BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The inventor of the present invention discovered the fact that instantaneously blocking water running through the tunnel type passage by shutting the end part of the tunnel type passage generates more energy than striking panel to the running water, and completed the present invention.

The present invention is not generating energy by loading from fluid energy of rectilinear motion such as running water or wind.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the power generating apparatus using fluid is the generation apparatus which obtains power from the rectilinear motion of bucket which puts fluid in itself and moves with fluid, and the power generating apparatus using fluid includes, a bucket to put fluid for loading itself; an opening-and-shutting valve which installed under the bucket to control the direction of water; a controller which connected with the opening-and-shutting valve for opening and shutting the valve; a motion converter which connected with the bucket for make rectilinear motion of the bucket transform into rotary motion; as well as subsidiary materials for connect the bucket with the motion converter.

According to the present invention, work of the opening-and-shutting valve is close the opening-and-shutting valve when the crankshaft which obtains power of rotation attain the highest point. At the moment of the crankshaft attain the highest point and the opening-and-shutting valve instantaneously close, fluid inside the bucket loads the bucket with the direction of flow of fluid, and the load haul the connecting load which is on the highest point and connected with crankshaft to the direction of flow of fluid, and the load make the crankshaft rotate. This operation provides a main cause of the power of rotation. In additionally when crankshaft, which rotating by the power of rotate, reaches the lowest point, the opening-and-shutting valve instantaneously opened by the opening-and-shutting controller which operated by power of internal or external energy. And the power which pulled the connecting load out released and it retuned back to the highest point by the power of rotate of the crankshaft, and it keep rotating, and the opening-and-shutting valve closed at the highest point of crankshaft, and the bucket loaded and makes crankshaft rotate again.

According to the present invention, the method of operating the controller of opening and shutting by power of internal or external energy is basically make the opening-and-shutting valve closed at the point when crankshaft reaches highest point, and it is easy for everybody to understand that this method can adapted in various application. This means the present is not limited to a method of operating controller of opening and shutting by power of internal or external energy as shown on reference.

For example, the controller of opening and shutting is able to include subsidiary equipment selected from the group which consisted by subsidiary equipment for instantaneously opening or closing the opening-and-shutting valve, subsidiary equipment for maintaining the condition of opening the opening-and-shutting valve or closing the opening-and-shutting valve during necessary moments, as well as subsidiary equipment for converting direction of the power, which delivered from the connecting load, of opening or closing the opening-and-shutting valve. And also it can be controlled the conditions of opening-and-shutting valve in various options such as method of opening and closing the opening-and-shutting valve, or the timing of opening and closing the opening-and-shutting valve through the various methods such as the method of connecting the controller of opening and shutting of the opening-and-shutting valve to the opening-and-shutting valve or method of control the direction of motion or process of motion with using winches, cams or springs.

The apparatus of the present invention located from the surface of water to the underwater if the fluid is water. Meanwhile, the bucket sink under the water because of the weight of the opening-and-shutting valve, but the bucket is able to made by some buoyant equipments or consisted of some buoyant equipments or attach some buoyancy to prevent from the bucket get tangled up by running water. It is better to set up the bucket inside of the fixed case for increasing efficiency.

The apparatus of the present invention operates like two-stroke generator of engine, and this apparatus obtains energy by instantaneously blocking running fluid and this energy makes crankshaft rotate by impact from the blocking running fluid. If flywheel or some equipment similar with this, which used with the crankshaft for a complementation, rotation of the crankshaft will get more softness and smoothness.

The power generating apparatus using fluid of the present invention obtains high volume of rotation power from low-located potential energy like running water. Because the power generating apparatus using fluid of the present invention directly using flowing energy which generated by instantaneously put large quantity of fluid into the bucket. And this rotary energy can use by converting it to energy such as electricity, or converting it to another energy with using a pump.

For example, it installed an oil pressure pump to each of crankshaft and convert high pressure of oil pressure, which obtained from each oil pressure pump into another power.

The apparatus of the present invention is able to additionally install locks for prevent the crankshaft or bucket do not move by workers when this apparatus is under repair or service. For example, install loop or clip type stopper in the side of opening-and-shutting valve for prevent bucket from extra going and returning motion, or install loop or clip type stopper in some side of the bucket or the bucket case for prevent bucket from getting loaded from running water with stopper worked by the external power.

