DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0040] See also Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mechanical core energy storage device, which includes an energy storage mechanism 100, an input mechanism 200 and an output mechanism 300. The energy storage mechanism 100 includes a first winding bobbin group 101, a second winding bobbin group 108 and an elastic wire 117 that can be elastically stretched and contracted, and the two ends of the elastic wire 117 are respectively connected to the first winding bobbin group 101 and the second winding bobbin group 108, and are wound on the first winding bobbin group 101 and / or the second winding bobbin group 108. The first winding spool group 101 is used to wind or release the elastic line 117 in a tensioned state, and the second winding spool group 108 is used to wind or release the elastic line 117 in a relaxed state. When one of the first winding spool group 101 and the second winding spool group 108 winds the elastic line 117, the other releases the elastic line 117. By configuring the winding speed and the unwinding speed of the first winding spool group 101 and the second winding spool group 108, the purpose of tensioning the elastic line 117 for energy storage or contracting the elastic line 117 for energy release can be achieved. Taking the stretching ratio of the elastic line 117 as N as an example, the winding speed of the first winding spool group 101 during energy storage can be N times the unwinding speed of the second winding spool group 108. Optionally, an elastic line 117 can be arranged between the first winding spool group 101 and the second winding spool group 108, or multiple elastic lines 117 can be arranged in parallel.

[0041] The input mechanism 200 includes a first drive device 201, which is in driving connection with the first winding spool group 101 and is used to convert electrical energy into rotational energy to drive the first winding spool group 101 to rotate. Optionally, the first drive device 201 may include a first motor 104. Optionally, the input mechanism 200 may also include a first controller 202 and a charging interface 203, the first controller 202 is connected to the first motor 104 and the charging interface 203 respectively, the charging interface 203 can be used to connect to the mains power supply through a power cord, the first controller 202 is used to receive electrical energy and control the operation of the first motor 104, and the first controller 202 can also be used to convert electrical parameters of electrical energy, such as voltage, current, DC-AC conversion, etc.

[0042] The output mechanism 300 includes a power generation device 301 and a clutch mechanism 306. The power generation device 301 is connected to the first winding bobbin group 101 through the clutch mechanism 306. The clutch mechanism 306 is used to drive and connect the power generation device 301 and the first winding bobbin group 101, or to cut off the connection between the power generation device 301 and the first winding bobbin group 101. During the energy storage process, the clutch mechanism 306 can cut off the connection between the power generation device 301 and the first wire wheel 102, and store energy for the energy storage mechanism 100 through the input mechanism 200. During the energy release process, the power generation device 301 and the first winding bobbin group 101 can be driven and connected through the clutch mechanism 306, so that the first winding bobbin group 101 can drive the power generation device 301 to operate, convert the elastic potential energy into electrical energy, and supply power to the load.

[0043] During the energy storage process, the first driving device 201 drives the first winding spool group 101 to wind the elastic wire 117, and the second winding spool group 108 releases the elastic wire 117. The winding speed of the first winding spool group 101 is greater than the unwinding speed of the second winding spool group 108, so as to tension the elastic wire 117 and convert the rotational energy into elastic potential energy for storage.

[0044] During the energy release process, the first winding spool group 101 is connected to the power generation device 301 through the clutch mechanism 306, the elastic wire 117 contracts and drives the first winding spool group 101 to rotate, so as to drive the power generation device 301 to generate electricity and output electrical energy, and the second winding spool group 108 winds up the elastic wire 117 in a relaxed state.

[0045] The mechanical core energy storage device of the embodiment of the present invention can convert electrical energy into rotational energy through the input mechanism 200, and the energy storage mechanism 100 can convert the rotational energy into the elastic potential energy of the elastic wire 117 for storage. The length of the elastic wire 117 that can be wound by the first winding spool group 101 and the second winding spool group 108 is usually longer, and the elastic wire 117 usually has a larger stretch ratio, so the energy storage capacity of the energy storage mechanism 100 is larger and has a higher energy storage density. In the energy release process, the second winding spool group 108 gradually winds up the elastic wire 117 in a relaxed state and the first winding spool group 101 gradually releases the elastic wire 117 in a tensioned state. When the elastic wire 117 contracts and drives the first winding spool group 101 to rotate, thereby driving the power generation device 301 to generate electricity, the power generation device 301 can be driven to generate electricity continuously and stably within a certain time range, and the output power is stable.

