Description

Technical Field

[0001] By using a vacuum column, water can only be pressed to a height of about 10 meters above the water surface under the action of atmospheric pressure. The entire system is sealed with an outer shell to increase the atmospheric pressure inside the entire system. As long as the vacuum column is high enough, the water pressure can be increased to any level you want. The water at the top of the vacuum column can be sucked out with a twin-rod screw pump and injected into a container. After the container is filled, the gravitational potential energy generated by the container is used to descend from the highest point to the horizontal plane, driving the twin-rod screw pump to suck water. The energy required for water to move to higher places is provided by atmospheric pressure and vacuum, while the energy required for the twin-rod screw pump is small. The heavy object driven is the weight of the heavy object sucked out from the top of the vacuum column by the twin-rod screw pump when it moves from the highest point to the lowest point. The energy generated by the gravitational potential energy returning to the horizontal plane from the highest point is greater than the energy required to drive the twin-rod screw pump. The excess part can drive the generator to rotate, and the cycle can continue. Background Art

[0002] Place a vacuum column with its bottom underwater and draw out the air in the column. When all the air in the column is drawn out, the atmospheric pressure will force the water up to a certain height above the horizontal plane. Under standard atmospheric pressure, the atmospheric pressure can pressurize water to a height of 10.3 meters in a vacuum environment. However, after adding an external shell, the entire system is in a sealed space and then filled with air to increase the atmospheric pressure in the system. The atmospheric pressure in the system can pressurize the water to any height you want. At the highest point that the water can reach, a small hole is opened at the top of the vacuum column and a twin-rod screw pump is installed. Water can be sucked out while ensuring that air cannot enter the vacuum column. At this time, the heavy object descends from the highest point above the horizontal plane, and the total weight of the water sucked out greatly exceeds the weight of the heavy object that drives the gear. In the next round of descent, more generator sets can be used to generate electricity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A power generation technology based on solidifying the external air pressure vacuum environment, utilizing atmospheric pressure to pump water to increase the height difference and using gravitational potential energy as power includes: a water pool, a sealed shell, a vacuum column, a bracket, a valve switch, a double-rod screw pump, a double-rod screw pump rotating gear, a sprocket, a chain, a guide rail, a ramp, a container, a container descending channel, a container ascending channel, a generator set, and a water pump. The installation process is as follows: a water pool is installed on the ground, and a vacuum column is installed in it. The bottom of the vacuum column is always below the water surface. A bracket is installed on the periphery, and other equipment is fixed on the bracket. A hole is opened at the top of the vacuum column, and a pipe is used to connect to the outside world. A double-rod screw pump is installed at the other end of the pipe, a small gear is installed on the outside of the double-rod screw pump, the water outlet of the double-rod screw pump is aligned with the container docking position, and a switch is installed on the water outlet. , and fix it on the bracket, install the shaft on one side of the small gear outside the twin-rod screw pump, and the two sides of the shaft are fixed to the bracket by bearings, and an identical sprocket is installed on the inside of the bearing, and then two identical sprockets are installed on the inside of the sprocket, and then a sprocket and a gear are installed on the shaft. One of the sprockets is combined with the twin-rod screw pump gear with a chain, and the other gear is combined with the generator connecting gear, and the generator set is fixed on the bracket. The inner sprocket is installed vertically along the water surface to the lower surface of the water, and fixed on the bracket, connected with a chain, and symmetrical hooks are installed at the corresponding positions to facilitate the container to drive the shaft to rotate when it descends, and the shaft then drives the twin-rod screw pump and the generator set to rotate. The installation position of the hook is related to the net space of the container descent, with the purpose of continuously driving the shaft to rotate. On the other side A shaft is also installed on the surface, and both sides of the shaft are fixed to the bracket with bearings, and two sprockets are also installed on the inside of the bearing, which are connected to the outermost sprocket of the other shaft with a chain. However, the diameter of the sprocket on this shaft is slightly smaller than that on the other shaft. A sprocket is installed on each inner side of the two shafts, and two sprockets are also installed on the bottom water surface, which are connected with a chain. The lifting plates are symmetrically installed on the chain, and the lifting plates are installed more densely to facilitate the empty container at the bottom to be hung and lifted to a higher place. In this way, when a container filled with water is lowered, it can drive the twin-rod screw pump, the generator set and the empty container lifting device to move. Descending channels are installed on both sides of the descending chain, and ascending channels are installed on both sides of the ascending chain to prevent the chain from slipping. Rails are installed at the top of the ascending channel and the top of the descending channel. The ascending channel of the track is higher than the top of the descending channel, and baffles are installed at the gear water outlet and the top of the descending channel. They are controlled by a motor to facilitate the filling of water into the container and the rapid entry into the descending channel to hang the chain to do work. The container is a rectangular parallelepiped, sealed on all sides, and the top is a funnel-shaped container with high sides and a low middle. A shaft is installed in the middle of the top, and the shaft extends out of the container to facilitate the hook of the descending chain and the lifting plate of the ascending chain. Bearings are installed where the shaft moves on the track to facilitate the sliding of the container on the track. Inside the container, a chamber is installed along the axis. The top of the chamber partition is left empty to facilitate the balance of the top flow. There is one chamber in the center, which is installed symmetrically on both sides, and connecting pipes are installed at the bottom of the symmetrical chambers on both sides of the center chamber to allow water to be injected into the container when it is in mid-air.The container is in a balanced state, a pulley is installed at the bottom of the container, and a thimble switch is installed at the bottom of the chamber. When the container reaches the bottom, the bottom of the thimble hits the slope, the thimble pushes up, and water flows out from the switch. When the container rises, the thimble is pressed down by the spring to seal the bottom of the container. In the middle of the pool, a slope is installed between the container's descending point and the container's ascending channel. The slope's descending channel is higher than the ascending channel. The container descends, the container's stay time at the bottom, and the container's ascending time are all strictly calculated. There are four containers in