Description

Apparatus for producing electric power using buoyancy object}

The present invention strongly transfers the sequential lifting motion of the buoyancy body for the piston instead of the large buoyancy installed in each of the plurality of cylindrical docks installed at the place where the constant water flow is guaranteed, such as rivers, rivers, dams, so that the rotational force of the crankshaft is generated. The present invention relates to a rotating power generator that can be usefully used for the operation of the lamp.

For example, a typical hydroelectric power plant, regardless of size, can respond to submerged local civil complaints and procurement of huge dam construction costs, maintain safety in the air, maintain after construction, secure professional manpower for power plant operation, and after construction. There are not one or two things to consider, such as environmental problems for the surrounding area, maintenance of the required level for power generation, and efficiency of power generation.

In this regard, it is necessary to consider the economics of construction and power generation in the future, and to search for rotational power generating devices used for power generation in a way that can be operated in a direction that can be operated with minimum manpower, to solve the unstable power generation during the dry season, to minimize the environmental damage.

An object of the present invention is to provide a powerful rotational power generating apparatus using a buoyancy body that can meet the above expectations.

The above object can be achieved by a rotating power generator using a buoyancy body of a structure similar to a multi-stroke internal combustion engine. In other words, the upper dock and the lower dock replace the cylinder for the internal combustion engine in a river or the like where the flow of water is guaranteed, and each dock has a buoyancy body corresponding to the piston of the internal combustion engine, and the first lever is mounted on each crank rod of the crankshaft. When the replenishment water of the first upper dock is filled by the lever to which the principle is applied, the first lower dock and the second upper dock are drained at the same time, and when the first upper dock is drained, 2 Filling up the supplementary water of the upper dock and draining of the second lower dock successively transfers the lifting motion of the buoyant body to the crankshaft by using the lever applied to the principle of the first lever in each dock. It is achieved with a rotational power generating device that allows the rotational power used for the operation of the back.

In order to help the understanding of the rotational power generating device using the buoyancy of the buoyancy body of the present invention will be described in detail according to the accompanying drawings prepared based on the preferred embodiment.

1 and 2, an example of a four-stroke engine-type rotary power generator using a buoyancy body, the principle of multi-stroke of four strokes or more can be used.

The rotary power generator using buoyancy has the same number as the first and second upper docks 1a and c, the first and second lower docks 1b and d, the single crankshaft 2, and the upper and lower docks 1a to d. The buoyancy bodies 3a to d and the levers 4a to d belonging to the respective buoyancy bodies 3a to d are basically used.

These upper and lower docks 1a to d correspond to the cylinders of the internal combustion engine, and are equal to the crank rod of the crankshaft 2, and include the first and second upper docks 1a and c and the first and second lower docks 1b and d) is installed with a step up and down, but the first upper dock (1a) and the first lower dock (1b) is composed of the first article, the second upper dock (1c) and the second lower dock (1d) as a second set do.

Each of the upper docks 1a and c is provided with supplemental water inlet pipes 6a and b each provided with a water supply switch 5a and b. In addition, each of the water pipes 9a leading from the first upper dock 1a to the first lower dock 1b and the water pipes 9b leading from the second upper dock 1c to the second lower dock 1d are respectively passed. The switch 10a, b is provided, and the drain pipes 8a, b provided with the drain switch 7a, b are installed in the 1, 2 lower docks 1b, d.

The water pipes 9a and b are disposed at the lowest positions in the upper docks 1a and c so that the water in the upper docks 1a and c of the group can be rotated to the lower docks 1b and d belonging thereto. The used water is smoothly carried over, and the drain pipes (8a, b) is also located at the lowest in the lower dock (1b, d) so that the water used for generating the rotational power is also smoothly drained.

The crankshaft (2) has the same number of crank rods as the upper and lower docks (1a to d) of each set, and is parallel to the arrangement direction above the upper dock (1a, c) and between the lower dock (1b, d), respectively. Hypothesis If the crankshaft (2) is longer than necessary, there are many unreasonable points such as increase in material cost, processing cost, facility cost, maintenance cost, and occupied space. In this regard, the shorter the crankshaft 2 is, the better. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper and lower docks 1a and b (1c and d) of each tank are arranged in a lattice shape to minimize the occupancy length of the upper and lower docks 1a to d.

The buoyancy bodies 3a to d are inserted into the upper and lower docks 1a and b (1c and d) of the respective tanks and are used as a piston to rotate the crankshaft 2 in one direction while rapidly raising and lowering by gravity and buoyancy. These buoyancy bodies 3a to d are made of metal having corrosion resistance and sufficient strength because they have to consider durability. Naturally, the buoyancy bodies 3a to d are individually connected to the crank rods of the crankshaft 2 by the levers 4a to d, respectively. One peculiarity is that it is natural to connect the piston rods in a diagonal direction as the upper and lower docks 1a to d are arranged in a lattice shape and a short length crankshaft 2 is applied.

