Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a rotary power transmission device for a fluid tornado artificially generated in a fluid, particularly a highly viscous fluid.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, a method of generating an artificial tornado to discharge toxic gas and dust has been developed. For example, it is a method of creating a vortex in a horizontally long exhaust hood and sucking it at the center to cause a tornado, but this is a tornado generated in the exhaust hood and obtains an average horizontally long suction wind speed. And also
There is also a device that gives rotation to a blowing nozzle used for combustion of a burner and blows it onto a tornado, but this is a so-called blowing tornado mechanism, has nothing to do with the fluid tornado of the present invention, and its usage is completely different. It is something.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application has conducted many years of research, developed a mechanism capable of generating an artificial tornado in a free space portion, and disclosed the invention thereof as a patent application (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-261842). According to the present invention, several air blowing pipes are arranged between shielding plates provided with suction ports, and a circulating flow (swirl air flow) is formed in a space in an air curtain formed continuously between the air blowing pipes. In addition, it is a mechanism for generating an artificial tornado by sucking air from the central portion of the circulating flow (swirl flow). That is, the principle of the present invention is that a circulating flow (swirl flow) is formed by an air curtain to give centrifugal force to air molecules, and a negative pressure is generated in the central portion by suction of the central portion, so that a long negative core is formed. Part is formed, centripetal force is given to air molecules, and the circulation flow (swirl airflow) becomes a vortex (spiral flow) within the range where the centripetal force and centrifugal force are balanced, and converges to the center of the circulation flow (swirl airflow). The tornado is artificially generated while being directed toward the suction direction. The fluid characteristics of the artificial tornado generated by the invention of the present applicant are as follows.

a. Suction directivity (the flow velocity toward the suction port does not change even if the flow velocity is away from the suction port), b. It converges like a tornado in the center and the flow velocity is accelerated, c. Negative pressure The core is formed in the center of the circulation flow and extends toward the suction port on average. D. A tornado is formed freely from low speed to high speed within the range where centrifugal force and centripetal force are balanced. , E. The strong rotational potential exists in the center of the tornado even if it is far away from the suction port.

Further, the effect of the present invention is to generate an artificial tornado even in the upward, lateral and inclined directions or in the bent shape having directivity of suction in free space, and to have the directivity of suction inside the pipe. Generating artificial tornadoes in directional, lateral, tilted and bent shapes,
Further, by generating an artificial tornado having directivity of suction in water, each fluid characteristic is applied so that it can be used in a wide range of applications.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The present invention has been improved so that the artificial tornado generating mechanism as developed by the applicant of the present application can be applied to the generation of a fluid artificial tornado, and there is a problem to be solved by the present invention. That is, similar to gas, a tornado is artificially generated with a fluid such as water or oil, and a swirl flow is generated within the pipe by continuously flowing and circulating the fluid. To generate a fluid tornado in the pipe by the swirling flow of the fluid in the pipe to rotate the rotary vanes, and to transmit the rotary power to the rotary shaft by the rotation of the rotary vanes. , Etc. have problems to be solved by the present invention.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention was developed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and one or more inlets are provided on the side wall of the cylindrical body to allow fluids to flow into the cylindrical body so that they are always in the same rotation direction. A fluid tornado generating pipe having a suction port for sucking a fluid substance at the center of one end surface of the tubular body, and a rotary vane having a fixed rotary shaft attached to the other end of the tubular body; The fluid material circulation pipe communicating with the inlet, and the fluid material transfer device provided between the fluid material circulation pipe and the suction port of the fluid tornado generating pipe. A fluid tornado is generated in the fluid tornado generating pipe by causing a fluid to flow into the fluid tornado generating pipe from one or more inflow ports to generate a swirling flow and sucking the fluid from the suction port. , Rotate the rotary blade By transmitting the rotational power of the fluid substance transferor to the rotating shaft can be conventionally impossible to solve all the problems has been difficult. That is, it is possible to artificially generate a fluid tornado in the pipe by injecting the fluid into the pipe and sucking it from one end, and injecting the fluid in the tangential direction and the longitudinal direction of the inner wall of the pipe. By creating a continuous swirl flow in the pipe, a negative pressure core part of the fluid is formed, and an artificial fluid tornado is generated in the part formed in this negative pressure core part. The rotating blades are rotated, and because the fluid tornado generated in this way has a strong rotating potential, the rotating blades can be rotated at high speed. By rotating with a fluid material transfer device such as a pump or a blower, the rotating blades can be rotated by the same fluid material,
The rotation power can be transmitted to the rotating shaft by the rotation of the rotary blades, and the rotation power transmission mechanism can be applied to the driving of automobiles.
There are means for solving the problems of the present invention.

