Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make power generation or the like performable in an energy-saving manner by executing four cycles of a flood state, a tidal stop state in time of high water, an ebb state, and a tidal stop state in time of low water by means of a changeover of opening or closing the valve of a tank working two different operations, thereby generating the force of the wind. SOLUTION: Two tanks 1 and 2 are set up in a shallow seabed, and when the tide is full, seawater is made to flow into both these tanks 1 and 2, and air in a tank upper part is pushed upward. At this time, the air pushed up in the tank 1 is led out into a pipe in a factory, while at the tank 2, all valves are closed and thereby air pressure is raised up. When turning to a tidal stop state, and air blast from the tank 1 is weakened, wind power is generated in the pipe at the factory through pressurized air in the tank 2. In addition, when the tide is turned to the lowering, outside air is made to flow into the factory, and thereby the tank 2 is in a state of being decompressed, and when turning to the tidal stop state, the wind power is generated in the pipe in the factory in use of decompressing force in the tank 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides four cycles of a rising tide, a tide at high tide, a tide at low tide, and a tide at low tide by controlling the opening and closing of two differently functioning tank valves. This is a device that continuously generates wind power on pipes in a factory to be used.

[0002] The wind power flowing through a pipe in a factory can be controlled to a constant wind power by closing a valve.
Also, by changing the valve that opens and closes, the direction of the wind flowing through the pipes in the factory can be changed.

The minimum wind power required in a factory can be calculated from three conditions: the lowest tide level throughout the year, the size of two tanks, and the cross-sectional area of pipes in the factory.

[0004] The pressure of each tank, the pressure and the wind power of each location in the pipe are centrally managed in the factory, and the valves of each location are automatically opened and closed based on the data.

[0005] When clearing the pressure in each tank, it is desirable to clear the pressure in a short time. Therefore, the pressure clear pipe is provided with a large diameter or a plurality of pipes.

【Example】

Tank 1 and tank 2 have gentle waves as shown above.
It is desirable to fix it on the relatively shallow seabed. When the tide rises, seawater flows in from the window at the bottom of the tank and pushes up the air at the top of the tank. At this time, the pushed up air flows through the pipes in the factory through the blast pipe in the tank 1. On the other hand, since all valves are closed in the tank 2, the pressure of the air rises, and when the tide approaches high tide, the tide stops and the ventilation from the tank 1 is weakened. The produced air is passed through a pipe in the factory through a blower pipe. When the tide starts to fall, seawater flows out of the window at the bottom of the tank and pulls down the air at the top of the tank. At this time, in tank 1, external air flows through the pipes in the factory, through the suction pipe, The air flows into tank 1 and all valves are closed in tank 2, so the air is in a reduced pressure state. When the tide approaches low tide, the tide stops and the flow of air into tank 1 becomes weak. At this time, the air from the outside flows through the pipes in the factory and is sucked into the depressurized tank 2. By repeating this cycle, pipes in factories that try to use wind power
Wind power can be generated continuously.

The present apparatus is an apparatus for generating wind power, but the size of the tank is temporarily set to 250 m in width and 3000 m in length.
m, if the pipe diameter is 1 m, and the tide level is 2 m, the wind speed flowing through the pipes in the factory will be about 100 m per second if the calculation is simply made with the rising tide being 5 hours. Under these conditions, the pipe diameter is reduced by half. If it is 0.5 m, the wind speed flowing through the pipes in the factory will reach about 400 m per second, and since this is not a temporary but a continuous wind generator, it will be used in various fields for industrial use. Available at
If this device is used for power generation, there are a number of major advantages. Unlike nuclear power and thermal power, there is no need for fuel first. So, we have to worry about the world's political uncertainty and secure fuel.
In addition, the cost of these fuels accounts for a large part of the electricity rate, and leakage of radioactivity and emission of carbon monoxide cause environmental destruction, which is a serious social problem. Generating power using the tidal level of this device is called tidal power generation. This tidal power generation is a revolutionary power generation system that can solve all of the above-mentioned problems of nuclear power generation and thermal power generation. The fact that the energy of power generation is wind power is different from the high-pressure steam of nuclear power generation and thermal power generation in that there is no fear of the energy decay due to the temperature drop. And place it in one place or two
The energy can be concentrated in several places to produce huge energy, which can be used to turn the power generation turbine to produce a large output.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. 1 is a graph of the tide level fluctuation. One tide level fluctuation is divided into four cycles, and the time at that time and the energy brought into the tank can be estimated.

FIG. 2 When the tide rises, the air in the tank 1 is pushed out by the pipe by the tidal volume and flows through the factory as indicated by the arrow. When the wind power in the factory is too strong, throttle the valve of A or D. In this way, the wind power in the factory is controlled by squeezing the valve at the entrance of the factory and the valve at the outlet. Because of the closed state, the air pressure increases. The open / closed state of the valve at this time is. . . Open valves are A and D, closed valves are B, C, E,
F, G, H.

FIG. 3 is a diagram of the tide level fluctuation in the tank and the state of the air flow.
In the rising tide, the tide level rises up to the solid line. In the tank 1, the air of the volume between the dotted line and the solid line is pushed out from the ventilation pipe, while in the tank 2, the air is closed. The volume of air remains as compressed air.

FIG. 4 When the tide is stopped at the time of high tide, since wind power from the tank 1 cannot be obtained, wind power from the tank 2 in a high pressure state is obtained. At this time, the valve G of the tank 1 is opened,
Clear the pressure in tank 1, once the pressure is cleared,
Close valve G. The open / closed state of the valve at this time is. . . The open valves are E and D and the closed valves are A, B, C, F, G, H.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a change in tide level in a tank and a state of air flow. In tank 1, air movement stops.
In the tank 2, the compressed air flows through the factory through the blower pipe and is discharged to the outside.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state of ebb from the outside when the ebb tide is in effect, drawing air from the outside into the tank 1 to obtain wind power in the factory, and opening the valve H to clear the pressure in the tank 2; Is cleared, the valve H is closed to create a reduced pressure state. The open / closed state of the valve at this time is. . . Open valves are B and C, closed valves are A,
D, E, F, G, H.

FIG. 7 is a diagram of the tide level fluctuation in the tank and the state of the air flow.
The air of the volume between the dotted line and the solid line, which goes down to the solid line portion, is drawn into the tank 1 through the suction pipe, and the tank 2 is in a sealed state, so that the pressure is reduced.

FIG. 8 When the tide is stopped at low tide, the air from the outside is drawn into the depressurized tank 2 to obtain wind power in the factory, and the valve G is opened in the tank 1 by opening the valve G. Clear, once the pressure in tank 1 is cleared,
Close valve G. The open / closed state of the valve at this time is. . . The open valves are B and F and the closed valves are A, C, D, E, G, H.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a change in tide level in the tank and a flow of air. In tank 1, there is no change in tide level, and there is no pressure. Air is drawn into the tank through the suction pipe.