And also normally used break equipment is able to install in some part of rotate shaft for stop the rotation of crankshaft. The apparatus of the present invention operates with high sensitivity under the fluid of lower speed and if the fluid is river running at a low speed, the apparatus of the present invention still operate without resistance or disturbance even though there is any dirty such as weeds, because the apparatus directly using the flowing water. Therefore location of installation of environment doesnt affect generation of the apparatus of the present invention. And also the apparatus of the present invention can simply and variously manufactured and installed from the small scale to large scale.

Mode For the Invention

Hereinafter, the power generating apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First Embodiment

The arrows (1000) appeared on each drawings are direction of fluid s flow.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a first embodiment of a power generating apparatus according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of an opening-and-shutting valve according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 the power generating apparatus according to the present invention has bucket 1 (10) and bucket 2 (40) for put water in and get loaded itself. In order to help the understanding, this reference explains about two of buckets, but the number of buckets can be at least one or more than one.

The bucket 1 (10) and bucket 2 (40) are connected to the crankshaft (30), which is motion converter. In other words, the bucket 1 (10) attached on one side of the crankshaft (30) by subsidiary equipment for connection 1 (15), and the bucket 2 (40) attached on the other side of the crankshaft (30) by subsidiary equipment for connection 2 (45).

The subsidiary equipment for connection 1 and 2 use the subsidiary equipment for power delivery such as rope, pipe or chain.

The suggested installation method of the bucket 1 (10) and the bucket 2 (40) is locating the bucket 1 (10) in the highest point of the crankshaft (30) and locating the bucket 2 (40) in the lowest point of the crankshaft (30).

And also, it installs butterfly valve (20), which is able to open and close itself as opening-and-shutting valve, in end part of the bucket 1 (10).

As shown in FIG. 2 the butterfly valve 1 (20) open and close with rectangular rotate centering around a hinge shaft 1 (23) and it cause discharge water inside of the bucket 1 (1p) or seal water inside of the bucket 1 (10) up. (See FIG. 2)

Butterfly valve 2 (50) install in tail part of the bucket 2 (40) equally as the bucket 1 (10) and the butterfly valve 1 (20).

The butterfly valve 1 (20) is connected to the lowest point (D) of the crankshaft (30) which is upper part of the bucket 2 (40) by opening-and-shutting apparatus rope 1 (35), and the butterfly valve 2 (50) is connected to the highest point (U) of the crankshaft (30) which is upper part of the bucket 1 (10) by another opening-and-shutting apparatus rope 2 (36) is connected to the butterfly valve 2 (50).

The opening-and-shutting apparatus install with connected to the crankshaft on the cross by the ropes or bar, pipe, chain or some equipments using extra external power such as electricity or battery connected motors.

Hereinafter, the power generating apparatus according to the present invention will be described with first embodiment to the accompanying drawing.

In FIG. 3 because the butterfly valve 1 (30) of the bucket 1 (10) which located on the highest point (U) of the crankshaft (30) closed, fluid which has the speed of a current filled up inside of the bucket 1 (10) and the bucket 1 (10) move to the rear (in a perspective of flowing water) by the speed of fluid or weight of water.

The bucket 1 (10) move to the rear and it cause the highest point (U) of the upper part of crankshaft (30) move to the lowest point, and it also cause the lowest point (D) of the upper part of crankshaft (30) of the bucket 2 (40) move to the highest point.

Therefore, locations of the bucket 1 (10) and the bucket 2 (40) in FIG. 3 via the location of FIG. 4 and lastly converted into the locations of the bucket 1 (10) and the bucket 2 (40) in FIG. 5.

And also the butterfly valve 1 (20) which install in the bucket 1 (10) move to the rear and opened, and the butterfly valve 2 (50), which install in the bucket 2 (40) move to the front and closed.

In other words, when the crankshaft (30) rotating, the highest point (U) of upper part of the bucket 1 (10) move to the lowest point (D) of upper part of the bucket 1 (10), and the rope 2 (36) become loose and it make the butterfly valve 2 (50), which had opened, shut tight, at this moment the location of the bucket 2 (40) moved to the upper part.

At the same time, the lowest point (D), which located in the upper part of the bucket 2 (40) rotate and move to the highest point (U), and it makes the rope 1 (35) be tight, and the rope 1 (35) makes the butterfly valve 1 (20) converted into the condition of open. And here, location of the bucket 1 (10) is moved to the rare.

