Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dielectric elastomer power generation technology, specifically a novel dielectric elastomer power generation device. Background Technology
[0002] Dielectric elastomer power generation is a novel power generation device that utilizes the principle of variable capacitors to convert mechanical energy in nature into electrical energy. It has two operating modes: driving and power generation. Driving mode refers to the change in shape and size of the material when an external electric field is applied; the material returns to its original shape after the electric field is removed, thus converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Power generation mode is essentially the reverse process of driving mode, converting the mechanical energy generated by deformation into electrical energy. This power generation requires the use of dielectric elastomers. However, existing dielectric elastomer power generation devices with similar structures have several drawbacks in practical use. For example, existing devices are not convenient for utilizing the flow rate of liquid transported through pipelines for power generation, and the power generation method is relatively common. Furthermore, the installation and fixation of dielectric elastomer power generation devices are inconvenient and cumbersome. Therefore, a novel dielectric elastomer power generation device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel dielectric elastomer power generation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel dielectric elastomer power generation device, comprising a fixed tube, a docking sleeve, and a fixed box. A fixed frame is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed tube. The docking sleeve is movably installed on the outer side of the fixed tube on both sides of the fixed frame. A support ring is fixedly installed on the inner side of the docking sleeve. A rotating rod is rotatably installed on the inner side of the fixed tube. A movable rod is movably installed on the inner side of the rotating rod. A fixed box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed tube via a fixed seat. A fixed block is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed box. A dielectric elastomer body is movably installed on one side of the fixed block. A compatible electrode is fixedly installed on the surface of the dielectric elastomer body. A movable frame is movably installed on the outer side of the compatible electrode. The movable frame and the movable rod are movably connected via a sliding rod.
[0005] By cutting the middle section of the external liquid delivery pipeline to a suitable length, placing the fixed pipe within the cut area, and aligning the connecting sleeve with the cut end of the external liquid delivery pipeline, the connecting sleeve is moved outward to fit around the outer edge of the external liquid delivery pipeline port. Then, the support ring is brought into contact with and pressed against the external pipeline port, facilitating installation and fixation. When the external liquid delivery pipeline delivers liquid, the liquid is transported through the fixed pipe. During liquid delivery, a rotating rod rotates, and a movable rod drives a sliding rod to slide up and down, simultaneously moving a movable frame up and down. The movable frame then causes the dielectric elastomer body and the compatibility electrode to bend up and down, allowing the flow of liquid within the pipeline to drive the dielectric elastomer body to generate electricity.
[0006] Preferably, a retaining ring is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mating sleeve, and an external thread is fixedly connected to the outer side of the retaining tube. A bolt cap is connected to the outer thread of the external thread on the inner side of the retaining ring. By rotating the bolt cap, the external thread engages with the bolt cap, allowing the bolt cap to move outward, which simultaneously pushes the retaining ring to move the mating sleeve outward.
[0007] Preferably, a telescopic rod is slidably mounted on the inner side of the fixing frame, and a push block extending out of the fixing frame is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the telescopic rod. By driving the telescopic rod to extend out of the fixing frame, the push block contacts the fixing ring for compression and fixation, thus supporting the bolt head.
[0008] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support ring, and a limiting ring is fixedly installed around the outer side of the fixing pipe inside the docking sleeve. A sealing ring corresponding to the docking sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting ring. The sealing ring allows for sealing between the support ring and the external liquid delivery pipeline; the limiting ring limits the movement of the support ring and the fixing ring, preventing the docking sleeve from detaching; and the sealing ring seals the connection between the fixing pipe and the docking sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, a turbine blade is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the rotating rod, and the rotating rod and the fixed pipe are rotatably mounted via a shaft bracket. When conveying liquid, the liquid drives the turbine blade to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the shaft bracket allows the rotating rod to rotate.
[0010] Preferably, a fixed rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating rod, and the movable rod and the fixed rod are movably connected by a movable sleeve. By driving the rotating rod to rotate, the fixed rod is simultaneously driven to rotate, which in turn drives the movable sleeve to rotate, and the movable rod causes the movable sleeve to drive the sliding rod to slide up and down.
[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the movable frame is rotatably mounted with support wheels corresponding to the dielectric elastomer body, and one side of the dielectric elastomer body is movably mounted to the fixed box via a movable block. The support wheels provide rolling support for the dielectric elastomer body, preventing the movable frame from scratching the dielectric elastomer body, while the movable block facilitates bending of the dielectric elastomer body.
[0012] Preferably, a terminal block corresponding to the compatible electrode is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed box, and a movable door is movably installed at the front end of the fixed box. The terminal block allows connection to external wires, enabling the transmission of electrical energy generated by the compatible electrode. The movable door facilitates maintenance operations inside the fixed box.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. By setting up a rotating rod, turbine blade, movable rod, slide rod, and movable frame, and by connecting the fixed pipe to the liquid delivery pipeline, the liquid drives the turbine blade to rotate when the liquid is delivered through the pipeline. The fixed rod drives the movable sleeve to flip, and the movable rod drives the slide rod to slide up and down, which in turn drives the movable frame to slide up and down. The movable frame drives the dielectric elastomer body and the compatibility electrode to bend up and down. This allows the flow of liquid in the pipeline to drive the dielectric elastomer body to generate electricity.
