[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage and release technology, and in particular to a constraint and buffer device for elastic energy storage. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, the main energy sources used and stored by humans are hydropower, wind power, electricity, and chemical energy. The application areas of flexible energy storage and release devices are relatively limited due to their storage capacity and ease of use: taking spring potential energy as an example, such devices are mostly used in fields such as mechanical clocks and watches, requiring additional flexible energy release control mechanisms; while for air-based flexible energy storage devices, they are mainly used in drive conversion, such as cylinders.

[0003] Due to the lack of relevant storage and release control technologies, resilient energy storage is currently difficult to apply on a large scale.

[0004] To help reduce the application difficulty of flexible energy storage technology and provide new solutions for its application, it is necessary to develop a constraint and buffer device for flexible energy storage. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. The terms "orientation" and "orientation direction" in actual equipment can be understood as the orientation pointed to by any gravitational connection line, which can extend along a straight line, a curve, or even a curved surface. The term "elasticity" should be interpreted broadly as an energy tendency to return to its original position after a change in position. For example, it can be elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, or attraction or repulsion caused by a magnetic field, or attraction or repulsion between microscopic particles. When applied to environments such as electromagnetic fields or plasma flows, the term "elasticity" can also be understood as changes in the intensity of inductance, magnetic fields, or electric fields. Similarly, "elastic constraint" can also be understood as "variable magnetic constraint," etc., in different application scenarios. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention as appropriate to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This invention provides a constraint and buffering device for elastic energy storage, comprising a constraint unit 1, a buffering unit 2, and an elastic connection unit 3. The constraint unit 1 can form or release external constraints based on changes in the elastic connection of the elastic connection unit 3 or related information changes. The buffering unit 2 can provide buffering based on changes in the elastic connection of the elastic connection unit 3 or related information changes. The formation or release of external constraints can refer to visible elastic deformation or changes in the force field, etc. This invention achieves automatic stepwise storage or release of elastic energy through the coordinated elastic connection unit 3, constraint unit 1, and buffering unit 2, improving the rhythmicity and stability of elastic potential energy during storage and conversion, thereby reducing the application difficulty of elastic energy storage technology.

[0036] As an optional implementation, constraint unit 1 and buffer unit 2 are connected by elastic connection unit 3. Buffer unit 2 is located between two adjacent constraint units 1 and can cooperate with the constraint units 1 to provide corresponding buffering and feedback, thereby maintaining the force connection between the two adjacent constraint units 1. It can also help reduce large or rapid changes in force between the two adjacent constraint units 1, enhancing the stability of the device during operation and preventing damage due to drastic force fluctuations, thus achieving steady energy storage and release. Alternatively, in environmental conditions where the drasticness or intensity of the elastic connection change is insufficient to cause unacceptable adverse effects on the device, two adjacent constraint units 1 are connected by elastic connection unit 3, and buffer unit 2 is not provided between the two adjacent constraint units 1. Elastic connection unit 3 can refer to a visible elastic cable connection, or it can refer to changes in force field, light, electricity, or particle flow, etc. (in other words, the elastic connection unit 3 can be any elastic system or gravitational connection system). Elastic connection unit 3 can be made of muscle fibers or other elastic fiber materials, and the corresponding constraint unit 1 can also be made of variable hydrogel material. Constraint unit 1 and buffer unit 2 can be activated or deactivated by changes in the elastic connection of elastic connection unit 3 or by information changes related to changes in the elastic connection, or by information control routes. When there are many constraint units 1, the elastic energy constrained by multiple constraint units 1 can be stored and released in stages.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the constraint unit 1 includes a constraint-promoting system 12 and a constraint-removing system 11. The constraint-promoting system 12 is connected to the elastic connection unit 3, and the constraint-promoting system 12 is connected to the constraint-removing system 11. The constraint-promoting system 12 and the constraint-removing system 11 can simultaneously realize elastic constraint changes in two different directions. The two constraint-promoting systems 12 and the constraint-removing system 11 arranged on both sides of the constraint-removing system 11 can interact and provide feedback through the constraint connection part 13. Under the action of external force or external environment, the elastic connection unit 3 between two adjacent constraint units 1 can have a certain elastic connection energy under the action of external force. Under the constraint of the constraint units 1 connected to both ends of the elastic connection unit 3, the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 3 can be stored through the constraint of the two adjacent constraint units 1. When the two adjacent constraint units 1 connected to both ends of the elastic connection unit 3 start to deconstrain one after the other, the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 3 formed by the constraint of the two adjacent constraint units 1 can be released through the release of the constraint of one of the constraint units 1.

[0038] In this scheme, the main medium for realizing elastic energy storage is the elastic connection unit 3, while the constraint system 12 and the unconstraint system 11 mainly serve as switches for energy storage and release.

