The working process of the system for preparing compressing air using weight potential energy of the present invention is described as follows: the electromotor 14 is turned on when the power utilization is in an off-peak state at night, and the sprocket wheel 15 is driven to rotate by the electromotor 14, then the second chain 16 engaged with the sprocket wheel 15 is moving upward; the first tray on the second chain 16 is departing from a predefined position and moving upward, then the optoelectronic switch 28 is switched on, and the servo motor 23 drives the eccentric wheel on the power-output shaft to rotate so as to make the block plate moving downward, thereby one ball in the second storage device is thrown into the first tray. Next, the second tray passes into the predefined position, and then the optoelectronic switch 28 is switched off. The servo motor 23 drives the eccentric wheel connected to the power-output shaft thereof to rotate so as to make the block plate moving upward, thereby the ball is blocked. Above process is repeated, such that when the balls in the second storage are transported to the top of the sprocket wheel 13, the balls drop down with its own gravity and fall into the sphere receiving opening of the first storage device 19. In this way, the electric energy can be stored in the form of weight potential energy.
When the compressed air is needed, the servo motor 24 is turned on to drive the eccentric wheel disposed on its power-output shaft to rotate. As a result, the block plate moves downward. One ball in the first storage device 19 is thrown into the first tray in the first chain. Due to the own gravity of the ball, the first chain is driven to move down by the ball, so that the first sprocket wheel and the second sprocket wheel are driven to rotate by the first chain. Meanwhile, the optoelectronic switch 28 is switched on. The servo motor 24 drives the eccentric wheel disposed on its power-output shaft to rotate continually so that the block plate is driven to move upward and the second ball in the first storage device 19 is blocked. After the first ball moves a distance downward, the second tray on the first chain causes the optoelectronic switch 28 to switch off. The servo motor 24 drives the eccentric wheel disposed on its power-output shaft to rotate continually so that the block plate is driven to move downward and the second ball in the first storage device 19 drops into the second tray in the first chain. Due to the own gravity of the ball, the first chain is driven to move down by the ball, so that the first sprocket wheel and the second sprocket wheel are driven to rotate by the first chain. Above process is repeated, so that when the first sprocket wheel and the second sprocket wheel are rotating, the power-output shafts disposed on which are driven to rotate. The low-speed input shaft of the speed-increasing gearbox 3 is driven to rotate by the power-output shaft. The high-speed input shaft of the speed-increasing gearbox 3 is rotating so as to drive the flywheel 4 to rotate. The crankshaft of the air compressing device is driven to move by the flywheel 4 such that the atmospheric air filled in an air cylinder is compressed into high pressure air and is stored in a storage vessel.
The working principle of the present invention has been described above in details by combining with the accompanying drawings. However, the specific embodiment is used to illustrate the present invention exemplarily. The specification is only used to explain the claims. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the specification. The modification and replacement easily thought of by any skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be limited by the scope of the claims.
