Description

Flow rate generator {FLOW GENERATION SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a flow rate power generation apparatus, and more particularly, having a frame and a buoyancy body in which a generator is installed in a place where flow rates such as currents, tidal currents, and water flows are generated, The rotational force of the rotating body rotating in accordance with the endless track rotation of the speed beam by having a plurality of flow beams arranged to rotate in the form of a caterpillar by the belt and a rotating body that rotates in accordance with the endless track rotation of the speed beam It relates to a flow rate generator configured to generate power using.

As is well known, the power generation method includes thermal power generation, nuclear power generation, hydroelectric generation, solar thermal generation, wind power generation, tidal power generation, and the like.

In the above, thermal power generation and nuclear power generation generate electricity by rotating a turbine in a generator with steam generated by heat, and hydropower generation generates electricity by rotating a turbine by a drop of water stored in a dam.

However, the above-mentioned thermal power generation uses fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum as an energy source, and the construction cost of the power plant is relatively inexpensive, but the reserves of fossil fuels are limited and gradually exhausted. There is a problem that pollutes the environment.

In addition, nuclear power uses enormous amounts of heat generated when nuclear fission, such as uranium, is used as an energy source. However, the power generation capacity is large, but the safety of nuclear fuel and the waste and pollutants generated during the power generation process. There is a problem such as environmental pollution by.

In addition, hydroelectric power is converted into rotational energy obtained by freezing the potential energy of water stored by dams, but the cost of power generation is low, but the area where the power plant is constructed is limited and a large area of land must be submerged. There are problems that cause social problems and damage to the natural ecosystem.

Therefore, research and efforts have been made for the development of practical devices for the interest and use of clean alternative energy to replace the above-mentioned thermal power generation, nuclear power generation and hydropower generation for a long time.

Typically, clean alternative energy includes solar energy, wind energy, current energy, tidal energy, geo-thermal energy, and biochemical energy. -chemical energy).

In Korea, as the area where more than 10 knots of high speed tide occurs on the south coast has recently emerged, the search for a large capacity generator using algae energy is being made.

As a conventional tidal current generator, for example, two rotary vanes and a generator mounting stand are installed at the center of the upper surface of the floating body, and the water injection pipes at the front end of the rotating blades are installed on both sides of the floating body. It is configured to be located in the car.

By this configuration, the tidal current guides the tidal current to the tidal water pipe installed on the sea surface to rotate the rotary vane and drive the generator through a power transmission device to generate power.

As such, the tidal current generators are installed to generate water using the kinetic energy of the seawater by installing a water generator in a place where the flow of seawater is high.

However, the conventional tidal current generators guide the flow of currents to the rotary vanes installed on the surface of the water, resulting in the loss of potential energy in the process, resulting in low power generation efficiency, and the use of only water flow on the surface of the seawater. There is a disadvantage of not getting it.

In addition, the conventional tidal current generators do not have any device for protecting the generator in the event of adverse conditions due to weather conditions, there is a disadvantage that does not guarantee the safety of the generator in bad weather conditions.

In order to solve such drawbacks, the current generator has been proposed as a registered utility model No. 323255.

The current generator includes a buoyancy line equipped with a generator, a fixing device for suspending a rope so that the buoyancy line stops stably at a specific position, and a power generation wing that is rotated by currents of the current, and at one end of the buoyancy line. The wing shaft of the power generating blade is condensed and the other end is pivotally coupled to the buoyancy line, the driving device for rotating the wing supporting arm, and the power transmission for transmitting the rotational force of the power generating blade to the generator. It consists of a device.

However, according to the current generation apparatus, as shown in the description of the installation structure and the installation position of the buoyancy line, since the direction of the buoyancy line does not change, there is a disadvantage that it cannot be used where the flow direction of the water current is changed by the high and low tide. There is a disadvantage that the power generation wing is submerged, and the resistance is increased as the force is generated in the water, and the power generation efficiency is lowered. Since it is difficult to replace the buoyancy line and it takes a long time, there is a disadvantage that the buoyancy line and equipment are damaged due to the failure to respond quickly in case of an emergency disaster.It is limited in generating effective resistance by widening the axle's rotation axis or extending the length of the wing. There is.

