Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-power propulsion device using a reciprocating engine for a gliding boat that glides on the sea surface at a speed of 200 to 300 km per hour or an EV motor. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, if the maximum weight at takeoff of the YS-11 aircraft is the same, and the power is also the same, that is, the main wings and the set of takeoff and landing wheels are the same as the floats, and the YS-11 engine is attached to the float and operated, it will glide on the sea surface at about 150 to 300 km per hour just like an airship. However, if it is left as it is, the center of gravity will be high and it will be easy to roll over when stopped, so a method called a gliding ship was developed in which the lower part inside the float is used as a ballast tank. However, in reality, there are problems that make it still not practical. As with the YS-11, the engine is a turboprop engine, which is not energy efficient, and maintenance as a ship is difficult in an ordinary port. Furthermore, the engine of the aircraft with a similar load weight for a large gliding ship is a turbofan engine with a higher power output, which is designed to be most efficient when flying at high altitudes and high speeds, and is not suitable for gliding at 200 to 300 km per hour on the sea surface.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent application 2021-201217 [Patent Document 2] Patent application 2023-101217 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Taking the YS-11 as an example, the engine power during flight is about 6000 horsepower when the maximum takeoff weight is about 25 tons. In other words, the engine power is 240 horsepower per 1 ton of maximum takeoff weight. This relationship does not change significantly, although the horsepower drops slightly as the engine efficiency increases. If a glider is planned to transport heavy loads in the future, the load weight will be 400 tons, which will be 96,000 horsepower, and if four engines are to handle that power, each will have 24,000 horsepower. Even gas-fired turbine engines for helicopters have only 3000 to 4000 horsepower, and automobile reciprocating engines have a maximum of about 20,000 horsepower, which is insufficient for an engine that rotates a propeller suitable for a glider.

[0005] Gliders are transported by sea, so it is desirable to keep the transportation costs low. In that sense, it is also desirable that the construction costs of gliders are not too high. In that sense, it is desirable for the engines to be based on cheaper reciprocating engines or EV motors rather than expensive jet engines.

[0006] In order to reduce transportation costs, it is desirable to reduce the costs of maintaining and repairing gliders. In that sense, there is a need for engines other than jet engines that meet the requirements. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A glider according to one aspect of the present invention for solving the above problems has rotors with the same function as helicopter blades that are raised vertically from the bottom of the float on both sides or the rear of a cabin or cargo hold on the float, and another rotor is attached horizontally to the rear, with its upper end meshed with gears, a pusher propeller attached to the tip of that, a disk-shaped gear attached to the bottom end, and several reciprocating engines or EV motors attached in a circle at the tip of the bevel gear so that when it rotates, it rotates the disk-shaped gear at the bottom end of the rotor, and when the reciprocating engine or EV motor is running, the pusher propeller at the tip of the rotor rotates, generating powerful thrust.

[0008] A rotor is attached vertically above the hangar on the float, at a height that allows the pusher propeller to rotate, and another rotor is attached horizontally to the rear, with a gear attached to its upper end. A disk-shaped gear is attached to the lower end of that, and several EV motors are attached around the outer periphery, with their tips each meshing with the disk-shaped gear at the lower end of the vertical rotor. When the motors rotate, the pusher propellers rotate with great force, generating forward thrust; if the hangar is wide, as many pusher propellers as possible can be installed. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, by rotating multiple reciprocating engines or EV motors at high speed to generate high output, it is possible to rotate a large-radius pusher propeller at high speed to operate a glider at a speed of 200 to 300 km per hour.

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] The engine power required for gliding at 200-300 km per hour on the sea surface like a glider is about 240 horsepower per ton of gliding weight, and about 100,000 horsepower is required if gliding at 400 tons. As shown in Figure 5, this is a large pusher propeller device 18, with a gear attached to the lower end of the rotor 9, a circular metal plate 11 with a gear attached upward on the outer circumference, and many reciprocating engines 7 with gears attached to the end of the drive shaft are arranged on the circular metal plate 11, and the gears 17 at the end of the drive shaft are engaged to operate the reciprocating engines simultaneously to obtain large output. Currently, one reciprocating engine can have a horsepower of 2,000 in a large automobile, and if 5 to 10 reciprocating engines 7 are installed around the gear box 8 under the rotor 9 as shown in Figures 5 and 6, it will be 10,000 to 20,000 horsepower. If 20 engines are installed, it will be 40,000 horsepower, and the output of the pusher propellers on both sides of the cabin or cargo room 3 of the float 1 will be 80,000 horsepower for two units.

[0013] The advantage of this method is that automobile reciprocating engines are not expensive per unit; even if each unit costs 5 million yen, a configuration of 20 units would cost only 100 million yen, which is considerably cheaper than a large jet engine.

[0014] In addition, a large number of reciprocating engines 7 can be placed under the float 1, lowering the overall center of gravity and contributing to the stability of the glider.

[0015] However, it is difficult to install many rotors 9 penetrating the interior of the cabin or cargo room 3. Therefore, several EV motor-driven propeller devices 10 of the same type are installed on the line connecting the large propeller devices 18 on both sides of the cabin or cargo room 3. The upper end of the rotor 9 is at a height that allows the EV to rotate, and the rotation radius of the propeller is optimal for the engine output.

[0016] In addition, because the EV motor is small and light, even if it is installed on top of the cabin or cargo bay, it does not raise the center of gravity of the glider and does not significantly affect stability. The generator for the EV motor can be installed on the lower part of both sides of Float 1, and even in the case of hydrogen fuel, the fuel tank can be inside Float 1, and there is no problem with stability even if it is large-capacity.

[0017] It is relatively easy to increase the output of a system that uses an EV motor as a power source; for example, it would not be impossible to achieve a 5,000 horsepower system. Another advantage is that it is smaller than a reciprocating engine, and many of them can be placed in a small space. For example, if 20 of these are attached to the bottom of the rotor, the output will be 100,000 horsepower, which will compare favorably with the high-output jet engines of large aircraft. Examples are shown in Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 shows an EV motor placed vertically on top of a gearbox 8 in place of the reciprocating engine in Figure 6. A circular metal plate 14 with gears on its outer periphery is attached under the rotor 9, and it is rotated by a gear 13 attached to the drive shaft of the EV motor.

[0018] The advantage of this is that the overall volume of the engine section is small, the weight is not too large, and it is easy to install on the roof of the cabin or cargo room 3.

[0019] The advantage of this is that even though a considerable amount of electricity is required to run an EV's motor, a large generator such as a fuel cell, a gas turbine engine, or a hydrogen-fueled reciprocating engine can be installed inside the float, which can adequately supply power.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a fairly large glider capable of carrying hundreds of tons of cargo or trucks can be operated over long distances at speeds of 200-300 km / h and still be commercially viable. [Explanation of symbols]
