Upward water delivery device

Abstract

The upward water conveying device proposed by the present invention utilizes that when air descends in a water container, it is compressed by the gravity of water and its volume is reduced, so that the water level of the water container is lowered, and water from a water source flows into the water container through a water inlet pipe. When air rises at the bottom of the water container, its volume expands, so that the water level of the water container rises, and water flows out from a drain pipe higher than the water inlet pipe. This upward water conveying method is simple and energy-saving, and can be used in places where continuous upward water conveying is required.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of basic physics and physical chemistry, and proposes a device for conveying water upwards, which enables air to reciprocate up and down in a water container, and utilizes the periodic compression and expansion of the air volume to achieve the purpose of conveying water upwards. Background Art

[0002] Water is the largest liquid resource on earth. Under the action of gravity, water is dispersed on the surface of the earth for use. Due to the needs of development and survival, human beings widely need water to flow from low places to high places to realize various human production activities, such as agricultural irrigation.

[0003] The upward flow of water is a natural phenomenon of tides. The seawater at the seashore will periodically flow to higher places above the coast. This is due to the influence of the moon's gravity on the earth. This tidal flow has a wide surface, slow movement speed, long flow time, and limited height difference, which is not easy to be widely and generally used by humans.

[0004] The way to artificially make water flow upward is to use a water pump to pump water. The water pump has a complex structure, and the water pump runs for a long time, the various parts wear out, the maintenance workload increases, and the amount of water pumped is limited relative to the tidal flow.

[0005] According to Boyle's law, when gas is compressed under the action of force, its volume decreases and its internal energy increases. Conversely, when gas expands, it releases internal energy and its volume increases. This patent proposes an upward water delivery device, which allows air to move up and down in water reciprocatingly, and uses the volume of air to be compressed and expanded periodically to achieve the purpose of continuous upward water delivery, serving the production and life needs of human beings. Summary of the invention

[0006] The method of conveying water upward of the present invention is as follows: air is placed in a water container to directly contact water, an inlet pipe and a drain pipe are connected to the upper end of the water container, the position of the drain pipe is higher than the position of the inlet pipe, and the inlet pipe is connected to a water source outside the water container. When the air descends in the water in the water container, as the depth of the air descends into the water increases, the gravity pressure of the water continues to increase, compressing the air so that its volume continues to shrink, causing the water level in the water container to decrease as the volume of the air decreases, and water from an external water source enters the water container through the inlet pipe of the water container, so that the water level of the water container and the water level of the water source maintain the same height, until the air descends to the bottom of the water container and no longer moves, at which time the water from the water source no longer enters the air container from the inlet pipe. Close the water inlet pipe of the air container, and let the air start to move upward from the bottom of the water container. As the air moves upward, the depth of the water continues to decrease, and the gravity pressure of the water on the air continues to decrease. The volume of the air begins to expand continuously during the rising process, causing the water level in the water container to slowly rise until it reaches the height of the drain pipe and is directly discharged from the water container. After the air rises to the upper part of the water container, open the valve of the water inlet pipe, and let the air move downward in the water container and be compressed by the gravity of the water, and the water from the water source enters the water container again. This cycle repeats, relying on the periodic compression and expansion of the air in the water container, so that the water in the water source periodically enters the water container from the water inlet pipe and is discharged from the water container from the drain pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of transporting water from a low place to a high place.

[0007] The upward water conveying device of the present invention is composed of a water container, an air storage barrel, an inner counterweight, an outer counterweight, a connecting line, a motor, a pulley, a water source, etc.; its characteristics are that the water container is filled with water and is placed upright up and down, the lower end of the water container is closed and the upper end is open to the atmosphere, the upper end of the water container is connected to a water inlet pipe and a drain pipe with a valve installed, the position of the drain pipe is higher than the water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the water source; the air storage barrel is placed in the water container, the inner counterweight is placed on the air storage barrel and connected together; the outer counterweight is placed outside the water container, and the connecting line connects the inner counterweight to the air storage barrel and the outer counterweight through a pulley and a motor wheel.

[0008] The upward water conveying device of the present invention is characterized in that the air storage barrel is a container containing air with an opening downward, which is placed in the water in the water container, and the air storage barrel controls the descending and ascending movement of the air in the water. The air storage barrel descends in the water in the water container, and the air passively descends in the water with the air storage barrel. The air storage barrel rises in the water, and the air rises in the water together with the air storage barrel. The air is compressed and spontaneously expanded in the space inside the air storage barrel.

