Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technology of generating electricity using liquid gravity utilizes the process of liquid falling from a height into a container, causing the equipment to rotate and converting gravitational energy into mechanical energy, and then mechanical energy into pressure energy. A piston is installed inside the container, and there is a high outlet. When the pressure energy pushes the piston, it generates pressure, causing the liquid in the container to flow out of the high outlet and be collected inside the container. It makes full use of the area difference between the piston and the outlet, which can easily push the liquid from a low place to a high place. The pressure energy is amplified by the area ratio between the two pistons in a sealed container, which makes it easier to push the liquid to a high place, and the excess liquid weight drives the generator to rotate. Background Technology

[0002] The technology of generating electricity using liquid force utilizes three main techniques. The first technique utilizes the gravity generated as liquid in a container descends from a height to a lower height, driving a chain that then rotates gears, which in turn rotate a generator and cause left-right moving linkages. During these movements, the linkages push against a piston, converting mechanical energy into pressure energy. The second technique utilizes the area difference between two moving pistons within a sealed container to amplify the pressure energy. The third technique involves a container with a piston and a pipe connecting to a higher location. The pipe's opening area is significantly smaller than the piston's area. When the container is filled with liquid, the amplified pressure pushes the piston, forcing the liquid upwards. Regardless of the height from which the container descends, gravity remains constant, but the torque changes. By increasing the pressure in the container and decreasing the size of the outlet pipe, liquid can be easily propelled from a lower to a higher location. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technology of generating electricity using liquid gravity includes: a liquid storage tank, cylinders, a left-right movable connecting rod, pistons, pipes, a one-way valve, a fixed container, switches, gears, brackets, shafts, bearings, sprockets, chains, a container, hooks, and a slow-descent platform. The installation method is as follows: Install the liquid storage tank on the ground. Install two cylinders in the tank, fixing them inside the liquid tank. The liquid level should be higher than the cylinder height. The cylinder openings should face each other. Install the left-right movable connecting rod between the two cylinders. Install pistons at the top of both ends of the connecting rod. One piston is at the bottom of one cylinder, and the other is at the opening of the other cylinder. The pistons move along the cylinder from the opening to the bottom and back to the opening. During this movement, the pistons adhere to the inner wall of the cylinder, providing a seal. The left-right movable connecting rod moves along... The cylinder is symmetrically oriented vertically through a hollow structure, with teeth symmetrically installed on both sides. A gear, with teeth at a 130-degree angle, is installed at the center point of the teeth. The remaining portion is empty. When this gear rotates, the toothed part engages with the upper gear but not with the lower gear. When the gear disengages from the upper gear, it immediately engages with the lower gear, and vice versa. As the gear rotates, the connecting rod moves horizontally left and right, pushing the piston within the cylinder. A shaft is installed at the center point of the gear, with one end of the shaft fixing the gear. Two bearings are installed next to the gear, securing the shaft within the liquid tank. Two identical gears are installed and fixed inside the bearings, and two fixed sprockets are then fixed inside the two gears. Two movable sprockets are installed inside the wheel. A bracket is installed beside the liquid storage tank, extending significantly above the tank as needed. A shaft is installed at a point perpendicular to the lower shaft on the top of the bracket, secured to the bracket by bearings. Two movable sprockets are installed inside the bearings, corresponding to the lower fixed sprockets. A fixed sprocket is installed at a corresponding position. The upper movable sprocket is connected to the lower fixed sprocket by a chain, which drives the lower connecting rod to move left and right. The lower movable sprocket is connected to the upper fixed sprocket by a chain, which drives the generator set to rotate. A gear is installed at one end of the shaft. The generator set is installed on top of the bracket, and its external gear engages with the gear at the outer end of the top shaft. Two ports are installed on the outer bottom of the two cylinder pistons in the liquid tank. One of the pipes is equipped with a one-way valve. When the piston moves from the bottom to the opening of the cylinder, liquid flows from