That is, the central axis may be configured to be parallel to the moving direction of the fluid.

The wing 130 may be fixedly installed inside the casing 110 , and the wing 130 extending outwardly based on the fixed central axis may be fixed, or the wing 130 extending from the central axis. ) may be configured such that the outermost end is fixed to the inner surface of the casing (110).

Preferably, in consideration of ease of manufacture, generation of vibration and noise, prevention of wear, etc., the outermost end of the wing 130 may be integrally configured in a form fixed to the inner surface of the casing 110 .

The wing 130 may be formed continuously connected from one side to the other side of the casing 110 in the inside of the casing 110 , and may be formed in a spiral structure.

Specifically, the outermost end start point of the wing 130 starting from one side of the casing 110 and the outermost end end point of the wing 130 extending therefrom and ending at the other side of the casing 110 are formed on the same line it may not be

Since the wing 130 is formed extending from one side to the other side of the casing 110 as described above, when the casing 110 is viewed from the side, the form connecting the outermost end of the wing 130 is wavy. can be formed.

The amplitude between the trough and the trough of the waveform may be variously configured, and may be formed at an appropriate level for the maximum application of the rotation of the rotating unit 100 and for convenience in manufacturing.

Bearings 150 to facilitate rotation of the casing 110 may be formed on both sides of the casing 110 .

The casing 110 is configured in a state in which one side is connected to the collecting unit 200 to be described later, and the rotation of the casing 110 is at least relatively to the collecting unit 200 formed to be limited in rotation by providing the bearing 150 . can be achieved by friction of

The bearing 150 may have any shape as long as it can minimize friction with the rotating medium, but in general, it may be provided as a rolling bearing 150, and lubricating oil is introduced therein to minimize the friction. it may be desirable

Additionally, the outer side of the bearing 150 is fixedly formed on the inner surface of the housing 400 to be described later or a fixture at the place where it is installed, and the casing 110 is connected to the bearing 150 and a power generation unit (to be described later on the outer surface) By preventing any contact other than the contact with the 300), the rotation of the casing 110 can be made easily.

A connector 170 capable of transferring the rotational force of the casing 110 to the outside of the casing 110 may be provided on the outer surface of the casing 110 .

The connector 170 may be fixedly formed on the outer surface of the casing 110 , so as to rotate together with the casing 110 to transmit the rotational force of the casing 110 to the outside.

Additionally, the connector 170 may be formed in the form of a gear having a tooth shape, or may be formed in the form of a pulley having grooves, thereby being connected to a gear or a belt with the power generation unit 300 to be described later.

Next, look at the collecting unit 200 .

The collecting unit 200 may serve to easily introduce a fluid supplied from the outside into the rotating unit 100 .

The collecting unit 200 is located on one side of the rotating unit 100 and spaced apart or may be formed in contact, but contact is formed so that the fluid collected by the collecting unit 200 flows into the rotating unit 100 without loss. it may be desirable

When the collecting unit 200 and the rotating unit 100 are in contact with each other, friction between the rotating unit 100 and the rotating unit 100 may be minimized by the bearing 150 of the rotating unit 100 described above.

The collecting unit 200 may be preferably configured in a hopper type having different diameters on both sides in order to easily introduce the supplied fluid into the rotating unit 100 , and the side with a relatively small diameter is the rotating unit 100 . ) may be disposed to be in contact with.

The inner surface of the hopper may be formed as a smooth surface, but it may be possible to form a spiral groove or a spiral inflow path on the inner surface so that the flowing fluid flows into the flow that rotates when the rotating unit 100 is introduced. .

Next, look at the power generation unit 300 .

The power generation unit 300 may be a generic term for receiving the rotational force of the rotating rotating unit 100 and using it to generate electricity.

In general, it can be composed of a generator and an inverter. As described above, the connector 170 and the gear connection or belt connection formed on the rotation unit 100 may generate electricity.

In detail, when the gear is connected, the driven gear 310 having a gear tooth shape suitable for the power generation unit 300 is also configured, and the rotational force can be transmitted by the meshing of the gears. The rotational force may be transmitted by the belt 350 and the driven pulley 330 connected to the 170 .

In the case of gear connection, the power generation unit 300 and the rotating unit 100 should be disposed close to each other.

Additionally, even when the gear is connected, the tooth shape of the gear can be variously configured, for example, by configuring it with a spur gear, a screw gear, a worm gear, a bevel gear, a rack-and-pinion gear, etc., the rotating unit 100 and the power generation unit 300 It may also be possible to flexibly configure the arrangement of

Additionally, a housing 400 having the rotating unit 100 , the collecting unit 200 , and the power generating unit 300 therein may be further provided.

The rotating fixture 500 may be configured with a lower end that is fixedly installed on a structure or a transport device, and an upper end that is connected through a fixed base bearing 510 and is rotatable.

Due to this structure, the housing 400 rotates according to the movement direction of the fluid, and the fluid is vertically incident on the collecting unit 200 or the rotating unit 100 so that maximum fluid inflow is applied, and the power generation efficiency is increased. maximization can be achieved.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the above-described structure.

In the case of a transport device that moves like a vehicle, fluid may be introduced into the front end of the vehicle due to the movement and reaction of the vehicle.

Such a fluid may basically be formed to move to the outer surface of the vehicle by collision with the front end of the vehicle, but some may be introduced into the interior of the vehicle through an inlet formed in the front end surface of the vehicle.

The introduced fluid may be moved to a location where the present invention is installed along a path formed therein.

The introduced fluid is introduced into the rotating unit 100 by the collecting unit 200 . At this time, the inflow speed is remarkably increased due to a reduction in the cross-sectional area for the shape of the collecting unit 200 , and additionally the collecting unit 200 ) may be introduced into the rotating unit 100 in a rotating form due to a helical groove or a helical path formed in the .

The introduced fluid passes through the inside of the rotating unit 100, and causes pressure and lift on the wing 130 of the spiral structure fixed inside the casing 110 of the rotating unit 100 to induce the rotation of the wing 130. do.

Since the wing 130 is fixed to the inside of the casing 110 , the rotation of the wing 130 may be made identical to the rotation of the casing 110 , and annularly attached to the center of the outer surface of the casing 110 . 170 is also rotated, so that the wing 130, the casing 110, and the connector 170 rotate at the same angular velocity.

Since both sides of the casing 110 of the rotating unit 100 are easily rotated by the bearing 150 during rotation, the rotating unit 100 can be easily rotated by minimizing frictional force due to contact.

The connector 170 and the gear-connected or belt-connected power generation unit 300 may transmit the rotational force of the connector 170 and use it to generate power and rectify it by an inverter.