[0009] The water directly contacts the air in the air barrel from the lower opening of the air barrel and interacts with the air in the air barrel. As the depth of the air barrel in the water increases, the gravity pressure of the water increases and is greater than the pressure of the air in the air barrel. Water continues to enter the air barrel from the lower opening of the air barrel, compressing the air in the air barrel and reducing the volume of the air in the air barrel. When the air barrel rises in the water, as the depth of the air barrel in the water decreases, the gravity pressure of the water on the air in the air barrel decreases. The air pressure in the air barrel is greater than the gravity pressure of the water. The air continues to expand spontaneously and its volume increases. The air is periodically compressed and spontaneously expanded in the space in the air barrel.

[0010] The upward water transporting device of the present invention is characterized in that the internal counterweight body is used to adjust the gravity acting on the air storage barrel, and the sum of the gravity of the internal counterweight body and the gravity of the air storage barrel is greater than the buoyancy of the internal counterweight body and the air storage barrel in water, so that the air storage barrel can enter the water in the water container and move downward. The difference between the gravity of the internal counterweight body and the air storage barrel and the buoyancy of the internal counterweight body and the air storage barrel in water is the force acting on the air storage barrel to move downward in the water. Increasing or decreasing the gravity of the internal counterweight body can adjust the force acting on the downward movement.

[0011] The upward water conveying device of the present invention is characterized in that when the internal counterweight body and the air storage barrel move downward in the water in the water container, the water level in the water container drops, and the water in the water source flows into the water container through the water inlet pipe; when the internal counterweight body and the air storage barrel move upward from the bottom of the water container, the water level in the water container rises, and the water is discharged from the water container through the drain pipe.

[0012] As the internal counterweight and the air storage barrel move underwater in the water container, the water inlet pipe valve opens. As the water depth increases as the internal counterweight moves downward in the water, the water's gravity pressure continues to increase, compressing the air in the air storage barrel so that its volume continues to shrink. The water level in the water container decreases due to the reduction in the volume of air in the air storage barrel, and the water from the water source flows into the water container through the water inlet pipe. The water levels of the water container and the water source remain consistent as the air storage barrel moves downward.

[0013] The air tank is lowered to the bottom of the water container, the valve of the water inlet pipe is closed, and the motor power is started. The power of the motor wheel rotating in the forward direction drives the connecting line to apply an upward pulling force to the internal counterweight and the air tank through the pulley, so that it moves upward from the water. In the process of rising, as the depth of the air tank in the water continues to decrease, the gravity pressure of the water on the air in the air tank continues to decrease, the pressure of the air in the air tank is greater than the gravity pressure of the water, the volume of the air in the air tank continues to expand and increase, the water level in the water container continues to rise, and the water level rises to the height of the drain pipe and continues to be discharged from the water container until the air tank rises to the top of the water container, the valve of the water inlet pipe is opened, the power is turned off, and the motor stops running. The upward pulling force of the internal counterweight and the air tank disappears, and they start to move downward under their original downward movement force, and the cycle is repeated, so that water is transported from a low place to a high place.

[0014] The device for conveying water upwards of the present invention is characterized in that the external counterweight is a gravity object connected together, and the external counterweight object rises or falls in sequence under the connection and drive of the connecting line. The external counterweight can be a combination of solid objects connected together by the connecting line, or a section of a closed flexible pipe containing liquid or a mixture with solid particulate matter. The external counterweight is to balance and stabilize the force of the gas storage barrel during the downward movement in the water, so that it remains within a constant range.

[0015] The specific operation process is as follows: when the inner counterweight and the air storage barrel are moving downward in the water container, the power supply of the motor is turned off, and the connecting line can drive the motor's wheel to rotate in the opposite direction. As the depth of the downward moving water increases, the gravity pressure of the water also increases, the air in the air storage barrel is compressed by the gravity of the water, the volume of the air gradually decreases, and the buoyancy of the air in the water gradually decreases, while the volume of the inner counterweight and the air storage barrel in the water will not change, and the sum of the gravity in the water will not change, so that the force of the inner counterweight and the air storage barrel moving downward in the water will gradually increase, and the increased force of the downward movement drives the outer counterweight to rise through the connecting line, the pulley and the motor wheel, reducing the force of the air storage barrel moving downward in the water, so as to balance and stabilize the change of the force of the air storage barrel in the process of moving downward in the water, so that it remains within a constant range.

[0016] If no external counterweight is configured, the force of the air tank descending in the water will increase as the depth of the water increases. The purpose of setting and configuring the external counterweight is to keep the force of the air tank descending in the water within a minimum constant range, so that when the internal counterweight and the air tank move upward from the water, the pulling force required for upward movement is minimized.

