated, referring drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the power generation apparatus 1 has a power generation mechanism 3 mounted on an upper portion of a rectangular plate-like base 2 via a posture change mechanism 4.

  In the power generation mechanism 3, a rotary shaft 6 is rotatably attached to a central portion of a rectangular box-shaped casing 5 via upper and lower bearings 7 and 8. The rotating shaft 6 is in a state of being extended in the vertical direction when the casing 5 is in a horizontal state.

  Further, the power generation mechanism 3 attaches the drive motor 9 to the left side of the casing 5 via the base 10, and attaches the speed reducer 11 to the right side of the casing 5 via the base 12, and generates power to the right side of the casing 5. Machine 13 is installed.

  The power generation mechanism 3 interlocks the drive pulley 15 attached to the drive shaft 14 of the drive motor 9 to the driven pulley 16 attached to the rotary shaft 6 via the interlock belt 17, while the interlock pulley attached to the rotary shaft 6. 18 is connected to the input pulley 20 attached to the input shaft 19 of the reducer 11 via the interlocking belt 21 and is attached to the output pulley 23 attached to the output shaft 22 of the reducer 11 and the generator shaft 24 of the generator 13. The power generation pulley 25 is interlocked and connected via an interlock belt 26.

  As a result, when the drive mechanism 9 is driven, the power generation mechanism 3 rotates the rotating shaft 6, and the power generator 13 is driven via the speed reducer 11, so that the power generator 13 generates power. Yes. The rotating shaft 6 is rotated left in the northern hemisphere and rotated right in the southern hemisphere in order to reduce the influence of the earth's rotation.

  In this power generation mechanism 3, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a centrifugal force generator 27 that generates a centrifugal force by rotation is connected to the rotating shaft 6.

  The centrifugal force generator 27 is attached to an upper portion of a housing 28 formed in the middle of the rotary shaft 6 so as to be movable up and down via a connection key 30, and a disc is attached to the outer periphery of the connection body 29. 31 is attached horizontally, and an annular body 32 is attached to the outer periphery of the disc 31.

  Further, the centrifugal force generator 27 forms a spiral wing body 33 on the outer periphery of the annular body 32, and generates buoyancy in the wing body 33 by the rotation of the annular body 32.

The centrifugal force generator 27 has a structure in which an annular body 32 having a predetermined weight M is attached to the rotary shaft 6 at a position separated from the rotary shaft 6 by a predetermined radius R. As a result, the annular body 32 rotates on the horizontal plane at the rotation speed V, whereby a centrifugal force of M · V ² / R is generated.

  Therefore, when the rotary shaft 6 is rotationally driven by the drive motor 9, a centrifugal force is generated by the action of the annular body 32 along with the rotation of the rotary shaft 6, and the centrifugal force acts on the rotary shaft 6 to rotate the rotary shaft 6. Is encouraged. As a result, it is possible to drive a high-load generator 13 or a plurality of generators 13 without increasing the rating or the number of drive motors 9, and suppress an increase in manufacturing cost of the power generation apparatus 1 due to an increase in the amount of power generation. can do.

  The power generation mechanism 3 determines the position of the center of gravity of the entire casing (all items housed inside the casing 5 such as the rotating shaft 6, the drive motor 9, the generator 13, and the centrifugal force generator 27 in addition to the casing 5). The drive motor 9 and the generator 13 are arranged inside the casing 5 so as to be in the center position, and the rotary shaft 6 is vertically positioned at the center of gravity (center position of the casing 5) when the casing 5 is in a horizontal state. It is arranged to extend in the direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the posture changing mechanism 4 has dampers 34 that can be expanded and contracted attached to lower portions of the four corners of the casing 5 of the power generation mechanism 3, and casters 35 can be horizontally rotated at the lower ends of the dampers 34. The rolling wheels 36 of the casters 35 are mounted in a state where they are locked to the upper part of a circular rail 37 laid on the base 2.

  Further, the attitude changing mechanism 4 is the entire casing of the power generation mechanism 3 (all things housed in the casing 5 such as the rotating shaft 6, the drive motor 9, the generator 13, and the centrifugal force generator 27 in addition to the casing 5). At the center of gravity (here, the center position of the casing 5 and the position directly below the rotating shaft 6), the ball bearing 38 allows the casing 5 of the power generation mechanism 3 to be horizontally rotated and swung on the upper portion of the base 2. It is installed so that its posture can be changed.

  Therefore, in the power generation device 1 having the above-described configuration, when the power generation mechanism 3 is driven to generate power, the rotating shaft 6 and the centrifugal force generator 27 rotate, and accordingly, the power generation mechanism 3 receives the action of the earth's gravity and rotation. However, the posture changing mechanism 4 performs horizontal rotation or swinging and stops in a balanced posture.

  As described above, in the power generator 1, the drive motor 9 and the generator 13 housed inside the casing 5 are connected via the rotary shaft 6 extending in the vertical direction in the horizontal state of the casing 5. At the same time, a centrifugal force generator 27 that generates a centrifugal force by rotation is connected to the rotary shaft 6, and the casing 5 is provided on the base 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable and swingable.

  Therefore, in the power generation device 1 having the above configuration, the energy efficiency of the power generation device 1 can be improved by changing the posture of the casing 5 without being affected by gravity at any place on the earth.

  Further, in the power generator 1, the base 2 and the casing 5 are supported so as to be horizontally rotatable and swayable at the center of gravity of the entire casing containing the drive motor 9, the generator 13, the rotary shaft 6 and the centrifugal force generator 27. The configuration is as follows.

  Therefore, in the power generator 1 having the above-described configuration, the posture can be automatically changed to a state free from the influence of gravity without being forcibly controlled from outside.

  Further, in the power generator 1, an annular body 32 having a predetermined weight M is connected to the rotary shaft 6 at a position away from the center of rotation by a predetermined radius R so as to be movable up and down, and buoyancy is generated on the outer periphery of the annular body 32 by rotation. The wing body 33 is formed to generate.

  Therefore, in the power generation device 1 having the above-described configuration, the annular body 32 floats with driving, and loss due to gravity can be reduced.
