Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of torque transmission equipment for power machinery, and specifically to a ring-shaped power unit lever drive device. Background Technology
[0003] Currently, the mainstream power generation drive equipment is mainly thermal power generator sets and hydropower generator sets. Both types of units adopt a transmission structure that centrally outputs torque through a main shaft.
[0004] Hydroelectric generator sets rely on the water energy generated by the drop in water level to drive the turbine runner and rotate the main shaft, while thermal generator sets rely on the heat energy generated by coal combustion to convert into steam potential energy to drive the turbine main shaft. Both types of traditional generator sets derive their power from natural resources, presenting significant industry shortcomings. 1. Extremely dependent on resources: Hydropower generation must rely on rivers, water level differences and other water conservancy geographical conditions; Thermal power generation continuously consumes coal fossil resources and depends on fuel production, storage and transportation supporting systems.
[0005] 2. Strict site selection constraints: The construction of the generating units must match the resource-producing areas, and there is no freedom in the layout, resulting in poor site adaptability.
[0006] 3. Limited drive structure: Traditional units have a fixed structure with a single spindle and a single generator. One spindle can only drive a single large generator, which cannot achieve synchronous expansion of multiple units and has extremely low power configuration flexibility.
[0007] 4. High energy consumption and pollution during operation: Thermal power generation continuously consumes a large amount of fossil energy and generates waste gas and waste residue pollutants during operation; Hydropower generation is affected by the dry season and flood season, and cannot output power stably and evenly throughout the year.
[0008] Existing power generation drive structures are highly dependent on converting natural resources into power, and their outdated structural models, poor scalability, and strong site limitations make them difficult to adapt to the needs of power generation drive that are ubiquitous, modular, and flexible. Based on the structural defects of existing technologies, this invention proposes a ring-shaped power unit lever drive device. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The technical problem to be solved The present invention aims to solve the technical problems of existing thermal and hydropower generation equipment that rely on the conversion of natural resources to obtain main shaft power, which are highly dependent on resources, have limited site selection, high energy consumption and supporting costs, and the traditional single main shaft structure can only match a single generator and has poor power expansion.
[0010] This invention abandons the traditional natural resource conversion driving mode and provides a driving device with external electrical energy as input power and a ring multi-unit lever converging transmission, realizing a modular power output structure that is resource-independent, site-versatile, and can simultaneously drive multiple generators. Technical solution
[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a ring-shaped power unit lever drive device, including a closed ring track, multiple power units, lever rods and a central torque output main shaft.
[0012] The device adopts a circular layout with a centrally concentrated torque output shaft. The closed-loop track is an integrated closed-loop structure. Multiple power units are evenly spaced along the circumference of the closed-loop track, forming a circular motion pair with the track.
[0013] Each power unit is hinged to an independent lever rod, and the two ends of the lever rod are connected to the outer wall of the power unit and the hinge seat at the upper end of the central main shaft through hinge pins, forming multiple independent and synchronous lever transmission structures.
[0014] The device features three adaptable track structures: a pure magnetic levitation non-contact track structure, a magnetic levitation track structure with traveling rollers, and a mechanical rolling track structure with traveling rollers, which can adapt to different loads and working conditions.
[0015] The power unit is a closed integrated shell structure, which integrates a drive component, a power supply adapter component and a built-in emergency battery. The drive component is a drive motor, which is used to drive the power unit to move along a closed circular track. A standard power supply interface is set on the outside of the shell, which is compatible with external AC and DC power input. The built-in emergency battery is fixedly installed inside the shell for short-term voltage stabilization to cope with short-term power supply fluctuations.
[0016] Overall working process of this device: After external electrical energy is connected to the power unit, it drives the power unit to make stable circular motion along a closed loop track. During the circular motion, the power unit continuously pulls the corresponding lever rod to make periodic swinging motion. Multiple sets of lever rods synchronously converge the dispersed power in the circumferential direction to the hinge seat of the central torque output spindle, superimposing and aggregating to form a stable central rotational torque. The central torque output spindle outputs mechanical power outward, which can synchronously match and drive the operation of multiple generators. Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with existing traditional thermal power and hydroelectric turbine main shaft drive structures, this invention has the following outstanding technical advantages: 1. Completely change the traditional power acquisition model and break free from dependence on natural resources. This device does not use natural resources such as hydropower or coal thermal energy as a power source. It uses conventional external electricity as the initial driving force throughout the process. It does not require water conservancy or topography, fossil fuels, or resource production sites. It can be deployed and operated as long as there are conventional power supply conditions, and its site adaptability is extremely wide.
