Description

Mechanical rotary assembly for electric power production. Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a mechanical rotary assembly for the production of electrical energy, which provides remarkable characteristics of novelty compared to the systems currently known in the state of the art for the same purpose.

In particular, the object of the invention is focused on a mechanical rotary assembly whose purpose is to generate an electromagnetic field to produce electrical energy, being configured for it from separate rotating wheels (facing each other) which, driven by respective motors electrical, they are equipped with ferrules of ferrous material pads, arranged in respective circles that are concentric, distributed in quantity within a circle proportionally and interact with variable rotation, one of them being arranged on a support with linear movement that allows the positioning of the slats in internal or external rotation. Field of application of the invention

The field of application of the present invention is within the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of electric power generating mechanisms. Background of the invention

At present, and as a reference to the state of the art, it should be noted that, although multiple types of mechanisms, machines and devices intended for the production of electrical energy, such as alternators or dynamos by the applicant, are known, the existence is unknown of none that has technical, structural and con fi guration characteristics similar to those presented by the present invention, especially double twist which multiplies the electromagnetic effect. Explanation of the invention.

Thus, the mechanical rotary assembly for the production of electric energy proposed by the invention is con fi gured as a remarkable novelty within its field, since, according to its application, an innovative system for energy production is achieved by way of limitation. electrical, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it from the known systems, suitably set out in the final claims that accompany the present specification.

Specifically, the recommended rotary assembly is an individual mechanical assembly, suitable to be part of the machine to which it is intended.

Said assembly is mainly composed of two wheels, of different diameter, preferably made of aluminum, which are arranged coaxially, facing each other, coupled to their respective axles.

The said wheels incorporate, assembled on their respective facing circular surfaces and emanating from said surface perpendicularly, a certain number of slats, also of aluminum, located radially and distributed proportionally in respective circumferences close to their perimeter edge, at the rate of thirteen rectangular slats in rectangular straight parallelepiped shape opened by one of its minor faces, on the major wheel and twelve on the minor one, positioning itself in a concentric circle with its faces of greater parallel surface and without touching each other, forming two concentric circles. It should be noted that for the fixing of the aforementioned slats, circular housings have been provided that allow each blade to be rotated independently by a certain angle, it being necessary that the rotation be the same in all the slats and in the same direction in both wheels at which can be fixed using screws. The fixation is not limiting, and the slats at the wheels themselves can be in solidarity.

Inside each slat a rectangular tablet of ferric material is introduced, fastened with a stop.

Each wheel is mounted on a steel axle of treated special material and each axle in two bearings fixed, in turn, on respective supports.

One of said supports, preferably the one that supports the axis of the major wheel, is fixed and without linear movement, while the support of the other wheel is assembled on a mobile carriage, with linear displacement, said displacement being regulated and controlled with a independent electrical panel that drives a servomotor, thus allowing the linear displacement of the blade assembly mounted on the small wheel in order to position them in internal or external rotation.

On the other hand, the wheels rotate, independently and in opposite directions, driven by means of an independent electric motor to each of them, said motors being 555 W with brake and frequency variator to control the rotation speed , having planned the incorporation of a mechanical locking mechanism in the axle carrying each wheel to prevent them from turning if necessary.

Thus, said rotation in opposite directions of the described wheels generates a rotational electromagnetic field that will produce electrical energy.

It should be noted that the set described is subject to a structure formed by welded aluminum profiles and reinforcement brackets.

In this way, the operation and start-up of the recommended rotary assembly takes place as follows:

Initially, the set remains static, without any movement.

By means of a button preferably located on the drive, the main motors are started independently, which serve to rotate the wheels independently as well.

Using another button located on an independent control panel, the linear displacement of the carriage, which carries the mobile wheel at the operator's discretion, will be started.

The wheels can interact with variable rotation, until reaching the maximum admissible speed for the operation.

The wheels can be locked at the operator's will, if their non-mobility is required.