[0039] Since changes in the elastic connection of the elastic connection unit 3 or changes in information related to the changes in the elastic connection can alter the constraint system 12 to form or release external constraints, and can alter the unconstraint system 11 to release or form external constraints, the storage and release of energy are triggered by changes in the elastic connection of the elastic connection unit 3 or changes in information related to the changes in the elastic connection. This technical solution can realize the automatic stepwise storage or release of energy between multiple adjacent constraint units 1 through changes in the elastic connection of the elastic connection unit 3 or changes in information related to the changes in the elastic connection.

[0040] However, due to the unique structure of this system, as a byproduct of this technology, the constraint-enhancing system 12 and the unconstraint system 11 can also achieve partial energy storage and release. This is explained below:

[0041] During system operation, the energy storage states of the constraint-promoting system 12 and the deconstraint-releasing system 11 are opposite. That is, when the elastic connection unit 3 undergoes an elastic connection change, the constraint-promoting system 12 stores energy, while the deconstraint-releasing system 11 releases energy; conversely, when the elastic connection unit 3 undergoes a reverse elastic connection change, the constraint-promoting system 12 releases energy, while the deconstraint-releasing system 11 stores energy. Simultaneously, under the influence of elastic connection changes, the constraint-promoting system 12 and the deconstraint-releasing system 11 can adaptively adjust in terms of size, shape, and strength. Furthermore, the buffer unit 2 can provide feedback during elastic connection changes to weaken the magnitude of the change, achieving a slow and steady release of energy. This, to a certain extent, overcomes the problems of insufficient stability, large impacts, and fluctuations in elastic energy storage and release.

[0042] To achieve the above technical effects, the specific implementation of this technical solution is as follows:

[0043] When a large force change occurs in the constraint unit 1 in the first direction (such as the direction of connection with the elastic connection unit 3), the constraint unit 1 will generate a certain elastic deformation. At the same time, it will form a corresponding deformation in the second direction (such as the direction of connection with the constraint connection part 13) to form or release the external constraint. As the constraints of the adjacent constraint units 1 are formed or released step by step, the energy storage or release through the elastic connection unit 3 is gradually realized, thereby making the constraint unit 1 an automatic step-by-step control switch that can automatically store or release energy.

[0044] Specifically, the constraint release system 11 includes a first limiting frame 111 and a first elastic element 112. The first elastic element 112 is located inside the first limiting frame 111, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the first limiting frame 111. The constraint release system 12 is connected to the first limiting frame 111. When the first limiting frame 111 deforms under the drive of the constraint release system 12, the first elastic element 112 will stretch or contract, thereby forming or releasing external constraints.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the restraint system 12 includes a second limiting frame 121, a second elastic element 122, and a steering member 123. The second elastic element 122 is located within the second limiting frame 121, with one end of the second elastic element 122 connected to one corner of the second limiting frame 121. The steering member 123 is connected to the other corner of the second limiting frame 121. The elastic connecting unit 3 bypasses the steering member 123 and is connected to the other end of the second elastic element 122. The second limiting frame 121 is located within the first limiting frame 111 and is connected to the first limiting frame 111. Both the first elastic element 112 and the second elastic element 122 can be spring-like structures.

[0046] The steering component 123 includes a guide wheel 1231 and a connecting frame 1232. The guide wheel 1231 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 1232. The connecting frame 1232 is connected to the second limiting frame 121. The elastic connecting unit 3 (which is a linear structure at this time) passes around the guide wheel 1231 and is connected to the other end of the second elastic element 122. The guide wheel 1231 is used to change the direction of the tension of the elastic connecting unit 3.

[0047] When the tension of the elastic connecting unit 3 gradually increases, the elastic connecting unit 3 will pull the second elastic element 122, thereby causing the second limiting frame 121 to compress and flatten longitudinally and lengthen laterally, generating an outward thrust on the unconstraint system 11, thereby causing the unconstraint system 11 to be constrained externally, that is, compressing the first limiting frame 111 in the longitudinal direction and lengthening the first limiting frame 111 in the lateral direction, thereby elastically stretching and constraining the first elastic element 112, so that the first limiting frame 111 forms an external constraint through the constraint connection part 13. When the tension of the elastic connecting unit 3 gradually decreases, it can generate displacement in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the above-mentioned constraint.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the constraint system 12 includes a third limiting frame 124, a threaded rod 125, and a rotating member 126. The threaded rod 125 passes through the third limiting frame 124, and both ends of the third limiting frame 124 are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 125. The end of the threaded rod 125 is connected to the rotating member 126, and the rotating member 126 is connected to the elastic connecting unit 3.