As another example of the tidal current generator, there is one using a helical turbine.

In the tidal current generator using the helical turbine, the helical turbine rotates vertically locked in the water, which means that ① a complex and expensive structure must be installed in the water, and ② the effective resistance surface that encounters the tidal flow is less efficient, , ③ It is difficult to find the cause of failure due to algae or other causes in the water. ④ It takes huge cost and time to repair the bearings and others. In addition, it must stop operation during repair. The lamps are unprotected from natural disasters such as storms. ⑥ The high cost of power generation due to the installation of expensive structures.

It should be interpreted as meaning and concept corresponding to the technical idea of the present invention based on the principle that it can.

In particular, the flow rate generating device according to the present invention is a device that can be installed in the place where the flow rate is generated by the current (river), as well as the current, algae, in the following description to more easily understand the technical idea of the present invention It will be described on the assumption that installing the flow rate generating apparatus according to the present invention on the sea surface.

As shown in Figures 1 to 10, the flow rate power generation apparatus according to the present invention, buoyancy body 10 is installed on the sea surface to generate the flow rate and floating; Two rotors 20 and 30 disposed on the buoyancy body 10 so as to be partially submerged in water and rotating under any rotational force; A plurality of inner and outer belts 51 and 50 which are supported by the two rotating bodies 20 and 30 and arranged in a left and right pair so as to be rotated in an infinite orbit form along the water and on the water surface, and are spaced up and down. As the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 have a predetermined interval between the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 and are integrally fastened to the inner and outer belts 51 and 50, respectively, the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 receive the flow velocity. A plurality of velocity beams 40 having an orbital rotation with 50); It has a configuration that includes a generator (60) for generating electricity by receiving the rotational force of the rotating body (20, 30) to rotate together in accordance with the caterpillar rotation of the velocity beam 40 through a known power transmission system. .

As such, the flow rate power generation device according to the present invention has an arrangement structure in which the two rotating bodies 20 and 30 are symmetrical to each other with the same size, which are arranged at a predetermined interval on the buoyancy body 10. have.

Here, the buoyancy body 10 has a substantially rectangular structure, as shown in Figure 3, is provided with an installation hole 11 for inserting the steel pipe pile (see 80, 9 and 10) in the four corners. Receiving the steel pipe pile 80 through the installation hole 11 to the bottom of the seabed to fix the installation position of the buoyancy body (10).

At this time, there is a constant clearance between the buoyancy body 10 and the steel pipe pile 80 installed through the installation hole 11 to float on the water surface at all times according to the water level at the position where the buoyancy body 10 is installed. .

In particular, the buoyancy body 10 is provided with a separate rudder 70 so that the buoyancy body 10 flows slightly in accordance with the flow direction of the sea water by the rudder 70.

The reason for the buoyancy body 10 to flow in accordance with the flow direction of the sea water as described above is that the flow velocity beam 40 that rotates in the form of an endless track, which will be described later on the same line as the flow direction of the sea water, that is, the velocity velocity beam 40 is the force of the flow velocity It is intended to receive the maximum rotational force from the flow rate as well as to minimize the rotational resistance of the flow beam 40 by positioning the front to receive the front.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the low tide or high tide of the seawater, the flow velocity gauge 40, which is the power source of the generator 60, has a rudder 70 to receive the force of the flow rate in front. A fold wing 71 is provided on the side of the rudder 70, and as the fold wing 71 is automatically unfolded by the flow of the flow rate at low tide or high tide, the rear portion is located at the center of the rudder 70 at the bottom of the sea. As the front portion protrudes over the sea and automatically performs the role of the rudder 70, the buoyancy body 10 installed with the clearance in the steel pipe pile 80 is turned in the direction of the flow velocity, so that the flow velocity beam 40 is fixed in the flow velocity direction. Will be kept in the center.

On the other hand, in order to more securely protect the flow rate generator according to the present invention during natural disasters such as typhoon or storm weather, it is preferable to avoid direct blows from typhoons.

