 ところで、上述の風力発電装置は、直接、換気、暖房、冷房、加湿等に風力を使うのではなく、風力を電力に変換した後に、電力を用いて空調装置を作動させている。これにより、風力から電力への変換と、電力を用いた送風や温度制御によるエネルギ損失が問題となる。再生エネルギのさらなる有効利用が求められる。 By the way, the wind power generator described above does not directly use wind power for ventilation, heating, cooling, humidification, or the like, but operates the air conditioner using the power after converting the wind power into power. Thereby, the conversion from wind power to electric power, and the energy loss due to air blowing using electric power and temperature control become problems. Further effective utilization of regenerative energy is required.
 本発明は前記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、風力を駆動源とすることにより、低コストで送風による換気や温度制御が可能な空調装置を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of ventilation and temperature control by blowing air at low cost by using wind power as a drive source.

In order to achieve the above object, an air conditioner according to the present invention includes a driving impeller rotated by wind power,
A driven impeller that rotates by transmitting rotation of the driving impeller;
A casing covering the driven impeller;
A suction pipe for feeding air sucked into the center side of the driven impeller into the casing;
A discharge part that is provided in the casing and discharges air pushed out by centrifugal force to the outer peripheral side after being sucked in at the center side of the driven impeller;
A heat exchanger provided on the air inlet side of the suction pipe;

 このような構成によれば、風力で駆動羽根車、すなわち、風車を回転させ、この駆動羽根車の回転を空調装置で用いられる従動羽根車に伝達し、遠心力により空気を吸い込んで、外側に吐出するようになっている。したがって、空気の送風等に、風力を電力に変換することなく風力を直接的に利用することができ、効率的に風力を利用し、動力にかかるコストの低減を図ることができる。また、電力が供給されていない場所で、空調装置を利用可能となる。これらの場合に、直接自然の風を利用するのではなく、風の力を風車により回転運動エネルギに変換した後に遠心圧縮機や遠心送風機により空気の圧縮や送風に利用しているので、例えば、風の強弱の変化に対して、送風量を安定させることが可能であり、自然の風より有効に利用できる。また、熱交換器による空気の温度調整が可能である。 According to such a configuration, the driving impeller, that is, the windmill is rotated by wind power, the rotation of the driving impeller is transmitted to the driven impeller used in the air conditioner, the air is sucked in by centrifugal force, and the outside It is designed to discharge. Therefore, it is possible to directly use wind power for air blowing or the like without converting the wind power into electric power, and efficiently use the wind power to reduce the cost of power. Further, the air conditioner can be used in a place where power is not supplied. In these cases, instead of directly using natural wind, the wind force is converted into rotational kinetic energy by the windmill and then used for compressing or blowing air by a centrifugal compressor or centrifugal blower. The amount of air flow can be stabilized against changes in the strength of the wind, and can be used more effectively than natural wind. Moreover, the temperature of the air can be adjusted by a heat exchanger.

Sufficient ventilation and air compression are possible. Further, since the rotation of the driving impeller that is a windmill is transmitted to the driven impeller of the centrifugal blower or the centrifugal compressor that is coaxial with the driving impeller, the driven impeller is within the diameter range of the driving impeller. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire apparatus.
 また、本発明の前記構成において、前記吸込管は、前記流入口側が分岐することにより、2つ以上の前記流入口が設けられるとともに、空気が流入する前記流入口を切り替える切替手段を備え、一方の前記流入口に前記熱交換器を通過した空気が流入し、

It is preferable that a part of the air toward the drive impeller flows into the other inlet.
 このような構成によれば、例えば、気温が適温で温度調整を必要としない場合に、熱交換器を通すことなく、駆動羽根車に向かう空気が取り入れられるので、空気を取り入れる際に空気に対する抵抗が少なく、効率的に風を取り入れて送風の効率を高めることができる。 According to such a configuration, for example, when the air temperature is appropriate and temperature adjustment is not required, the air toward the drive impeller is taken in without passing through the heat exchanger.

The rotational speed of the drive impeller 4, the rotation shaft 5 provided coaxially with the drive impeller 4, the driven impeller 51 rotating integrally with the rotation shaft 5, and the rotation of the drive impeller 4. The speed-up gear 7 that transmits to the rotating shaft 5 at high speed, the scroll casing 6 (discharge portion) that covers the outer peripheral side of the driven impeller 51, and the rotation center side of the driven impeller of the scroll casing 6, that is, the central side A suction pipe 24 to be connected; a branch pipe 25 branched from the suction pipe 24; the heat exchanger 10 provided at the tip of the branch pipe 25; a hot water solar panel 11; and a hot water tank 16; And a cold water tank 17.