[0017] The air storage barrel moves upward, the water inlet valve is closed, the motor power is started, and the power of the motor wheel drives the connecting line through the pulley to pull the inner counterweight and the air storage barrel upward in the water. The outer counterweight connected by the connecting line moves downward naturally under its own gravity. As the inner counterweight and the air storage barrel move upward in the water, the depth of the water decreases and the gravity pressure of the water gradually decreases. The air pressure in the air storage barrel is greater than the gravity pressure of the water. The air in the air storage barrel continues to expand and increase in volume, causing the water level in the air container to rise. When the water level rises to the position of the drain pipe, it is continuously discharged from the water container.

[0018] The operation process of the upward water conveying device of the present invention is as follows:

[0019] The water container is placed upright up and down, and the water inlet pipe of the water container is opened to connect with the external water source, and the water in the water source flows into the water container from the water inlet pipe. The air storage barrel with the opening facing downward is placed in the water container. Under the buoyancy of the air in the air storage barrel, the air storage barrel initially floats on the water surface, and the inner counterweight is gradually placed and fixedly connected to the air storage barrel, so that the air storage barrel is completely immersed in the water and floats in the water. The outer counterweight is placed statically on the support platform outside the water container, and its gravity acts completely on the support platform. The inner counterweight floating in the water container and the air storage barrel are connected to the outer counterweight statically placed on the support platform through a connecting line via a pulley and a motor wheel.

[0020] Open the valve of the water inlet pipe and continue to increase the number of internal weights on the air storage barrel until the sum of the gravity of the internal weights and the air storage barrel is greater than the buoyancy of the internal weights and the air storage barrel in the water, so that the air storage barrel moves downward in the water. In this process, the water compresses the air in the air storage barrel. The water enters the air storage barrel from the opening at the lower end of the air storage barrel to compress the air. During the air storage barrel's descent in the water, the motor power supply is not turned on, and the motor's wheel reverses under the drive of the connecting line.

[0021] As the air tank descends deeper into the water, the gravity pressure of the water increases, the air in the air tank is compressed by the increased gravity of the water, the volume decreases, and the buoyancy in the water decreases. The gravity of the inner counterweight and the air tank and their buoyancy in the water remain unchanged, and the buoyancy of the air decreases, which increases the downward force of the inner counterweight and the air tank. The increased downward force drives the outer counterweight to rise through the connecting line, the pulley and the motor wheel. The gravity of the rising outer counterweight balances the force of the air tank to increase the downward movement, so that the downward force of the inner counterweight and the air tank is always kept within the minimum constant range during the downward movement of the inner counterweight and the air tank in the water.

[0022] As the air storage barrel descends in the water of the water container, the water level in the water container drops, and water from the external water source spontaneously flows into the water container through the water inlet pipe under the action of gravity, so that the water level in the water container always maintains a consistent height with the water level of the external water source, until the air storage barrel descends to the bottom of the water container and stops moving, water no longer enters the air storage barrel, the air pressure in the air storage barrel reaches the maximum, and the air volume is compressed to the minimum.

[0023] The air storage barrel is lowered to the bottom of the water container, the valve of the water inlet pipe is closed, and the motor power is started. The power of the motor wheel drives the connecting line to pull the inner counterweight body and the air storage barrel upward in the water through the pulley, and the outer counterweight body connected by the connecting line moves downward under its own gravity. In the process of the inner counterweight body and the air storage barrel rising in the water, the depth of the water gradually decreases, and the gravity pressure of the water also gradually decreases. The air pressure in the air storage barrel is greater than the gravity pressure of the water in the water container. The air in the air storage barrel expands and its volume increases, so that the water level in the air container rises. When the water level rises to the position of the drain pipe of the water container, it is continuously discharged from the water container. After the air storage barrel continues to rise to the water level surface at the top of the water container, the motor power is turned off, and the pulling force of the air storage barrel and the inner counterweight body to move upward is terminated. Under the force of the downward movement, the air storage barrel and the inner counterweight body start a new round of downward movement in the water. This cycle is repeated to achieve the purpose of transporting water from a low place to a high place. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the connection of various components of the upward water transport device, which consists of a water container 1 connected to a water inlet pipe 6 and a drain pipe 7 with a valve installed, an air storage tank 2, an inner counterweight 4, an outer counterweight 12, a connecting line 11, a motor 9, a pulley 1 8, a pulley 2 10, a water source 5, a supporting platform 13, etc.

