Patent No. 4791353 Patent No. 4563179 Patent No. 5557858 JP2017-218998A

Ease of transportation, ease of installation, and power generation capacity are important requirements for a power supply system to supply electricity to non-electrified areas and areas affected by disasters in developing countries.
In Patent Document 1, the size of the unit is assumed to be a 1 m square cube, and a sufficient amount of power generation cannot be obtained. In addition, a 1m square cube is advantageous for transportation in that it can be transported even by a small truck, but when multiple pieces are loaded and transported by truck, the size of the cube does not fit the loading platform and the product is left unfinished, resulting in waste. many.
In Patent Documents 2 and 3, since containers with standard dimensions are used, transport efficiency is good when transporting by sea or air, in addition to land transport by truck or train.
However, the wind power generation devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3 all use horizontal axis type wind turbines, and thus have low power generation efficiency when downsized. If the size of the wind turbine is small enough to be easily transported and installed in non-electrified areas in developing countries or areas affected by disasters, the power generation efficiency will be poor and the power generation capacity will be insufficient. In addition, horizontal axis wind turbines are difficult to rotate at low wind speeds, and when installed in a limited location in a disaster-stricken area, it may not be possible to find a location where they can efficiently generate electricity.

In Patent Document 4, since a vertical axis type wind turbine is used, there is no drawback of the above-mentioned horizontal axis type wind turbine, and since the blades can be folded, the wind turbine has excellent transportability and ease of installation. However, there is no disclosure regarding how to transport the folded wind turbine.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vertical axis wind power generation device that is easy to transport, easy to install, and can secure power generating capacity even if it is small.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a container-housed hydroelectric power generation device that improves the transportability of the small hydroelectric power generation device.

The vertical axis wind power generation device of the present invention has a main shaft installed at the top of a support column so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis, and a plurality of blades extending vertically around the main shaft connected via arms. A vertical axis wind power generation device comprising a type wind turbine and a generator that generates electricity by rotating the main shaft,
A container having standard dimensions for transporting cargo is provided, the wind turbine can be housed in the container together with the generator, and a strut fixing means for fixing the struts of the wind turbine to the container is provided.

According to this configuration, since it is a vertical axis wind power generation device, unlike a horizontal axis type, it is possible to efficiently generate power even if it is small enough to be transported by one truck, and it can efficiently generate power at low wind speed.
In addition, it is equipped with a standard-sized container for cargo transportation, and the wind turbine can be stored in the container together with the generator, so it can be used for land transportation by truck or train, sea transportation, or air transportation using a standard-sized container. It can be handled as a container and has excellent transportability. Therefore, the power generation device can be made as large as possible within the size restrictions for transportation, which is advantageous in terms of securing generated power.
Regarding the installation of the windmill, the container is provided with a strut fixing means for fixing the windmill's struts, making it easy to install the windmill in the container and allowing the container to be used as the foundation of the windmill.
Therefore, it is easy to transport, can be installed easily and quickly, and can secure power generation capacity even if it is small. This makes it possible to meet the demand for electricity in non-electrified areas and areas affected by disasters.
Note that the above-mentioned "container with standard dimensions for cargo transport" may be at least a domestic standard for transporting containers; It is a standard established by an institution.

In this invention, the vertical axis wind turbine may be foldable or disassembleable.
If the wind turbine is foldable or disassembled, larger vertical axis wind turbines can be easily transported.
The vertical axis wind turbine may be an assembled type that can be disassembled, but if it is foldable, the installation work is much easier and can be installed quickly.

In this invention, the windmill may be able to be stored in the container in a folded state or in a disassembled state.
If the wind turbine can be stored in a container in a folded or disassembled state, larger vertical axis wind turbines can be accommodated in the container.

When the vertical axis wind turbine has a foldable configuration, an inclined table is provided in the container that is inclined so that the opening side of the longitudinal end of the container is lower, and on which the folded body of the wind turbine is placed so that it can be put in and taken out from the opening. may be provided.
By providing a ramp inside the container and storing the folded wind turbine on it, it is possible to slide the folded wind turbine under its own weight on the ramp at the installation site and remove it from the container. This makes on-site installation easier. For example, a folded wind turbine can be removed from a container manually without the use of heavy machinery.
Wind turbines are stored in containers by being pushed up on a slope, but factories and storage warehouses for vertical axis wind power generators are generally equipped with heavy machinery and other equipment. There are no storage problems. When considering installation in a disaster-stricken area, it is preferable to be able to easily remove the container from the container by hand in an installation location that is not suitable for heavy machinery. By the time the vertical axis wind power generator is no longer needed and is removed, traffic conditions in the surrounding area have often been restored, making it easier to use heavy machinery. Alternatively, it is also possible to manually push it up onto the slope using a winch or the like from the state shown in FIG. 39 and store it in the state shown in FIG. 38.