To this end, it is preferable to lift and evacuate the power generation apparatus including the buoyancy body 10 from the sea surface. In the present invention, as a means for lifting the buoyancy body 10 from the sea surface in such an emergency, the four sides of the buoyancy body 10 are supported. The winch means 90 is connected with the steel pipe pile 80 which is being fixed.

Since it is a well-known means already well known in the field of lifting the structure of the winch means 90, its specific configuration and operation will be omitted.

On the other hand, the buoyancy body 10 is the two rotors for supporting the velocity beam 40 and the velocity beam 40 to rotate in the form of caterpillar along the water and the ground by the flow of a plurality of velocity beam 40 flows By holding the position of (20, 30), it is preferable to float on the surface so that the velocity beam 40 is rotated at a depth of 2 to 3 meters because the current is usually the largest at a depth of about 2 to 3 meters from the surface of the water.

Particularly, in the case of the flow rate power generation apparatus according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when detecting a low flow of low water such as seawater or a high flow of a high flow rate or flow rate, it is possible to more appropriately control the conditions required for power generation as well as By providing a sensing means having a sensor for detecting the strength of the flow rate from time to time, by installing a digital computer operating program based on the detection value of the sensor may automatically operate the operation required for power generation.

Hereinafter, the speed beams 40 and the rotating bodies 20 and 30 which are the most important components of the flow rate power generator according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

The flow rate power generation device according to the present invention can be modified in various embodiments, and among them, the two rotating bodies 20 and 30 installed at a predetermined interval on the buoyancy body 10 have various embodiments.

1 and 2 are shown the configuration of the rotating body 20 and the flow velocity 40 in conjunction with the rotating body 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

(First embodiment)

As shown in Figure 1 and 2, the flow rate power generation apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, while receiving in the sea water while rotating in the orbit in the form of a caterpillar and the water surface to receive the flow of the sea water to rotate The main components include a plurality of velocity beams 40 and a rotating body 20 which rotates together with the rotation of the velocity beams 40 while supporting the trajectory of the velocity beams 40. .

1 to 4, the rotating body 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a cylindrical drum body 22 disposed on the central shaft 25, and the drum body ( 22 has a structure in which the rotation guide body 21 of a disk shape larger than the diameter of the drum body 22 is provided at both left and right ends thereof.

In this case, a plurality of gear-shaped clearance gaps 23 are formed on the entire circumferential surface of the left and right rotation guide bodies 21 at equal intervals.

The gap mountain 23 of the left and right rotation guide body 21 is a buoyancy body 10 by the roller 46 of the first gap bar 42 fastened and assembled to the outer belt 50, which will be described later, in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The outer belt 50 serves to support the outer belt 50 to form the endless track between the two rotating bodies 20 disposed on the) and the first gap bar 42 in accordance with the rotational movement of the velocity beam 40 to be described later Corresponding rotations 23 are rotated while being pushed.

A portion of the rotation guide body 21 is submerged in water when installed on the buoyancy body (10).

On the drum body 22, a plurality of displacement adjusting bars 24 having a constant curvature are provided.

At this time, the curve rate and the length of the displacement control bar 24 is set constant in consideration of the difference in the circumferential length of the rotation guide body 21 and the circumferential length of the drum body 22.

The relationship between the circumferential length of the rotation guide body 21 and the circumferential length of the drum body 22 for setting the curvature and the length of the displacement control bar 24 is a process for explaining the operation effect of the present invention This will be described in more detail.

However, the displacement control bar 24 is the rotation guide body 21 to form a pair with the second gap bar 43 during the endless track by walking on the second gap bar 43 of the velocity beam 40 to be described later First of all, the first gap bar 42 caught by the gap 23 is to be pulled out so as to maintain the same rotational displacement.

The two rotating bodies 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention having the configuration as described above are arranged in a structure corresponding to each other at a predetermined interval on the buoyancy body 10.

In particular, the rotating body 20 is rotatably supported by the mounting table 12, etc. provided in the buoyancy body 10, as well as being installed in conjunction with a known generator 60 and the known power transmission system, As the rotor 20 rotates together in accordance with the endless orbital rotation of the velocity beam 40 to be described later, it generates a rotational force necessary for power generation and provides it to the generator 60.

