Description
53~3 SPINDLE DRIVE WITH EXPANSE _ E HEBREW MOTORS
The present invention relates to spindle drives with expansible chamber motors.
According to the present invention, I provide a power system comprising:
a shaft which contains at least one spiral groove on the outer surface thereof;
a sleeve concentrically mounted on said shaft, a projection emanating from the inner surface of the sleeve and in operative engagement with said groove, such that reciprocation of said sleeve lo causes rotation of said shaft;
an expansible chamber motor consisting of a housing, a first fluid within said housing; and an electric resistance wire passing through said first fluid whereby upon energi~ation of said wire the first fluid expands within said housing;
said motor further consisting of a second fluid housed within a deformable chamber within said housing, wherein slid chamber is in fluid communication with said first fluid whereby upon energization of said wire the first fluid expands to displace said deformable chamber and the second fluid contained therein; at least one output element of said motor which reciprocates as a result of the movement of said second fluid within the chamber; and a transmission means connecting the output element to said sleeve, whereby said sleeve is reciprocated as a result of the reciprocating movement of the output element and rotary movement of said shaft is obtained.
The present invention may be used on many applications - for example, a surfboard wherein the mechanism of the present invention can pump water through bellows inside the surfboard to propel the surfboard, as the spindle shaft rotates freely. When taken out ox the water, wheels can be mounted to it and activated through the spindle by a pulley and belt; additionally, wings can be mounted to it as the spindle rotates a propeller. Also, one can take this invention into a home for heating purposes, since the heat exchanges are sufficient to heat a sizable room.
All parts can be made of very light material, light enough to compete with a bird per lb/h.p. Additionally, the design is like a flat skeleton and therefore can be installed inside a wing or board. Furthermore, the machine has no dead center and therefore can operate at any RIP All parts except PAT 6855~
the spindle move in slow motion, which reduces friction and warts.
Therefore, it can be concealed for the life time of the machine which can outlast a human life time, without service, and above all no noise or any polluting aspects are involved. It can operate underwater, ion the atmosphere and in space.
The invention will now be described further by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is an explanatory plan view of a spindle drive with expansible chamber motors, Figure 2 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the expansible chamber motors under contraction, Figure 3 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the expansible chamber motors under expansion, Figure 4 is a perspective front cross-sectional view of an expansible chamber motor as shown in figure 3, Figure 5 is a partly sectional explanatory view of the paw mechanism in a left stroke action, and Figure 6 is a partly sectional explanatory view of the paw mechanism in a right stroke action.
Referring to the Figures, in Figure 1, there is shown a spindle drive activated by expansible chamber motors 1. The principal of this machine is to slide several paws 2, pa, stroke-wise along a spindle 3, to rotate the spindle in order to do physical work. The movement of the paws is achieved through the expansible chamber motor 1. The expansible chamber motors are installed between two crossing bars 4, whereby the cross-sections of the bars are secured by a pin to achieve shear action by connecting one end of each bar to push rod 6, as the other end of the bar is joined to paw mechanism 2.
Therefore, when both push rods 6 are moved outward, the paws 2 and pa are moved apart from each other to rotate spindle 3. When the expansible chamber motors contract as shown in the lower part of Figure 1, paw units 2 and pa are moved against each other and at the same time expansible chamber motors 7 and pa are moved apart from each other. Stroke action of the spindle drive mechanism rotates the spindle as the stroke action from the expansible chamber motors activates bellows 8 and 10, mounted upon expansible chamber motors 1 and 7. As bellows 8 is expanded, the surrounding air is sucked through ~'~3~53~3 one-way inlet valve 9. When bellows 10 is contracted us shown in Figure 1, the air inside bellows 10 becomes pressurized, whereby air pressure is directed through one-way valve 11, into a flexible hose 12, which directs the pressurized air into air turbine 13, to activate alternator 14, in order to charge battery 15, to supply the electricity needed to activate expansible chamber motors 1 and 7. The air from thy turbine 13 exits through outlet 16.
