There are three modes of operation: • Vertical operation, standstill, park rest or extended stay (camping); 1 • Horizontal operation for uphill and train travel, in which case the wind deflector swivel hood is swiveled downwards, on-board network charge is switched off; 2 • Horizontal operation for downhill and braking travel, in which the wind deflector swivel hood is swiveled upwards, vehicle power supply; 3

Description

Certain roller wind generators (eg roller wind generator patent number DE 10 2007 032 843 ) can be mounted transversely to the vehicle for the on-board charge of vehicles, here preferably campers, caravans and trucks, on the cab, the alcove, box or roof structure, etc. in a horizontal position. In doing so, you benefit from airstream currents for power generation.

The invention now provides for making these devices additionally usable for further useful applications in horizontal and vertical operation.

These applications / operating modes of the multifunctional application device should be represented on behalf of all possible vehicle types and types by means of an example of motorhomes:
The on-board network charge, especially for the consumer network of such campers, is of great importance and very effective and useful by means of the above-described devices in exploiting airstream currents.

However, even more effective such a device, although it is also able to use in standstill park rest periods or longer stay, for example, on RV sites, continue to use natural wind energy for electrical system charge.

However, this can be achieved only with a roller in a vertical position or so-called tower function, with wind from all directions is available. The conversion of the respective operating mode for the user should be simple, fast and reliable, or even fully automatic without the influence of the user.

These claims, the invention presented here in all cases. They are achieved with the features listed in the protection claim 1.

The multi-functional application is inventively designed in such a way that above-described roller wind generator systems are mounted on the vehicles so that they can be made by means of simple mechanical leverage from horizontal to vertical position and vice versa. For this, the roller is compl. with the so-called inflow system on one side rotatably mounted at an angle of 90 ° to the axis of the roller.

On the opposite side, the roller lies in an upwardly open axial bearing bed. Thus, a vertical pivoting of the roller system is made possible. In horizontal operation and driving, the roller is locked in the open bed.

Preferably, the generator integrated in the roller sits on the rotatably mounted side directly behind the pivot point on the side of the roller. This results in a minimum possible torque for the pivoting operation of the roller. When driving, the roller is stored horizontally and transversely to the front of the vehicle and thereby uses the airstream flow to generate electricity.

If, at standstill of the vehicle, further operation of the roller-wind generator is desired, the roller is unlocked in the open bearing bed and pivoted upwards through the above-described pivot point by means of a leverage force of 90 ° out of the open bearing bed into a vertical position.

So switched, the roller now corresponds to a vertical tower-roller-wind-generator and is able to use natural wind and air flow optimally for power generation.

The mechanical function for adjusting / moving the roller can be done both by hand lever function and via electrical / pneumatic actuators z. B. operated via the electrical system spindle or servo motors are operated, at the same time the locking function is actuated. In the simple hand-operated function, a gear and chain transmission with hand crank can be used, which is operated from an appropriate vehicle location.

An electric position monitoring of the roller wind generator gives the driver a warning signal in visual and acoustic form, should, for example, when the engine starts the roller wind generator are still in vertical operating form. This should avoid a departure with a stationary generator to avoid damage to the next bridge or other entry or transit.

Preferably, the roll wind generator may have a roll support weather guard with a beveled end collar on the upwardly pivotable side.

• a) Allgemein zur Beleuchtung des Vorplatzes rund um das Fahrzeug
• b) der Fahrzeugbesitzer kann diese Beleuchtungseinrichtung zum Beispiel über ein App-Signal von seinem Handy/Smartphone usw. aus aktivieren und findet so bei später Rückkehr auf einen großen Campingplatz sehr schnell sein Fahrzeug
• c) Die Einrichtung kann an ein Einbruchs-Sicherheitssystem gekoppelt werden und lokalisiert somit in Verbindung mit einer Warnsirene sehr schnell und eindrucksvoll den Standort/Tatort des Wohnmobils. (Drehende Leuchtsymbole auf der Walze)

