Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluid potential energy power generation technology, specifically to a device for outputting functional energy by using the gravitational potential energy of a circulating liquid. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, conventional liquid potential energy power generation devices generally suffer from the following drawbacks:

[0003] It cannot perform continuous work in a loop, relies on natural drops, and has difficulty maintaining stable output;

[0004] The pump set and power output have no redundant backup; if any equipment fails, the entire system will shut down.

[0005] Maintenance requires machine shutdown, making it impossible to perform online maintenance on the power output mechanism;

[0006] The differential pressure and power cannot be adjusted, resulting in uncontrollable output and poor adaptability.

[0007] It lacks safety relief, pressure monitoring, and temperature monitoring, resulting in low operational safety.

[0008] It is difficult to utilize existing pipeline networks for renovation, such as fire-fighting pipes and industrial circulating water pipes;

[0009] Since moving carriers (vehicle-mounted, airborne) lack anti-sway structures, liquid impact can easily damage the equipment. Therefore, a liquid circulation gravitational potential energy output device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of this, the present invention provides a device for outputting functional energy by using the gravitational potential energy of a liquid circulation system, so as to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial alternative.

[0011] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a liquid circulation gravitational potential energy output device includes a first cavity and a second cavity, a first connecting pipe is connected between the first cavity and the second cavity, a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve are respectively installed on the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe, a first liquid inlet pipe is connected to the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe, a second liquid inlet pipe is connected to the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe, and a third solenoid valve is installed on both the first liquid inlet pipe and the second liquid inlet pipe.

[0012] The outer wall of the first cavity is connected to a third inlet pipe, one end of which is connected to a first liquid pump. The outlet of the first liquid pump is connected to a first outlet pipe. A fourth solenoid valve is installed on the outer wall of both the third inlet pipe and the first outlet pipe. A first check valve is installed between the first cavity and the second cavity. Two fifth solenoid valves are symmetrically installed on the first check valve. The bottom of the first cavity is connected to a third cavity. A second check valve is installed between the third cavity and the second cavity. Two sixth solenoid valves are symmetrically installed on the second check valve. The outer wall of the third cavity is connected to a fourth inlet pipe, one end of which is connected to a second liquid pump. The pump has a second outlet pipe connected to its outlet end. A seventh solenoid valve is installed on the outer walls of both the fourth inlet pipe and the second outlet pipe. A third outlet pipe is connected to the outer wall of the first cavity. One end of the third outlet pipe is connected to the fourth cavity. One end of the third cavity is connected to a fifth inlet pipe, and one end of the fifth inlet pipe is connected to the fourth cavity. An eighth solenoid valve is installed on the outer wall of the third outlet pipe, and a ninth solenoid valve is installed on the outer wall of the fifth inlet pipe. An energy output shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fourth cavity via a bearing. One end of the energy output shaft penetrates the fourth cavity, and a liquid impact wheel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the energy output shaft.

[0013] More preferably, a valve is installed on the outer wall of the first cavity, and an exhaust valve is installed on the outer wall of the first cavity below the valve.

[0014] More preferably, safety valves are installed on the outer walls of both the second cavity and the third cavity.

[0015] More preferably, pressure gauges are horizontally installed on the outer walls of the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0016] More preferably, a temperature gauge is horizontally installed on the outer wall of the first cavity and the second cavity, and a level gauge is installed in both the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0018] I. This invention relies on a triple drive of liquid level difference, air pressure difference, and siphon to achieve closed-loop circulation. It does not require an external continuous energy source. By adjusting the pressure difference between the first and second chambers to change the flow rate, the power can be adjusted on demand. The first and second liquid pumps can replace each other. It does not stop the machine in case of a single failure, and has extremely high reliability. When the energy output shaft / generator is under maintenance, the pipeline solenoid valve can be closed and the bottom valve can be opened to maintain circulation.

[0019] Second, this invention directly utilizes the renovation of building and factory fire protection pipe networks. Power generation can be achieved by networking the upward / downward pipelines. Pressure gauges and temperature gauges provide real-time monitoring, and safety valves provide overpressure relief, ensuring safe and stable operation. Multiple inverted conical (large upper hole, small lower hole) perforated isolation plates need to be installed on the top, parallel to the liquid surface, to prevent impact and suppress liquid sloshing and impact. It is suitable for scenarios such as automobiles and aircraft. If the second liquid pump adopts an asynchronous motor + centrifugal / mixed-flow water pump structure, it can be switched to a generator to achieve dual-path energy output backup.

