Description

Luminous wheel with generator.

Object of the invention

The Luminous Wheel with Generator aims to emit light, serving in turn as a means of locomotion of certain vehicles.

Background of the invention

There are different types of dynamos on the market that affect different types of wheels but forming different structures and with different purposes than those shown here.

Description

Light wheel with generator.- This invention can be included in the mechanics sector.

It consists basically of a wheel (R) that houses in its center a dynamo (D) connected to an electric circuit, installed in the rim (LL) and in one of the spokes (Ra) of said wheel,

Said dynamo crosses the cylindrical hollow (H) of the center of the wheel, leaving the casing (K), with its corresponding inductive coil (B), fixed to said hollow by welding.

At both ends of the armature (I) there are some rods with thread that allow said armature to be coupled, by means of the corresponding nuts, to the structure of certain vehicles. Consequently, the armature also fulfills the function of the wheel axle.

The negative terminal (N) of the dynamo is connected to the metal ring (A) that surrounds the wheel axle. In said ring the spokes are fixed at one end. The positive terminal (P) of the dynamo is connected to a conductive wire (Hl) that longitudinally crosses the inside of one of the spokes (Ra) and is installed around the rim (LL) by its internal part, connecting with a series of bushings (PL) that are fixed at different points inside the tire. Said bushings house inside flattened bulbs (Bp) that are fed by the positive (Ps) and negative (Ne) terminals of said bushings; the positive terminal of the bushings is connected to the conductive wire (Hl) and the negative terminal to the tire that is negatively charged.

At various points of the rim, holes (Or) that coincide with those areas where the bushings are installed stand out; said holes are covered by transparent covers (Tp) that are fixed by bolts (Pr) and clasps (Br). These covers adapt different colors so that the rotation of the wheel produces a multicolored effect. A cover (Cu) on which the air chamber (Ca) and the tire (Nu) of the wheel are installed are installed on the conductive thread (Hl) that runs along the tire.

Exhibition of an embodiment

Taking as an example the wheel (R) of a bicycle, the axle of said wheel is first extracted and a dynamo (D) whose housing (K) has the diameter and is inserted into the cylindrical recess that remains (H). the appropriate length so that, on the one hand, it can fit smoothly inside the hole and thus be well adjusted to it and on the other hand it does not protrude from either end of said hole.

Next, a metal bar of small thickness (one bar at each end) is fixed on both ends of the armature (I) of the dynamo and a helical thread (Rs) is practiced on said bars so that, by means of the corresponding nuts, The wheel is attached to the structure of the bicycle.

The negative terminal (N) of the dynamo is then connected to the metal ring (A) that surrounds the wheel axle. The positive terminal (P) is connected with a conductive wire (Hl), protected with insulating material, which is introduced through one of the hollow spokes of the wheel until it reaches the inside of the rim (LL), with said conductive wire being installed in The entire circumference of the tire. Once installed, said conductive wire is connected to a series of bushings (Pl) that are fixed inside the rim. Each socket, equipped with its corresponding bulb (Bp), consists of two terminals (Ps, Ne); One terminal is connected to the conductive wire and the other to the tire. Next, holes (Or) are made in those points of the rim that coincide with the areas in which the bushings with their respective bulbs have been previously installed. These holes are covered with covers (Tp) of transparent material that are fixed by bolts (Pr) and clasps (Br).

To provide light to the radius that houses the conductive wire (Hl) inside it, said radius must be wide enough to be able to install the aforementioned bushings inside it and, just as in the rim, the conductor wire is connected with said bushings, then piercing those areas of the radius where the connection has been established.

Finally, the part of the installation that runs inside the tire is protected by a cover (Cu) on which the air chamber (Ca) and the tire (Nu) of the wheel are placed.
