Description
Technical field of the invention
[0001] The present invention provides a device for circulating kinetic energy to reduce noise and power consumption and to generate power for recharging and reuse. State of the art
[0002] Typically, a power generation device is a piece of equipment that can convert any form of energy (e.g., mechanical energy, heat energy, light energy) into electrical energy. In addition to the photoelectric effect, the thermoelectric effect, and chemical reactions, other power generation methods are ultimately based on the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy or other forms of energy into electrical energy. The principle of electromagnetic induction is that when the rotor and stator move relative to each other, the conductor and the magnetic field generate an induced electromotive force and thus an electric current.
[0003] Furthermore, the mechanical energy required to move the rotor typically requires a continuous force acting on the rotor. Before electromotive force is generated by driving the rotor, friction losses occur in various mechanical components. In the past, the occurrence of such mechanical energy losses could only be delayed, but not avoided, by lubrication.
[0004] Regardless of the power source, a conventional power generation device usually temporarily stores the power in a battery after generating electrical energy or directly supplies it to an electrical device. However, the voltage value suitable for the electrical device, the voltage value output by the battery, and the output voltage value of the power generation device are all different. If the voltage is simply adjusted through a transformer, a large amount of electrical energy will be lost in the process. Or a large amount of electrical energy will go unused, resulting in insufficient power generation efficiency of the power generation device. Object of the invention
[0005] The main objective of the present invention is to use the solid and hollow symmetrical design of the first eccentric shaft and the second eccentric shaft to not only reduce noise but also utilize gravity and inertia to reduce the power required for the rotary drive, thereby reducing the energy loss of the drive device. Or, if the energy loss of the drive device remains unchanged, the supporting effect of gravity and inertia can be utilized to increase the power generation of the power generation device.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to use the generated electric energy for DC power supply, AC power supply or charging of a power storage element by the manner of designing the power generation device and the conversion device, whereby the power supply time of the power storage element can be extended to improve the overall industrial applicability and achieve environmentally friendly benefits.
[0007] To achieve the above objects, the structure of the present invention comprises a drive device, at least one power storage element, a first eccentric shaft having a first solid portion and a first hollow portion, a second eccentric shaft having a second solid portion and a second hollow portion, a driving element, an acceleration mechanism, a power generation device, a conversion device having a power converter module and a transformer module, at least one electrical output element having at least one DC output unit, at least one AC output unit and a feedback unit, and a human-machine interface, wherein the drive device is powered for operation by a power storage element, the first eccentric shaft is connected to the drive device and can be driven for rotation thereby, the first hollow portion and the first solid portion are arranged symmetrically,a first direction is defined running from the axial center of the first eccentric shaft to the center of gravity of the first solid section, the second eccentric shaft is connected to the first eccentric shaft by means of a driving element and is rotatable synchronously therewith, the second hollow section and the second solid section are arranged symmetrically, a second direction is defined running from the axial center of the second eccentric shaft to the center of gravity of the second solid section, the acceleration mechanism is arranged on the side of the second eccentric shaft facing away from the first eccentric shaft, the power generation device is connected to the acceleration mechanism, the conversion device is electrically connected to the power generation device, the transformer module is arranged on one side of the power converter module, the electrical output element is electrically connected to the conversion device,the AC output unit is arranged on one side of the DC output unit, the feedback unit is connected to the power storage element, and the human-machine interface is electrically connected to the conversion device.
[0008] When the power storage element supplies power to the drive device for operation, the first eccentric shaft and the second eccentric shaft are rotated synchronously by the drive element. The first and second solid sections and the first and second hollow sections are designed to assist the rotation of the first and second eccentric shafts by utilizing gravity and inertia to reduce the power required for the operation of the power generation device provided by the drive device. The first direction and the second direction always remain opposite directions to achieve gravity balance, thereby avoiding additional resistance due to the gravity of the first and second solid sections.Combined with the acceleration mechanism, the power generation efficiency of the power generation device is improved. The generated electrical energy is transferred to the electrical output element via the power converter module or the transformer device of the conversion device. Users can select the output voltage of the DC output unit or the AC output unit through the human-machine interface. The electrical energy can be returned to the power storage element via the feedback unit and stored there. This can reduce power consumption, reduce operating noise, achieve recharging and reuse of electricity, and thus improve the practicality of electricity utilization.
[0009] With the above technique, the problem of energy loss caused by the conventional use of mechanical energy and voltage conversion can be overcome to achieve the industrial applicability of the above advantages.