[0049] The rotating component 126 includes a movable plate 1261, a movable rotating rod 1262, a first rope 1263, a second rope 1264, and a reset mechanism 1265. The end of the movable rotating rod 1262 is connected to the end of the threaded rod 125. The movable rotating rod 1262 passes through the middle region of the movable plate 1261 and is movably connected to the movable plate 1261. One end of both the first rope 1263 and the second rope 1264 is connected to the movable rotating rod 1262. Both rope 1263 and rope 1264 are spirally wound on the movable rotating rod 1262. The other end of the first rope 1263 is connected to one end of the movable plate 1261, and the other end of the second rope 1264 is connected to the other end of the movable plate 1261. The movable plate 1261 is connected to the elastic connecting unit 3, and the movable plate 1261 is connected to the unconstraint system 11 through the reset mechanism 1265. That is, the movable plate 1261 is connected to the first limiting frame 111 through the reset mechanism 1265.

[0050] When the tension of the elastic connecting unit 3 gradually increases, the elastic connecting unit 3 will pull the movable plate 1261 to move away from the constraint system 12 along the movable rotating rod 1262. The reset mechanism 1265 will be compressed, and the first rope 1263 and the second rope 1264 will reduce the number of turns wrapped around the movable rotating rod 1262, thereby driving the movable rotating rod 1262 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 125 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 125 will drive the third limiting frame 124 to compress in the longitudinal direction, extend in the transverse direction, and generate an outward pushing force on the unconstraint system 11, thereby causing the unconstraint system 11 to be constrained externally, that is, to stretch the first limiting frame 111, and then to elastically stretch and constrain the first elastic element 112, so that the first limiting frame 111 forms an external constraint through the constraint connection part 13. When the tension of the elastic connecting unit 3 gradually decreases, conversely, the reset of the reset mechanism 1265 will generate a displacement in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the above-mentioned constraint.

[0051] It should be noted that the first limiting frame 111, the second limiting frame 121, and the third limiting frame 124 described above are rhomboid structures in this embodiment. This structure is not considered a limitation on other shapes and constructions. Furthermore, the aforementioned steering member 123 and rotating member 126 can limit the elastic constraint change, time, or speed at the unconstrained system 11 by restricting the constraint system 12, thereby limiting the elastic constraint change, time, or speed at the constraint unit 1. This allows the device to have the effect of switching and controlling the storage or release of elastic potential energy, as well as time or speed control.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the number of constraint systems 12 is even and they are evenly distributed on both sides of the unconstraint system 11.

[0053] The constraint unit 1 also includes two constraint connection parts 13. The two constraint connection parts 13 are connected to both ends of the unconstraint system 11. Specifically, the two constraint connection parts 13 are located at both ends of the first limiting frame 111, and both ends of the first elastic member 112 are respectively connected to the two constraint connection parts 13. The constraint system 12 located on both sides of the unconstraint system 11 is connected to the two constraint connection parts 13 through the unconstraint system 11. Both ends of the second limiting frame 121 are respectively connected to the two constraint connection parts 13 through the first limiting frame 111; or the second limiting frame 121 can be directly connected to the constraint connection parts 13. The constraint connection part 13 is used to realize the linkage of the two constraint-promoting systems 12 on both sides of the constraint-removing system 11. Its structural effect is that it can assist in the formation of constraints under the joint action of the constraint-promoting systems 12 on both sides. In terms of the logic of the constraint formation process, its function is similar to the "AND" gate in logic mathematics. However, under the reverse action of the constraint-promoting system 12 on one side, it can assist in the gradual release of constraints. In terms of the logic of the constraint release process, its function is similar to the "OR" gate in logic mathematics.

[0054] When the constraint on the elastic connection unit 3 is not formed, when the two constraint systems 12 on both sides are simultaneously affected by the elastic connection change of the elastic connection unit 3, the second limiting frame 121 or the third limiting frame 124 in the constraint system 12 on both sides of the unconstraint system 11 will deform due to the elastic connection change of the elastic connection unit 3 or the information change related to the elastic connection change, thereby generating an outward constraint force on the first limiting frame 111. This constraint force will form an external constraint on the elastic connection unit 3 through the two constraint connection parts 13; and when the constraint on the elastic connection unit 3 is not formed by the two adjacent constraint units 1 .... After the constraint of the connecting unit 3 has been formed, due to the linear structural characteristics of the elastic connecting unit 3, the release of the constraint can only start from one side of a certain constraint unit 1. The generation of the elastic connecting unit 3 on one side of the constraint unit 1 is the opposite of the above-mentioned elastic connection change or the information change related to the elastic connection change, thereby causing the second limiting frame 121 or the third limiting frame 124 on one side to undergo reverse deformation, thereby generating an inward release force on the first limiting frame 111. This unilateral release force can gradually release the external constraint of the elastic connecting unit 3 through the two constraint connection parts 13.

