The first driving tube 411 of the first driving member 41 is in conjunction with the first one-way bearing 44 to be disposed on a top section of the rotating shell 20A, 20B. The second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 is in conjunction with the second one-way bearing 45 to be disposed on a bottom section of the rotating shell 20A, 20B. The third driving member 43 is connected between the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42 for transmitting movement. Unidirectional transmission functions of the first one-way bearing 44 and the second one-way bearing 45 are adverse to each other. The rotating motion of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism cannot be interfered by the first one-way bearing 44 and the second one-way bearing 45.

(37) In the combined structure aforementioned, the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has five revolute pairs, three driving wheel pairs such as gear pairs or rolling pairs, and six rotating parts. The five revolute pairs include a first revolute pair, a second revolute pair, a third revolute pair, a fourth revolute pair, and a fifth revolute pair. The first revolute pair is located between the fixing shaft 10 and the second driving member 42. The second revolute pair is located between the fixing shaft 10 and the first driving member 41. The third revolute pair is located between the fixing shaft 10 and the third driving member 43. The fourth revolute pair is located between the rotating wheel 32 and the rotating shell 20A. The fifth revolute pair is located between the fixing shaft 10 and the rotating shell 20A. The three driving wheel pairs include a first gear pair, a second gear pair, and a third gear pair. The first gear pair is located between the rotating wheel 32 and the second driving member 42. The second gear pair is located between the second driving member 42 and the third driving member 43. The third gear pair is located between the first driving member 41 and the third driving member 43. In six rotating parts, two of the rotating parts are the input member 30 and the rotating shell 20A, 20B and are applied as the input parts of kinetic energy. One of the rotating parts is one of the first driving member 41, the second driving member 42, and the third driving member 43C and is applied as the output part of kinetic energy. A calculation formula of the degree of freedom F of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is as follows:
F=3×(6−1)−2×5−1×3=2

(38) Therefore, the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has two degrees of freedom to form a biaxial kinetic energy harvesting mechanism. A combination structure of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism integrates biaxial input kinetic energy in a tandem way. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has a good capture property for capturing the unstable kinetic energy.

(39) The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism of the present invention is applicable to various harvesting mechanisms for capturing unstable kinetic energy. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is applied as a wind power generation mechanism. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism can be realized by various means such as connecting an external generator set or connecting a built-in generator set.

(40) With reference to FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, the fixing shaft 10 is connected to a seat 2. A bottom section of the second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 is extended out of a bottom of the rotating shell 20A and is in conjunction with a wheel driving assembly 3A to connect to the generating set 4A. The generating set 4A is located below the rotating shell 20A and is fixedly disposed on the fixing shaft 10. The wheel driving assembly 3A is a gear set or a pulley set.

(41) With reference to FIGS. 6, 9, and 10, the fixing shaft 10 is connected to the seat 2. The first driving tube 411 of the first driving member 41 is extended out of a top of the rotating shell 20A, 20B and is in conjunction with the wheel driving assembly 3B to connect to the generating set 4B. The generating set 4B is located above the rotating shell 20A and is fixedly disposed on the fixing shaft 10. The wheel driving assembly 3B is a gear set or a pulley set.

(42) With reference to FIGS. 4 and 11, the fixing shaft 10 is connected to the seat 2. The generating set 4C is disposed in the third driving member 43C. The generating set 4C has a stator 4C1 having a coil winding and a rotor 4C2. The stator 4C1 having the coil winding is disposed in the inner hole 433C of the inner shaft 431C. The rotor 4C2 is pivotally disposed in the stator 4C1 and is connected to the third driving wheel 432C. The external wire 4C3 is connected to the coil winding of the stator 4C1 and is inserted through the wire hole 101 of the fixing shaft 10 for extending.

(43) With reference to FIGS. 5 to 11, an outer shell 7 is fixedly disposed around the rotating shell 20A, 20B by multiple screws. With reference to FIGS. 5, 7, and 8, the second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 is in conjunction with the wheel driving assembly 3A to connect to the generating set 4A. With reference to FIGS. 6, 9, and 10, the first driving tube 411 of the first driving member 41 is extended out of the top of the rotating shell 20A, 20B and a top of the outer shell 7 and is in conjunction with the wheel driving assembly 3B to connect to the generating set 4B.

(44) With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, an end of the rotating shaft 31 of the input member 30 extended out of the outer shell 7 is connected to an impeller 5. The impeller 5 has at least one blade. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is a leeward wind power generation mechanism. In addition, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10, a tail 6 is connected to a side of the outer shell 7 opposite to the rotating shaft 31. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is a windward wind power generation mechanism.

(45) The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is applied as the wind power generation mechanism. With reference to FIGS. 5 to 11, the impeller 5 can capture the wind power for rotating and driving the generating set 4A to operate. The rotating shell 20A, 20B can be pushed by the wind power to turn or rotate. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism can be assisted by the tail 6 connected to the rotating shell 20A, 20B for easily being pushed by the wind power to turn or rotate to achieve a chasing capability.

(46) For facilitating motion states of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism, the following is based on a first embodiment of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The blades of the impeller 5 are driven only by the wind energy to rotate counterclockwise relative to the rotating shaft 31. The motion states of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism are facilitated as follows.

(47) In a first motion state, the impeller 5 is rotated, and the rotating shell 20A is not rotated:

(48) With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 12, when the impeller 5 faces the wind, the input member 30 is driven by the wind power captured by the impeller 5 to counterclockwise rotate. The input member 30 drives the first wheel portion 4221 of the second driving wheel 422 of the second driving member 42 by the rotating wheel 32 for driving the second driving member 42 to counterclockwise rotate. The second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 can output power to the wheel driving assembly 3A for driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(49) In a second motion state, the impeller 5 is not rotated, and the rotating shell 20A is clockwise rotated in a top view of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism.

