Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy technology, in particular to a gravity buoyancy engine. Background Art

[0002] An engine, such as an internal combustion engine, is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Conventional internal combustion engines, such as gasoline and diesel engines, are widely used. However, they consume non-renewable fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel, and emit large amounts of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, placing significant pressure on the environment. Therefore, there is a need to research and develop clean, environmentally friendly engines. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gravity buoyancy engine, which has the effect of outputting power by performing external work under the energy interaction of gravity and buoyancy, and has the effect of clean energy and environmental protection.

[0004] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a gravity buoyancy engine, including an annular conveying member, multiple containers fixed on the annular conveying member, and a power output shaft connected to the annular conveying member. The number of the containers is an even number and each two form a group. The two containers in each group are symmetrically arranged around the annular conveying member. A gas bag is fixed in each container, and a gravity ball is fixed on the outside of one side of the gas bag. The corresponding two gas bags are connected by a connecting hose, and a one-way valve is installed on the end of the connecting hose near the gas bag.

[0005] The present invention is further configured as follows: the container may be in a hemispherical socket shape, a bowl shape, a dish shape, a cone shape, or other concave shapes; and the density of the gravity ball is greater than the density of water.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the outer portion of one side of the gas bag is fixedly and sealedly connected to the inner wall of the container. The gravity ball can be made of metal such as iron or concrete, as long as its density is greater than that of water and it can exert a downward pressure in water.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas bag can be made of flexible rubber material, other sealed flexible materials, etc. After being fixed and sealed to the inner wall of the container, the gas bag and the inside of the container form a closed space.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: when one of the two corresponding gas bags is in an expanded state, the other gas bag is in a contracted state.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: the communicating hose is fixed on the annular conveying member, and the communicating hose is a flexible hose.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting hose is fixed on the annular conveying member and moves along with the annular conveying member.

[0011] The present invention is further configured to include a control device for controlling the one-way flow direction of the one-way valve.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the control device is used to control the one-way valve to switch the flow direction of the gas in the one-way valve. The specific design of the one-way valve can be selected from the existing technology as needed.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the container is used to accommodate a portion of the corresponding gravity ball or the entire corresponding gravity ball. The shape of the gravity ball is various. The present invention is further configured as follows: the annular conveying member includes an annular chain and at least two sprockets, and the power output shaft is fixed to one of the sprockets.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular conveying member can be in the form of a chain or a belt.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: there are multiple annular conveying members, and the multiple annular conveying members share a power output shaft.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple gravity buoyancy engines can be designed in parallel, sharing a power output shaft to output power as one engine.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the annular conveying member is located in water.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the gravity buoyancy engine and the annular conveying member can be designed with a part above the water surface and the rest below the water surface, or can be designed with the entire member submerged in water.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the engine is working, when the upper container passes the top dead center, the air in the gas bag is squeezed downward by the gravity ball under the action of gravity, and the air is transferred to the symmetrical container below. At the same time, the lower container just passes the bottom dead center, and the gravity ball of the lower container is also pulled downward and outward by gravity in the water to open the gas bag. At the same time, the air above is quickly transferred to the lower container under the dual action of the gravity ball above the water surface and the gravity ball below. There is a connecting hose between all the symmetrical containers. The buoyancy generated by the expansion of all the gas bags drives the annular conveyor to rotate and outputs power through the power output shaft. When the number of gas bags is large enough and the volume is large enough, greater buoyancy can be generated. The present invention can be used in natural waters as well as in artificial waters, with a variety of usage scenarios. It cleverly utilizes gravity and buoyancy to achieve power output.

[0022] Example 1: Gravity buoyancy engine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the apparatus comprises an annular conveyor 1 and sixteen containers 2 fixed to the annular conveyor 1. The containers 2 have a hemispherical socket, bowl, or other shape. The sixteen containers 2 are divided into eight groups, each containing two containers 2. The two containers 2 are symmetrically distributed around the annular conveyor 1, meaning that the circumference of the conveyor on either side of the two containers is equal. Each container 2 is secured with a gas bag 3. The edges of the gas bag 3 are secured and sealed to the inner wall of the container 2, forming a sealed cavity with the inner wall of the container 2. The upper and lower gas bags 3 are connected by a connecting hose 5. When the upper gas bag is in a contracted state, the connected lower gas bag is in an expanded state. The connecting hose 5 is fixed to the annular conveyor 1 and is flexible. A weight ball 4 is fixed to the outer wall of each gas bag 3. The annular conveyor 1 includes at least two upper and lower sprockets and an annular chain mounted between the sprockets. A power output shaft 6 is fixed to one of the sprockets. The material of the gravity ball can be metal materials such as iron, or materials such as concrete. As long as the density is greater than the density of water and it can play the role of gravity in water, it can be used.

[0023] Working principle: Place the annular conveyor 1 in water or other liquids, with the top of the annular conveyor 1 above the water surface 7 and the rest below the water surface 7. The engine rotation can be designed to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. All containers 2 move around the annular conveyor 1. In the movement trajectory of the container 2, the top dead center is above the vertical center line of the upper and lower axes of the annular conveyor 1, and the bottom dead center is below the vertical center line of the upper and lower axes of the annular conveyor 1. Figure 1In the figure, taking the clockwise rotation design as an example, the container 2 at the top dead center and the container 2 at the bottom dead center are two connected containers 2 in the same group. Once the top container 2 passes the top dead center, the upper gravity ball 4 squeezes the upper gas bag 3 under the action of gravity, so that the gas in the upper gas bag 3 is transferred to the inside of the symmetrical lower gas bag 3 through the connecting hose 5. The engine of this patent is a low-speed, high-torque engine. Because it takes time for the container to travel the distance from the top dead center to entering the water, it is best to transfer all the air to the lower gas bag 3 before entering the water to reduce the resistance of the container when entering the water. In the process of the upper gravity ball transferring air to the lower gas bag 3, the lower container just passes the bottom dead center. After passing the bottom dead center, the gravity ball on the lower gas bag pulls the lower gas bag downward under the action of gravity, which represents inhalation. The dual action facilitates the rapid circulation of the upper air to the lower side. At this time, the air inlet of the lower container is provided with a mechanical gravity flap one-way valve, other mechanical one-way valves, other electrically controlled one-way valves, etc. This is to further prevent the gas bag in the container 2 from generating buoyancy upwards and squeezing the air in the lower gas bag 3 upwards due to water pressure. After the gas bag 2 passes the top dead center, the one-way valve opens to facilitate the downward transfer of the air above. The lower gas bag 3 generates buoyancy after expansion. All the expanded gas bags 3 generate greater buoyancy to drive the annular conveyor 1 to move, and output power through the power output shaft 6. If the number of gas bags is large enough, the volume of the gas bags is large enough, and the water depth is deep enough, the engine can have a greater output power. Power output can be achieved even when the engine is not in water. The engine draft can be designed to any depth.

[0024] Example 2: Gravity buoyancy engine, Figure 1 The gravity buoyancy engines can be designed in parallel to form a plurality of integral engines, and the engine transmission parts share a power output shaft to output power.
