The flight linear body 110 is filled with a gas (eg, helium) having a specific gravity lower than that of air. As is well known to those skilled in the art, an airship is filled with hydrogen (currently hydrogen is not used due to danger) or helium inside, the outer surface being formed of a polyester resin. In front of and inside the airship, an air bag called a 'baronet' is inserted separately to adjust the buoyancy and center by adjusting the amount of air. Body 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is also formed in the same way as the body of a general airship, it should be noted that the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration.

The left wing 120 is coupled to the left side of the main body 110, and the right wing 130 is coupled to the right side. In addition, the vertical wing 118 and the horizontal wing 116 are coupled to the rear to adjust the posture of the main body 110. In particular, the vertical wing 118 is operated by the vertical wing control motor 180 operated by the controller 178 to be described later, to help the direction of the main body 110 can be rotated in the windy direction.

In addition, the lower wind power generator 114 is coupled to the lower portion of the main body 110, the left wind power generator 124 is coupled to the left wing 120, and the right wind power generator 134 is coupled to the right wing 130. The wind turbines 114, 124 and 134 constitute the wind turbine 172 shown in FIG. 4, and produce electric power by Fleming's right hand law according to the rotation of the blades installed in front.

In addition, the upper portion of the main body 110, the upper solar power generation unit 112, the left wing 120, the left wing solar power generation unit 122, and the right wing 130 is coupled to the right wing solar power generation unit 132. The solar power generating units 112, 122, and 132 constitute the solar power generating unit 170 shown in FIG. 4, and are coupled to face the sky to produce power by the photovoltaic effect.

Power produced by the wind power generation unit 172 and the solar power generation unit 170 is transmitted to the ground through the power generation cable 160. Here, it should be noted that the power generation cable 160 not only carries production power, but also transmits a state signal of the power generation device 100 to the ground and also transmits a ground control signal to the power generation device 100.

In addition, the front light 101 in front of the main body 110, the left wing light 103 at the end of the left wing 120, the right wing 104 at the end of the right wing 130, and the vertical wing 114 The upper light 102 is installed at the top of the. The lights 101, 102, 103, and 104 constitute the light unit 182 shown in FIG. 4, and are lit at predetermined time intervals at night, thereby identifying the mechanical generator 100 in a plane and colliding the plane with the generator 100. At the same time to prevent accidents, it is possible to measure the position of the mechanical power generation device 100 on the ground. The lights emit light of different colors so that the ground observer can check the attitude of the power generation device 100.

Fixing cable 150 is coupled to the front and rear of the main body 110, the ends of the left wing 120 and the right wing 130, respectively, and fastening means such as a fixing ring 152 at the other end of each fixing cable 150 To perform the function of fixing the power generation device 100 to the ground.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, a wind vane 174 may be installed at a predetermined position of the main body 110 to measure the direction of the wind. The wind direction information measured by the wind vane 174 is transmitted to the controller 178.

Reference numeral 176 denotes a 'meter', and measures the amount of power produced by the solar power generation unit 170 and the wind power generation unit 172.

(Use example)

First, the assembly of the power generation device 100 will be described. Since the main body 110 is formed of a polyester resin, the main body 110 can be moved in a folded state. The wind turbines can be disassembled and moved into blades and generators. As described above, since the power generation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be moved without a large building transportation means, the power generation device 100 can be used without being equipped with road facilities for construction or after-care of the power generation device 100. .

Thereafter, after fixing the power generation device 100 to the ground using the fixing ring 152 on the ground, helium gas is filled in the main body 110. As long as the fixing ring 152 can be connected, since the power generation device 100 can be installed, it can be used not only on the ground but also on the island. That is, by using the fixed ring 152 connected to the coastal reef or by installing the fixed ring 152 on the barge (Barge- 船), it is possible to use the power generator 100. As a result, the power generation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has no restriction on the installation location.

As the helium gas is filled in the main body 110, the power generation device 100 is raised to a predetermined altitude. As is well known, the higher the altitude, the higher the wind speed, the higher the power generation efficiency, and because there is no obstruction of sunlight by the surrounding facilities, the power generation efficiency of the solar power generation unit 170 also increases. In addition, since the power generation device 100 is located at a high altitude, it may further serve as a relay station for telephony communication and / or broadcast communication.

Thereafter, the controller 178 receives the wind direction information from the wind vane 174, measures the wind direction, and then operates the vertical wing control motor 180 to adjust the vertical wing 118. As a result, the main body 110 faces the wind blowing direction, and thus the power generation efficiency of the wind power generator 172 is increased.

In addition, the power produced by the wind power generation unit 172 and the solar power generation unit 170 is transmitted to the power generation meter 176, it is possible to measure the power generation amount and the operating efficiency of the power generation device 100.

In addition, the controller 178 calculates the amount of power produced by the solar power generation unit 170, and when the amount of generated power is low, determines that the surroundings are dark to operate the light unit 182. As a result, the manager of the power generation apparatus 100 may check the light unit 182 to check the direction of the main body 110 even in a dark state.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it is to be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and that various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and spirit of the appended claims as necessary.

For example, although the present embodiment has been described as connecting the power generation cable through a fixed cable, the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and a helium gas transmission tube may be further coupled and used through the fixed cable. By further coupling the helium gas transmission tube as described above, when the helium gas filled inside the main body 110 leaks out for a specific reason little by little, the altitude of the power generation device 100 is lowered. The additional supply of helium gas can maintain the altitude of the power generation device 100 at a constant level.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to install the power generation device by fixing only the fixing ring, thereby providing a power generation device with less restrictions on the place.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a power generation device that can be installed in a mountain area or an island area in which transportation facilities are poor due to easy movement and installation of the power generation device components.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a power generation device that can be installed in the air by using a large blade.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a power generation device that is installed in the air can reduce the influence of noise generated in the power generation unit.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a power generation device capable of simultaneously performing wind power generation and solar power generation by combining the solar power generation unit on the body surface.

In addition, according to the present invention, by being configured to turn on the light at a predetermined time interval, by identifying the mechanical generator in the plane to prevent the collision between the airplane and the power generator, while at the same time the position of the mechanical generator in the ground It can be measured.
