Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of micro-hydropower generation equipment, specifically relating to a micro-hydropower generation device using tap water source. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower, as an important component of renewable energy, is gaining increasing weight in the global energy mix due to its clean and sustainable characteristics, becoming a crucial means of alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pressures. The tap water supply system is a vast and complex network, encompassing all stages from water source intake, purification, pressurization and transportation to end-user consumption. Significant energy waste occurs throughout this process. For example, as tap water flows from a high-level source to a low-level user, it carries substantial kinetic and potential energy; simultaneously, during the pressurization and transportation stage, pumps provide additional pressure energy to the water flow. This energy is often not effectively utilized in traditional tap water supply systems, but rather lost as the water flows. Therefore, developing a micro-hydropower generation device using tap water as a source has become a pressing technical challenge. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a micro-hydropower generation device for tap water sources. The inlet and outlet pipes are connected to the tap water pipeline via pipe joints. The device utilizes the kinetic and potential energy generated as water flows from a high-level water source to a low-level user. Alternatively, in the tap water pressurization and transportation process, a water pump provides additional pressure energy to the water flow, driving a spiral blade to rotate as it passes through the working pipe. The rotation of the spiral blade drives the first rotating shaft to rotate. A first magnet at the right end of the first rotating shaft drives a second magnet at the left end of a second rotating shaft to rotate via magnetic force. The rotation of the second magnet drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives a generator to generate electricity. This converts the kinetic energy of the flowing tap water into electrical energy, effectively utilizing the energy of the flowing tap water in the tap water supply system instead of letting it be wasted.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A micro-hydropower generation device using tap water source includes an inlet pipe, a working pipe, an outlet pipe, and a power generation mechanism. The working pipe is horizontally arranged, with its top right side connected to the bottom of the inlet pipe and its bottom left side connected to the top of the outlet pipe via a pipe. Two mounting rods are vertically arranged inside the working pipe, each with a first rotating shaft. A cylindrical first magnet is located at the right end of the rotating shaft, and a helical blade is located on the left side of the shaft. The power generation mechanism includes a mounting frame, a second rotating shaft, and a generator. The two ends of the mounting frame are fixed to the inlet and outlet pipes, respectively. The generator is fixed to the mounting frame, which has a limiting plate. The second rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the limiting plate, with its right end connected to the generator and its left end equipped with a second magnet. The first and second magnets are correspondingly arranged.

[0006] The inlet and outlet pipes are each equipped with a pipe joint, and both pipe joints contain a filter screen.

[0007] The working tube has a threaded connection port on its left end face, and a sealing screw block is provided on the threaded connection port.

[0008] The second rotating shaft is equipped with a conductive slip ring, and the second magnet on the second rotating shaft is an electromagnet.

[0009] The mounting bracket has a control box on its side, and the control box contains a controller.

[0012] This utility model provides a micro-hydropower generation device for tap water sources. The inlet and outlet pipes are connected to the tap water pipeline via pipe joints. The device utilizes the kinetic and potential energy generated as water flows from a high-level water source to a low-level user. Alternatively, in the tap water pressurization and transportation process, a water pump provides additional pressure energy to the water flow, driving a spiral blade to rotate as it passes through the working pipe. The rotation of the spiral blade drives the first rotating shaft to rotate.