[Action]

The operation of the present invention is basically the same as the artificial tornado generating mechanism developed by the applicant of the present application and already applied. That is, the molecules of the fluid that make up the swirling flow are given a centrifugal force by rotating, and the negative pressure region due to being sucked from the center of the swirling flow is averaged along the center of the continuous swirling flow. The negative pressure core is formed and the centrifugal force of the swirl flow and the centripetal force of the negative pressure core are balanced at a stable position, and the swirl flow becomes a vortex (spiral flow) and converges on the negative pressure core to the suction port. A continuous artificial tornado will be generated.

In this way, the main fluid characteristics of the generated artificial tornado are that the flow velocity toward the suction port hardly changes even at a position away from the suction port. As long as the centrifugal force of the swirl flow and the centripetal force of the negative pressure core due to suction balance
Stable artificial tornado occurs from high speed range (more than 20m / sec) to high speed range. Since the artificial tornado is generated along the center of the vortex, it is possible to form a free artificial tornado such as a vertical tornado, a horizontal tornado, an oblique tornado, or a curved tornado by changing the shape of the continuous eddy current generating mechanism. The eddy current is rapidly accelerated at the velocity converged in the central part, and the rotational potential of the negative pressure core part at the center of the artificial tornado is strongly present even if it is separated from the suction port.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to this drawing.

FIG. 1 shows a fluid tornado generating mechanism used in the present invention, and shows three types of mechanism principles.

FIG. a is the first part of the fluid tornado generating mechanism used in the present invention.
The main mechanism (cylindrical body) 1 is formed by forming an inflow port 2 in the longitudinal direction of the left and right side walls and a suction port 3 in the central part of one end face as shown in the a1 and a2 diagrams. There is. The inflow port 2 is a long hole through which a fluid substance (not shown) having a particularly high viscosity such as air, water, oil, etc. flows into the main pipe 1, and the fluid substance is tangential to the side wall surface of the main pipe 1 and extends longitudinally. It is shaped so that it can flow in any direction. Although the inflow port 2 is formed in a long hole in this embodiment, it may be formed with a gap. The suction port 3 is for sucking the fluid substance introduced from the inflow port 2 toward the suction port. Next, a method of generating a fluid tornado by the main pipe 1 will be described. First, when a fluid substance is sucked from the suction port 3 (by using a fluid substance transfer device such as a pump), the fluid substance flows in from an inflow port 2 formed in the tangential direction of the inner wall surface of the main pipe 1 and in the longitudinal direction. Will be done. Then, since the inflow port 2 is provided in the tangential direction of the inner wall surface, the inflowing fluid substance is
A swirling flow C is formed in the main pipe 1. The negative pressure core portion B is formed in the longitudinal direction from the swirling flow C toward the suction port 3, and the fluid tornado A is formed around the negative pressure core portion B. Since the fluid tornado A artificially formed is formed by swirling a fluid substance, the fluid tornado A has a spiral shape that is converged at the center and accelerated. The fluid tornado A formed in such a state can generate a strong rotation potential.

