Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] The core technical effect of the present invention is that the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 can guide the transfer or conversion of energy between the positive energy body 1, the negative energy body 2, and the energy conduction unit 7 based on the energy storage or release actions of the elastic connection unit 4. The elastic connection unit 4 uses the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 as carriers for constraint establishment and energy storage, and establishes an effective elastic linkage mechanism between the two. By connecting the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 to the energy conduction unit 7 respectively, and under the coordinated action of the energy conduction unit 7, the elastic connection unit 4, and the multiple constraint units 3 on one side automatically releasing or constraining one by one, and the multiple constraint units 3 on the opposite side automatically forming or releasing constraints one by one, when any unit of the positive energy body 1 or the negative energy body 2 generates elastic energy storage or release, the other unit performs a coordinated reverse action, thereby driving the system operation and automatically guiding energy transfer in steps. Through this system device, energy can be regularly and automatically stored, released, transferred, or converted in steps between the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 and the energy conduction unit 7.
[0043] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the specific implementation of this technical solution is as follows:
[0044] The present invention provides a positive-negative elastic energy storage and conversion device, comprising a positive energy body 1, a negative energy body 2, an elastic connection unit 4 and a constraint unit 3, wherein the two ends of the elastic connection unit 4 are respectively connected to the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2, and the constraint unit 3 is connected to the elastic connection unit 4; the elastic connection unit 4 uses the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 as carriers for constraint establishment and energy storage.
[0045] The constraint unit 3 can form or release constraints on the elastic connection unit 4 between the positive energy body 1 or the anti-energy body 2 and enable the elastic connection unit 4 to store or release energy; the positive energy body 1 and the anti-energy body 2 can guide the energy to be transferred or converted between the positive energy body 1, the anti-energy body 2 and the energy conduction unit 7 according to the action of storing or releasing energy of the elastic connection unit 4.
[0046] As an optional embodiment, the elastic connection unit 4 includes at least one of an elastic rope, an elastic belt, an elastic film, an elastic fiber, an elastic folding moving member, a muscle fiber, an electromagnetic field, and a gravitational field.
[0047] As an optional implementation, there are multiple constraint units 3.
[0048] It should be noted that in actual use, there is at least one positive energy body 1 and at least one negative energy body 2. To ensure that energy can be regularly and automatically stored, released, transferred, or converted between the positive energy body 1, the negative energy body 2, and the energy conduction unit 7, the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 have opposite motion states. Specifically, the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 are in different motion states, and there is always a difference in motion state between the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2. For example, in an embodiment using an elastic cable as the elastic connection unit 4, the elastic cable is unwound on one positive energy body 1, in the "release" motion state, and wound on the other negative energy body 2, in the "retraction" motion state. This alternating release and retraction ensures the continuous operation of the process. Furthermore, the system design makes this process reversible, allowing the system to be in a state of continuous cyclic motion or cyclic winding, ensuring the system's continuous, cyclic operation.
[0049] The two positive and negative energy bodies with opposite movement directions can keep the system in a continuous "retraction" or "release" state, ensuring the continuous circulation operation of the system.
[0050] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a buffer unit 9, which is connected to the elastic connection unit 4. The buffer unit 9 is located between two adjacent constraint units 3 and can cooperate with the above-mentioned constraint unit 3 to provide corresponding buffering and feedback, so as to maintain the elastic connection between the two adjacent constraint units 3, and can help weaken the large or too fast changes in the elastic connection between the two adjacent constraint units 3 when there are large changes, thereby enhancing the stability of the device during operation, preventing it from being damaged due to violent fluctuations in force, and realizing the steady storage and release of energy.
[0051] The buffer unit 9 can provide buffering for the action of storing or releasing energy of the elastic connection unit 4. The buffer unit 9 can also be other similar structures provided with a spiral spring. In this case, the spiral spring has a pre-set tension. When it is retracted, it can retract the slack part in the elastic connection unit 4. In this way, when the elastic energy of the elastic connection unit 4 is transmitted to the next constraint unit 3, the strength feedback of the elastic connection unit 4 by the buffer unit 9 is enhanced, and the elastic energy is steadily released.