In the case where the container is provided with the ramp, the container may include a drawer expansion mechanism that supports the work of pulling out, unfolding, and standing up the folded body of the wind turbine using the ramp.
If the container is equipped with such a drawer expansion mechanism, the installation work can be performed even more easily and quickly.
In addition, when the total length of the vertical axis wind turbine is shorter than the long side of the container, it can be stored without being folded, and the installation work for such a wind turbine can be performed more quickly than for a folding type wind turbine.

In this invention, the container may have a double door that opens and closes an opening at a longitudinal end of the container, and the door in an open state functions as an outrigger.
By having the container door function as an outrigger, the stability of the container and the wind turbine fixed thereto can be ensured against strong winds, earthquakes, etc., without the need for a dedicated outrigger.

In the case where the door functions as an outrigger, the container may have an inner door inside the door to prevent intrusion from the outside.
When a door is used as an outrigger, the interior is left open and there is a risk of intrusion from wind and rain or theft, but the inner door prevents such intrusion and theft.

In this invention, a solar panel that is assembled on a frame so as to be installed outside or on the container and that generates solar power, and a storage battery that stores the generated power are connected to the wind turbine in the folded or disassembled state. It may also be possible to accommodate the container in the container.
In this configuration, both wind power generation and solar power generation can be performed. The solar panels are mounted on a frame, so they can be installed simply by placing them outside or on top of the container.
When a plurality of solar panels assembled on a mount are provided, a large number of solar panels can be stored in a container by forming a shape that allows them to be combined in a nested manner when stored in a container.

In this invention, the door may be provided with a windmill holding means for holding the windmill along the inside of the door of the container while the windmill is housed in the container.
When moving a wind turbine, removing it from its installation location and storing it in a container using a cart or the like poses the following problems. Because there is a level difference between the floor inside the container and the ground, it is necessary to install a slope separately, and furthermore, it is extremely difficult to raise a cart carrying a heavy wind turbine onto the floor using a slope. Even when a wind turbine installed inside a container is installed outside the container, a slope must be installed and then the trolley carrying the wind turbine must be lowered from the container.

As a means to solve this problem, the door is equipped with a windmill holding means that holds the windmill along the inside of the door of the container while the windmill is housed in the container. Therefore, after opening the door and taking the windmill held along the inside of the door out of the container, it is possible to receive the windmill on a cart or the like without using a slope or the like and move it to the desired installation location. It becomes possible. Even when the windmill is removed from the installation location and stored in a container, the door is left open and the windmill holding means allows the windmill to be easily held along the inside of the door without using a slope or the like. .

In the invention including the windmill holding means, the windmill holding means may have a function of changing the position of the windmill from inside the door to a position further away from the inside of the door.
Although the door can be opened and the windmill held along the inside of the door can be easily taken out of the container, it may be difficult to move it with a trolley depending on the road surface, such as gravel or dirt. Therefore, the windmill holding means changes the position of the windmill from the inside of the door to a position further away from the inside of this door, thereby moving and fixing the windmill to a desired installation location without having to lower the windmill from the door. It becomes possible to do so.

The door may include a water wheel holding means for holding the water turbine along the inside of the door of the container while the water turbine is housed in the container. In this case, with the door opened and the water turbine held along the inside of the door taken out of the container, it is possible to receive the water turbine on a cart or the like without using a slope or the like and move it to the desired installation location. It becomes possible. Even when the water turbine is removed from the installation location and stored in the container, the water turbine holding means allows the water turbine to be easily held along the inside of the door without using a slope or the like.

In this invention, the wind turbine is movable up and down between a use position where the blades protrude upward from the height range of the container and a storage position where the blades are stored within the height range of the container. A linear guide device for guiding may be provided in the container.
If the wind turbine can be raised and lowered using a linear guide device like this, it can be easily deployed to a usable state at the destination, and it can also be easily removed or evacuated during strong winds. .

In the case where the windmill can be raised and lowered, a winding-type lifting device may be provided that can raise and lower the windmill by winding up a winding member connected to the upper part of the container and the lower part of the support. good.
In the case of this configuration, the wind turbine can be raised and lowered by operating the lifting device, and the work of raising and lowering the wind turbine becomes even easier. Since the hoisting machine for lifting and lowering is configured to hoist up a winding member connected to the upper part of the container and the lower part of the support column, a simple structure can be adopted. For example, a general winch or the like can be used.
As the wrapping member, a chain, rope, belt, etc. can be used.
When an elevating device such as an elevating hoist for elevating the wind turbine is provided, the column fixing means may be provided exclusively for fixing separately from the elevating device, etc., or the elevating device or linear guide device may be used to fix the column. It may also serve as a means. If a linear guide device is provided, movements other than vertical movement are restricted, so when vertical movement is restricted by the lifting device, the wind turbine is fixed to the container.