Because the butterfly valve 1 (20) is opening by the bucket 1 (10) move to the rare, the bucket 1 (10) minimized loaded from running water when the bucket 1 (10) reached to rare completely, and the bucket 1 (10) have minimized resistance of water when the bucket 1 (10) move to the front.

Continuously, the butterfly valve 2 (50) closed when the bucket 2 (40) reached on the highest point, and then the fluid inside the bucket blocked to move to rare and the power from blocking the bucket delivered to the bucket directly, and the bucket 2 (40) move to the rare. So the process of movement, which mentioned above keep continuing, and finally the crankshaft (30) keep rotating.

In this reason, the crankshaft (30) is possible to rotate continuously by rectilinear motion of numbers of buckets, and even though it is not illustrated on the figures, the power of rotate can be converted into another power such as electricity by connect with generators or some apparatus like generators.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 are illustrations, which is another example of opening-and-shutting valve from the first embodiment.

In other words, form a guide rail (17), which confront outside wall of the bucket 1 (10) and the hinge shaft (83) of the face-downward hinge butterfly valve (80) installed on the guide rail (17) and the butterfly valve (80) is possible to move.

And also both end side of the hinge shaft (83) of the butterfly valve (80) linked with the rope (35) and spring (85) installed in center of the hinge shaft (83) of the butterfly valve (80). It is suggested to use torsion spring for the spring (85), which installed in center of the hinge shaft (83) of the butterfly valve (80).

The spring (85) is not only installed in the hinge shaft but also installed in both wing side of the butterfly valve (80) or middle of the bucket 1 (10).

The same valve with the butterfly valve (80) mentioned above can installed in the bucket 2 (40).

The butterfly valve open when both wing side of butterfly valve got loaded from running water and folded while the hinge (83) move on forward area along the guide rail (17).

And then, when the power, which got loaded on the hinge shaft (83), has released, both wing sides unfolded by the strength of restitution, and the hinge shaft (83) got loaded from resistance of running water and it move to rare. So it makes the butterfly valve shut the bucket (10) tight.

FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are illustrations, which is another example of opening-and-shutting valve from the reference 1.

As shown in FIG. 9, according to the reference 1 of present invention, it is possible to use a structure of crown valve (90) as an opening-and-shutting valve, in here, opening and shutting motion of crown valve is same as the motion of the butterfly valve 1 (20), 2 (50) mentioned above.

The crown valve (90) basically includes a round shaped flame (91), which installed in the lower part of the bucket 1 (10), and more than two of supporting equipments (93), which corn shaped and installed in the upper part of the round shaped flame, and cover (97), which installed in surface of the supporting equipments (93) and open and close the supporting equipments (93), and an elastic equipment (95) which connected between the cover (97) and the round shaped flame (91).

The upper part of the cover (97) linked with rope (35), so that the cover (97) moves along the rope (35) up and down.

In other words, when the rope (35) pulled the cover (97), the cover (97) leave from the corn shaped supporting equipment and make the crown valve (90) opened. And when the power of rope (35) pulling the cover (97) has released, the cover (97) cover the corn shaped supporting equipment (93) by the power of restitution and it makes the crown valve (90) shut.

Running water keep inflowing into the buckets (10,40) and discharging from the buckets (10,40) and it makes crankshaft (30) rotating.

It is not only able to use the opening-and-shutting valve mentioned above, but also able to use the other apparatuses such as a blinder valve, which shown on FIG. 11, as an opening-and-shutting valve.

Even though the power generating apparatus of this present invention, according to reference 2, is able to generated with one bucket installed, for fully understanding and convenience it is going to explain with the bucket 1 (100) and the bucket 2 (200) installed.

Because the bucket 1 (100) has same component as the bucket 2 (200) and internal or external equipments of the bucket 1 (100) and the bucket 2 (200) are same, it is only going to explain about the bucket 1 (100) here.

The hinge butterfly valve (120) installed in the end of the bucket 1 (100) and this butterfly valve (120) can open and shut.

In reference 2 of this present invention, it is explain about the hinge butterfly valve (120) which works in opposite direction with the opening-and-shutting valve mentioned at the reference 1, needless to say, it is possible to apply the opening-and-shutting valve mentioned at the reference 1 to reference 2.