[0052] The structure in which the buffer unit 9 is located between two adjacent constraint units 3 can reduce the impact or large fluctuation that may occur in the process as much as possible under the premise of realizing automatic step-by-step storage, release, transfer or conversion of energy.
[0053] As an optional implementation, the constraint unit 3 includes a constraint promotion system 31 and a constraint release system 32, the constraint promotion system 31 is connected to the elastic connection unit 4, and the constraint promotion system 31 and the constraint release system 32 are connected; the telescopic state of the constraint promotion system 31 can control the constraint release system 32 to form or release the constraint on the elastic connection unit 4. The constraint promotion system 31 and the constraint release system 32 can simultaneously realize elastic constraint changes in two different directions. At the same time, the two constraint promotion systems 31 and the constraint release system 32 arranged on both sides of the constraint release system 32 can be linked and fed back to each other through the constraint connection part 33. Under the action of external force or external environment, the elastic connection unit 4 between the two adjacent constraint units 3 can have a certain elastic connection energy under the action of external force. Under the constraint of the constraint units 3 respectively connected to the two ends of the elastic connection unit 4, the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 4 can be stored through the constraint formation of the two adjacent constraint units 3; when the two adjacent constraint units 3 connected to the two ends of the elastic connection unit 4 start to release the constraints one after another, the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 4 formed by the constraint of the two adjacent constraint units 3 can be released through the release of the constraint of one of the constraint units 3.
[0054] In this solution, the main medium for realizing elastic energy storage is the elastic connection unit 4, and the restraint promotion system 31 and the restraint release system 32 mainly play the role of switches for energy storage and release.
[0055] In order to achieve the above-mentioned technical effect of acting as a switch for energy storage and release, the specific implementation of this technical solution is as follows:
[0056] When a large force change occurs on the constraint unit 3 in the first direction (such as the connection direction with the elastic connection unit 4), the constraint unit 3 will produce a certain elastic deformation, and at the same time, it will form a corresponding deformation in the second direction (such as the connection direction with the constraint connection part 33) to form or release the external constraint. As the constraints of adjacent constraint units 3 are formed or released step by step one by one, the energy storage or release is gradually carried out with the elastic connection unit 4 as the medium, thereby achieving the effect of making the constraint unit 3 an automatic step-by-step control switch that can automatically store or release energy.
[0057] Specifically, the deconstraint system 32 includes a first limit frame 321 and a first elastic member 322. The first elastic member 322 is located within the first limit frame 321, with both ends of the first elastic member 322 connected to the ends of the first limit frame 321. The restraint promotion system 31 is connected to the first limit frame 321. When the first limit frame 321 is deformed by the restraint promotion system 31, the first elastic member 322 stretches or contracts, thereby forming or releasing external constraints.
[0058] The restraint system 31 includes a second limiting frame 311, a second elastic member 312, and a steering member 313. The second elastic member 312 is located within the second limiting frame 311, with one end of the second elastic member 312 connected to one corner of the second limiting frame 311. The steering member 313 is connected to the other corner of the second limiting frame 311. The elastic connection unit 4 bypasses the steering member 313 and is connected to the other end of the second elastic member 312. The second limiting frame 311 is located within the first limiting frame 321 and is connected to the first limiting frame 321. Both the first elastic member 322 and the second elastic member 312 can be spring-like structures.
[0059] When the pulling force of the elastic connection unit 4 gradually increases, the elastic connection unit 4 will pull the second elastic member 312, thereby causing the second limit frame 311 to be compressed and flattened in the longitudinal direction, and to become longer in the transverse direction and generate an outward thrust on the deconstraint system 32, thereby prompting the deconstraint system 32 to be constrained outward, that is, the longitudinal direction of the first limit frame 321 is compressed, and the transverse direction of the first limit frame 321 is extended, thereby elastically stretching the first elastic member 322, so that the first limit frame 321 forms an external constraint through the constraint connection part 33; when the pulling force of the elastic connection unit 4 gradually decreases, it can generate displacement in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the above-mentioned constraint.