[0015] 2. By setting up a fixed pipe, a fixed bracket, a bolt cap, a connecting sleeve, and a support ring, and through the cooperation between them, the middle section of the external liquid delivery pipeline is cut to a suitable length. The fixed pipe is placed in the cut area, and the connecting sleeve is aligned with the cut end of the external liquid delivery pipeline. By rotating the bolt cap, it can be moved outward, simultaneously pushing the connecting sleeve outward so that it fits around the outside of the external liquid delivery pipeline port. Then, the support ring contacts and presses against the external pipeline port. By driving the telescopic rod to extend out of the fixed bracket, the push block can support the bolt cap and simultaneously support and fix the connecting sleeve, preventing the connecting sleeve from sliding inward, thus facilitating installation and fixing.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the present invention proposes a novel dielectric elastomer power generation device, comprising a fixed tube 1, a docking sleeve 2, and a fixed box 5. A fixed frame 103 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed tube 1, and the docking sleeve 2 is movably installed on the outer side of the fixed tube 1 on both sides of the fixed frame 103. A support ring 202 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the docking sleeve 2, and a rotating rod 3 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the fixed tube 1. A movable rod 4 is movably installed on the inner side of the rotating rod 3.
[0027] The bottom of the fixed tube 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed box 5 via the fixed seat 501. The fixed block 502 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed box 5. The dielectric elastomer body 503 is movably installed on one side of the fixed block 502. The compatibility electrode 504 is fixedly installed on the surface of the dielectric elastomer body 503. The movable frame 402 is movably installed on the outer side of the compatibility electrode 504. The movable frame 402 and the movable rod 4 are movably connected via the slide rod 401.
[0028] A fixing ring 201 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the docking sleeve 2. An external thread 101 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing tube 1. A bolt cap 102 is connected to the outer thread of the external thread 101 on the inner side of the fixing ring 201. A telescopic rod 104 is slidably installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 103. A push block 105 extending out of the fixing frame 103 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the telescopic rod 104. A turbine blade 302 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 and the fixing tube 1 are rotatably installed through a shaft bracket 301. A fixing rod 303 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating rod 3. The movable rod 4 and the fixing rod 303 are movably connected through a movable sleeve 404.
[0029] The working principle of the novel dielectric elastomer power generation device based on Embodiment 1 is as follows: By cutting the middle section of the external liquid delivery pipe to a suitable length, the fixed pipe 1 is placed in the cut area, and the docking sleeve 2 is aligned with the cut end of the external liquid delivery pipe. By rotating the bolt cap 102, the external thread 101 engages with the bolt cap 102, which can move the bolt cap 102 outward. Simultaneously, the fixed ring 201 is pushed to move the docking sleeve 2 outward, so that the docking sleeve 2 is placed around the outside of the external liquid delivery pipe port. Then, the support ring 202 is brought into contact and squeezed with the external pipe port.
[0030] By extending the telescopic rod 104 to extend the fixed frame 103, the push block 105 contacts the fixed ring 201 for compression and fixation, which can support the bolt cap 102 and support and fix the docking sleeve 2 at the same time, preventing the docking sleeve 2 from sliding inward, and facilitating installation and fixation. When transporting liquid through an external liquid transport pipeline, the transported liquid is transported through the fixed pipe 1.
[0031] By using the liquid to drive the turbine blade 302 to rotate during liquid transportation, the rotating rod 3 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed rod 303 to flip. The fixed rod 303 drives the movable sleeve 404 to flip, and the movable rod 4 causes the movable sleeve 404 to slide up and down, which in turn drives the movable frame 402 to slide up and down. The movable frame 402 drives the dielectric elastomer body 503 and the compatible electrode 504 to bend up and down, which allows the flow of liquid in the pipeline to easily drive the dielectric elastomer body 503 to generate electricity.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the present invention proposes a novel dielectric elastomer power generation device.

[0034] The inner side of the movable frame 402 is rotatably mounted with a support wheel 403 corresponding to the dielectric elastomer body 503. One side of the dielectric elastomer body 503 is movably mounted to the fixed box 5 via a movable block 505. One side of the fixed box 5 is fixedly mounted with a terminal block 506 corresponding to the compatibility electrode 504, and a movable door 507 is movably mounted at the front end of the fixed box 5.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the sealing ring 203 can seal the support ring 202 with the external liquid conveying pipeline, the limiting ring 106 can limit the support ring 202 and the fixed ring 201 to prevent the docking sleeve 2 from falling off, and the sealing ring 107 can seal the connection between the fixed pipe 1 and the docking sleeve 2.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the support wheel 403 provides rolling support for the dielectric elastomer body 503, preventing the movable frame 402 from scratching the dielectric elastomer body 503. The movable block 505 facilitates the bending movement of the dielectric elastomer body 503. Figure 6 As shown, the terminal block 506 can be connected to external wires to transmit the electrical energy generated by the compatibility electrode 504, and the movable door 507 allows for convenient maintenance operations inside the fixed box 5.
