Abstract
A transmission mechanism includes a housing, an input shaft extending through the housing, two first transmission members rotatably sleeved on the input shaft and respectively having a first bevel gear portion, an output shaft extending through the housing, and a second transmission member sleeved fixedly on one end of the output shaft and having a second bevel gear portion meshing with the first bevel gear portions of the first transmission members. When the input shaft is driven to rotate in a first or second rotational direction, the second transmission member and the output shaft are driven by one or the other of the first transmission members to rotate in an output rotational direction. An energy conversion device having the transmission mechanism is also disclosed.
Claims12
A transmission mechanism, comprising:
- a housing;
- an input unit including an input shaft extending through said housing, an input gear fixed to one end of said input shaft and located externally of said housing, and two first transmission members rotatably sleeved on said input shaft and located in said housing in a spaced apart manner, each of said first transmission members having a first bevel gear portion;
- and
- an output unit including an output shaft extending through said housing and transverse to said input shaft, and a second transmission member sleeved fixedly on one end of said output shaft and located in said housing, said second transmission member having a second bevel gear portion meshing with said first bevel gear portions of said first transmission members;
- wherein, when said input shaft is driven to rotate in a first rotational direction, one of said first transmission members is driven by said input shaft to rotate therewith in said first rotational direction, while the other one of said first transmission members is in an idle state, and said second transmission member and said output shaft are driven by said one of said first transmission members to rotate in an output rotational direction and to drive said other one of said first transmission members to rotate in a second rotational direction opposite to said first rotational direction;
- and
- wherein, when said input shaft is driven to rotate in said second rotational direction, said other one of said first transmission members is driven by said input shaft to rotate therewith in said second rotational direction, while said one of said first transmission members is in an idle state, and said second transmission member and said output shaft are driven by said other one of said first transmission members to also rotate in said output rotational direction.

An energy conversion device, comprising:
- a transmission mechanism including a housing, an input unit and an output unit, said input unit including an input shaft extending through said housing, an input gear fixed to one end of said input shaft and located externally of said housing, and two first transmission members rotatably sleeved on said input shaft and located in said housing in a spaced apart manner, each of said first transmission members having a first bevel gear portion, said output unit including an output shaft extending through said housing and transverse to said input shaft, and a second transmission member sleeved fixedly on one end of said output shaft and located in said housing, said second transmission member having a second bevel gear portion meshing with said first bevel gear portions of said first transmission members;
- a drive member meshing with said input gear, wherein, when said input shaft is driven by said drive member to rotate in a first rotational direction, one of said first transmission members is driven by said input shaft to rotate therewith in said first rotational direction, while the other one of said first transmission members is in an idle state, and said second transmission member and said output shaft are driven by said one of said first transmission members to rotate in an output rotational direction and to drive said other one of said first transmission members to rotate in a second rotational direction opposite to said first rotational direction;
- and wherein, when said input shaft is driven by said drive member to rotate in said second rotational direction, said other one of said first transmission members is driven by said input shaft to rotate therewith in said second rotational direction, while said one of said first transmission members is in an idle state, and said second transmission member and said output shaft are driven by said other one of said first transmission members to also rotate in said output rotational direction;
- a speed reducer connected to said output unit;
- and
- a generator connected to said speed reducer, said generator being drivable by said output unit through said speed reducer to activate and generate electricity.