[0060] As another embodiment, the restraint system 31 includes a third limit frame 314, a threaded rod 315 and a rotating member 316. The threaded rod 315 passes through the third limit frame 314. The two end corners of the third limit frame 314 are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 315. The end of the threaded rod 315 is connected to the rotating member 316, and the rotating member 316 is connected to the elastic connection unit 4.
[0061] When the tension of the elastic connection unit 4 gradually increases, the elastic connection unit 4 will pull the rotating member 316 to move, thereby driving the threaded rod 315 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 315 will drive the third limit frame 314 to compress in the longitudinal direction and extend in the transverse direction and generate an outward thrust on the deconstraint system 32, thereby prompting the deconstraint system 32 to be constrained to the outside, that is, the first limit frame 321 will be stretched, and then the first elastic member 322 will be elastically stretched and constrained, so that the first limit frame 321 forms an external constraint through the constraint connection part 33; when the tension of the elastic connection unit 4 gradually decreases, on the contrary, the threaded rod 315 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the above-mentioned constraint.
[0062] It should be noted that the first limiting frame 321, the second limiting frame 311, and the third limiting frame 314 are diamond-shaped in this embodiment, and this structure is not considered a limitation on other shapes and structures. Furthermore, the steering member 313 and the rotating member 316 can limit the change, time, or speed of the elastic constraint at the deconstraint system 32 by restricting the facilitating constraint system 31, thereby limiting the change, time, or speed of the elastic constraint at the constraint unit 3. This can enable the device to switch the storage or release of elastic potential energy and control the time or speed.
[0063] The number of the restraint facilitating systems 31 is an even number and is evenly distributed on both sides of the restraint releasing system 32 .
[0064] The constraint unit 3 also includes a constraint connection part 33, and the number of the constraint connection parts 33 is two. The two constraint connection parts 33 are connected to the two ends of the deconstraint system 32. Specifically, the two constraint connection parts 33 are located at the two ends of the first limit frame 321, and the two ends of the first elastic member 322 are respectively connected to the two constraint connection parts 33; the constraint promotion system 31 located on both sides of the deconstraint system 32 is connected to the two constraint connection parts 33 through the deconstraint system 32, and the two ends of the second limit frame 311 are respectively connected to the two constraint connection parts 33 through the first limit frame 321; or the second limit frame 311 can be directly connected to the constraint connection part 33. The constraint connection part 33 is used to realize the linkage of the two constraint promotion systems 31 on both sides of the constraint release system 32; the characteristic of its structural effect is that it can assist in forming constraints under the joint action of the constraint promotion systems 31 on both sides. In terms of the logic of the constraint formation process, its functional effect is similar to the "AND" gate in logical mathematics; and only under the reverse action of the single-sided constraint promotion system 31, it can assist in gradually releasing the constraints. In terms of the logic of the constraint release process, its functional effect is similar to the "OR" gate in logical mathematics.
[0065] When the constraint on the elastic connection unit 4 is not formed, when the constraint promoting systems 31 on both sides are simultaneously affected by the elastic connection change of the elastic connection unit 4, the second limit frame 311 or the third limit frame 314 in the constraint promoting systems 31 on both sides of the de-constraint system 32 are affected by the elastic connection change of the elastic connection unit 4 or the change of information related to the elastic connection change and deform, thereby generating an outward constraint force on the first limit frame 321, and the constraint force will form an outward constraint on the elastic connection unit 4 through the two constraint connecting parts 33; and when the two adjacent constraint units 3 are elastic After the constraint of the contact unit 4 has been formed, due to the linear structural characteristics of the elastic contact unit 4, the constraint can only be released from one side of a constraint unit 3. The elastic contact unit 4 on one side of the constraint unit 3 produces an elastic connection change or information change related to the elastic connection change that is opposite to the above, thereby driving the second limit frame 311 or the third limit frame 314 on one side to produce a reverse deformation, thereby generating an inward release force on the first limit frame 321. The unilateral release force can gradually release the external constraint of the elastic contact unit 4 through the two constraint connection parts 33.
