Description

스스로 풍향을 추종하는 바람유입장치Wind induction device that tracks the wind direction by itself
본 발명은 스스로 풍향을 추종하는 바람유입장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a wind inlet device that follows the wind direction by itself.
일반적으로 풍력발전장치는 자연의 바람 에너지를 기계 에너지로 변환시켜 발전하는 것으로, 이와 같은 풍력발전장치는 바람이 많이 부는 장소에 설치하여 바람을 유입함은 물론 유입된 바람의 힘으로 터빈을 회전시켜 전기를 발생시킨다.In general, a wind power generator generates electricity by converting natural wind energy into mechanical energy. Such a wind power generator is installed in a windy place to introduce wind and rotate a turbine with the force of the wind. generate electricity
풍력발전장치는 외부에서 유입되는 바람에 의해 회전되는 회전날개와, 회전날개의 회전력을 전달하는 회전축과, 회전축에 의해 구동되어 동력을 전달하는 동력 전달부 및 전기를 발생시키는 발전기로 구성된다. A wind turbine generator is composed of rotating blades that are rotated by wind introduced from the outside, a rotating shaft that transmits rotational force of the rotating blades, a power transmission unit that is driven by the rotating shaft to transmit power, and a generator that generates electricity.
풍력발전장치는 상술한 회전축의 배치 방향에 따라 수평형과 수직형으로 구분된다.The wind turbine generator is divided into a horizontal type and a vertical type according to the arrangement direction of the rotation shaft described above.
그러나, 종래의 풍력발전장치는 터빈이 외부공간에 노출되어 전 방향에서 바람의 영향을 받도록 설계됨에 따라, 풍향이 수시로 변화하거나, 풍속이 느린 지역에서는 터빈 주변에서 바람이 분산되어 터빈의 전면으로 바람이 정확히 전달되지 못하고, 이에 따라 터빈이 충분히 회전되지 못하여 지속적이고 안정적인 전력 생산이 어려운 문제점이 있었다.However, as the conventional wind power generator is designed so that the turbine is exposed to the outside space and is affected by wind from all directions, in areas where the wind direction changes frequently or the wind speed is slow, the wind is dispersed around the turbine and the wind blows toward the front of the turbine. This is not accurately transmitted, and accordingly, the turbine is not sufficiently rotated, so that continuous and stable power generation is difficult.
또한, 종래의 풍력발전장치는 발전기와 1:1로 매칭되는 구조를 가짐에 따라, 발전량을 늘리기 위해서는 풍력발전장치의 크기를 전체적으로 증대시키거나, 다수의 풍력발전장치를 지상에 설치해야만 하고, 이로 인해 많은 비용을 필요로 함은 물론, 공간 활용도에 있어서 매우 비효율적인 문제점이 있었다.In addition, as the conventional wind power generator has a structure that is matched 1:1 with the generator, in order to increase the amount of power generation, the overall size of the wind power generator must be increased or a plurality of wind power generators must be installed on the ground, thereby As a result, a lot of cost is required, and there is a very inefficient problem in space utilization.
또한, 종래의 풍력발전장치는 바람의 난류가 터빈에 유입됨에 따라 회전 시 역방향으로 공기저항이 발생되었고, 이로 인하여 발전효율이 감소하는 어려움이 있었다.In addition, in the conventional wind turbine generator, as wind turbulence flows into the turbine, air resistance is generated in the reverse direction during rotation, and as a result, there is a difficulty in reducing power generation efficiency.
또한, 종래의 풍력발전장치는 터빈이 외부공간에 노출된 상태로 배치됨에 따라, 온도, 습도, 모래, 이물질, 조류 등과 같은 외부 환경에 의해 손상되거나, 운영 시 발생하는 소음으로 주거 및 상업지역에 설치하기 어려운 문제점이 있었다.In addition, conventional wind power generators are damaged by external environments such as temperature, humidity, sand, foreign matter, algae, etc., or noise generated during operation, as the turbine is disposed in a state exposed to the external space. There were problems with installation.