The lifting device may be an electric type that performs a hoisting operation by driving an electric motor.
The hoist for raising and lowering may be a manual type, but if it is an electric type, the wind turbine can be raised and lowered more easily by operating a switch.

When the windmill can be raised and lowered, the container has an upper opening on the ceiling surface through which the windmill can go in and out, and the support is provided with an inner lid that seals the upper opening when the windmill is raised. It's okay.
By providing an inner cover on the support column, when the wind turbine is raised to the operating position, the top opening of the container is closed by the inner cover, eliminating the need for a special operation to close the inner cover.

The container-housed hydroelectric power generation device of the present invention includes a container with standard dimensions for transporting cargo, and a small hydropower generation device that can be installed in a waterway and can be stored in and taken out from the container.
According to the hydroelectric power generation device having this configuration, since the small hydropower generation device is housed in a container with standard dimensions, it is excellent in transportability.

The vertical axis wind power generation device of the present invention has a main shaft installed at the top of a support column so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis, and a plurality of blades extending vertically around the main shaft connected via arms. A vertical axis wind power generation device comprising a type wind turbine and a generator that generates electricity by rotating the main shaft, the vertical axis wind power generation device comprising a container having standard dimensions for cargo transportation, the wind turbine being able to be stored in the container together with the generator. Since the container is provided with a strut fixing means for fixing the struts of the wind turbine, transportation is easy and installation is easy, and power generation capacity can be ensured even if the wind turbine is small.

The container-housed hydroelectric power generation device of the present invention has excellent transportability because it includes a container with standard dimensions for cargo transportation and a small hydropower generation device that can be installed in a waterway and can be stored in and taken out from the container.

The slope 21 has a width that forms a part of the container 2 in the width direction, and is located offset from the center of the container 2 in the width direction, depending on the shape and dimensions of the folded wind turbine 1.
Note that instead of the inclined table 21, the container 2 may be provided with a storage and loading/unloading table (not shown) having a horizontal upper surface.

In FIG. 1, the storage battery 4 and the control panel 50 are installed in a fixed state on the floor surface in the inner part of the container 2 next to the ramp 21. The control panel 50 includes an AC/DC converter that converts the AC power generated by the generator 3 into a voltage that can be stored in the storage battery 4, a power generation controller that controls power generation by rotation of the windmill 1, and a power generation controller that converts the AC power generated by the generator 3 into a voltage that can be stored in the storage battery 4. It is equipped with an inverter, etc. that converts the AC power into sine wave AC, similar to AC commercial power, or into square wave AC.

16 to 21 show the column raising/lowering mechanism 18 in the main shaft unit folding mechanism 13 (FIG. 1). As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the wind turbine installation stand 17 is connected to the lower end of the inclined stand 21 in the inclined direction so that it can be raised and lowered around a horizontal support shaft 23, and can be inserted into and removed from the locking hole 24. By means of a locking device (not shown) such as an inserted pin, the posture can be fixed between the upright storage posture shown in FIG. 16 and the horizontal use posture shown in FIG. 17.

The wind turbine installation base 17 is provided with a column connecting plate 25 at a portion closer to the base end than the center, and a fixed receiving hook 26 and a rotatable covering side hook 27 are provided at the tips of both sides. ing.
As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, a supported bar 28 is fixed to the base end of the support column 6 between brackets 29 on both sides, and a base end connecting plate 30 is provided. .
The support column 6 has the supported bar 28 engaged with the receiving hook 26 of the wind turbine installation stand 17 as shown in FIG. 18, and the covered side hook 27 of the wind turbine installation stand 17 covered with the supported bar 28 as shown in FIG. In this state, stand up as shown in Figure 20. In this state, as shown in FIG. 21, the base end connecting plate 30 of the strut 6 overlaps the strut connecting plate 25 of the wind turbine installation stand 17, so it is installed in alignment with the strut connecting plate 25 and the base end connecting plate 30. The lower end of the support column 6 is fixed to the wind turbine installation base 17 by inserting a bolt (not shown) across the bolt insertion holes 31 (FIG. 19) and 32 and securing it with a nut.
By reversing the procedure described above, the upright support column 6 can be brought into a collapsed state.
The support hook 26, the cover hook 27, the supported bar 28 (FIG. 20), the support connection plate 25, and the proximal connection plate 30 constitute the support support mechanism 18.

