Description

A new concept fusion small hydro power plant using a Ferris wheel

[0001] The present invention relates to a new concept fusion small hydro power generation device in the form of a Ferris wheel, and more specifically, to a device that can generate power required for power generation by configuring a water tank in the form of a Ferris wheel and a complex factor of the weight of water filled in the water tank and the eccentricity of the Ferris wheel, thereby providing a power generation device with high efficiency while maintaining a low voltage difference.

[0002] Power is generated by burning or exploding fuels such as diesel, gasoline, or gas, and is used to operate internal combustion engines, steam engines, hydraulic engines, etc. Since this power is mainly generated from fossil fuels, smoke and other harmful gases are generated when the fuel is burned or exploded.

[0003] As mentioned above, in the process of burning or exploding fossil fuels to obtain power (energy), not only is air pollution caused by harmful gases and smoke generated, but it also provides a cause for soil and water pollution to worsen due to leakage of fossil fuels, which are raw materials.

[0004] In particular, the ozone layer is destroyed by harmful gases emitted from fossil fuels, causing global warming, and as the global environment rapidly changes due to global warming, natural disasters such as typhoons, hurricanes, heavy rains, and heavy snowfalls occur frequently, and thus considerable efforts are being made in recent years to develop harmless power sources.

[0005] There are various fields of development in which harmless power sources are used, such as solar energy or photovoltaic energy, wind energy, and tidal differences to obtain electrical energy.

[0006] In order to break away from fossil fuels as mentioned above, in addition to using solar and wind power, devices that generate power using electric energy are being developed and some are being used. However, because they require a lot of investment costs, the efficiency is extremely low compared to the invested costs, making it difficult to apply them in real life.

[0007] Another example is the use of electric energy to drive cars or other industrial devices. However, even in this case, it is difficult to call it a completely clean energy source because it is obtained by burning or exploding fossil fuels to obtain electricity.

[0008] Recently, small hydroelectric power plants that can generate power using water without being limited by installation space have been developed and provided. A representative example of their configuration is as follows, as shown in patent documents (Patent Application No. 10-2018-0094168).

[0009] The technical content of the patent document is a double-sided support (10) that is erected to a certain height from the ground and provides a sturdy support base for the main rotation axis (110);

[0010] A main rotation shaft (110) installed on a sturdy support base at the top between the two side supports (10);

[0011] A rotating body (100) that rotates at a predetermined rotational speed within a certain radius range based on the main rotation axis (110);

[0012] A water tank (200) that is emptied after filling water and is arranged at regular equiangular intervals around the edge of a rotating body (100) and is always maintained in a horizontal state during rotation, and is filled with a certain amount of water to give weight when positioned at the top center of the rotating body (100) during rotation and is poured to remove weight when positioned at the bottom center;

[0013] A water selective supply device (300) that can supply water drawn from a relatively small river or stream to a water tank (200) that is emptied after being filled and located at the top center of a rotating body (100), but temporarily stops water discharge until the next water tank (200) is located when one water tank (200) that is emptied after being filled is completely filled;

[0014] It is characterized by being installed on one side of the main rotation shaft (110) provided at the center of the above-mentioned rotating body (100) and comprising a generator (400) that converts rotational kinetic energy output from the rotating body (100) into electrical energy.

[0015] In the case of the above patent document, the entire structure is configured in the form of a Ferris wheel, and water is supplied from the upper center to cause rotation in a clockwise direction by the force of the water to obtain rotation and power, and water is discharged from the lower center to avoid hindering the rise.

[0016] In the above prior art, a separate power source is required to operate the means for supplying water during the process of supplying water and rotating, so the power consumed is greater than the power actually obtained, resulting in a disadvantage in that efficiency is low.

[0017] And, in the process of moving downward and discharging the supplied water, as well as in other parts, because the rotation process involves touching and opening each other, it causes rotational resistance, and because there are surprisingly many means of generating this rotational resistance, it becomes another cause of power consumption, so as mentioned above, the power generation efficiency is not high.

