Abstract

PURPOSE:To reliably convert the energy of a low-speed fluid into electrical energy by connecting a float to the free end of a flexible Karman rope connected to the rotary section of a power generator and transmitting the rotating force. CONSTITUTION:A float 4 and the rotary shaft 2a of a power generator 2 are connected respectively to the upper end and the lower end of a flexible Karman rope 3 made of a wire rope or the like. Accordingly, when sea water flows into a base body 1, the flexible Karman rope is curvedly displaced, and a Karman vortex is generated at its downstream side. The Karman rope is reciprocated within a predetermined angle range, thus the rotary shaft of the power generator is rotated to the left or right by receiving the rotating force of this rope to generate power.

As shown in Figure 5, there is already a system in which a power generating IC with a propeller b is fixed inside a frame body a, as shown in Figure 5, in order to generate electricity using ocean currents. It is used.

However, when the ocean current e is directed perpendicularly to the propeller b, as shown by the arrow, the propeller b is sufficiently
can rotate and obtain the desired electric power, but if the direction of the ocean current e changes, the output of the generator will suddenly decrease, and as a result, sufficient electric power will not be obtained. However, there was a flaw in that its use was limited by itself.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, a rudder f is attached to the frame a,
It may be possible to support this on a rotary base g so that it can rotate freely, so that it can follow changes in the direction of the ocean current e, but since the rotary base g is subject to a large load including the heavy generator C. , The multiple movements of the head to change direction became unsmooth, and the direction could not be changed in low-speed ocean currents.Not only was there a problem with the durability of the rotating parts, but propeller b was rotated by fluid. Since it is a mechanism, it basically has a defect that if the current speed of the ocean current e is low, the propeller C will not rotate and the electrical output will become zero.

In view of the drawbacks of the conventional propeller-type power generation device, the present invention provides a configuration that can effectively utilize the phenomenon of Karman vortex generation in fluid, thereby reliably converting the energy of low-speed fluid into electrical energy. The Karman rotating section smoothly follows the change in direction of the fluid to ensure reciprocating motion of the Karman rotating section even when the fluid is flowing from any direction, thereby ensuring the reciprocating motion of the Karman rotating section at minute flow velocities.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a visible Karman rope 3 made of wire rope or the like is prepared, and a float 4 and the above-mentioned rotating shaft 2a are connected to the upper and lower ends of the rope 3, respectively. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a connecting rod 5a is connected to the lower end of the rope 3 so that the rope 3 can bend freely and transmit rotational force to the rotating shaft 2a. A suitable universal joint 5 is constructed using the portion 5a, and the rope 3 and the rotating shaft 2a are connected via the joint 6, that is, the universal joint.

The movement of the Karmann rope 3 can be transmitted as the rotational force of the rotating shaft 2a, and the rope 3 can also be freely deformed.

When the above-mentioned device is placed in the sea as shown in Figure 1, the flexible Karman rope 3 will be moved vertically due to the buoyancy of the float 4, as shown by the imaginary line in the figure when there is no ocean current. However, when liquid A such as seawater is flowing in the direction of the arrow in Figure 2 of Oni 1, the flexible Karman rope 3 curves toward the downstream side as shown by the solid line. As the rope 3 shifts, a known Karman vortex is generated on the downstream side of the rope 3 at predetermined intervals as shown in FIG. It will reciprocate within the rotation angle range, so the rotating shaft 2a will be rotated left and right by the rotational force of the rope 3.
As a result, the rotating part of the generator 2 is rotated to the left and to the right, so that corresponding electric power is obtained at the output terminal of the generator 2.

Since the present invention can be realized as in the above-described embodiments and configured as described above, even with the kinetic energy of the liquid at a low flow rate, the flexible Karman rope 3 can be efficiently reciprocated by the Karman vortex. Since it can be moved, it is not only possible to generate a considerable amount of power even with minute flow velocities, but also because it can move freely to follow the change in direction of the liquid flow, it can be easily adjusted to any change in flow direction. Following this, the maximum power generation output can always be obtained, and the generator is fixed at a suitable location on the base 1, so that its load does not affect the reciprocating movement of the Power Le Man Rogue 3. It is excellent in terms of power generation efficiency and durability, and furthermore, according to the present invention, since the flexible Karman rope 3 is connected between the float 4 and the rotating part of the generator 2, the length of the rope 3 is It is also possible to freely adjust the power generation capacity by adjusting the amount as appropriate.