[0025] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a liquid circulation gravitational potential energy output device, including a first cavity 1 and a second cavity 2. A first connecting pipe 3 is connected between the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2. A first solenoid valve 4 and a second solenoid valve 5 are respectively installed on the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe 3. A first liquid inlet pipe 6 is connected to the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe 3. A second liquid inlet pipe 7 is connected to the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe 3. A third solenoid valve 8 is installed on both the first liquid inlet pipe 6 and the second liquid inlet pipe 7.

[0028] The outer wall of the first cavity 1 is connected to a third inlet pipe 9. One end of the third inlet pipe 9 is connected to a first liquid pump 10. The outlet end of the first liquid pump 10 is connected to a first outlet pipe 11. A fourth solenoid valve 12 is installed on the outer wall of both the third inlet pipe 9 and the first outlet pipe 11. A first check valve 15 is installed between the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2. Two fifth solenoid valves 16 are symmetrically installed on the first check valve 15. The bottom of the first cavity 1 is connected to a third cavity 17. A second check valve 18 is installed between the third cavity 17 and the second cavity 2. Two sixth solenoid valves 19 are symmetrically installed on the second check valve 18. The outer wall of the third cavity 17 is connected to a fourth inlet pipe 21. A second liquid pump 22 is installed at one end of the fourth inlet pipe 21. The outlet end of the second liquid pump 22 is connected to the second outlet pipe 23. The outer walls of the fourth inlet pipe 21 and the second outlet pipe 23 are both equipped with a seventh solenoid valve 24. The outer wall of the first cavity 1 is connected to the third outlet pipe 25. One end of the third outlet pipe 25 is connected to the fourth cavity 26. One end of the third cavity 17 is connected to the fifth inlet pipe 27. One end of the fifth inlet pipe 27 is connected to the fourth cavity 26. The outer wall of the third outlet pipe 25 is equipped with an eighth solenoid valve 28. The outer wall of the fifth inlet pipe 27 is equipped with a ninth solenoid valve 29. The inner wall of the fourth cavity 26 is rotatably connected to an energy output shaft 30 through a bearing. One end of the energy output shaft 30 passes through the fourth cavity 26. The outer wall of the energy output shaft 30 is fixedly connected to a liquid impact wheel 31.

[0029] In one embodiment, a valve 32 is installed on the outer wall of the first cavity 1, and an exhaust valve 33 is installed on the outer wall of the first cavity 1 below the valve 32.

[0030] In one embodiment, safety valves 20 are installed on the outer walls of both the second cavity 2 and the third cavity 17.

[0031] In one embodiment, pressure gauges 13 are horizontally mounted on the outer walls of the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2.

[0032] In one embodiment, a temperature gauge 14 is horizontally mounted on the outer wall of the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2, and a level gauge 34 is mounted on both the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2.

[0033] In operation, the invention works as follows: Before operation, the two safety valves 20 are set with safety values ​​according to the working conditions. After calibrating the pressure gauges installed at the same altitude, the pressure values ​​should be equal before operation begins. During normal operation, the first solenoid valve 4, the third solenoid valve 8, and valve 32 are normally closed. Liquid enters the first chamber 1 through the first inlet pipe 6. During feeding, the first solenoid valve 4, the second solenoid valve 5, the third solenoid valve 8, and the solenoid valves on the second inlet pipe 7 are opened. When liquid enters through the first inlet pipe 6, it is vented through the second inlet pipe 7 until the reference level gauge 34 is reached, adding to the appropriate level. Then, it enters the fourth chamber 26 through the third outlet pipe 25. When the liquid enters the fourth chamber 26, it impacts the liquid impact wheel. 31. Drive the energy output shaft 30 to rotate. Liquid enters the third chamber 17 through the fifth inlet pipe 27. Liquid in the third chamber 17 enters the second chamber 2 through the second check valve 18. Liquid fills all pipes and chambers. Liquid level is between the first liquid pump 10 and the first connecting pipe 3, close to the first connecting pipe 3. Exhaust ends in the first inlet pipe 6 and the second inlet pipe 7. Close the third solenoid valve 8. The first liquid pump 10 and the second liquid pump 22 start simultaneously. Liquid level in the first chamber 1 rises, upper gas pressure increases. Liquid level in the second chamber 2 falls, upper gas pressure decreases. According to the gas pressure difference and liquid level difference between the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2, drive the liquid impact wheel 31 to rotate. Energy output shaft 30 outputs energy.

[0034] Pressure reduction, pressure increase, or simultaneous or separate operation:

[0035] When the solenoid valves on both sides of the two check valves are closed, the second chamber depressurizes and the first chamber pressurizes, either individually or simultaneously.