The butterfly valve (120) perpendicularity forms the guide rail (117), which confronted each other, inside of the bucket 1 (100), and the hinge shaft (127) installed in the guide rail (117) and the hinge shaft (127) is inserted and is able to move up and down.

The butterfly valve (120) has a character, which is always try to get unfolded, with spring (123) installed at the center of the hinge shaft (127) of the butterfly valve (120).

And also, as shown in FIG. 13, the butterfly valve (120) installed a guide ball (129) in some part of the side of circumference, and the guide ball inserted in the guide groove, which installed in the bucket 1 (100), rotates along the circumference, and the butterfly valve (120) folded and unfolded through the motion of rotating along the circumference.

The bucket 1 (100) is connected to the connecting load (153) by the subsidiary equipment for connection (155). The subsidiary equipment of pressure 1 (157) and the subsidiary equipment of pressure 2 (159) are immovably installed in the center of the subsidiary equipment for connection (155), and there is certain distance between the subsidiary equipment of pressure 1 (157) and the subsidiary equipment of pressure 2 (159).

And also, with the connecting load (153) as the central figure, the supporting bar 1, 2 (161,162), which are connected to sleeve (160), installed in the crankshaft (150), and both the supporting bar 1, 2 (161,162) connected with the supporting bar 3 (163) and supports each other.

The controller of opening and shutting (130) installed in the supporting bar 1 (161). The controller of opening and shutting (130), the apparatus which open and shut the opening-and-shutting valve with waiting at the point of open and shut and working momentary and minimizing the interim progress time, consists of a pair of paralleled loads and a spring linked the pair of paralleled loads, and a rope which linked the pair of paralleled loads to the opening-and-shutting valve.

For the specific explanation, the paralleled load 1 (133) installed by hinge (131) (132) and the paralleled load 1 (133) can swing front and rare, the paralleled load 2 (134) installed paralleled with the paralleled load 1 (133) by hinge (132) and each crossing point banded together with pins. For the specific explanation, the paralleled load 1 (133) installed by hinge (131) (132) and the paralleled load can move to front and rear, the paralleled load 2 (134) installed paralleled with the paralleled load 1 (133) by hinge (132), which located in upper part of the paralleled load 1 (133), and the cross point of each loads are united by pin. Meanwhile, the spring (135) installed between the paralleled load 1 (133) and the paralleled load 2 (134) and when the two load get out of fixed degree angle, the paralleled load 2 (134) of the controller of opening and shutting (130), which tied by power of spring, get one-way pressure from the subsidiary equipments of pressure (157) (159), which tied on the subsidiary equipments for connection (155), and the paralleled load 2 (134) lean to one side, then it paused until the subsidiary equipment of pressure (157) give another pressure, and it cause the valve instantaneously work and solve a problem of lower power generating occurred.

And also there is a winch (170) installed between the supporting bar 1 (161) and the supporting bar 2 under the controller of opening and shutting (130). The winch used in this present reference works with the opening-and-shutting valve (120) closed when the connecting load (153) reached to the highest point of the crankshaft, one end-side of single rope (136) immovably linked to the winch (170) and some side of the rope (136) rolled up around a roller of winch (170), and another end-side of rope (136) linked to the some side of the paralleled load 1 (133). And one end-side of another rope (136) immovably linked to the winch (170) and some side of the rope (137) rolled up around a roller of winch (170) with opposite direction of the rope primarily mentioned (136), and another end-side of rope (137) linked to the hinge shaft (127) of the butterfly valve (120).

The bucket 2 (200) has same components and structure as the bucket 1 (100).

Hereinafter, it is going to examine the process of the power generating apparatus of the reference 2 carefully.

When the bucket 1 (100), which located in the highest point, is under a situation the opening-and-shutting valve (120) closed, weight and pressure of inflow fluid inflicted, and the bucket 1 (100) move to the rare along running water, and it makes the connecting load (153), which connected to the bucket 1 (100), pulled to the lowest point, which is a same direction as the direction of running fluid, and it makes crankshaft (150) rotate.

And also it cause the pressure supporting equipment (157) (159), which installed in connecting load (153), move along the water and give a pressure to vertical hemline of the paralleled load 1, 2 (133)(134) when connecting load (153) reach to the lowed point.

