Description

Description Book Buoyancy Engine Technical Field

The invention relates to a power output device, in particular to an engine engine for realizing power output by buoyancy. Background technique

An engine, also known as an engine, is a machine that converts some form of energy into another, usually converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. Sometimes it applies to both the power generating device and the entire machine including the power unit, such as a gasoline engine or an aero engine. The engine was first born in the UK, so the concept of the engine is also derived from English, and its original meaning refers to the "mechanical device that generates power."

With the advancement of technology, people have been developing engines of different types and uses. However, regardless of the type of engine, its basic premise is to generate power by burning certain fuels.

However, with the massive use of fossil fuels by humans, there are two problems: On the one hand, the depletion of fossil fuels has led to high prices and supply crises, especially in the automotive industry, further exacerbating this crisis. On the other hand, humans continue to burn fossil fuels and emit carbon dioxide (one of the main sources of greenhouse gases), accelerating global warming.

In response to the above-mentioned crisis, governments have put energy issues as a strategic issue to maintain national security on the agenda. Undoubtedly vigorously developing renewable energy is an important measure to solve the energy crisis.

In order to promote the development and utilization of new energy, on January 1, 2006, China officially promulgated and implemented the Renewable Energy Law. The state has also introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage the development of renewable non-fossil energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, biomass, geothermal, and ocean energy.

Buoyancy is a very common natural phenomenon, but at the same time it is a renewable energy with great potential. It has inexhaustible, inexhaustible, no carbon emissions, no pollution, and environmental protection. Summary of the invention

In view of the problems existing in current fuel engines, it is an object of the present invention to provide a buoyancy force for lifting a piston, thereby storing energy by compressing or compressing the spring, and then automatically releasing the stored buoyant energy through a switch to perform work. A buoyancy engine that implements energy output.

The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: a buoyancy engine characterized in that it comprises a buoyancy piston, a piston cylinder matched with a buoyancy piston, a piston cylinder head, an energy storage mechanism, a power take-off lever, and a power release. The switch has at least one water inlet on the piston cylinder or the cylinder head, and at least one water outlet is further disposed on the piston cylinder. Instruction manual

The buoyancy piston is a hollow structure or a foam structure, and has a cross section of a circular shape, a circular shape, a square shape, an elliptical shape, a semicircular shape, a polygonal shape, and the like; and may be a pontoon or a plurality of pontoons connected in series.

The energy storage mechanism is a spring compression energy storage mechanism or a gas compression energy storage mechanism.

The spring is a cylindrical spring, a coil spring, a disc spring, a slotted disc spring, a diaphragm spring, a serpentine spring, a truncated cone scroll spring, a ring spring, a leaf spring, a steel sheet spring, a spring bow, a plastic spring Or any of the alloy springs.

The power release switch is one of a trigger automatic lock, a spring automatic lock, an electric lock, an electromagnetic lock, and a pneumatic lock. The above buoyancy engine can be used in a single cylinder, or multi-cylinder in parallel, and time-sharing operation; when multiple cylinders are connected in parallel, a synchronizer is also included to realize time-sharing operation to achieve more stable power output.

The basic working mode of the invention is as follows: First, the water outlet is automatically closed, and the water inlet automatically opens to start the water inlet, and the buoyancy piston moves upward under buoyancy, thereby compressing the energy storage mechanism (spring or gas storage chamber). The energy is stored; then, the water outlet is automatically opened for drainage, and then the power release is automatically released by opening the power release switch to quickly release the stored buoyant energy to achieve energy output. The above process is repeated and the work is done cyclically.

The invention has the advantages of using buoyancy to drive the piston to work, no need to consume fossil fuel, no restriction on petroleum resources, no pollution, and environmental protection. The power of the present invention is proportional to the volume of the buoyancy engine, and the efficiency is proportional to the number of buoyancy engines. The greater the number of buoyancy engines, the higher the efficiency, and the smoother the power output.
