BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of obtaining buoyancy by injecting gas to raise a floating body in a liquid and to cause a rotational motion by the gravity of the mass of the body to generate a motive force. It is a thing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional motive force for generating mechanical energy of a prime mover is electricity, gas, oil, coal, nuclear power, etc., and conventional techniques to be compared are not applicable.

[0003]

Considering the mechanical characteristics of the energy generator of the present invention, it is desirable to use the generated rotational energy to generate electricity. Therefore, current power generation is roughly classified into hydropower, thermal power, and nuclear power generation, but considering the problems in each energy generation, hydropower requires large-scale capital investment to build a dam, and construction work is also required. Over a long period of time, the construction site is topographically limited, and changing the mountain to a dam lake will lose the livelihood of the people living there, leading to depopulation and major natural destruction. Also,
Even if the dam was constructed, there was a problem that about 98% of the total stored water was deposited like the Senzu Dam, which is a tributary of the Oi River system.

[0004] In thermal power generation, future energy crisis due to the use of finite fossil fuel to turn the power generation turbine, global warming due to generation of large amount of carbon dioxide, and steam used. Since it is cooled by seawater, there is a problem of energy efficiency in that the marine ecosystem environment of the surrounding areas and rivers is deteriorated due to the rise of seawater temperature, and that less than 40% of the heat of burning fuel is converted into electricity.

Nuclear power generation requires a reduction in construction cost and an improvement in facility utilization rate, and as with thermal power generation, there is a danger of environmental collapse due to hot cooling water, efficient resource utilization, and establishment of a nuclear fuel cycle. , The most problematic is the global pollution caused by the reprocessing of spent fuel emitted by nuclear power generation all over the world, the pollution problem of the permanent disposal of radioactive waste that has been stored, and the applied corrosion cracking of light water reactors at full power operation due to base load. There were problems such as breakdowns caused by.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention issued a patent in 1978 to generate power by utilizing the force of an individual floating in a liquid, which floats in the liquid and moves up and down by increasing or decreasing the liquid level. To invent the method and make it more efficient,
The present invention has been devised to raise an individual by injecting and discharging gas instead of liquid and generating power by gravity when an individual whose buoyancy has risen to the upper limit falls.

According to the law of conservation of energy, in order to pull up an individual dropped from the position of the point A to the position of the point A, the same energy as that of the fall is usually required. When the present invention is used for power generation, it is possible to easily raise an individual to point A by injecting gas into the auxiliary container below the individual in a liquid by a blower with low power consumption. The power consumption of the blower is extremely low compared to the amount of power generated by the rotational power generated by the gravity of the falling object. The difference between the amount of power generation and the consumption is large, and the present invention is to utilize this difference.

[0008]

[Operation] Place the auxiliary container face down on the bottom of the individual in the container,
When gas is sent to the auxiliary container, the auxiliary container floats up,
The liquid in the auxiliary container is pushed out, the liquid level rises, and the upper limit is reached due to the buoyancy of the solid and the auxiliary container.

When the upper limit is reached, the injection of gas is stopped, and at the same time, in the case of a drop motion due to the gravity of the individual, the shutter at the bottom of the container is opened all at once so that the weight of the individual is maximally utilized. Then, the auxiliary container is operated so as to reach the bottom dead center before the bottom surface of the individual, and the falling kinetic energy due to the gravity of the individual is converted into rotational energy to obtain power.

[0010]

EXAMPLES In the examples according to the present invention, the rising and falling solids were floats 1, the container outside the solids was a float chamber 2, and the gas to be injected was air and the liquid was water. In order to obtain smoother rotational energy by converting falling energy into rotational energy, two floating chambers are set as one set, and each floating unit moves up and down so as to oppose each other, and five sets are arranged side by side. Rotational energy is transmitted to the central main shaft 3 to obtain a rotation speed adapted to the generator 47 by the accelerator. (Fig. 1)

The float has a rack 4 attached to its center of gravity, and has a cubic shape and a lid.
Put sand 5 in the float so that the weight is 5%, and in the float chamber where the size is 5 mm larger than the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the float, make the vertical and horizontal dimensions the same as the float. The auxiliary container 6 whose height is higher than the stroke of the float is laid down and the float is put therein. (Fig. 2)

An injection pipe 7 with a backflow preventive valve for injecting air and an exhaust pipe 8 with a shutter for exhausting air are attached to the bottom surface of the float chamber, and the air is injected / exhausted by a pouring / discharging device in the lower part of the float chamber.

