Description

  The present invention relates to a tandem multi-stage thermomagnetic engine that can obtain a large output with a small installation area using a thermomagnetic engine using a temperature-sensitive magnetic material.

  Conventionally, a thermomagnetic engine using a temperature-sensitive magnetic material has been invented, but it has been difficult to obtain a large output with a small installation area.

  The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving a conventional problem and providing a thermomagnetic engine having a small installation area and a large output.

The present invention for solving the above problems is as follows.
Magnets are fixed to a support and an annular track with a temperature-sensitive magnetic material or an annular track formed of a temperature-sensitive magnetic material is passed through a magnetic field. A tandem multi-stage thermomagnetic engine comprising a rotary conductor for transmitting the rotation of the engine for each thermomagnetic engine, and a rotary shaft connected to the rotary conductor to transmit the rotation to the outside.

  In the present invention, it is difficult to obtain a large output with only one unit due to the operating principle, but by arranging a plurality of thermomagnetic engines in tandem and interlocking them, the floor area to be installed is small. A multi-stage thermomagnetic engine that can produce high output has been devised.

  Currently, temperature-sensitive magnetic materials such as temperature-sensitive ferrite, Fe-Ni, and Fe-Ni-Cr have been produced, and in recent years, temperature-sensitive magnetic materials such as MnAs and MnFe, which have more excellent magnetic properties, have been developed. When these materials are used, it is possible to make a thermomagnetic engine driven by a heat source of 100 ° C or less, and the tandem multistage thermomagnetic engine of the present invention can obtain a practical high output, so that energy and environmental conservation are achieved. It is extremely useful.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a tandem multi-stage thermomagnetic engine according to an embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of thermomagnetic engines in which a magnet 2 is fixed to a support 4 and an annular track 3 fitted with a temperature-sensitive magnetic material is passed through a magnetic field. Are arranged in multiple stages in a row, and a pulley is attached as a rotary conductor 10 to the rotary shaft 1 of each thermomagnetic engine and the rotary shaft 1 that transmits the rotation to the outside, and a belt is used as the rotary conductor 10 connected between them. This is an example.

  As the rotary conductor 10 in the implementation, a combination of gears, a combination of a sprocket and a chain, a roller, or the like can be used.

  In the present embodiment, the number of stages is three, but in practice, the number of individual thermomagnetic engines and the number of stages can be arbitrarily set according to the output.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of another embodiment of the present invention. In order to obtain a larger output, three thermomagnetic engines are arranged in one stage, and these are arranged in three stages. FIG. FIG.

  The present invention is characterized in that individual thermomagnetic engines are efficiently arranged and connected to and interlocked with the rotating shaft 1 using a rotating conductor 10 such as a belt. Therefore, there is an advantage that maintenance is easy.
