Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 is a front and side configuration diagram showing the overall structure of the power generating apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, an appropriate level of water is filled in a constant volume chamber 1 having an open top, and a separate enclosed space portion 10 separated from the water is formed therein. The float waiting portion and the float supply portion for supplying the float are installed therein.

A power unit composed of a wheel 15 having a diameter that occupies the entire space and a shaft 16 at the center thereof is disposed on the front surface of the chamber 1 to obtain power using the rotational force of the wheel 15. In the upper part of the chamber 1, a float recovery part is disposed above the surface of the water to temporarily accommodate the float rising by buoyancy.

The float waiting portion provided in the space portion separated from the water provides a chain carrier 11 capable of sequentially moving a plurality of floats arranged in a row one by one.

The chain carrier 11 is a kind of circulating conveyor means having an upright structure, and is provided with a float guide pin 22 having a constant pitch, by which the float can be moved down one by one, Accordingly, the float supply unit can always discharge the float at a constant interval.

For example, the float moved by the chain carrier 11 can proceed to the float supply part while falling off the float guide pin 22 and falling naturally downward at the time when it is located at the bottom.

At this time, the guide tunnel 23 is provided in the vicinity of the chain carrier 11, so that the spherical float can proceed in a line without flow or departure.

The chain carrier 11 is operated by a separate external power, such as a motor, the operation speed is controlled by a controller (not shown) in conjunction with the operation of the cylinder of the float supply, wheel operation of the power unit, etc. It becomes possible.

The float supply is a cylinder 12 which can push the float into the water one by one and a guide channel 13 which allows the float pushed out by the cylinder 12 to proceed to the correct position, ie the position in the basket 15. It is composed.

At this time, the cylinder 12 is preferably operated to receive a separate external power, such as a compressor.

The cylinder 12 and the guide channel 13 are arranged in an inclined downward angle at a predetermined angle with respect to the direction of the float discharged from the float atmosphere, and separate isolated enclosed space 10 in the chamber 1. Is fixed to the outlet of the guide channel 13 is located immediately adjacent to the movement trajectory of the basket 14 of the wheel 15, the float exiting the guide channel 13 is the cylinder 12 Meaning can easily enter into the basket 14, which has reached its position immediately by force and buoyancy.

In particular, the exit of the guide channel 13 is equipped with a door 19 that can maintain the normally closed state while receiving the elastic support by the spring, the door 19 is pushed in accordance with the operation of the cylinder 12 It can be forcibly opened by the float, otherwise it can be maintained in the closed state by the restoring force of the spring can prevent the water more than a predetermined amount flowing into the guide channel (13). To this end, the piston of the cylinder 12 is in close contact with the inner wall when moving in the guide channel 13 to prevent the inflow of water.

The power unit is a portion for generating power by using buoyancy caused by the continuous rise of the float, and includes a wheel 15 receives a buoyancy from the float and a shaft 16 integrally assembled to the center of the wheel 15. .

The wheel 15 is a kind of plate having a predetermined diameter, and has a plurality of baskets 14 fixedly arranged at regular intervals along the edge thereof, and the buoyancy of the float received one by one in the basket 14. Received and rotated, it is possible to obtain power by using the rotational force of the shaft 16 to rotate together at this time.

To this end, a gear box 20 capable of increasing the rotational force with a predetermined gear ratio is assembled on the shaft 16 extending to the closed space 10 in the chamber 1, and the output side of the gear box 20 The generator 21 is connected to the generator 21 capable of generating power at the increased rotational force, thereby generating a predetermined power from the rotational operation of the wheel 15 and the shaft 16 and the electric movement of the gearbox 20. Will be.

Here, the basket 14 may have a shape having an inner space that can hold the spherical float out of the outside, but preferably a buoyant force exerted by the float by allowing the spherical float to be accurately seated at its center. It is preferable to use a basket of conical lampshade which can take 100% of its center and can easily settle the float supplied from the float supply unit early.

3 and 4 show the structure of the float recovery unit in the power generating apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the float recovery portion is a portion that collects the float floating on the water surface with the basket 14 of the wheel 15 by using buoyancy, a fence that can trap the float within a certain area (17) and a chain-shaped auxiliary carrier (18) capable of raising and lowering the floats gathered in the fence (17) one by one to the chain carrier (11) of the float waiting section.

