Description

POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS USING HYDROMOTOR WITH A CENTER WITH VARIABLE NUMBER OF CYLINDERS

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to an energy and power generation system and an embodiment thereof using hydromotors, which are used for energy and power generation, and provides power without the need for an external energy source by amplifying a small energy it receives depending on the number and size of cylinders it contains, and by providing its own power.

STATE OF ART

Power need, which is one of the greatest needs of humanity, is increasing day by day and the search for alternative solutions to petroleum, natural gas, solid fuel and similar fossil fuels with increasing population are continuously being developed. Considering the rapid depletion of fossil fuels as well as their environmental impact, it always maintains its place at the top of the list of major problems that need to be solved in eco-balance. In addition, due to the reduction of fossil fuels and the rare use of alternative fuels and energy sources in industrial and social uses, and the fact that it is an increasingly costly fuel are encouraging factors for alternative energy sources.

Although solar energy systems, which are becoming more common an alternative to fossil fuels, are very efficient, the fact that the installation of the system is expensive and it occupies too much space, prevents it from being a preferred system for small enterprises and home use. However, the collected solar energy is converted into electrical energy and then stored so that it can be used after the sun sets. This causes additional battery costs and maintenance-repair and disposal problems of the batteries containing harmful chemicals due to their replacement and disposal in 2-3 years as their life cycle ends.

The cost and application locations of wind power plants, another alternative source of power generation, are the biggest obstacles to their implementation everywhere. They cannot be used in places that do not have enough wind for energy production and also the cost of remote transmission is problematic.

Despite hydroelectric power plants are clean and efficient energy generation sources as another alternative power source, they are advantageous in the short term but they constitute a problematic investment in the long term due to the environmental damages they create. Trapping water during filling the dam reservoir causes lack of water for the irrigation agricultural land due to lack of water in the downstream slopes, and also causes problems for fish and other living beings whose water needs cannot be met in the eco system. In addition, the damage to the environment during the construction of the dam should also be considered.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to energy and power generation system with hydromotor to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and provide new advantages to the relevant technical field.

An object of the present invention is to provide a completely clean and recyclable energy and power generation system for the environment.

Another object of the present invention is to provide energy and power generation irrespective of environmental and time constraints, i.e. at any season and time in either a basement or a warehouse or outdoors unlike dams, solar panels and windmills. Drawings

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred alternatives of the power generation system with cylinder centered hydromotor structure of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

The system of the invention comprises at least one center (10) comprising cylinders (1 ) of variable numbers and sizes, a power supply moving the center (10) and a hydromotor (19) in which the fluid taken from the center (10) is transmitted by increasing its pressure. The invention provides for the power generated by the hydromotor (19) with pressurized fluid operate a generator, machine, motor and the like applications with the shaft (20).

In the operation of the center (10) of the system of the invention; as shown in Figure 1 , the fluid is pressure forced out of the hydraulic outlet (9) by the movement of a piston (2) connected to the power lever (3) in the cylinder (1 ). In this way, the fluid is delivered to the system, and following the required pressure adjustments, it is transmitted to the hydromotor (19). The movement of the piston (2) is provided by the power levers (3) connected to the drawer (4), while the drawers (4) take the push or pull movement from a power supply. This power supply can be built with an electric motor (24) as shown in Figure 5, a hydraulic or pneumatic power cylinder (28) as shown in Figure 6 and similar mechanisms as well as the mechanisms shown in Figure 2. These power supplies used as initiators in the system then provide the operation of the centers (10) with the transformation of the power generated by the system itself.

In the invention, when the initiator is a mechanism as in Figure 2, the pull of the levers (7) attached to the lever body (5) moves the drawers (4) in the center (10) with multiple cylinders (1 ), the power lever (3) in the center (10) with single cylinder (1 ) with the steel wires (8) attached to the pullers (6) fixed to the levers (7). The calculations of the initiator having such an embodiment are provided below. Here, the movement of the power levers (7) can be provided by hanging the appropriate weights to the ends and the ends of the levers are operated by the electric gearmotor and by weight. Power can be applied to the end of the levers (7) by means of a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric cylinder and the drawers of the center (10) can be pushed and pulled. In addition, the hydraulic, pneumatic or electric power cylinder (28) can also apply pushing and pulling force through cylinder power lever (27) directly to the center (10). Another method for moving the center (10) is to move the drawers (4) by moving the steel wire (8) with the rotation obtained by the drum gear (26) and electric motor (24) from the drive wheel (25).

Table 1 - Length of the lever (7) and values of the load taken with applied force.

Pipe Lever Length Total Pipe Length Force Load Applied Force (Kg) (Cm) (Cm) Obtained (Kg)

Measurement calculations of the cylinders (1 ) of the invention are provided below. Table 2 - Cylinder (1 ) measurement calculations.

Pipe Diameter Pipe Length (cm) Capacity ( Inch Capacity ( Liters )

Assuming that there are 5 cylinders with a diameter of 30 cm and a diameter of 150 cm in the centers (10), a calculation is performed in order to obtain a power of 22 KW at 750 rpm. The hydromotor (19) requires 46,725 liters of hydraulic oil pressure and flow rate per minute at 150 Bar. Said hydromotor (19) has an inlet-outlet diameter of 1 ½ inch. A hydraulic oil power of 600 kg must be applied to the 4 square centimeter, which is the connection diameter for a 750 rpm rotation at 22KW for 1 minute.

