[0002] In the field of mechanics, converting the maximum efficiency with the minimum energy input is a common pursuit in the industry. To this end, more and more people are conducting research on energy conversion equipment. For example, some people have proposed using the permanence of magnets as energy input to develop energy conversion devices. Using magnetic force as the energy source can indeed achieve the goal of high-efficiency energy conversion. However, experimental verification shows that due to the limited effect of magnetic force, the output kinetic energy is not large and can only meet the needs of low-power equipment. Therefore, how to provide an energy conversion device that can achieve higher power output has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Each of the lifting devices includes a pair of sprockets arranged along the vertical center line E of the runner, a chain installed between the two sprockets, and a plurality of lifting plates installed on the chain, which are arranged in pairs and can run synchronously with the counterweight; when one of the lifting plates in each pair runs to the side of the counterweight hole below the vertical center line of the runner, the other lifting plate can run just to the side of the counterweight hole above the vertical center line.

At the same time, the steel ball lifted to the upper part of the vertical center line of the runner can enter the counterweight hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The gravity energy conversion device of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0020] The gravity energy conversion device of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a power group 2 arranged in the base. The power group 2 includes a runner 4 with a power shaft 3, a lifting device 6 arranged beside the runner, and a gear speed change assembly 7 that can make the runner and the lifting device rotate synchronously. A cover 26 is provided outside the base. During the rotation process, the speed is distributed by the gear ratio of the gear speed change assembly 7. Among them, the base 1 is provided with an operating chamber 13 for accommodating the runner 4 and a speed change chamber 15 for accommodating the gear speed change assembly. The power shaft of the runner 4 is transverse ( Figure 1 The left and right directions shown are defined as transverse directions) pass through the speed change cavity 15 and are supported by bearings placed on the machine base. The runner 4 has counterweight holes 8 evenly arranged along its circumference (there are 24 counterweight holes in this embodiment, and there are 6 lifting plates on the chain). Counterweights 9 are placed in the counterweight holes 8, which can cooperate with the lifting device to put the runner in a kinetic energy balance state. In this embodiment, the counterweights 9 are steel balls for placement in the counterweight holes. In order to achieve dynamic balance, in this embodiment, steel balls are placed in the counterweight holes on the vertical center line of the runner and in each counterweight hole on the right side of the vertical center line. That is to say, the right semicircle of the runner and the counterweight holes on the vertical center line E of the runner (the vertical center line of the runner is as shown in FIG. Figure 11 The steel ball is placed in the counterweight hole on the left semicircle of the runner, and the steel ball is not placed in the counterweight hole on the left semicircle of the runner. The base 1 is also provided with a runway-shaped chain groove 14 on the side wall of the running cavity. The long axis center line of the chain groove 14 coincides with the vertical center line E of the runner (at Figure 2directional perspective), and the lifting device 6 includes a pair of sprockets 10 arranged up and down along the vertical center line of the runner, a chain 11 installed between the two sprockets, and three pairs of lifting plates 12 installed on the chains, which are arranged in pairs and can run synchronously with the counterweight. The sprockets 10 and the chains 11 are placed in the chain grooves. The lifting plates are of L-shaped cross-section structure. The paired arrangement means that there must be two lifting plates that are symmetrically arranged up and down when running to the center line of the long axis, that is: when one of the lifting plates runs to the side of the counterweight hole 8 at the lower part of the vertical center line of the runner, it can make the other lifting plate just run to the side of the counterweight hole 8 at the upper part of the vertical center line of the runner. One of the lifting plates The sprocket shaft of the sprocket 10 extends into the speed change cavity 15, and the gear speed change assembly 7 is arranged between the power shaft 3 and the sprocket shaft extending into the speed change cavity, so that the gear speed change assembly 7 is installed in conjunction with the sprocket shaft 16 and the power shaft. Through the provided lifting device 6, when the steel ball runs to the counterweight hole 8 at the lower part of the vertical center line of the runner, it can enter the chain groove and be lifted by the lifting plate. At the same time, the steel ball lifted to the upper part of the vertical center line of the runner can enter the counterweight hole 8. In this way, the steel ball in the counterweight hole at the bottom of the vertical center line of the runner can be lifted to the counterweight hole at the upper part of the vertical center line of the runner in sequence as the runner runs to achieve continuous power output.

[0021] It can be seen from the above structural design that in the runner with evenly distributed counterweight holes, steel balls are continuously added to the counterweight holes from above, so that the counterweight holes at the right half of the circumference of the vertical center line of the runner are filled with steel balls (the counterweight holes at the left half of the circumference of the vertical center line of the runner are always empty). The gravity of the steel balls drives the runner to rotate continuously. When the steel balls run to the lowest point of the runner (the bottom of the vertical center line of the runner), the steel balls enter the chain slot and are lifted by the lifting plate under the drive of the chain until they are lifted to the top of the runner (the top of the vertical center line of the runner), and then sent into the counterweight holes of the runner. The steel balls move in and out of the counterweight holes of the runner, which ensures that the total gravity generated by the runner during movement overcomes the resistance and friction generated by a few steel balls on the chain and stably outputs 65% of the effective power.

