Abstract

The generation of energy from wind energy close to consumers (residential areas, housing) requires wind turbines which are quick to adjust in the case of wind flows of changeable orientation. Furthermore, in order to not impair the aesthetic in residential areas, these turbines should be able to fold up and even be lowered in the event of there being no wind. The independently variable vane setting of vane pairs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the vertical wind turbine permits rapid adaptation of the vane pairs to the wind direction. This is done by means of the electric actuator (5) that is integrated into each of vane pair and the vane pairs are adjusted independently of one another. In order to fold up the turbine, the rods 6, 7, 8 and 9 are actuated hydraulically or electrically. The stator of the generator 11 is secured to the mast 10 which is telescopic so as to lower the folded turbine into the roof of the building or into the shaft provided for that purpose. This wind turbine can be used both on residential buildings and on industrial buildings and on ships for the purpose of generating renewable energy or as a source of driving power.

Description

Beschreibung der Erfindung  Description of the invention
Bezeichnung: „klappbare vertikale Windturbine mit unabhängig variable Flügeleinstellung“ Name: "foldable vertical wind turbine with independently variable blade adjustment"
Technisches Gebiet Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der erneuerbare Energieerzeugung. Technical Field The invention relates to the field of renewable energy generation.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Der Stand der Technik ist, dass vertikale Windturbinen nicht optimal die Windrichtung ausnutzen können oder sie lassen sich nicht an die wechselnde Windrichtung schnell anpassen. Außerdem sind solche Anlagen nicht in der Lage, bei fehlendem Wind sich zusammen klappen zu lassen, wodurch deren Verwendung in Wohngebiete störend wirkt. The state of the art is that vertical wind turbines cannot optimally take advantage of the wind direction or they cannot be quickly adapted to the changing wind direction. In addition, such systems are not able to collapse in the absence of wind, which makes their use in residential areas disruptive.
Zu lösende Aufgaben und deren Lösungen Tasks to be solved and their solutions
Es ist eine vertikale Windturbine notwendig, die schnelle Anpassung an die Windrichtung ermöglicht und beim fehlenden Wind oder bei sehr starken Winde die Eigenschaft aufweist, sich zusammen klappen zu können, um erstens beim Einsatz in Wohngebiete die Ästhetik nicht zu beeinträchtigen und zweitens zum Schutz der Turbine. A vertical wind turbine is necessary, which enables quick adaptation to the wind direction and, in the absence of wind or in very strong winds, has the property of being able to fold up, so as not to impair aesthetics when used in residential areas and secondly to protect the turbine ,
Bester Weg der Ausführung Best way of performing
Abbildung 1 a) zeigt eine mögliche Flügeleinstellung einer vertikalen Windturbine mit 4 Flügelpaaren (1 , 2, 3 und 4), um den Wind besser auszunützen. Dies wird ermöglicht durch den elektrischen Aktuator 5 (Abbildung 1 b). Jedes Flügelpaar wird von so einem Aktuator unabhängig voneinander verstellt. Dadurch kann eine optimale Stellung der Flügelpaare und schnelle Anpassung zur Windrichtung erreicht werden, so dass die Turbine das maximale Drehmoment erreicht. Figure 1 a) shows a possible blade adjustment of a vertical wind turbine with 4 pairs of blades (1, 2, 3 and 4) to make better use of the wind. This is made possible by the electrical actuator 5 (Figure 1 b). Each pair of blades is adjusted independently of one another by such an actuator. This enables an optimal position of the wing pairs and quick adjustment to the wind direction to be achieved, so that the turbine reaches the maximum torque.
Um die Turbine bei zu starkem Wind zu schützen oder um die Ästhetik des Gebäudes bei fehlendem Wind nicht zu beeinträchtigen, kann sich die Turbine zusammenfalten wie in Abbildung 2a). Dies kann geschehen dank der Gestänge 6, 7, 8 und 9 (Abbildung 2b), die hydraulisch oder elektrisch betätigt werden. Der Stator des Generators 1 1 (Abbildung 2c) ist befestigt auf dem Mast 10, der teleskopisch ausgeführt werden kann, um die gefaltete Turbine ins Dach des Gebäudes oder in den dafür vorgesehen Schacht abzusenken. In order to protect the turbine when the wind is too strong or in order not to impair the aesthetics of the building in the absence of wind, the turbine can fold up as in Figure 2a). This can be done thanks to the linkages 6, 7, 8 and 9 (Figure 2b), which are operated hydraulically or electrically. The stator of generator 1 1 (Figure 2c) is attached to mast 10, which can be telescoped to lower the folded turbine into the roof of the building or into the shaft provided for it.
Gewerbliche Verwertung Diese Turbine kann von Standart-Elementen und mit Standart- Prozessen hergestellt werden. Sie kann sowohl auf Wohnhäuser als auch auf Gewerbegebäuden und auf Schiffe zur Erzeugung von erneuerbarer Energie bzw. zum Antrieb zum Einsatz kommen. Commercial recycling This turbine can be manufactured from standard elements and with standard processes. It can be used on residential buildings as well as on commercial buildings and on ships for the generation of renewable energy or for propulsion.