When we apply force to the center (10) by means of levers (7), electric motor, hydraulic piston etc. as an initiator, for example, when we apply 2500 kg force to the cm square of the center (10), the necessary adjustments allows the application of 625 kg force to the 4 square cm area of the hydromotor (19). This applied force will continue for 1 1.4 minutes, considering the total volume of the cylinders (1 ). In other words, if 2500 kg force is applied to the center (10) in accordance with the calculations in Table-1 or by means of other electric motors and similar methods, 525 liters of liquid in 5 cylinders in the center (10) will suffice for 1 1.4 minutes. In the operation of the system of the invention; as shown in Figure 3, a variable number of centers (10) with cylinders (1 ) variable according to needs includes a tank (1 1 ) which provides fluid to these centers (10). The flow line (15) which transfers the fluid exiting the tank (1 1 ) to the centers (10), and a solenoid valve (12) controlling the fluid passage right after the tank (11 ) in this flow line (15) are provided. Heat exchanger (13) is used in the system to increase the pressure from the center (10). After the heat exchanger

(13), the fluid passes through another solenoid valve (12) through the check valve (14) and reaches the pressure regulator (16). The fluid which is at the pressure value set by the pressure regulator (16) passes through the monometer (17) and the excess fluid returns to the tank (11 ) from the redundancy line (22). The fluid at the flow rate and pressure adjusted according to the working pressure of the hydromotor (19) is monitored in the manometer (17) and reaches the speed regulator (18). The fluid which is adjusted and if necessary, changed until the desired rotational speed is achieved enters the hydromotor (19) and power is generated. After forming the axial rotation in the hydromotor (19), the fluid returns to the tank (1 1 ) via the return line (21 ). The fluid is passed through the particle filters before being taken to the tank (1 1 ).

In the invention, the tank (1 1 ) provides the storage of the fluid required by the centers (10) according to the working position. It houses the liquid that exits the center (10) applying force and is processed and rotated in the hydromotor (19).

The center (10) is a group of cylinders (1 ) which can be increased or decreased in terms of length, diameter and number as needed and which may be in the same or separate frames with other centers (10). Hydraulic fluids in the center (10) are pressurized and ready to produce power. If necessary, the same group of cylinders (1 ) can be applied force simultaneously or individually, and power can be generated.

In the system of the invention, the heat exchanger (13) is a connective collector chamber in which the hydraulic outlets of the cylinders (1 ) in each center (10) are connected. When force is applied, the cylinders (1 ) in the center (10) will want discharge the hydraulic oil and increase the pressure in the heat exchanger (13). The solenoid valve (12) in the tank (1 1 ) connection of the heat exchanger (13) is closed during the application of force, while the solenoid valve in front of the other check valve

(14) is open. The fluid will come to the pressure regulator (16) since the solenoid valves (12) are closed while pistons (2) are returning to the cylinder (1 ) when the pressurized liquid following this path applies no force to the other centers (10) and after force is applied. The pressure regulator (16) adjusts the pressure according to the working pressure of the hydromotor (19) and the pressure causing excess pressure returns to the tank (1 1 ) from the redundancy line (22) of the fluid pressure regulator (16). The fluid at the flow rate and pressure adjusted according to the working pressure of the hydromotor (19) at the outlet of the pressure regulator (16) is monitored in the manometer (17) and reaches the speed regulator (18). The fluid which is adjusted and if necessary, changed until the desired rotational speed is achieved enters the hydromotor (19) and power is generated.

The cylinder (1 ) that completes its job according to the force applications closes the open solenoid valves (12) and the check valves (14) and opens the closed ones in turn. Namely; at the center (10), when the solenoid valves (12) connected to the side of the exchanger (13) are closed, the solenoid valves (12) connected to the tank (1 1 ) are open. Thus, the cylinders (1 ) in the center (10) retreats and starts to collect fluid for the next movement, draw fluid just like an injector without being affected by the force of the others centers (10). The opening and closing automation of the solenoid valves (12) and check valves (14) of the entire system can be controlled with sensors and switches and a PLC with a defined software.

In the system of the invention, it is possible to operate the system without using a tank (1 1 ) as shown in Figure 4. In the center (10), where a force is applied, the fluid pressurized at the heat exchanger (13) at the outlet passes through the solenoid valve (12) and the check valve (14) and reaches the pressure regulator (16). After the appropriate pressure is adjusted, the excess fluid passes through the redundancy check valve (23), passes through the solenoid valve (12) again with the redundancy line (22), idles, and is sent back to the cylinder (1 ) in the center (10) which has completed the driving. On the other side, the pressure required is monitored by the manometer (17), passed through the speed regulator (18), enters the hydromotor (19) and thus, the axial rotation is performed. The finished fluid is sent from the return line (21 ) to the cylinders (1 ) in the appropriate center (10) such as the solenoid valve (12) at the outlet of the pressure regulator (16).

While the system of the invention generates electrical energy in its embodiment like a generator, in its embodiment as an internal combustion engine, it can be used in every field of the industry in which axial rotational motion is needed, as well as providing the generation of motion energy for the vehicles. The whole system eliminated the dependency on an external power source by generating its own small and easily- generated power from PLC and other power sources by connecting a small charger to the rotation motion.

In the application of the system in ships, for example, if levers and a pulley system is mounted to the appropriate height of the pole in the ships, called the mast, the power obtained by the up and down motion of these levers, an electric motor, hydraulic mechanism or weight and similar forces is delivered to the centers (10). The levers on the mast can be the pushing and pulling force directly to the center (10) by the method of pulling from the stern or cutwater of the ship or by an electric motor (24) and drum gear (26) as in Figure 5 or by the hydraulic, pneumatic or electric power cylinder (28) as in Figure 6.