Furthermore, this end cap can be equipped with appropriate LED light emitting diodes, which can be switched differently. The purpose is to have at least three positive characteristics for these facilities:

• a) General lighting of the forecourt around the vehicle
• b) the vehicle owner can activate this lighting device, for example, via an app signal from his cell phone / smartphone, etc. and so finds his late return to a large campsite very fast his vehicle
• c) The device can be coupled to a burglary security system and thus located in conjunction with a warning siren very quickly and impressively the location / crime scene of the camper. (Rotating light symbols on the roller)

Another addition to the above-described device consists in an additional, so-called wind deflector swivel hood with dual function. It again increases many times the efficiency of the roller-wind generator in moving traffic.

• • In Stellung Bergauf- und Zugfahrt wird die Haube nach unten vor die Walze geschwenkt, so dass windabweisend die Fahrtwind-Strömung an der Walze vorbei gelenkt wird. Dadurch wird im Lastbetrieb keine zusätzliche Kraftstoff-Energie zur Erzeugung von Strom benötigt.
• • Bei Bergab- und Bremsfahrten wird durch hoch Schwenken der Haube in eine bestimmte Stellung die Walze für die Aufnahme von Windenergie zur Stromerzeugung freigegeben. Gleichzeitig erhöht der entstehende Widerstand die Bremswirkung auf das Fahrzeug und schont somit zusätzlich die Bremsanlagen. Die Haube dient hierbei gleichzeitig als Strömungsleitblech für die Walze.

Im Standbetrieb wird die Haube nach unten geschwenkt (Bremsstellung) und gibt damit den Schwenk-Weg für die vertikale Stellung der Walze frei.This wind deflector swivel hood is mounted transversely in front of the wind roller so that it can be pivoted axially about the roller optionally in two positions:

• • In the uphill and downhill position, the hood is swung down in front of the roller so that the wind current is deflected by the roller wind deflector. As a result, no additional fuel energy is required to generate electricity during load operation.
• • When driving downhill or downhill, turning the hood up to a certain position releases the roller for power generation. At the same time, the resulting resistance increases the braking effect on the vehicle, thus additionally protecting the brake systems. The hood serves as Strömungsleitblech for the roller at the same time.

In stationary mode, the hood is pivoted downwards (braking position) and thus releases the pivoting path for the vertical position of the roller.

Preferably, the function of this Windabweiser hood is fully automatically controlled electrically, the control signals from the vehicle electronics, the bus system and / or by means of additional sensors gas and brake pedal / engine brake lever, etc. are issued.

1 : It shows the schematic representation of a roller wind generator ( 1 ), which is built on a mobile home. It has been raised in vertical position (tower version). The operating mode is thus in standstill park rest periods or for longer stay for example on RV sites. In this case, the free-standing roller tower can absorb wind currents from all directions and convert them into electrical energy.

2 : Shows the schematic representation of the roller-wind generator in a horizontal position for uphill and train ride, here the wind deflector swivel hood is pivoted downward and thus the airstream flow past the roller.

3 : Shows the schematic representation of the roller wind generator in a horizontal position for position downhill and braking, in this case, the wind deflector swivel hood is pivoted upward and thus the airstream flow fed into the roller, which generates electricity for the onboard power supply. At the same time the vehicle resistance is increased, which generates a braking effect and relieves the braking device of the vehicle.

Here is the wind deflector hood 7 for uphill and train ride continues to swing down. The airstream or the air flow is directed past the roller ( 14 ).

10 : Continues to show the schematic representation of the roller-wind generator in turn in a horizontal position and transverse to the direction of travel, but this time with open wind deflector swivel hood for mountain and braking, or even intentional charging operation throughout the ride. Here, the incident amount of wind is directed through the inlet nozzles of the roller on this, compressed and thus generates high electrical energy ( 16 ). The greatly reduced residual flow downstream of the roll is derived via a gap between the wind deflector swivel hood and the motorhome roof ( 17 ).
