Abstract

The waterwheel is for the generation of electricity. It is of modular construction, to allow for adjustment to different height of fall and water volumes, and is capable of series production. It uses conventional and reliable components, and can be installed on site, by local contractors. The waterwheel has an integrated generator. The main drive shaft of the generator carries the waterwheel, and forms the wheel hub, and accommodates all forces. The waterwheel is constructed, so that its centre of gravity is located in the main bearing of the drive shaft, and there are no tilting moments.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Wasserräder dienten früher dem direkten mechanischen Antrieb von Maschinen. Ihre technische Fortentwicklung endete mit dem Auf­ kommen von Wasserturbinen, die aufgrund höherer Drehzahlen prinzipiell besser zur Stromerzeugung geeignet sind. Inzwischen wird vereinzelt versucht Wasserräder zur Stromerzeugung umzu­ rüsten, indem an ein Wasserrad konventioneller Bauart mittels Übersetzung durch Getriebe oder Riementrieb ein Generator ange­ schlossen wird. Es handelt sich um technische Einzelfertigungen, die nur von Fachfirmen ausgeführt werden können und erheblichen Arbeitsaufwand vor Ort erfordern.In the past, waterwheels were used for the direct mechanical drive of Machinery. Their technical development ended with the opening come from water turbines due to higher speeds are in principle better suited for power generation. In the meantime is occasionally tried to move water wheels to generate electricity prepare by using a water wheel of conventional design Transmission by gear or belt drive a generator is closed. These are technical one-off productions, which can only be carried out by specialist companies and are considerable Require workload on site.

ZielvorgabeTarget

Es galt ein Wasserrad zur Stromerzeugung zu entwickeln, in welchem alle wesentlichen mechanischen und elektrischen Kompo­ nenten integriert sind. Es soll in Serie gefertigt werden können und durch modulare Bauweise an unterschiedliche Fallhöhen und Abflußmengen angepaßt werden können. Es soll durch weitgehende Verwendung bereits vorhandener und bewährter Komponenten des Maschinenbaues preiswert zu produzieren sein und vor Ort durch ortsansässige Firmen des Bau- und Elektrohandwerks nach Anleitung installierbar sein.It was necessary to develop a water wheel for electricity generation in which all essential mechanical and electrical compo elements are integrated. It should be possible to manufacture in series and due to the modular design at different head heights and Outflow quantities can be adjusted. It is said to be by far Use of already existing and proven components of the Mechanical engineering to be inexpensive to produce and on site local companies in the construction and electrical trades according to instructions be installable.

Neuerunginnovation

Die Neukonstruktion geht von einem zentralen Getriebegenerator aus, dessen Abtriebswelle (hier: Antriebswelle) gleichzeitig die Radnabe des Wasserrades darstellt. Habe und Getriebe sind eine Einheit und nehmen sämtlich auftretenden axialen, tangentialen und radialen Kräfte auf. Das technische Prinzip gleicht den Fahr­ antrieben von Schwerfahrzeugen, z. B. Radladern oder Kettenfahr­ zeugen, es können deshalb Produkte aus der industriellen Serien­ fertigung eingesetzt werden. Der Kraftfluß ist jedoch umgekehrt und dient dem Antrieb eines angeflanschten oder integrierten Generators. Das Wasserrad wird so ausgebildet, daß der Schwer­ punkt in der Radmitte liegt und keine Kippmomente auftreten. Das Wasserrad kann einseitig auf einen vorhandenen Träger montiert werden.The redesign is based on a central transmission generator whose output shaft (here: drive shaft) simultaneously Represents wheel hub of the water wheel. Have and gear are one Unit and take all occurring axial, tangential and radial forces. The technical principle is the same as driving drives of heavy vehicles, e.g. B. wheel loaders or chain drive testify, therefore products from the industrial series can manufacturing. However, the flow of power is reversed and serves to drive a flanged or integrated Generator. The water wheel is designed so that the heavy point is in the center of the wheel and no tilting moments occur. The Water wheel can be mounted on one side on an existing carrier will.
