hydropowered air blast multi-bag array Explanation: http://www.kepu.net.cn/gb/technology/ancientech/ancientech_m... 冶铁水排 水排是我国古代一种冶铁用的水利鼓风装置。人类早期的鼓风器大都是皮囊。一座炉子用好几个囊,放在一起,排成一排,就叫“排囊”用水力推动这些排囊,就叫“水排”。水排发明于东汉早期,是南阳太守杜诗(?-38)在总结劳动人民实践经验基础上发明的。因为它“用力少,见功多”所以大家乐于使用。三国时期的韩暨把它推广到了魏国官营冶炼作坊中,用水排代替过去的马排、人排,四季不歇。水排不但节省了人力、畜力,而且鼓风能力比较强,因此促进了冶铁业的发展。水排在我国沿用了很长一个时期,直到本世纪七十年代,一些地方还在使用。 汉代的水排由同一时期的水碓和翻车结构推测,也是一种轮轴拉杆传动装置、我国古代水排构造的详细技术最早见于元代的《王祯农书》,依水轮放置方式的差别,分为立轮式和卧轮式两种。都是通过轮轴、拉杆及绳索把圆周运动变成直线往复运动的,以此达到起闭风扇和鼓风的目的。因为水轮转动一次,风扇可以起闭多次,所以鼓风效能大大提高。 |
