TRACK DEVICE TO CONVERT MECHANICAL POWER INTO ELECTRIC POWER

摘要

FIELD: transport. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electric power engineering and may be used for electric power generation by train motion on rails. Proposed device comprises two piezoelectric transducers to be laid under rails on support between sleepers by means of bell crank arranged across track axis. Device is furnished with transfer mechanism articulated with said bell crank and mounted on support between rails to get in contact with one of the latter and to transmit rotation to appropriate transducer. Said mechanism represents a bell crank fitted on extensions of split shaft. Drive disk and half-coupling of built-in first ratchet gear are fitted on one side of said shaft and ratchet wheel of second ratchet gear is arranged on other side of said shaft to displace thereon. Split shaft is coupled with rotor of appropriate transducer while drive disks are articulated with appropriate arms of bell crank. ^ EFFECT: higher efficiency of power conversion. ^ 2 cl, 9 dwg