[0055] When a certain working stage of the device is completed (i.e. when the system switches between energy storage and energy release), the adjacent constraint units 1 can also automatically form or release constraints one by one according to the elastic connection change of the elastic connection unit 3 or the information change related to the elastic connection change, so that the process can be reversed and the system can work continuously in a cycle.

[0056] Energy storage and release process of multiple constraint units 1 to elastic connection unit 3:

[0057] When a fixed elastic connection unit 3 is provided with multiple constraint units 1, the elastic connection strength on the elastic connection units 3 on both sides of the first constraint unit 1 is gradually increased. According to the above working principle, the first constraint unit 1 can gradually form an external constraint, and the first constraint unit 1 is fixed. The elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 3 between the fixed end and the first constraint unit 1 is constrained and stored. Then, with the fixed first constraint unit 1 as the fixed end, the elastic connection strength on the elastic connection units 3 on both sides of the second constraint unit 1 is gradually increased. According to the above working principle, the second constraint unit 1 can gradually form an external constraint, and the second constraint unit 1 is fixed. The elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 3 between the first and second constraint units 1 is constrained and stored. And so on, with the fixed second constraint unit 1 as the fixed end, the above process is followed to gradually form an external constraint for the Nth constraint unit 1, and the elastic energy between multiple adjacent constraint units 1 is constrained and stored. The constraint is stored; the energy release process is similar but in reverse. At the start of energy release, the external constraint of the last (or first) constraint unit 1 is released through elastic connection changes, making the last constraint unit 1 a free end. Elastic connection unit 3, constrained between the penultimate (or second) constraint unit 1 and the last constraint unit 1, releases its elastic energy. As the elastic energy contained in the elastic connection unit 3 between the last and penultimate constraint units 1 is gradually released, the elastic connection strength of the elastic connection units 3 before the penultimate constraint unit gradually weakens. This gradually causes the external constraint of the penultimate constraint unit 1 to be released, making it a free end. This, in turn, causes the elastic energy constrained in the elastic connection unit 3 between the next two adjacent constraint units 1 to be released. Thus, energy storage or release is gradually achieved through elastic connection unit 3, making constraint unit 1 an automatic step-by-step control switch capable of automatically storing or releasing energy. Because this process is reversible, the system continuously cycles and repeats.

[0058] Taking the winding of the elastic connection unit 3 and the gradual constraint or deconstraint through multiple constraint units 1 as an example, when the system finishes winding in the forward direction and switches to winding in the reverse direction, the winding or dewinding process of the system can be automatically carried out step by step according to the change of the elastic connection through the above structure.

[0059] When the device is applied in a normal environment, the above structure can be used as a reference. When the device is applied in an environment with plasma fluids, such as when its gravitational connection system is realized through electromagnetic fields or plasma flow, the above-mentioned constraint system 12 and deconstraint system 11 can be set to be structures that can generate magnetic fields. 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 constraint effect can be achieved.

[0060] As an optional implementation, the buffer unit 2 includes a connecting system 21 and a buffer system 22, with the buffer system 22 connected to the elastic connecting unit 3 via the connecting system 21. Alternatively, the buffer unit 2 can also be another similar structure equipped with a spiral spring. In this case, the spiral spring is pre-loaded with tension, and when it retracts, it can retract the slack portion in the elastic connecting unit 3. Thus, when the elastic connection is transmitted to the next constraint unit 1, the strength feedback of the elastic connection strengthens the stability of the elastic connection, and the elastic energy is steadily released.

[0061] Of course, the elastic connection unit 3 used to connect adjacent constraint unit 1 and buffer unit 2 can also be connected using a magnetic field or the like. For example, in this case, the connection system 21 in the buffer unit 2 is an inductor-like structure. This structure can generate certain feedback when the magnetic field changes, and together with the constraint unit 1, which also has electromagnetic induction function, it can achieve certain elastic constraint and buffering functions in an electromagnetic field environment.

[0062] The aforementioned constraint and buffer device, which can achieve elastic constraint function in an electromagnetic field environment, can be used to adjust the density of high-temperature plasma, thereby helping the corresponding equipment to provide a stable plasma flow.

[0063] It should be noted that the aforementioned elastic connection unit 3 can cooperate with the corresponding constraint unit 1 and buffer unit 2 to realize the step-by-step storage and release of elastic energy, and improve the stability of the release process to a certain extent.

[0064] It is understood that the constraint and buffer device for elastic energy storage provided in this embodiment effectively overcomes the problems of imperfect automatic step-by-step control and insufficient stability of traditional elastic energy storage devices during use, especially in the energy storage and release process, by utilizing the segmented lateral control and longitudinal buffer structure during elastic force release; it realizes the automatic step-by-step storage or release of elastic energy and improves the stability of the release process to a certain extent.

[0065] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
