Technical Field

The present invention relates to a ball wheel assembly that converts the ball movement to electricity for the ball power station.

Background Art

In the present technique, electrical energy is obtained by transmitting the rotary motion to an electricity generator. Many different sources are used to provide this rotational movement. For example, wind energy, the motion energy of the water, the motion energy of the steam can give a movement to turn a wheel and electrical energy is obtained from the generator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a ball wheel assembly that converts the ball movement to electricity for the ball power station. As seen in Figures 1 to 6, the ball wheel assembly of the present invention comprises the following parts: balls (7), a vertical elevator (3) that lifts the balls (7) upward by means of a vertical conveyor belt (4) and one or more ball baskets (5) mounted on it, a ball container (6) for collecting balls (7) that go up in the ball basket (5), a ball pipe (8) that allows the balls (7) collected in the ball container (6) to descend with the force of gravity and has a pipe opening (9) where the balls (7) and the main wheel (1) will contact, a main wheel (1) with a rotating movement due to the downward movement of the balls (7) placed between the teeth on it by the force of gravity, located on a carrier frame (2), a small gear (16) bearing on two opposite bearing housings (23) and a shaft (24), a transmission organ which consists of the first big gear (17), second big gear (18), third big gear (19), fourth big gear (20), fifth big gear (21), sixth big gear (22) and four timing belts (13, 14, 15, 28), a rotational motion generator (10) that contributes to the rotational movement of the main wheel (1) by transmitting a rotational motion to the fourth big gear (20) by means of a timing belt (28) and a gear assembly, a direct current generator (11) that takes the rotational motion by means of a timing belt (14) and converts it to direct current, an alternating current generator (12) that takes the rotational motion by means of a timing belt (13) and converts it to alternating current.

In the ball wheel assembly according to the present invention, said rotational motion generator (10) may be a gearmotor. In addition, ball wheel assembly, comprises a battery (25) that provides energy to said gearmotor. Furthermore, it comprises a battery (26) for storing the energy produced by the direct current generator (11). In a preferred embodiment of the ball wheel assembly according to the present invention, said ball wheel assembly comprises a top wheel (28) which makes the rotational movement of the system more stable and balanced and which is in contact with the main wheel (1).

How the system works:

In the operation of the present ball wheel assembly, the first movement starts with the balls (7) being sent down from the ball container (6) by hand. The balls (7) come down from the ball pipe (8) and when they come to the section of the pipe opening (9), each ball (7) falls down by being inserted into a teeth cavity of the main wheel (1). As the balls (7) go down, they press against the teeth of the main wheel (1) with the force of gravity, and in this way, the main wheel (1) is rotated. The balls (7) that come down from the main wheel (1) are raised up again by means of ball baskets (5) and vertical conveyor belt (4) and again go down from the ball container (6).

Simultaneously with the recirculation of the balls (7) on the main wheel (1), a rotational motion generator (10) fed by a battery (25), preferably a gearmotor, transmits rotational motion to the fourth big gear (20) by means of a timing belt (28) and gear assembly and contributes to the rotational motion of the main wheel (1). Thanks to this gearmotor, the movement of the system becomes more stable. In a case where the gearmotor rotates 46 revolutions, the last gear, the sixth big gear (22), rotates 604 revolutions.

In case the main wheel (1) makes 1 turn, the last gear, the sixth big gear (22) makes 604 turns, the alternating current generator (12) makes 556 turns. These two batteries (25, 26) are 12 V batteries. Said alternating current generator (12) may have different powers depending on the need. In the case study, a 7.5 kW generator was used. Here, a single alternating current generator (12), as well as multiple generators in series can be used. When the system first moves, 12 volt electricity is produced. 12 volt batteries (25, 26) are charged. With the 24 volt electricity to be taken from the batteries, the rotational motion generator (10), namely a gearmotor which provides the system to rotate stably, is operated. While 12 volt electricity is taken from the second big gear (18), 220 volt electricity is taken from the first big gear (17).

On the main wheel (1) located in the existing ball wheel assembly, there are preferably 5 carrier beams going from the center to the periphery. If we accept the space between the two teeth on the main wheel (1) as 1 slot, there will be preferably 45 slots along the peripheral edge. The width of these slots is about 45 mm. Said small gear (16) is 49.90 mm in diameter, has 31 teeth and is 1.5 modules. The big gears (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) are 174 mm in diameter, with 114 teeth and 1.5 modules.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ball basket (5) preferably carries 10 balls (7). The number of the ball basket (5) can preferably be 3, but not more than 5. One ball basket (5) will be full on the vertical elevator (3) at a time. As soon as a ball basket (5) discharges 10 balls (7) above into the ball container (6), the second ball basket (5) will receive 10 balls (7) from below. Each of said balls (7) weigh 250 grams in a preferred embodiment.
