Definitions
- the invention relates to a hydroelectric power plant or a wind or tidal power plant or other power generator with propeller, with a water turbine and an electric machine, in particular an electric motor. These two components are housed in a housing. This is the energy
- An energy unit comprising a water turbine and an electric generator is arranged, for example, in a tubular turbine. Also, the arrangement in the sea into consideration, to use the energy of ocean currents, for example, as a tidal power plant.
- the energy unit is enclosed by a gondola-shaped housing.
- the turbine is sort of like
- the impeller blades are adjustable, that is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the individual blades by a certain angle.
- the blade pitch is dependent on certain
- GB 2 431 207 B describes a current power plant comprising a nacelle carrying the energy unit, remote from a pillar which is perpendicularly established in the seabed. Both components, gondola and pillar, are hinged together. The nacelle can be swiveled in one direction or the other, depending on whether the tide is high or low.
- the flowing water acts on the blades and generates a torque that is transmitted from a central shaft within the nacelle to the nacelle
- Blades are also located inside the housing on or in the rotating part. It includes a shifting mechanism that is straightforward Movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the energy unit performs. The straight-line movement is converted into a turning or pivoting movement of the
- the adjusting device is expensive in construction. The installation and removal is time consuming. Repair and maintenance are difficult.
- the invention has for its object to make a flow or hydroelectric power plant according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the means for adjusting the impeller blades is inexpensive to produce, easily accessible and less prone to failure.
- the basic idea is to remove the adjusting device from the housing and to arrange it outside the housing. It is thus outside the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing or a housing part.
- the adjusting device comprises one of the number of
- Blades are the same number of slides, each of which makes a movement parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine while engaging one of the blades.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment according to the invention in elevation.
- FIG. 2 shows the object of FIG. 1 in a sectional view according to FIG
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows an adjusting device with an adjusting ring with slides. shows a schematic representation of an energy unit with turbine and
- FIG. 1 shows a turbine 1 with turbine blades 1.1 and a hub 1.2.
- the blades 1.1 are supported by the hub 1.2.
- the hub is mounted inside a housing 2.
- the housing contains i.a. a generator not shown here.
- the hub 1.2 shows an adjusting 3. This is arranged coaxially to the hub 1.2 and surrounds them. It is non-rotatable with this, but can slide on the hub 1.2 in the direction of the axis of rotation 1.3 of the turbine.
- the adjusting ring 3 are associated with slide 4, namely the same number as blades are present. Adjusting ring 3 and slide 4 together form the adjusting device.
- the slides 4 are rod-shaped. At one end of each slider, the adjusting ring 3 engages, and at the other end, the slider engages in turn on a blade. Adjustment ring 3 and slide 4 are rotationally fixed to the hub 1.2 and thus run together. The point 5 of a slider 4 on the blade 1.1 can be seen in FIG.
- the turbine is essentially designed according to the Kaplan principle.
- the turbine blade 1.1 has a blade journal 1.4. This has a toothed ring 1.5, which the
- Bucket 1.4 surrounds.
- Figure 4 shows the adjusting device with the adjusting ring 3 in settlement.
- the adjusting ring 3 carries in the present case three slides 4 - equal to the number of blades 1.1.
- the slides 4 are designed in their end regions as racks.
- the racks comb in the assembled state with the toothed ring 1.5.
- the article according to FIG. 5 belongs to the state of the art. It relates to a Kaplan turbine 1 with a number of turbine blades 1.1 and a hub 1.2.
- the turbine blades 1.1 are adjustable.
- a bevel gear 6 transmits the torque generated by the turbine 1 to a generator. 7
- An adjusting device comprises a push rod 4. This is by a
- Hollow shaft 8 passed. The adjustment takes place inside the hub 1.2, thus in the rotating part.
- the number of slides 4 may also differ from the number of blades 1.1.