[0036] The second chamber 2 reduces pressure, while the first chamber 1 increases pressure. This can also increase the pressure difference between the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2, thereby increasing the speed and flow rate of the liquid, driving the liquid impact wheel 31 to rotate faster, and increasing the output power. In short, adjusting the pressure values ​​of the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2 can adjust the output power, based on the siphon principle.

[0037] Close the third solenoid valves 7 and 8 and valve 32, and open the first solenoid valve 4 and the second solenoid valve 5 separately. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the first liquid pump 10 pumps liquid into the first chamber 1, generating a liquid level difference to do work. Observe the difference between the two pressure gauges 13 when they are running smoothly. If the difference exceeds the normal value, check whether the second liquid pump 22 is damaged. If it is damaged, repair it in time or operate synchronously. If the pressure of pressure gauge 13 on the second chamber 2 is greater than the pressure of pressure gauge 13 on the first chamber 1, it means that the first liquid pump 10 is damaged. If it is damaged, repair it in time. If the liquid impact wheel 31 is damaged, close the eighth solenoid valve 28 and the ninth solenoid valve 29, and repair the liquid impact wheel 31. When the first liquid pump 10 and the second liquid pump 22 are repaired, because of the presence of the first check valve 15 and the second check valve 18, the liquid can continue to circulate and can continue to operate and output energy, but the power is reduced.

[0038] If the second liquid pump 22 adopts an asynchronous motor + centrifugal / mixed flow water pump structure, when the liquid impact wheel 31 is under maintenance, the electrical wiring method is switched and the second liquid pump 22 is used as a generator. If the generator connected to the energy output shaft 30 is under maintenance, it can be used as a backup for the second liquid pump 22. When either the second liquid pump 22 or the first liquid pump 10 is under maintenance, they can be used as backups for each other.

[0039] If the fire pipes of a factory or residential building are converted into generators, this device can be used. If there is a large difference in liquid level, the one with the higher liquid level is the second chamber 2. Open the third solenoid valve 8 to input compressed gas from the first liquid inlet pipe 6 so that the pressure of the two pressure gauges 13 installed on the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2 are equal. Close the third solenoid valve 8 to perform pressure compensation. This device can be used in a simulated manner.

[0040] If there are three or more fire-fighting pipes, one pipe can be used as the upward pipe and the rest as the downward pipes. Each pipe is equipped with two liquid output pumps and a generator connected to the energy output shaft 30 for power generation.

[0041] The cooling method should be selected based on the applicable scenario, such as fan, liquid cooling, or natural air circulation cooling. The insulation method can be indoor installation or bidirectional temperature regulation by connecting an air compressor, pressure tank, or venturi tube. Everything depends on the usage scenario, and the cooling method should be adopted accordingly.

[0042] When the energy output shaft 30 is connected to the generator and other parts for maintenance, close the eighth solenoid valve 28 and the ninth solenoid valve 29, open the valve 32 installed below the first chamber 1 to continue forming a liquid circulation path, and at the same time close the first check valve 15 and the fifth solenoid valve 16 and the sixth solenoid valve 19 at both ends. If the second liquid pump 22 below is installed according to the structure of asynchronous motor + centrifugal / mixed flow water pump, and the electrical wiring method is changed, the second liquid pump 22 below can be used as a backup generator for use in moving vehicles such as cars and aircraft. The first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2, which are parallel to the liquid surface, need to be equipped with multiple inverted conical (large upper hole and small lower hole) perforated isolation plates to prevent impact. When the energy output shaft 30 is connected to the generator and other parts for maintenance, close the eighth solenoid valve 28 and the ninth solenoid valve 29 at both ends, open the valve 32 installed below the first chamber 1 to continue forming a liquid circulation path.

[0043] If the two motors of the first liquid pump 10 and the second liquid pump 22 are selected to be variable frequency motors, and the motors are driven by the grid electricity, and the energy output shaft 30 is connected to the motors to sell electricity to the grid, if external power is lost due to external failures such as rainstorms, snowstorms, typhoons, etc., the motors of the two first liquid pumps 10 and the second liquid pump 22 will lose power at the same time, which can avoid the islanding generation effect. According to the electricity load of the household, factory or company, the power can be adjusted, the liquid pump can be started with the backup power supply, and the electrical cabinet connected to the generator can be used to supply power to the first liquid pump 10 and the second liquid pump 22, so that the power supply can continue for self-use;

[0044] When ethanol is used as the liquid circulation medium, the gas needs to be replaced with an inert gas, etc., to ensure safety even if there is static electricity or leakage in the shell.

[0045] When selecting suitable liquid media for use in winter or at low or ultra-low temperatures, the compatibility and performance of materials and properties of various shells, pipes, solenoid valves, etc., must be considered.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