 図1~図4に示すように、枠体2は、8つの角部(接続部)にそれぞれ構造材用継手21が配置されるとともに、これら構造材用継手21によって複数の四角筒状の構造材22が直方体状に接続されることによって組み立てられている。構造材用継手21は、構造材22の端部を挿入固定可能な3本の継手部材を備えている。各継手部材は正四角筒状に形成されており、それらの基端部は例えば溶接や接着等によって互いに結合されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the frame body 2 has structural member joints 21 arranged at eight corner portions (connection portions), respectively, and a plurality of rectangular tubular structures are formed by the structural member joints 21. The material 22 is assembled by being connected in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The structural material joint 21 includes three joint members that can insert and fix the end of the structural material 22. Each joint member is formed in the shape of a regular square cylinder, and the base end portions thereof are coupled to each other by, for example, welding or adhesion.
 筒状体3は円筒状に形成されており、その軸方向の長さは枠体2の前後に延びる辺とほぼ等しくなっている。また、筒状体3の直径は枠体2の上下に延びる辺および左右に延びる辺とほぼ等しくなっている。したがって、筒状体3は枠体2の内部ほぼ一杯に設けられている。また、筒状体3の前後の開口は、枠体2の前後の面(正面と背面)とほぼ等しい位置に配置されている。
 枠体2にはその内部に向けて斜め方向の延びる4本の固定棒47が設けられており、これら固定棒47の一端部は構造材22に固定されている。固定棒47は筒状体3に形成された貫通孔を貫通しており、その他端部は後述する固定部46に固定されている。また、固定棒47には、筒状体3の貫通孔およびその近傍が固定されており、これによって、筒状体3は固定棒47によって支持されて枠体2の内部に設けられている。
The cylindrical body 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and its axial length is substantially equal to the side extending in the front-rear direction of the frame body 2. The diameter of the cylindrical body 3 is substantially equal to the side extending vertically and the side extending left and right of the frame 2. Therefore, the cylindrical body 3 is provided almost completely inside the frame body 2. In addition, the front and rear openings of the cylindrical body 3 are arranged at substantially the same positions as the front and rear surfaces (front and back) of the frame body 2.
The frame 2 is provided with four fixing rods 47 extending in an oblique direction toward the inside thereof, and one end portions of the fixing rods 47 are fixed to the structural member 22. The fixing rod 47 passes through a through-hole formed in the cylindrical body 3, and the other end is fixed to a fixing portion 46 described later. Further, the through-hole of the cylindrical body 3 and the vicinity thereof are fixed to the fixing rod 47, whereby the cylindrical body 3 is supported by the fixing rod 47 and provided inside the frame body 2.
 筒状体3の前側(正面側)の開口部には集風部12が設けられている。この集風部12は、ラッパ状に形成されており、筒状体3側ほど小径となるようにその内径が小さくなっている。したがって、集風部12は前側の開口12aから後側の開口12bに向かうほど流路断面積が小さくなっている。後側の開口12bの径は筒状体3の径とほぼ等しくなっており、開口12bが筒状体3の前側の開口に接続されている。 A wind collecting portion 12 is provided at an opening on the front side (front side) of the cylindrical body 3. The air collecting portion 12 is formed in a trumpet shape, and its inner diameter is small so that the diameter becomes smaller toward the cylindrical body 3 side. Therefore, the air flow collecting portion 12 has a smaller flow path cross-sectional area from the front opening 12a toward the rear opening 12b. The diameter of the rear opening 12 b is substantially equal to the diameter of the cylindrical body 3, and the opening 12 b is connected to the front opening of the cylindrical body 3.
