Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vortex flow generating device having directional properties in which a cylinder and a guide tube are combined, and a vortex flow propulsion device is formed by driving the fluid in the cylinder or by the reaction force of the driving fluid. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional ship propulsion devices use screw propellers, but such devices have the following problems (1) to (6). (1) The leading edge of the blade experienced a large pressure resistance and the blade surface experienced a large friction resistance, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy. (2) The screw propeller generates centrifugal force in the water, creating a low-pressure area behind the rotating shaft, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy. (3) Cavitation at the tips of the screw propeller blades can cause a loss of kinetic energy, resulting in noise and corrosion problems. (4) Because the screw propellers were exposed, they could be damaged by drifting debris, could easily become entangled in ropes, or could injure aquatic animals. (5) The screw propeller sometimes generated large vibrations and noise. (6) The manufacturing and maintenance of screw propellers requires advanced technology and is therefore costly.

[0003] In view of this situation, the present inventor has conducted intensive research based on his many years of experience in the related field, and as a result has completed the vortex flow force propulsion structure according to the present invention. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a vortex flow force propulsion structure which is a completely new device capable of propelling a vehicle by driving a fluid inside a cylinder or by the reaction force of the fluid, and which is inexpensive, has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is durable, is easy to maintain, is environmentally friendly, and can meet the needs of energy saving and high performance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the vortex flow force propulsion structure according to the present invention includes the following technical means. The vortex flow propulsion structure of the present invention includes a guide tube, which is inserted into a cylinder in a tangential manner. After a fluid is injected into the cylinder through the guide tube, it forms a vortex and flows toward a specific end.

[0006] Two methods are used to move the fluid in the cylinder toward a particular end: one uses a cylinder with openings at both ends that are different sizes, and the other uses a cylinder with openings at both ends that are different sizes and an inclined guide tube.

[0007] In the above-mentioned vortex flow propulsion structure, the guide flow is injected into the cylinder in a tangential manner through the guide pipe, and then rotates along the inner edge of the cylinder to form a vortex flow, and for a cylinder with openings at both ends of which have different sizes, the vortex flow flows toward the larger opening, which is the fluid outlet, and for a cylinder with openings at both ends of which have the same sizes, an inclined guide pipe is used to generate an inclined vortex flow that flows toward one end of the cylinder, and the opening is used as the fluid outlet.

[0008] In the above-mentioned vortex flow force propulsion structure, the vortex pushes the static core fluid inside the cylinder to form a main flow, and the vortex guides the main flow and continues to accelerate.

[0009] In the above-mentioned vortex flow propulsion structure, when the main flow joins the guide flow and flows toward the outlet of the cylinder, the low pressure in the vacant core area draws in the external fluid and it enters from the opposite end opening. The opening is used as the fluid inlet, and a unidirectional main flow is formed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet.

[0010] In the above-mentioned vortex flow force propulsion structure, when the accelerated main flow joins with the vertical vortex flow, the main flow and the vortex flow feedback each other and accelerate each other.

[0011] In the above-mentioned vortex flow propulsion structure, the main flow having a direction generates a propulsive force at the fluid outlet and a suction force at the fluid inlet, and the flow speed of the main flow can be controlled by adjusting the flow speed of the guided flow.

[0012] In the above-mentioned vortex flow propulsion structure, two vortex flow propulsion structures are connected to each other so that the fluid inlets are butted against each other to form a vortex flow propulsion structure assembly, in which when a guide flow is injected into one of the guide tubes, a main flow in one direction is generated, and when a guide flow is injected into the other guide tube, a main flow in the opposite direction is generated.