[0066] When a certain working phase of the device is completed (i.e., when the system switches between energy storage and release), the aforementioned structure can also be used to automatically and step-by-step implement the formation or release of constraints by adjacent constraint units 3 based on the elastic connection changes of elastic connection units 4 or changes in information related to the elastic connection changes. This process is reversible, allowing the system to operate in a continuous cycle. This solves the problem of traditional equipment being unable to regularly control this process, creatively develops a method for storing and utilizing elastic energy, and effectively reduces the difficulty of utilizing elastic energy.
[0067] Energy storage and release process of a positive and negative elastic energy storage and conversion device:
[0068] The middle or end portion of the positive energy body 1 is fixed to one end of the elastic connection unit 4. When the energy conduction unit 7 inputs energy to the positive energy body 1, the elastic connection strength on the elastic connection units 4 on both sides of the first constraint unit 3 will be gradually enhanced. According to the above-mentioned working principle process, the first constraint unit 3 can be gradually made to form an external constraint. The first constraint unit 3 is constrained and fixed by using the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) as the constraint carrier, and the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 4 between the fixed end and the first constraint unit 3 is constrained and stored; then, with the fixed first constraint unit 3 as the fixed end, the elastic connection strength on the elastic connection units 4 on both sides of the second constraint unit 3 is gradually enhanced, based on the According to the above working principle process, the second constraint unit 3 can be gradually constrained by using the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) as the constraint carrier. The second constraint unit 3 is fixed, and the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 4 between the fixed first constraint unit 3 and the second constraint unit 3 is constrained and stored; and so on, then with the fixed second constraint unit 3 as the fixed end, according to the above process, the Nth constraint unit 3 is gradually constrained to form an external constraint, and the elastic energy between multiple adjacent constraint units 3 is constrained and stored, so that the elastic connection unit 4 stores energy by using the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) as the constraint carrier;
[0069] When the energy conduction unit 7 reversely inputs (or absorbs) energy from the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4), its energy release process is opposite to the above-mentioned energy storage step of the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4). First, the external constraint of the last (or the first in the release process) constraint unit 3 is released through the change of elastic connection. The last (or the first in the release process) constraint unit 3 becomes a free end, and the elastic connection unit 4 is constrained between the second constraint unit 3 in the release process and the first constraint unit 3 in the release process. The elastic energy is released. The elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 4 between the second constraint unit 3 in the release process is gradually released, and the elastic connection strength of the elastic connection unit 4 before the second constraint unit 3 in the release process is gradually weakened, thereby gradually prompting the external constraint of the second constraint unit 3 in the release process to be gradually released and become a free end, thereby prompting the elastic energy of the elastic connection unit 4 between the next two adjacent constraint units 3 to be released. Similarly, the Nth constraint unit 3 in the release process is gradually released from external constraints, and the energy of the adjacent elastic connection units 4 is gradually released, thereby allowing the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) to release energy.
[0070] The energy storage and release process of the anti-energy body 2 is the same as that of the positive energy body 1.
[0071] In the above process, the function of the constraint unit 3 is equivalent to an automatic step-by-step control switch that can control the energy storage or release to proceed automatically step by step.
[0072] However, for a running positive-negative elastic energy storage and conversion system, the action states of the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 in the running system are opposite, that is, when the positive energy body 1 is in the energy releasing state, the negative energy body 2 is in the energy storing state; when the positive energy body 1 is in the energy storing state, the negative energy body 2 is in the energy releasing state.
[0073] When the device is used in a general environment, the above structure can be used as a reference. When the device is used in an environment with plasma fluid, such as when its elastic connection system is implemented through an electromagnetic field or plasma flow, the above-mentioned confinement promoting system 31 and the de-constraint system 32 can both be structures capable of generating a magnetic field. The current intensity and the intensity of the generated magnetic field can be adjusted according to the electromagnetic field environment of the surrounding environment to ensure that the above-mentioned confinement effect can be achieved.
[0074] As an optional embodiment, a separation unit 5 is further included. The separation unit 5 can divide the space into at least two different areas. The elastic connection unit 4 can connect the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 located in different areas through the separation unit 5. The separation unit 5 is used to isolate the adjacent positive energy body 1 and negative energy body 2. By arranging them in different spaces or separating them sufficiently far apart, the separation is achieved to prevent them from adversely affecting each other when performing actions opposite to the opposite energy body. In addition, the separation unit 5 does not affect the normal passage and use of the elastic connection unit.