On the other hand, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the velocity beam 40 according to the present invention is rotated by receiving the flow rate in accordance with the direction of the current in the sea water, the rotation shown in the conventional tidal power generating device to generate a rotational force It functions as a wing.

That is, the flow velocity beam 40 according to the present invention that performs the function as described above in the shape and structure of the configuration, one side is woven in a trapezoidal frame, the flow frame 41 and the flow frame 41, the top of the flow frame 41 It is made of a flexible material to have a special waterproof cloth 45 is tied to form a three-dimensional space that can receive the flow rate in the water flowing like seawater.

At this time, the flow frame 41 is a slope bar 44 for trapezoidally connecting the first and second gap bars 42 and 43 arranged in parallel up and down, and the first and second gap bars 42 and 43. The first and second gap bars 42 and 43 and the inclined bar 44 are made of a nonmetallic material such as carbon, and are sealed in a state in which the supporting gas is filled in a hollow state thereof. Have

The ends of the first and second gap bars 42 and 43 are provided with rollers 46 and 47, respectively.

The reason why the rollers 46 and 47 are arranged at both ends of the first and second gap bars 42 and 43 is when the gap mountain 23 of the rotating body 20 is in contact with the displacement adjusting bar 24. In order to reduce the friction, the specific contact relationship will be described later in the process of explaining the operating relationship of the present invention.

The special waterproof cloth 45 constituting the flow-rate beam 40 has a shape structure that is fastened to expand in three-dimensional shape when the flow rate is received through the fastening ring 48 on the left and right inclined bars 44. .

At this time, the fastening ring 48 is fitted to have a clearance to the inclined bar 44 is fastened so as to flow along the inclined bar 44, in particular, the special waterproof cloth 45 is fastened to the inclined bar 44 The fastening assembly is carried out by the 48, and the magnetic weight bar 52 is fitted so as to move in accordance with the inclination angle by the weight on the left and right inclined bars 44.

As such, while the special waterproof cloth 45 is fastened on the left and right inclined bars 44 via the fastening ring 48, the weight bar 52 is disposed between the fastening ring 48 and the inclined bar 44. The reason for installing is because the special waterproof cloth 45 is adopted to be folded and folded in a three-dimensional shape according to the situation.

For example, when the special waterproof cloth 45 enters the seawater and receives a flow rate, the special waterproof cloth 45 must be unfolded, and when it comes out of the surface, it is preferable to be folded to minimize external resistance such as wind. Because.

In addition, the shape of the flow frame 41 in which the special waterproof cloth 45 is installed has a trapezoidal shape so that the fastening ring 46 moves along the inclined bar 44 in the process of expanding and folding the special waterproof cloth 45. When considering the play according to the angle of inclination is to have a play between the fastening ring 48 and the inclined bar 44, the special waterproof cloth 45 is expanded and folded according to the position displacement of the flow frame 41 The magnetic weight bar 52 provided on the inclined bar 44 is enabled by moving in the magnetic weight direction (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

As such, the magnetic weight bar 52 allows the flow velocity beam 40 to be folded on the water surface to minimize the resistance of the wind speed, and when it is obtained underwater, the natural weight of the magnetic weight bar 52 and the structure of the magnetic weight bar 52. Due to the special waterproof cloth (45) spreading like a wing can secure a lot of flow rate in a short and fast time and serves to maintain the maximum width and width.

In addition, the special waterproof cloth 45 is preferably formed with a plurality of hands 49 on the surface facing the direction of flowing water.

The hand 49 is a material having elasticity such as rubber is provided on the special waterproof cloth 45 so that the inlet is wide and the outlet is installed in a small cone-shaped structure, the role of the hand 49 is a special waterproof cloth ( 45) minimizes the vortex or wake phenomenon formed along the side of the flow speed (40) when the flow of the water flows along the flow of the water flow to prevent the loss of flow rate energy while smoothly proceeding the flow of the speed beam 40 To do this.

That is, at the moment of connecting the generator 60 to the rotating body 20, a load is generated in the rotating body 30, and the flow of the speed beam 40 is slowed, while the flow velocity is separated from the speed beam 40 while the vortex flows. The phenomenon is generated and the wake following the vortex may cause the phenomenon that the rotor 20 is pulled instantaneously. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the conical manual 49 is greatly enlarged by the flow velocity, and the flow rate energy passed through It is absorbed into the flow velocity 40 to prevent the loss of flow velocity energy.