[0013] In the above-mentioned vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly, each flow pipe can independently control the direction and speed of the main flow, so that the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly can be installed on a vehicle to make the vehicle move forward, backward, accelerate or decelerate, which has a simple and robust structure, is easy to assemble and maintain, and meets the needs of energy saving and high performance. Effect of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Refer to FIG. 1a. As shown in FIG. 1a, a guide flow 21 is injected into a conical cylinder 1 through a guide tube 2, and the guide flow 21 is formed into a vortex flow 22 in the cylinder 1 and flows toward a larger opening. The opening is formed at a fluid outlet 12. Refer to FIG. 1b. As shown in FIG. 1b, when the dimensions of the fluid outlet 12 of the cylinder 1 are the same as the dimensions of the fluid inlet 11, an inclined guide tube 2 is inserted into the cylinder 1 in a tangential manner, and the guide flow 21 is formed into an oblique vortex flow 22 in the cylinder 1 and flows toward a specific opening. The opening is formed at a fluid outlet 12. The fluid outlet 12 of the above-mentioned cylinder 1 may be formed into a polygonal shape that changes the vortex flow into a vertical fluid, thereby increasing the flow rate of the entire fluid.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1a and 1b. As shown in Figures 1a and 1b, when the vortex flow 22 flows along the inner edge of the cylinder 1, it pushes the static core fluid inside the cylinder 1 to form a main flow 14, and the vortex flow 22 guides and accelerates the main flow 14. The vortex flow 22 merges with the main flow 14 and flows toward the fluid outlet 12, while sucking in the external fluid 13 from the fluid inlet 11. When the vortex flow force propulsion structure is attached to a vehicle (e.g., a ship), the vehicle can be propelled by utilizing the reaction force of the main flow 14 inside the cylinder 1.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 2a and 2b. As shown in Figures 2a and 2b, when an acceleration ring 3 is added to the outer periphery of the cylinder 1 of the vortex flow force propulsion structure, the outer diameter of the vortex flow 22 increases, and the guide flow 21 enters the acceleration ring 3 in a tangential manner.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 3a and 3b. As shown in Figures 3a and 3b, when the vortex flow force propulsion structure according to another embodiment of the present invention is used for forward and reverse movement of a ship, two vortex flow force propulsion structures are connected to each other in opposite directions. The fluid inlets 11 of the cylinders 1, 1' of the two vortex flow force propulsion structures are butted together to form a vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly. As shown in Figure 3a, when a guide flow 21 is injected into the guide pipe 2, a vortex flow 22 is generated. As shown in Figure 3b, when a guide flow 21' is injected into the guide pipe 2', a vortex flow 22' in the opposite direction is generated, and by controlling the guide flows 21, 21' in the guide pipes 2, 2', the direction and speed of the main flows 14, 14' in the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly can be controlled to move the ship forward, backward, accelerate or decelerate.

[0020] As described above, when the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly of the present invention is installed on a vehicle (e.g., a ship), a pump is connected to the two guide pipes 2, 2' of the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly, and the guide flow 21 sucked in from the guide pipe 2 is injected into the guide pipe 2', or conversely, the guide flow 21' sucked in from the guide pipe 2' can be injected into the guide pipe 2, and both of these two methods can improve the overall efficiency.

[0021] Please refer to Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, when the vortex flow force propulsion structure according to another embodiment of the present invention is used to change the direction of a vehicle (e.g., a ship), the vortex flow force propulsion structure shown in Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b or the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly shown in Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b can adjust the direction of the discharged fluid and also control the direction of the vehicle (e.g., a ship) by attaching a rudder 4 to the fluid outlet 12.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 5a and 5b. As shown in Figures 5a and 5b, when the vortex flow force propulsion structure according to still another embodiment of the present invention is used to change the direction of a vehicle (for example, various ships), the vortex flow force propulsion structure shown in Figures 1a and 1b or the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly shown in Figures 3a and 3b can control the direction of the vehicle by freely rotating the vortex flow force propulsion structure or the vortex flow force propulsion structure assembly, which is attached to the cylinder 1 perpendicularly to the cylinder 1, to adjust the direction.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, the vortex flow force propulsion structure of the present invention is a completely new propulsion device that does not have the shortcomings of conventional propulsion devices. The vortex flow force propulsion structure of the present invention includes a cylinder and a guide tube. The cylinder has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid outlet is provided at an opening of the cylinder with a larger area. The fluid inlet is provided at an end opposite to the fluid outlet. The guide flow is injected into the cylinder in a tangential manner through the guide tube and then formed into a vortex flow, and when the core fluid is made to flow toward the fluid outlet, the external fluid is sucked into the fluid inlet and merges with the vortex flow to flow toward the fluid outlet. Therefore, the present invention has a simple and robust structure, is easy to assemble and maintain, and can meet the needs of energy saving and high performance. The present invention is also practical and meets the basic requirements for a patent, such as novelty and inventive step. [Explanation of symbols]