[0018] In addition to the problem of having to use an external power source for the mechanical configuration and operation of water supply and discharge, there is also the problem of having to generate rotational force purely from the power of the water contained in the water tank. If this power is not large, a serious problem may arise in which rotation cannot be generated at all due to auxiliary operating means.

[0019] To solve this problem, if the size of the water tank is increased, it does not meet the purpose of small hydropower generation and the entire device becomes large, which not only incurs excessive installation costs but also requires a large installation space, which causes other problems such as reduced efficiency and a long time required to recover the initial investment cost, making it impossible to be free from various problems.

[0020] The present invention was invented to solve the above problems, and includes a rotating body (103) maintained by a rotating shaft (102) on a support frame (101);

[0021] A plurality of water buckets (105) in the shape of a Ferris wheel mounted between the above-mentioned rotating bodies (103) to supply water at the upper center position and rotate the rotating body (103) clockwise by the weight of the water;

[0022] A water collection plate (106) to prevent water from being wasted elsewhere when it flows into the above water bucket (105);

[0023] On the side wall or bottom surface of the water bucket (105) opposite to the above water collection plate (106), there is a drain plate (107) for discharging water at a lower center position in the 180° direction from the position where water is supplied;

[0024] A generator (G) connected to the above rotation shaft (102) so as to generate electricity;

[0025] Between the above-mentioned rotating body (103) and the water bucket (105), there is provided a bucket holding means (110) that can maintain the water bucket (105) in a normal state when the rotating body (103) rotates due to the weight of water in the water bucket (105);

[0026] A bucket eccentric means (130) that helps the rotational force by keeping the water bucket (105) protruding in the direction of rotation when the above-mentioned rotating body (103) rotates;

[0027] Inside the above water bucket (105), there is a guide plate operating means (170) for operating a water collection guide plate (106);

[0028] Including a drain plate operating means (200) for operating the above drain plate (107) to perform drainage;

[0029] The purpose of maximizing power generation efficiency can be achieved by increasing the rotational force by filling the water bucket, which is always kept in a downward direction like a Ferris wheel, and by biasing the water bucket in the rotational direction.

[0030] The present invention has the effect of efficiently generating power for power generation by supplying water to a water tank in the shape of a Ferris wheel, generating rotational force by the weight of the water and gravity, and eccentrically positioning the water tank to the outside of the axis (right, in the direction of rotation) so that a greater force is generated at the location where the water is supplied.

[0031] The present invention is configured to rotate a Ferris wheel by receiving the force of the plate by being coupled to a rotating plate with respect to a frame, and also to supply and discharge water by means of a rotating means, thereby enabling operation without receiving any power from the outside, thereby minimizing rotational resistance and thus increasing the efficiency of power generation.

[0032] The present invention is an invention that has various effects, such as being able to obtain the power required for power generation by gravity due to the self-weight and eccentricity of water, while reducing installation and manufacturing costs by making the device advantageous and compact for the voltage difference method, and minimizing the installation space, thereby reducing the initial cost as well as all costs required for maintenance.

[0043] Figure 11 is a perspective view of the rear side of a new concept fusion small hydroelectric power plant using a Ferris wheel to which the technology of the present invention is applied, showing important parts thereof.

[0044] A new concept fusion micro-hydro power generation device (100) of the Ferris wheel type to which the technology of the present invention is applied has a rotating body (103) in the shape of a disk or fan maintained at a predetermined interval by a rotating shaft (102) on a triangular or I-shaped support frame (101).

[0045] Between the above-mentioned rotating bodies (103), a plurality of Ferris wheel-shaped water buckets (105) are installed to supply water from the upper center position and rotate the rotating bodies (103) clockwise by the weight of the water, and a water collection guide plate (106) is provided in the opposite direction of rotation to prevent water from being wasted elsewhere when it flows into the water bucket (105).