 図3、図4等に示すように、駆動羽根車4は、円筒状の回転部材41と、この回転部材41に設けられた取付部42と、この取付部42に基部が取り付けられた複数の羽根43とを備えている。
 図11、図12に示すように、回転部材41の内側には円筒状のケーシング(固定部材)45が設けられている。このケーシング45の前側の端部は、円盤状の固定部46に固定されている。図3に示すように、この固定部46は前記枠体2に斜めに設けられた固定棒47に固定されている。固定棒47は、図7、図9、図10に示すように、筒状体3に形成された貫通孔を貫通しており、当該固定棒47の先端部(他端部)に固定部46が固定されている。
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drive impeller 4 includes a cylindrical rotating member 41, a mounting portion 42 provided on the rotating member 41, and a plurality of base portions attached to the mounting portion 42. And blades 43.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a cylindrical casing (fixing member) 45 is provided inside the rotating member 41. The front end portion of the casing 45 is fixed to a disk-shaped fixing portion 46. As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing portion 46 is fixed to a fixing rod 47 provided obliquely on the frame body 2. As shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 10, the fixing rod 47 passes through a through-hole formed in the cylindrical body 3, and the fixing portion 46 is attached to the distal end portion (the other end portion) of the fixing rod 47. Is fixed.
 また、図11、図12に示すように、ケーシング45と回転部材41との間には軸受48,48が回転部材41の軸方向に所定間隔をもって設けられており、当該軸受48,48によって、回転部材41はケーシング45に支持された状態で軸回りに回転可能となっている。
 また、ケーシング45の径方向中央部には、駆動羽根車4と同軸に設けられた回転軸5が軸回りに回転可能に設けられている。回転軸5の前側の端部は固定部46を貫通して前側に延出している。回転軸5の前側の端部に従動羽根車51が設けられている。
 一方、回転軸5の後側の端部はケーシング45から突出している。この回転軸5の後側の端部に増速機7の後述するサンギア72が取り付けられている。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, bearings 48, 48 are provided between the casing 45 and the rotating member 41 at a predetermined interval in the axial direction of the rotating member 41. With the bearings 48, 48, The rotating member 41 is rotatable about an axis while being supported by the casing 45.
A rotating shaft 5 provided coaxially with the driving impeller 4 is provided at the central portion in the radial direction of the casing 45 so as to be rotatable about the axis. The front end of the rotating shaft 5 extends through the fixed portion 46 to the front side. A driven impeller 51 is provided at the front end of the rotating shaft 5.
On the other hand, the rear end of the rotating shaft 5 protrudes from the casing 45. A sun gear 72 (described later) of the speed increaser 7 is attached to the rear end of the rotating shaft 5.
 また、図2、図4、図8、図12に示すようにケーシング45の後端面には、駆動羽根車4の回転をその回転速度を増速して回転軸5に伝達する増速機7としての遊星歯車機構が設けられている。
 すなわち、増速機7は、リングギア71と、このリングギア71の回転中心に設けられたサンギア72と、複数(例えば、5個)のプラネタリギア73とを備えている。なお、リングギア71およびサンギア72の回転中心は回転軸5の回転中心と一致している。
 リングギア71の外周部にはフランジ部が形成されており、このフランジ部が回転部材41の上端部に固定されている。したがって、駆動羽根車4が回転すると、これに伴って回転部材41が回転し、この回転部材41が回転することにより、リングギア71が回転するようになっている。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 8, and 12, on the rear end surface of the casing 45, a speed increaser 7 that transmits the rotation of the driving impeller 4 to the rotating shaft 5 while increasing the rotational speed. A planetary gear mechanism is provided.
That is, the speed increaser 7 includes a ring gear 71, a sun gear 72 provided at the rotation center of the ring gear 71, and a plurality (for example, five) of planetary gears 73. Note that the rotation centers of the ring gear 71 and the sun gear 72 coincide with the rotation center of the rotary shaft 5.
A flange portion is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the ring gear 71, and this flange portion is fixed to the upper end portion of the rotating member 41. Therefore, when the driving impeller 4 rotates, the rotating member 41 rotates along with this, and the rotating gear 41 rotates, whereby the ring gear 71 rotates.
 また、回転軸5の後側の端部はサンギア72に挿入されて固定されており、サンギア72が回転することによって回転軸5が回転するようになっている。
 さらに、プラネタリギア73は、リングギア71およびサンギア72に噛合しており、リングギア71が回転することによって、自転しつつサンギア72の周囲を公転するようになっている。したがって、リングギア71が回転すると、プラネタリギア73がリングギア71の内側を自転しながら公転して回転移動し、これによってサンギア72が軸回りに回転するようになっている。
Further, the rear end portion of the rotating shaft 5 is inserted and fixed to the sun gear 72, and the rotating shaft 5 is rotated when the sun gear 72 rotates.
