Description

Potential recovery unit

The present invention relates to a position energy recovery device, and more particularly to a mechanism for directly contacting an actuating member of a wheel device with a rubber wheel, whereby the actuating member directly drives the rubber wheel to generate power for the power generating assembly.

The operation of the elevator is to connect the car to the car, and then the motor outputs power, so that the cable retracts and drives the car to move up and down. However, the difference in potential energy generated during the elevator car lift process is usually not wasted and wasted.

The R&D personnel therefore proposed the Republic of China new patent M370594 "Elevator Energy Recovery Device", which uses a belt or gear to connect the driving wheels of the elevator, and a power generating device connects the belt or gear through the clutch, so that the energy can be collected during the descending process of the elevator. Poor electricity.

However, in the manner of connecting the power generating device of the previous case to the driving wheel of the elevator through the belt or the gear, in order to avoid the problem of assembly interference, it is generally required to be assembled together in the process of installing the elevator, which is an in-line assembly method. This method is inconvenient in assembly and maintenance.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a potential energy recovery device for generating electricity by being driven by an actuator of an axle device, including:

a shaft having a rubber wheel on the shaft, the rubber wheel contacting an actuating member of the axle device; a power generating assembly including a flywheel driven to rotate by the shaft, and a generator coupled to the flywheel.

Further, the flywheel has a one-way bearing for controlling the one-way rotation of the flywheel.

Further, the power generating device includes a base for carrying the shaft and the power generating assembly.

The invention further provides a potential energy recovery device, comprising:

An axle device comprising an actuating element; a shaft having a rubber wheel on the shaft, the rubber wheel contacting an actuating element of the axle device; a power generating assembly including a flywheel driven by the shaft, and a hair wheel The motor is connected to the flywheel.

Further, the axle device is an elevator.

Further, the actuating element is any one of a cable, a roller, a gear or a chain.

The effect of the invention is:

1. It is possible to recover the potential difference generated by the axle device during the lifting process and convert it into electric energy for reuse.

2. The rubber wheel on the shaft of the present invention directly contacts the actuating element of the axle assembly from which the rubber wheel is driven. This type of assembly is an external assembly method. After the axle device is installed, the shaft and the power generation assembly can be assembled without affecting the safety of the main body of the axle device, and the assembly and maintenance are convenient.

3. Since the potential difference generated by the operation of the axle device is partially converted into electric energy for reuse, the friction loss of the brake system of the axle device can be reduced.

In combination with the above technical features, the main effects of the position energy recovery device of the present invention will be clearly shown in the following embodiments.

Referring to the first figure, the embodiments of the present invention include:

a shaft (1) having a rubber wheel (11) on the shaft (1); a power generating assembly (2) including a flywheel (21) driven to rotate by the shaft (1), and a generator (22) ) Connect the flywheel (21). The flywheel (21) has a one-way bearing (221) for controlling the one-way rotation of the flywheel (21).

Referring to the second and third figures, the present invention further includes a base (3) for carrying the shaft (1) and the power generating assembly (2).

The present invention further includes an axle device (such as a cable mechanism such as an elevator or a cable car), the axle device including an actuating element, and the actuating member is a cable (4) in this embodiment [since the axle device is a conventional mechanism, Only the cable (4)] is depicted, but is not limited thereto, and the actuating element may also be any one of a roller, a gear or a chain, and the rubber wheel (11) of the aforementioned shaft (1) contacts the cable ( 4).

Referring to the fourth figure, when the axle device is in operation, the rubber wheel (11) is rotated by the movement of the cable (4), and the rubber wheel (11) drives the shaft (1) to rotate. The shaft (1) further drives the flywheel (21) to rotate, and when the flywheel (21) rotates, the generator (22) generates electricity through the action principle of the electromagnetic coil, and when the axle device is operated in this way The bit difference is converted to an electrical energy output. Among them, when the axle device is stopped, the flywheel (21) continues to rotate due to inertia, and the amount of power generation can be increased.

Referring to the fifth figure, in the present embodiment, the one-way bearing (221) on the flywheel (21) can control the one-way rotation of the flywheel (21) during the forward/reverse rotation of the axle device to continuously generate electricity.

It should be further explained that the rubber wheel (11) on the shaft (1) directly contacts the cable (4) of the axle device, and the manner is an externally assembled assembly, and the axle device can be installed. After that, the shaft (1) and the power generating assembly (2) of the present invention are assembled, so that it is convenient in assembly and maintenance. Moreover, since the potential difference generated by the operation of the axle device is partially converted into electric energy for reuse, the friction loss of the brake system of the axle device can be reduced.
