摘要:
The invention relates to a device that converts the rotation of a shaft (1) into a reciprocating movement comprising two translation and rotation components, said components being synchronised with a phi phase difference which drives a propelling element such as an aileron, a skate or a wheel. The aforementioned conversion is performed by at least two cranks (2, 3) of the shaft (1) which are connected by rods (9, 10) to the levers (6, 7) using a specific kinematics. The lever (6), which is rotation connected to the arm (4), communicates the translational component to the support of the propelling element (5). Moreover, said lever (7) is joined to a part (8), having the same axis of rotation as the arm (4), which communicates the orientation component to the support of the propelling element (5) via, for example, an expanding parallelogram. If the rotation of the shaft (1) is reversed, the direction of movement is also reversed. According to the invention, if the value of phi is suitable, the device operates as a generator. The inventive device is particularly suitable for use in propelling vehicles and recovering kinetic energy.
