Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention combines a cylinder and a flow guide tube to form a directional vortex power propulsion structure to drive the fluid in the cylinder, or utilizes its reaction force to form a vortex propeller. Background Art

[0002] Traditional ship propulsion systems use propellers, which have many problems as follows: (1) The leading edge of the blade is subject to large pressure resistance, and the blade surface is subject to large friction resistance, both of which consume kinetic energy; (2) The propeller exerts centrifugal force on the water and creates a low-pressure area behind the shaft, both of which consume kinetic energy; (3) The propeller loses kinetic energy due to cavitation at the blade tip, and generates noise and corrosion problems; (4) The exposed blades are easily damaged by drifting objects or entangled by ropes or injure aquatic animals; (5) The propeller generates huge vibrations and noise; and (6) The technology for manufacturing and repairing propellers is difficult and expensive.

[0003] The present invention is a completely innovative device that can replace the traditional propeller and solve all the above problems.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor has accumulated many years of experience and conducted careful research to create a vortex power propulsion structure that can improve the shortcomings of existing products and enhance the effect. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a vortex power propulsion structure that can be used to drive the fluid inside the cylinder or to propel a vehicle with the reaction force of the fluid. Such a completely innovative device can meet the requirements of low cost, simple structure, easy installation, not prone to damage, easy maintenance, environmental friendliness, energy saving and high efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical means:

[0007] The present invention provides a vortex power propulsion structure, comprising:

[0008] a cylinder having a fluid inlet at one end and a fluid outlet at the other end, the fluid outlet being larger in size than or equal to the fluid inlet; and

[0009] A flow guide pipe is inserted into the cylinder in a tangential manner. After the guide fluid is injected into the cylinder through the flow guide pipe, a vortex is formed. The vortex moves along the inner edge of the cylinder, pushing the fluid in the cylinder to become the mainstream and accelerate it. The vortex merges with the mainstream and flows to the fluid outlet, and inhales external fluid from the fluid inlet to form a vortex power propulsion structure.

[0010] The invention comprises a flow guide tube which is inserted into the cylinder in a tangential manner. After the fluid is injected into the cylinder through the flow guide tube, the fluid can become a vortex and flow toward a specific end.

[0011] In order to make the fluid in the cylinder move toward a specific end, two methods can be adopted. One is to use a cylinder with openings of different sizes at both ends, and the other is to use an inclined guide tube to a cylinder with openings of the same size at both ends.

[0012] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, when the fluid inlet and fluid outlet at both ends of the cylinder have different sizes, the guide tube is perpendicular to the cylinder, wherein the end with a smaller size is the fluid inlet and the end with a larger size is the fluid outlet.

[0013] When the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet at both ends of the cylinder have the same size, the guide tube and the cylinder are at an oblique angle so that the injected guide fluid can generate a deflected vortex in the cylinder.

[0014] The guide fluid is injected into the cylinder in a tangential manner through the guide pipe, and then rotates along the inner edge of the cylinder to form a vortex. For cylinders with openings of different sizes at both ends, the vortex flows to the larger opening, which is the fluid outlet. For cylinders with openings of the same size at both ends, an inclined guide pipe is used to generate an oblique vortex, which flows to one end of the cylinder, making the opening the fluid outlet.

[0015] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, an acceleration ring is installed on the outer periphery of the cylinder, and the guide fluid injected through the guide pipe enters the acceleration ring in a tangential manner.

[0016] The vortex pushes the static core fluid in the cylinder and makes the latter become the mainstream. The vortex guides the mainstream and keeps it accelerating.

[0017] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the mainstream merges and guides the flow toward the outlet of the cylinder. At the same time, the low pressure in the vacant core area attracts external fluid to enter from the opening at the opposite end. The opening is the fluid inlet, forming a unidirectional mainstream between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet.

[0018] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the accelerated mainstream passes through the vortex in the vertical direction, and the mainstream and the vortex feed back and accelerate each other.

[0019] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the directional mainstream generates thrust at the fluid outlet and suction at the fluid inlet, and the flow rate of the mainstream can be controlled by regulating the flow rate of the diversion.

[0020] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the cylinders of the two vortex power propulsion structures are connected in reverse, and the fluid inlets are connected to form another vortex power propulsion structure combination, which is used to inject the diversion from two different diversion pipes respectively to change the flow direction and flow rate of the fluid in the cylinder.

[0021] Connecting two vortex power propulsion structures and docking the fluid inlets will form a vortex power propulsion structure combination. When injecting diversion fluid into one of the guide pipes, a unidirectional mainstream can be generated, and injecting diversion fluid into the other guide pipe can generate a reverse mainstream.

[0022] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure combination, the vortex power propulsion structure combination is installed on a vehicle to use the reaction force of the mainstream inside the cylinder to propel the vehicle.

[0023] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, a rudder is installed on the fluid outlet of the cylinder to control the direction of the fluid discharged by the vehicle.

