[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a buoyancy ball which floats in a water tank by its own buoyancy and rotates the rotator by its own gravity by being placed around the rotator. The present invention relates to a rotating device that generates energy in a rotating body that is rotated by successive circulation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of rotating devices that generate rotational energy by utilizing air buoyancy in water have been proposed. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 55-37571, 56-113065, and 56-11857
No. 5, JP-A-56-161184, JP-A-5-161184
As described in JP-A-124378, air is supplied from the bottom side of a water tank to a bucket attached to a circulating belt, and the belt is circulated and rotated by using the buoyancy of the air stored in the bucket. Buoyancy bucket circulation type. Also, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-23573, one of the left and right halves of the rotating vehicle is arranged in a water tank, and the buoyancy chamber and the gravitational chamber are alternately arranged to partition the inside of the rotating vehicle,
There is a buoyancy-rotating wheel type in which a rotating wheel is rotated by buoyancy in a buoyancy chamber located in a water tank and by gravity in a gravity chamber located outside the water tank. Furthermore, the actual opening 60-1
No. 75873, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 1-113578, etc., between a number of contracting air boxes attached to a belt circulating in a water tank, between an upper tank and a lower tank. There is an air exchange buoyancy bucket circulation type in which a belt is rotated by sequentially moving and moving air in and out. Furthermore, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-129338 proposed by the present inventor, air is supplied from the shaft of the rotating vehicle to an air storage chamber formed around the periphery of the rotating vehicle rotating in a water tank, There is a shaft air supply type in which the rotating vehicle itself is rotated by the buoyancy obtained in the air storage chamber and the gravity obtained by the liquid entering the air storage chamber in the upward direction.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned buoyancy bucket circulation type, the bucket cannot reliably capture air unless the supplied air is circulated so that the bucket is positioned in the middle of the floating. In some cases, the trapping efficiency is deteriorated and the supply air is wasted. In the case of the buoyant rotating wheel type, the rotating wheel rotating inside and outside the water tank must be firmly sealed at the boundary surface with the water tank, and a rotational friction resistance is generated between the rotating means and the sealing means. Was difficult to obtain. Furthermore, in the air-replacement buoyancy bucket circulation type, air movement from the upper air box to the lower air box may not be performed reliably,
When the air was not sufficiently supplied to the lower air box, a predetermined buoyancy was not generated in some cases. Furthermore, the shaft air supply type requires a forcible supply of air to the inside of the shaft and to the spoke-shaped air supply paths, so a slight loss of air pressure is recognized, and it is not always efficient. It was not.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned various circumstances, and is floated in a water tank by buoyancy generated therein, and is loaded and placed on an upper part of a rotating body juxtaposed with the water tank. By preparing a buoyancy ball that makes the rotating body rotate by its own weight,
A large number of the buoyancy balls are sequentially circulated between the water tank and the rotating body so that energy can be obtained from the rotating body. The buoyancy generated in the water tank causes the buoyancy ball to return from the lower position to the upper position of the rotating body, so that repeated gravity can be smoothly applied to the rotating body, and the water tank is sealed inside and outside the water tank. The buoyancy ball is returned from the rotator at the lower part of the water tank, and the loading operation of the buoyancy ball to the rotator at the upper part of the water tank can be reliably performed. An object is to provide a rotating device capable of generating energy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the first invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a water tank whose inside is held in a vacuum state. In the lower part of the water tank 1, there is formed an input / return port 2 into which a buoyancy ball 10 dropped and returned from a rotating body 20 which will be described later, which is juxtaposed with the water tank 1, is opened.
A ball input seal mechanism 30 provided with a sealing means 35 is provided at the upper portion so that the buoyancy ball 10 floated in the water tank 1 is carried out of the water tank 1 and inserted and mounted on the rotating body 20.

The water tank 1 itself is hermetically sealed at the upper part with the outside, and has an inlet / return port 2 formed at the lower part. The water tank 1 is formed in a substantially vertically long shape having substantially the same height as the rotating body 20. ing. The charging / returning port 2 is separated from water filled in the water tank 1 via a partition wall 3 connected to the front wall, for example, at a lower part of the water tank 1 itself gradually widened in the front-rear direction as it reaches the lower part. The buoyancy ball 10 that is rolled by its own weight on the inclined return passage 4 from the rotating body 20 disposed in front of the charging / return port 2 is automatically formed by opening the upper surface. It is designed to be dropped. In addition, the buoyancy ball 10 thrown into the charging / return port 2 is guided by its own weight falling action along the guide slope 5 formed inside the front part of the charging / return port 2 to the bottom of the water tank 1 in a submerged state. It is made to float by its own buoyancy.

