Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of machinery, in particular to a gravity air compression mechanism and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Energy recovery is to convert the wasted energy forms that cannot be stored and reused, such as heat energy, mechanical energy, light energy, etc., into electrical energy for storage and reuse. For example, solar energy recovery, vehicle vibration energy recovery, geothermal energy recovery, etc. Energy recovery is a very good topic. Making full use of energy and reducing carbon emissions are conducive to sustainable development. The so-called new energy is a concept that is created to distinguish traditional fossil energy. New energy vehicles are currently mainly divided into several categories, such as pure electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell. With the promotion of concepts and policy support, new energy vehicles have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the automotive market. The energy recovery system of new energy vehicles collects and stores the energy that would have been wasted during braking, and releases it at the appropriate time. The energy recovery system is surprisingly applicable to new energy models other than fuel cells. As we all know, the biggest advantage of new energy vehicles is that they use electrical energy instead of traditional internal energy. However, the biggest problem encountered by new energy vehicles in actual use is charging. Charging cannot be as fast and convenient as refueling, so enhancing the utilization rate of electrical energy is a very important auxiliary technology. Although converting the "overflowing" mechanical energy into electrical energy cannot fundamentally solve the problem of charging, it is still very practical because the utilization rate has been greatly improved and the number of charging times can be reduced to a certain extent, especially in hybrid models. At present, energy recovery mainly recovers energy when braking downhill, and its form is limited. Energy recovery in other aspects of vehicle driving has not received much attention.

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below through embodiments. Example

[0040] A gravity air compression mechanism, comprising a first one-way air valve 1, a second one-way air valve 2, a ring body 3, a disc 4, a plurality of cylinder barrels 5, and a piston 6 and a piston rod 7 matched with each cylinder barrel;

[0041] A plurality of cylinders 5 are evenly distributed and fixed on the ring body 3 in a radial shape, and the mouth of each cylinder 5 faces the center of the ring body 3. A piston 6 is installed in the cylinder 5. One end of a piston rod 7 is connected to the piston 6 through a revolving pair, and the other end of the piston rod 7 is connected to a disc 4 through a revolving pair. The disc 4 is located in the ring body 3.

[0042] A first one-way air valve 1 is provided at the bottom of each cylinder 5, and a second one-way air valve 2 is provided at the top of each piston 6.

[0043] The inlet of each first one-way air valve 1 is located in the cylinder 5, and the outlet of each first one-way air valve 1 is connected to the first air channel 8.

[0044] The inlet of each second one-way air valve 2 is communicated with the ambient atmosphere, and the outlet of each second one-way air valve 2 is located inside the cylinder 5 .

[0045] The disc 4 always points vertically downward due to gravity. The gravity of the disc 4 is transmitted through the piston rod 7, so that the piston 6 located below the disc 4 moves from the mouth of the cylinder 5 to the bottom of the cylinder. During the movement, the air pressure in the cylinder 5 increases, and the gas in the cylinder 5 is discharged from the first one-way valve 1 into the first air channel 8. At the same time, the piston 6 located above the disc 4 is pulled by the piston rod 7, and the piston 6 moves from the bottom of the cylinder to the mouth of the cylinder, and the air pressure in the cylinder 5 decreases, and the air in the environment enters the cylinder 5 through the second one-way valve 2. When the ring body 3 rolls forward at different times, each cylinder 5 continuously and cyclically inhales air from the environment and then discharges the air into the air channel 8, and the air flows along the air channel 8 to the load for energy conversion or utilization.

[0046] Further, it comprises a frame 10, an axle, a wheel and a first bearing 30,

[0047] The wheel is the ring body 3, the inner ring of the first bearing 30 is fixedly connected to the ring body 3, and the outer ring of the first bearing 30 is fixed on the frame 10.

[0048] The axle includes a left U-shaped fork 12, a left shaft 13, a right shaft 14, a right U-shaped fork 15, a connecting tube 16, a second bearing 17 and a third bearing 18.

[0049] The top of the left U-shaped fork 12 is fixed on the left ring body 3, the bottom of the left U-shaped fork 12 is fixed to one end of the left shaft 13, the inner ring of the second bearing 17 is fixed to the other end of the left shaft 13, the outer ring of the second bearing 17 is fixed to one end of the connecting tube 16, the outer ring of the third bearing 18 is fixed to the other end of the connecting tube 16, the inner ring of the third bearing 18 is fixed to one end of the right shaft 14, the other end of the right shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right U-shaped fork 15, and the top of the right U-shaped fork 15 is fixedly connected to the right ring body 3.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes an air pipe 19, a left rotary joint 20, a right rotary joint 21 and a three-way pipe 22.