FIG. 22 shows the spindle raising/lowering connection mechanism 19 in the spindle unit folding mechanism 13. The figure shows the support column 6 in a lying position. The main shaft lower end support member 15 is connected to the upper end of the column 6 by a hinge device 33 so as to be able to rise and fall. Specifically, the main shaft lower end support member 15 rises and falls integrally with the main shaft 5 (FIG. 2) around the rotation support shaft 33a of the hinge device 33. The hinge device 33 and a connecting member (not shown) that is provided on the opposite side in the column diameter direction from the position where the hinge device 33 is provided and connects the column 6 and the main shaft lower end support member 15 in a releasable manner. The above-mentioned main shaft raising/lowering connection mechanism 19 is constituted by the above-mentioned main shaft raising/lowering coupling mechanism 19.

23 to 28 show an example of the wing unit folding mechanism 14 and its folding form. The wing unit folding mechanism 14 of this example is a mechanism that folds the wing units 12, each consisting of a wing 7 and an arm 8, into a mutually overlapping state, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 26. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, each wing unit 12 is constituted by a rotary connecting member 34 that is rotatably installed around the main shaft 5 and to which the base end of the arm 8 is connected. The rotary connecting members 34 of each blade unit 12 are arranged vertically, and by rotating each rotary connecting member 34 to a phase in which they substantially overlap each other as shown in FIG. 28, a plurality of blade units 12 can be connected. It is folded into an overlapping state like 26. The rotary connection member 34 (FIG. 28) of one wing unit 12 among the plurality of wing units 12 may be fixed and not rotated with respect to the main shaft 5. In that case, the fixed rotating coupling member 34 is simply a coupling member.

The usage and operation of the vertical axis wind power generator having the above configuration will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 1, in this vertical axis wind power generation device, a support 6 of a wind turbine 1 is fixed to a container 2, and the container 2 is used as a base to generate wind power. The container 2 may be fixed to the ground using fixing means (not shown). During transportation or storage, the wind turbine 1 is folded together with the main shaft unit 11 and the blade unit 12 as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8, and the folded wind turbine body is stored in the container 2 by placing it on a slope 21. Note that FIGS. 7 and 8 show a state in which the wind turbine installation stand 17 is not stored in the container 2.

9 to 18 show the process from the operating state to the storage of the vertical axis wind power generator into the container 2.
FIG. 9 shows the operating state of the vertical axis wind power generator. When storing in the container 2, first, the entire windmill 1 is folded down as shown in FIG. In this case, it is folded down by the column raising/lowering mechanism 18 (see FIGS. 16 to 21) in the spindle unit folding mechanism 13.
Next, the main shaft unit 11 is folded as shown in FIG. 11 using the main shaft raising/lowering coupling mechanism 19 (FIG. 22) so that the support 6 and the main shaft 5 overlap.

Thereafter, the wing units 12 are folded by the wing unit folding mechanism 14 (FIGS. 27 and 28) so that the wing units 12 overlap each other as shown in FIG. 24.
The folded wind turbine body obtained by folding the wind turbine 1 in this manner is pushed onto the inclined table 21 as shown in FIG. 13 and stored in the container 2.
In this state, the wind turbine installation stand 17 connected to the lower end of the inclined table 21 is in a state of protruding from the opening 2a of the container 2, and the wind turbine installation stand 17 is erected and stored in the container 2 as shown in FIG.
The door 10 of the container 2 is closed as shown in FIG. 15, and storage is completed. In this way, the wind turbine 1 is stored in the container 2 in a folded state and is transported or stored.

According to the vertical axis wind power generation device with this configuration, unlike the horizontal axis type, since it is a vertical axis wind power generation device, it can generate electricity efficiently even if it is small enough to be transported by one truck, and it is efficient at low wind speeds. It can generate electricity well.
In addition, it is equipped with a container 2 with standard dimensions for cargo transportation, and the wind turbine 2 can be stored in the container 2 together with the generator 3 in a folded state, so when transporting by land by truck or train, by sea, or by air. Moreover, it can be handled as a normal standard-sized container and has excellent transportability. Therefore, the power generation device can be made as large as possible within the size restrictions for transportation, which is advantageous in terms of securing generated power.
In particular, since the main shaft unit 11 having the strut 6 and the main shaft 5 and the wing unit 12 having the wings 7 and the arm 8 for supporting the wings 7 are both foldable, they can be folded into a compact state and have better transportability. . Also, since it is foldable, it can be easily installed by unfolding it from the folded state at the destination.
Since not only the wing unit 12 but also the main shaft unit 11 having the strut 6 is made foldable, there is no problem in transportation even if the strut 6 is raised to a certain degree so that wind power can be secured and generated power can be secured.

