Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator technology, and in particular to a kinetic energy input mechanism for a generator. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, generators typically need to be connected to regulators and batteries. Voltage regulators can automatically adjust the generator voltage when the generator speed changes, keeping the voltage at a certain level or within a certain allowable range to prevent the generator voltage from being too high or too low, which could burn out electrical equipment and cause the battery to be overcharged or undercharged. However, because existing generator speeds vary greatly, regulators are prone to long-term overload regulation, leading to short lifespans or component burnout. Utility Model Content

The energy input device, the energy input transmission component, the energy output transmission component, and the energy release device are located on the same axis. A one-way bearing is connected to the energy input device or the energy input transmission component so that the energy input transmission component can only rotate in one direction. The energy input device is connected to a transmission input shaft, and the energy release device is connected to a transmission output shaft.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the frame assembly is connected to a main support shaft, and the input transmission component and the output transmission component are rotatably mounted on the main support shaft. A transition transmission component is provided between the input transmission component and the output transmission component and is rotatably connected to the main support shaft. The input transmission component is provided with a first transmission arm extending outward, the transition transmission component is provided with a second transmission arm extending outward, and the output transmission component is provided with a third transmission arm extending outward. The elastic device includes a plurality of first springs and a plurality of second springs.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the energy input device includes an energy input sprocket, and an energy input transmission assembly is provided on the transmission input shaft. The energy input transmission assembly includes a first transmission sprocket that rotates synchronously with the transmission input shaft and a first chain connected to the first transmission sprocket and the energy input sprocket.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the frame assembly is connected to the main support shaft, and the energy input device also includes a first gear ring, several planetary gears, and a sun gear fixed on the main support shaft and located at the center of the first gear ring. The first gear ring is fixed on the energy input sprocket, and the planetary gears are arranged between the sun gear and the first gear ring and mesh with the sun gear and the first gear ring. Each planetary gear is provided with a first transmission shaft that connects to the energy input transmission component.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the one-way bearing is mounted on the planetary gear or the energy input sprocket.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, an energy output transmission assembly is provided on the transmission output shaft, and the energy release device is an energy output sprocket.

The transmission input shaft drives the energy input device to rotate, thereby driving the energy input transmission component that rotates synchronously with the energy input device to rotate. The compression elastic device converts energy into elastic potential energy. Because the energy input device or energy input transmission component is equipped with a one-way bearing, the energy input transmission component can only rotate in one direction, so that the energy of the elastic potential energy can only be released through the rotation of the energy release device. Using an elastic device as an intermediate power transmission component can make the output speed change more gradual, reduce the workload of the generator regulator, and thus improve the working life and charging quality of the entire generator. Furthermore, mechanical energy generates electricity, and the electricity can drive the motor to rotate, saving energy consumption and improving the range. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-8This utility model proposes a kinetic energy input mechanism for a generator, including a frame assembly 1, an energy input device 2, an energy release device 4 mounted on the frame assembly 1, an energy input transmission component 31 rotating synchronously with the energy input device 2, an energy output transmission component 33 rotating synchronously with the energy release device 4, and an elastic device 3 connecting the energy input transmission component 31 and the energy output transmission component 33 to transmit power. The energy input device 2, the energy input transmission component 31, the energy output transmission component 33, and the energy release device 4 are located on the same axis. A one-way bearing is connected to the energy input device 2 or the energy input transmission component 31 so that the energy input transmission component 31 can only rotate in one direction. The energy input device 2 is connected to a transmission input shaft 6, and the energy release device 4 is connected to a transmission output shaft 7. When the transmission input shaft 6 is powered and rotates, such as when a car is braking, the transmission input shaft 6 can be engaged, and the transmission input shaft 6 drives the energy input device 31 to rotate. The rotation of device 2 drives the energy input transmission component 31, which rotates synchronously with the energy input device 2, to rotate. The compression elastic device 3 converts energy into elastic potential energy. Because the energy input device 2 or the energy input transmission component 31 is equipped with a one-way bearing, the energy input transmission component 31 can only rotate in one direction. This allows the energy of the elastic potential energy to be released only through the rotation of the energy release device 4, preventing the elastic device 3 from pushing the energy input device 2 back when the input energy is insufficient. Using the elastic device 3 as an intermediate power transmission component can make the output speed change more gradual, reducing the workload of the generator regulator and thus improving the overall working life and charging quality of the generator. The energy input device 2, the energy input transmission component 31, the energy output transmission component 33, and the energy release device 4 are located on the same axis, which can ensure reliable and effective transmission of the elastic device 3 and prevent uneven power transmission or detachment of the bearing.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 As a first embodiment of the present invention, the elastic device 3 includes at least two springs 34, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the input energy transmission member 31 and the output energy transmission member 33.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 In a second embodiment of this utility model, the frame assembly 1 is connected to a main support shaft 5. The input transmission component 31 and the output transmission component 33 are rotatably mounted on the main support shaft 5. A transition transmission component 32 is rotatably connected to the main support shaft 5 between the input transmission component 31 and the output transmission component 33. The input transmission component 31 has an outwardly extending first transmission arm 312, the transition transmission component 32 has an outwardly extending second transmission arm 323, and the output transmission component 33 has an outwardly extending third transmission arm 332. The elastic device 3 includes several first springs and several second springs. The two ends of the first springs are respectively connected to the first transmission arm 312 and the second transmission arm 323, and the two ends of the second springs are respectively connected to the second transmission arm 323 and the third transmission arm 332. The setting of the transition transmission component 32 can reduce the tilt angle of the spring, improve the efficiency of force transmission, and also improve the life of the spring. Moreover, it can connect more springs.
