The tank 1 is divided into a plurality of chambers 5 in which the internal space is divided by the partition walls 3 and arranged in a line. Each chamber 5 is supplied with low pressure air, which is realized by air supply means for supplying air generated by the input power to the inner bottom of each chamber 5.

More specifically, the air supply means is a compressor 7 as an input power for generating an air amount at a pressure slightly higher than the water depth pressure, and an air tank in which the air is stored and installed above the level of the liquid surface of the chamber 5 ( 9). The air supply pipe 11 which is an air passage is connected between the compressor 7, the air tank 9, and each chamber 5, and the air supply pipe 11 connected to each chamber 5 prevents backflow of air. One-way valve 13 is installed for this purpose.

Air supplied to the chamber 5 through the air supply pipe 11 is generated as air bubbles in the liquid. Bubbles are collected into the cap-shaped buoyancy generator 15 which is installed in the chamber 5 so as to be liftable, so that buoyancy is generated. The buoyancy generator 15 is raised to receive buoyancy, and is installed to descend by its own weight when the buoyancy disappears. To this end, the buoyancy generator 15 is installed such that a predetermined spaced space is maintained between the walls of the chamber 5.

The buoyancy generator 15 is provided with an exhaust vent 17, which extends outwardly through the top of the chamber 5, the end of which is formed in a 'U' shape and is directed toward the chamber 5 again. do.

The buoyancy generator 15 thus configured is controlled by the control means. That is, the buoyancy generator 15 is buoyant is eliminated and lowered down so that the exhaust vent 17 is opened at the maximum ascending, and is raised by buoyancy by closing the exhaust van 17 at the minimum descending.

Here, the control means is contacted when the buoyancy generator 15 reaches the top dead center to contact the top limit switch 19 to generate an electrical signal, the buoyancy generator 15 is in contact with the upper and lower points And a bottom limit switch 21 for generating an electrical signal. The signals of the top limit switch 19 and the bottom limit switch 21 are transmitted to the control unit 23. At this time, the control unit 23 receives the signal and the exhaust band 17 when the buoyancy generator 15 reaches the top dead center. The valve means, which is installed at the bottom of the valve, is opened to remove the bubbles trapped inside the buoyancy generator 15, and on the contrary, when the buoyancy generator 15 reaches the bottom dead center, the valve means is closed and bubbles are collected again. To be.

The valve means includes a valve body 25 for opening and closing the exhaust vent 17, a cylinder 27 for causing the valve body 25 to slide, and an air pipe for supplying air to one of the cylinders 27. And a solenoid valve 31 for regulating the air passing through the air pipe 29. The valve body 25 slides inside the cylinder 27 and cooperates with the piston 33 on which the spring 35 is supported. The air pipe 29 is connected to the air tank 9.

According to this configuration, the control unit 23 controls the current applied to the solenoid valve 31, so that the opening and closing operation of the valve body 25 is made.

In addition, the control unit 23 may control the lifting operation of the buoyancy generator 15 in each chamber 5 by adjusting the opening and closing timing of the valve body 25. That is, the buoyancy generator 15 is sequentially driven in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4 according to the order of the chambers 5 arranged in a line, as well shown in FIG.

In addition, the controller 23 may control the supply of air by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 37 installed in the air supply pipe 11.

On the other hand, the lifting operation of the buoyancy generator 15 is converted into rotational force by the output means of the present embodiment, and is output in the form of output power or power generation through the shaft 39.

The output means includes a shaft 39 disposed in an arrangement direction of the chamber 5, a pinion 41 installed on the shaft 39 to transmit rotational force only in one direction, and the pinion 41 is gear-coupled. And a rack 43 formed at the side of the exhaust vent 17 and a generator 45 as an output device connected to one end of the shaft 39 through a power transmission means. Here, in the power transmission means provided between the shaft 39 and the generator 45, the sprocket 47 provided at the end of the shaft 39 is connected to the sprocket 51 on the generator 45 side via the chain 49. The sprocket 51 is connected to the generator 45 through the speed increaser 53.

On the other hand, the structure of the pinion 41 and the shaft 39 to transmit the rotational force in one direction is well shown in FIG. The pinion 41 causes the rotational force to be generated during the upward movement of the rack 43. To this end, the pinion 41 is rotatable and axially coupled to the bush 55a of the hub 55 fixed to the shaft 39 using the bolt 57. A ratchet wheel 59 is formed at one side of the pinion 41 in contact with the hub 55, and a lock ratchet 61 is formed at the hub 55 opposite thereto. On the opposite side of the pinion 41 opposite to the hub 55, a bag hub 63 fixed to the shaft 39 by bolts 65 is installed, and a ring between the bag hub 63 and the pinion 41 is provided. The bearing 67 and the spring 69 are installed so that the pinion 41 is pushed toward the lock ratchet 61 of the hub 55.

Accordingly, the pinion 41 is rotated in the clockwise direction during the upward movement of the rack 43, and the shaft 39 is engaged by the ratchet wheel 59 geared with the lock ratchet 61 of the hub 55. To be driven to rotate. On the contrary, during the lowering operation of the rack 43, the pinion 41 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, at which time the ratchet wheel 59 is driven by the hub ( As it is idling beyond the lock latch 61 of 55, the connection with the shaft 39 is destroyed and no rotational force is generated.

Based on the configuration described above, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

The low pressure air generated by the compressor 7 is supplied to the respective chambers 5 via the air tank 9, and is generated as bubbles in the liquid. The bubble is collected into the buoyancy generator 15 so that buoyancy is generated. First, buoyancy is generated from the chamber 5 located on the left side of FIG. 1 to the right.

For this reason, the control unit 23 controls the valve means installed in the exhaust vent 17 of the buoyancy generator 15, and adjusts the opening and closing timing of the exhaust van 17, thereby causing buoyancy to be generated and extinguished. Is made by.

The linear motion of the buoyancy generator 15, ie the rising force, is converted to rotational motion through the pinion 41 coupled with the rack 43 of the exhaust vant 17 and transmitted to the shaft 39. This power increasing action is achieved continuously and repeatedly in accordance with the order and number of chambers 5, and finally outputs to the generator 45 through output means.

On the other hand, Figure 4 shows another example of the power transmission means, the shaft 39 is driven to rotate by rotating the pinion 410 in the clockwise direction when the barb gear 171 coupled to one side of the exhaust vent 170 is raised. To be. On the contrary, the barb gear 171 is laid down when the vane vant 170 descends, rides over the gear of the pinion 410, and blocks transmission of power to the pinion 410.

In addition, FIG. 5 has shown the other example of the tank which concerns on a present Example. Here, a plurality of tanks (1, 100) of the present embodiment are installed in parallel, the power output through the output means is connected to one through the sprockets 47, 470 and the chain 471, the large and small gears 473, It is configured to increase speed using the gear ratio of 475 and then output to the generator 45.

Air is supplied to the chamber 103 through the pipe 11 of the air supply means similarly to the first embodiment, and the buoyancy generator 105 is provided to be liftable by the buoyancy generated from the air.

The lifting operation of the buoyancy generator 105 is realized by opening and closing the exhaust van 107 by the control means, and thus buoyancy is generated and dissipated.

Here, the linear motion generated when the buoyancy generator 105 is raised is transmitted to the pinion 109, and is converted into rotational drive through the drive gear 111 and the ring gear 113, and is output to the generator not shown. .