[0075] Specifically, the separation unit 5 can be a space sufficient to separate the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2, or it can be a separation structure with corresponding connection holes (in this case, the elastic connection unit 4 is respectively connected to the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 through the corresponding connection holes).
[0076] In this embodiment, the partition unit 5 includes a transverse boundary extending laterally and a longitudinal boundary extending longitudinally. Both the transverse boundary and the longitudinal boundary are partition spaces. Of course, the partition unit 5 can also be represented by a curved surface or a curve.
[0077] When the horizontal boundary and / or the vertical boundary are provided as a separation membrane / wall with holes, the separation membrane / wall can be a wooden wall, a soil and stone wall, a glass wall, a fiber membrane / wall, a metal membrane / wall, a plasma wall, an electromagnetic field wall, etc. Of course, the separation unit 5 can also be a pipe, a river, a fire wall, etc. arranged along the corresponding direction.
[0078] When the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 have the same direction of rotation, a steering unit 6 needs to be provided to ensure the normal operation of the energy transmission of the elastic connection unit 4 .
[0079] As an optional embodiment, a steering unit 6 is further included. The steering unit 6 is connected to the elastic connection unit 4 and can change the direction of energy transmission of the elastic connection unit 4.
[0080] When the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 have the same direction of rotation, a steering unit 6 needs to be provided to change or adjust the extension direction of the elastic connection unit 4. The steering unit 6 can steer the movement of the elastic connection unit 4 to ensure that the movement of the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 achieved by the steering unit 6 is opposite to that of the opposite energy body, and the system can operate normally. In this embodiment and similar embodiments, the elastic connection unit 4 is an elastic rope, and the corresponding steering unit 6 is a pulley structure. In other embodiments, when the elastic connection unit 4 is light, the steering unit 6 can be two materials of different densities arranged adjacent to each other, such as air and glass, etc., and the propagation direction of light can be adjusted and changed by arranging the materials of different densities to meet the design requirements of the equipment.
[0081] As an optional embodiment, it also includes an energy conduction unit 7 connected to the positive energy body 1 and / or the negative energy body 2. The energy conduction unit 7 can export the energy stored in the device to the outside world for utilization, or convert other forms of external energy and import them into the device for storage. The energy conduction unit 7 includes an energy input / output interface 71 and an energy / information conversion component 72. The energy / information conversion component 72 is connected to the positive energy body 1 or the negative energy body 2 via the energy input / output interface 71. The energy transferred or converted between the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 can be input, output, stored, or converted relative to the device via the energy conduction unit 7.
[0082] The energy input / output interface 71 can direct relevant energy or driving force from the external environment to the connected positive energy body 1 or negative energy body 2; while the energy / information conversion component 72 can convert the external peripheral energy or driving force into energy or driving force that can be transmitted by the energy input / output interface 71, thereby facilitating energy conversion. The energy / information conversion component 72 can convert at least one of light energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, and radiation energy.
[0083] The energy transfer unit 7 also includes an energy / information conversion product 73 with information storage capabilities, which can classify energy states based on the conversion or collection process. For example, the energy / information conversion product 73 can classify energy into several levels, such as -n state...-2 state, -1 state, 0 state, 1 state, 2 state,...n state, etc.
[0084] As an optional embodiment, a strength control mechanism 8 is further included. The strength control mechanism 8 is connected to the elastic connection unit 4 and can control the tension of the elastic connection unit 4 or the connection strength of the elastic force. In one embodiment, the strength control mechanism 8 is provided with a gripping mechanism under a petal-like structure. The strength control mechanism 8 can achieve inward contraction or outward expansion under external force and, in this process, by setting different degrees of gripping tension strength, respectively control the connection strength of the elastic connection force or the gravitational connection strength of the elastic rope (i.e., the elastic connection unit 4) located in the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2, thereby respectively controlling the constraint strength established by the constraint unit 3 on the elastic connection unit 4 on each side of the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 and the energy state level of the related stored energy.