[0024] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, a rotating shaft perpendicular to the cylinder is installed on the cylinder, and the rotating vortex power propulsion structure or the vortex power propulsion structure combination is used to control the direction of the vehicle.

[0025] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the two guide tubes of the vortex power propulsion structure assembly are connected by a pump, and the guide fluid is sucked from the front guide tube and injected into the rear guide tube to improve the overall efficiency.

[0026] In the above-mentioned vortex power propulsion structure, the fluid outlet of the cylinder is polygonal, so that the vortex becomes a longitudinal fluid, thereby increasing the overall flow rate of the fluid.

[0027] Each guide tube can independently control the direction and flow rate of the mainstream. The vortex power propulsion structure combination is installed on the vehicle to control the forward, backward, acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, thus meeting the requirements of simple structure, firmness, easy installation, easy maintenance, energy saving and high efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 1a In the embodiment shown, the guide fluid 21 is injected into the conical cylinder 1 through the guide pipe 2, and the guide fluid 21 forms a vortex 22 in the cylinder 1 and flows to a larger opening, which is the fluid outlet 12. Figure 1b In the embodiment shown, when the size of the fluid outlet 12 of the cylinder 1 is the same as the size of the fluid inlet 11, the inclined guide tube 2 is inserted into the cylinder 1 in a tangential manner, and the guide 21 forms a deflected vortex 22 in the cylinder 1 and flows to a specific opening, which is the fluid outlet 12. The fluid outlet 12 of the cylinder 1 can also be a polygon, so that the vortex becomes a longitudinal fluid to increase the overall flow rate of the fluid.

[0051] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, when the vortex 22 flows along the inner edge of the cylinder 1, it also pushes the static core fluid in the cylinder 1 and makes it become the mainstream 14. The vortex 22 guides the mainstream 14 and accelerates it. The vortex 22 merges with the mainstream 14 and flows toward the fluid outlet 12, and sucks in the external fluid 13 from the fluid inlet 11. When the vortex power driving structure is installed on a vehicle (such as a ship), the reaction force of the mainstream 14 inside the cylinder 1 is used to propel the vehicle.

[0052] like Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, an acceleration ring 3 is added to the periphery of the cylinder 1 of the vortex power propulsion structure to increase the outer diameter of the vortex 22, and the guide 21 enters the acceleration ring 3 in a tangential manner.

[0053] like Figure 3a and Figure 3b The streamline diagram of another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 , which can be applied to a ship moving forward or backward, and two vortex propulsion structures are connected in reverse, and the fluid inlets 11 of the cylinders 1 and 1 ' of the two vortex propulsion structures are connected to form a new vortex propulsion structure combination, such as Figure 3a As shown, when the guide pipe 2 is injected with the guide 21, a vortex 22 will be generated; Figure 3b As shown, when the guide 21' is injected into the guide pipe 2', a reverse vortex 22' will be generated. By simply manipulating the guides 21, 21' in the guide pipes 2, 2', the flow direction and speed of the main flow 14, 14' in the vortex power propulsion structure combination can be controlled to drive the ship forward, backward, accelerate or decelerate.

[0054] As described above, when the vortex power propulsion structure assembly is installed on a vehicle (such as a ship), the two guide pipes 2 and 2' of the vortex power propulsion structure assembly are connected by a pump, and the guide pipe 2 is sucked into the guide pipe 21 and injected into the guide pipe 2', or vice versa, the guide pipe 2' is sucked into the guide pipe 21' and injected into the guide pipe 2. Both methods can improve the overall efficiency.

[0055] like Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to the steering of a vehicle (such as a ship). Figure 1a and Figure 1b The vortex propulsion structure, or Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown in the vortex power propulsion structure combination, a rudder 4 is installed on the fluid outlet 12 to adjust the direction of the discharged fluid, and thus control the steering of the vehicle (such as a ship).

[0056] like Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, a three-dimensional appearance diagram of another embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment is suitable for steering of vehicles (such as various ships), such as Figure 1a and Figure 1b The vortex propulsion structure, or Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown in the vortex power propulsion structure combination, a rotating shaft 5 perpendicular to the cylinder 1 is installed on the cylinder 1, so that the vortex power propulsion structure or the vortex power propulsion structure combination can rotate freely to adjust the direction, thereby controlling the direction of the vehicle.

[0057] In summary, the vortex power propulsion structure of the present invention is a completely innovative propulsion device that avoids the shortcomings of traditional propellers. This structure includes a cylinder and a flow guide tube. The cylinder has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid outlet is a larger area opening of the cylinder or the inclined side of the flow guide tube, and the fluid inlet is at the opposite end of the fluid outlet. The guide fluid is injected into the cylinder in a tangential manner through the flow guide tube to form a vortex, and then drives the core fluid and flows to the fluid outlet. The external fluid is sucked into the fluid inlet, merges with the vortex and flows to the fluid outlet. Therefore, the present invention can meet the requirements of simple structure, firmness, easy installation, easy maintenance, low energy consumption and high efficiency, so that the present invention has the basic patent requirements such as practicality, novelty and progressiveness.
