[0027] The following further details a gravity-inertia power generation device of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0028] Combined with the attached Figures 1-6, a detailed introduction to the present invention is given.

[0029] A gravity-inertia power generation device includes an annular track 1, telescopic columns 2, a power generation vehicle 3, and an AC generator 4.

[0030] There are several telescopic columns 2, which are evenly arranged along the central loop between the inner and outer sides of the annular track 1, and adjacent telescopic columns 2 are fixedly connected by a chain 5. Specifically, the annular track 1 is set 5 m above the ground, the circumference of the central loop is 500 m, and the width is 1 m; the setting of the annular track 1 5 meters above the ground is for the following reasons: ① for safety, ② for not having to set up a courtyard wall anymore, ③ for the convenience of maintaining the telescopic columns 2. Four factory gates with a width of 5 m and a height of 5 m can be set between the two telescopic columns 2 in each of the four directions of east, west, south, and north for easy passage. The other telescopic columns 2 can be connected by hard materials and integrated with the 1-meter-wide annular track 1.

[0031] One telescopic column 2 is set every 5 m, and the telescopic stroke of each telescopic column 2 is 5 m. Each column is staggered by 3.6°. Adjacent telescopic columns 2 are arranged alternately in height, with one in a fully raised state and the adjacent telescopic column 2 in a fully lowered state. A first induction switch for controlling its lifting and lowering is provided on the telescopic column 2. A plunger pump is used as the power source, and the telescopic speed is controlled by a flow regulating valve; there are 4 plunger pumps, which are respectively located in two pump stations. Each pump station is provided with two plunger pumps, one of which is in use and the other is in standby; the two pump stations are arranged inside the annular track 1, and each is separated by 250 m; the two pump stations provide power for the telescopic columns 2 at the same time, and the medium of the plunger pump is recycled water and emulsified oil; the pump stations are pressurized by a closed-loop pipeline, with a pressure of 30 Mpa. The inlet pipe is a high-pressure pipe with a diameter of 51 cm, and the return pipe is a high-pressure pipe with a diameter of 200 cm; the two pump stations are connected in series to the pipeline with a tee, and several accumulator tanks are connected in series to the inlet pipeline to cooperate with the system.

[0032] The power generation vehicle 3 includes sliding wheels 6, a power shaft 7, and a gear 8. The gear 8 is slidably keyed to the power shaft 7, and the gear 8 rotates in cooperation with the chain 5; the sliding wheels 6 are located at the four corners of the power generation vehicle 3 and are on the annular track 1, and rotate along the annular track 1 with the power generation vehicle 3 to offset the resistance when the power generation vehicle 3 slides down; the same structure of first flywheels 11 is symmetrically provided at both ends of the power shaft 7, and the first flywheels 11 are connected to the power shaft 7 through ratchets 12; a second induction switch is provided at the front end of the power shaft 7, and a third induction switch is provided at the rear end of the power shaft 7. The first induction switch is respectively connected to the second induction switch and the third induction switch.

[0033] The alternator 4 is a two-way output shaft generator. A second flywheel 14 with a planetary gear 13 is provided on each shaft at both ends of the alternator 4. The first flywheel 11 and the second flywheel 14 are differentially connected by a belt 15. Inside the annular track 1, 100 electric poles 17 with a length of 7 m are arranged parallel to the annular track 1 at an interval of 5 m along the inner side of the annular track 1 at a distance of 1.5 m from the inner side thereof, and the height is the same as that of the alternator 4; Four closed-loop lines 16 parallel to the annular track 1 are laid above the electric poles 17, and the closed-loop lines 16 are connected to the substation; The output line of the alternator 4 is connected to the four closed-loop lines 16 on the electric poles 17 by a pantograph.

[0034] The specific implementation process of a gravity-inertia power generation device of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] The present invention creates a condition for an object to always be on a downhill slope, so that the object slides inertially along the slope of the downhill under the action of its own gravity. In order to reduce the sliding resistance to increase inertia, a sliding wheel 6 can be installed under the object. The magnitude of the inertial energy is determined by the weight of the object itself, the slope of the ramp, and the sliding speed of the object.

[0036] The specific method is as follows:

[0037] An annular track 1 with a length of 500 m and a width of 1 m is provided at a height of 5 m from the ground. A telescopic column 2 that can freely expand and contract up and down is provided every 5 m in the middle of the track (the telescopic stroke of the telescopic column 2 is 5 m, and each telescopic column 2 is staggered by 3.6°. 100 telescopic columns 2 are just 500 m long). The telescopic columns 2 are numbered as odd and even numbers. The odd-numbered telescopic columns 2 are in the fully extended position, and the even-numbered telescopic columns 2 are in the fully retracted position. The top of each telescopic column 2 is fixedly connected by a chain 5, and the angle with the adjacent telescopic column 2, that is, the slope, is 45°.

