Abstract

A poly-generation system includes: at least one cylinder; a reciprocating piston provided in the cylinder; an engine rotor generates a magnetic force and reciprocates with the piston; an engine stator includes an engine coil which induces an electromotive force by interference with the reciprocating engine rotor and outputs the electromotive force induced in the engine coil; and a generator which is integrally coupled with a reciprocating shaft of the piston and generates electricity using an inertial force generated by the reciprocating piston, the generator includes: an elastic member deformed by the inertial force; a generator rotor includes a generator magnet and reciprocates due to the deformation of the elastic member; a generator stator includes a generator coil and outputs an electromotive force induced in the generator coil due to interference with the generator magnet, and a generator battery stores the electromotive force induced in the generator coil.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A poly-generation system comprising:
at least one cylinder;
a piston provided in the cylinder and configured to reciprocate;
an engine rotor which generates a magnetic force and reciprocates in conjunction with the reciprocation of the piston;
an engine stator which comprises an engine coil which induces an electromotive force by interference with the engine rotor generated due to the reciprocation of the engine rotor and outputs the electromotive force induced in the engine coil; and
a generator which is integrally coupled with a reciprocating shaft of the piston and generates electricity using an inertial force generated by the reciprocation of the piston,
wherein the generator comprises:
an elastic member deformed by the inertial force;
a generator rotor which generates a magnetic force and reciprocates due to the deformation of the elastic member;
a generator stator which comprises a generator coil which induces an electromotive force by interference with the generator rotor generated due to the reciprocation of the generator rotor and outputs the electromotive force induced in the generator coil, and
a generator battery which stores the electromotive force induced in the generator coil,
a generator housing which is integrally coupled with the reciprocating shaft of the piston and accommodates the generator battery therein; and
a connector hinge-coupled to an outside of the generator housing and electrically connected to the generator battery.

2. The poly-generation system of claim 1 , further comprising an engine housing which accommodates the reciprocating shaft and the generator therein,
wherein a ground contact portion electrically connected to a battery located outside of the engine housing and selectively connected to the connector is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the engine housing.

3. The poly-generation system of claim 2 , wherein the connector is electrically connected to the ground contact portion in a state of being open to the generator housing.

4. The poly-generation system of claim 3 , wherein the connector is electrically insulated from the ground contact portion in a state of being closed to the generator housing.
