[0002] At present, hydropower generation is a common method of power generation. In hydropower generation, water diversion is usually used to store energy, and the pressure is released by releasing water, thereby using the energy of the pressure release to generate electricity. However, this method is more suitable for large power stations. For medium or small power stations, buoyancy power generation is usually used, such as the continuous gravity potential energy power generation device disclosed in Chinese patent document CN107061134A, which includes a water storage cylinder, the upper end of the water storage cylinder is connected to a float discharge pipe, and the lower end of the water storage cylinder is connected to a float inlet pipe; a gravity transmission mechanism is provided at the port of the float discharge pipe, the gravity transmission mechanism has an upper bearing seat and a lower bearing seat, and upper and lower rotating wheel pairs are supported on the upper bearing seat and the lower bearing seat, and the upper and lower rotating wheel pairs are equipped with transmission parts; downwardly suspended hanging baskets are installed at intervals on the transmission parts; the hanging baskets are matched with the floats.
[0003] According to the above-mentioned prior art, the floating ball rises and then uses its own weight to drive the circulating transmission mechanism to operate and generate electricity. In actual application equipment, the floating ball is an important component in the entire power generation process. This is because multiple floating balls need to have a uniform rising speed in the water, and a certain gravity is required on the gravity transmission mechanism to ensure smooth operation. However, the existing floating ball cannot guarantee the adjustment of the floating speed in the water under a certain weight. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of floating ball to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a gravity float with multiple layers of independent airbags to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, including a spherical body, the spherical body includes a gravity ball, an inflatable or deflated buoyancy unit is arranged around the outside of the gravity ball, the outside of the buoyancy unit is wrapped with a jacket, and a plurality of independently inflatable or deflated airbag ball modules are arranged inside the buoyancy unit.
[0006] In the above-mentioned multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, the buoyancy unit includes a first inflatable layer and a second inflatable layer, the first inflatable layer is wrapped and arranged on the outside of the second inflatable layer, the first inflatable layer is provided with a first air nozzle and a second air nozzle, the second inflatable layer is connected with an air valve extension tube, the air valve extension tube is connected to the second air nozzle, the first inflatable layer and the second inflatable layer are both provided with airbag ball modules, and the gravity ball is located in the second inflatable layer.
[0007] In the above-mentioned multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, the airbag ball module includes multiple first airbags and multiple second airbags, multiple first airbags are evenly distributed in the first inflation layer, multiple second airbags are evenly distributed in the second inflation layer, and multiple second airbags are arranged on the outer wall of the gravity ball.
[0008] In the above-mentioned multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, the plurality of first airbags are all connected to a third air nozzle located on the outer shell, and the plurality of second airbags are all connected to a fourth air nozzle located on the outer shell through an extension tube.
[0009] In the above-mentioned multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, the buoyancy unit includes an inflation space, the outer shell is provided with an inflation nozzle connected to the inflation space, the gravity ball is located in the inflation space, and the airbag ball module includes a plurality of intermediate spheres distributed around the gravity ball, and the plurality of intermediate spheres are each provided with an intermediate sphere nozzle extending to the outside of the outer shell.
[0010] In the above-mentioned multi-layer independent airbag gravity float, the gravity ball is composed of a solid metal ball and heavy metal powder.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the gravity ball is wrapped by the buoyancy unit and the buoyancy unit is inflated. At the same time, with the cooperation of multiple airbag ball modules, the gravity ball with a certain weight can float in the water, and because the buoyancy unit and the multiple airbag ball modules can be inflated or deflated separately, the buoyancy unit and the multiple airbag ball modules have stable air pressure, and the air pressure in each space will not fluctuate. The floating speed of the entire sphere can also be adjusted to make the rising speed of the sphere uniform, and each space forms an independent and stable buffering effect, so that the gravity ball can float in the water under a certain weight, making the entire circulating power generation system smoother.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] Example 1
[0019] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The gravity float of a multi-layer independent airbag shown in the figure includes a sphere 1, which includes a gravity ball 6. The outside of the gravity ball 6 is surrounded by an inflatable or deflated buoyancy unit, the outside of the buoyancy unit is wrapped with a jacket 4, and a plurality of independently inflatable or deflated airbag modules are arranged inside the buoyancy unit. In this embodiment, the gravity ball 6 is wrapped by the buoyancy unit and the buoyancy unit is inflated. At the same time, with the cooperation of the plurality of airbag modules, the gravity ball 6 with a certain weight can float in the water. Moreover, since the buoyancy unit and the plurality of airbag modules can be inflated or deflated separately, the buoyancy unit and the plurality of airbag modules have stable air pressure, and the air pressure in each space will not fluctuate. The floating speed of the entire sphere 1 can also be adjusted to make the rising speed of the sphere 1 uniform, and each space forms an independent and stable buffering effect, so that the gravity ball 6 can float in the water under a certain weight, making the entire circulating power generation system smoother.