[0085] Depending on the energy environment surrounding each positive energy body 1 or negative energy body 2, the strength control mechanism 8 entering and exiting the positive energy body 1 and negative energy body 2 can be set to different tension levels, thereby controlling whether the positive energy body 1 or negative energy body 2 stores or releases energy. If the gripping strength of the strength control mechanism 8 entering and exiting the positive energy body 1 is higher than the gripping strength of the relevant structure entering and exiting the negative energy body 2, the positive energy body 1 is in a higher energy state. In other words, the strength control mechanism 8 on the positive energy body 1 or negative energy body 2 can control the tension of the elastic rope entering and exiting the positive energy body 1 and negative energy body 2. A higher tension indicates a high-energy state energy storage unit, while a lower tension indicates a low-energy state energy storage unit.
[0086] Under certain energy and external force constraints, since the elastic connection unit 4 controlled by the strength control mechanism 8 can be driven to achieve a certain elastic connection strength for winding, this can be achieved by setting different winding radii. The elastic rope winding radii of the positive energy body 1 and the negative energy body 2 can be set separately according to the energy input or output conditions. Through this system device, the low-energy energy stored in the low-energy energy storage unit can also be transferred to the high-energy energy storage unit. Of course, the winding radius is only a schematic representation based on the schematic diagram in this description. Under different structural environments, the large winding radius and small winding radius in this description can also be achieved through other labor-saving mechanisms (such as pulleys (sets), gears (sets), etc.). All other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0087] As described above, by adjusting the intensity control mechanism 8, the system can store or release the energy / information conversion results 73 with different energy grading states as needed.
[0088] In this embodiment, the energy / information conversion result 73 can store the frequency of energy received or released by the device during operation, control signal information, surrounding environment change information, and even genetic information of living organisms.
[0089] The following is an example of a positive energy body 1 and a negative energy body 2, where the elastic connection unit 4 is wound and unwound, and the energy conduction unit 7 is used to input and output energy and manage energy in a hierarchical manner, and multiple constraint units 3 are used to gradually form constraints or release constraints. In combination with the strength control mechanism 8, a brief description is given of the system operation of the positive and negative elastic energy storage and conversion device, the energy storage and classification, release, transfer or conversion process. Since the system device can freely convert from high to low or from low to high according to different environmental conditions of energy use or energy resource utilization, in particular, the following example illustrates a transfer process from a lower energy level state to a higher energy level state. Technicians in related fields can refer to this description process to obtain other energy conversion processes, which will not be listed one by one. The conversion process is described as follows:
[0090] 1) The middle of the anti-energy body 2 is fixed to one end of the elastic connection unit 4. The constraint unit 3 on the side of the anti-energy body 2 does not constrain the elastic connection unit 4. The strength control mechanism 8 on the side of the anti-energy body 2 does not function. The elastic connection unit 4 is freely wound around the anti-energy body 2.
[0091] 2) The middle portion of the positive energy body 1 is fixed to one end of the elastic connection unit 4. When the energy conduction unit 7 on the positive energy body 1 side inputs energy into the positive energy body 1, in conjunction with the strength control mechanism 8, assuming that the elastic connection strength on both sides of the elastic connection unit 4 of the positive energy body 1 is set to the control strength P1, according to the above process description, the first constraint unit 3 to the Nth constraint unit 3 will automatically wrap around one by one and use the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) as the constraint carrier to perform the energy storage process. Energy is gradually automatically stored in the positive energy body 1 (or the constraint complex of the positive energy body 1 and the elastic connection unit 4) through the energy conduction unit 7 until the elastic connection strength on the rear side of the elastic connection unit 4 reaches P1 (this strength can be achieved by setting control or tightening with the fixed part of the middle portion of the negative energy body 2). The positive energy body wrapping and energy storage process ends; the constraint control strength of the elastic connection unit 4 on the positive energy body 1 side is P1. Next, the elastic connection unit 4 on the positive energy body 1 side will begin the energy release process.
