Hydraulic device of reversible type for the conversion of energy

摘要

The present invention relates to a hydraulic device of reversible type adapted to be used both as a water turbine and a hydraulic pump. Said device has characteristics of simplicity of construction and use. In the case of use as a water turbine it does not require distributors of a particular shape and does not require drops of great heights being adapted to take advantage of the pressure of the fluid and not only of the speed thereof.

主权项

1. A hydraulic device of reversible type comprising: an impeller in turn comprising a plurality of elements provided with axial symmetry, accommodated in specific seats having the same shape as said elements and arranged at the periphery of said impeller, said elements being hinged at two points corresponding to two ends of the diameter or of the spin axis of said elements, so as to be able to rotate about said spin axis; a distribution conduit adapted to conduct a fluid, associated with said impeller and comprising a radius bending substantially equal to the radius of said impeller, said distribution conduit comprising an inner diameter greater than the diameter or than the larger size of said elements and a longitudinal slit having width greater than the thickness of said impeller adapted to house the peripheral part of said impeller; means adapted to modify the position of said elements with respect to said impeller, according to their position with respect to said distribution conduit, so as to tilt said elements with respect to the plane of said impeller when said elements are within said distribution conduit.