The fence 17 is enclosed over a certain area around the water surface, including the top input of the chain carrier 11, and some sections are cut to allow the basket 14 of the wheel 15 to pass through. It is a part.

At this time, the chain-shaped auxiliary carrier 18 is installed upright in the figure, but preferably installed inclined, and also has a float guide pin 22 of the same pitch as the chain-shaped carrier 11, The floats which are lifted and transferred one by one by the carrier 18 can be smoothly introduced one by one without being accumulated at the beginning of the chain-shaped carrier 11.

Here, the float guide pin 22 of the chain-shaped auxiliary carrier 18 is preferably used in the form of a bent end up slightly.

This is because the chain-assisted carrier 18, unlike the chain-carrier 18, which the guide tunnel 23 assists in the progress of the float, transfers upwards because there is no means to hold the float float on the water surface. It is easy to apply the bent form as above.

In addition, the drive of the chain-shaped auxiliary carrier 18 may use a separate drive means, preferably comprising a structure for interlocking with the chain-shaped carrier 11 having a belt transmission means.

Therefore, the float floating together with the basket 14 of the wheel 15 is confined in the fence 17 at the point when the basket 14 passes over the water surface in the fence 17, and the quantity thereof continues to increase. While being pushed by the chain-shaped auxiliary carrier 18 is mounted one by one and proceeds to go through the circulation process is introduced into the chain carrier 18 of the float atmosphere.

Therefore, looking at the operation of the power generator using the buoyancy of the spherical float according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

The float used in the power generating apparatus of the present invention is a spherical float, which is made of a space filled with air or gas.

As a precondition for the operation of the power generating apparatus according to the present invention, at least 10 baskets located in front of the entire guide tunnel 23 section of the drum counterpart and the entire basket 14 of the wheel 15 in the forward direction of rotation. (14) and a plurality of spherical floats each filled in the fence 17 of the drum recovery portion.

When a predetermined start signal is initiated, the chain carrier 11 of the drum standby portion and the chain auxiliary carrier 18 of the drum recovery portion begin operation, and progress is made for discharge and introduction of the float.

As shown in Figs. 5A to 5C, when one float is discharged from the chain carrier 11, the cylinder 12 of the float supply unit is operated at the same time, and the float is pushed out by using the rod. The float moves along the guide channel 13, opens the door 19 and is fed into the water in the chamber 1.

A float forced out of the door 19 of the guide channel 13 by the force of the cylinder 12 and exited into the water is seated in the basket 14 of the wheel 15 reaching its position. The buoyant force exerted by the float allows the wheel 15 to rotate clockwise as shown in the figure.

At this time, the water in the chamber 1 may be introduced into the guide channel 13 at the same time as the door 19 is opened and closed, and the door 19 is closed by self restoring force at the same time as the return operation of the cylinder rod. Only a constant level of water is always introduced into the guide channel 13 and no more is exceeded. That is, since the cylinder 12 remains in close contact with the inner wall of the guide channel 13, the door 19 is completely closed before the piston passes through the guide tunnel 23 when the cylinder 12 moves backward as shown in FIG. 5C. At this time, a small amount of water may be introduced, but the small amount of water introduced is floated again and the cylinder 12 discharges the water to the outside during the process of pushing the plotter, so that only a predetermined amount of inflow water always remains.

In addition, the timing at which the float exits into the water and the timing at which the basket is precisely located can be precisely controlled by a controller (not shown) considering the pitch between the baskets, the speed of the wheel, the stroke of the cylinder, and the like.

The float seated in the basket 14 of the wheel 15 is gradually raised by using buoyancy received in the water in the chamber 1 and all the float is supplied to the basket 14 submerged in the water surface of the traveling direction in the chamber 1. When the wheel 15 is constantly rotated at a high speed, power is generated by the generator 21 through the shaft 16 and the gearbox 20.

Float, which has finished the role of rotating the wheel 15 by using buoyancy, floats on the surface of the water and is gathered in the fence 17 and is sent back to the drum atmosphere under the guidance of the chain-shaped auxiliary carrier 18. Since the wheel 15 can be rotated while going through the circulation process as described above, continuous power generation is enabled.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described specific preferred embodiment, and any person having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims.
