Compressed air expands its volume against external forces in the process of falling to atmospheric pressure, so it has the ability or energy to do the work in dynamics. Since compressed air has energy, it can be used in most industries, and currently compressed high pressure air is used in various industrial fields. However, the compressed air used there is almost always created using energy, such as electricity, already created by other means. Energy is hydropower and wave power, wind power, and tidal power are natural energies, but the amount is small, and it depends on fossil fuels and nuclear power as most energy sources. As a result, it has become a major global issue such as air pollution, global warming, and environmental pollution caused by accidents.

7 will be described. Reference numeral 25 is a spanner-shaped holding metal fitting whose axial portion is supported by the pin 22, and when the base side of the holding metal fitting 25 is expanded, the clamp part side is also expanded. One of the bases of the holding metal fitting 25 is fixed to the central portion of the lower plate 4 of the container body 2, and the other of the bases is free. A spring body 26 is attached to the base of the holding metal fitting 25 so as to apply a spring pressure in the expanding direction. Further, a lock lever 27 is attached to the base of the holding metal fitting 25 to resist the spring pressure of the spring body 26 and lock the holding metal fitting 25 in the closed state. Reference numeral 28 denotes a lock release pin. The lock release pin 28 has an upper end protruding from the lower plate 4 of the air chamber 2 into the air chamber 1, and the lower portion thereof is locked by the lock lever 27. When the upper end portion of the lock release pin 28 is pressed downward, the lock state of the lock lever 27 is released, and the base portion and the clamp portion of the holding metal fitting 25 are expanded by the spring pressure of the spring body 26. . Therefore, the air chamber 1
When the upper plate 3 comes closest to the lower plate 4 and the lock release pin 28 is pushed downward, the locked state of the lock lever 27 is released, and the spring pressure of the spring body 26 is released. When the clamp part of the holding metal fitting 17 is opened by this and the wire 23 that has been clamped is released, the sinking weight 11 directly connected to this wire 23 drops in the case of FIG. 1 and the box 15 of the box 15 in the case of FIG. The bottom portion 14 is opened by its own weight, and the sinking weight 11 such as gravel contained in the box 15 falls. The sinking weight 11 placed in the box 15 may be any weight such as gravel on the coast, which is heavier than water.

小となり構造設計上有利である。Since the buoyant body 13 is subjected to a large water pressure when it reaches deep into the water, a strong structure is required in terms of design. In such a case, if compressed air having the same depth as the depth water pressure to be reached is put into the buoyancy body 13 from the beginning, the pressure difference between the inside and the outside becomes small, which is advantageous in structural design.

As described above, it is possible to withstand water pressure when it reaches a deep place in water, which is advantageous in structure. However, since the compressed air recovery container 9 is the buoyant body 13 in the device of FIG. Depending on the internal volume, the compressed air that has been press-fitted into the compressed air recovery container 9 is held in the container 9 and the operation of sinking into water and supplementing air into the air chamber 1 is repeated to increase the water pressure. By repeating the operation of sinking to a deep water depth, it is possible to obtain higher pressure compressed air in the compressed air recovery container 9 and to withstand deeper water pressure, which is suitable for obtaining high pressure compressed air. ing.

By the action of 1, the air automatically enters the air chamber 1 of the container body 2 through the air inflow valve 7, and the container body 2 is
In the case of, it swells to a spherical shape, and in the case of FIG. 2, it swells to a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the valve 7 is closed. The sinking weight 11 is attached to the clamp device 17 of the weight attachment 12. Gently drop into the water and remove from the crane to gently drop into the water. When it sinks deeply into the water and the water pressure increases, the container body 2 is contracted by this water pressure, and the air in the air chamber 1 is compressed and the volume is reduced. In the case of FIG. 1, the overall appearance is a spheroid, and in the case of FIG. As a result, the air inside the air chamber 1 is pressurized to almost the same level as the external water pressure, and part of the air is stored in the compressed air recovery container 9. When it goes further deeper, the volume of the air chamber 1 is further reduced by the water pressure, and most of the air enters the compressed air recovery container 9, and at the same time, the projection 19 attached to the upper plate 3 is attached to the lower plate 4.
The lock release pin 28 attached to is pushed down to release the locked state of the lock lever 27, and the clamp portion of the holding metal fitting 25 is opened by the spring pressure of the spring body 26, and the sinking weight 11 that has been clamped is removed. . When the sinking weight 11 is removed, the buoyant force of the buoyant body 13 starts to rise. At this time, since the check valve 10 is provided in the compressed air recovery container 9 so as to maintain a high pressure state, when the compressed air recovery container 9 rises to the water surface, it is lifted and recovered by a crane. When the air inflow valve 7 is opened, air enters the air chamber 1 and returns to the first step. By repeating this operation, compressed air can be obtained any number of times. Moreover, the compressed air according to the internal volume in the compressed air recovery container 9 can be recovered by repeating the above steps without removing the compressed air recovery container 9 from the container body 2.

エネルギー問題の解決の有力な手段となるであろう。According to the conventional usage form of compressed air, energy obtained by another method is converted into compressed air and then converted into power suitable for the purpose of use, which is the final purpose of machine tools and measurement. It has been used in various fields such as air conditioning and labor saving, and can be said to be a secondary use form of energy. At present, we rely on fossil fuels and nuclear power as energy sources necessary for civilized society, so we are facing many problems such as reserve constraints, serious accidents, and environmental pollution due to waste. . The present invention is such that sealed air is submerged in water using a weight, compressed, and allowed to float and recover using the buoyancy with the volume as it is, for example, a sinking weight. Compressed in water such as in the sea, except for energy for mounting, energy for crane operation to suspend the device with a crane and sink to the sea, etc. The gravity action of the sinking weight, the hydraulic action, and the buoyancy action due to the hydraulic pressure, which are necessary in the process of obtaining air, use natural energy, and the sinking weight consumed is any substance if the specific gravity is greater than that of water. But you can use it. As described above, the present invention can mainly use natural energy to create a non-polluting energy called compressed air, and can solve the energy problem that may be a factor of the problem of global environmental pollution and the limit of growth of civilized society. It will be a powerful tool.
