Abstract
A gravity-assisted self-rotating device includes a support unit, a magnet unit located over the support unit, and a rotating unit pivotally turnably mounted on the support unit. The support unit has a bottom and a top extended in a direction opposite to the bottom. The magnet unit and the support unit together define a rotation space for the rotating unit to rotate therein. The gravity-assisted self-rotating device can be applied to a power generating module with a coil unit of the latter mounted on the rotating unit. With these arrangements, the gravity-assisted self-rotating device and the power generating module using same are able to automatically generate electric power output to achieve the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.
Claims14
A gravity-assisted self-rotating device, comprising:
- a support unit having a bottom and a top upward extended in a direction opposite to the bottom;
- a magnet unit including a first magnet section and a second magnet section;
- the first magnet section being correspondingly located over the support unit and the second magnet section being arranged on the bottom of the support unit, such that the support unit and the magnet unit together define a rotation space therebetween;
- and
- a rotating unit being pivotally turnably mounted on the support unit to locate and rotate within the rotation space;
- the rotating unit including a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, and a plurality of first magnetic members;
- the first and the second rotating arm being separately outward extended from two opposite ends of the first magnetic members;
- the first rotating arm internally defining a first slide channel for receiving a second magnetic member therein;
- and the second rotating arm internally defining a second slide channel for receiving a third magnetic member therein.
A power generating module, comprising:
- a fixing unit including a plurality of fixing members;
- a coil unit being supported on the fixing unit, and including a first wiring end and a second wiring end;
- the first wiring end being electrically connected to a first slip ring having a first carbon brush provided thereon;
- the second wiring end being electrically connected to a second slip ring having a second carbon brush provided thereon;
- a second set of magnet unit including a first magnet and an opposite second magnet, which are correspondingly located outside the coil unit;
- and
- a rotating device including:
- a support unit having a bottom and a top upward extended in a direction opposite to the bottom;
- a magnet unit including a first magnet section and a second magnet section;
- the first magnet section being correspondingly located over the support unit and the second magnet section being arranged on the bottom of the support unit, such that the support unit and the magnet unit together define a rotation space therebetween;
- and
- a rotating unit being pivotally turnably mounted on the support unit to locate and rotate within the rotation space;
- the rotating unit including a first rotating arm, a second rotating arm, and a plurality of first magnetic members;
- the first and the second rotating arm being separately outward extended from two opposite ends of the first magnetic members;
- the first rotating arm internally defining a first slide channel for receiving a second magnetic member therein;
- and the second rotating arm internally defining a second slide channel for receiving a third magnetic member therein;
- and
- wherein the fixing unit is mounted to the rotating unit at positions adjacent to a center thereof.