The carriage can move at linear intervals of a certain length, for example 6 mm, at the operator's will from its internal position max. out.

Thus, the aforementioned mechanical rotary assembly for the production of electrical energy represents an innovative structure with structural characteristics

and constitutives unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29. and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/198, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement Of all the documents found, document ES2182723 is considered to be the closest to the state of the technique, from now on it will be named as D1. The claims of the application are then compared with this document.  First claim: Document D1 shows a mechanical rotary assembly for the production of electrical energy intended to generate an electromagnetic field that produces said electrical energy. It comprises two wheels, one of a larger diameter (inductor) than the other (induced), coaxially arranged opposite each other, coupled to their respective axes (22) and (20); in which said wheels rotate, independently and in opposite directions, driven by means of respective electric motors (14,2), properly linked to their axles; generating a rotational electromagnetic field; and in which said axles are coupled in two pairs of bearings fixed, in turn, in respective supports (3,5) and (10,12), of which one is fixed; both being coupled on a base structure (23). The wheels of document D1 do not have a plurality of aluminum slats, located radially and distributed proportionally, each of them having a tablet of ferric material. The function performed by these slats with their ferrous material pads is to provide a variable magnetic flux. Document D1 contains an inductor and an induced element, and by the same principle of operation of any generator has a means of generating variable magnetic field. The way in which the application provides the pads, which create the variable magnetic field in the slats, is one of the constructive variants that an expert in the field would have at their disposal on the date the application was submitted, without the exercise of inventive activity In addition and to complement this argument, document DE102006037249 A1 shows a rotor composed of a series of elements in the form of pads that generate the desired magnetic field (fig. 6). Therefore, the first claim of the analyzed application presents the following difference with respect to document D1: - in document D1 the possibility of linearly moving one wheel with respect to the other is not contemplated. The technical effect of this difference is to control the magnetic flux that crosses the two wheels by means of the displacement of one wheel with respect to the other. Therefore, the objective technical problem that an expert in the field would have to solve from D1 would be precisely how to modify the magnetic flux that passes through the two wheels that make up the generator. It is considered that identifying this problem would not involve inventive activity and neither the solution provided in the first claim would involve inventive activity. The fact of moving the rotor or the stator with respect to the stator or rotor respectively to modify the magnetic flux is something belonging to the common technical knowledge and its implementation in document D1 would be evident to a person skilled in the art on the date of the request. In addition, and to reinforce this argument, the generator of document US5763977 (column 2, lines 38-42) uses this technique; that is, by means of a linear displacement, the magnetic flux between the rotor and the stator changes to control the electric power generated by the alternator. Therefore, the object of the first claim does not seem to imply inventive activity, as defined in Article 8 of the Spanish Patent Law, Law 11/1986 of March 20.  Second claim: Although document D1 does not provide the slats provided on the wheels perpendicular to their respective facing circular surfaces, in the same manner as has been argued in the first claim, this feature is described in document DE102006037249 A1 (fig. 2) providing the same advantages That this request. The person skilled in the art could therefore consider as a normal design option to include these slats in document D1 to solve the problem. However, the choice of the specific number of slats is not justified from reading the application, thirteen for the larger diameter wheel and twelve for the smaller diameter wheel. That is, there is no surprising technical effect of these values. Therefore the choice of such value seems arbitrary. And therefore, this claim does not seem to have inventive activity. WRITTEN OPINION  Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth claims: These claims are mere constructive details, nothing is indicated in them that is not common knowledge in the field of electrical machine structures. In addition, they do not possess technical characteristics that, in combination with the technical characteristics of the claims on which they depend, confer inventive activity to the application. As indicated in article 5.2.c of Regulation 2245/1986 on the execution of the Patent Law, and in order to obtain a better understanding of the invention, it is suggested that an indication of the document be included in the description in subsequent stages of the procedure D1, commenting on the most important contribution made to the state of the art. Said indication cannot extend the object of the invention, as originally presented.