[0018] 2. Breaking through the limitations of traditional single-spindle single-machine operation, achieving synchronous drive of multiple units. Traditional generator spindle structures can only drive a single generator one-to-one, and cannot be expanded or stacked. This invention adopts a multi-unit ring lever torque-converging structure, where the central output torque can stably and synchronously drive multiple generators to work together according to the equipment configuration scale, realizing modular power allocation and completely solving the structural shortcomings of poor scalability of traditional units.
[0019] 3. Strong adaptability to working conditions and high structural versatility. This device is compatible with three track structures: pure magnetic levitation, magnetic levitation with rollers, and mechanical rollers. It can be adapted to different working conditions such as light load, heavy load, high precision, and normal operation. It has high structural compatibility and covers a wide range of applicable scenarios.
[0020] 4. Strong power supply adaptability and high operational stability The equipment supports both AC and DC external power supply and is equipped with a built-in emergency battery, which can buffer short-term power supply fluctuations and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the entire transmission structure. Its fault tolerance is better than that of traditional single power source units.
[0021] 5. Simple construction and supporting facilities, reducing investment and environmental burden. This device requires no construction of water conservancy hubs, no supporting facilities for fuel storage and transportation, smoke and slag removal, and heat energy conversion, resulting in lower infrastructure investment; and it operates without combustion consumption or waste gas and slag emissions, making it green and environmentally friendly.
[0022] 6. The transmission structure is stable, and the power flow is uniform and reliable. It adopts a mechanical structure with multiple independent levers for synchronous torque transmission and centralized convergence at the center. The power of multiple units is evenly superimposed and aggregated, resulting in stable torque output, low mechanical transmission failure rate, and strong overall structural reliability.

[0024] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures: 1-Power unit, 2-Closed circular track, 3-Lever rod, 4-Central torque output spindle, 5-Traveling roller.
[0025] The traveling rollers are an optional assembly structure and can be adapted to be placed at the corresponding position of the power unit according to the type of track. Detailed Implementation
[0026] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a complete and clear account of three specific embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1 (Pure magnetic levitation track structure) This embodiment adopts a pure magnetic levitation non-contact track structure. The closed loop track is an integrated closed loop structure, which is concentrically arranged with the central torque output main shaft.
[0028] The power unit is mounted above the magnetic levitation track, forming a non-contact levitation structure with the track. In this embodiment, no traveling rollers are installed, and there is no mechanical friction loss during overall operation.
[0029] Multiple power units are evenly arranged along the circumference of the circular track. Each power unit has a lever hinged to its outer wall. The inner ends of all levers are uniformly hinged and fixed to the hinge seat at the upper end of the central torque output spindle.
[0030] After the power unit is connected to external electrical energy, it relies on its internal drive motor to perform a suspended circular motion along a ring track, continuously driving the lever components to oscillate periodically. Multiple sets of levers synchronously converge the circumferential power to the central main shaft, aggregating to form a stable rotational torque. The central torque output shaft rotates and outputs power, which can simultaneously drive multiple generators to work. An emergency battery is fixedly installed inside the power unit housing, and the external power supply interface is compatible with AC and DC power input, which can be adapted to different power supply scenarios and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
[0031] Example 2 (Magnetic levitation track + traveling roller structure) In this embodiment, the main track structure is a magnetic levitation track structure, and the bottom of the power unit is equipped with rotating walking rollers.
[0032] Under normal operating conditions, the power unit relies on the magnetic levitation effect to maintain a non-contact levitation state with the track, and the traveling rollers are suspended in the air without contacting the track. Under start-up, stop-and-go, load fluctuation, and voltage stabilization conditions, the traveling rollers can assist in conforming to the track for limit support, thereby improving the stability and safety of equipment operation.
[0033] The overall layout, lever hinge structure, power input and torque convergence working process are completely consistent with those of Example 1. Through multi-unit circular motion and multi-lever synchronous torque convergence, the central spindle achieves stable power output, which is suitable for medium and high load complex working conditions.
[0034] Example 3 (Pure mechanical track + traveling roller structure) This embodiment adopts an integrated mechanical closed-loop track, with a traveling roller fixedly mounted at the bottom of the power unit, and the traveling roller and the mechanical track forming a rolling engagement structure.
[0035] The power unit relies on electric energy to drive the smooth circular rolling along the mechanical track, which drives the levers to swing synchronously. The power of multiple levers is uniformly gathered to the central torque output shaft, superimposed and aggregated mechanical torque and output outward, realizing stable and continuous mechanical power output, which meets the needs of conventional industrial power generation drive.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