the liquid reservoir into the cylinder, and the one-way valve opens, allowing liquid from the reservoir to enter the cylinder. When the piston moves from the opening to the bottom of the cylinder, liquid flows out, and the one-way valve closes. The other opening is also equipped with a pipe and a one-way valve. When liquid flows out of the cylinder, this one-way valve opens; when liquid flows in, this one-way valve closes. The pipes from both cylinders are connected to a container fixed at the bottom. The container is cylindrical, with a piston installed in the middle. The piston can move along the inside of the cylinder, creating two sealed spaces inside the container. There are also two openings on the outer sides of the inner sides of the cylinder, one of which is connected to the pipe from one of the cylinders.Another pipe connects to the other port, and switches are installed on each. These switches are driven by a motor and controlled by a controller. A T-junction connects the two switches to the pipe at the other port, and another pipe leads directly to the container parking track at the top of the support. When liquid flows out of the bottom cylinder under the action of the piston, the liquid enters one side of the piston inside the fixed container. The switch on the other side of the piston, leading to the top pipe, opens, causing the liquid in the other container to push towards the top of the support. When the other cylinder injects liquid into the other side of the fixed container, the switch on that side leading to the top pipe closes, and the switch on the other side leading to the top pipe opens. The area of ​​the piston inside the cylinder is several times smaller than the area of ​​the piston inside the fixed container. The area difference between the two parts is determined according to the needs, and the area of ​​the pipe opening leading to the top of the support is also determined according to the actual needs. On the side of the two unused gears on the bottom shaft, a movable gear is installed above the container lowering chain, which is connected to the two unused gears on the shaft. A sprocket is installed on the inner side of the middle of the gear. The sprocket and gear are fixed together and fixed to the support by the shaft. A sprocket is installed on the outer side of the lowering chain and connected to the movable chain below. A track is installed between the top of the chain and the lowering chain, slightly lower than the lowering chain end, and fixed to the support so that the empty container falls on it and slides to the side of the lowering chain. On the chain that drives the cylinder to rotate left and right movable connecting rods and the chain that drives the generator set to rotate. Hooks are symmetrically installed along the descent chain to allow containers filled with liquid to descend while suspended on the chain. Hooks are also installed on the ascending chain to hook empty containers as they rise to the top. The hooks must also be symmetrical. The containers are cuboid or circular in shape and have a pin switch at the bottom. When the container is on the descent platform, the pin of the pin switch, under pressure, pushes upward to open the spring, allowing the liquid to flow out. After the container rises and leaves the descent platform, the pin closes upward under the spring's action, sealing the bottom of the container. A shaft is installed at the center point of the container's top, extending beyond the container's outer edge. The extension of the shaft should be sufficient to simultaneously hook the hooks on all three sets of chains. The container should be positioned on the inner side of the descent chain during the descent direction. To ensure the liquid extends slightly beyond the container, it can be placed on the track, above the previous container, allowing the liquid flowing from the pipe to flow directly into the next container. A baffle is installed above the descent chain near the track. This baffle, spring-loaded, locks in front of the track, preventing liquid-filled containers from entering the chain descent channel. A pedal is installed on the deceleration platform, connected to the baffle by a chain. When the container reaches the bottom of the deceleration platform, its extended axis presses against the pedal, causing the baffle to move downwards, allowing the liquid-filled container on the track to enter the chain descent channel. The chain hook awaits the container. As the container stops on the deceleration platform, the pedal returns to its original position, and the baffle springs back, locking the next container. Attached Figure Description

[0004] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the transmission of force. Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the descent and ascent of the container. 1 and 2 represent the cylinder, 3 the left and right movable connecting rods, 4 the gear, 5 and 6 the pistons of the cylinder, 7 and 8 the pipes for liquid flowing into the cylinder, 9 and 10 the pipes for liquid flowing out of the cylinder to the fixed container, 11, 12, 13, and 14 the one-way valves, 15 the fixed container, 16 the piston of the fixed container, 17 the pipe for supplying liquid to the top, 18 and 19 the switches, 20 and 21 the chains that drive the generator and gears during vertical descent, 22 the chain that carries the empty container upwards, 23 the container, and 24 the track. Detailed Implementation

