Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A power device using a gas to drive a liquid, comprising:
a container, having a first chamber, a second chamber, and a communicating hole formed between the first chamber and the second chamber; a specific quantity of liquid, filled into the first chamber and the second chamber; a driving mechanism, including a first moving object contained in the first chamber; a specific quantity of gas, filled into the first chamber and situated between the first moving object and a liquid surface of the specific quantity of liquid; and a power generator, installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole; thereby, a gas pressure inside the first chamber is higher than a gas pressure inside the second chamber when the first moving object moves towards the interior of the first chamber to compress the specific quantity of gas, such that the specific quantity of liquid is driven to pass through the communicating hole to drive the power generator; and the gas pressure inside the first chamber is lower than the gas pressure inside the second chamber when the first moving object moves towards the exterior of the first chamber to reduce the pressure of the specific quantity of gas, such that the specific quantity of liquid flows back from the communicating hole to drive the power generator.
2 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the container is formed by enclosing a plurality of plates into a hollow body, and a partition is installed in the hollow body for dividing the interior of the container into the first chamber and the second chamber, and the communicating hole is formed at a position of the bottom of the partition.
3 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first chamber includes a lining member installed therein and a through hole formed on the lining member, and the first moving object moves back and forth in the through hole.
4 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a first drainage structure installed at corners of the first and second chambers separately, and each of the first drainage structures has an arc drainage surface.
5 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism is a vertical driving mechanism, and the first moving object is moved vertically back and forth in a longitudinal direction.
6 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism is a horizontal driving mechanism, and the first moving object moves back and forth in a horizontal direction.
7 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism further includes an electric motor, a driving wheel and a first link rod, and the electric motor is mounted on the container, and the driving wheel is sheathed on the electric motor, and an end of the link rod is pivotally coupled to another end of the driving wheel that is pivotally coupled to the first moving object.
8 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 7 , wherein the driving mechanism further includes a second link rod and a second moving object, and the driving wheel is sheathed on the electric motor, and an end of the second link rod is pivotally coupled to the second moving object that is pivotally coupled to another end of the driving wheel, and the second moving object is contained in the second chamber.
9 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 8 , further comprising another specific quantity of gas contained in the second chamber and situated between the second moving object and a liquid surface of the specific quantity of liquid.
10 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , wherein the power generator includes a motor portion and an impeller coupled to the motor portion and installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole.
11 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 10 , wherein the container further includes a second drainage structure installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole and coupled to the bottom of the container, and the second drainage structure includes two drainage blocks, two check valves and two diversion blocks, and each of the drainage blocks is installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole and coupled to the bottom of the container, and each of the diversion blocks is installed at a corresponding edge of the impeller, and an end of each of the check valves is pivotally coupled to the drainage block, and another end of each of the check valves is closed or opened intermittently in a flowing direction of the specific quantity of liquid.
12 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 11 , further comprising a converging passage and a diverging passage formed between each of the drainage blocks and each of the diversion blocks, and the converging passage being formed on a side of the impeller for flowing in the specific quantity of liquid, and the diverging passage is formed on a side of the impeller for flowing out the specific quantity of liquid.
13 . The power device using a gas to drive a liquid as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a third drainage structure installed in the first chamber and the second chamber, and the first chamber and the second chamber having a plurality of holes with different diameters formed therein.
14 . A power device using a gas to drive a liquid, comprising:
a container, having a first chamber, a second chamber, and a communicating hole formed between the first chamber and the second chamber; a specific quantity of liquid, filled into the first chamber and the second chamber; a driving mechanism, including a moving object contained in the first chamber; a specific quantity of gas, filled into the first chamber and situated between the moving object and a liquid surface of the specific quantity of liquid; and a power generator, installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole; thereby, the moving object is moved back and forth to increase or decrease a pressure of the specific quantity of gas to drive the specific quantity of liquid to flow out or in from the communicating hole, such that the power generator generates power.
15 . A power device using a gas to drive a liquid, comprising:
a container, having a first chamber, a second chamber, and a communicating hole formed between the first chamber and the second chamber; a specific quantity of liquid, filled in the first chamber and the second chamber; a gas with a variable pressure, filled into the first chamber, and situated at the top of a liquid surface of the specific quantity of liquid; and a power generator, installed at a position corresponding to the communicating hole; thereby, a pressure of the gas can be increased or decreased to drive the specific quantity of liquid to flow into or out from the communicating hole, such that the power generator generates power.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