The levers 4a to d dynamically connect each of the buoyancy bodies 1a to d and the crank rods of the crankshaft 2 to ensure the floating force of each of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d to the crankshaft 2. It applies the principle of the 1st lever to transmit and rotate strongly, and is attached to the buoyancy bodies 3a-d and the same number of lever shafts 11a-d. The first and second lever shafts 11a and b are arranged on the first tank side and the third and fourth lever shafts 11c and d are arranged on the second tank side. In addition, all the lever shafts 11a to d are placed above the upper surface of the upper and lower docks 1a to d so that the buoyancy bodies 3a to d reach the bottom dead center, that is, the outer ends of the levers 4a to d, i.e. The end portions of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d do not touch the upper ends of the upper and lower docks 1a to d so as not to interfere with the lever movement.

In addition, the lever 4a for the first upper dock 1a side buoyancy body 3a is provided on the first lever shaft 11a, and the second lower lever 1b is for the buoyancy body 3b on the first lower dock 1b side. The lever 4b, the lever 4c for the buoyancy body 3c on the second upper dock 1c side to the third lever shaft 11c, and the second lower dock 1d to the fourth lever shaft 11d. The levers 4d for the side buoyancy bodies 3d are respectively provided to enable lever movement. Moreover, the 1st rod of the 1st buoyancy body 3a and the crankshaft 2 is used by the 1st lever 4a, and the 1st rod of the 2nd buoyancy body 3b and the crankshaft 2 is used by the 2nd lever 4b. 2 rods, the third rod 3c and the third rod of the crankshaft 2 with the third lever 4c, and the fourth buoyancy body 3d and the crankshaft 2 with the fourth lever 4d. Pins of the fourth rod are respectively connected. One end of the crankshaft 2 can be connected with a generator (not shown), a water pump or a speed increase mechanism for increasing power to and transmitting power thereto.

In Fig. 3, the upper and lower parts of the crankshaft 2 are provided with sensors S1 to 4 for opening and closing control of the water supply switch 5a and b, the water supply switch 10a and b, and the drain switch 7a and b. When the crank rod belonging to the buoyancy body (3ad) has reached the top dead center, and is organically connected to the water supply switch (5a, b) and the water switch (10a, b) and the drain switch (7a, b). The electrical signal is transmitted to the water supply switch 5a and b, the water supply switch 10a and b, and the drain switch 7a and b, and the control panel on the ground so that the inflow pipes 6a and b and the drain pipes 8a and b and the water flow By instructing to selectively open and close the pipe (9a, b), it is connected to the control panel of the ground (not shown) by a cable.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4D, the operation principle in which the crankshaft 2 is continuously rotated by the sequential lifting action of the buoyancy bodies 1a to d for each group will be described.

When the first buoyancy body 3a rises to full water level (FIG. 4A):

The first buoyancy body 3a touches the sensor S1 while reaching the top dead center. The sensor S1 closes the inlet pipe 6a and the drain pipe 8a to the water supply switch 5a of the first upper dock 1a and the drain switch 7a of the first lower dock 1b to inflow the replenishment water. The excess drainage is neutralized, and at the same time, the water passage 9a is opened to open the water passage 9a so that the water of the first upper dock 1a is poured into the empty first lower dock 1b. As the water in the first upper dock 1a is carried over to the first lower dock 1b, the first buoyancy body 3a enters the downward stroke, and the second buoyancy body 3b faces the top dead center at the bottom dead center. Begins to ascend. At this time, the two sets of upper dock (1c) is blocked inflow of the replenishment water and the water filled therein is being carried over to the second lower dock (1d) by opening the water pipe (9b), the drain pipe (8b) is blocked have. And the third buoyancy body (3c) is in the middle of the downstroke and the fourth buoyancy body (3d) is about the middle of the upstroke.

When the fourth buoyancy body 3d rises to full water level (FIG. 4B):

When the first buoyancy body 3a leaves the top dead center and comes to the middle of the descending stroke, the second lower dock 1d is full. At this time, the fourth buoyancy body 3d touches the fourth sensor S4. Then, the sensor S4 opens the two sets of water switch 5b and the drain switch 7b to replenish the water of the second upper dock 1c, and drains the water of the second lower dock 1d at the same time. In addition, the water flow switch 10b blocks the water pipe 9b so that the water in the second upper dock 1c is no longer carried over to the second lower dock 1d. The water of the first upper dock 1a is being carried forward to the first lower dock 1b, whereby the first buoyancy body 3a descends toward the bottom dead center at a neutral position and the first buoyancy body ( 3b) rises toward the top dead center at the neutral position of the upstroke.