[0022] Furthermore, a lower guide inclined plate 23 is provided on the side of the rotating wheel 4, which is opposite to the entrance of the chain groove 14 (the entrance of the chain groove is located at the lower limit position of the steel ball's operation). When the steel ball runs to the position of the lower guide inclined plate, the steel ball can be forced into the chain groove through the guide surface of the lower guide inclined plate and then lifted by the lifting plate. An upper guide inclined plate 24 is provided on the side of the chain groove 14, which is opposite to the entrance of the rotating wheel (the upper limit position of the steel ball's operation), and a guide inclined surface cooperating with the upper guide inclined plate is provided on the rotating wheel. A channel is formed between the upper guide inclined plate and the guide inclined surface, through which the steel ball can pass. When the steel ball runs to the position of the upper guide inclined plate, it can enter the channel formed between the upper guide inclined plate and the guide inclined surface and force the steel ball into the rotating wheel during operation.

[0023] In addition, a brake device for braking each power group can be provided on the side of the machine base 1 . Example

[0024] As shown in the figure, the gravity energy conversion device of this embodiment is roughly the same as that of the first embodiment, except that three power groups are provided in the machine base 1, namely, power group 1, power group 2 and power group 3 from right to left. Each power group is respectively placed in an operating cavity and is installed on the same power shaft. Three speed change cavities 15 are provided in the machine base 1, each speed change cavity is located next to one of the operating cavities, and a synchronization shaft 20 is provided on the machine base 1 that passes through each speed change cavity transversely. The gear speed change assembly 7 includes a transmission gear 18 on the sprocket shaft extending into the speed change cavity 15 in each lifting device, a synchronization gear 21 located in each speed change cavity and fixedly mounted on the synchronization shaft, and a power gear 17 installed on the power shaft 3. Figure 1 It can be seen that the speed change cavity 15 located on the right side of power group one serves as the main speed change cavity, and the power gear 17 installed on the power shaft is located in this speed change cavity. The power gear 17 is meshed with the transmission gear 18 on the sprocket shaft of power group one through the speed change gear set, and the transmission gear 18 on the sprocket shaft of power group one is meshed with the synchronous gear in the speed change cavity. Similarly, the speed change cavity on the right side of power group two has a transmission gear installed on the sprocket shaft of power group two and a synchronous gear meshed with the transmission gear. The speed change cavity on the right side of power group three has a transmission gear installed on the sprocket shaft of power group three and a synchronous gear meshed with the transmission gear, so that each synchronous gear 21 is respectively meshed with the transmission gear 18 on the sprocket shaft of each power group to realize coordinated power transmission. The key function of the gear speed change assembly 6 is to generate a speed ratio between the power shaft and the synchronous shaft, and coordinate the speed ratio between the power shaft and the synchronous shaft so that the chain drive and the rotation of the wheel are maintained in a synchronous operation state.

[0025] Here's how it works: In the initial stage, the steel balls need to be added to the counterweight holes one by one. First, add a steel ball to the counterweight hole at the top of the vertical center line of the wheel. When adding steel balls, the brake device needs to be used to brake to prevent the wheel from rotating during the addition of steel balls. After adding the first steel ball, the subsequent steel balls are added one by one (that is, always add the steel balls to the counterweight holes of the wheel from the top). In the subsequent steel ball adding process, each time a steel ball is added, the wheel must be rotated to the next counterweight hole at the top of the vertical center line of the wheel, and all steel balls are added in sequence, that is, the right half circle of the wheel and the counterweight hole at the vertical center line E of the wheel (the vertical center line of the wheel is as shown in the figure). Figure 11After all the steel balls have been added, the brake device is released. Since only the right half of the wheel and the counterweight holes on the vertical center line E of the wheel are added with steel balls, after the brake is released, the wheel is always in a half-heavy and half-light state during the rotation process. At the same time, by cooperating with the lifting device and controlling the speed ratio through the gear speed change assembly 6 (the ratio of the angle of rotation of the wheel when the wheel rotates one steel ball spacing and the angle of rotation of the sprocket when the steel ball on the chain moves one spacing is the gear speed ratio), it is kept in a dynamic balance state, achieving the purpose of continuous rotation and continuous output of kinetic energy. When the speed needs to be increased, the subsequent continuous power output can be achieved by supplementing the speed of the wheel once, and the effective power output is more than 65%.

[0026] In addition, during the operation of the runner, when the steel ball runs to the bottom of the vertical center line of the runner, that is, when the steel ball runs to the position of the lower guide ramp, the guide surface of the lower guide ramp forces the steel ball into the chain groove and then is lifted by the lifting plate (that is, when the steel ball is in the lower limit position, it is acted upon by the guide surface of the lower guide ramp to cause its center of gravity to shift and roll away from the runner along the guide surface into the chain groove. At this time, the steel ball is just lifted up by the lifting plate). As the chain runs upward, the steel ball is transported to the top of the vertical center line of the runner. At this position, when the steel ball runs to the position of the upper guide ramp, it can enter the channel formed between the upper guide ramp and the guide ramp and force the steel ball into the runner during operation (that is, the steel ball is guided by the guide ramp, the center of gravity of the steel ball moves outward toward the runner, and the steel ball rolls into the counterweight hole of the runner with forward inertia), completing the entire cycle.