[0005] The setup is as follows: each container has a volume of 2 cubic meters, weighs 2 tons when filled with liquid, the volume inside the cylinder is 0.2 cubic meters, the ratio of the piston area inside the cylinder to the fixed piston area is 1:30, the diameter of the gear driving the connecting rod is 1 meter, and the area of ​​the top pipe outlet is 1 square decimeter. Due to factors such as the container driving the gear rotation also driving the empty container to rise during its descent, a force of 1 ton is transmitted to the cylinder piston. When the first container filled with liquid begins to descend from the top 35 meters, it drives the chain of the left and right movable connecting rods to descend, starting to drive the left... The right movable linkage moves left and right. When a piston pushes into the cylinder with a force of 1 ton, a seal is formed between the cylinder and part of the space inside the fixed container. This causes the piston inside the fixed container to exert a force of 30 tons, pushing the liquid in the other part of the fixed container upwards. A pressure of 300 kg per square centimeter is enough to push the liquid from the horizontal plane to a height of 35 meters. The liquid flowing out from the top first flows into the empty container placed at the top. When the left and right movable linkages move in the other direction, the pipes and switches connected to the top inside the fixed container change. One changes from open to closed under the drive of the motor, and the other changes from closed to closed under the drive of the motor. The system switches to open, then supplies liquid to the top. Simultaneously, another cylinder, under atmospheric pressure, draws liquid from the storage tank, creating a continuous cycle that supplies liquid to the top. When the container that moves left and right with the connecting rod descends halfway, the upward-supplying liquid fills an empty container. This container then enters the descent channel, hooks onto the chain that drives the generator set, and begins its descent, powering the generator. When the container that moves left and right with the connecting rod reaches the bottom, the next empty container is filled. When this container stops on the slow-descent platform, the next one is filled. The liquid container enters the descent channel, restarting the linkage's left-right movement. The container on the slow-descent platform begins to drain its liquid under the action of the ejector pin. When the liquid in the container is drained, the hook in the ascending channel catches the empty container, and it begins to rise. When it reaches the top, it detaches from the track. When the previous empty container is filled with liquid and leaves the track, this new container stops on the track to receive the drained liquid. This process repeats. As long as the chain driving the linkage's left-right movement and the chain driving the generator set's rotation are at the same descent speed, there will always be a container filled with liquid driving the corresponding equipment to rotate.

2. According to claim 1, the liquid-filled container descends from a height, and during the descent, its own gravity drives a chain to rotate. The chain then drives a gear to rotate, which in turn drives a left-right movable linkage to move left and right, transmitting the force to the piston at the top of the linkage. The cylinder and the fixed container are then sealed together, and the area difference between the cylinder piston and the fixed container piston amplifies the force transmitted to the cylinder piston onto the piston inside the fixed container. The liquid in another space of the fixed container is then pumped to a higher location under the pressure of the piston, and the area of ​​the pipe opening at the higher location is controlled to supply the next empty container at that height. The liquid, in a container that drives the equipment to rotate, reaches the bottom and is then hung on a chain to continue providing power to the equipment. When the container reaches the bottom, the liquid is discharged, and the empty container is then moved to a higher position via the chain. This cycle continues, constantly providing power to the equipment. At the same time, by increasing the descent height of the liquid-filled container, its working height is increased. By increasing the area ratio between the piston in the cylinder and the piston in the fixed container, the force of the liquid-filled container is amplified. By controlling the area of ​​the pipe opening leading to the higher position, the liquid can be sent back to the higher position. In addition to driving the recycling of liquid, it can also drive the rotation of other equipment, such as the rotation of a generator set.