[0033] When the upward water conveying device of the present invention starts to operate, Figure 1 As shown, first open the valve of the water inlet pipe 6, and the water from the water source 5 flows into the water container 1. After the water level in the water container 1 is level with the water level of the water source 5, the water stops flowing.

[0034] Put the gas barrel 2 with the opening facing downward into the water of the water container 1, and water enters from the lower opening of the gas barrel 2 to compress the air 3 therein. The air 3 in the gas barrel 2 has buoyancy in the water, and the gas barrel 2 initially floats on the water surface. The internal counterweights 4 are added one by one and placed and connected to the upper top of the gas barrel 2, so that the gas barrel 2 is immersed in the water. The internal counterweights 4 are a collection of objects with small gravity. When the internal counterweights 4 and the gas barrel 2 float on the water surface in the water container 1, the gas barrel 2 and the added internal counterweights 4 are connected together with the connecting wire 11, and then the connecting wire 11 is connected to the rotating wheel of the motor 9 through the pulley 1 8 and the pulley 2 10 and the external counterweight 12. When the gas barrel 2 descends, the motor power is turned off, and the connecting wire 11 can drive the rotating wheel of the motor 9 to rotate.

[0035] Then, continue to add an internal counterweight 4 to the gas barrel 2 to increase the gravity, so that the sum of the gravity of the internal counterweight 4 and the gravity of the gas barrel 2 is greater than the buoyancy of the internal counterweight 4 and the air 3 in the gas barrel 2 in the water. The difference between the gravity and the buoyancy is the force that causes the gas barrel 2 to move downward, and this force causes the gas barrel 2 to move downward in the water in the water container 1.

[0036] As the air storage barrel 2 moves downward in the water, the depth gradually increases, and the gravity pressure of the water gradually increases. The air 3 is compressed by the gravity of the water and its volume gradually decreases. Because the volume of the air 3 decreases, the water level at the upper end of the water container 1 drops, and the water in the water source 5 enters the water container 1 through the water inlet pipe 6. The water level of the water container 1 is always consistent with the water level of the water source 5.

[0037] The volume of air 3 decreases, so that its buoyancy in water also decreases, while the gravity of the inner counterweight 4 and the air tank 2 in water remains unchanged, so that the difference between gravity and buoyancy becomes larger, and the force of downward movement increases. This increased force of downward movement drives the outer counterweight 12 to rise in sequence through the connecting line 11, the pulley 1 8, the rotating wheel of the motor 9 and the pulley 2 10 and is placed in the air. The force of the inner counterweight 4 and the air tank 2 moving downward in water is always consistent or within a certain range. The outer counterweight 12 is also a collection of objects with small gravity, such as Figure 2shown.

[0038] The air storage barrel 2 continues to descend to the bottom of the water container 1 and stops moving. Water no longer enters the air storage barrel 2. The pressure of the air 3 in the air storage barrel reaches the maximum, and the volume is compressed to the minimum. The rising external counterweight 12 rises in the air under the connection of the connecting line 11. Figure 3 shown.

[0039] When the gas storage barrel 2 moves upward from the bottom of the water container 1, the water inlet pipe 6 is closed, the power supply of the motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 rotates forward to drive the connecting line 11 to apply an upward pulling force to the inner counterweight 4 and the gas storage barrel 2 through the pulley 8, so that the inner counterweight 4 and the gas storage barrel 2 move upward from the bottom of the water. During the rising process of the gas storage barrel 2 and the inner counterweight 4, the outer counterweight 12 continues to descend to the supporting platform 13.

[0040] As the air storage barrel 2 rises, the depth of the water continues to decrease, and the gravity pressure of the water on the air 3 in the air storage barrel 2 continues to decrease. The pressure of the air 3 is greater than the gravity pressure of the water, and the volume of the air 3 in the air storage barrel 2 continues to expand. The water in the air storage barrel 2 is continuously discharged from the lower opening into the water container 1 by the volume expansion pressure of the air 3, causing the water level in the water container 1 to continue to rise. After rising to the height of the drain pipe 7, it continues to be discharged from the water container 1 until the air storage barrel 2 rises to the height of the drain pipe 7, and the water is no longer discharged from the water container 1. Figure 4 As shown, the first operation cycle has been completed.

[0041] To start the next operation cycle, open the valve of the water inlet pipe 6, turn off the power supply of the motor 9 and stop running, so that the upward pulling force of the internal counterweight body 4 and the air storage barrel 2 disappears, and it starts to move downward again under the force of its own downward movement, and so on. In this new way, the purpose of transporting water from a low place to a high place is achieved.