[0046] The side wall or bottom surface of the water bucket (105) opposite the above water collection induction plate (106) includes a drain plate (107) for discharging water at a lower center position 180° from the position where water is supplied, and a generator (G) is connected to the rotation shaft (102) as a power extraction means to enable power generation.

[0047] Between the above-mentioned rotating body (103) and the water bucket (105), there is included a bucket holding means (110) that ensures that the water bucket (105) does not tilt and always maintains a normal state when the rotating body (103) rotates due to the weight of the water in the water bucket (105), and a bucket eccentric means (130) that helps the rotating force by keeping the water bucket (105) protruding in the direction of rotation when the rotating body (103) rotates.

[0048] The inside of the above water bucket (105) is configured to include a guide plate operating means (170) for operating a water collection guide plate (106) and a drain plate operating means (200) for operating a drain plate (107).

[0049] The above water bucket (105) is preferably configured with a bottom plate (108) made of a heavy body or has a heavy body so that the center of gravity is positioned lower to help maintain a normal state by excluding flow, and the four side walls are preferably configured with a lightweight body compared to the bottom plate.

[0050] The above bucket holding means (110) fixes or connects a bracket (111) by maintaining a predetermined interval equal to the number of water buckets (105) on the inside of the rotating body (103), and fixes a driving gear (112) on the inside of the bracket (111).

[0051] A hexahedral connecting block (115) is coupled to the inner end (114) of the driving shaft (113) protruding inwardly of the above driving gear (112), and a driven shaft (117) that is supported by a bearing (116) on the lower side of the connecting block (115) and is free to rotate with respect to the connecting block (115) and the water bucket (105) is coupled.

[0052] A driven gear (118) is fixed to a driven shaft (117) located outside the water bucket (105) so as to mesh with the driving gear (112) and rotate freely with respect to the connecting block (115) and the water bucket (105), and a guide plate operating means (150) and a drain plate operating means (190) are moved on the driven shaft (117) located inside the water bucket (105).

[0053] The above connecting block (115) and the water bucket (105) may each be provided with a vortex means so that the water bucket (105) can be maintained in a steady state (with the bottom plate facing downward) without rotating.

[0054] The above bucket eccentric means (130) forms a plurality of eccentric operating holes (131) (as many as the number of water buckets) in a dumbbell-like shape radially from the edge of the rotating body (103) toward the center of the axis, and the eccentric operating holes (131) are composed of an outer hole (132) formed on the outside of the rotating body (103), an inner hole (133) formed on the inside of the rotating body (103), and a connecting hole (134) that is narrower or wider than the inner and outer holes while connecting the outer and inner holes (132, 133) to suit the bearing size.

[0055] In the above connecting hole (134), a bearing (136) is coupled to the outer part (135) of the driving shaft (113) and positioned in the connecting hole (134), and the outer end (137) of the driving shaft (113) is positioned in the outer hole (132) and the inner hole (133) on the outside of the rotating body (103) and is connected to an eccentric cam (145) interposed between the outer roller (142) and the inner roller (143) which are built into the outer eccentric block (138) and the inner eccentric block (139) which are fastened with bolts or the like and are maintained by a roller pin (140).

[0056] The above eccentric cam (145) is prevented from coming off by a finishing means such as a bolt that is fastened to the outer end of the driving shaft (113), and the bearing (136) interposed in the driving shaft (113) connected to the eccentric cam (145) moves by being connected to the connecting hole (134), so that the right portion from the upper center to the lower center of the rotating body (103) becomes as eccentric (→) as possible in the rotational direction (↓), so that the force of the water contained in the water bucket (105) and the eccentric force are added to help generate the rotational force.

[0057] The above outer eccentric block (138) and inner eccentric block (139) are tightly coupled to the rotating body (103) by a fixing means such as a bolt by being in close contact with the block fixing groove (144) formed further on the edge of the outer hole (132) and inner hole (133).