A plurality of velocity beams 40 having the configuration as described above are assembled side by side at a predetermined interval on the inner, outer belts (51, 50) to form an endless track.

That is, as shown in the figure, both ends of the first gap bar 42 is inserted and fixed on the plurality of outer belts 50 arranged in parallel to be spaced at a predetermined left and right intervals, the second gap bar 43 Opposite ends of the gaps are fixed by being fitted on the plurality of inner belts 51 arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other.

Accordingly, the plurality of outer belts 50 and the plurality of inner belts 51 have a structure that is parallel in the vertical, vertical, left and right directions to guide the plurality of flow-speed beams 40 to move in a caterpillar form.

At this time, the width and size of the special waterproof cloth 45, including the number of installation of the velocity beam 40, the strength of the tidal current (intensity of the flow velocity), the bearing capacity and the buoyancy body of the inner and outer belts (51, 50) It is desirable to design a suitable rotational force in consideration of various correlations such as the magnitude of buoyancy in (10).

On the other hand, when the velocity beam 40 is moved along a straight line of the inner and outer belts (51, 50) in the process of rotating the trackless way and the first gap bar 42 of the velocity beam 40 Since the second gap bar 43 is fixed on the inner and outer belts 51 and 50, the torsion of the velocity beam 40 does not occur only when the second gap bars 43 have the same speed.

Thus, in the present invention, when the flow velocity beam 40 rotates in the caterpillar form as described above, the displacement control on the drum body 22 as described above in order to be able to rotate smoothly without twisting the velocity beam 40 The rotary body 20 having the bar 24 is implemented.

That is, in the flow rate generating device according to the present invention, a plurality of inner and outer belts 51 and 50 having a predetermined angle up and down while forming a pair of left and right are supported by the rotating body 20 to form an infinite track. As described above on the outer belts 51 and 50, the plurality of flow beams 40 are integrally fastened and assembled at regular intervals so as to be infinitely orbitally rotated, and according to the rotation of the flow speed beams 40 receiving the flow velocity. It is to ensure the rotational force required for power generation.

On the other hand, although not shown in detail in the drawing, when the special waterproof cloth 45 of the velocity beam 40 is exposed to the surface (for example, the sea) in the process of making an orbital rotation in response to the flow rate, it is warm to the surface Adhesive crustaceans or seaweeds may be bonded to each other. In order to prevent this, a shock is generated by applying a voltage shock to the sea surface to generate a voltage shock so that the adhesive crustaceans or seaweeds do not adhere to the velocity beam 40. It is preferable to provide a well-known voltage shock generating means in the power generation apparatus.

The operation and effect of the flow rate power generator according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be briefly described.

First, the two rotating bodies 20 are installed at regular intervals through the mounting table 12 of the buoyancy body 10. At this time, a portion of the rotating body 20 has a structure submerged in seawater.

Of course, as shown in Figure 3 it is natural that the rotating body 20 is connected to a known generator 60 through a known power transmission method.

In this state, the plurality of flow velocity beams 40 are arranged at regular intervals to form an endless track, while the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 which form a pair of left and right and up and down pairs are respectively sandwiched between two rotating bodies. Place to achieve.

That is, the first gap bar 42 of the flow velocity beam 40 is respectively seated on the gap mountain 23 of the rotation guide body 21 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, together with the first gap bar 42. The second gap bar 43, which forms the flow frame 41, is disposed to interlock with each other by walking on the displacement control bar 24, such that the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 are fixed on the buoyancy body 10. It is supported between two rotating bodies 20 spaced apart from each other in tension to form a caterpillar that rotates on the water surface and in the sea.

When the configuration and assembly of the flow rate power generation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention is completed, the rotational force required for power generation is provided from algae (sea water). Will receive.

That is, in the seawater, as the special waterproof cloth 45 of each of the velocity beams 40 fastened and assembled to the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 is unfolded in a three-dimensional shape by the action of the magnetic weight bar 52, the velocity beams At 40, the flow rate of the seawater is received.