total, one of which is descending, driving all gears, sprockets, double-rod screw pumps, and generator sets to rotate. One is injecting water at the water inlet, one is waiting to descend or wait for water to be injected, and one is releasing water and Rising, the water filling capacity in the container is, which can drive the twin-rod screw pump from the highest point to the lowest point, the amount of water sucked out by the twin-rod screw pump from the vacuum column, and then an outer shell is installed on the outside. The added shell is required to be able to seal the entire system inside, and after inflating the inside, it can ensure the stability of the internal air pressure, so that the internal air pressure will not leak air, so that the internal air pressure is reduced, an opening is made at the top of the vacuum column, and a vertical pipe is installed, a steering switch is installed above and below the pipe, and a switch is also installed at the bottom of the vacuum column. One side of this switch is fixed to the inner wall of the vacuum column with a loose-leaf, and a balloon is installed on the upper side. When there is water inside, the loose-leaf can move upward, and a rope is connected at the bottom. When the switch needs to be closed, the rope is pulled up. Pull the switch and the switch is closed. When the switch does not need to be closed, loosen the rope and the switch is opened under the action of the balloon. When the system is to be started, first turn off the switch at the bottom of the vacuum column and the water outlet switch of the double-rod screw pump. Turn on the two switches at the top of the vacuum column, fill the vacuum column with water first, then turn off the two switches at the top, fill the container hanging on the descending channel with water, fill the container prepared at the top with water, and then pressurize the inside of the sealed shell until the internal pressure can press the water to the top of the vacuum column, and then increase the pressure to the top of the vacuum column so that the water will not boil at low pressure. At this time, loosen the switch rope at the bottom of the vacuum column, turn on the outlet switch of the double-rod screw pump, and the container begins to descend. The entire system is started up. When gas appears at the top of the vacuum column, open a switch below the top of the vacuum column to let the gas in, then close it, open the upper switch, inject water, close it again, open the lower switch to let water into the vacuum column, and then let the gas in. Close the lower switch, and repeat this process until the gas is completely exhausted. During exhaust, only one of the upper and lower switches can be opened at the same time. At the same time, the twin-rod screw pump can also be replaced with a gear pump, a single-rod screw pump, a three-rod screw pump, or a cam pump. An inspection door is installed on the outer shell, but the door must be sealed to ensure that the sealing conditions of the shell are not destroyed. An inflation tube is installed on the shell, and a switch and a pressure gauge are installed on the pipe to facilitate inflation into the sealed shell and observation of the air pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0005] First fill the pool with water. The vacuum column is 35 meters above the water surface of the pool and has a cross-sectional area of ​​1 square meter. A twin-rod screw pump is installed 34 meters above the water surface. The twin-screw pump discharges 0.052 cubic meters of water per rotation. Under four standard atmospheric pressures, the horizontal displacement of water is 500 revolutions per minute and the twin-screw pump sprocket diameter is 0.3 meters. It requires a weight of 360 kg to drive it. It takes 3.5 seconds to reach the horizontal level from a height of 34 meters. Before starting the entire system, turn off the switch at the bottom of the vacuum column, turn off the switch at the water outlet of the twin-rod screw pump, turn on the two switches at the top of the vacuum column, and use a water pump to fill water into the vacuum column until the space inside the vacuum column is filled. Pressurize the inside of the sealed shell to four standard atmospheric pressures, and then fill the empty container on the descending chain with water with a water pump, and also fill the empty container on the docking position with water. At this time, the main sprocket diameter is 0.3 =meters. For every revolution of the main sprocket, the water-filled container descends 0.942 meters with all the equipment. For every revolution of the twin-rod screw pump, the sprocket at the top of the ascending channel rotates 1.1 times. The volume in the container is 1.85 cubic meters. The weight of each container is the same. The container can be used in four or five cycles. When one container ascends, another one descends. The total weight of the water in the container is distributed as follows: 360 kg is used to drive the twin-rod screw pump, 50 kg is used to assist the empty container in ascending, and the remaining power is used to drive the generator set. The generator set can be driven as large as possible. At this time, close the two switches at the top of the vacuum column, loosen the rope of the switch at the bottom of the vacuum column, and open the switch of the twin-rod screw pump outlet at the same time. Then, the water-filled container begins to rotate with the descending chain and begins to descend. When the descending container reaches the bottom, there is still 0.When the distance of 0.05 meters is reached, the next container filled with water at the top enters the descending channel and is hung on the hook of the descending chain. Before the previous container reaches the bottom, it has driven the chain to rotate. At the same time, the empty container at the bottom begins to hang on the ascending channel chain and begins to rise. Another empty container at the top begins to receive water at the water inlet. When a group of containers filled with water reach the bottom from the top, the twin-rod screw pump can fill the space in an empty container, and the cycle continues. During the operation, the water that reaches the highest point of the vacuum column from the horizontal plane is the atmospheric pressure in the sealed space and the vacuum environment in the vacuum column. Combined with the water being forced to the top of the vacuum column, the gravitational potential energy generated by the descent of the container filled with water only drives the twin-rod screw pump to move the water horizontally out from the top of the vacuum column. While transferring the water out, the twin-rod screw pump prevents air from entering the vacuum column from the sealed space, allowing the vacuum column to The empty column maintains a vacuum environment, ensuring that water is continuously pressed from below the horizontal surface to the top of the vacuum column. If air appears at the top of the vacuum column, it will be treated using the two switches and a water pump at the top of the vacuum column. First, open the upper switch of the vacuum column top switch, and the water pump will fill the space inside with water. Then close the upper switch and open the lower switch, allowing the air at the top of the vacuum column to enter the gap between the two switches. Then close the lower switch. After the lower switch is closed, open the upper switch, and water will be injected into the gap again. Then close the upper switch. These two switches and the water pump are driven by a motor and can be freely controlled from outside until all the air is exhausted. In this way, as long as the vacuum environment of the vacuum column is not destroyed, it can continue to operate and continuously generate electricity. Moreover, the power generation during this process is relatively fixed and is not affected by time, space, or weather.