From the figures, it is clearly evident that the present invention comprises the following: a drive device 1 which is supplied with energy for operation by at least one power storage element 11; a first eccentric shaft 21, which is connected to the drive device 1 and can be driven by it for rotation and has a first solid section 211 and a first hollow section 212 arranged symmetrically to the first solid section 211, wherein a first direction running from the axial center O1 of the first eccentric shaft 21 to the center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 is defined; a second eccentric shaft 22, which is connected to the first eccentric shaft 21 by means of a driving element 23 and is rotatable synchronously therewith and has a second solid section 221 and a second hollow section 222 arranged symmetrically to the second solid section 221, wherein a second direction is defined running from the axial center O2 of the second eccentric shaft 22 to the center of gravity G2 of the second solid section 221; an acceleration mechanism 3 arranged on the side of the second eccentric shaft 22 facing away from the first eccentric shaft 21; a power generating device 4 connected to the acceleration mechanism 3 and assisting the power generating device 4 in power generation by maintaining an opposite relationship between the first direction and the second direction; a conversion device 5 which is electrically connected to the power generation device 4 and comprises a power converter module 51 and a transformer module 52 located on one side of the power converter module 51; at least one electrical output element 6 which is electrically connected to the conversion device 5 and comprises at least one DC output unit 61, at least one AC output unit 62 located on one side of the DC output unit 61 and a feedback unit 63 connected to the power storage element 11; a human-machine interface 7 electrically connected to the conversion device 5 to allow the user to adjust the output voltage of the DC output unit 61 or the AC output unit 62.
[0011] The above description enables an understanding of the structure of the present technology. Through the appropriate cooperation of this structure, the advantages of reducing noise and power consumption and the ability to generate power for recharging and reuse can be achieved. It is clearly seen from the figures that the drive device 1 is a DC motor or an AC motor, and the power storage element 11 is a rechargeable battery, such as a portable battery (battery pack), a home energy storage system, or an industrial and commercial energy storage cabinet. In the present embodiment, the battery is the high-performance backup power supply of a home energy storage system. The center of gravity G1, G2 of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 is offset from the axis center O1, O2, while the axis center O1, O2 remains coaxial with the power source.Therefore, in the present embodiment, a first solid section 211 and a second solid section 221, which are solid semi-cylindrical, and a first hollow section 212 and a second hollow section 222, which are hollow semi-cylindrical and correspond to the first solid section 211 and the second solid section 221, are provided. In the present embodiment, the first solid section 211 and the first hollow section 212 are provided in the first eccentric shaft 21, and the second solid section 221 and the second hollow section 222 are provided in the second eccentric shaft 22. The driving element 23 is either a gear arrangement, a pulley arrangement, or a sprocket arrangement, although in the present embodiment, it is a gear arrangement.The acceleration mechanism 3 is either a gear assembly, a pulley assembly, or a sprocket assembly, although in the present embodiment, it is a gear assembly. The power generation device 4 is either a DC generator or an AC generator that generates power based on the principle of electromagnetic induction by means of a plurality of magnetic elements and coils. The above-mentioned magnetic elements and coils are generally known in the field of power generation and will not be described or illustrated in detail here. The conversion device 5 is, for example, a printed circuit board. The power converter module 51 is a rectifier or inverter. The transformer module 52 is, for example, a transformer.The power converter module 51 and the transformer module 52 are arranged together on the circuit board located in the conversion device 5 and, in the present exemplary embodiment, are represented in the figure by a dashed frame. The DC output unit 61 is, for example, a DC socket or a USB socket. The AC output unit 62 is, for example, an AC outlet. The feedback unit 63 is, for example, a power transmission line. The human-machine interface 7 is, for example, a control panel. However, these components represent only preferred embodiments. All components with the same functions belong to the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not to be considered limited to the above-mentioned exemplary components.
[0012] In actual use, the drive device 1, the first eccentric shaft 21, the second eccentric shaft 22, the acceleration mechanism 3, the power generation device 4, and the conversion device 5 can be arranged on the wall or floor, or inserted into a recess in the wall or floor, with the drive device 1 and the feedback unit 63 connected to the power storage elements 11, and the conversion device 5 connected to the electrical output element 6. When the power storage elements 11 supply power to the drive device 1 for operation, the drive device 1 is coaxially rotated to drive the first eccentric shaft 21. The driver element 23 is designed so that the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 rotate synchronously in both speed and steering.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the follower member 23 includes three gears, wherein the gears on one side of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 have the same specifications, and the center gear is an idler gear, so that only the distance or transmission path between the input gear and the output gear is changed without changing the rotational speed and steering. In the present embodiment, the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 are arranged side by side at the top and bottom, but this is not limiting. The follower member 23 is designed so that the positional relationship between the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 can be adjusted to avoid excessive length of the overall structure, so that the invention can be easily accommodated in a rectangular space with a narrow aspect ratio.
[0013] When the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 rotate, the centers of gravity G1, G2 of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 are radially offset due to the design of the first solid section 211, the second solid section 221, the first hollow section 212, and the second hollow section 222. The gravity of the offset centers of gravity G1, G2 imparts a torque to their axis centers O1, O2. Fig. 3. In the figure, the upper row shows the sequential actuation of the first solid section 211, which is rotated 90° clockwise each time, and the lower row shows the sequential actuation of the second solid section 212, which is rotated 90° clockwise each time. Here, the arrows in the first solid section 211 and the second solid section 221 represent the first direction and the second direction of each rotation position, respectively, and the annotations on the upper and lower sides of each arrow between the actuations represent the power sources used in the rotation of the upper and lower rows, respectively. For example, if the center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 is above its axial center O1, gravity may cause the center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 to pivot to a position below its axial center O1.Subsequently, the center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 can be pivoted to the left relative to its axial center O1 by the force generated by the pivoting inertia, with the pivoting of the first solid section 211 and the second solid section 221, which are located above and below in the same straight line, occurring at the same time. In this way, the rotation of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 can be assisted by utilizing gravity and inertia. The first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 can assist the power generation device 4 in power generation through the mechanical force generated during rotation by gravity and inertia.Only after the force generated by inertia has been exhausted (when the centers of gravity G1, G2 are located to the left of the axis center O1, O2) and before the centers of gravity G1, G2 are rotated above the axis center O1, O2, is the drive device 1 (power) required. Therefore, the probability that the power generation device 4 must be driven by the drive device 1 can be comparatively reduced.