[0046] Cooperate Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the first winding spool group 101 includes a first wire wheel 102 and a locking mechanism 103, wherein the first wire wheel 102 is used to wind the elastic wire 117 in a tensioned state, and the locking mechanism 103 is used to lock the first wire wheel 102 to limit the rotation of the first wire wheel 102. After the energy storage is completed, substantially the entire elastic wire 117 is wound on the first wire wheel 102, and then the first wire wheel 102 can be locked by the locking mechanism 103 to prevent the first wire wheel 102 from releasing elastic potential energy in an uncontrolled manner. Of course, during the energy storage process, if it is impossible to continue to store energy, the first wire wheel 102 can also be locked by the locking mechanism 103 to prevent the elastic potential energy from being released.

[0047] Optionally, a first identification portion 118 may be provided at the end of the elastic wire 117 near the end where the elastic wire 117 is connected to the second winding spool group 108. The locking mechanism 103 may include a first motor 104, a telescopic rod 105 and a sensor 106. The sensor 106 is provided near the second winding spool group 108, and is used to send a signal to the first motor 104 after detecting that the line segment where the first identification portion 118 is located is released from the second winding spool group 108. The telescopic rod 105 is provided at a position near the rim of the first wire wheel 102, and one end of the telescopic rod 105 is facing the rim of the first wire wheel 102. The first motor 104 is transmission-connected to the telescopic rod 105. When the first motor 104 receives the signal, it controls the telescopic rod 105 to extend toward the rim of the first wire wheel 102 and press against the rim of the first wire wheel 102 to lock the first wire wheel 102 and limit the rotation of the first wire wheel 102.

[0048] Optionally, a pressure plate 107 may be provided at the end of the telescopic rod 105 opposite to the first wire wheel 102, and the telescopic rod 105 may be pressed against the rim of the first wire wheel 102 through the pressure plate 107. The shape of the pressure plate 107 may correspond to the shape of the rim of the first wire wheel 102, and the side of the pressure plate 107 connected to the rim of the first wire wheel 102 may also be provided with, for example, friction patterns.

[0049] Optionally, the first identification portion 118 may be an identification line of a different color, and the sensor 106 may be, for example, an image acquisition device, and when the image acquisition device recognizes that the identification line is released by the second wire wheel 109, a signal is sent to the first motor 104. Of course, the first identification portion 118 may also be, for example, a magnetic body or a bump, and correspondingly, the sensor 106 may be, for example, a Hall sensor 106 or a micro switch.

[0050] It should be noted that the above-mentioned locking mechanism 103 is only an exemplary implementation method. In a specific embodiment, the purpose of locking the first wire wheel 102 can also be achieved by, for example, interlocking with the first wire wheel 102 or locking the first wire wheel 102.

[0051] Cooperate Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the second winding spool group 108 may include a second wheel 109, a second driving device 110 and a limiting mechanism 111, the second wheel 109 is used to wind or release the elastic line 117 in a relaxed state; the second driving device 110 may include, for example, a second motor, and the second motor may be transmission-connected to the second wheel 109, and is used to drive the second wheel 109 to rotate so as to wind the elastic line 117 in a relaxed state; the limiting mechanism 111 is connected to the second wheel 109, and the limiting mechanism 111 is constructed as follows: when the torque generated by the second wheel 109 is greater than the first torque, the second wheel 109 is allowed to rotate and release the elastic line 117, and when the torque generated by the second wheel 109 is less than the first torque, the second wheel 109 is limited from rotating.

[0052] During the energy storage process, the first winding spool group 101 winds the elastic line 117, and the elastic line 117 is gradually stretched from a relaxed state to a tensioned state. During this process, the tension applied by the elastic line 117 to the second wheel 109 gradually increases, and the torque generated by the second wheel 109 also gradually increases. When the torque generated by the second wheel 109 is less than the first torque, it indicates that the elastic line 117 has not been fully stretched to the tensioned state. The second wheel 109 is restricted from rotating by the limiting mechanism 111, so that the first winding spool group 101 continues to stretch the elastic line 117 for energy storage. When the torque generated by the second wheel 109 is greater than the first torque, it indicates that the elastic line 117 has been stretched to the tensioned state. Continuing to stretch may exceed the bearing limit of the elastic line 117, and the restriction of the limiting mechanism 111 on the second wheel 109 is released, allowing the second wheel 109 to rotate and release the elastic line 117. Afterwards, the tension applied by the elastic wire 117 to the second wire wheel 109 is reduced, and the limiting mechanism 111 may limit the rotation of the second wire wheel 109 again.

[0053] In this way, during the energy storage process, the winding speed of the first winding spool group 101 can be greater than the unwinding speed of the second winding spool group 108, stretching the elastic wire 117, thereby achieving the purpose of converting the rotational energy of the first winding spool group 101 into elastic potential energy of the elastic wire 117 for storage.

[0054] Optionally, the sizes of the first wire wheel 102 and the second wire wheel 109 may be the same or different, and the axes of the first wire wheel 102 and the second wire wheel 109 may be arranged parallel to each other. Of course, the axes of the first wire wheel 102 and the second wire wheel 109 may also be non-parallel to each other.