One stroke of the float is the length of one rotation of the gear 9, and the auxiliary container of one float is floated by the air sent from the blower 36, and when it comes into contact with the bottom of the float, the surrounding water level rises. When the float rises due to buoyancy, the gear and shaft L10 and ratchet gear L11 that are biting in the rack
Rotates to the right, but the ratchet claw L12 is not suspended, so power is not transmitted to the main shaft and when the top dead center of one stroke is reached, the convex portion on the top of the rack causes the micro switch 13
To stop the floatation of the float. (Fig. 3)

At the same time, when the other float starts descending, the gear engaged with the rack and the shaft R14 rotate counterclockwise, the ratchet gear R15 attached to the shaft R hangs on the ratchet pawl R16, and the disk 1 with the ratchet pawl R attached.
7 rotates and transmits to the sprocket 18 attached to the disk, and the chain M19 rotates the main shaft.

The air injecting / extracting device for the floats to move in opposite directions at the same time is mounted on the bearing 20 with a slide rack 21 so that the teeth face each other via a cross gear 22. In order to operate, the rotation is transmitted from the sprocket M23 of the main shaft to the shaft S25 at the lower part of the floating chamber by the chain S24, and the arm 28 of the rotor 26 attached to the shaft S acts on the lever 28. (FIG. 4)

This lever is operated by an electromagnet switching rotary switch, which rotates the drum 30 from the main shaft to the chain R29 so that the drum 30 becomes a quarter of the main shaft. 5 sets of ridges and ridges half the length of the outer circumference are attached by shifting them by 1/5 of the outer rim, and the roller switch 31 traces over the ridges and cuts.
When it is turned on and off, the electromagnet 32 of the slide rack for discharge operates, the lever rises by the principle of lever, and the arm kicks to operate the slide rack for discharge with the rod 33 attached, and the cross・ The slide rack for injection with the rod attached by the gear also works in opposition. At the time of entry, the lever of the injection slide rack rises, the arm acts to operate the injection slide rack, and similarly the ejection slide rack operates. (Fig. 5)

FIG. 6 shows a pendulum-shaped disc F in which a rod mounted on a slide rack by an air injection device uses a spring F34.
35, actuating the switching valve 37 that branches the air sent from the blower 36 in two directions in conjunction with the disk,
Inject air into the auxiliary container through the injection pipes with check valves at the bottom of the left and right floating chambers. There is a solenoid valve S38 on the opposite side of this switch valve across the blower, and when the float reaches the top dead center, the upper part of the rack activates the micro switch, the solenoid valve S operates, and the air of the blower is discharged to the outside. The float stops at top dead center because it is not injected into the auxiliary container.

A movable bar 41 for operating the discharge lever 40 of the air discharge shutter 39 is attached to the rod attached to the discharge slide rack below the floating chamber, and when the shutter is closed to the movable bar 41. The pendulum-shaped disc R43 using the spring R42 acts so that the shutter does not return to the right position. When the shutter of the floating chamber on the right side is closed, the shutter of the floating chamber on the left side is opened. , The air in the auxiliary container is evacuated and lowered earlier than the float, and the gravitational energy of the entire mass of the float is transmitted to the main shaft. (Figure 7)

Each of the main shafts is connected by a coupling 44, and a worm 45 is attached to the main shaft at the tip of the main shaft so that the five floats do not drop suddenly when the floats are switched from rising to falling. It is dropped in the same time as the rising float in combination with the de motor 46.

In FIG. 8, the main shaft with low rotation and strong torque, which is a combination of five sets, has a coupling at the tip of the main shaft in order to increase the number of rotations required to rotate the generator 47. First shaft 4
Connect to 8. Sprocket ratio 3 from this first shaft
The V-belt 50 is transmitted to the second shaft 49 by pair 1, and is accelerated and transmitted to the fourth shaft 51 in accordance with the rotation of the generator.

A generator is installed coaxially with the fourth shaft,
After the rotation of the fourth shaft is stabilized, a flywheel is attached to the fourth shaft side by the clutch system 52 similar to that of a car, and a clutch disc is attached to the shaft 53 on the generator side to release the diaphragm spring. -The bearing rotates the generator by pulling the clutch / lever 54 and engaging the clutch, but originally it has a low speed and strong torque, so it seems more desirable to install a multi-pole, low-rotation generator. The number of shafts may be reduced in consideration of transmission loss.

[0022]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. With this invention, fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal, which are currently energy sources, and uranium can be made into valuable raw materials for the chemical industry and chemical fiber by not consuming and replenishing them. However, because there is no fuel, it becomes cheaper and can make a great contribution to society.

Also, there are no special conditions for the location of the power generation equipment, there is no transmission loss from remote areas to urban areas, and there is no special sacrifice to the water source area. It is the best and final method to be completely pollution-free without damaging the natural environment surrounding the earth due to pollution, such as the deterioration of the marine environment and the problem of radioactivity.

Further, in addition to power generation, various internal combustion engines such as a machine or a motor engine that directly takes in rotary motion can be substituted depending on the scale of installation. Water and air are used in the embodiment, but liquid and gas are used. Depending on the combination of, it is possible to obtain a larger buoyancy and operate efficiently.