As shown in FIG. 3, the buoyancy ball 10 is a gravitational body 1 made of a heavy material having a large weight density, such as lead, sufficient to rotate the rotating body 20 by its own weight.
1 is provided at the center, and is formed in a spherical shape in which an air chamber 14 surrounded by an outer shell wall 13 is provided with a partition wall 12 arranged radially around the gravity body 11. The buoyancy ball 10 itself is buried in the water tank 1 by a gas such as air sealed in an air chamber 14 so as to have a buoyancy that floats in the water tank 1 when the buoyancy ball 10 is introduced into the water tank 1.
The weight by 1 is balanced. In addition, assuming that a floating speed related to the density of water or the like sealed in the water tank 1 is set in accordance with the rotation speed when the rotating body 20 is rotated by the weight of the buoyancy ball 10, The number of buoyancy balls 10 circulating with the water tank 1 is always constant.

On the other hand, the rotating body 20 shown in the drawing has a circulating structure, for example, between the upper and lower pulleys 22 and 23 rotatably supported by upper and lower bearings 21 disposed on a suitable frame, respectively. A large number of bucket-shaped ball receivers 25 are continuously arranged on a circulating member 24 such as a chain, a belt, or a belt-like body that is wrapped around the belt. The rotating body 20 itself is not limited to the circulating structure shown in the illustrated example.
It is also possible to form it as a rotating wheel shape not shown, and which one is adopted is arbitrary. A driven circulating member B is looped around the upper pulley 22 of the rotating body 20 between a driven engine P disposed above the rotating body 20, for example, a driven pulley R of a suitable rotating device. By the rotation of 20, the driven engine P can obtain rotational energy. The rotation of the rotator 20 itself is lowered on one side of the body by the weight of the buoyancy balls 10 which are sequentially loaded from the upper portion of the water tank 1 into the ball receivers 25 arranged on the circulation member 24 of the rotator 20. The buoyancy ball 10 falls from the ball receiver 25 at the lower part of the rotating body 20, and the other half body is lifted up in a no-load state.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a ball injection seal mechanism 30 in the upper portion of the water tank 1 carries out the buoyancy ball 10 floating in the water tank 1 from the water tank 1 to rotate the rotator 20.
The inside of the water tank 1 at the time of loading and loading is shut off from the outside,
The inside of the water tank 1 is kept sealed.
Therefore, the ball throw-in / seal mechanism 30 includes a throw-down throwing path 31 connected to the upper part of the water tank 1 from the upper part of the water tank 1 to an upper part of the rotating body 20 and a buoyancy ball 10 floating on the water surface of the water tank 1. Carrying out means 32 for carrying out to
Sealing means 35 is provided to allow the buoyancy ball 10 to roll in the throwing path 31 but to block the inside of the water tank 1 from the outside air.

The charging path 31 itself extends from the upper part of the water tank 1 to the rotating body 2.
0, the water tank 1 side is high and the rotating body 20 side is set to have a descending slope so as to reach the upper ball receiving body 25 on the lower half body side, and the rotating body 20 side is set by the weight of the buoyancy ball 10 itself. It is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter substantially corresponding to the outer diameter of the buoyancy ball 10 so as to be rollable. Sealing means 3 provided in this charging path 31
Considering the efficiency of the function of maintaining the vacuum in the water tank 1 by blocking the outside air by 5, the outer peripheral surface of the rolling buoyancy ball 10 should be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the charging path 31. Is desirable.

The unloading means 32 is suitable for unloading and loading the buoyancy ball 10 floating on the water surface onto the loading path 31 by, for example, scooping up the buoyancy ball 10 on the rotating shaft 33 supported between the left and right side walls in the upper part of the water tank 1. Several scooping pieces 34 are arranged, and each of the floating buoyancy balls 10 is
The rotation is controlled so as to be sequentially carried out to the charging path 31 from the first position.

