Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a modular energy generation system for producing electrical energy using rotating miniature generators that are mounted on suitcase wheels, suitcase scooters, or hubs. This system provides energy autonomously even at low speeds and is suitable for all mobile devices. The energy generation system, consisting of a rechargeable, replaceable battery, rectifier, DC-DC converter, electronic module, USB-PD chip, and USB output interface, is mounted on a flat support platform and installed inside the suitcase. The energy generation system is directly connected to the miniature generators via a cable. The generated energy serves to power batteries or mobile devices autonomously. When the vehicle is in motion, the wheel or hub rotates, mechanically driving the generators. The generators produce three-phase alternating current, which is converted into direct current by the rectifier.The DC-DC converter regulates the voltage to the desired level. Power is supplied via a USB-PD chip for fast charging or via a USB output interface. The energy is either delivered directly to the device or stored temporarily. The system is easy to install and replace. 2. State of the art

[0002] Conventional bicycle dynamos deliver limited and often unstable voltage, usually only sufficient for powering lights. However, modern mobile devices require regulated DC voltage with higher power output and optional fast-charging capability. There is a need for a scalable, compact, and reliable power generation system for cargo bikes, scooters, or hub motors that can provide independent power even at low speeds and is suitable for all mobile devices. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The objective is to provide a modular, easily retrofitted power generation system for luggage wheels or hubs that utilizes one or more mini-generators to convert mechanical movement into electrical energy. It generates and delivers power autonomously, even at low speeds, and is suitable for all mobile devices. The system rectifies and regulates the power and supports fast-charging protocols. It can directly and autonomously power batteries or devices. The system can be quickly and easily integrated into luggage wheels or hubs and can be mounted inside the luggage case. 4. Solution to the task

[0004] The task is accomplished by the fact that, while driving, the wheel or hub rotates, mechanically driving the generators. The generators produce three-phase alternating current, which is converted to direct current via the rectifier, and the DC-DC converter regulates the voltage to the desired level. Optionally, fast charging is enabled via a USB-PD chip, or power is supplied via a USB output interface. The energy is either delivered directly to the end device or temporarily stored in a battery. 5. Advantages of the invention • Self-sufficient and mobile • Independent of external power supply • Modularly expandable, interchangeable, retrofittable • Ready for use at any time • To increase the power capacity, it can be used multiple times on each wheel or hub. • Easy and inexpensive to manufacture • Can be integrated into any type of suitcase • Environmentally friendly and low-maintenance 6. Structure and Function

[0005] Components: 1. Suitcase wheels, suitcase rollers, the hub, suitcase interior 2. Miniature three-phase generator(s), attached to the luggage wheel or hub 3. Mechanical coupling through wheel rotation while driving or by rotating the wheel and hub. 4. Three-phase AC output 5. Rectifier module for conversion to DC 6.
