Description

Conjunto de dispositivos para la generación de energía eléctrica a partir de esfuerzo animal.Set of devices for the generation of electrical energy from animal effort.
Consiste la presente invención en un conjunto de dispositivos que permiten la utilización del esfuerzo de animales o personas para la obtención de energía eléctrica, generalmente a pequeña escala, pero también a escala mayor.The present invention consists of a set of devices that allow the use of the effort of animals or people to obtain electrical energy, generally on a small scale, but also on a larger scale.
ANTECEDENTESBACKGROUND
Antiguamente se utilizaba la fuerza de animales de tiro, tales como burros o caballos para la extracción de agua de pozos mediante norias u otros dispositivos de extracción. Es conocido que animales, tales como los caballos, necesitan la realización de un esfuerzo diario que les permita mantener sus condiciones físicas.Formerly, the force of draft animals, such as donkeys or horses, was used to extract water from wells using ferris wheels or other extraction devices. It is known that animals, such as horses, need to make a daily effort that allows them to maintain their physical conditions.
Sin embargo, en los tiempos actuales, no se utilizan los caballos para labores rurales, sino que numerosas personas los tienen como animal deportivo para la práctica de la equitación, o para concursos de tiro y arrastre. Estos caballos se cuidan en cuadras o picaderos especialmente concebidos para ello, montándolos sus cuidadores o sacándolos a pasear, o arrastrando piezas pesadas para que se ejerciten. Ello supone un coste para el dueño del caballo y un esfuerzo para el cuidador, que solamente puede ocuparse de un caballo a la vez.However, at the present time, horses are not used for rural work, but many people have them as a sports animal for the practice of horse riding, or for shooting and drag competitions. These horses are cared for in stables or riding schools specially designed for this, mounted by their caretakers or taken for a walk, or dragging heavy pieces to exercise. This implies a cost for the owner of the horse and an effort for the caretaker, who can only deal with one horse at a time.
Por lo tanto, sería deseable que el caballo, al tiempo que realiza un esfuerzo de mantenimiento, dé también un rendimiento, preferentemente en forma de energía, que compensaría una parte del coste de su mantenimiento, al tiempo que permitiría al cuidador emplear varios caballos simultáneamente. Es también conocido que en numerosos lugares del mundo hay personas que viven en condiciones infrahumanas, teniendo que realizar largos trayectos para desplazar agua del lugar en el que ésta se encuentra hasta el poblado o lugar de utilización. Sin embargo, un aprovechamiento del esfuerzo generado por estas personas, o los animales adecuados que posean, debidamente utilizado, podría producir energía eléctrica suficiente para alimentar una estación de bombeo, que evitaría la necesidad del desplazamiento, permitiendo a las personas que realizan esa labor, otras labores más productivas.Therefore, it would be desirable that the horse, while making a maintenance effort, also gives a yield, preferably in the form of energy, that would offset a part of the cost of its maintenance, while allowing the caregiver to employ several horses simultaneously . It is also known that in many places in the world there are people who live in subhuman conditions, having to make long journeys to move water from the place where it is located to the town or place of use. However, taking advantage of the effort generated by these people, or the appropriate animals that they possess, properly used, could produce enough electrical energy to power a pumping station, which would avoid the need for displacement, allowing people who perform that work, other more productive work.
El paulatino deterioro del medio ambiente del planeta en el que vivimos hace que debamos explorar cualquier posibilidad de generar energía limpia, que no ensucie el medio mediante gases de efecto invernadero (energías térmicas a partir de materias fósiles) o lluvia acida, o genere residuos que somos incapaces de neutralizar (energía nuclear). La energía solar o la energía eólica son dos muestras de energías alternativas que están siendo grandemente utilizadas, pero la primera presenta escaso rendimiento, mientras que la segunda presenta un importante impacto ambiental.The gradual deterioration of the environment of the planet in which we live causes us to explore any possibility of generating clean energy, which does not dirty the environment through greenhouse gases (thermal energy from fossil materials) or acid rain, or generate waste that We are unable to neutralize (nuclear energy). Solar energy or wind energy are two samples of alternative energy that are being widely used, but the first one has poor performance, while the second one has an important environmental impact.
Es por ello un objeto de la presente invención un método para la producción de energía eléctrica mediante la utilización de fuerza animal, de modo que el arrastre de un animal o incluso de un conjunto de personas pueda producir una cierta cantidad de energía eléctrica para su utilización o almacenamiento. La invención se extiende también a un dispositivo por el cual puede convertirse en energía eléctrica la fuerza animal o humana de tracción. RESUMEN DE LA INVENCIÓNIt is therefore an object of the present invention a method for the production of electrical energy by the use of animal force, so that the drag of an animal or even a group of people can produce a certain amount of electrical energy for its use. or storage The invention also extends to a device by which animal or human traction force can be converted into electrical energy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Es también una opción en la presente invención la inclusión de un medio o dispositivo de mantenimiento del movimiento aprovechando o no parte de la energía almacenada, cuando se produce, por ejemplo, la sustitución de un animal o el relevo de una persona.It is also an option in the present invention the inclusion of a means or device for maintaining movement using or not using part of the stored energy, when there is, for example, the replacement of an animal or the relief of a person.