Claims

1. A power generation technology based on solidifying the external air pressure vacuum environment, utilizing atmospheric pressure to increase the height difference of water and using gravitational potential energy as a power source. Atmospheric pressure is used to force water into a vacuum column in a vacuum environment to a height above the horizontal surface. However, under standard atmospheric pressure, the water can only be pressed to about 10 meters above the horizontal surface. The gravitational potential energy generated by the water sucked out from the top of the vacuum column during a descending cycle is then used as a power source. One descending cycle is the total amount of water that can be sucked out by a double-rod screw pump (gear pump, single-rod screw pump, three-rod screw pump, cam pump) driven by a weight from the highest point of the vacuum column water inlet to the horizontal surface. How can water be forced to a higher height using atmospheric pressure so that the double-rod screw pump (gear pump, single-rod screw pump, three-rod screw pump, cam pump) can suck out more water during one descending cycle to drive a larger generator set? After determining the height of the vacuum column, an outer shell is installed outside the entire system. The outer shell must be able to withstand the corresponding atmospheric pressure inside the shell and prevent the atmospheric pressure from dropping. According to the height of the vacuum column, the inside of the outer shell is inflated so that the atmospheric pressure inside the sealed outer shell can reach a level that allows the vacuum column inside the outer shell to be in a vacuum environment. The bottom of the vacuum column is immersed in water, and the water enters the vacuum column under the action of the atmospheric pressure inside the shell, so that the water can reach the top of the vacuum column and prevent the water at the top of the vacuum column from boiling under low pressure. As long as the atmospheric pressure inside the shell is high enough, no matter how high the vacuum column is, the water at the bottom of the vacuum column can reach the highest point above the horizontal plane in the vacuum column.
