Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power generation technology, specifically to a multi-purpose eddy current rotary power generation system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of global environmental problems and the growing demand for sustainable energy, the development of new energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies has become an urgent priority. In many industries, the rational utilization of water resources and energy conservation remain critical issues that urgently need to be addressed. For example, in fire-fighting water supply systems, traditional power supply methods rely on mains electricity or fuel generators, which are not only energy-intensive but also pose a risk of power outages in emergencies. Water supply networks and heating networks consume large amounts of electricity to drive water pumps, resulting in high costs and environmental concerns. In industrial production, large quantities of cooling water are discharged after only completing heat exchange, failing to effectively utilize the energy it contains. Agricultural irrigation and drainage are often limited by unstable power supply or high costs, impacting agricultural production efficiency.

[0003] Meanwhile, rainwater, as a natural water resource, has not received sufficient attention or effective development in its collection and utilization. In many areas, rainwater is simply wasted, failing to be converted into usable energy or water reserves. Therefore, developing a system that can fully utilize rainwater resources for power generation and then use the generated water for multiple purposes has extremely important practical significance and broad application prospects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a multi-purpose eddy current rotary power generation system. To achieve the above objective, this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A multi-purpose eddy current rotary power generation system includes a rainwater collection tank, a power generation component, and a lifting component. The rainwater collection tank, power generation component, and lifting component are connected by pipes. The power generation component includes an eddy current rotary device and a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator. The three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator is fixed on the eddy current rotary device. The water flow in the pipes drives the eddy current rotary device to rotate. The eddy current rotary device is used to generate electricity from the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator.

[0006] When rainfall occurs, rainwater is collected in a rainwater collection tank through rooftop and ground-level collection facilities. As the water level in the collection tank rises, when it reaches a certain height, the valve on the first outlet pipe is opened according to system settings or manual operation, allowing the rainwater to flow into the vortex rotating device under gravity. Inside the vortex rotating device, the rainwater forms a high-speed vortex guided by a specially designed flow channel. The high-speed rotating vortex impacts the impeller on the rotating shaft, causing the impeller to drive the rotating shaft to rotate at high speed. The generated electricity is transmitted through cables to grid-connected equipment and connected to the mains power grid.

[0007] As an improvement, a first inlet pipe is provided between the vortex rotating device and the rainwater collection tank, and a valve is provided on the first inlet pipe. The first inlet pipe is located at the bottom of the rainwater collection tank.

[0008] As an improvement, the outlet end of the vortex rotating device is provided with a second water inlet pipe, the lifting component is provided on the second water inlet pipe, the lifting component includes a booster pump, and the end of the second water inlet pipe is connected to a water-using device.

[0009] As an improvement, the diameter of the first outlet pipe is larger than the diameter of the second inlet pipe.

[0010] As an improvement, the eddy current rotating device has a rotating shaft in the middle, an impeller is provided on the rotating shaft, and a central shaft is provided on the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator, with the rotating shaft fixedly connected to the central shaft.

[0011] As an improvement, the power generation assembly also includes a grid-connected device electrically connected to a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator.

[0012] As an improvement, the valve is either manual or electric, and is used to adjust the speed and torque of the vortex rotating device.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model's vortex rotation device design can fully utilize the kinetic energy of water flow, effectively converting it into the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft, thereby driving a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator to produce electrical energy. Compared with traditional hydroelectric power generation equipment, its energy capture efficiency of water flow is significantly improved, reducing energy waste and enabling water resources to achieve higher energy conversion efficiency while meeting water demand.

[0015] 2. In the entire power generation and water use process, rainwater or other water sources, after being treated by the system, will not produce any pollutant emissions except for specific uses such as fire fighting, industrial cooling, and agricultural irrigation. The water after power generation can still participate in the natural water cycle or be further recycled, without causing negative impacts on the surrounding environment, meeting environmental protection requirements, and contributing to the protection of ecological balance and the sustainable use of water resources.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments to enable a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment discloses a multi-purpose eddy current rotary power generation system.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a rainwater collection tank 1, a power generation component, and a lifting component. The rainwater collection tank 1, the power generation component, and the lifting component are connected by pipes. The power generation component includes an eddy current rotating device 2 and a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3. The three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3 is fixed on the eddy current rotating device 2. The water flow in the pipe drives the eddy current rotating device 2 to rotate. The eddy current rotating device 2 is used to generate electricity for the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3.

