In light of this, there are some unavoidable problems1), and nuclear power is questionable in terms of safety.

Under these circumstances, the trend in power generation technology development is toward non-pollution, safety, exceptionally low production costs, and improved energy conversion efficiency.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention seeks water as an energy source, and focuses on the fact that there is an infinite amount of water, and the cost is almost the only one.The present invention aims to reduce costs by not using fuel, and improve safety and pollution. The purpose is to provide a power generation device that solves these problems.

(Structure of the Invention) That is, in order to achieve this object, the power generation device of the present invention includes a hull storage tank; an upper water storage tank provided with an opening/closing gate; a lower water storage tank having a communication port with the hull storage tank formed in the middle part of the peripheral wall of the hull storage tank, and the communication port provided with an opening/closing date; a hull that is floating in the hull storage tank and moves up and down as the water level increases and decreases and floats and sinks; a hoisting machine that is linked to the up-and-down movement of the hull; A weight that floats and sinks the hull by being placed on the hull in a lowered state; A reciprocating pump whose piston is activated by the vertical movement of the front hull; A Pelton water wheel that is activated by the pressure water jetted from the reciprocating pump. It was decided to adopt a configuration including: a generator driven by the rotational force of the Pelton water turbine;

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The power generation device A of this embodiment includes a hull storage tank 1, an upper water storage tank 2
, a lower water tank 3, a hull 6 provided with a hoisting rock 4 and a weight 5, a reciprocating pump 7, a Pelton water wheel 9, and a generator 8.

First, the water tank structure includes a hull storage tank 1 that is rectangular in plan view, and an upper water tank 2 and a lower water tank 3 that are arranged in two upper and lower stages surrounding the entire circumference of the hull storage tank 1. , and the upper water tank 2 has a number of communication ports 10 facing the hull storage tank 1 formed on the upper part of the peripheral wall of the hull storage tank 1, and each communication port 10 is provided with an opening/closing date 11. The upper water tank 2 is connected to a waterway 12 from the river via a water gate 13. Similarly, the lower water tank 3 also has a number of communication ports 14 facing the hull storage tank 1.
are formed in the middle of the peripheral wall of the hull storage tank 1, and each communication port 14 is provided with an opening/closing gate 15, respectively.

Next, the hull 6 is floated in the hull storage tank 1, and is formed into a three-tiered floor structure with upper, middle, and lower tiers, and the hoisting rock 4 is installed on the upper floor, and heavy Weights 5, 5 are arranged, and when the weight 5 is lifted by the hoisting rock 4, the weight of the hull 6 becomes lighter and the hull 6 rises to the surface.
Conversely, when the weight 5 is placed on the hull 6, the weight of the hull 6 increases, causing the hull 6 to sink. That is, an iron bridge 16 is constructed above the water tank, and a rack par 18 is vertically fixed to a guide frame 17 suspended from the iron bridge 16, and a rack par 18 is connected to the drum 19 of the hoisting rock 4. It has a structure in which gears 2o mesh with each other.

When the hull 6 rises, the gear 2o meshed with the rack par 18 rotates, which causes the drum 19 of the hoist 8!4 to rotate and lift the weight 5 with the rope 21, so that the hull 6 is at the -IJ time. It becomes lighter and floats. In this way, when the hull 6 reaches the maximum point of 141,
In this year, the hull 6 is lowered, and in this case, a magnetic switch (not shown) is activated to disengage the clutch of the gear 2°. Then, the drum 19 becomes slow and the weight 5 falls and is placed on the hull 6, which increases the weight of the hull 6 and causes the hull 6 to sink. In addition, the limit for letting out the rope 21 of the hoisting rock 4 is set at the time when the hull 6 has descended to just before the lowest point.
When the weight 5 reaches the lowest point, the weight 5 is slightly lifted from the floor of the hull 6, and the hull 6 becomes lighter and begins to float toward the lowest point. At this time, the magnetic switch is activated and a clutch with a tooth width of 20 is engaged (), and in parallel with the levitation of the hull 6, the gear 2o meshed with the rack par 18 rotates and rotates the drum 19.
, the hull 6 is maintained in a light state without being burdened by the weight 5 during the ascent.