[0058] The outer roller (142) and inner roller (143) are mounted in opposing positions of the movable block (146) built into the outer and inner eccentric blocks (138, 139) so as to be connected to the eccentric cap (145), and a spring (147) is interposed in the movable block (146) at a position away from the eccentric cam (145) so as to be controlled by a ground (148), and the tension of the spring (147) can be adjusted by a tension adjustment bolt (149).

[0059] The above movable block (146) may be excluded and only the outer or inner roller (142, 143) may be fixed and used.

[0060] The above-mentioned guide plate operating means (170) mounts a driving pinion (171) on a driven shaft (117) exposed to the inside of a water bucket (105), and the driving pinion (171) is engaged with an idle pinion (174) coupled to a guide plate shaft (173) mounted on a side wall (172) of the water bucket (105) to transmit power.

[0061] The above guide plate shaft (173) is equipped with a guide plate pinion (175) that is fixed together with an idle pinion (174) so ​​as to engage with a lifting rack (177) that is maintained on the rear wall (left side, 176, as seen in FIG. 1) of the water bucket (105).

[0062] In the above-mentioned lifting rack (177), both sides of the water collection guide plate (106) are connected by a hinge (178), and a transition groove (179) and a transition protrusion (180) in a recessed and protruding shape are formed in the lower part of the water collection guide plate (106), so that the water supplied is prevented from flowing down between the water buckets (105) by being raised to the upper part of the water bucket (105) by the catch (181) and the transition roller (182) provided on the side wall (172) of the water bucket (105) and then tilted to the left (as viewed in FIG. 1).

[0063] The above drain plate operating means (190) is installed with an idle gear (192) on a drain plate shaft (191) mounted on the side wall (172) of a water bucket (105) facing a water collection guide plate (106) to transmit power from a driving pinion (171), and fixes a drain plate pinion (193) to the drain plate shaft (191) together with the idle gear (192).

[0064] The above drain plate pinion (193) is engaged with the drain plate rack (196) that holds the drain plate (107) so that leakage can be prevented by interposing a sealing means on the front wall (194) located on the right side (as seen in Drawing 1) of the water bucket (105) and raises the drain plate (107) to enable drainage operation.

[0065] The above-mentioned guide plate operating means (170) and drain plate operating means (190) further include a return means (200) that enables the raised water collection guide plate (106) and drain plate (107) to return to their original positions by their own weight.

[0066] The above-mentioned return means (200) is equipped with a guide plate operating cam (205) and a drain plate operating cap (206), which are formed with a guide plate release projection (201) for lowering the water collection guide plate (106) when the water supply to the water bucket (105) is completed by raising the water collection guide plate (106) to the maximum position on the inside of a driven shaft (117) on which a driving pinion (171) is mounted, and a drain plate release projection (202) for lowering the drain plate (107) when the water inside the water bucket (105) is completely discharged by raising the drain plate (107) to the maximum position.

[0067] The guide plate release projection (201) and the drain plate release projection (202) formed on the above guide plate operation cap (205) and drain plate operation cam (206) are formed to protrude more than the other surfaces of the guide plate operation cap (205) and the drain plate operation cam (206).

[0068] The above guide plate operating cap (205) and drain plate operating cam (206) are connected to a cam rod (210) that operates to rise and fall by the rotating guide plate operating cap (205) and drain plate operating cam (206), and the other side of the cam rod (210) is connected to a conventional clutch (211) mounted on the guide plate shaft (173) and drain plate shaft (191) so as to block the power transmission of the water collection guide plate (106) and drain plate (107) at a specific position so that the water collection guide plate (106) and drain plate (107) can return to their original positions by their own weight.

[0069] It would be desirable for the above clutch to be configured so that it can slip when a set force is applied.

[0070] In the case of the above drain plate (107), the present invention exemplifies installation on the right wall of the water bucket (105), but it may also be configured on the bottom plate (108) of the water bucket (105) so that it can be opened and closed.

