Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power generation equipment technology, specifically to a multi-set, labor-saving lever reciprocating cycle drive power generation system. Background Technology

[0002] Power generation equipment typically draws on natural energy sources such as thermal, hydro, and wind power. For example, thermal power plants are driven by steam turbines, hydropower plants by water turbines, and wind power plants by wind turbines. They convert natural energy into mechanical energy, which is then used to generate electricity through a generator based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Since the energy source for this type of power generation equipment is derived from the conversion of natural energy, it does not achieve energy value-added. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-lever reciprocating cycle-driven power generation system, which uses several reciprocating levers as the source of power to convert the smaller torque of the lever power arm into a larger torque to drive the ratchet and speed-increasing gear to drive the generator to rotate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A multi-lever reciprocating cycle drive power generation system is provided. The system is equipped with a lever mechanism, which includes several levers. One end of each lever is a power arm, and the other end is a resistance arm. A ratchet mechanism is provided at the end of the resistance arm. The ratchet mechanism steps to drive a speed-increasing gear set. The end of the speed-increasing gear set is connected to a generator. The length ratio of the lever power arm to the resistance arm is 5:1 to 12:1.

[0005] Lever mechanisms are usually in even numbers, such as 2, 4, 6, or 8. Even numbers of levers make the system rotate more smoothly and evenly.

[0006] The speed-increasing gear set includes gear A, which rotates synchronously with the ratchet on the same axis. Gear A meshes with gear B, gear B rotates synchronously with gear C on the same axis, gear C meshes with gear D, and the shaft of gear D is connected to the input shaft of the generator via a coupling.

[0007] The ratchet mechanism includes an outer wheel fixedly connected to the end of the lever resistance arm. The inner ring of the outer wheel is an inner ratchet ring, which meshes with ratchet teeth. There are several ratchet teeth, which are evenly distributed and hinged on the outer ring of the inner wheel. The sides of the ratchet teeth are connected to the outer wall of the inner wheel through springs. The central hole of the inner wheel is connected to the rotating shaft through a flat key.

[0008] The circular ratchet mechanism can transform the intermittent motion of the lever into the stepwise rotation of the shaft, resulting in a smooth rotation process.

[0009] Gear A and gear B are meshed as herringbone gears.

[0010] Gear C and gear D mesh as herringbone gears. The tooth profile of the herringbone gears is suitable for high-load rotation and can reduce the noise generated by mechanical rotation.

[0011] The lever arm has a counterweight attached, and the upper end of the arm is connected to a winch via ropes and a pulley system. The pulley system may include fixed pulleys and movable pulleys, with the movable pulley fixed to the lever to form a force-saving structure.

[0012] The speed ratio of the speed-increasing gear set is 1:20 to 1:60.

[0013] The lever mechanism's levers alternately rise and fall, providing continuous power to the ratchet and maintaining the power generation system's continuous operation. Advantages of the present invention

[0014] 1. This invention utilizes alternating levers and pawls, as well as a speed-increasing gear set for transmission, to convert the up-and-down force of the levers into the rotation of the generator input shaft, thereby achieving energy conversion and value-added.

[0015] 2. The present invention has a compact structure, a clear power transmission path, and is easy to maintain and repair. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main structural principle of Example 1; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the speed-increasing gear set structure in Example 1; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a lever ratchet mechanism; The numbers and component names in the diagram are as follows: 1-Winder; 2-Counterweight; 3-Lever; 31-Outer wheel; 4-Ratchet; 41-Inner wheel; 42-Ratchet; 43-Spring; 5-Gear A; 6-Gear B; 7-Gear C; 8-Gear D; 9-Generator. Detailed Implementation Example 1

[0017] A multi-lever reciprocating cycle drive power generation system is provided in the system. The lever mechanism includes two levers 3. One end of each lever 3 is a power arm and the other end is a resistance arm. A ratchet mechanism is provided at the end of the resistance arm. The ratchet mechanism steps to drive a speed-increasing gear set. The end of the speed-increasing gear set is connected to a generator 9. The length ratio of the power arm to the resistance arm of the lever 3 is 10:1.

[0018] The speed-increasing gear set includes a gear A5 that rotates synchronously with the ratchet 4 on the same axis. Gear A5 meshes with gear B6, gear B6 rotates synchronously with gear C7 on the same axis, gear C7 meshes with gear D8, and the shaft of gear D8 is connected to the input shaft of the generator 9 via a coupling.

[0019] The ratchet mechanism includes an outer wheel 31 fixedly connected to the end of the resistance arm of the lever 3. The inner ring of the outer wheel 31 is an inner ratchet ring, which meshes with ratchet teeth 42. There are several ratchet teeth 42, which are evenly distributed and hinged on the outer ring of the inner wheel 41. The sides of the ratchet teeth 42 are connected to the outer wall of the inner wheel 41 through springs 43. The central hole of the inner wheel 41 is connected to the rotating shaft through a flat key.

[0020] Gear A5 and gear B6 mesh as herringbone gears.

[0021] Gear C7 meshes with gear D8 as a herringbone gear.

[0022] The lever 3 has a counterweight attached to its power arm, which weighs 460 kg. The upper end of the power arm is connected to the winch 1 via a rope and pulley system.

[0023] The speed ratio of the speed-increasing gear set is 1:40.

[0024] The lever 3 of the lever mechanism alternately moves up and down. Example 2

[0025] The difference from Example 1 is that the lever mechanism includes four levers, which alternately move up and down.

[0026] Application Examples: In Example 1, the winch power is 7.5KW*4 sets = 30KW, the generator rated power is 200KW, the load is 160KW, and after the winch works for 1 hour, the winch consumes 30KW of electricity, which can drive the 160KW load to run normally, which proves that the present invention has added value.