Note that the ropes 21 of each hoisting PIj, 4 are hung in two, and a weight 5, 5 is suspended from each rope 21, 21 via a double pulley 22, 22. Further, 23 is a reinforcing frame for the guide frame 17, 24
is a rope pulley. Further, the hull 6 is provided with idle rollers that open from the water tank wall in order to prevent lateral vibration during vertical movement.

Next, the reciprocating pump 7 has a sill 25 installed on the iron bridge 16, a piston rod 27 erected on the hull 6, and a piston 28 actuated by vertical movement of the hull 6. In addition, in Figures 1 and 2, 2
Reference numeral 9 denotes a water tank provided in the upper part of the hull storage tank 1, the suction pipe 30 of the reciprocating pump 7 is communicated with this water tank 29, and the discharge pipe 31 of the reciprocating pump 7 is provided with an injection nozzle 32 at its tip. .

The Pelton water wheel 9 is installed on one side of the water tank M29, and is rotated by spraying high-pressure water from the reciprocating pump 7 from four directions onto the packet 33 provided at the lunch.
The rotational force drives the generator 8. The circulating method is such that the water falls into the high-pressure frozen water tank 29 that is injected toward the Pelton turbine 9, is sucked into the reciprocating pump 7 through the suction pipe 30, and is injected from the nozzle 32 through the discharge pipe 31. ing.

Next, the vertical movement process of the hull 6 will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, as a quasi-Ki stage, the water r11 of the lead-in waterway 12 is
3 is opened to store water in the hull storage tank 1 and the upper water storage tank 2. At this time, the opening/closing gate 11 (hereinafter referred to as "upper date") of the upper stage water tank 2 is opened, the opening/closing gate 15 (hereinafter referred to as "lower date") of the lower stage water tank 3 is closed, and the weight 5 is closed. Place it on the hull 6 (Fig. 4-
stomach).

Next, when the water gate 13 and the upper date 11 are closed and the lower date 15 is opened, the water in the hull storage tank 1 flows into the lower water storage tank 3 through the communication port 14, and the water level in the hull storage tank 1 is lowered. Along with this, the hull 6 descends (Fig. 4 - Port). Note that at this time, water is stored in the upper water tank 2.

When the hull 6 reaches its lowest point, the weight 5 has been lifted from the hull 6 just before that, so the hull 6 becomes lighter and begins to float.

At this time, the magnetic switch is activated and the gear 20
Since the clutch is engaged, the weight 5 is maintained lifted from the hull 6 in parallel with the floating of the hull 6. When the hull 6 floats in this state, water corresponding to the volume of the floating water flows into the hull storage tank 1 from the lower water storage [3] (FIG. 4-c).

From this state, when the lower date 15 is closed and the upper date 11 is opened, water will flow into the hull storage tank 1 from the second-tier water tank 2 through the communication port 10.
As a result, the water level in the hull storage tank 1 rises by "1", and the hull 6 rises.

When the hull 6 reaches the highest point, the magnetic switch is activated and the clutch of the gear 20 is disconnected, so the drum 19 of the hoisting machine 4 is slowed down, and the weight 5 falls due to its weight onto the hull 6. will be placed on. When the weight 5 is placed on the hull 6, the hull 6 becomes heavy and sinks, causing water corresponding to the sinking volume to flow into the upper water tank 2 (fourth Figure-H).

Thereafter, the hull 6 is moved up and down in the hull storage tank 1 while repeating the above-described operations.
The pressure water is injected into the Pelton water wheel 9, and the generator 9 is driven by the rotational force of the Pelton water wheel 9 caused by this injection.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings, but the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

In the present invention, the capacity, number, shape, etc. of each part, such as the capacity of each water tank, the capacity of the hull, the number and weight of weights, the capacity and number of reciprocating pumps, etc., may be determined as appropriate in consideration of the capacity to generate electricity and other conditions. You will have to set it.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the structure is such that the ship body is moved up and down by combining the lifting and lowering movements of the ship body due to increases and decreases in the water level and the floating and sinking movements of the ship body using a weight. This is a power generation method that does not use any fuel, so there are no pollution or safety problems, and the cost is low.