Further, the planetary gear 73 meshes with the ring gear 71 and the sun gear 72, and the ring gear 71 rotates to revolve around the sun gear 72 while rotating. Accordingly, when the ring gear 71 rotates, the planetary gear 73 revolves and rotates while rotating inside the ring gear 71, whereby the sun gear 72 rotates about the axis.
 そして、リングギア71が駆動羽根車4によって1回転すると、サンギア72が10回転するように、リングギア71、プラネタリギア73およびサンギア72の歯数や径が設定されている。したがって、このような増速機7では、駆動羽根車4の回転速度を10倍に増速してサンギア72が回転し、この回転によって回転軸5が駆動羽根車4より10倍の回転速度で回転するようになっている。 And the number of teeth and the diameter of the ring gear 71, the planetary gear 73, and the sun gear 72 are set so that when the ring gear 71 rotates once by the driving impeller 4, the sun gear 72 rotates ten times. Therefore, in such a speed increaser 7, the rotational speed of the driving impeller 4 is increased 10 times and the sun gear 72 rotates, and this rotation causes the rotating shaft 5 to rotate at a rotational speed 10 times that of the driving impeller 4. It is designed to rotate.
 また、図11、図12に示すように、駆動羽根車4の内側にはケーシング(固定部材)45が設けられており、このケーシング45の外周面に円筒状のコイル8が固定され、一方、駆動羽根車4の回転部材41の内周面に永久磁石9がコイル8との間に所定の間隔をもって固定されている。
 そして、コイル8と永久磁石9との協働によって発電され、発電された電気はバッテリーに蓄電されたり、直接使用されたりするようになっている。

A branch pipe 25 is disposed in the box 14 of the heat exchanger 10 so as to penetrate the bottom of the box 14, and a suction port of the branch pipe 25 is disposed at a height position of the heat exchange section 15.
 気温が低い場合には、切替板55を、吸込管24を閉塞して分岐管25を開放する状態とし、複数のノズル18から熱交換部15に温水タンク16の温水用ソーラパネル11で暖められた温水を噴霧や噴射等により供給して熱交換部15を加温し、この熱交換部15を通過して温まった空気が分岐管25から吸込管24を介して遠心送風機(遠心圧縮機)に吸い込まれた後に、吐出部としてのスクロールケーシング6から通風管に送られる。通風管に送られた暖められた空気は、部屋の暖房と、空気の入れ替えに用いられる。 When the air temperature is low, the switching plate 55 is put into a state in which the suction pipe 24 is closed and the branch pipe 25 is opened, and is heated by the hot water solar panel 11 of the hot water tank 16 from the plurality of nozzles 18 to the heat exchange unit 15. Hot water is supplied by spraying or jetting to heat the heat exchanging unit 15, and the air that has passed through the heat exchanging unit 15 is warmed from the branch pipe 25 through the suction pipe 24 to the centrifugal blower (centrifugal compressor). After being sucked in, it is sent from the scroll casing 6 as a discharge part to the ventilation pipe. The warmed air sent to the ventilation pipe is used for room heating and air replacement.
 気温が高い場合には、切替板55を、吸込管24を閉塞して分岐管25を開放する状態とし、ノズル18から熱交換部15に冷水タンク17の冷水が噴射等により供給されて熱交換部15が冷却され、この熱交換部15を通過して冷えた空気が分岐管25から吸込管24を介して遠心送風機(遠心圧縮機)に吸い込まれた後に、吐出部としてのスクロールケーシング6から通風管に送られる。通風管に送られた冷えた空気は、部屋の冷房と、空気の入れ替えに用いられる。 When the temperature is high, the switching plate 55 is put into a state in which the suction pipe 24 is closed and the branch pipe 25 is opened, and the cold water in the cold water tank 17 is supplied from the nozzle 18 to the heat exchanging section 15 by jetting or the like.

 気温が高くも低くもなく過ごし易い温度の場合には、切替板55を、分岐管25を閉塞して吸込管24を開放する状態とし、外気をそのまま取り入れて、部屋の空気の入れ替えを行う。このように遠心型流体機械に吸い込む空気の温度制御を行うことにより、温度制御が可能な空調装置として利用することができる。なお、強制的に屋内に空気を導入することで、屋内の匂いを解消することができる。なお、吸込管24を延長して屋内に配置し、屋内のトイレ等の空気を排出するものとしてもよい。 When the temperature is not too high or low, the switching plate 55 is in a state in which the branch pipe 25 is closed and the suction pipe 24 is opened, and the outside air is taken in as it is to replace the room air. Thus, by controlling the temperature of the air sucked into the centrifugal fluid machine, it can be used as an air conditioner capable of temperature control. It should be noted that the odor in the room can be eliminated by forcibly introducing air into the room. The suction pipe 24 may be extended and disposed indoors to discharge air from an indoor toilet or the like.
