Description

  The present invention relates to a power generation system, and more particularly to a power generation system that generates mechanical energy by fluid drive and further converts it into electrical energy.

  Many of the conventional power generation systems generate electricity through a fixed medium. For example, wind power generators generate mechanical energy by propulsion of wind power, and hydroelectric power generation generates mechanical energy by propulsion of ocean currents. This further converts electrical energy. For this reason, power generation systems on land and under the sea usually generate mechanical energy using drive units having different configurations.

  For example, a wind power propulsion apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 is disclosed in Patent Document 1, and the wind power propulsion apparatus includes a pedestal 3, a mount 4, a transmission shaft 5, and a blade configuration 6. The blade configuration 6 includes a main body 61 and at least one blade 62 connected to the main body 61. The blade 62 includes a frame 621, at least one unidirectional cover 622, and a movable baffle 623. The frame 621 is a hollow frame body, and the movable baffle 623 has a baffle restriction having a certain elasticity on the unidirectional cover 622. The gantry 4 is a hollow tube, and is installed on the pedestal 3, and the transmission shaft 5 penetrates the interior of the gantry 4, and the main body 61 of the blade configuration 6 is connected to one end thereof. The blade configuration 6 is pivoted on the mount 4 by being coupled together, and the generated power is output by the transmission shaft 5. The pedestal 3 is provided with a generator 7, the transmission shaft 5 is coupled to the other end of the input end of the generator 7, and the blade 62 of the blade configuration 6 receives propulsion of wind force by the wind propulsion device. After that, the power is converted into mechanical energy, and the power generation of the generator 7 is operated by driving the rotation of the rolling shaft 5 through the main body 61.

  However, since the blade 62 in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a planar configuration, it cannot collect fluid, and utilizes wind force that flows directly toward the blade 62, that is, positive wind force. The blade 62 can only be propelled, and the blade 62 cannot be propelled when the forward wind force is weak. In other words, the propulsion of the blade 62 requires a strong positive wind force. In addition, since the blade 62 increases the area that receives wind, the effect of wind power cannot be increased unless the angle is adjusted based on the wind direction. Therefore, such a configuration is not suitable for hydraulic drive.

The side through holes 228 are opened in a single direction so that the panel 233 rotates toward the inside of the shell body 221.

  In a specific embodiment, a part of the shell body 221 may be configured such that, for example, the side movable panel 233 and the side through hole 228 on both side surfaces of the shell body 221 are opposed to the shell body 221. In this configuration, the side movable panel 233 has a narrow angle between the axis of the side blade 234 and the axis of the rotary shaft 20, and the side movable panel 233 is fluid-driven. Under such circumstances, the side through-hole 228 is closed in response to the weight of the side movable panel 233 itself. In addition, the side movable panel 233 provided on at least a part of the shell body 221, for example, the upper surface and / or the bottom surface of the shell body 221, is provided with an elastic member 235 between the inner wall of the shell body 221, The elastic member 235 can elastically drive the side movable panel 233 to close the side through-hole 228 under a situation where fluid does not drive the side movable panel 233, and the elastic member 235 can be closed. In this embodiment, a torque spring provided on the side blade 234 can be used.

  By configuring with the above-described members, when fluid such as airflow or waterflow flows from the front of the front opening 222 and / or obliquely forward to the inside of the shell body 221 toward the rear opening 223, The inner surfaces of the plurality of rear movable panels 231 of the direction control unit 23 receive the flow drive in the shell body 221 respectively, thereby closing the plurality of rear through-holes 225 of the rear opening 223 and the rear openings. A thrust surface is formed on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231 of the portion 223, whereby the fluid is propelled by the force applied to the thrust surface formed on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231.

  At the same time, the inner surfaces of the plurality of side movable panels 233 of the direction control unit 23 receive the flow drive in the shell body 221, respectively, so that the plurality of side through holes in the side opening 226 are obtained. 228 is closed, and a thrust surface is formed on the inner surface of the lateral movable panel 233 of the side opening 226, whereby a force is applied to the fluid on the thrust surface formed on the inner surface of the lateral movable panel 233. To promote the cup 22.

  During that period, the fluid that has flowed from the front and / or obliquely forward of the front opening 222 to the outer wall such as the upper surface, bottom surface, or side surface of the shell body 221 passes through the side movable panel 233 on the upper surface, bottom surface, or side surface. The shell body 221 can be driven to rotate, and the side through hole 228 of the side opening 226 is opened to flow into the shell body 221. The resistance force generated by the fluid flowing to the outer wall of the shell body 221 is released, and the fluid flowing to the outer wall of the shell body 221 is further extracted to increase the driving force for the cup 22.

