Fluid mechanical converter
The present teachings relate to a fluid mechanical converter having at least one energy-accumulator mass system that can be powered by a power drive. To provide a fluid mechanical converter, which improves overall efficiency using the simplest components, it is proposed according to the present teachings that the displacement of the driven energy accumulator-mass system is overlaid with a displacement that is caused by at least one inertial force.
1. A fluid mechanical converter having at least one energy-accumulator mass system that can be powered by a power drive wherein the motion of the powered energy-accumulator mass system is overlaid by a motion that is caused by at least one mass force, wherein the energy-accumulator system is configured as a first spring-mass system, wherein the power drive is a second spring-mass system, wherein the second spring-mass system serving as the power drive can be driven by a mechanically driven eccentric tappet, and wherein the second spring-mass system serving as the power drive consists of a flexion spring that is supported in a mounting sleeve and on the one hand is mounted on a stud of the eccentric tappet and on the other hand is weighted with a mass.
2. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein the powered first spring-mass system can be brought into resonant oscillation by the power drive.
3. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein the second spring-mass system serving as the power drive can be driven in resonance.
4. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 3 , wherein the powered first spring-mass system can be brought into resonant oscillation by the second spring-mass system serving as the power drive.
5. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 4 , wherein the first and second spring-mass systems correspond to one another in terms of their resonant frequencies.
6. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one inertial force can be produced by the mass of the components that make up the second spring-mass system.
7. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one inertial force can be produced by an additional mass that can be attached to the second spring-mass system.
8. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 6 , wherein the mass, displaced by a lever arm, engages with a motion axis on the second spring-mass system.
9. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein in the fluid mechanical converter can be driven reversibly.
10. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 1 , wherein the mass acting on the flexion spring is configured as a swivel arm mounted on the free end of the flexion spring and having a wing element mounted in the swivel arm that can swivel rotationally.
11. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 10 , wherein the wing element and swivel arm are in active connection with one another by means of a torsion spring.
12. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 11 , wherein the torsion spring is positioned inside a sleeve shaft that in turn is mounted in the swivel arm.
13. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 12 , wherein the torsion spring attached with one end on the swivel arm and with the other end on the sleeve shaft by means of an end casing.
14. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 13 , wherein the wing element is mounted on the sleeve shaft by means of the end casing.
15. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 13 , wherein the torsion spring in connection with the masses of the wing elemental, the end casing, and the sleeve shaft make up the first spring-mass system driven by the power drive.
16. A fluid mechanical converter according to claim 13 , wherein a center line of the sleeve, on which the wing element is mounted on the sleeve shaft, runs parallel at a distance to the axis of symmetry of the wing element.