 切替板55は、モータ56により、吸込管24を閉じて、分岐管25を開放する状態と、分岐管25を閉じて吸込管24を開放する状態とに、回転移動するが、図示しない制御装置により、設定された上限温度以上の場合または設定された下限温度以下の場合に、切替板55を、吸込管24を閉じて、分岐管25を開放する状態とし、上限温度以下で下限温度以上の場合に、分岐管25を閉じて吸込管24を開放する状態としてもよい。また、制御装置により、上限温度以上の場合に、冷水タンク17からノズル18に冷水を供給し、下限温度以下の場合に温水タンク16からノズル18に温水を供給するように、弁やポンプ等を制御するものとしてもよい。 The switching plate 55 is rotated by a motor 56 between a state in which the suction pipe 24 is closed and the branch pipe 25 is opened, and a state in which the branch pipe 25 is closed and the suction pipe 24 is opened. Therefore, when the temperature is equal to or higher than the set upper limit temperature or lower than the set lower limit temperature, the switching plate 55 is brought into a state in which the suction pipe 24 is closed and the branch pipe 25 is opened. In some cases, the branch pipe 25 may be closed and the suction pipe 24 may be opened. In addition, a valve or a pump is supplied by the control device so that cold water is supplied from the cold water tank 17 to the nozzle 18 when the temperature is equal to or higher than the upper limit temperature, and hot water is supplied from the hot water tank 16 to the nozzle 18 when the temperature is lower than the lower limit temperature. It may be controlled.
 このような構成の空調装置1は、例えば建物の屋上等に設置されて使用される。この場合、空調装置1の集風部12を風上側に向けて設置される。
 風が集風部12の前側の開口12aから流入すると、集風部12は後側の開口12bに向かうほど流路断面積が小さくなっているので、当該風が絞られて流速が速められたうえで、集風部12から筒状体3に流入する。
The air conditioner 1 having such a configuration is installed and used, for example, on the rooftop of a building. In this case, the air collecting unit 12 of the air conditioner 1 is installed facing the windward side.
When the wind flows in from the front opening 12a of the air collecting portion 12, the flow collecting section 12 has a smaller channel cross-sectional area toward the rear opening 12b, so that the air is throttled and the flow velocity is increased. In addition, the air flows into the cylindrical body 3 from the air collecting portion 12.
 筒状体3に風が流入すると、この風によって筒状体3の内部の駆動羽根車4が回転する。そして、この駆動羽根車4の回転速度が増速機(遊星歯車機構)7によって増速されて回転軸5に伝達される。
 回転軸5が回転すると、従動羽根車51が回転し、遠心送風機(遠心圧縮機)としての遠心型流体機械により、吐出部となるスクロールケーシング6に接続された通風管から空気が吐出される。なお、従動羽根車51から遠心力で外側に押し出された空気は、従動羽根車51からスクロールケーシング6に至る空気の流路に設けられたディフューザにより圧縮されて吐出されることになる。本実施の形態では、空調装置1の送風に遠心型流体機械を用いているが、単なる送風ではなく、圧縮された空気を供給する装置としても利用可能である。送風や圧縮の動力は風力であり、運転コストの低減を図ることができる。また、圧縮空気を空調装置1で利用する場合に、圧縮空気を空気タンク等に貯めてから空調に利用するようにしてもよい。この場合に、風の強弱の変化に影響されずに、空調用の送風を行うことが可能となる。この場合に熱交換器10は、空気タンクから空気を供給して温度制御することが好ましい。
When wind flows into the cylindrical body 3, the driving impeller 4 inside the cylindrical body 3 is rotated by this wind. The rotational speed of the drive impeller 4 is increased by a speed increaser (planetary gear mechanism) 7 and transmitted to the rotary shaft 5.
