Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power generation equipment, in particular to a gravity floating ball conveying device for a gravity power generation system. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, the power generation efficiency of generators has been significantly improved, and the actuation loss of mechanical structures can be minimized through precision manufacturing. Then, through different energy conversion and mechanism combinations, it will no longer be empty talk to generate autonomous circulation power from potential energy, kinetic energy, inertia and other energies.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN118601819A discloses a device for generating electricity using the earth's gravity. A ball is placed on a guide plate and rolls onto the L-shaped placement plate. Under the action of gravity, the ball pushes the first chain downward. When the L-shaped placement plate on the first chain moves to the bottom, the L-shaped placement plate gradually tilts, and the ball rolls down and enters the connecting pipe through the inlet. The first hydraulic cylinder is activated, and the first hydraulic cylinder pushes the ball to the right through the first piston. When the first piston moves to the right side of the inlet, the second hydraulic cylinder is activated, driving the second piston to move to the right. At the same time, the first piston continues to push the ball to move. After the ball moves to the bottom of the water storage bucket, the ball floats upward and moves evenly and accelerates. After the ball floats to the top of the water storage bucket, it rushes out of the water surface of the water storage bucket due to inertia. Under the guidance of the curved pipe, the ball moves to the guide plate, passes through the guide plate and moves to the L-shaped placement plate. Under the action of gravity, the L-shaped placement plate drives the first chain to rotate, thus forming a cycle. The first chain continuously drives the first sprocket and the second sprocket to rotate, so that the generator continuously generates electricity.

[0004] However, in the structure of the prior art disclosed above, when the first piston pushes the ball to the second piston, the second piston will be pushed away, causing the water in the water bucket to rush out downward from the position where the second piston is pushed away. When the ball floats up, even if the second piston is reset, there is still a gap between the first piston and the second piston, that is, the water entering the connecting pipe will be squeezed out toward the inlet. As time goes by, the connecting pipe is easily filled with water, causing the first piston to continue to move to the right. The water will either be squeezed out from the inlet or the second piston will be pushed away in advance, directly causing the water bucket to continue to rush out downward and overflow directly from the inlet, eventually causing the power generation system to collapse or fail. This ball conveying structure appears unstable. Utility Model Content

[0020] Example 1

[0021] Combine Figure 1 To him Figure 3The gravity float ball conveying device for a gravity power generation system shown in the figure comprises a water pipe 1, a flow intercepting and returning ball unit is provided at the lower end of the water pipe 1, a ball outlet pipe 11 is provided on one side of the upper end of the water pipe 1, a water tank 4 is provided on one side of the flow intercepting and returning ball unit, and a ball return pipe 6 is provided at an angle on the other side, so that the flow intercepting and returning ball unit cuts off the liquid channel in the water pipe 1 and recovers the liquid in the flow intercepting and returning ball unit into the water tank 4, and a third gate valve switch 9 is provided between the flow intercepting and returning ball unit and the ball return pipe 6; when the float ball enters the ball return pipe 6, the flow of the water pipe 1 can be intercepted by the flow intercepting and returning ball unit, and the water in the flow intercepting and returning ball unit can be recovered into the water tank 4, so that the flow intercepting and returning ball unit The liquid level in the element is lowered, and then the third gate valve switch 9 is opened to prevent the liquid from leaking out from the return ball pipe 6, and at the same time the float ball enters the interception return ball unit, and then the third gate valve switch 9 is closed, and the channel between the interception return ball unit and the water pipe 1 is opened, and finally the water in the water tank 4 is discharged into the water pipe 1 to restore the liquid level of the water pipe 1, so that the float ball can further rise by buoyancy, thereby improving the circulation stability of the float ball 41, so that the power generation system can generate electricity uninterruptedly. The entire float ball recovery cycle process can prevent a large amount of liquid leakage, make the power generation system more stable, and prevent power generation failure caused by a large amount of liquid leakage.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the intercepting ball return unit of this embodiment includes an intercepting pipe 14 coaxially arranged with the water pipe 1, a first gate valve switch 7 is provided between the water pipe 1 and the intercepting pipe 14, a connecting pipe 2 is provided on the side of the intercepting pipe 14 close to the water tank 4, the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the water tank 4 through the second gate valve switch 8 and the two-way water pump 3, and the other side of the intercepting pipe 14 is connected to the ball return pipe 6 through the third gate valve switch 9. Before the float falls into the ball return pipe 6, the second gate valve switch 8 and the third gate valve switch 9 are in the closed state. After the float enters the ball return pipe 6, the first gate valve switch 7 is closed to intercept the flow, and the second gate valve switch 8 is opened. The two-way water pump 3 pumps the liquid in the intercepting pipe 14 into the water tank 4, so that the liquid level is lower than the ball return pipe 6, and then the third gate valve switch 9 is opened to allow the float to enter the intercepting pipe 14. At this time, the third gate valve switch 9 is closed, and the two-way water pump 3 discharges the liquid in the water tank 4 into the intercepting pipe 14. At this time, the first gate valve switch 7 can be opened until the liquid in the water tank 4 is discharged, and the second gate valve switch 8 is closed. This cycle is repeated to ensure that the liquid cannot leak out in large quantities from the ball return pipe 9.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a ball-pushing unit 10 is installed on one side of the upper end of the water pipe 1 of this embodiment to push the float 41 into the ball outlet pipe 11. The float can enter the ball outlet pipe 11 under the push of the ball-pushing unit 10, improving the circulation stability of the float and ensuring that the float floating upward in the ball outlet pipe 11 falls into the gravity circulation unit, thereby achieving uninterrupted power generation of the circulating power generation system and making the power generation system more stable.