[0038] A four-wheel power generation vehicle 3 is provided on the annular track 1. The power shaft 7 on the power generation vehicle 3 is not connected to the wheel shaft 10 for transmission (the four wheels act as sliding wheels 6 to offset the resistance when the generator slides down). The power shaft 7 works in cooperation with the chain 5 on the telescopic column 2 through gears. The power shaft 7 and the gear 8 are connected by a sliding key to cooperate with the 3.6° difference between each telescopic column 2. A first flywheel 11 of equal mass and equal diameter is provided at each end of the power shaft 7. The power shaft 7 and the first flywheel 11 are connected by a ratchet 12, so that the first flywheel 11 can also rotate inertia when the power shaft 7 does not rotate. The generator adopted in the present invention is an AC generator 4 with shafts at both ends. A second flywheel 14 with a planetary gear 13 is provided at each end of the shaft of the AC generator 4 (the planetary gear 13 is provided to increase the rotation speed and torque of the AC generator 4). The first flywheel 11 on the power shaft 7 and the second flywheel 14 on the AC generator 4 are connected by a differential belt 15. When the second flywheel 14 reaches a certain rotation speed, the excitation circuit of the AC generator 4 is connected, and the AC generator 4 starts to generate electricity; when power generation is not required, only the excitation circuit needs to be disconnected, and the telescopic column 2 stops telescoping to stop power generation.

[0039] During operation, a first induction switch is provided on the telescopic column 2, which is connected to the second induction switch and the third induction switch at the front and rear ends of the power shaft 7 on the power generation vehicle 3. When the front end of the power generation vehicle 3 passes through the No. 1 telescopic column 2, the second induction switch at the front end of the power generation vehicle 3 operates the No. 2 telescopic column 2 to descend through an electronic valve; when the rear end of the power generation vehicle 3 passes through the No. 1 telescopic column 2, the third induction switch at the rear end of the power generation vehicle 3 operates the No. 1 telescopic column 2 to rise through an electronic valve (by the same principle, the power generation vehicle 3 can automatically operate the rise and fall of all telescopic columns 2 during travel). With the mutual cooperation of the rise and fall of the telescopic column 2, the power generation vehicle 3 is always in a downhill position. Under the action of gravity and downhill inertia, the power generation vehicle 3 always rotates and slides downhill along the chain 5 through the gear on the power shaft 7, thereby driving the second flywheel 14 to rotate and providing strong rotational power for the AC generator 4.

[0040] The greater the slope of the downhill, the greater the inertia. The greater the inertia, the faster the rotation speed of the first flywheel 11 and the longer the rotation time. The greater the mass of the first flywheel 11, the longer the rotation time at the same rotation speed, the greater the inertial energy generated, and the stronger the output power.

[0041] 50 AC generators 4 with a capacity of 2 - 5 MW can be installed among 100 telescopic columns 2 for simultaneous operation.

[0042] The magnitude of the power is determined by the mass and rotational speed of the first flywheel 11 on the power shaft 7. The greater the mass and the faster the rotational speed, the greater the inertial energy generated. The speed of rotation is determined by the telescopic speed of the telescopic column 2, which is adjusted by the flow valve on the telescopic column 2. The greater the flow rate, the faster the telescopic speed of the telescopic column 2, that is, the faster the change speed of the slope from small to large, the faster the rotational speed of the first flywheel 11, and the greater the inertial energy generated.

[0043] The power source is 4 piston pumps with a flow rate of 400. Two pump stations are set up. The pump stations are pressurized by a closed-loop pipeline, with a pressure of 30 Mpa. The inlet pipe is a high-pressure pipe with a diameter of 51 cm, and the return pipe is a high-pressure pipe with a diameter of 200 cm, which is connected to the two pump stations. The two pump stations are arranged inside the annular track 1, with a distance of 250 meters between each other. The two pump stations are connected in series to the pipeline with a tee and several accumulator tanks are connected in series in the inlet pipeline to cooperate with the system. One pump station is equipped with two piston pumps, one for standby. The two pump stations work simultaneously to provide power for the telescopic column 2, and the medium is recycled water and emulsified oil.

[0044] Inside the annular track 1, 100 electric poles 17 with a length of 7 m are arranged at intervals of 5 m parallel to the annular track 1, 1.5 m inside the inner side of the annular track 1, and are of the same height as the AC generator 4. Four closed-loop lines 16 parallel to the track are laid above the electric poles 17 and connected to the substation. The outgoing line of the AC generator 4 is connected to the four closed-loop lines 16 on the electric poles 17 with a pantograph, so that the electricity generated by each AC generator 4 can be transmitted to the substation through the closed-loop line 16.

[0045] Inside the annular track 1 with a diameter of 500 m, an office building, a substation, a maintenance workshop, a hydraulic pump station, a living area, etc. can be set up, and solar panels can be installed in the idle space to reduce space waste.

[0046] The above describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative work without departing from the gist of the present invention, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
