Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate wind power generation by winding an outside of a magnet moving axially with a cylindrical generating coil, mounting one end of the magnet via a spring in a housing, and connecting the other end to a balloon sealed with lighter gas than the air through a rope and a block. CONSTITUTION:A cylindrical magnet 6 magnetized at both ends with N and S poles is wound with a generating coil 4, and axially movably provided in a housing 7 to constitute a generator 3. One end of the magnet 6 has a connecting rod 5, a frame 9, a bearing 8 and a connecting ring 5a, and is connected to a housing 13 through a spring 12. The other end of the magnet 6 has a frame 9, a connecting rod 5, a connecting ring 5a and a bearing 8, and is connected to a balloon 1 sealed with gas lighter than the air such as He through a rope 10 and a block 11. The He is sealed from a gas reservoir 17 through a tube 16 by a pump 15. Strong and weak energies of wind are transmitted to the magnet 6 via the balloon 1 to reciprocate the magnet 6 to the coil 4, thereby inducing a voltage in the coil 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a small-power generator using wind power.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a wind power generator using a wind turbine as a power generator using wind power. A windmill rotates a propeller by natural wind, guides this rotating force to a rotating shaft of a generator, and rotates the generator to generate electric power.

Due to the recent advances in semiconductor technology, the voltage and electric energy required for the operation of electronic devices / apparatuses have been gradually reduced, and wind power has been used as an independent small power source for remote islands and mountainous remote areas. The utility value of small-power generators is increasing, and the range of practical applications is expanding even with small amounts of power, such as combining with power generation using solar cells.

[0004]

Since the wind direction and the wind force of natural wind change every moment, a wind power generator using a wind turbine has a wind direction that constantly changes the axial direction of the wind turbine from the viewpoint of supplying stable power. To match, the mechanism is complicated. In addition, the structure should be robust so that the propeller is not destroyed during strong winds, or a mechanism for reducing the effect of strong winds.

An object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost power generator with an extremely simple structure.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a balloon filled with a gas lighter than air, a cylindrically wound power generating coil, and a reciprocating movable unit are arranged along the axial direction of the power generating coil. A magnet, a rope connecting one end of the magnet to the balloon, and a pulling force of the balloon acting on the magnet,
And a spring for exerting a spring force on the magnet.

[0007]

In the present invention, the balloon is pushed in the air and returned by the natural wind whose wind direction and wind force change momentarily, and the rope connecting the balloon and the magnet repeats the elasticity of the spring. The magnet is reciprocally moved inside the power generating coil, and the magnetic flux of the magnet interlinking with the power generating coil is changed to induce a voltage in the power generating coil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a power generator using a balloon, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

The balloon 1 is formed of a thin and durable material in an airtight manner, and a gas lighter than air such as helium is filled therein.

The generator 3 of the generator 2 has a cylindrical coil 4 and a connecting coil at both ends which is arranged so as to be reciprocally movable in the axial direction along the central axis of the coil 4. 5 and a fixed magnet 6.

The connecting rod 5 has a fixed length, has a connecting ring 5a at its tip, and a shaft portion 5b at the center thereof slides smoothly by a bearing 8 provided in a casing 7 of the generator 3. Can be mounted as possible. Further, a collar 9 is fixed to the shaft portion 5b of the connecting rod 5 so that the magnet 6 reciprocates within a certain range.

The balloon 1 and the connecting ring 5a of one connecting rod 5 of the magnet 6 of the generator 3 are connected via a pulley 11 by a light and strong rope 10.

Further, the other connecting rod 5 of the magnet 6 of the generator 3 is connected.
The connection ring 5 a of is fixed to the housing 13 of the power generation device 2 by the spring 12.

When the balloon 1 is floated in the air, the balloon 1 is pushed and returned by the natural wind whose wind direction and wind force are changing every moment, and the rope 1 connecting the balloon 1 and the magnet 6 is connected.
0 is pulled and also relaxed.

When the magnet 6 repeats the reciprocating movement within the power generating coil 4 within a certain range according to the movement of the rope 10, the magnetic flux of the magnet 6 interlinking with the power generating coil 4 changes. An alternating voltage is induced in the magneto coil 4. This AC voltage is converted into a constant DC voltage by a rectifier circuit and a constant voltage circuit (not shown) to charge the storage battery 14.

The generated electric power does not have a constant voltage, and a means for accumulating the electric power is required as a measure against windlessness. Here, as an example, the method using the storage battery 14 is explained. Water is electrolyzed with the obtained power,
It is also possible to employ a method using chemical energy, in which hydrogen and oxygen are created and stored, and then converted into electric power again by a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell when there is no wind.

As a measure against strong wind, the gas in the balloon 1 is discharged into the gas reservoir 17 by the pump 15 through the pipe 16 connected to the balloon 1.
The lift of the balloon 1 is reduced and the tension of the rope 10 is adjusted. The rotation direction and rotation speed of the pump 15 can be automatically controlled according to the wind force.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A balloon filled with a gas lighter than air, a cylindrical power generation coil, a magnet arranged to be capable of reciprocating along the axial direction of the power generation coil, and a rope connecting one end of the magnet to the balloon. A spring that acts on the magnet to exert a spring force against the pulling force of the balloon that acts on the magnet is provided, so that the strength of the wind is transmitted to the magnet through the balloon, and the magnet reciprocates with respect to the magneto coil. Since the voltage is induced in the generator coil, the structure can be extremely simplified and the cost can be reduced.