[0027] In both the first and second embodiments, the springs can be connected using specific spring types such as tension springs, compression springs, and bending springs. For example, a tension spring can be used to hook the first transmission arm 312 and the second transmission arm 323 at both ends, or a compression spring or bending spring can be used for connection. Figure 3 structure.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the energy input device 2 includes an energy input sprocket 21, and an energy input transmission assembly 61 is provided on the transmission input shaft 6. The energy input transmission assembly 61 includes a first transmission sprocket 611 that rotates synchronously with the transmission input shaft 6 and a first chain 612 connected to the first transmission sprocket 611 and the energy input sprocket 21. The energy input transmission assembly 61 allows the transmission input shaft 6 to be placed in different positions according to design requirements. Alternatively, the transmission input shaft 6 can be directly connected to the energy input sprocket 21 and drive the energy input sprocket 21 to rotate. Figure 4 As can be seen, the energy transmission assembly 61 has three first transmission sprockets 611. The middle one is used for tensioning, while the upper and lower first transmission sprockets 611 are mainly used to connect the transmission input shaft 6.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 It is known that the frame assembly 1 is connected to the main support shaft 5, and the energy input device 2 also includes a first gear ring 22, several planetary gears 23, and a sun gear 24 fixed on the main support shaft 5 and located at the center of the first gear ring 22. The first gear ring 22 is fixed on the energy input sprocket 21, and the planetary gears 23 are arranged between the sun gear 24 and the first gear ring 22 and mesh with the sun gear 24 and the first gear ring 22. Each planetary gear 23 is provided with a first drive shaft 25 that connects to the energy input transmission component 31. When energy is input, it first drives the energy input sprocket 21 to rotate, so that the first gear ring 22 also rotates. The first gear ring 22 rotates, the sun gear 24 is fixed, and the planetary gears 23 rotate to output, which has the effect of deceleration and rotation in the same direction, avoiding the occurrence of excessive speed. While the planetary gears 23 are rotating, they drive the energy input transmission component 31 to rotate.
[0030] Reference Figure 4 It is known that the energy input sprocket 21 is provided with two semi-circular plates, which are used to provide the installation position and limit function of the sun gear 24 and the planetary gear 23.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The transmission output shaft 7 is provided with an energy output transmission assembly 71, and the energy release device 4 is an energy output sprocket 41. The energy output transmission assembly 71 includes a second transmission sprocket 711 that rotates synchronously with the transmission output shaft 7 and a second chain 712 that connects the second transmission sprocket 711 and the energy output sprocket 41. The structural principle of the energy output transmission assembly 71 is the same as that of the energy input transmission assembly 61.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 As can be seen, a second transmission shaft 42 is provided between the energy output sprocket 41 and the energy output transmission component 33. When the elastic device 3 drives the energy output transmission component 33 to rotate, it can drive the energy output sprocket 41 to rotate through the second transmission shaft 42, thereby enabling the transmission output shaft 7 to output energy.