(50) With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, 13, and 14, the rotating shell 20A is pushed by a lateral wind power for clockwise rotating. The rotating shell 20A drives the first driving member 41 to rotate by the first one-way bearing 44 that can only be clockwise driven and the first driving tube 411 of the first driving member 41. The first driving wheel 412 of the first driving member 41, the third driving wheel 432 of the third driving member 43, and the second wheel portion 4222 of the second driving wheel 421 drive the second driving member 42 to counterclockwise rotate. The second driving member 42 outputs power to the wheel driving assembly 3A by the second driving tube 421 for driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(51) In a third motion state, the impeller 5 is not rotated, and the rotating shell 20A is counterclockwise rotated.

(52) With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, 15, and 16, the rotating shell 20A is pushed by the lateral wind power for counterclockwise rotating. The rotating shell 20A drives the second driving member 42 to rotate by the second one-way bearing 45 that can only be counterclockwise driven and the second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 41. The second driving member 42 is counterclockwise rotated and outputs power to the wheel driving assembly 3 by the second driving tube 421 for driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(53) In a fourth motion state, the impeller 5 is rotated, and the rotating shell 20A is clockwise rotated.

(54) With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 17, the impeller 5 obtains the wind power and drives the rotating shaft 31 of the input member 30 to rotate. The rotating wheel 32 drives the second driving wheel 422 of the second driving member 42 for driving the second driving member 42 to counterclockwise rotate. The second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 drives the wheel driving assembly 3A for outputting the power to the wheel driving assembly 3A and driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(55) On the other hand, the rotating shell 20A is clockwise rotated by the wind. The rotating shell 20A drives the first driving member 41 to clockwise rotate by the first one-way bearing 44 that can only be clockwise driven and the first driving tube 411 of the first driving member 41. The first driving wheel 412, the third driving wheel 432 of the third driving member 43, and the second wheel portion 4222 of the second driving wheel 421 drive the second driving member 42 to counterclockwise rotate. Therefore, the second driving member 42 outputs power to the wheel driving assembly 3A by the second driving tube 421 for driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(56) In a fifth motion state, the impeller 5 is rotated, and the rotating shell 20A is counterclockwise rotated.

(57) With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 18, the impeller 5 obtains the wind power and drives the rotating shaft 31 of the input member 30 to rotate. The second driving wheel 422 is driven for driving the second driving member 42 to counterclockwise rotate. The second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 drives the wheel driving assembly 3A for outputting the power to the wheel driving assembly 3A and driving the generating set 4A to operate. On the other hand, the rotating shell 20A is counterclockwise rotated by the wind. The second driving tube 421 of the second driving member 42 is driven by the second one-way bearing 45 to counterclockwise rotate. The wheel driving assembly 3A is driven to output power for driving the generating set 4A to operate.

(58) Operating principles of the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism are same to an operating principle of the first embodiment of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism. The difference in the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is that an output power member is the first driving member 41 or the third driving member 43C. Motion states about the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism will not be described herein.

(59) Accordingly, the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism uses six parts including the fixing shaft 10, the rotating shell 20A, 20B, the input member 30, the first driving member 41, the second driving member 42, and the third driving member 43. Two of the six parts are the input member 30 and the rotating shell 20A, 20B and are applied as the input parts of kinetic energy. The input member 30 is connected to one of the first driving member 41, the second driving member 42, and the third driving member 43 for transmitting movement. The third driving member 43 transmits movement between the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42. One of the first driving member 41, the second driving member 42, and the third driving member 43 is applied as an output part of kinetic energy. The first driving member 41 is connected to the first one-way bearing 44 to be disposed in the rotating shell 20A, 20B. The second driving member 42 is connected to the second one-way bearing 45 to be disposed in the rotating shell 20A, 20B. The rotating driving direction of the second one-way bearing 45 is contrary to the rotating driving direction of the first one-way bearing 44. Unidirectional transmission functions of the first one-way bearing 44 and the second one-way bearing 45 are adverse to each other. The operation of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism will not interfered by the first one-way bearing 44 and the second one-way bearing 45. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has five revolute pairs and three driving wheel pairs to form a biaxial kinetic energy harvesting mechanism having two degrees of freedom. A combination structure of the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism integrates biaxial input kinetic energy in a tandem way. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has a good capture property for capturing the unstable kinetic energy.

(60) When the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is applied as the wind power harvesting mechanism, the kinetic energy generated by the rotating shaft 31 rotating and the kinetic energy generated by the rotating shell 20A, 20B chasing are captured by the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism simultaneously. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has a structure having two degrees of freedom for having and integrating mechanical energy with vertical and horizontal biaxial inputs to a single axial direction continuously in rotation. Total wind power capturing capacity is increased. When the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism chases the wind, the rotating shell 20A, 20B can be clockwise or counterclockwise rotated by the wind. The rotating kinetic energy can be transmitted to the generating set 4A, 4B, 4C by the fixing shaft driving assembly 40.

(61) In the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism, the rotating shaft 31 rotated continuously is axially connected to the fixing shaft 10 providing a supporting force. When the kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is applied as the wind power generation mechanism, the generating unit 4C can be disposed on the fixing shaft 10 without a brush or a rotating connecter for reducing a moment of inertia in chasing time, reducing the cost, increasing the service life, and keeping the electrical energy transmission efficiency. The installation site can be close to the Earth's surface, the city, and disorderly wind field for capturing a lot of the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy harvesting mechanism is the wind power harvesting mechanism being innovative and having industrial applicability.
