Buoyancy power generation apparatus

Abstract

A buoyancy power generation apparatus, comprising a support mounted in a water tank, wherein a first sprocket is mounted at a bottom of the support, and a second sprocket is mounted at a top of the support; a buoyancy chamber chain is mounted between the first sprocket and the second sprocket, and the buoyancy chamber chain drives the first sprocket and the second sprocket to move synchronously; a plurality of buoyancy chambers are mounted on the buoyancy chamber chain; each buoyancy chamber is configured with an opening, and a one-way valve that opens by moving toward an interior of the buoyancy chamber is mounted at a bottom of the buoyancy chamber; the first sprocket or the second sprocket is connected to a generator; an air injection port is mounted at the bottom of the support and is connected to an air injection unit, and an air outlet of the air injection port is located on a rising side of the buoyancy chamber; the air injection unit discharges air from the air injection port, such that the air moves upward and enters the buoyancy chambers, expelling water inside the buoyancy chambers out of the buoyancy chambers and causing the buoyancy chambers to generate an upward buoyant force, such that when the buoyancy chambers float upward, the buoyancy chambers drive motion of the first sprocket, the second sprocket, and the generator by means of the buoyancy chamber chain, thereby achieving power generation.