When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the driven impeller 51 rotates, and air is discharged from the ventilation pipe connected to the scroll casing 6 serving as a discharge portion by a centrifugal fluid machine as a centrifugal blower (centrifugal compressor). The air pushed out from the driven impeller 51 by centrifugal force is compressed and discharged by a diffuser provided in the air flow path from the driven impeller 51 to the scroll casing 6. In the present embodiment, the centrifugal fluid machine is used for blowing air from the air conditioner 1. However, the centrifugal fluid machine can be used as a device for supplying compressed air instead of simply blowing. The power of blowing and compression is wind power, and the operation cost can be reduced. Further, when compressed air is used in the air conditioner 1, the compressed air may be stored in an air tank or the like and then used for air conditioning. In this case, it is possible to blow air for air conditioning without being affected by changes in wind strength. In this case, it is preferable that the heat exchanger 10 controls the temperature by supplying air from an air tank.

That is, it can be used for blowing and air compression without requiring power supply equipment. When compressing air with a centrifugal fluid machine, the compressed air can be used as a power source for power generators and other mechanical devices, or for oxygen concentrators using compressed air and zeolite. it can. When using compressed air as a power source, for example, the engine may be operated by filling the high pressure tank with compressed air and supplying the compressed air from the high pressure tank to the cylinder of the engine.
 さらに、筒状体3に、当該筒状体3の内部に風を集風して導入する集風部12が設けられており、自然の風を集風部12によって効率的に集風して筒状体3の内部に導入することができるので、駆動羽根車4を効率的に回転させて、圧縮空気を得ることができる。また、遠心型流体機械は、従動羽根車51を回転させることにより、送風や空気の圧縮を行うので、駆動羽根車4の回転を効率的に利用できる。 Further, the cylindrical body 3 is provided with a wind collecting portion 12 that collects and introduces wind into the cylindrical body 3, and efficiently collects natural wind by the wind collecting portion 12. Since it can introduce into the inside of the cylindrical body 3, the drive impeller 4 can be rotated efficiently and compressed air can be obtained. Further, the centrifugal fluid machine rotates the driven impeller 51 so as to blow air and compress air, so that the rotation of the driving impeller 4 can be used efficiently.
 また、増速機7は、遊星歯車機構によって構成され、遊星歯車機構のリングギア71が駆動羽根車4に取り付けられ、サンギア72が回転軸5に取り付けられ、プラネタリギア73がリングギア71およびサンギア72に噛合しているので、リングギア71、プラネタリギア73およびサンギア72の歯数や径を調整することによって、回転軸5の増速量を容易に調整できる。
 加えて、駆動羽根車4の内側にケーシング45が設けられ、駆動羽根車4とケーシングとのうちのいずれか一方に永久磁石9が設けられ、他方にコイル8が永久磁石9と所定の隙間をもって設けられているので、自然の風によって駆動羽根車4が回転することによって、圧縮空気を得ることができるとともに、永久磁石9とコイル8との協働によって発電できる。この場合に、圧縮空気を空気タンクに貯め、電気を蓄電池に貯めることが可能であり、風の有無や強弱に影響されずに利用することが可能である。なお、発電された電気を空調装置1の温度制御として、ヒータやクーラに用いてもよい。また、遠心型流体機械を遠心圧縮機とした場合に、冷媒の圧縮・液化に利用して、クーラに利用してもよい。
The speed increaser 7 is constituted by a planetary gear mechanism, the ring gear 71 of the planetary gear mechanism is attached to the drive impeller 4, the sun gear 72 is attached to the rotating shaft 5, and the planetary gear 73 is connected to the ring gear 71 and the sun gear. 72, the speed increase amount of the rotating shaft 5 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the number of teeth and the diameter of the ring gear 71, the planetary gear 73 and the sun gear 72.
In addition, a casing 45 is provided inside the drive impeller 4, a permanent magnet 9 is provided in one of the drive impeller 4 and the casing, and the coil 8 has a predetermined gap with the permanent magnet 9 on the other. Since the drive impeller 4 is rotated by natural wind, compressed air can be obtained and power can be generated by the cooperation of the permanent magnet 9 and the coil 8. In this case, compressed air can be stored in an air tank and electricity can be stored in a storage battery, and can be used without being affected by the presence or absence of wind or strength. The generated electricity may be used as a temperature control of the air conditioner 1 for a heater or a cooler. Further, when the centrifugal fluid machine is a centrifugal compressor, the centrifugal fluid machine may be used for a cooler by compressing and liquefying a refrigerant.