n this fashion, the expansible chamber motors do all the work to rotate the spindle and activate bellows 8 and 10 to rotate the turbine 13, via alternator 14, to charge battery 15. The battery must be recharged or changed when it is used up. To achieve a continuous rotation in one direct of spindle 3, paw mechanism 2 consists of two paws 17 and 18 - see iris 5 and 6. Each paw is matched to the spindle track by a track shoe whereby each shoe fits to a spindle track of opposite direction. Two paws 17, 18, with opposite rotation (Figure 5) are joined in a cylinder 19, which in the center has two opposite stationary ratchet gears I When the paw mechanism of Figure 5 moves from the right to the left, paw 17 is inter meshing with stern ratchet gear of paw 20 and with stern stationary ratchet gear 21, when paw unit moves from the left to the right as shown in Figure 6. Then, paw 17 automatically disengages from stationary ratchet Lear 21, at the same time paw lo is intermission with stationary ratchet gear 21. Therefore, a right or left stroke action of paw bushing cylinder 2, sequentially engages one paw as the other dissn~ages and thereby rotates the spindle in one direction regardless of the direction in which paw bushing cylinder 19 is moved. The paws are kept in position by spring 22 and plate 23, screwed~a~ainst paw cylinder 19 by screw 24.
Expansible Chamber Honors:
Thy expansible chamber motors are a vital part of this machine and come in different designs depending on the energy source activating these motors. The present invention introduces a new design to simplify the operation of the machine and improve the efficiency by using the expansion and contractions of the working fluid to do physical work. This is a new approach in thermodynamics thereby the upper and lower cycle can do the same work by the same force, with the exception that the load applied to the lower cycle cannot ~L'Z3~53~
be greater than atmospheric pressure.
the statements herein made are the results of experimentation with a model built exactly as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Pressure cell 28 figure 2) is filled partly with ammonium hydroxide 25 and the rest of thy pressure cell is filled with purified Tulane 26. There can be no gas bubbles in between and therefore a bleeder valve 27 is installed at the highest point of the pressure cell. The pressure cell 28 has tapered openings 29, to communicate piston seal 31 and push rod 32, through cylinder 30, with pressure cell 28 - both openings 29 extending to the inside of pressure cell 28. In order to join both cylinders into a flexible bladder 33, the bladder and push rod cylinder 30 are filled with a hydraulic oil 34, to lubricate the movement of the piston seal and push rod. 'rho advantage of the bladder is that a greater surface is exposed to the working fluid, which in return increases the stroke action of push rod 32. Additionally, the bladder 33 prevents worming fluid from leaking through piston seal 31. To activate the expansible chamber motors, electrical resistance wire 35 is joined to two contacts 36 and 37 (Figure 2) on the inside of the motor, these contacts penetrating the motor case and extending to the outside in order to make contact. As shown in Figure 2, the resistance wire 35 does not come in contact with the ammonium hydroxide 25, but with Tulane 26, which is an electrically nonconductive substance. Fissure 2 shows the expansible chamber motors in their relaxed state. Figure 3 shows the expansible chamber motors under expansion. In this position, a limit switch 38 (Figure 1) will cut off the flow of electricity to the resistance wire, whereby the motor cools off and moves linkage 4, and expansible chamber motor 7 moves outward. This is the moment that limit switch 39 closes the circuit to supply the electricity needed to activate the expansible chamber motors.
The back stroke of the machine is weaker than the outward stroke, Therefore, springs 40, installed between linkage 4, will assist the back stroke. In order to shorten the cool-off period of the expansible chamber motors, puffy 42 mounted upon spindle 3 and rotates propeller 41 for cooling purposes.
Figure 4 shows a perspective cross section view of an expansible chamber motor as described above, in order to show the opening 29 of bladder 33.
While there have been shown and described and pointed out the fundamental fakers of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form PAT 6855-l ~'~3~S3~
and detail of the device illustrated and in its detail may be made by those swilled in the art without departing from spirit of the invention. Lt is the intention, therefore, to be limited only a indicated by the scope of the following claims.