FIG. b is a second view of the fluid tornado generating mechanism used in the present invention.
This is the principle mechanism of the main pipe 1 as shown in Fig. B1 and Fig. B2.
An auxiliary pipe (fluid circulation pipe) 4 with a pump (fluid transporter) 5 is integrally formed on the side wall of the. A fluid inlet 2 is formed at the joint between the auxiliary pipe 4 and the main pipe 1. Further, a pump 5 is attached to an upper portion of the auxiliary pipe 4 so that a fluid substance in the auxiliary pipe 4 can flow into the main pipe 1 from the inflow port 2. That is, by integrally molding the main pipe 1 and the auxiliary pipe 4 for ejecting a fluid substance, the main pipe 1
A fluid substance can be constantly made to flow into the inside. The action of ejecting the fluid from the auxiliary pipe 4 and the main pipe 1
With the suction action of the suction port 3, the fluid tornado A similar to that shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the number of auxiliary pipes 4 is one, but any number of auxiliary pipes 4 can be provided if necessary.

FIG. 3C shows the third part of the fluid tornado generating mechanism used in the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1c and 1c2, the pump 5 of the auxiliary pipe 4 and the suction port 3 of the main pipe 1 shown in FIG. Through this pump 5, the fluid substance in the auxiliary pipe 4 is constantly circulated in the main pipe 1. in this way,
By circulating the fluid substances in the main pipe 1 and the auxiliary pipe 4, the fluid tornado A can be always generated in the main pipe 1 with the same amount of the same fluid substance. Although this embodiment shows one auxiliary pipe 4, any number of auxiliary pipes 4 can be arranged as required.

FIG. 2 shows the principle of the fluid tornado generating mechanism used in the present invention. According to the principle mechanism used in the present invention shown in FIG. 1, a circulating swirling flow C as shown in this figure is formed. The negative pressure core portion B is formed along the center by the suction of the swirling flow C from the central portion, and the negative pressure core portion B extends long toward the suction port. This negative pressure core portion B gives a centripetal force to the molecules of the swirling fluid, and the swirling flow becomes a vortex flow (spiral flow) and is accelerated while converging to the central portion to generate a fluid tornado A around the negative pressure core portion B. I will let you.