Accordingly, the velocity beam 40 submerged in the water moves along the endless track formed by the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 in the direction of seawater flow (in the seawater, the velocity beam moves in a straight orbit). On the track, the first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43, which form one flow frame 41 assembled on the inner and outer belts 51 and 50, respectively, have the same speed and have the same movement displacement. Will have

In addition, the plurality of moving velocity beams 40 are sequentially raised up to the water while meeting the rotating body 20 on the endless track, and at this time, the radius of rotation and the inside of the endless track formed by the outer belt 50 The difference occurs in the radius of rotation of the caterpillar formed by the belt 51.

The outer belt 50 is disposed in contact with the gap mountain 23 of the rotation guide body 21 so that the first gap bar 42 pushes the gap mountain 23, and the inner belt 51 is a drum body. This is a natural result coming from the difference in diameter between the rotation guide body 21 and the drum body 22 are arranged at intervals up and down to contact the outer peripheral surface of (22).

When the difference in the radius of rotation on the curved track of the outer belt 50 and the inner belt 51 is left as it is, one flow velocity frame 41 is assembled and fixed to the outer belt 50 and the inner belt 51, respectively. Differences occur in the movement trajectories on the curved trajectory of the first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43 to be formed, and the torsion occurs in the flow frame 41 while moving away from each other.

That is, when the first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43 forming one flow frame 41 move the same distance at the same speed, the endless track formed by the outer belt 50 is formed. The distance that the first gap bar 42 moving along and the second gap bar 43 moving along the endless track formed by the inner belt 51 move on the curve orbit (the moving distance on the circular curve is radius × π Rotation angles are different from each other.

Therefore, the first gap bar is adapted to the difference between the curved track formed by the outer belt 50 (ie, the circumferential length of the rotation guide body) and the curved track formed by the inner belt 51 (ie, the circumferential length of the drum body). If the rotational displacement of the 42 and the second gap bar 43 is not adjusted, a torsion occurs in the flow frame 41, and eventually, the flow velocity 40 cannot be performed.

Therefore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the displacement control on the drum body 22 to adjust the difference in the rotational displacement between the first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43 on the curved track as described above. By placing the bar 24 so that the second gap bar 43 is moved and pulled along the curved surface of the displacement adjusting bar 24, the straight track passes through the curved track formed by the inner and outer belts 51 and 50. The first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43, which form one flow frame 41, are folded in the same manner when the air gap is folded.

Therefore, on the curved track, the inner belt 51 has a structure that accumulates the moving length while being folded to some extent.

In addition, when the plurality of velocity beams 40 and the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 rotate in a rotational manner as described above, they form an endless track formed along seawater and above the water surface, and the inner and outer belts ( The rotating body 20 supporting the 51 and 50 also rotates to generate rotational force, and the rotational force is transmitted to the generator 60 as it is to generate power.

Meanwhile, in the process of moving the velocity beam 40 in the sea and above the surface of the water, the special waterproof cloth 45 of the velocity beam 40 is unfolded in a three-dimensional shape to receive the maximum velocity. The special waterproof cloth 45 is to be folded to minimize the resistance due to wind, etc., which is due to the role of the magnetic weight bar 52 provided in the flow frame 41 and its operating function as described above.

Second Embodiment

Meanwhile, FIGS. 7 to 10 show a flow rate power generator according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the flow rate power generator according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a difference in the configuration of the rotating body and the arrangement structure thereof compared with the flow rate power generator according to the first embodiment.

That is, the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention are different from the rotating body 30 which rotates while supporting the velocity beam 40 and the inner and outer belts 51 and 50, but the other components are the same. Do.

Therefore, in the following description of the second embodiment of the present invention, only the rotor 30 showing the difference in configuration will be described in detail, and the rest of the configuration will be described with reference to the contents described in the first embodiment. Let's do it.

As shown in FIG. 7, the rotating body 30 constituting the flow rate power generator according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a cylindrical shape in which a gear mount 35 is formed on both sides of the central shaft 39. A ring gear type having a drum gear 32 and an inner gear mountain 34 and an outer gear mountain 33 disposed on both left and right ends of the drum gear 32 so as to be geared through the transmission gear 36. It has a structure consisting of a rotary gear (31).