[0020] The buoyancy unit of this embodiment includes a first inflatable layer 8 and a second inflatable layer 9, wherein the first inflatable layer 8 and the second inflatable layer 9 are both independent spaces formed by resin fabric spheres, the first inflatable layer 8 is wrapped and arranged on the outside of the second inflatable layer 9, the first inflatable layer 8 is provided with a first air nozzle 2 and a second air nozzle, the second inflatable layer 9 is connected to an air valve extension tube 10, the air valve extension tube 10 is connected to the second air nozzle, the first inflatable layer 8 and the second inflatable layer 9 are both provided with airbag modules, and the gravity ball 6 is located in the second inflatable layer 9; the first inflatable layer 8 and the second inflatable layer 9 can be inflated or deflated respectively through the first air nozzle 2 and the second air nozzle, so that the two independent spaces have a certain air pressure, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the airbag modules in the first inflatable layer 8 and the second inflatable layer 9, the sphere 1 has greater buoyancy.
[0021] The gravity ball 6 is composed of a solid metal ball and heavy metal powder, and can be wrapped by a resin fabric layer. In some other embodiments, the gravity ball 6 can also be formed by a single solid metal ball or heavy metal powder.
[0022] The airbag module of this embodiment includes a plurality of first airbags 11 and a plurality of second airbags 12. The plurality of first airbags 11 are evenly distributed within the first inflatable layer 8, the plurality of second airbags 12 are evenly distributed within the second inflatable layer 9, and the plurality of second airbags 12 are disposed on the outer wall of the gravity ball 6. Thus, the plurality of first airbags 11 and the plurality of second airbags 12 can each provide a relatively large air pressure space, thereby increasing the buoyancy of the sphere 1. Specifically, the plurality of first airbags 11 are all connected to a third air nozzle located on the outer shell 4, through which the first airbags 11 can be inflated or deflated, thereby adjusting the speed of buoyancy. At the same time, the plurality of second airbags 12 are all connected to a fourth air nozzle located on the outer shell 4 via an extension tube, which can also be used to inflate or deflate the second airbags 12, thereby providing more adjustable buoyancy for the entire sphere 1.
[0023] It is also worth noting that the first airbag 11 and the second airbag 12 of this embodiment can both be made of resin fabric spheres, as long as they can be inflated and deflated in corresponding independent spaces.
[0024] like Figure 5 The power generation system shown in the figure includes a water pipe 13. The ball 1 of this embodiment floats in the water pipe 13, so that the ball 1 is discharged from the ball outlet pipe 14 on the upper side of the water pipe 13 and falls into the circulating turntable 15 below. A plurality of ball grooves 16 are provided on the circumference of the circulating turntable 15. The ball 1 falls into the ball grooves 16. Under the gravity of the ball 1, the circulating turntable 15 rotates, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity. The generator is provided on the circulating turntable. On the center side of 15, the ball 1 moves to the lowest end on the circulating turntable 15 and then falls into the ball tube 17, so that the ball 1 re-enters the water pipe 13 and floats again, thereby circulating through multiple balls 1, so that the circulating turntable 15 is continuously running. Under the effect that the ball 1 can adjust the buoyancy, a relatively heavier gravity ball 6 can be set, so that the circulating turntable 15 can run more smoothly under a larger gravity, and the floating speed of multiple balls 1 in the water pipe 9 can be made more uniform.
[0025] It is worth noting that a closed cover assembly is provided on the ball groove 16 to prevent the ball 1 from accidentally detaching when the circulating turntable 15 rotates. The closed cover assembly is irrelevant to the technical problem to be solved by this application, and the structure of the closed cover assembly will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, the buoyancy unit wraps the gravity ball 6 and inflates the buoyancy unit. At the same time, with the cooperation of the plurality of airbag modules, the gravity ball 6 having a certain weight can float in the water. Moreover, since the buoyancy unit and the plurality of airbag modules can be inflated or deflated independently, the buoyancy unit and the plurality of airbag modules have stable air pressure, and the air pressure in each space does not fluctuate. The buoyancy speed of the entire sphere 1 can also be adjusted to make the rising speed of the sphere 1 uniform. Moreover, each space forms an independent and stable buffering effect, so that the gravity ball 6 can float in the water under a certain weight, making the entire cyclic power generation system smoother.
[0028] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the buoyancy unit of the present embodiment includes an inflation space 5, an inflation nozzle 2 connected to the inflation space 5 is provided on the outer shell 4, the gravity ball 6 is located in the inflation space 5, and the airbag ball module includes a plurality of intermediate spheres 7 distributed around the gravity ball 6, and the plurality of intermediate spheres 7 are all provided with intermediate sphere nozzles 3 extending to the outside of the outer shell 4; the inflation space 5 can be inflated through the inflation nozzle 2 to increase the buoyancy, and the intermediate spheres 7 can also be inflated through the intermediate sphere nozzles 3 to further increase the buoyancy.
[0029] 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.