[0051] One end of the air pipe 19 is connected to the outlet of the first airway, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the second airway. The second airway is provided in both the left shaft 13 and the right shaft 14.

[0052] The rotating part of the left rotary joint 20 is installed at the second airway outlet of the left shaft, and the fixed part of the left rotary joint 20 is installed at the first end of the three-way pipe 22.

[0053] The rotating part of the right rotary joint 21 is installed at the second airway outlet of the right shaft, and the fixed part of the right rotary joint 21 is installed at the second end of the three-way pipe 22.

[0054] The third end of the three-way pipe 22 is the main air outlet.

[0055] In a complete embodiment of a vehicle, there are four wheels on a frame 10, and the four wheels are symmetrically arranged in two rows, the front wheels are divided into two left and right wheels, and the rear wheels are also divided into two left and right wheels. Taking the two front wheels as an example, the left and right front wheels are respectively provided with the gravity air compression mechanism, and the ring body 3 in the gravity air compression mechanism is the wheel, and the ring body 3 directly contacts the ground and rolls. Since the wheel is annular and the middle is empty, the axle cannot be directly connected to the center of the ring body, so a U-shaped fork is designed to connect the ring body 3 and the axle 10. The top of the U-shaped fork has two connection points, which can be connected to the ring body 3 with balanced force. The first air duct 8 on the ring body 3 is connected to the axle through the air pipe 19, and then discharged from the other end of the axle axis. Since the axle is continuously rotating with the ring body 3, the second air duct outlet on the axle is also continuously rotating. In order to keep the position of the exhaust port unchanged, the present invention divides the axle into two sections, and the left axle 13 and the right axle 14 are connected by a rotating joint and a three-way pipe 22. When the rotating part of the rotary joint rotates with the axle, the fixed part of the rotary joint and the three-way pipe 22 are stationary, so that the position of the third end of the three-way pipe 22 remains unchanged, thereby obtaining a relatively static gas outlet.

[0056] Furthermore, it also includes a first cross body 23, a first universal joint body 24, a second cross body 25, a second universal joint body 26 and a third cross body 27.

[0057] The first cross body 23 is installed between the disk 4 and the first universal joint body 24 through a pair of hinges with a relative orientation of 90 degrees.

[0058] The second cross body 25 is installed between the first universal joint body 24 and the second universal joint body 26 through a pair of hinges with a relative orientation of 90 degrees.

[0059] The third cross body 27 is installed between the second universal joint body 26 and the axle through a pair of hinges with relative orientation of 90 degrees.

[0060] Further, the first universal joint body 24 and the second universal joint body 26 are telescopic rods. For example, the first universal joint body 24 includes a telescopic rod cylinder 24a and a telescopic rod core 24b. In order to stabilize the position of the disc 4, the present invention also designs a universal joint mechanism to connect the disc 4 to the axle.

[0061] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting rod 11, one end of the connecting rod 11 is fixed on the connecting pipe 16, and the other end is fixed on the frame 10. The connecting rod 11 fixes the position of the three-way pipe 22.

[0062] Furthermore, it also includes a guide rod 28, a slider 29 and a connecting column 33.

[0063] The slider 29 is provided with a first through hole 31 and a second through hole 32. The axial directions of the guide rod 28 and the first through hole 31 are both vertically downward, and the axial direction of the second through hole 32 is horizontal. The slider 29 is mounted on the guide rod 28 through the through holes.

[0064] One end of the connecting post 33 is fixed on the disc 4, and the other end of the connecting post 33 is tightly fitted in the second through hole.

[0065] The axial directions of the guide rod 28 and the first through hole 31 are both vertically downward, and the cooperation between the guide rod 28 and the first through hole 31 enables the slider to always move up and down in the vertical direction. One end of the connecting column 33 is fixed on the disk 4, and the connecting column 33 and the disk 4 are coaxial, so the connecting column 33 and the disk 4 move along the same axial direction, and the other end of the connecting column 33 is tightly fitted in the second through hole 32. The disk also always moves up and down in the vertical direction, which increases stability.