The sealing means 35 includes a plurality of hermetic shielding chambers 3 provided by an appropriate number of shielding plates 36 which are disposed in the throwing path 31 so as to be able to protrude and retract in the throwing path 31 in correspondence with the rolling contact of the buoyancy balls 10.
7, a vacuum pump 38 for evacuating each of the hermetic shielding chambers 37 is connected to the hermetic shielding chamber 37. In the drawing, the input path 31 itself has three shielding plates 36.
Are divided into four airtight shielding chambers 37, but these numbers are arbitrarily selected. In short, the shielding plates 36 which are sequentially opened and closed corresponding to the rolling of the buoyancy ball 10 are formed.
It is only necessary that the airtight shielding chamber 37 in which the inside is sequentially vacuum-processed ensures that the inside and outside of the water tank 1 are airtightly shut off. In the figure, reference numeral 39 denotes a door-bag-shaped shield plate storage part which is kept airtight from the outside so that the shield plate 36 is stored when the inside of the charging path 31 is opened, and the vacuum pump 38 is as shown in the figure. The invention is not limited to the case where the airtight shielding chamber 37 is provided for each of the airtight shielding chambers 37, but may be a common one via an intake pipe connected to each of the airtight shielding chambers 37.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of the sealing means 35 is shielded by a shielding plate 36, and is suctioned through a vacuum pump 38 to maintain the inside of the hermetic shielding chamber 37 in a vacuum state. In the first hermetic shielding room 3

When 0 is carried in and out, the buoyancy ball 10 in contact with the first shielding plate 36 is stopped in the first hermetic shielding chamber 37 (see FIG. 2A). Then, the first shielding plate 36 is connected to the input path 31.
Is released, the buoyancy ball 1 reaches the position of the second shielding plate 36 of the second hermetic shielding chamber 37 that closes the inside of the charging path 31.
0 is rolled (see FIG. 2B). Next, the second shielding plate 36 is opened while the inside of the charging path 31 is closed by the first shielding plate 36, and the third shielding of the third hermetic shielding chamber 37 closing the inside of the charging path 31 is performed. The buoyancy ball 10 is rolled to the position of the plate 36 (see FIG. 2C). In this way, the buoyancy balls 10 are sequentially thrown from the upper part of the water tank 1 to the rotating body 20 side by sequentially opening and closing the shielding plate 36 while maintaining the vacuum airtight state from the outside in each airtight shielding chamber 37. The rolling speed associated with the opening and closing of the shielding plate 36 in the insertion path 31 is such that the number of buoyancy balls 10 circulating between the rotating body 20 and the water tank 1 is always constant as described above. Is associated with

Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the buoyancy ball 10 inserted into the inlet / return port 2 at the lower portion of the water tank 1 floats in the water of the water tank 1 by buoyancy, the water tank 1
The buoyancy ball is conveyed into and put into the charging path 31 through the discharging means 32 of the ball charging seal mechanism 30 provided at the upper part, and the inside of the charging path 31 is kept in a vacuum state in which the inside of the charging path 31 is isolated from the outside by the sealing means 35. The roller 10 is rolled by its own weight, and is sequentially dropped and placed in the ball receiver 25 located above the rotating body 20. Then, the rotator 20 is rotated by the load of the appropriate number of buoyancy balls 10 loaded on the half body side of the rotator 20, and the buoyancy ball 10 descending with this rotation is moved to the ball receiver 2 at the lower position of the rotator 20.
Fall from 5. The dropped buoyancy ball 10 is returned to the water tank 1 again through the return passage 4 and the charging return port 2, and rises in the water tank 1 by the buoyancy generated in the buoyancy ball 10 itself. In this way, the ball charging seal mechanism 30 rotates again. It circulates so as to be put on the body 20 and rotates the rotating body 20.

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In the water tank 1, the lower part of the water tank 1 is maintained more airtight with the outside than the first embodiment described above. On the other hand, the upper part is basically the same except that it is open to the outside, and the configurations of the buoyancy ball 10 and the rotating body 20 are basically different from those of the first invention. Therefore, different points from the first invention will be described below, and those common to the first invention will be denoted by the same reference numerals.