[0071] The usage status of the new concept fusion small hydro power generation device (100) in the form of a Ferris wheel to which the technology of the present invention is applied as described above is as follows.

[0072] Initially, the lifting rack (177) maintained on the rear wall 176) of the water bucket (105) located at the upper center of the rotating body (103) is maintained in a state that is raised as much as possible to raise the water collection guide plate (106) above the water bucket (105) and then maintains a state of being tilted to the left for a certain period of time so that water is used inside the water bucket (105), and in this process, the space between the water bucket (105) located at the upper center and the water bucket (105) located at the rear (left in FIG. 1) is blocked to prevent water from leaking or flowing out and being lost during the process of supplying water.

[0073] In this way, when the water bucket (105) at the uppermost center position is filled with water, the water bucket (105) is biased in the rotational direction (right in Drawing 1) by the bucket eccentricity means (130) along with the weight of the water, so the force is further increased to rotate the rotating body (103).

[0074] In this way, the water bucket (105) generates a force downward (in the direction of gravity) due to the weight of the water and the eccentricity of the water bucket (105) in the right direction (rotational direction) at the upper center of the rotating body (103), and the rotating body (103) continuously rotates due to this force.

[0075] In this way, the water bucket (105) located in the rotational direction (right) is filled with water, and the water bucket (105) located in the rotational direction is biased in the rotational direction by the bucket eccentricity means (130) to increase the rotational force, and when the water bucket (105) containing water reaches the lower center, the drain plate (107) is opened to prevent rotational resistance from occurring due to the water contained in the water bucket (105) when it rises to the left.

[0076] As described above, the water bucket (105) generates rotational force by the weight and eccentricity of the water that is filled, and this rotational force is used to generate electricity through a generator (G) installed on a rotation shaft (102), and the rotational force of the rotor (103) is transmitted to the driven gear (118), and the water collection guide plate (106) is raised by the guide plate operating means (170) and the drain plate operating means (190) to guide the inflow of water, and the drain plate (107) is raised to discharge the water inside the water bucket (105), and after the guide plate operating means (170) and the drain plate operating means (190) are operated, the water collection guide plate (106) and the drain plate (107) that have been raised are lowered by gravity by the return means (200) to be in a standby state for the next operation.

[0077] In the case of the above water bucket (105), even if the rotating body (103) rotates by the bucket holding means (110), the bottom plate (108) of the water bucket (105) is always kept facing downwards, like a Ferris wheel of an amusement facility, without rotating along with the rotating body (103).

[0078] The above bucket holding means (110) is configured to have a bracket (111) attached to the inner surface of a rotating body (103) and a drive gear (112) fixed to the bracket (111) so as to rotate together with the rotating body (103), and a driven gear (118) is connected to the drive gear (112), but the driven shaft (117) having the driven gear (118) has a bearing (116) interposed between the connecting block (115) and the side wall (172) of the water bucket (105), so that the water bucket (105) is always facing downward while the driven shaft (117) rotates so that there is no hindrance in transmitting power to the guide plate operating means (170) and the drain plate operating means (190).

[0079] Looking at the operating status of the above bucket eccentric means (130),

[0080] By maintaining the state in which the water bucket (105) is moved further to the right by the water from the rotation axis (102) as the base, the rotational force of the rotating body (103) can be increased together with the water contained in the water bucket (105).

[0081] The water bucket (105) is maintained in an eccentric state to the right by the bucket eccentric means (130) because the eccentric operating hole (131) formed radially in the rotating body (103) is composed of an outer hole (132), an inner hole (133), and a narrow connecting hole (134) connecting them, and the outer part (135) of the driving shaft (113) is connected to the connecting hole (134) by a bearing (136) so that it can move along the connecting hole (134).

[0082] The outer end (137) of the above driving shaft (113) is coupled with an eccentric cam (145), and the eccentric cam (145) is positioned between an outer eccentric block (138) and an inner eccentric block (139) that are closely fixed to the outer hole (132) and the inner hole (132), and the outer surface of the eccentric cam (145) is maintained by an outer roller (142) and an inner roller (143) that are mounted on a movable block (146) in which the outer and inner eccentrics are built.