[0024] Specifically, the ball-pushing unit 10 includes a housing, an opening 15 is formed in the portion of the water pipe 1 located in the housing, the inlet end of the ball outlet pipe 11 is located in the opening 15, a jacking hydraulic cylinder 17 is provided in the housing, the cylinder body of the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17 is hinged to the lower end of the housing, an arc-shaped ball holder 18 is hinged on the hydraulic shaft of the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17, and a thrust hydraulic cylinder 16 is provided on one side of the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17, the hydraulic shaft of the thrust hydraulic cylinder 16 and the cylinder body of the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17 are hinged to each other. When the float rises to the opening 15, the thrust hydraulic cylinder 16 pushes the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17 to swing toward the ball outlet pipe 5, and the jacking hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the arc-shaped ball holder 18 to push and lift the float upward, so that the float falls into the ball outlet pipe 11. The structure is simple, ensuring that each floating float can enter the ball outlet pipe 11, preventing accumulation, and ensuring the circulation of the float.

[0025] like Figure 4 In the circulating power generation system shown in the figure, a wheel 19 is installed between the ball return pipe 6 and the ball outlet pipe 11 on the gravity float conveying device of this embodiment. The wheel 19 is installed through a wheel bracket. A generator is installed on the center side of the wheel 19. A plurality of ball grooves for accommodating floats are evenly arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the wheel 19, so that the float is discharged from the ball outlet pipe 11 and falls into the ball groove. The gravity of the float itself drives the wheel 19 to rotate, so that the generator can generate electricity uninterruptedly.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this second embodiment and the first embodiment is that a circulating return pipe 5 is further provided on one side of the water tank 4, and the other end of the circulating return pipe 5 is connected to one end of the ball return pipe 6. After the first gate valve switch 7 is closed to intercept the flow, the two-way water pump 3 draws liquid into the water tank 4, and the liquid can be directly flushed into the ball return pipe 6 through the circulating return pipe 5. The ball return pipe 6 is set to a height higher than the height of the water tank 4, so that the liquid can carry the float ball entering the ball return pipe 6 to the third gate valve switch 9, preventing the ball from getting stuck. After the third gate valve switch 9 is opened, the float ball can be brought into the intercepting pipe 14. At the same time, after the second gate valve switch 8 is opened, when the two-way water pump 3 discharges the liquid in the water tank 4 into the intercepting pipe 31, it can also flush the float ball toward the lower end of the intercepting pipe 14, so that the float ball floats in the intercepting pipe 14.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] like Figure 6As shown, the difference between this third embodiment and the first embodiment is that a water supply pipe 13 is provided in communication with the water tank 4, and a water supply pump 12 is installed on the water supply pipe 13. Since the float will also carry away liquid during the circulation process, the water supply pipe 13 can be connected to an external water source or the upper end of the water pipe 1, so that the water tank 4 can be replenished through the water supply pipe 13 to prevent the float 41 from being unable to circulate due to the water level in the water pipe 1 being too low.

[0030] It is also worth noting that, in some embodiments, Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 can be combined together to form a new implementation scheme.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments may be made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these changes and modifications still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