When the second buoyancy body 3b is at full water level (FIG. 4C):

When the fourth buoyancy body 3d leaves the top dead center and comes to the neutral position of the downstroke, the first lower dock 1b rises to the full water level and touches the second sensor S2. The sensor S2 opens the water supply pipe 6a and the drain pipe 8a to the water supply switch 5a and the drain switch 7a, so that the replenishment water flows in the first upper dock 1a and the first lower dock 1b. Simultaneously with drainage, the water flow switch 10a blocks the water pipe 9a to prevent the water of the first upper dock 1a from flowing into the first lower dock 1b. At this time, the supplemental water inflow of the second upper dock 1c and the drainage of the second lower dock 1d are in full swing.

When the second upper dock 1c rises to full water level (FIG. 4D):

When the second buoyancy body 3b leaves the top dead center and reaches the middle of the descent stroke, the second upper dock 1c rises to the full water level this time. At this time, the third buoyancy body 3c touches the third sensor S3. At this time, the sensor S3 opens the water pipe 9b with the water flow switch 10b so that water from the second upper dock 1c is carried over to the second lower dock 1d, and at the same time, the water pipe with the drain switch 7b. Stop drainage by blocking (8b). However, the replenishment water inlet of the first upper dock 1a and the first lower dock 1b are still draining.

Then, when the third buoyancy body 3c leaves the top dead center and comes to the neutral position, as shown in FIG. 4a, the first buoyancy body 3a rises to the full water level. In this way, the second lower dock 1d is completely drained until the drainage is completely completed, and this stroke is repeated so that the crankshaft 2 is lowered with the sequential rise of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d every time. It rotates once, and the rotation of the crankshaft (2) is increased by the speed increaser to be used for operation of a generator or a water pump.

In this process, if the filling of the drainage and supplemental water is not made correctly at the appropriate time, there is a fear that the power loss of the crankshaft (2) is reduced. Therefore, the drainage of each lower dock 1b, d and the filling of the supplemental water of the upper docks 1a, c are carried out so that the buoyancy bodies 1b, d and 1a, c move from the optimum position to the next stroke. 4) The exact positioning of (S1,3) is absolute.

In addition, in order to continuously rotate the crankshaft 2 to obtain high-quality power, the position of the water pipes 9a and b and the drain pipes 8a and b also plays an important role. This is because the buoyancy bodies 3a to d should always be floating on the water surface at the time of drainage as well as the carryover of the water, so as not to hinder the rotational movement of the crankshaft 2 as soon as the water is filled. Excessive amount of drainage during drainage tends to stop the rotational movement of the crankshaft 2 momentarily, which impedes the re-uplift of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d. Therefore, continuous rotation of the crankshaft 2 is difficult to expect.

Here is an example. When the lever shafts 11a to d, which are the supporting points of the levers 4a to d, are positioned in the middle, the buoyancy force of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d is transferred to the crank shaft 2 as it is, and the utility is low. However, the closer the lever shafts 11a to d, which are the supporting points, to the crank shaft 2, the stronger the forces of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d that turn the crank shaft 2 are. For example, when the buoyancy of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d is assumed to be 1t, and the lever shafts 11a to d are positioned at 1 / 10th of the entire length of the levers 4a to d, a strong force of about 15 tons is applied to the crankshaft ( As it is a 2) buoyancy force, a force of about 150 tons is obtained with a buoyancy of 10 tons. That small buoyancy can produce more than ten times more power.

This is forcibly pulled down by the levers 4a to d when the crank rods associated with each of the buoyancy bodies 3a to d are transferred to the lower stroke, and the buoyancy bodies 3a to d. This is because the crank rod associated with is strong in rotating the crankshaft 2 by the complementary action of forcibly being pushed up by these levers 4a to d from the bottom dead center to the ascending stroke.

The above description is an example of a four-stroke agency, but may be a multi-agency organization. For a four-stroke engine, the crank angle would be 90 degrees, for a six-stroke engine the crank angle would be 60 degrees, and for an eight-stroke engine the crank angle would be 45 degrees.

As described above, the present invention replaces the cylinder for the internal combustion engine with a dock in a river, etc., where the flow of water is guaranteed, and puts a buoyancy body for the piston of the internal combustion engine, and connects each buoyancy body to the crankshaft to procure supplemental water in the upper dock of the group. Dam type hydroelectric generators, pumping equipment, etc. by lifting all the buoyant bodies strongly to the crankshaft through the first lever lever lever in order to gain power by rotating the crankshaft by lifting the buoyancy body along the drainage of the dock. It can contribute to improving operation reliability and increasing efficiency.