[0055] Cooperate Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 111 includes a first gear 112 and an elastic arm 113, the first gear 112 is transmission-connected to the second pulley 109, and one end of the elastic arm 113 extends into the tooth groove of the first gear 112; the elastic arm 113 is constructed as follows: when the torque generated by the first gear 112 is greater than the second torque, it is deformed and disengaged from the tooth groove of the first gear 112 to allow the first gear 112 and the second pulley 109 to rotate; when the torque generated by the first gear 112 is less than or equal to the second torque, it stops the first gear 112 to limit the rotation of the second pulley 109.

[0056] Optionally, the first gear 112 can be arranged coaxially with the second pulley 109, the elastic arm 113 can be arranged along the radial direction of the first gear 112, one end of the elastic arm 113 can extend into the wheel groove of the first gear 112, and the other end of the elastic arm 113 can be fixed on, for example, a machine body or a bracket, and the other end of the elastic arm 113 can also be rotatably connected to the machine body or the bracket.

[0057] During the energy storage process, as the elastic line 117 is gradually tightened, the torque generated by the second wire wheel 109 gradually increases, and the torque generated by the first gear 112 connected thereto also gradually increases. The thrust force applied by the first gear 112 to one end of the elastic arm 113 gradually increases, and the deformation of the elastic arm 113 gradually increases, until the other end of the elastic arm 113 is disengaged from the tooth groove of the first gear 112 due to the excessive deformation, and the restriction on the first gear 112 and the second wire wheel 109 is released, and the second wire wheel 109 starts to release the wire. When the first gear 112 rotates a certain angle, the elastic arm 113 is reset, and one end thereof re-extends into the wheel groove of the first gear 112. Optionally, the elastic arm 113 can be a spring sheet, and a roller 114 can be set at one end of the elastic arm 113 to facilitate one end of the elastic arm 113 to slide out of the wheel groove of the first gear 112, so as to avoid the elastic arm 113 and the first gear 112 from getting stuck to each other and reducing friction.

[0058] In some embodiments, the elastic arm 113 is constructed to be able to rotate around the rotation center at its other end, and a first stop component 115 and a second stop component 116 are respectively provided on the rotation path of the elastic arm 113; the first stop component 115 is located in one rotation direction of the elastic arm 113, and is used to limit the rotation angle of the elastic arm 113 in the rotation direction, so as to limit the elastic arm 113 from rotating out of the tooth groove of the first gear 112 when the second wire wheel 109 releases the elastic wire 117 and drives the first gear 112 to rotate; the second stop component 116 is located in the other rotation direction of the elastic arm 113, and is used to limit the rotation angle of the elastic arm 113 in the other rotation direction, so as to allow the elastic arm 113 to rotate out of the tooth groove of the first gear 112 when the second wire wheel 109 winds the elastic wire 117 and drives the first gear 112 to rotate.

[0059] During the energy storage process, the first stop component 115 can limit the elastic arm 113 from rotating in one rotation direction, so that the elastic arm 113 can limit the rotation speed of the second wire wheel 109, thereby achieving the purpose of stretching the elastic line 117 to store energy. During the energy release process, the second stop component 116 allows the elastic arm 113 to rotate in the other rotation direction within a certain rotation angle range, thereby avoiding limiting the rotation of the second wire wheel 109 and preventing the elastic arm 113 from excessively rotating away from the first gear 112.

[0060] It should be noted that the above-mentioned limiting mechanism 111 is only an exemplary implementation method. In specific implementation, the pay-off speed of the second wire wheel 109 can also be limited by means of, for example, damping or torque detection, so as to achieve the purpose of tensioning the elastic wire 117 for energy storage.

[0061] In some embodiments, the output mechanism 300 further includes a transformer circuit 314, which is connected to the power generation device 301 and is used to adjust the power parameters of the electric energy output by the power generation device 301. Optionally, the transformer circuit 314 can be used to transform, stabilize, rectify, convert DC to AC, etc. the electric energy output by the power generation device 301.

[0062] Optionally, the power conversion circuit 314 is connected to the second drive device 110 to supply power to the second drive device 110. In this way, during the energy release process, self-power can be achieved without relying on an external power supply. Optionally, the output mechanism 300 may also include a second controller 315 and an output interface 316, the power conversion circuit 314 may be connected to the second drive device 110 through the second controller 315, the second controller 315 may also be connected to the output interface 316, the output interface 316 is used to connect to a load, and the second controller 315 is used to control the output of electric energy.

[0063] Cooperate Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the clutch mechanism 306 includes a first rotating member 307, a second rotating member 308 and a moving mechanism 309.
