  The wind power generator is often mounted on a support column. In such a case, only one generator can be installed for one support column. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a solid support column that can withstand typhoons.

  When installing a large-scale wind power generator at the top of a mountain, it is necessary to put heavy machinery up to the top of the mountain. Therefore, it is necessary to cut down standing trees on the mountain surface and to construct a path through which heavy machinery passes. For this reason, there existed a problem that installing such a wind power generator itself led to a natural destruction.

  On the other hand, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, by hanging the generator with a wire, for example, a wire passed between two peaks can be used as a support means for the generator. . Because the wire is lightweight, it can be lifted to the summit by manpower or helicopter, eliminating the need to build a road on the mountain surface.

  Furthermore, since there is no need to construct a road on the mountain surface, the installation conditions are relaxed, and installation is possible in a place with good wind conditions. And by suspending a large number of wind power generators on the wire, it is possible to generate electric power comparable to that of a large power generator. In other words, the generator can be small, and the components that make up the generator can be made small, so it can be mass-produced at low cost using molds, and general-purpose bearings can be used. It becomes easy.

  As described above, the wire-suspended wind power generator disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has many features, and further, a commercially available upwind small power generator can be replaced with a wire. It is required to be able to hang down and make the installation work easier.

  For this reason, a vertical column with upper and lower ends fixed to a pair of wires installed at the top and bottom is provided, a horizontal rod parallel to the pair of wires is rotatably attached to the vertical column, and a generator is attached to one end of the horizontal rod. The lower end of the column was pivotably attached, and the generator was fixed to the upper end of the generator mounting column. Further, by fixing the lower portion of the vertical column and the lower portion of the generator mounting column to the wire installed below, the vertical column can be always kept vertical. And an upwind type or a downwind type wind power generator can be attached to a vertical support | pillar.

  A vertical strut is attached to the upper and lower wires, a horizontal strut is rotatably coupled to the vertical strut, a mounting strut is pivotally coupled to the horizontal strut, the lower end of the mounting strut is attached to the lower wire, and wind Since the generator is attached, either an upwind type wind generator or a downwind type wind generator can be attached to the mounting column.

  For this reason, many types of wind power generators can be installed with respect to the wind power generator supported by the mounting support column while taking advantage of the characteristics of the wire-suspended wind power generator. That is, the cheapest thing marketed as a wind power generator can be selected, and it can be set as a wire suspension type, and it can comprise at low cost as the whole system.

  Further, as a whole system, it is possible to determine how many small wind power generators are installed on a single wire in accordance with the required power generation capacity, and it is possible to determine the total power generation amount according to the number of installed wind turbine generators.

  As described above, since the mounting column is provided on the horizontal column, an upwind generator and a downwind generator can be mounted on the mounting column.

  The perspective view in Example 1 of the wire suspension type wind power generator of this invention.   The front view in Example 1 of the wire suspension type wind power generator of this invention.   The front view in Example 2 of the wire suspension type wind power generator of this invention.

  The present invention attaches a vertical strut to the upper and lower wires, a horizontal strut is rotatably coupled to the vertical strut, an attachment strut is pivotally coupled to the horizontal strut, and the lower end of the mounting strut is attached to the lower wire. Since the wind power generator is attached to the mounting column, either an upwind type wind generator or a downwind type wind generator can be mounted on the mounting column.

  In FIG. 1, 1 is the upper wire and 2 is the lower wire. The upper wire 1 and the lower wire 2 are stretched between a pair of peaks, for example. Reference numeral 3 denotes a vertical support whose upper end is coupled to the upper wire 1 by an upper wire plate 4. The upper wire plate 4 is rotatable with respect to the vertical column 3.

  The lower end of the vertical column 3 is rotatably coupled to the central portion of the horizontal rod 6 by a bolt 5. A lower wire plate 7 and a bolt 8 are rotatably connected to a connecting portion between the vertical support 3 and the horizontal rod 6. Here, the wire plates 4 and 7 are formed by, for example, connecting a pair of U-bolts to an iron plate.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a first attachment column, and an upwind type first wind power generator 10 is attached to the upper end of the first attachment column. One end of the horizontal rod 6 is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the first mounting column 9 by a bolt 11. The lower wire plate 12 and the bolt 13 are rotatably connected to the connecting portion of the first mounting support 9 with the horizontal rod 6.

  Reference numeral 14 denotes a second attachment column, and an upwind type second wind power generator 15 is attached to the upper end of the second attachment column. The other end of the horizontal rod 6 is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the second mounting column 14 by a bolt 16. A lower wire plate 17 and a bolt 18 are rotatably connected to a connecting portion between the second mounting column 14 and the horizontal rod 6.

  The first embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and the vertical column 3 is supported by the upper wire and the lower wire 2, and the vertical column 3 is rotatable with respect to the wire and the lower wire 2. The first mounting column 9 and the second mounting column 14 are also rotatable with respect to the lower wire 2, and the lower ends of the vertical column 3, the first mounting column 9 and the second mounting column 14 are connected by the horizontal rod 6. Therefore, even if the positions of the upper wire 1 and the lower wire 2 are shifted, the vertical column 3, the first mounting column 9, and the second mounting column 14 are always maintained parallel to each other.

  For this reason, the space | interval of the 1st wind power generator 10 and the 2nd wind power generator 15 is always kept constant, and the 1st wind power generator 10 and the 2nd wind power generator 15 adjoin aerodynamically. There is no such thing. Further, when the vertical column 3 is installed so as to be vertical, the first mounting column 9 and the second mounting column 14 parallel to the vertical column 3 are also maintained vertical, and the first wind generator 10 and the second wind generator 15 are vertical. It will be installed in the support | pillars 9 and 14, and will follow the direction of a wind smoothly, when a wind direction changes.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Reference numerals 17 and 18 denote a pair of poles, for example, concrete pillars used for electric poles. An upper wire 1 and a lower wire 2 are attached to the concrete columns 17 and 18. The upper wire 1 and the lower wire 2 are provided with marks 19 and 20 at regular intervals. The marks 19 and 20 are attached to the upper wire 1 and the lower wire 2 by paint, plating, or some means that can be identified.

  When a plurality of wind power generators are provided adjacent to each other, unless they are separated by a predetermined distance or more, they interfere with each other and cannot exhibit performance. The distance is generally said to be 2.5 times the wing diameter. Therefore, it is preferable that the marks 19 and 20 are provided at equal intervals at intervals of 2.5 times or more the diameter of the wing of the wind power generator used.

  A mark 20 is provided directly below the mark 19. Accordingly, when the wind power generator 21 is attached to the upper wire 1 and the lower wire 2 with the marks 19 and 20 as marks, the wind power generator 21 can be attached vertically. Referring to the enlarged view of part A in FIG. 3, reference numeral 22 denotes a vertical column for mounting the wind power generator. A wire clip 23 is attached to the upper end of the vertical support, and the wire clip 23 fixes the vertical support 22 to the upper wire 1 in accordance with the mark 19 of the upper wire 1. Here, although the wind power generator 21 is a downwind type, an upwind type wind power generator can be attached using the structure of the first embodiment.

  The wire-suspended wind power generator of the present invention is such that a plurality of wind power generators are suspended by wires as described above, and each wind power generator is supported by a mounting column, and their mounting is performed. The struts are always kept vertical. For this reason, it can follow smoothly with respect to the change of a wind direction.