[0092] 3) By establishing an appropriate labor-saving mechanism, such as a pulley set, and through reasonable design, a coordinated energy conduction and drive connection is established between the energy conduction unit 7 on the positive energy body 1 side and the energy conduction unit 7 on the negative energy body 2 side, so that the energy conduction unit 7 on the negative energy body 2 side can combine the energy released by the elastic connection unit 4 on the positive energy body 1 side and the energy available for use by the energy conduction unit 7 on the negative energy body 2 side, and establish a coordinated winding and unwinding connection between the elastic connection unit 4 on the positive energy body 1 side and the elastic connection unit 4 on the negative energy body 2 side;
[0093] 4) The positive energy body 1 begins the unwinding process, releasing the constraints formed by the constraint units 3 on the elastic connection units 4 on the positive energy body 1 side one by one from the Nth to the first, releasing the energy stored therein, and transmitting the energy to the energy conduction units 7 on the anti-energy body 2 side through the energy conduction units 7 on the positive energy body 1 side; so that the energy conduction units 7 on the anti-energy body 2 side can simultaneously utilize the energy continuously released by the elastic connection units 4 on the positive energy body 1 side and the energy inherent in the energy conduction units 7 on the anti-energy body 2 side to input energy into the anti-energy body 2; combined with the strength control mechanism 8 on the anti-energy body 2 side, assuming that the elastic connection strength on both sides of the elastic connection units 4 of the anti-energy body 2 is set to the control strength P2, according to the predetermined system operation conditions, P2>P1, according to the above process description, the first constraint unit 3 on the anti-energy body 2 side to the Nth constraint unit 7 Units 3 will automatically wrap around one by one and perform energy storage through the elastic connection unit 4 with the anti-energy body 2 (or the constraint complex of the anti-energy body 2 and the elastic connection unit 4) as the constraint carrier. The energy combined from both aspects will be gradually and automatically stored in the anti-energy body 2 (or the constraint complex of the anti-energy body 2 and the elastic connection unit 4) through the energy conduction unit 7 and the elastic connection unit 4 on the side of the anti-energy body 2, until the elastic connection unit 4 and the fixed end in the middle of the positive energy body 1 are tightened and the elastic connection strength between the two reaches P2 (this strength can be achieved by setting the elastic connection cooperative control or tightening with the fixed part in the middle of the positive energy body 1). The winding and energy storage process of the anti-energy body 2 is completed, and the unwinding and energy release process of the positive energy body 1 is completed; the constraint control strength of the elastic connection unit 4 on the side of the anti-energy body 2 is P2; the energy state stored in the anti-energy body 2 will be higher than the energy state previously stored in the positive energy body 1.
[0094] 5) The above process can be repeated according to the set demand environment;
[0095] The above process emphasizes that the system device can realize the transfer from a lower energy level state to a higher energy level state. In specific applications, a variety of different energy transfer, conversion, storage or release methods can be realized as needed.
[0096] The energy in different energy states in the positive energy body 1 or the negative energy body 2 can be stored in different energy state levels through the energy / information conversion results 73 of the energy conduction unit 7 as needed. Compared with traditional devices, the positive and negative elastic energy storage and conversion device in the present invention provides a new device for storing and releasing elastic energy. Under the action of the elastic connection unit 4, the device releases or stores energy through the constraint unit 3 and the energy conduction unit 7. The released or stored energy can be input, output or converted into other energy or information results through the energy conduction unit 7 in separate and different energy environments. The above-mentioned constraint unit 3 can realize automatic step-by-step control during the energy transfer process, and the buffer unit 9 can reduce the impact or reduce the fluctuation, making the process more stable and orderly; the energy conduction unit 7 located in the device can convert the corresponding energy or information in the external environment through the energy / information conversion component 72, and realize the energy transfer and conversion process set as needed through the energy input / output interface 71 and the above-mentioned positive energy body 1 or negative energy body 2. The technical solution does not set any restrictions on the energy conduction unit 7, and can adopt a variety of currently achievable energy utilization methods, which helps to expand the energy source and provides an effective implementation path for the expanded application of elastic energy storage, especially for the conversion, transfer, collection and utilization of low-grade energy. This effectively broadens the scope of available energy and provides new ideas and implementation methods for solving the energy crisis and improving energy utilization.

Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
