The energy storage device is designed for use in space and allows the issuance of mechanical or electrical energy. The accumulator contains two independent flywheels, an electric unit capable of operating in the engine and generator mode, and an axle rigidly attached in its middle by a two-cone element of the clutch, coaxially rigidly affixed to the flywheel with single-cone clutch parts. The axle is mounted in bearings with the possibility of rotation and longitudinal movement, providing alternate grip of the clutch elements and transfer of forces from the electric unit to the flywheels or from the axis to the power take-off unit. The energy storage device can be useful for generating electricity when solar cells that fall in the shade can not provide electricity to the space object.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the construction of objects related to energy in space.

There are known solutions of energy storage devices operating in "terrestrial" conditions, according to which a conference was held in Zhytomyr in 1985.

In the journal "Inventor and rationalizer" No. 4 for 1975 on pp. 15-17 and in No. 4 of 1986, p.24, there are data on "terrestrial" energy stores.

The closest in essence is a battery of electromechanical energy, described in the author's certificate of the USSR N 1126746, IPC 7 F 16 H 3/302, 1984, which is taken as a prototype.

Disadvantages of the prototype are its inability to use in outer space, a complicated solution with two axles and braking devices, a single flywheel.

The object of the invention is to provide an energy storage device for use in space containing a group of flywheels capable of delivering the stored energy mechanically by taking power and converting it into electricity.

To achieve these results, it was decided to perform a drive with two planar flywheels with a thickened rim (in general, the number of them is not limited to /) enclosed in a rigid case of linear elements, tightened with cross connections, docked from parts to which are attached casing on both sides - electro and Control of aggregates / not included in the application.

Along the device is passed through the flywheel and housing bearings, and through the aggregates - an axle that can move along and rotate.

In the middle of the axle, a two-cone element of the clutch is fixed rigidly, and single-cone clutch components are rigidly attached to the flywheels, in position corresponding to the clutch element, with gaps from it, between the flywheel journals and the casing, and thrust bearings are provided between the rims.

To illustrate the decision taken, the drawings are presented.

FIG. 1 shows a section 1-1, a general view of the device in a longitudinal section	FIG. 2 - cross section 2-2, cross section
FIG. 3 shows a view of a 3-3 device	The space energy store contains: Body, consisting of tubular elements, at the end of a circular outline 1 with magnetic loads inside the cargo 2; Rectilinear elements 3, undocked on flanges 4, untied by ties 5, with journals 6 and with bearings 7; Flywheels consisting of a massive rim 8, disk parts 9, trunnions 10, provided with bearings 11 and 12, coupling elements 13, thrust bearings 14; The details of the rotational system in the longitudinal axis 15 passed through the bearings of the housing 7, the bearings of the flywheels 11 provided in the middle of the elements of the clutch 16 that is traversed through the electric aggregate 17 and the control and power take-off unit 18. In practical applications, the manufacturer manufactures parts and components of the storage device, supplies them to the working area where the assembly is made, and, with its small dimensions, it is possible to deliver to the installation site in a fully assembled state. The energy storage device can be operated with fastening on space objects or in the form of a separate installation floating in space - a power station or a mechanical engine.

DEVICE WORKS AS FOLLOWING

The axis 15 is shifted along the length of the clutch 16 to the clutch 13 of one of the flywheels (8, 9, 10), the electrical aggregate 17 is connected and, as a motor, the shaft 15 rotates the flywheel (8-10), in which the energy is stored, 15 in the opposite direction, the energy is stored in the second flywheel, after which the clutch is disconnected from both flywheels, the power supply of the electric unit 17 is discontinued, the stored energy is stored in both freely rotating flywheels.

To deliver electricity using the accumulated one of the rotating flywheels through the clutch, the shaft 15 and the electric generator 17, which operates in the generator mode, rotate.

For the delivery of mechanical energy, the rotation of the axis 15 acting on the unit 18 is directly used.

The energy storage device can be useful for supplying electricity when flat solar panels that fall into the shade do not work and generally to create stable sources of electric current in space under conditions of weightlessness and solar radiation.

CLAIM

1. A space energy storage device comprising a rigid body, a flywheel and an electric unit capable of operating in the engine mode to untwist the flywheel and in the generator mode for power supply, characterized in that it is provided with a second independent flywheel, power take-off unit and an axis with a two- Element of the clutch, coaxially with a clearance on the flywheel rigidly attached single-cone clutch parts, while the axle is installed in the bearings with the ability to rotate and longitudinal movement, providing alternate grip clutch elements and transfer forces from the generator to the flywheels or from the axis to the power take-off.
2. A storage device according to claim 1, characterized in that a circular tubular element is formed along the end of the body, along which there are loads of magnetic displacement and suspension to stabilize the fixed position of the cone.