[0029] The rainwater harvesting tank 1 is constructed of concrete or high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal. Its design capacity is determined based on local rainfall, application requirements, and site conditions. A rainwater collection inlet is located at the top of the tank, which can be connected to various rainwater collection facilities such as roof rainwater drainage pipes and ground rainwater collection ditches. A preliminary screening device is installed at the collection inlet to intercept larger debris such as leaves and branches, preventing them from entering the tank.

[0030] The generator used in this embodiment is a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator.

[0031] A first water outlet pipe 4 is provided between the vortex rotating device 2 and the rainwater collection tank 1. A valve 5 is provided on the first water outlet pipe 4, and the first water outlet pipe 4 is located at the bottom of the rainwater collection tank 1.

[0032] The main body of the vortex rotating device 2 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal material. Its internal structure is uniquely designed to form a stable and efficient vortex when water flows through, thereby driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The inlet end of the first outlet pipe 4, which is connected to the rainwater collection tank 1, is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the rainwater collection tank 1.

[0033] The bottom of the rainwater collection tank 1 is designed with a certain slope to facilitate the centralized discharge of rainwater, and an outlet is set at the lowest point to connect with the first outlet pipe 4.

[0034] The outlet end of the vortex rotating device 2 is provided with a second water inlet pipe 6, and the lifting component is provided on the second water inlet pipe 6. The lifting component includes a booster pump 7, and the end of the second water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water-using equipment 11.

[0035] The booster assembly is installed on the second inlet pipe 6 at the outlet of the vortex rotating device 2, and is mainly composed of a booster pump 7. The second inlet pipe 6 starts at the outlet of the vortex rotating device 2 and its end is connected to various water-using equipment 11, such as fire sprinklers, cooling pipe inlets of industrial cooling equipment, and water supply pipes of agricultural irrigation systems.

[0036] The diameter of the first outlet pipe 4 is larger than the diameter of the second inlet pipe 6.

[0037] Since the diameter of the first outlet pipe 4 is larger than the diameter of the second inlet pipe 6, this configuration results in the same energy consumption as before the installation of the vortex rotation device 2, so that the booster pump 7 will not increase energy consumption.

[0038] The eddy current rotating device 2 has a rotating shaft 8 in the middle, an impeller 9 on the rotating shaft 8, and a central shaft on the generator. The rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the central shaft.

[0039] The three-phase four-wire 380V generator has a central shaft inside, which is rigidly connected to the rotating shaft 8 of the eddy current rotating device 2 through a high-precision coupling or key connection to ensure the synchronization and stability of the two during rotation.

[0040] The power generation components also include grid-connected equipment 10, which is electrically connected to a three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3.

[0041] The grid-connected device 10, as a power transmission unit, is electrically connected to the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3 via a cable to transmit the power generated by the generator.

[0042] Valve 5 can be manual or electric, and is used to adjust the speed and torque of the vortex rotating device 2.

[0043] When rainfall occurs, rainwater is collected in the rainwater collection tank 1 through rooftop and ground collection facilities. As the water level in the rainwater collection tank 1 rises, when it reaches a certain height, the valve 5 on the first outlet pipe 4 is opened according to system settings or manual operation, and the rainwater flows into the vortex rotating device 2 under the action of gravity. Inside the vortex rotating device 2, the rainwater forms a high-speed vortex under the guidance of a specially designed flow channel. The high-speed rotating vortex impacts the impeller 9 on the rotating shaft 8, causing the impeller 9 to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate at high speed. Since the rotating shaft 8 is rigidly connected to the central shaft of the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3, the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 drives the rotor of the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3 to cut magnetic field lines in the magnetic field. According to the law of electromagnetic induction, electrical energy is generated in the stator windings of the generator. The generated electrical energy is transmitted to the grid-connected equipment 10 through cables for transmission. The electrical control management system in the grid-connected equipment 10 monitors, manages, and distributes the electrical energy in real time. After being generated by the vortex rotating device 2, the rainwater flows from its outlet into the second inlet pipe 6. Under the action of the booster pump 7 of the lifting component, the rainwater pressure is increased to meet the water pressure requirements of different water-using equipment 11. The electricity generated by the three-phase four-wire 380V AC generator 3 is connected to the municipal power grid of the booster pump 7 through the grid-connected equipment 10, so that it can be consumed locally, reducing the consumption of the municipal power grid and thus achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0044] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but they are merely examples, and this utility model is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to this utility model are also within the scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of this utility model.