[0083] The above outer and inner rollers (142, 143) are stored and withdrawn while pushing the movable block (146) along the outer surface of the eccentric cam (145). In this process, even if the eccentric cam (145) rotates eccentrically, the drive shaft (113) connected to it only moves in a straight line along the connecting hole (134) by the bearing (136), and ultimately, the drive shaft (113) is always pushed to the right of the rotating body (103) by the eccentricity to make it biased.

[0084] Looking at the operating status of the above-mentioned guide plate operating means (170),

[0085] In the initial state (the water collecting plate (106) is lowered from the lower center of the rotating body, and in this state, when the rotating body (103) rotates and reaches the upper center position, the driving gear (112) fixed to the bracket (111) rotates together during this process, and the driven gear (118) meshed with the driving gear (112) rotates to rotate the driven shaft (117).

[0086] A driving pinion (171) is mounted on the inner side of the driven shaft (117) exposed by the side wall (172) of the above water bucket (105), and an idle pinion (174) coupled to a guide plate shaft (173) mounted on the side wall (172) is engaged with the driving pinion (171).

[0087] The idle pinion (174) mounted on the above-mentioned guide shaft (173) is engaged with the lifting rack (177) maintained on the side wall (172) of the water bucket (105) and rises to the upper center position, thereby raising the lifting rack (177).

[0088] When the above-mentioned lifting rack (177) rises, the water collection guide plate (106) is connected to the inside of the lifting rack (177) by a hinge (178), so that the water collection guide plate rises, and when the rise is completed, the transition groove (179) and the transition protrusion (180) formed in the lifting rack (177) are tilted outward from the hinge (178) by the catch (181) and the transition roller (182) provided on the side wall (172), thereby blocking the space between the water bucket (105) at the right position and the water bucket (105) at the left position, so that the supplied water can be received without loss by the water bucket (104) located on the right.

[0089] Looking at the operating status of the above drainage plate operating means (190),

[0090] When the water bucket (105) moves from the upper right to the lower center position, the idle gear (192) mounted on the drainage pipe shaft (191) mounted on the side wall (172) engages with the driving pinion gear (117), and the drainage plate pinion (193) mounted together with the idle gear (192) rotates but is in an idle state, so the drainage plate (107) does not move, and when the water bucket (105) is positioned in the lower center, it is opened by the return means (200) to drain the water.

[0091] Looking at the operating state of the above-mentioned return means (200), when lowering the raised water collection guide plate (106), it is done by the guide plate operating cam (205) having the guide plate release projection (201) on the inside of the driven shaft (117), and when lowering the drain plate (107), it is done by the drain plate operating cam (206) having the drain plate release projection (202).

[0092] That is, in the case of the water collection induction plate (106), the upward operation is sequentially performed from the left side of the lower center position, and when it reaches the upper center position, the switching groove (179) and the switching protrusion (180) are tilted to the left by the catch (181) and the switching roller (182).

[0093] In this state, when the upper right rotation is made, the water collection guide plate (106) that was tilted to the left hits the front side wall (194) and changes to an upright state, and power transmission to the guide plate pinion (175) is blocked, so the water collection guide plate (106) descends due to its own weight and maintains its initial state.

[0094] In the case of the above drain plate (107), when moving from the upper center position to the lower center position, the clutch (211) of the cam rod (210) blocks the power, so it becomes an idling type, and when it reaches the lower center position, the clutch (211) operates to quickly raise the drain plate (107), so that the water inside the water bucket (105) can be quickly discharged.

[0095] The present invention has the advantage of maximizing the efficiency of power generation by increasing the rotational force by using the force of water filling a water bucket that is always kept in a downward direction like a Ferris wheel and biasing the water bucket in the rotational direction.
