ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE WHEELS

摘要

FIELD: electrical engineering; conversion of kinetic energy of rotating wheel into electric energy for consumers installed on wheels, for instance light sources installed on vehicle wheels. SUBSTANCE: electromechanical device has ac generator 5 and lighting unit 6 with light-emitting diodes 16 arranged in housing 4. Housing 4 is secured on vehicle wheel 2 for with possibility of removal. Generator 5 has stator 7 secured in housing 4 coaxially with wheel and cylindrical rotor 8. Weight 10 is secured eccentrically on end part of shaft 9 of rotor 8. Weight 10 prevents rotation of rotor 8. Light-emitting diodes 16 connected in parallel to each other are connected to leads 12 of stator winding through diode 17 whose anode is connected to cathodes of light-emitting diodes 16. Housing 4 serves as protective cap of wheel 2. Light-emitting diodes are arranged on face surface of housing 4 and are protected by transparent shield 19. EFFECT: provision of stable non-rotating image of information or decorative character on vehicle rotating wheel at running, simplified mounting and dismounting of device from wheel, combination of functions of protective cap and information or decorative panel. 1 dwg
