However, railway transportation has large investment and slow recovery; The transportation speed is fast and the investment is small. However, the transportation capacity of road transportation is small, the transportation energy consumption is high, and the transportation cost is high. The transportation capacity of water transportation is the largest. In the navigation channel with good transportation conditions, the passing capacity is almost unlimited, the construction investment province, transportation The cost is low and the average transportation distance is long. However, the water transportation is greatly affected by natural conditions, and it is difficult to guarantee the navigation throughout the year. The transportation speed of civil air transportation is fast and the maneuverability is good. However, the aircraft cost is high, the energy consumption is large, the transportation capacity is small, and the cost is very high. High and technically complex; the transportation volume of pipeline transportation is large, the transportation engineering volume is small, the land occupation is small, the energy consumption is small, the safety is reliable, and it is not affected by the climate. It can realize closed transportation and less loss. However, pipeline transportation has strong specificity. Transport oil, natural gas and solid slurry.

The above-mentioned several modes of transportation mostly use non-renewable resources such as petroleum as energy sources. The development and utilization of non-renewable resources by humans will only be consumed, and it is impossible to maintain the original reserves or regeneration. In the process of mining and utilization, environmental pollution is inevitably caused, resulting in unsustainable development.

In recent years, the use of clean renewable resources has attracted more and more attention. Among them, the use of solar energy and wind energy accounts for a considerable proportion, while tidal energy is currently limited to a small amount of power generation. The tidal wave energy refers to the potential energy of the water caused by the lunar gravity caused by the lunar gravity, including the tides and the tidal currents, which are the energy contained in the vertical and horizontal movements. The tidal water contains enormous energy in the fluctuations. Energy is an eternal, pollution-free clean energy. Therefore, the effective use of tidal energy can be a future development direction.

The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

There are two main methods for using tidal energy to transport materials. With flow and energy storage, orbits, channels or pipes are used to change the direction of water flow. Pipes and channels are used to change the flow rate. Designed for different water flow channels. The corresponding carrier carries the substance to achieve the purpose of transporting the substance.

The flow-through delivery method is as follows:

Embodiment 1

Referring to Figure 1, a first embodiment of the present invention is of the track type. Between the two coastal longitudes, as in the present embodiment, for Ningbo and Zhoushan, the track 1 is erected, both ends are in the ocean, and the carrier 2 containing the substance to be transported is slidably disposed in the track. 1 , referring to FIG. 4, the carrier 2 comprises a sealed can body container 21 made of composite glass reinforced plastic, which must be subjected to a counterweight, such as a cubic volume of about one ton of material, which has the same specific gravity as water, thereby The liquid is in suspension. Referring to Fig. 5, the substance is loaded and unloaded from the opening 22, the mouth 22 can be sealed, and the weight body 23 is provided at the bottom of the can body container 21, thereby facilitating the weight of the can body container 21. The carrier 2 can be suspended in water and sealed and waterproofed, thereby being movable as the water flow moves. The ends of the carrier 2 are oval in shape to reduce the resistance when moving in the water stream. Due to the longitude difference between Ningbo and Zhoushan, the high tide and low tide time of the two locations are different. When the tide is high, Zhoushan rises first, and Ningbo rises, thus forming a certain potential difference caused by the water level difference between the two locations. The tide has a tendency to flow from Zhoushan to Ningbo. The carrier 2 is located in the tidal water and moves from Zhoushan to Ningbo along the track 1 under the tidal flow; on the contrary, when the tide is low, the carrier 2 can be moved from Ningbo to Zhoushan.

Taking the difference formed by tidal energy as ΔΖ = 0.35 as an example, from the Bernoulli equation, Az _x + + f,

Where ^' = 0.357/7, Δζ ₂ = 0 Ρι = Ρ ₂ = \ tm,

g = 9Mm / s ² ,

In the case of zero hydraulic friction, substituting the above formula,

v ₂ = 8.21 m/s From the above calculation results, the potential energy formed by tidal energy can transport substances quickly and efficiently.

The two ends of the track 1 can also be erected in other water storage bodies, such as artificial, natural lakes or rivers. The water in the lake or river also contains abundant tidal energy, which forms a huge potential energy. As long as the two water storage bodies are connected, there is a difference in longitude. Embodiment 2

Referring to Figure 2, a second embodiment of the present invention is a channel type. Also between two locations with different longitudes, one of them is located along the coast, opening channel 3, connecting location A and location B. Location B is located at the seaside, and there is a reservoir 4 at location A. The two ends of channel 3 are connected to the ocean at location B and the reservoir at location A. When the tide rises, since the water level of the location B is higher than the water level of the reservoir 4 of the location A, the carrier 2 containing the substance to be transported moves to the location A with the water flow; when the tide falls, the water storage of the location A The water level of pool 4 is higher than the water level of location B, and carrier 2 moves to point B with the water flow.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, at least one section of the channel 3 can have a different diameter from the other portions, changing the flow of water passing through the unit time, thereby controlling the speed at which the carrier 2 moves.