The main shaft unit folding mechanism 13 has a column raising/lowering mechanism 18 that connects the column 6 to the wind turbine installation base 17 so that the column 6 can be raised and folded, and since the column 6 can be folded up and down, it can be folded and transported more compactly. can.
In addition, the spindle unit folding mechanism 13 connects a spindle lower end support member 15, which is located at the upper end of the support column 6 and rotatably supports the spindle 5 at the lower end of the spindle, so that the spindle 5 can be raised and fallen. Since the main shaft 5 is provided with the main shaft raising/lowering coupling mechanism 19 that allows the main shaft 5 to follow the posture along the support column 6, the main shaft 5 can be folded into a posture along the support column 6, so that it can be folded and transported even more compactly.

Regarding the installation of the wind turbine 1, a strut fixing means 20 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) for fixing the struts 6 of the wind turbine 1 to the container 2 is provided. can be used as the basis of the wind turbine 1.
For these reasons, transportation is easy, installation is easy and quick, and power generation capacity can be ensured even if the device is small. This makes it possible to meet the demand for electricity in non-electrified areas and areas affected by disasters.

Furthermore, since the container 2 is provided with a slope 21 that is inclined so that the opening 2a side at the longitudinal end is lower, and the folded body of the wind turbine 1 is stored on the slope, the structure is such that the folded wind turbine 1 is stored on the slope 21 at the installation site. The folded body of the wind turbine 1 can be slid under its own weight and carried out from the container 2, facilitating installation work on site. For example, the folded body of the wind turbine 1 can be taken out from the container 2 manually without using heavy machinery.
In order to store the folded wind turbine 1 in the container 2, it must be pushed up on the slope 21, but in factories and storage warehouses for vertical axis wind power generators, equipment such as heavy machinery is not available. Generally, there are no problems with storage operations. When considering installation in a disaster-stricken area, it is preferable to be able to easily remove the container from the container by hand in an installation location that is not suitable for heavy machinery. By the time the vertical axis wind power generator is no longer needed and is removed, traffic conditions in the surrounding area have often been restored, making it easier to use heavy machinery. Alternatively, it is also possible to manually push it up onto the slope using a winch or the like from the state shown in FIG. 39 and store it in the state shown in FIG. 38.

Various other embodiments of this invention will be described below. These embodiments are the same as the first embodiment except for the matters specifically described.
In the first embodiment, in the installed state, the double door 10 of the container 2 may function as an outrigger in the open state. When functioning as an outrigger, an intervening object (not shown) is provided between the door 10 and the installation surface of the container 2, or extendable legs (not shown) are provided on the door 10 so that the container 2 To enable the door 10 to bear the load when tilting.
Since the door 10 of the container 2 functions as an outrigger, the stability of the container 2 and the wind turbine 1 fixed thereto can be ensured against strong winds, earthquakes, etc. without providing a dedicated outrigger.

When the door 10 functions as an outrigger, for example, as shown in FIG. 29, a reinforcing cable 35 such as a wire rope may be stretched between the lower end of the tip of the double door 10 and the support column 6. This makes the support of the wind turbine 1 even more stable.

Further, when the door 10 functions as an outrigger, an inner door 36 may be provided inside the door 10 of the container 2 to prevent intrusion from the outside, as shown in FIGS. 30 to 32. The inner door 36 may have an opening 36a with an opening/closing door. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the inner door 36 can be opened upward by a hinge 37 at the upper edge of the opening 2a of the container 2.
If the door 10 (Fig. 30) is used as an outrigger, the inside of the container 2 will be left open and there is a risk of intrusion from wind and rain or theft, but the inner door 36 prevents such intrusion and theft. be done.

33 to 37 show modifications of the wing unit folding mechanism 14. The wing unit folding mechanism 14A of this example includes an arm base end bending connection part 38 that bendably connects the arm 8 of the wing unit 12 to the main shaft 5 at the base end, and an arm 8 that connects the arm 8 to the wing 7 at the tip. It has an arm tip bending connection part 39 that is bendably connected.
The wings 7 may be folded upward relative to the main shaft 5 as shown in FIG. 34(A), or may be folded downward as shown in FIG. 34(B).

As shown in FIG. 35, the arm base end bending connection portion 38 engages with a hinge 38a and the base end of the arm 8 connected to the hinge 38a to regulate the inclination angle of the arm 8 when deployed. It consists of a stopper member 38b. The arm 8 and the stopper member 38b overlap each other as shown in FIG. 36 when the arm 8 is expanded, that is, when the arm 8 is at an angle when using the windmill, and the bolts provided on the arm 8 and the stopper member 38b are inserted. It is fixed by bolts and nuts (both not shown) inserted through the holes 41 and 42.
FIG. 37 shows an example of the arm tip bending connection part 39. In this example, the arm tip bending connection portion 39 is constituted by a hinge.

Also with this configuration, the wing unit 12 can be folded compactly.

