  • Patent number: 10906781
    Abstract: A pneumatic vertical transportation device comprises an expandable cylinder, a carriage rack, an air piping controller, and an air exhauster. The expandable cylinder includes a bellow body, with one end hanging carriage rack and the other end connected with a fixing plate. The expandable cylinder is connected with the air piping controller. While the carriage rack is rising, the air exhauster draws air from the bellow body through the air piping controller to gradually decrease pressure inside. Once pressure difference exceeds weight of the carriage rack, the carriage rack begins to rise. Volume of the expandable cylinder is reduced such that the lower disc of the expandable cylinder approaches top, and the expandable cylinder is maintained at low pressure state. While the carriage rack is descending, air is fed into the expandable cylinder through the air piping controller to gradually expand the bellow body, letting the carriage rack descend.

  • Patent number: 10895251
    Abstract: A device for accumulating atmospheric pressure includes a supporting device, at least two expandable chambers, a five-opening air valve, and an exhauster. The expandable chambers are installed on the supporting device. The number of the expandable chambers is an even number. The expandable chambers are uniformly arranged at two opposite sides of the supporting device. The five-opening air valve is connected with the expandable chambers to communicate with the internal spaces of the at least two expandable chambers, and receives atmospheric pressure. The exhauster connects and communicates with the five-opening air valve. According to the switching state of the five-opening air valve, the exhauster exhausts the internal space of one of the expandable chambers through the five-opening air valve or the atmospheric pressure inflates the internal space of one of the expandable chambers through the five-opening air valve, thereby driving the supporting device.

  • Patent number: 10590907
    Abstract: A device for retrieving energy of flowing water for the riverside is disclosed. The device uses a rotating disk to respectively connect with a first blade and a second blade through two rotating bodies. The first blade and the second blade are respectively located at the first position of an upstream side and the second position of a downstream side. Water pushes the first blade under the surface of water to swing from the first position to the second position, thereby rotating the rotating disk by a rotating distance. Thus, the second blade originally arranged over the surface of water reversely swings to the first position. Then, the second blade sinks in the water. Water pushes the second blade to swing to the second position, and the first blade rises and leaves the surface of water to swing to the first position.
