Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present inventor previously proposed a device for generating energy by moving rollers inside the hull and moving pistons by utilizing the rocking of a ship due to the swells of waves. , obtained patent No. 947111.

That is, this device has a compartment formed by partitioning the width direction of the ship into a plurality of compartments, and a roller provided in the compartment so as to move freely on the board surface of the compartment, and a supporter supporting the roller. A piston means is provided below the plate surface of the child means and the lever means so as to operate when the roller slides on the plate surface and the lever means swings, and generates energy by utilizing sea waves. It is something that encourages people to do what they do.

The present invention is devised to increase the sway of the ship, and the bottom of the ship is given a special shape and a movable ballast is provided with the ability to cause heeling, so that the repeated action from bow heel to stern heel is achieved one after another. Encourage them to repeat. In addition, cylindrical buoyancy bodies are installed on both sides below the waterline in the center of the ship to constantly float up and down.
This is done so as to cause left-right imbalance.

Hereinafter, an example of implementing the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 is a hull, and the width W direction of the hull 1 is partitioned into a plurality of compartments. In the illustrated example, 2A, 2B,
It is divided into 5 rooms: 2C, 2D, and 2E.
Each of the compartments is composed of three layers: an upper layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer. Further, in the length L direction of the hull 1, two examples having the same configuration as above are shown side by side.

Each compartment is thus provided with lever means as described below. That is, reference numeral 3 denotes a lever plate, and a ball bearing is adopted for the seesaw support H to support the lever plate so as to be able to swing from side to side in the illustrated example along the direction of wave propagation. The roller 4 is placed freely. 5 is a locking plate provided integrally with the lever plate on the upper surface of both ends of the lever plate;
6 is an air compressor installed near the lower surface of both ends of the lever plate.

Here, the air compressor 6 has a cylinder 6 as shown in FIG.
A piston 6c supported by a spring 6b is provided in the piston a, and the piston rod 6d of the piston 6c is made to protrude from the lower surface of the lever plate 3 using an O-ring 6m. 6g is an air flow pipe, and 6h is a compressed air discharge pipe.

Reference numeral 7 indicates a spring provided at an intermediate position of the air compressor in order to facilitate the return of the swinging lever plate 3, and reference numeral 8 indicates a ventilator provided in each chamber, which is connected via an air pipe (not shown). are connected to the air inflow pipes of each of the air compressors 6, and the compressed air discharge pipes of each air compressor are collected into a collection pipe 11 via an air pipe 10, respectively.
The air is sent to a turbine 13 via an air pressure regulating valve 12. Although not shown in the above embodiment, the air inlet pipe and the outlet pipe of each air compressor are each provided with a directional valve for unilaterally allowing air to flow in and out.

The above is Patent No. 947111, which was previously proposed by the present inventor, but the present invention device particularly forms the bottom of the ship 1 into an uneven wave shape 15, and also forms the bottom of the ship 1 into a wave shape 15 of uneven waves. Ballast tanks 15a, 15 are shaped like corrugated lines extending from the bow side A to the stern side B, with a small volume at the center and a large volume at both ends.
b, 15c (see Fig. 4). However, in order for these ballast tanks to always have a floating property, a moderate amount of seawater 16 is injected into these ballast tanks, and the mobility in a certain direction is achieved from when the bow is heeled to when the stern is heeled, depending on the heeling ability. The greater weight and lever accommodates the trim movement moment and provides greater tilting capability.

In other words, since the bottom of the tank has a special uneven shape when viewed from the wave surface, the seawater in the tank loses its ability to move unilaterally in the direction of inclination, and moves at an appropriate speed that matches the shape. Thereby, the repulsive force exerted on the inclined end portion can be suppressed appropriately. Furthermore, it is possible to completely move seawater smoothly and without waste, adapting to the slope of the bow and stern.
After the movement, the seawater, which is nomadic, has a moderate repulsive force, and when the next tilting force occurs, it immediately responds to it and becomes the cause of the tilting force that causes the next movement.

Next, in the device of the present invention, in addition to the buoyancy of the hull, other large cylindrical buoyant bodies 20, 20' are attached to both sides below the water line, and the cylindrical buoyant bodies 20, 2
By providing 0' under water, the hull loses its vertical stability, as well as its longitudinal and aft stability. The reason for this is that a cylindrical buoyant body has the property of always trying to float, but it is always located underwater, and as a result, it has the ability to return to the surface by the size of the buoyant body underwater, while the hull has a tendency to float due to gravity and buoyancy. The two have the property of floating on the water surface in equal and opposite directions and in phase equilibrium, so these two contradictory properties cause the body to lose its balance by the difference in buoyancy, causing the hull to constantly float up and down, and float on either side. It brings out the imbalance.

If this balance is lost and a unilateral external force is applied to the hull, the hull becomes sensitive to heeling force (trim) due to the above-mentioned special hull shape. For example, when trying to change the heel from a bow heel to a stern heel, when waves act on a bow-heeled hull, the force applied to the bow side will be stronger due to the shape of the hull, and this force will cause the hull to move toward the center where the buoyancy distribution is large. trying to return to
Furthermore, the center section, which has lost its balance, shifts to the other side of the stern, and this becomes noticeable in conjunction with the effect of the moving ballast mentioned above.

Reference numerals 21 and 21' are air jet ports provided at the bow and stern ends of the ship, through which a portion of the compressed air from the air compressor 6 is transferred to operating valves (electromagnetic valves) 22a, 22'a and branch pipes 22b, 22'b. The jet is temporarily ejected toward the sea surface, and repulsion is applied as needed. Said means are installed as auxiliary ones.

When using the device of the present invention, the width W direction of the hull 1 is set so as to face the side P where waves are rushing, and the vessel is moored in a harbor curve or on the sea using anchors, buoys 23, etc. The action of the hull 1 being rocked by ocean waves and compressed air being generated is as follows.

As shown in Fig. 5 A, B, and C, rollers 4 are slidably provided on the upper surface of the lever plate 3, so that when the ship is rocking and tilting, the rollers 4 move as shown in Fig. 5 B or C. The upper surface of the lever plate 3 is moved left and right in this manner to press the air compressor 6 provided below the plate surface. In the air compressor 6, for example, if the roller 4 moves to the left on the upper surface of the lever plate 3 as shown in FIG. 6h to the collection pipe 11 via the air pipe 10. However, the lever plate 3
A spring 7 is provided on the lower surface of the boat, and the roller 4 is moved to the right side of the board so that it can be returned to its original position as soon as the hull 1 tilts in the opposite direction.
As shown in the figure, the piston 6c is lifted by the spring 6b, so that the inlet pipe 6f is placed inside the room.
More fresh air flows in.

Therefore, as the hull 1 swings, the rollers 4 slide on the lever plates 3, thereby alternately pressing the air compressors 6 and automatically generating compressed air.

The compressed air is then fed into the turbine 13 to rotate the turbine and generate electric power.

The device of the present invention is configured as described above, and is capable of effectively utilizing sea waves and increasing the sway of the ship to effectively operate the air compressor, thus saving resources. It is a great contribution to industry today as a highly efficient energy generating device.