38 to 44 show that in the first embodiment, the folded body of the wind turbine 1 consisting of the main shaft unit 11 and the blade unit 12 in the folded state stored on the inclined table 21 is pulled out using the inclined table 21, and This is an example in which the container 2 is provided with a drawer unfolding mechanism 43 that supports the work of unfolding and setting up.

The drawer expansion mechanism 43 includes a winch 44 installed on the floor near the end on the back side of the opening 2a in the container 2, and a winch 44 that is wound around the winch 44 and whose tip is connected to the intermediate portion in the length direction of the support column 6. The guide roller 46 is provided inside the container 2 above the winch 44 and has the rope 45 hung thereon.

According to this configuration, by unwinding the winch 44, the folded body of the wind turbine 1 slides down on the slope 17 under its own weight and exits from the opening 2a of the container 2 as shown in FIG. 39(A). In this process, since the winch 44 is used, the folded body of the wind turbine 1 can be lowered gently and safely. In this state, the operator unfolds the wing unit 12 as shown in FIG. 39(B), and further extends the main shaft unit 11 so that the support 6 and main shaft 5 continue in a straight line, as shown in FIG. 39(C). Let it unfold.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 40(A), the wind turbine 1 is gradually erected by winding the winch 44, and when it is completely erected as shown in FIG. 20 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
41 to 44 show the above process in perspective views.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 45, the guide roller 46 provided in the container 2 may be provided at the entrance 2a of the container 2.

By providing such a drawer expansion mechanism 43, the installation work of this vertical axis wind power generator at the installation site can be performed more easily and quickly.

FIG. 46 shows an example in which two windmills 1 are fixed to both ends of the container 2 in the longitudinal direction. Both wind turbines 1 are stored in a folded state in a container 2 similarly to the first embodiment. In this case, openings 2a are provided at both ends of the container 2, and the inclined tables 21 of FIG. 1 are installed side by side in the width direction inside the container 2 with opposite directions.
In this way, two wind turbines 1 may be stored in the container 2 in a folded state, and then unfolded and fixed to the container 2.

FIGS. 47 to 52 show an example in which a solar panel 51 is added in the first embodiment. The solar panel 51 is formed into a panel shape by arranging a plurality of solar cells (not shown). The solar panel 51 is installed at an angle on a mount 52 so as to easily receive sunlight, and the solar panel 51 and the mount 52 constitute a mount-equipped solar panel 53. The solar panel with mount 53 may have casters 54 (FIG. 48). This solar panel 53 with a mount is housed in the container 2 together with the wind turbine 1 in the folded state.

The mounts 52 of the solar panels 53 with mounts are shaped so that they can be stored in a nested manner so that the solar panels 51 of the solar panels 53 with mounts can be overlapped one after another with a slight shift as shown in FIG. 48. These plural solar panels 53 with mounts are stored in the empty space on the side of the inclined table 21 in the container 2 in the above-described overlapping state.
Note that if it is desired to accommodate a large number of solar panels 51 without increasing the size of the container 2, the wind turbine 1 is configured to be smaller than that of the first embodiment.
In this embodiment, a solar charger is added to the control panel 50 (FIG. 1) in the container 2 to charge the storage battery 4 with the power generated by each solar panel 51.

In this configuration, at the installation location of the vertical axis wind power generation device, the solar panels 53 with mounts are installed side by side on the ground around the container 2, as shown in FIGS. 47 and 49 to 52. The solar panels 53 with mounts may be installed side by side on the ceiling board of the container 2 as shown in FIG. 64.

When the solar panel 51 is used in combination in this way, power can be generated by sunlight during sunny times, and generated power can be secured even when there is no wind. Since each solar panel 53 with a mount is installed separately from the container 2, there is no need to be concerned about the orientation of the installation location of the container 2.

54 to 63 show various examples of the solar panel 53 with a mount. In the examples shown in FIGS. 57 and 61, the leg portions 52a of the pedestal 52 are made extendable and retractable, thereby making it possible to adjust the inclination angle of the solar panel 51.

65 to 70 show still other embodiments of the invention. These embodiments are the same as the first embodiment except for the matters specifically described.
In this embodiment, the wind turbine 1 is placed in a use position where the blades 7 protrude upward from the height range of the container 2 (the position shown in FIG. 65) and a storage position where the blades 7 are stored within the height range of the container 2. The container 2 is provided with a linear guide device 71 that guides the container 2 so as to be movable up and down (the position shown in FIG. 66). Further, a lifting device 75 for lifting and lowering the wind turbine 1 is provided.
The container 2 is a standard-sized container that can be transported by land or air in order to transport a system for supplying power in areas affected by disasters or the like. Here, a 12-foot container is assumed.

