In Lever's law, if the length between the working point and the support point is a, the length between the force point and the support point is b, the force applied to the force point is F, and the force applied to the object is W, b × F = a × W is established. do. Therefore, when the working point and the supporting point are at the same point, the value of W is maximized as the length of the force point and the supporting point becomes longer. That is, in order to increase the force W applied to the object, a large diameter rotating body 20 is required, and in the present invention, the bucket in the crawler 10 to rotate the large diameter rotating body 20. (14) is installed to allow the fluid to descend in the bucket 14 while using the large potential energy obtained by the weight of the fluid along with the free fall energy of the fluid.

In addition, since the fluid used in the present invention may be dropped and filled with the bucket 14a positioned at the upper part, the fluid may overflow from the upper bucket 14a and be filled in the bucket 14b positioned at the lower side thereof. Increasing the total weight allows initial actuation to occur spontaneously, without the need for artificial or separate drives.

Hereinafter, a driving apparatus and a power generation system using the potential energy of the fluid of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the driving apparatus of the present invention includes an upper wheel 11 and a lower wheel 12 formed on a vertical line with respect to the ground, a rail 13 circulating the upper wheel and the lower wheel, An endless track (10) consisting of a plurality of buckets (14) fixed at uniform intervals on the rail; A rotating body (20) having a plurality of teeth (21) fixed to the outside at uniform intervals and engaged with bars of the bucket; And a fluid supplied to the bucket to apply potential energy to the caterpillar.

The crawler 10 is a device for connecting a plate made of steel plate in a chain shape and rotating it by hooking the upper and lower wheels as a belt. The upper wheel 11, the lower wheel 12, and the upper and lower wheels 11 and 12. ) And a plurality of buckets (14), which are wound at the outer surface and are provided with a plurality of buckets (14) on the outer surface and fixed at regular intervals on the rails (13), containing the fluid, perpendicular to the ground. Is installed.

The bucket 14 installed on the crawler 10 (see FIG. 2) has a centrally opened gourd shape, and the upper side of the bucket 14 is formed wider than the lower side to fill the bucket 14a located at the top and therefrom. The overflowing fluid is configured to be filled inside the lower bucket 14b. In addition, the hole 16 may be provided along the curved surface of the bucket so that the fluid fills and flows down the conduit of the hole 16 so as to accurately drop into the lower bucket 14b. In addition, the bar 15 fixed to the outside of the bucket 14 has a curved shape in a lower portion thereof, so that when the bar 15 of the bucket and the teeth 21 of the rotating body 20 come into contact with each other, a line and a line other than the surface are not. It is desirable to configure to minimize frictional losses by allowing contact.

The fluid supplier 30 including the reservoir 31 for dropping the fluid at a predetermined height is installed on the upper end of the caterpillar 10. Here, the fluid is water, sand, and the like material that can be filled in the bucket 14 is to be transported to a certain height and can be applied to drop energy and potential energy to the bucket 14, the fluid supply 30 as a water pump, conveyor belt And the like can be used.

The rotating body 20 is a wheel of a wheel shape, a plurality of teeth 21 attached to the outer peripheral surface is configured to rotate in engagement with the bar 15 of the bucket 14 of the caterpillar 10. That is, the teeth 21 of the rotating body 20 is in contact with the bar 15 of the bucket 14 while receiving the total weight (force) of the buckets located above the bucket to rotate the rotating body 20 It is formed. The teeth 21 of the rotor 20 are radially equally spaced from the central axis of the rotor 20, and the interval is equal to the interval between the buckets 14 of the crawler 10 so that the rotation is smooth. It is desirable to make this happen.

Hereinafter, the operation of the drive device having the above configuration will be described.

When the fluid supplied from the fluid supplier 30 falls through the reservoir 31, it is contained in the bucket 14. The falling fluid applies drop energy to the bucket 14 while the bucket 14 The fluid contained in the inside is applied to the bucket 14 by the potential energy of its weight to rotate the crawler 10 while moving the bucket 14 downward. The fluid of the bucket 14 descending to the bottom end is poured so that only the empty bucket 14 moves upward along the track 10.

At this time, conventionally, because the weight is dropped on the bucket 14 is not provided with sufficient weight by the first weight provided so that the caterpillar 10 or the rotating body 20 to be described later is driven by applying an artificial force However, in the present invention, the fluid flowing from the high place to the low place is sequentially contained in each bucket 14 by using the characteristics of the fluid to increase the total weight so that the initial of the crawler 10 and the rotating body 20 may be increased. Driving and continuous driving can be made smooth.

That is, when the reservoir 31 of the fluid supplier 30 supplies the fluid, the crawler 10 and the rotating body 20 may not be driven by the load of the bucket in which the fluid is initially filled. However, when the fluid overflows from the bucket 14a where the initial fluid is filled, the fluid falls down. Of course, the shape of the bucket 14 falls to the bucket 14b located below. When the fluid is filled in the buckets 14 to have a predetermined load or more, natural driving is performed. This can be usefully used even when the supply of fluid is large. That is, the fluid overflowed from the upper bucket 14a can be naturally filled with the lower bucket 14b, thereby increasing the utilization of the fluid.

Thereafter, it is preferable to adjust the speed of the rail 13 and the fluid supply amount of the reservoir 31 so that the fluid supply to the next bucket 14b is made in the state where the fluid is maximized in the bucket 14a. This can be achieved by relatively adjusting the speed of the rail 13 and the fluid supply amount of the reservoir 31 through experiments.

For example, when there are five buckets 14 each having a volume of 50 L, and a rotating body 20 having a diameter of 4 m, a 10 horsepower fluid supply device 30 capable of supplying 1000 L per minute ), The maximum generation efficiency can be obtained.

As shown in FIG. 3, the power generation system of the present invention includes an upper wheel 11 and a lower wheel 12 formed on a vertical line with respect to the ground, a rail 13 circulating the upper wheel and the lower wheel, An endless track (10) consisting of a plurality of buckets (14) fixed at uniform intervals on the rail; A rotating body (20) having a plurality of teeth (21) fixed to the outside at uniform intervals and engaged with bars of the bucket; A fluid supplied to the bucket to apply potential energy to the caterpillar; And a generator 40 that receives power from the rotor and generates power.

The rotor 20 of FIG. 3 is provided with a gearbox 41 and a generator 40. It may be formed on the coaxial of the center of rotation of the rotating body 20, it may be formed by fastening with a belt. Separately, a separate transmission means or a clutch may be installed to reduce the load between the rotor 20 and the generator 40 and increase the rotation speed.

Looking at the operation of the power generation system having a configuration as shown in Figure 3, the rotor 20 is rotated by using the total weight of the fluid delivered from the bucket 14 of the caterpillar 10, the rotor 20 ), The rotational force is transmitted to the generator 40 through the belt, chain, gear, etc. 41 to generate power.

Although the present invention has been described in more detail with reference to some embodiments, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments and can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