[0033] Reference Figure 7 It can be seen that the second transmission arm 323 is provided with a first guide crank 321 and a second guide crank 322. Each first spring is fitted onto the first guide crank 321, and each second spring is fitted onto the second guide crank 322. Both the first and second springs are compression springs or bending springs. Figure 3 As can be seen, the input transmission component 31 is provided with a first groove 311, and the output transmission component 33 is provided with a second groove 331. The first spring is sleeved on the first guide crank 321 and inserted into the first groove 311, and the second spring is sleeved on the second guide crank 322 and inserted into the second groove 331. When the input transmission component 31 rotates, the first spring is compressed to make the transition transmission component 32 rotate, and then the second spring is compressed to drive the output transmission component 33 to rotate.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 It can be seen that the first transmission arm 312, the second transmission arm 323 and the third transmission arm 332 are all in the shape of a cross, and correspondingly, a total of eight springs are used.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the frame assembly 1 includes a base plate 11, a left side plate 12, a right side plate 13, a first side plate 14 and a second side plate 15. The left side plate 12, the right side plate 13, the first side plate 14 and the second side plate 15 are all connected to the base plate 11. A main support shaft 5 is connected between the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 13. The energy input device 2, the energy input transmission component 31, the energy output transmission component 33 and the energy release device 4 are all rotatably connected to the main support shaft 5.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 It can be seen that both the first side plate 14 and the second side plate 15 are provided with rotating through holes 151. Since the first drive shaft 25 and the second drive shaft 42 will rotate around the main support shaft 5, rotating through holes 151 are required.
[0037] Reference Figure 8As can be seen, multiple energy input devices 2 can be set. There are six energy input devices 2 in the figure. Correspondingly, there are also six energy input transmission components 61. The energy input transmission components 61 connected to each two adjacent energy input devices 2 are placed symmetrically, so that the number of transmission input shafts 6 can reach four, thereby adapting to different usage scenarios.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 As can be seen, each first gear ring 22 contains two planetary gears 23. The planetary gears 23 inside adjacent first gear rings 22 rotate 90 degrees. Since different first gear rings 22 are all connected to the same first drive shaft 25, the planetary gears 23 in adjacent first gear rings 22 always maintain a 90-degree rotational difference. This 90-degree rotational difference corresponds exactly to the "+" shaped first drive arm 312. This design can reduce the transmission pressure of a single first gear ring 22, thereby improving the life of the gears.
[0039] Of course, one planetary gear 23 or five or six planetary gears can be placed in the first gear ring 22; or three planetary gears 23 can be evenly placed in adjacent first gear rings 22 and rotated at 60 degrees apart, and so on.
[0040] As can be seen from the figure, the outer periphery of the first gear ring 22 is also meshed with three outer small gears. As long as the connecting shaft protrudes from the right side plate 13, it can also be used as an input shaft for transmission.
[0041] There are also six energy release devices 4. The energy output transmission components 71 connected to each pair of adjacent energy release devices 4 are placed symmetrically, which can make the number of transmission output shafts 7 reach four. Of course, when the energy output transmission components 71 are placed asymmetrically and without overlap, the number of transmission output shafts 7 can reach six or even more. When the input energy is at a high level for a long time, more generator rotors 8 can be connected to the transmission output shafts 7, thereby generating more electricity.
[0042] This utility model has bearings or positioning shoulders provided at many connection or installation points, which will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0044] When power is applied to the transmission input shaft 6, the transmission input shaft 6 rotates, and the first transmission sprocket 611 connected to the transmission input shaft 6 rotates. The first transmission sprocket 611 drives the energy input sprocket 21 to rotate through the first chain 612. Since the first gear ring 22 is connected to the energy input sprocket 21 and is coaxially arranged, the first gear ring 22 also rotates. The sun gear 24 is fixed on the main support shaft, so the planetary gear 23, as the output end, drives the energy input transmission component 31 to rotate through the first transmission shaft 25, compressing the first spring. It should be noted that the first transmission sprocket 611, the energy input sprocket 21, the first gear ring 22, and the planetary gear... Both wheel 23 and energy input transmission component 31 can be equipped with one-way bearings. The one-way bearing can only rotate in one direction. When rotating in another direction, the one-way bearing has a paddle inside to block it, so that the one-way bearing cannot rotate in the other direction. After the first spring is compressed, the first spring drives the transition transmission component 32 to rotate, thereby compressing the second spring. After the second spring is compressed to a certain extent, it drives the energy output transmission component 33 to rotate. The energy output transmission component 33 drives the energy output sprocket 41 to rotate through the second transmission shaft 42. When the energy output sprocket 41 rotates, it drives the second transmission sprocket 711 to rotate through the second chain 712, thereby causing the transmission output shaft 7 to rotate.