Here, a bearing (not shown) is disposed on the shaft 39, the drum gear 32, and the contact surface of the drum gear 32 and the rotary gear 31 so that smooth rotation occurs without mutual interference.

At this time, the outer gear mountain 33 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotary gear 21 is the first gap bar 41 of the flow velocity beam 40 shown in the first embodiment is seated, the flow velocity beam 40 is rotated When moving, the first gap bar 42 pushes the outer gear mountain 33 so that the rotary gear 31 and the velocity beam 40 can rotate together.

In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the drum gear 32 is provided with a high information 38 is projected by the second gap bar 43 of the flow velocity beam 40 is seated in the second gap bar when the flow velocity beam 40 moves in rotation. The 43 43 pushes the high information 38 so that the drum gear 32 and the velocity beam 40 can rotate together.

In particular, the rotary gear 31 and the drum gear 32 are configured to rotate together in accordance with the rotation of the flow velocity beam 40 relative to the central shaft 39, respectively, as shown in FIG. The outer side of the 31 is enclosed by the housing 31a, and the inner side thereof is limited to the left and right movement by the stopper 37 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the drum gear 32.

Here, as described above, the first gap bar 42 is seated on the outer gear mountain 33 of the rotary gear 31, and the second gap bar 43 is seated on the high information 38 of the drum gear 32. As the rotating gear 31 and the drum gear 32 rotate together with the rotation of the velocity beam 40, the first gap bar 42 and the second gap bar 43 are also described as described in the first embodiment. A difference occurs in the rotational displacement of.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, in the present invention, the rotary gear 31 is provided with an inner gear mountain 34 separately from the outer gear mountain 33 so that the transmission gear 36 meshes with the inner gear mountain 34. In addition, the transmission gear 36 is engaged with the gear mountain 35 of the drum gear 32 again so that the drum gear 32 rotates according to a predetermined gear ratio with the transmission gear 36 in accordance with the rotation of the rotary gear 31. It is.

As such, by shifting the transmission gear 36 between the rotary gear 31 and the drum gear 32, as shown in the first embodiment, the first gap bar 42 is in contact with the rotary gear 31. The second gap bar 43 in contact with the drum gear 32 is moved away from each other in accordance with the rotational displacement in the curved orbit on the endless track of the inner and outer belts 51 and 50, causing torsion in the velocity beam 40. It is possible to control this.

That is, since the rotation radius of the rotary gear 31 is larger than the rotation radius of the drum gear 32, the first gap bar 42 in contact with the rotary gear 31 when the velocity beam 40 rotates in an infinite orbit. ), The second gap bar 43 is in contact with the drum gear 32, and the difference occurs in the mutual position according to the rotational displacement on the curved track, and thus the drum gear 32 through the transmission gear 36 as described above. By changing the rotational speed of to match the rotational displacement to maintain a constant positional relationship.

This plays the same role as adjusting the rotational displacement of the second gap bar 43 with the displacement adjusting bar 24 in the first embodiment.

The process of power generation in the flow rate power generator according to the second embodiment of the present invention using the rotating body 30 having the above configuration is the same as the power generation process described in the first embodiment. The detailed power generation process in which power is generated by the rotation of the rotating body 30 in accordance with the rotation of the velocity beam 40 rotating in the endless track will be omitted.

However, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotary gear 31, the transmission gear 36, and the drum gear 32 are sequentially geared, and two rotors 30 are mounted on the buoyancy body 10. It is necessary to adjust the tension of the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 while the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 are supported between the rotating bodies 30 in a state where they are arranged at regular intervals to make the endless orbital rotation. As it occurs, it is desirable to have a tension control means 72 of the cylinder type that can finely adjust the tension.

Of course, although not shown, it is preferable that the rotating body 20 of the first embodiment is also provided with a tension adjusting means 72 of a cylinder type so that the tension of the inner and outer belts 51 and 50 can be adjusted.

On the other hand, reference numeral 61 shown in FIG. 8 and not described shows a power transmission gear that is engaged with the rotary gear 31 to transmit the rotational force to the generator.