That is, into the upper part of the water tank 1, a downwardly inclined injection path 41 connected to the upper part of the water tank 1 from the upper part of the water tank 1 to the upper part of the rotating body 20, and the buoyancy ball 10 floating on the water surface of the water tank 1 are injected. And a ball return seal mechanism 40 for returning the buoyancy ball 10 to the lower portion of the water tank 1 while maintaining the hermetic sealing of the lower portion of the water tank 1 at the lower portion of the water tank 1. . The ball return seal mechanism 40 is connected to the lower part of the water tank 1 so as to return the buoyancy balls 10 dropped from the rotating body 20 to the lower part inside the water tank 1, and includes a plurality of buoyancy balls 10 rollingly arranged therein.

The charging path 41 itself extends from the upper part of the water tank 1 to the rotating body 2.
0, the water tank 1 side is high and the rotating body 20 side is set to have a descending slope so as to reach the upper ball receiving body 25 on the lower half body side, and the buoyancy ball 10 is rotated by its own weight. The buoyancy ball 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter not smaller than the outer diameter of the buoyancy ball 10 so as to be able to roll to the side, or in a groove shape having a width not smaller than the buoyancy ball 10.

The return passage 42 is connected to a receiving portion 43 for receiving the buoyancy ball 10 falling from the ball receiver 25 located at a position below the rotating rotator 20, and the receiving portion 43 is connected to the receiving portion 43 via a step portion 44. 1 and a cylindrical carry-in portion 45 connected to the lower portion, and the whole as a whole is higher on the rotating body 20 side and lower on the water tank 1 side from the rotating body 20 side to the water tank 1 side. The downward slope is desirably set. The receiving portion 43 is formed in an upwardly open groove shape having a width not smaller than the outer diameter of the buoyancy ball 10, and the carry-in portion 45 is configured to be capable of forcibly rolling toward the water tank 1. Is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter substantially corresponding to the outer diameter of the cylinder. The inside of the water tank 1 is shut off from outside air by sealing the inside of the carry-in section 45 with a plurality of buoyancy balls 10 arranged adjacent to each other in the carry-in section 45, and has a vacuum maintaining function. The outer peripheral surface of the buoyancy ball 10 rolling in consideration of the certainty is made to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the carry-in portion 45.

It is linked. Further, the synchronous wheel 5 rotating in synchronization with the forced pushing-in of the buoyancy balls 10 into the water tank 1 by the loading means 46 one by one.

[0025]

The present invention is configured as described above.
For this reason, a buoyancy ball is prepared in which the buoyancy is generated by the buoyancy generated in the water tank, and the rotator itself is rotated by its own weight by being thrown into the upper part of the rotating body which is juxtaposed with the water tank. Energy can be obtained from the rotating body by sequentially circulating a large number of the buoyancy balls between the water tank and the rotating body. That is, the buoyancy generated in the water tank raises and returns the buoyancy ball from the lower position to the upper position of the rotating body, so that the weight of the rotating body can be continuously and smoothly applied from the upper part thereof. The buoyancy ball dropped from the rotating body at the lower part of the water tank can be returned while maintaining the hermeticity of the water tank, and the loading of the buoyancy ball on the rotating body at the upper part of the water tank can be reliably performed. And a predetermined amount of energy can be generated.

In addition, the buoyancy ball is airtightly sealed to the outside either when the buoyancy ball is dropped from the rotating body side at the lower part of the water tank and is carried back in, or when the buoyancy ball is loaded and unloaded at the upper part of the water tank toward the rotating body side. , The buoyancy ball can be carried in and out of the water tank, that is, in the lower part and carried out in the upper part. Moreover, it can be lifted in the water tank by its own buoyancy and brought from the lower position to the upper position in the rotating body, and the buoyancy circulating sequentially. The rotating body can be continuously rotated by the ball.

Further, in the water tank, even if one of the upper part and the lower part is opened, the other is hermetically sealed from the outside, so that the buoyancy ball filled in the water tank is raised for buoyancy. Water is less likely to leak out of the water tank, and stable operation can be obtained for a long period of time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, rotation of the buoyancy ball circulating between the water tank and the rotating body by applying a load to the half body side of the rotating body under a load load, and from the lower position on the rotating body due to the increase in buoyancy in the water tank. Rotational driving force can be obtained in the rotating body by returning to the upper position and placing the buoyancy ball again on the rotating body upper part, and this rotating driving force can be generated by, for example, generation of electric power by a generator or other various devices. It can be used as a versatile engine that can generate a predetermined amount of energy, such as being usable as a drive source.