Los medios de unión 3, disponen al menos un arnés 6 o dispositivo de sujeción o empuje del animal o persona, vinculado a dicho medio de unión 3, que permite que el empuje animal sea transmitido al dispositivo giratorio.The joining means 3, provide at least one harness 6 or holding or pushing device of the animal or person, linked to said joining means 3, which allows the animal push to be transmitted to the rotating device.
De acuerdo con un modo de realización particular los arneses de sujeción son desplazables radialmente para una fijación adecuada para obtener una relación óptima entre la fuerza realizada y el recorrido para la obtención de la energía correspondiente, de modo que el animal o la persona que realiza el empuje, realice más o menos fuerza para un mismo movimiento, en función de la posición radial del arnés. Ello permite equilibrar la fuerza de empuje en función de las capacidades de cada animal.According to a particular embodiment, the clamping harnesses are radially movable for a suitable fixation to obtain an optimal relationship between the force made and the path for obtaining the corresponding energy, so that the animal or the person making the push, make more or less force for the same movement, depending on the radial position of the harness This allows balancing the thrust force according to the capabilities of each animal.
De acuerdo con otro posible modo de realización, cada uno de los arneses de empuje, dispone un elemento detector de la fuerza realizada, que en combinación con el recorrido permite conocer la cantidad de energía producida por ese puesto, en términos absolutos o relativos respecto al conjunto.According to another possible embodiment, each of the thrust harnesses has a force-sensing element that, in combination with the path, allows to know the amount of energy produced by that position, in absolute or relative terms with respect to the set.
En el caso de que el dispositivo generador esté concebido para ser empujado por personas, se contempla además la posibilidad de disponer de indicadores visuales en el puesto de empuje, o incluso dispositivos de entretenimiento, tales como dispositivos audiovisuales.In the event that the generating device is designed to be pushed by people, the possibility of having visual indicators at the push point, or even entertainment devices, such as audiovisual devices, is also contemplated.
Se contempla la posibilidad de que de dispongan múltiples generadores, de modo que cuando la fuerza ejercida sea menor, o el número de animales que se utilicen sea menor de la capacidad total, se desactiven en número adecuado para una optimización de la generación.The possibility of having multiple generators is contemplated, so that when the force exerted is less, or the number of animals used is less than the total capacity, they are deactivated in an adequate number for an optimization of the generation.
Se ha previsto, que la generación excedente se acumule en baterías eléctricas, una de cuyas finalidades es la de actuar sobre un medio motor para mantener el movimiento, y por tanto la frecuencia en la generación, en los cambios de animales. Esta generación animal es compatible con cualquier otro tipo de generación en combinación con el cual pueda mantenerse o regularse la potencia obtenida u obtenerse la suma de ambas.It is envisaged that surplus generation will accumulate in electric batteries, one of whose purposes is to act on a motor medium to maintain movement, and therefore the frequency in the generation, in animal changes. This animal generation is compatible with any other type of generation in combination with which the power obtained or the sum of both can be maintained or regulated.
El procedimiento, conforme se ilustra en la figura 3 incluye la generación animal o humana 11, sobre la cual se realiza un control 12 del aporte energético (o de potencia) de cada animal o persona, y la cuantificación 13 en unidades energéticas o monetarias.The procedure, as illustrated in Figure 3 includes the animal or human generation 11, over which a control 12 of the energy contribution (or power) of each animal or person is performed, and the quantification 13 in energy or monetary units.
El diagrama de la figura 4 representa con 11 la generación de energía eléctrica, 14 si existe o excedente que deba ser almacenado 18 o por el contrario debe ir toda a suministro 17. En el caso de que existan puntas de consumo que lo requieran se decidirá 19 si por un fallo o insuficiencia 20 en la generación se reincorpora parte de la energía a generación 11 o si por el contrario o en caso de exceso de almacenamiento se revierte a suministro.The diagram of figure 4 represents with 11 the generation of electric power, 14 if there is or surplus that must be stored 18 or on the contrary it must go all to supply 17. In the event that there are consumption points that require it, it will be decided 19 if due to a failure or insufficiency 20 in the generation part of the energy is returned to generation 11 or if on the contrary or in case of excess storage it is reverted to supply.
Conforme a la realización de la figura 5, la estructura de arrastre 30 está dispuesta a la altura de desplazamiento de los animales, estando dicha estructura sustentada por medio de unos cables o tirantes 31 sujetos al eje de giro 2. Dicho eje comprende un alojamiento provisto de al menos un par de rodamientos 32, y su base comprende también un medio de rodadura de bajo rozamiento.
