DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 A power supply device for a highway tunnel, comprising a base 3, wherein the base 3 is provided with a kinetic energy conversion device 1, a power transmission device 4 and a power generation device 2.

[0036] The device adopts cold-resistant and corrosion-resistant steel, the friction material and the conductive metal meet the cold-resistant requirements, the power generation system can provide power for the tunnel heating system, be used for heating and heat preservation facilities inside the tunnel, and support emergency lighting and monitoring, and the height of the pressure rod 6 and the sensitivity of the spring 7 can be adjusted according to the local road conditions.

[0037] The top of the pressure rod 6 is provided with a pressure receiving device, when a vehicle passes through the pressure receiving device, the pressure receiving device and the pressure rod 6 will be pressed down, the part of the pressure receiving device on the road surface can have the function of an oscillating marking line, which is used for prompting the driver and ensuring the safety of driving, and generates pressure power during the passing of the vehicle to collect energy.

[0038] The kinetic energy conversion device 1 is to fix the spring 7 and the pressure bar 6 through the sliding shaft 8 in sequence, and fix the sliding shaft 8 carrying the spring 7 and the pressure bar 6 in the inside of the fixator 9 through welding, so as to realize that the whole device can generate power when the vehicle passes and can quickly restore to the non-pressured state.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the power transmission device 4 comprises a transmission rod support 14 fixed on the top of the base 3, a transmission shaft rotatably connected on the transmission rod support 14, a variable speed gear 17 fixedly connected on the transmission shaft, the variable speed gear 17 comprising a large guide wheel 36 and a small guide wheel 35, the centers of the large guide wheel 36 and the small guide wheel 35 are located on the transmission shaft.

[0040] One side of the pressure bar 6 is provided with a rack structure, the pressure bar 6 is engaged with the small guide wheel 35 through the rack structure, so as to drive the small guide wheel 35 to rotate when the pressure bar 6 is pressed up and down.

[0041] The spring 7 is located at the bottom of the pressure bar 6, and the two ends of the spring 7 are fixedly connected with the pressure bar 6 and the fixator 9 respectively; the large guide wheel 36 and the small guide wheel 35 are fixedly connected, and both are fixed on the transmission shaft.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the power transmission device 4 further comprises a bearing support 12 installed on the top of the base 3, a transmission rod 15 rotatably connected on the bearing support 12 through a bearing 13, and a direction converter 18 provided on the transmission rod 15.

[0043] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the direction converter 18 comprises a conversion gear 23 and a conversion disc 20, wherein the conversion disc 20 is fixedly installed on the transmission rod 15, the conversion gear 23 is rotatably connected on the transmission rod 15, the conversion gear 23 is engaged with the large guide wheel 36, one side of the conversion gear 23 is fixedly connected with a fixed sheet 22, a circular clamping groove 37 is opened on the fixed sheet 22, a clamping vice 21 is rotatably connected on the circular clamping groove 37 and located in the conversion disc 20, a curved groove 38 is opened on the inner side of the conversion disc 20 and used in cooperation with the clamping vice 21, a limiting protrusion (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the fixed sheet 22 close to the conversion disc 20, which can limit the rotation angle of the clamping vice 21, so that the clamping vice 21 cannot completely escape from the curved groove 38 when it is in the non-pressured state.

[0044] The up and down movement of the pressure bar 6 will eventually drive the large guide wheel 36 to rotate in different directions. At the same time, the large guide wheel 36 will drive the conversion gear 23 to rotate in different directions. The conversion gear 23 drives the fixed plate 22 and the caliper 21 to rotate. When the conversion gear 23 drives the caliper 21 to rotate clockwise, the caliper 21 is subjected to the pressure of the inner surface of the curved groove 38 to generate rotation. The caliper 21 is elastically reset when it moves into the next curved groove 38 (the part of the caliper 21 in contact with the movable groove 38 is made of elastic material, so that the caliper 21 can be elastically reset after being subjected to pressure and rotating). At this time, the conversion disc 20 and the transmission rod 15 will not rotate. When the conversion gear 23 drives the caliper 21 to rotate counterclockwise, the caliper 21 presses the inner wall of the curved groove 38 and drives the conversion disc 20 to rotate, so that the conversion disc 20 and the transmission rod 15 can only rotate in a single direction.

[0045] Through the constraint of the conversion disc 20 and the caliper 21, the rotation angle is limited and the rotation direction is adjusted. When the power is transmitted from the variable gear 17 to the conversion gear, the caliper 21 and the curved groove 38 on the fixed plate 22 ensure that the rotation direction of the conversion disc 20 is consistent. The direction converter 18 unifies the power generated by multiple pressure bars 6 into a single direction of rotation through this mechanism, and transmits it to the transmission rod 15, thereby driving the subsequent power generation device 2. Finally, the rotation direction of each conversion disc 20 on the transmission rod 15 is realized through the conversion disc 20 fixed on the transmission rod 15, while avoiding the difference in the speed of each conversion disc 20 on the transmission rod 15 due to the different pressures exerted on the pressure bars 6 by the vehicle passing through different positions, thereby ensuring the stability of power transmission.

It is mainly used to fix the holder 9, the transmission rod support 14, the bearing support 12, and the generator 19, so as to ensure that each component maintains the correct relative position during operation.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The stator 25 comprises a steel groove 40, a thermoelectric power generation sheet 27, a first friction power generation sheet 28, a first conductive copper sheet 29, and a flat spring 30; wherein the steel groove 40 and the motor housing 26 are fixedly installed, the flat spring 30 is installed inside the steel groove 40, the outer surface of the steel groove 40 is provided with the thermoelectric power generation sheet 27, and the inner surface of the steel groove 40 is provided with the first conductive copper sheet 29 and the first friction power generation sheet 28.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3 , the bearing support 12 is provided with a fixing bolt hole 39, so that the bearing support 12 can be fixed on the base 3 through the fixing bolt hole 39.