The linear motion guide device 71 is composed of a rolling type linear guide (also called a linear motion rolling bearing) or the like, and is attached to the inner surface of the wall 2b at one end of the container 2. The linear motion guide device 71 includes a fixed rail 72 attached to the wall 2b of the container 2 along the vertical direction, and a plurality of upper and lower movable members 73 assembled to the fixed rail so as to be movable in the vertical direction. The movable member 73 is attached to the lower part of the support column 6 of the wind turbine 1.

As shown in FIG. 67A, the lifting device 75 includes a lifting hoist that can raise and lower the wind turbine 1 by winding up a winding member 76 connected to the upper part of the container 2 and the lower part of the support column 6. For example, a winch is used. The wrapping member 76 is a rope, a belt, or a chain, and hooks 77 and 78 are provided at both upper and lower ends. The upper hook 77 engages with a receiving metal fitting 79 attached to the upper part of the container 2, and the lower hook 78 engages with a receiving metal fitting 80 attached to the lower end of the column 6.
The lifting device 75 is of a manual winding type in which a handle or the like (not shown) rotates a drum around which the winding member 76 is wound. The lifting device 75 may be an electric type in which the drum is rotated by an electric motor 81 (see FIG. 67B). The lifting device 75 in FIG. 67B is a hand-wound type, but an electric motor 81 is added as shown in phantom lines.

The ceiling 2c of the container 2 has an upper opening 83 through which the wind turbine 1 can enter and exit, and this upper opening 83 is provided with a door (not shown), which can be opened and closed as necessary. The door can be closed when the windmill 1 is stored in the container 2, and opened when the windmill 1 is deployed to the use position. The shape and size of the upper surface opening 83 are such that entry and exit of the container 2 is possible only when the rotor blade 9 composed of two blades 7 of the wind turbine 1 is in a rotational phase along the end surface of the container 2. It is rectangular along the end face so that the opening area can be kept to a minimum.

According to this configuration, inside the container 2, the support 6 of the wind turbine 1 is attached to a linear guide device 71 installed vertically on the wall 2b inside the container 2. When deploying the windmill 1, the winding member 76 connecting the hook 77 that engages with the upper part of the container 2 and the hook 78 that engages with the lower part of the support 6 of the windmill 1 is manually rolled up using the lifting device 75. The windmill 1 can be easily pulled up onto the container 2.
The ceiling of the container 2 has a top opening 83, which can be closed like a door when the windmill 1 is stored and opened when the windmill 1 is deployed, as needed. Further, an inner lid 68 (FIG. 68) may be provided to protect the inside of the container 2 from wind and rain even when the wind turbine 1 is deployed. The inner cover 68 may be attached to the pillar 6 of the wind turbine 1. Thereby, the inner lid 68 is closed from the inside at the same time as the wind turbine 1 is pulled up, and the container 2 can be sealed.

If it is necessary to more easily unfold and store, an electric hoist may be used as the lifting device 75. As a result, the wind turbine 1 can be deployed and stored simply by operating a switch. In that case, it is preferable to attach a limit switch or the like (not shown) to the support column 6 and the container 2, and add a function to automatically stop the electric lifting device after deployment and storage.

The lifting device 75 may also serve as a column fixing means for fixing the column 6 of the wind turbine 1 to the container 2 together with the linear guide device 71. A dedicated column fixing means for fixing may be provided.
FIG. 67B shows an example in which bolts are used as the strut fixing means 85 and the struts 6 of the wind turbine 1 and the container 2 are fixed with bolts. In this example, a fixture 86 fixed to the support column 6 is fixed to a container-side fixture 87 that is integrated with the container 2 with a bolt 88.

In the above embodiment, the wind turbine 1 is placed inside the container 2, but the wind turbine 1 may be fixed at an outside of the container 2, as shown in FIGS. 69 and 70, if necessary.
When the wind turbine 1 is attached outside the container 2, the space inside the container 2 is expanded and the internal space can be used effectively.
However, the wind turbine 1 has a shape and size that allows it to be stored in the container 2 as it is, folded, or disassembled. Thereby, when a large typhoon or the like approaches, the wind turbine 1 can be immediately stored, and damage to the wind turbine 1 due to the typhoon can be prevented.

As mentioned above, when the windmill 1 is attached to the outside of the container 2, if the container 2 is moved with the windmill 1 attached, there is a problem that the windmill 1 may be damaged. Therefore, when moving the container 2, the wind turbine 1 is removed from the linear guide device 71 and stored in the container using a cart (not shown) or the like. In that case, there is a difference in level between the floor inside the container and the ground, so it is necessary to install a slope separately, and it is extremely difficult to raise the cart carrying the heavy wind turbine 1 onto the floor using a slope. Have difficulty. Even when a wind turbine installed inside a container is installed outside the container, a slope must be installed and then the trolley carrying the wind turbine must be lowered from the container.