Then the paralleled load 1 (133) and the paralleled load 2 (134) instantaneously rotate along running water by support power of the spring (130), which located between the paralleled load 1 (133) and the paralleled load 2 (134) with the hinge (131) (132) as the central figure. Meanwhile, the rope 1 (136), which connected to the paralleled load 1 (133), extended and rolled up a roller of the winch (170) with rotating, and the rope 2 (137), which confronted connected, rolled up by rotation of a roller of the winch (170) to opposite direction. And it pulled the other direction of the rope (137) to the direction, which is opposite to the direction of running water, and it cause the opening-and-shutting valve (120), which is connected to the rope located in rare (137) pulled, and it accordingly move along the slide installed in the bucket 1 (100) and open the opening-and-shutting valve (120). Like this, when the opening-and-shutting valve opened completely, a direction of the bucket 1 (100) reach to the lowest point as a direction of the bucket 2 (200) shown in the drawing.

On the contrary, the bucket 2 (200), which located in the lowest point, move against the direction of running water by an inertial rotation of the crankshaft (150) and move to the highest point. Accordingly, the pressure supporting equipment (157) (159), which are installed in connecting load (153), move against the direction of running water and give a pressure to vertical hemline of the paralleled load 1 (133) and the paralleled load 2 (134) when the connecting load reach the highest point. Then, the paralleled load 1 (133) and the paralleled load 2 (134) instantaneously rotate against the direction of running water with hinge as central figure. At this moment, the rope 2 (137), which is connected to the paralleled load 1 (133), extended and roll up a roller of the winch (170) with rotate, and the rope 1 (136), which confronted connected, got loose by rotation of a roller of the winch (170) in opposite side and the other side of rope (137) extended against the direction of running water and the rope (137) move to the rare and it cause the opening-and-shutting valve (120), which is connected to the rope (137), released from load pulled and closed by power of the spring connected to the hinge.

Like this, when the opening-and-shutting valve (120) closed completely, a direction of the bucket 2 (200) reach to the highest point, which is same as a direction of the bucket 1 (100).

When it reach to the highest point, as the motion of the bucket 1 (100), the opening-and-shutting valve closed (120) and weight and pressure of inflow fluid inflicted, and the bucket 2 (200) move to the rare along the running water and keep repeating the same motion, and it makes the crankshaft keep rotating.

The installation of the paralleled load (133) (134) and the pressure supporting equipment (157) (159) have an effect that is generate the opening-and-shutting valve according to the present invention instantaneously and extend the loading and unloading time of the bucket and get high efficiency from it.

The lever 1 (333) and the lever 2 (334) connected to the supporting bar 1 (361) and the supporting bar 2 (362) by spring, and when the pressure supporting equipment (357) (359) give a pressure to the lever 1 (333) and the lever 2 (334), they instantaneously rotate along the running water by power support from the spring (380).

Meanwhile, it is suggested to connect the rope 1 (337) and the rope (339) to the opening-and-shutting valve (320) with crossing each other.

The same component with the bucket 1 (100) installed in the bucket 2 (200).

Hereinafter, it is going to explain about the operation of the power generating apparatus of the present invention according to third embodiment.

When inflow water give a pressure and weight to the bucket (300), which is located in the highest point, the bucket 1 (300) move to the rare along the running water, and it cause the connecting load (353) rotate to the lowest point.

Accordingly, the motion load (355) and the pressure supporting equipment (357) move to the rare, the pressure supporting equipment (357) give a pressure to the vertical hemline of the lever 1 (333) and the lever 2 (334).

Then, the lever 1 (333) and the lever 2 (334) rotate front and rare both sides with hinge as central figure. And the rope 1 (337) and the rope 2 (339), which connected to the lever 1 (333) and the lever 2 (334), pulled to the upper part and gradually open the opening-and-shutting valve (320). When the opening-and-shutting valve opened completely, direction of the bucket 1 (300) is the lowest point same as the direction of the bucket 2 (400).

On the contrary, when the bucket 1 (300) move to the rare and the crankshaft (350) rotate and connecting load (353) move to the upper part, the bucket 2 (400), which located in the lowest point, move to the upper part.

Meanwhile, the opening-and-shutting valve (320) makes the controller of opening-and-shutting (330) closed by the motion of the opposite direction, and this is the reason why it can continuously filled water in it.