FIGS. 3 to 6 show a rotary power transmission device using a fluid tornado according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a specific embodiment thereof. As is clear from this figure, the present embodiment is a concrete device of the principle mechanism shown in FIG. 1C, 11 is a fluid tornado generating pipe, and 14 is a fluid circulating pipe. . Both pipes 11, 14
Has an inflow port 12 formed integrally with it, and both ends 11 and 14 are connected to each other via a pump or a blower (fluid material transfer device) 15 at one end. Also, a fluid tornado generating pipe
At the other end of 11, a rotary blade 16 fixed to a rotary shaft 17 is installed. In addition, 13 is a suction port and 18 is a bearing. With such a configuration, a fluid object (not shown) such as oil is constantly circulated in both pipes 11 and 14, and at the same time, an artificial tornado of the fluid object is generated in the fluid tornado generating pipe 11. You can That is, as shown in FIG. B, the fluid substance is in a vortex state in the fluid tornado generating pipe 11, and the swirling flow C and the negative pressure core portion B as shown in FIG. 1 are formed to generate the fluid tornado A. be able to.
Due to the generation of the fluid tornado A, as shown in FIG.
16 will rotate. This is due to the characteristics of the artificial tornado of the fluid, in which the vortex of the fluid is converged to the center and accelerated as described above, and there is a strong rotary potential. Since the rotary shaft 17 is rotated by the rotation of the rotary blades 16, this rotary power can be used as various power sources. In addition,
In this figure, there is one fluid circulation pipe 14, but two or more fluid circulation pipes 14 may be provided as shown in FIG. 4a, and if necessary, an outer frame as shown in FIGS. The pipe 19 may be provided. Further, as shown in FIG.
The same effect can be obtained by a method in which the fluid tornado generating pipe 11 and the fluid tornado generating pipe 11 are separated and introduced from the inflow port near the rotary blade to circulate the fluid. Next, a specific rotary power transmission device of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 shows a drive mechanism of an automobile, FIG. 6a shows a conventional mechanism, and FIG. 6b shows a rotary power transmission device using a fluid tornado of the present invention. Conventional drive mechanism (a
In the figure, a structure including an engine 20, an oil clutch 21 (or a disc clutch), a transmission 22, a universal joint 23, a propeller shaft 24, a differential gear 25, and the like causes an axle 26 to rotate and drive wheels 27.
Is rotating. That is, in the conventional automobile, the rotational power generated from the engine 20 is connected to the transmission 22 through the oil clutch 21 (or disc clutch), and further the universal joint 23 and the propeller shaft are used.
The drive wheels 27 are driven by being transmitted to an axle 26 via a differential gear 25 and a differential gear 25. In this case, the oil clutch 21 rotates the sealed oil to transmit power, but since the artificial tornado is not used, the rotary blades on the engine side and the rotary blades on the transmission side should be very close to each other. Is required. Therefore the engine
The larger the gap between the rotary blade on the 20 side and the rotary blade on the drive wheel 27 side, the worse the transmission efficiency of the rotary power and the more it cannot be used. Therefore, the power transmission from the oil clutch 21 to the drive wheels 27 has a mechanical structure, which causes various problems. This problem can be solved by using the rotary power transmission device using a fluid tornado capable of transmitting rotary power according to the present invention.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6b, the engine 20 is used to rotate the oil pump (fluid material transporter) 28 to connect the oil tornado generating pipe (fluid tornado generating pipe) 29 to the conventional oil clutch 21. Thus, the rotational power of the engine 20 can be easily and easily transmitted to the drive wheel (rotary shaft) 27. That is, an oil tornado (fluid tornado) is generated in the oil tornado generating pipe 29, and a strong rotational potential occurs at the center of this oil tornado (not shown). Moreover, it is already known that rigidity is generated in the center of a fluid with high viscosity such as oil by swirling at high speed.
The center of the artificial tornado is formed like a steel rod and is rotated at high speed. By this rod-shaped rotation, strong rotational power can be transmitted to the drive wheels 27 that are far away. In addition, since it is possible to freely change the direction of the rotary shaft without changing the direction of the rotary shaft by the universal joint 23 and the differential gear 25 as in the conventional case, it is possible to directly interlock with the drive wheel 27. In addition, the clutch function can be provided by simply stopping the oil tornado (driving the oil pump idle) and operating it, and the rotation speed can be freely controlled only by changing the oil circulation speed. it can. In the present embodiment, the case of an automobile is shown, but the present invention can be applied to transmission of rotational power other than this. For example, gears, shafts, link rods, etc. are mechanical transmission means, but if a transmission mechanism for the rotational power of an oil tornado using the present invention is used, the flexibility of transmission is greatly effective and economical. It is possible to provide a rich rotary power transmission device.

FIG. 7 shows an experimental example of the present invention, which was carried out by the apparatus as shown in FIG. This experimental example is an experiment conducted with air.

Experimental structure Main pipe 31 (fluid tornado generating pipe) Inner diameter 20cm Auxiliary pipe 34 (fluid circulation pipe) Inner diameter 8cm Each pipe vertical height H50cm, horizontal length M50cm, bend R30cm Jet port (inlet) 32 mouth width 4mm Suction pipe (Suction port) 33 Diameter 6 cm Pump (fluid material transfer machine) 35 Normal blower Rotating blade 36 Diameter 17 cm, 8 blades Bearing 38 Normal bearing Tachometer 37 Normal tachometer Experimental result Jet flow velocity 4.7 m / sec, Circulating air flow rate The rotation speed of the rotary blade was 836 rpm at 1.4 m3 / m.

Experimental conclusion The fluid dynamics law is established if the number of Reynolds is matched, and 836 rpm is obtained with only 1.4 m3 / m in air, which means that if a viscous fluid such as oil is used, the rotation torque is transmitted along with the rotation speed. It has been found that it is possible and that a sufficient rotational power transmission function is obtained.

〔The invention's effect〕

Since the present invention is configured as described above, air, water,
Among oils, etc., a fluid tornado can be generated easily and easily with a particularly viscous fluid substance or a simple mechanism.
Furthermore, it can be applied to the rotational power transmission mechanism of an automobile or the like by utilizing the characteristic of the artificially generated fluid tornado.
Moreover, since the mechanism itself is simple, the device for generating a fluid tornado is also simple. It can be said that the applied device is a rotary power transmission device using a fluid tornado that can be used for each mechanical device.