  The fluid flowing in the direction of the rear opening 223 from the front and diagonally forward of the front opening 222 is defined as a forward fluid, and the fluid flowing in the opposite direction to the forward fluid is reversed. Defined as directional fluid. When a plurality of the drive modules 21 are in the fluid in the reverse direction, the plurality of the rear movable panels 231 and some of the side movable panels 233 of the direction control unit 23 are respectively driven by the fluid in the reverse direction. The plurality of rear through-holes 225 in the rear opening 223 and the side through-holes 228 in the side opening 226 are each opened, so that the fluid in the reverse direction is directed to the plurality of the rear through-holes 225 and the side holes. By flowing into the shell body 221 from the through hole 228 and flowing out through the front opening 222, the resistance force when the cup 22 rolls is reduced, and the cup 22 is rotated. The shaft 20 can roll so as to go around only in one direction.

  In a preferred embodiment, the rear partition 224 of the shell body 221 forms a form in which the width gradually decreases from the front opening 222 toward the rear opening 223, so that the rear opening 223 extends from the rear opening 223. The resistance force composed of the fluid in the reverse direction flowing to the front opening 222 is reduced, and the lateral partition 227 gradually narrows from the inside of the shell body 221 toward the outside of the shell body 221. By forming, the resistance force which consists of the fluid of the reverse direction which flows into the said shell body 221 from the said shell body 221 inside is reduced. At the same time, the shell body 221 is gradually reduced from the front opening 222 toward the rear opening 223, so that the resistance force composed of the fluid in the reverse direction is also reduced.

  From this, the plurality of drive modules 21 can receive fluid drive and interlock the unidirectional rolling of the rotary shaft 20, so that the generator 1 supplies a conversion of electrical energy from mechanical energy. Yes.

  From the above, since the shell body 221 has a surrounding wall surface, the fluid that does not flow directly toward the thrust surface on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231 hits the wall surface of the shell body 221. Then, it flows toward the thrust surface on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231 and, after hitting the wall surface of the shell body 221, generates a component force perpendicular to the thrust surface on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231. You can also. Accordingly, even if the flow rate of the fluid that flows directly toward the thrust surface on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231 is at least the fluid that does not flow directly toward the thrust surface on the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231, for example, the The driving force can be increased by using the fluid flowing from the oblique front of the front opening 222 toward the rear opening 223, and the rotary shaft 20 can be stably rolled. That is, as long as there is a certain fluid flow in the vicinity of the shell body 221, the cup 22 can be driven to interlock the rolling of the rotating shaft 20.

  Further, each of the drive modules 21 can connect the shell body 221 and the rotating shaft 20 of the cup 22 from the two connecting rods 24 to increase the supporting force, and one connecting rod. 24, the shell body 221 of the cup 22 and the rotary shaft 20 can be connected.

  Furthermore, the rear opening 223 of the shell body 221 partitions the plurality of rear through-holes 225 by the plurality of rear partitions 224 that intersect vertically and horizontally, and each of the rear movable panels 231 passes through each of the rear through-holes 225. By closing the hole 225 in one direction, the resistance force of the fluid in the reverse direction is reduced. Moreover, since the area of the said rear movable panel 231 is small, the risk of damage is reduced by rotating flexibly. Alternatively, the rear opening 223 of the shell body 221 may be closed in one direction by a large area single rear movable panel without a partition. Alternatively, the rear partition 224 may be installed at equal intervals only in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. Similarly, the arrangement form of the side partition 227, the side through hole 228, and the side movable panel 233 is provided as the rear partition 224, the rear through hole 225, and the rear movable panel 231 described above. You can also.

  Referring now to FIG. 5, in another preferred embodiment, the shape of the cup 220 can also be provided in the form of a funnel, and the cup 220 in the form of a funnel provides resistance to the reverse fluid. The reduction effect is achieved, and the other member configurations and implementation methods are the same as in the above-described embodiment.

  Next, referring to FIG. 6, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to hydroelectric power generation, the generator 1 can be provided on a floating carrier 8 on a fluid, and the floating carrier 8 is a ship anchor or a buoy. The carrier can float on the water surface and can load the generator 1. The generator 1 can be connected to the two rotating shafts 20 from a side surface direction, and the rotating shaft 20 can be floated from the short side direction. After penetrating the carrier 8, the drive modules 21 are positioned in the fluid below the floating carrier 8 because they extend in a curve toward the fluid below the floating carrier 8. From this, the floating carrier 8 is installed on the surface of the sea, on the surface of the lake, or on the surface of the river, and the floating carrier 8 is attached to a rock or the like in the water so that each of the rotating shafts 20 enters the water, and each of the driving Module 21 sinks into the water. Thereby, each said cup 22 is driven using a water flow, and it rolls so that the said rotating shaft 20 may be circulated, and the other member structure and the implementation method are the same as the Example mentioned above.

  From this, it is possible to increase the driving force using the fluid in the positive direction and the non-positive direction via the cup 22 included in each of the drive modules 21, particularly in a situation where the flow rate of the fluid in the positive direction is small. Below, the rolling of the rotary shaft 20 can be driven using a fluid that is not yet flowing directly toward the inner surface of the rear movable panel 231, and the generator 1 is supplied with stable mechanical energy. Can generate electricity continuously, increasing the production of electricity. Further, since the entire structure of the rolling mechanism 2 is suitable for airflow drive or waterflow drive, it can be installed on land and below the water surface, further increasing the usable range, and the power of fluid in nature. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention can be achieved.