본 발명의 실시예에 따르면, 풍력 터빈 유닛에 바람을 공급하는 바람 추종 유닛이 원주방향을 따라 회전되면서 전 방향에서 불어오는 바람의 방향을 스스로 추종하므로, 풍향의 변화가 많거나, 풍속이 느린 환경에서도 풍력 터빈 유닛에 지속적으로 바람을 공급할 수 있고, 이를 통해 풍력 터빈 유닛의 동력을 충분히 확보하여 안정적으로 전력을 생산할 수 있다.According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the wind following unit for supplying wind to the wind turbine unit rotates along the circumferential direction and follows the direction of the wind blowing from all directions, the environment where the wind direction changes a lot or the wind speed is slow. Wind can be continuously supplied to the wind turbine unit even in the wind turbine unit, through which sufficient power of the wind turbine unit can be secured and power can be stably produced.
또한, 바람 추종 유닛의 단부에 웨지 구조의 가이드 호퍼가 배치되므로, 바람 추종 유닛으로 유입되는 바람의 유입량을 극대화 하고, 이를 통해 풍력 터빈 유닛의 동력을 확보하여 발전량을 높일 수 있다.In addition, since the guide hopper having a wedge structure is disposed at an end of the wind following unit, an inflow amount of wind flowing into the wind following unit is maximized, and through this, power of the wind turbine unit may be secured to increase power generation.
또한, 한 개의 분배 유닛에 다수의 풍력 터빈 유닛이 연결되어, 분배 유닛에서 분배되는 바람을 통해 동시에 구동되는 구조를 가지므로, 전체적인 구조 및 설비가 간소화되어 비용을 절감할 수 있고, 바람 추종 유닛과 풍력 터빈 유닛이 개별적으로 설치되는 설비구조에 비해 전체적인 부피를 최소화하면서 고용량 및 고효율의 발전이 가능할 수 있다.In addition, since a plurality of wind turbine units are connected to one distribution unit and have a structure in which they are driven simultaneously through the wind distributed from the distribution unit, the overall structure and equipment are simplified to reduce costs, and the wind following unit and Compared to a facility structure in which wind turbine units are individually installed, high-capacity and high-efficiency power generation may be possible while minimizing the overall volume.
또한, 바람 추종 유닛의 내부에 적어도 한 번 이상 바람의 이동 방향을 변경시키도록 구성되는 유로가 마련되므로, 바람 추종 유닛의 내부로 유입된 바람이 유로를 통과하면서 흐름이 안정화되고, 이에 바람의 난류가 직진풍으로 유도되어 풍력 터빈 유닛의 안정적인 구동이 가능할 수 있다.In addition, since a passage configured to change the moving direction of the wind at least once is provided inside the wind following unit, the wind introduced into the inside of the wind following unit passes through the passage and the flow is stabilized, thereby stabilizing wind turbulence. Is induced as a straight wind, it may be possible to stably drive the wind turbine unit.
또한, 바람 추종 유닛은 실외 공간(대지, 바다, 건물, 주택, 차량, 선박 등의 외부)에 배치되고, 풍력 터빈 유닛은 실내 공간(대지, 바다의 하부 및 건물, 주택, 차량, 선박 등의 내부 또는 지하)에 배치되므로, 온도, 습도, 모래, 이물질, 조류 등과 같은 외부 환경으로부터 풍력 터빈 유닛 및 그에 연결된 발전기 등과 같은 주요 부품들을 보호할 수 있고, 이를 통해 안정적인 장비의 운영이 가능할 수 있다.In addition, the wind following unit is placed in an outdoor space (earth, sea, building, house, vehicle, ship, etc.), and the wind turbine unit is placed in an indoor space (land, under the sea, building, house, vehicle, ship, etc.) Since it is disposed inside or underground), it is possible to protect major components such as a wind turbine unit and a generator connected thereto from external environments such as temperature, humidity, sand, foreign matter, algae, etc., and through this, stable operation of the equipment may be possible.
또한, 바람 추종 유닛과 풍력 터빈 유닛을 분리할 수 있는 구조를 적용함으로써, 종래의 풍력발전장치들이 설치되기 어려운 다양한 실외환경 (대지, 바다, 호수의 지하, 건물 및 주택의 실내 또는 지하, 차량 및 선박의 내부, 전기차 충전소의 지하 등)에 최적화된 형태로 풍력발전장치의 제작 및 설치가 가능해진다.In addition, by applying a structure capable of separating the wind follower unit and the wind turbine unit, various outdoor environments where conventional wind power generators are difficult to install (earth, sea, underground of lakes, indoors or underground of buildings and houses, vehicles and It is possible to manufacture and install wind power generators in a form optimized for the interior of a ship, underground of an electric vehicle charging station, etc.).