As a means to solve this problem, as shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, the door 10A is equipped with a wind turbine holding means Ha for holding the wind turbine 1 along the inside of the door 10A of the container 2 while the wind turbine 1 is stored in the container 2. Ta. Further, the door 10A is provided with a water wheel holding means Hb for holding the small hydroelectric power generation device 60 including the water wheel 62 along the inside of the door 10A of the container 2 while the small hydroelectric power generation device 60 is housed in the container 2. The container 2 of this embodiment has openings 2a on both sides, and is provided with double doors 10A, 10A for opening and closing each opening 2a.

As shown in FIG. 75, which is an enlarged view of the lower left side of FIG. , and a plurality of bolts (not shown) that are screwed into the inside of the door 10A (FIG. 74) of the container 2. The fixing fitting 86 is provided with an engaged portion 86b that can be engaged with the lower hook 78 of the wrapping member 76 (see FIG. 67A).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 74, with the door 10A opened and the windmill 1 held along the inside of the door 10A taken out of the container, the windmill 1 is received on a cart or the like without using a slope or the like. For example, as shown in FIGS. 69 and 70, the wind turbine 1 can be easily attached to the linear guide device 71 outside the container 2. Even when the wind turbine 1 is removed from the installation location and stored in a container, as shown in FIG. 74, the door 10A is opened and the wind turbine holding means Ha allows the wind turbine to be easily removed without using a slope or the like. 1 can be held along the inside of the door 10A.

As shown in FIG. 76, which is an enlarged view of the upper right side of FIG. 74(b), and FIG. 66, 66, and a plurality of bolts and nuts 67 inserted into long holes formed in the bases Kd, Kd and connected to each support member 66. The two supporting members 66, 66 are fixed in parallel to the inside of the door 10A of the container 2, and each extends perpendicularly to the wall surface with a predetermined interval. Each support member 66 is made of, for example, equilateral angle steel such as a so-called angle.

In this case, with the door 10A opened and the water turbine 62 held along the inside of the door 10A taken out of the container, the water turbine 62 is received on a cart or the like without using a slope or the like, and placed at the desired installation location. It becomes possible to move. Even when the water wheel 62 is removed from the installation location and stored in a container, the water wheel 62 can be easily held along the inside of the door 10A by the water wheel holding means Hb without using a slope or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 73, 74, etc., the door 10A can be opened and the wind turbine 1 held along the inside of the door 10A can be easily taken out of the container. It may be difficult to move with a trolley.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 77, the wind turbine holding means Ha may include a link mechanism 68 that has the function of changing the position of the wind turbine 1 from the inside of the door 10A to a position further away from the inside of the door 10A. good. The link mechanism 68 includes a bracket 69 and first and second link plates L1 and L2. A bracket 69 is fixed to the inner open end of the door 10A, and one longitudinal end of the first link plate L1 is supported by the bracket 69 so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis. At the other end of the first link plate L1 in the longitudinal direction, one end of the second link plate L2 in the longitudinal direction is rotatably supported around an axis in the vertical direction. The other end of the second link plate L2 in the longitudinal direction is connected to the support column 6.

Therefore, with the door 10A opened and the wind turbine 1 held along the inside of the door 10A taken out of the container, the bolts are removed from the fixing fittings 86 (Fig. 75), as shown in Fig. 77. The link mechanism 68 changes the position of the windmill 1 from the inside of the door 10A to a position further away from the inside of the door 10A, in the example shown in FIG. 77, to one end of the container 2 in the longitudinal direction. This makes it possible to move the wind turbine 1 to a desired installation location and fix it with the bolts without having to lower the wind turbine 1 from the door 10A.

71 and 72 show an embodiment of a container-housed hydroelectric power generation device. This container-housed hydroelectric power generation device includes a container 2 having a standard size for transporting cargo, and a plurality of small hydropower generation devices 60 that can be installed in a waterway and can be stored in and taken out from the container 2. Each small hydroelectric power generation device 60 is housed in a container 2 together with a transportation jig 64.
For example, as shown in FIG. 72, the small hydroelectric power generation device 60 includes a pair of bases 61, 61 installed on the walls of the waterway on both sides of a waterway (not shown), a water wheel 62, and a water wheel 62 that is held by the water wheel 62. The rotating frame 63 is vertically rotatably supported by the pair of bases 61, 61, and a generator 59 that generates electricity by rotating the water wheel 62. The rotating frame 63 is rotatable between a usage position in which the water wheel 62 is immersed below the water surface in the waterway and a raised position in which it waits on the water surface.
According to the hydroelectric power generation device having this configuration, since the small hydropower generation device is housed in a container with standard dimensions, it is excellent in transportability.
