1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electricity generator, and more particularly to a multiplex supplied and re-circulated hydraulic electricity generator that can generate electricity in a cycle of operation.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional hydraulic electricity generator is used to generate power by water and comprises a hydro-generator. The hydro-generator has a body and multiple blades. The body is hollow. The blades are mounted rotatably in the body. When water flows into the body of the hydro-generator and drives the blades rotating, the rotation of the blades can make the hydro-generator generating electricity.
However, the conventional hydraulic electricity generator needs a lot of water to flow continually into the hydro-generator to drive the blades rotating for generating electricity. Therefore, the conventional hydraulic electricity generator has to be set up near a water source to supply water into the hydro-generator continuously, so the working range of the conventional hydraulic electricity generator is limited. In addition, when water is not enough for driving the blades rotating, the hydro-generator will loss the capability of generating electricity.
The hydraulic electricity generator in accordance with the present invention mitigates or obviates the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a multiplex supplied and re-circulated hydraulic electricity generator that can generate electricity in a cycle of operation.
The hydraulic electricity generator in accordance with the present invention has a drive device, a hydro-generator and a recovering tank. The drive device has at least one compressing unit, and each compressing unit has a storage tube and a compressor. The storage tube has a chamber, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe and a nozzle. The pipes are connected to the storage tube. The compressor is connected to the storage tube and has a piston. The hydro-generator is connected to the at least one compressing unit of the drive device and has a casing, a hydraulic turbine, a windmill and a draining pipe. The hydraulic turbine is rotatably mounted in the casing and has a spindle and multiple blades. The spindle has an outer end extended out of the casing. The windmill is mounted securely on the outer end of the spindle. The recovering tank is connected to the draining pipe of the hydro-generator and the inlet pipe of the drive device to let water that flows out of the hydro-generator flowing back to the chamber of the storage tube.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The drive device (10) has at least one or multiple compressing units (11), and each compressing unit has a storage tube (12) and a compressor (13).
The storage tube (12) is hollow and has a top, a bottom, a chamber (121), an inlet pipe (122), an outlet pipe (123) and a nozzle (126). The chamber (121) is defined in the storage tube (12) to storage water (40). The pipes (121, 122) are connected to the storage tube (12) near the bottom and communicate with the chamber (121), and each pipe (121, 122) has a free end and a check valve (124, 125). The check valves (124, 125) are respectively connected to the pipes (121, 122) between free ends and the storage tube (12). The nozzle (126) is mounted on the free end of the outlet pipe (123).
The compressor (13) may be an oil pressure pump, is connected to the top of the storage tube (12) and has a piston (131). The piston (13) is slidably mounted in the chamber (121) of the storage tube (12) to push the water (40) flowing out of the storage tube (12) from the outlet pipe (123).
The hydro-generator (20) is connected to the at least one compressing unit (11) of the drive device (10) and has a casing (21), a hydraulic turbine (22), a windmill and a draining pipe (24).
The casing (21) is hollow and has two opposite sides. When multiple compressing units (11) are implemented, the compressing units (11) are connected to the casing (21) of the hydro-generator (20) in parallel as shown in
The hydraulic turbine (22) is rotatably mounted in the casing (21) and has a spindle and multiple blades (221). The spindle of the hydraulic turbine (22) is rotatably mounted in the casing (21) and has an outer end extended out of the casing (21). The blades (221) are formed around the spindle of the hydraulic turbine (22), each blade (221) may be semicircular and the nozzles (126) of the storage tubes (12) can inject water (40) onto the blades (221) to rotate the spindle of the hydraulic turbine (22) for generating electricity.
The windmill (23) is mounted securely on the outer end of the spindle of the hydraulic turbine (22) to provide another force to rotate the spindle of the hydraulic turbine (20) with wind power.
The draining pipe (24) is connected to the other opposite side of the casing (21) of the hydro-generator (20) to allow the water (40) flowing out of the hydro-generator (20).
The recovering tank (30) is connected to the draining pipe (24) of the hydro-generator (20) and the inlet pipe (122) of the drive device (10) to let water (40) that flows out of the hydro-generator (20) flow back to the chamber (121) of the storage tube (12) of the at least one compressing unit (11).