[0014] The first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 rotate synchronously, with the first direction and the second direction always remaining opposite to each other. This means that when the center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 is above the axial center O1 of the first eccentric shaft 21 (the first direction points upward), the center of gravity G2 of the second solid section 221 is below the axial center O2 of the second eccentric shaft 22 (the second direction points downward). Or, if the offset center of gravity G1 of the first solid section 211 is to the left of the axial center O1 of the first eccentric shaft 21 (the first direction points left), the center of gravity G2 of the second solid section 221 is to the right of the axial center O2 of the second eccentric shaft 22 (the second direction points right).Since rotational support can be reliably ensured by at least one of the two eccentric shafts—namely, the first eccentric shaft 21 or the second eccentric shaft 22—in this way, the operating power of the drive device 1 can be continuously supported. In other words, when the drive device 1 has a fixed-frequency output and the output power is not reduced by the support of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22, the rotational speed of the power generation device 4 can be relatively increased (the rotational speed of the rotor increases) by the power support received from the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22, thus ensuring better power generation.The moment generated by the first solid section 211 to the left (right) of the axial center O1 of the first eccentric shaft 21 has the same magnitude and the opposite direction as the moment generated by the second solid section 221 to the right (left) of the axial center O2 of the second eccentric shaft 22. By skillfully achieving gravity balance, additional resistance due to the gravity of the first solid section 211 and the second solid section 221 can be avoided to prevent noise from being generated during operation due to the resistance.
[0015] Furthermore, an acceleration mechanism 3 is located between the second eccentric shaft 22 and the power generation device 4. In the present embodiment, the acceleration mechanism 3 is a gear arrangement. Specifically, a first large gear is provided on one side of the second eccentric shaft 22 coaxially therewith, wherein one side of the first large gear meshes with a first small gear, a second large gear is arranged coaxially on one side of the first small gear, one side of the second large gear meshes with a second small gear, and the second small gear is connected to the power generation device 4 and arranged coaxially therewith. In this way, the power generation device 4 can achieve two acceleration stages through the acceleration mechanism 3.According to Faraday's law, the generated electromotive force is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field. That is, the faster the magnetic field changes and the larger the magnetic flux (e.g., the faster the rotor rotates), the greater the generated electromotive force and the higher the power generation. Therefore, the power generation efficiency of the power generation device 4 can be further improved by the acceleration mechanism 3.
[0016] Faraday's law: ε=−dΦBdt where ε is the electromotive force and Φ B the magnetic flux is.
[0017] The generated electrical energy is transmitted to the electrical output element 6 via the power converter module 51 or the transformer module 52 of the conversion device 5. In the present embodiment, the power generation device 4 is a direct current power generation system, and the power converter module 51 is an inverter. In this way, the electrical energy generated by the power generation device 4 can be directly output as direct current with an appropriate voltage via the transformer module 52, or converted into alternating current with an appropriate voltage via an inverter and output. The user can select the output voltages of the DC output unit 61 and the AC output unit 62 via the human-machine interface 7 and then connect them to the corresponding electrical device.For example, the user can select an AC power output of 110 V, 220 V, or 380 V. The number of AC output units 62 is three, and different operating voltages can be provided according to user settings to increase freedom of use. The DC output unit 61 functions in the same way and will therefore not be described again. At the same time, part of the electrical energy generated by the power generation device 4 can be stored back in the power storage elements 11 via the feedback unit 63, thereby reducing electrical energy loss, achieving recharging and reuse of electrical energy, and extending the power supply time of the power storage elements, thus improving the practicality of power utilization.

Furthermore, the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 may be housed in the first outer casing 213 and the second outer casing 223, respectively, thereby reducing the accumulation of dirt and dust on the first solid portion 211 and the second solid portion 221, further providing collision protection, and increasing the structural strength of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22.Alternatively, the first outer casing 213 and the first solid portion 211 may be formed integrally, with the hollowed portion of the first outer casing 213 constituting the first hollow portion 212.

In the present embodiment, they are each designed in the form of a sleeve and fastened to the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 by means of fastening structures such as pins or pins. In this way, it is only necessary to manufacture the first solid portion 211 and the second solid portion 221 and to fasten them to the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22 using the first shaft connecting member 214 and the second shaft connecting member 224, respectively.the second eccentric shaft 22, thereby minimizing manufacturing difficulties and facilitating cleaning and replacement of the first eccentric shaft 21 and the second eccentric shaft 22.