At least one outlet channel 31 may be provided on the channel 3 as needed, and a water valve is disposed between the outlet channel 31 and the channel 3. The water outlet channel 31 is provided at a place where it is necessary to take out the substance or load the substance.

The two ends of the channel 3 can also be located in other water storage bodies, such as artificial, natural lakes or river courses, as long as the two water storage bodies have longitude differences. Embodiment 3

Referring to Fig. 3, a third embodiment of the present invention, the pipeline type, the pipeline type is divided into a geographical type and a siphon type, and this embodiment is a geographical type. It differs from the second embodiment in that the channel 3 is replaced by a pipe 5 laid under the surface. In the pipe 5, there is a carrier 2 for conveying a substance, see Fig. 4, in order to be able to operate in water, it must be sealed and waterproof; The operation is convenient, and the two ends of the carrier 2 are designed to be oval or circular, and are changed according to the shape of the pipe 5.

Referring to FIG. 5, in order to prevent the friction of the flow from damaging the carrier 2 and causing damage to the material, the outer side wall of the can body container 21 is symmetrically provided with a guide wheel 24, which is a track guide wheel and an elastic guide wheel, or a track guide wheel and Inelastic guide wheel; a bumper 25 is provided at both ends of the can body container 21.

When the tide rises, since the water level of the location B is higher than the water level of the reservoir 4 of the location A, the carrier 2 containing the substance to be transported moves to the location A with the water flow; when the tide falls, the water storage of the location A The water level of pool 4 is higher than the water level of location B, and carrier 2 moves to point B with the water flow.

As in the second embodiment, the pipe 5 can also have a diameter different from that of the other portions as in the channel 3. The two ends of the pipe 5 can also be disposed in other water storage bodies, such as artificial, natural lakes or river courses, as long as two. There is a difference in longitude between the water storage bodies. Embodiment 4

Referring to Figure 6, a fourth embodiment of the present invention is a siphon type. The difference from the third embodiment is that the pipeline 5 is laid on the ground surface to solve the problem of crossing the sea level and the sea level, and overcoming the construction difficulty formed by the geographical situation can greatly reduce the engineering quantity and reduce the construction cost. Since the pressure of the atmosphere can only siphon the water to about ten meters, in the reservoir 4, the floating plugs are provided at both ends of the pipe 5, and the pressure and suction generated by the lifting of the floating plug 6 solve the shortage of the siphon. The floating plugs 6 can be modularly combined to increase the energy and increase the speed to facilitate the realization of the project.

Using the siphon principle, when the tide rises, since the water level of the location B is higher than the water level of the reservoir 4 of the location A, the difference in liquid pressure at both ends can push the liquid over the highest point on the way, as in the mountain shown in this embodiment, The carrier 2 containing the substance to be transported can move to the location A with the flow of water; when the tide falls, the water level of the reservoir 4 of the location A is higher than the water level of the location B, and the carrier 2 moves to the location B with the flow of water.

A siphonic conveyor system that delivers oil directly.

The pipe 5 can also be like the channel 3, at least one section of which has a different diameter from the other parts. The two ends of the pipe 5 can also be arranged in other water storage bodies, such as artificial, natural lakes or river courses, as long as the two water storage bodies have longitude. difference. Embodiment 5

Referring to Fig. 7, a fifth embodiment of the present invention is an energy storage type. The energy storage type is mainly used in two locations with the same longitude, location C and location Ding, such as the sea and Beijing, where there is a reservoir 4. Lay the pipeline 5 under the surface to connect two locations, the location of the ocean and the location of the reservoir 4. A plurality of water storage stations 7 for storing tidal water are arranged at each coastal port on the pipeline 5, and a water raft is arranged between the water storage station 7 and the pipeline 5. The water storage station 7 can store water and storage at high tide or low tide according to actual conditions. can. When the tide rises, the water level rises, and the carrier 2 in the pipe 5 moves from Shanghai to Beijing with the water flow; when the tide falls, the water level drops, and the water is discharged from the reservoir 4 into the pipe 5, and the carrier 2 in the pipe 5 follows the water flow. Moving from Shanghai to Beijing. When the transport capacity of the water flow is decreased, each water storage station 7 can put the stored water into the pipeline 5, To increase the flow rate.

Of course, a water storage station 7 can also be provided on the flow-through conveying water flow passage to more effectively utilize the tidal energy. Similarly, the ends of the pipe 5 can also be located in other water storage bodies, such as artificial, natural lakes or river courses.

The above-mentioned water storage body must satisfy the water storage capacity transported between the two places.

In the above embodiment, tidal energy is used as the power, and a separate power propulsion system can be provided in the tank container 21.

The above embodiment describes a system for transporting a substance using tidal energy, wherein the carrier 2 mentioned can also be used in other fluids, such as gases, and can be moved in the same manner as a fluid, such as a gas, by a counterweight. The transportation is also applied to the system of using the potential energy formed by the high and low drops between the source and the estuary of high-altitude water such as rivers and rivers as a driving force to transport materials from south to north or from east to west.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention.
