A vertical axis ocean current power generation device for underwater vehicles based on gear transmission

Abstract

The invention discloses a gear transmission based underwater vehicle vertical shaft current power generation device. Two vertical shaft current power generation devices are respectively installed on a vehicle casing; installation directions of the two vertical shaft current generation devices are opposite; an internal gear is fixed on the external end surface of an impeller casing end plate; external gears are fixed on shafts of the electric generators; the electric generators are symmetrically installed on the end surface at the middle section of the vehicle; three blades are respectively installed at top ends of extensible mechanisms; the blades rotate surrounding a center shaft under impact of incoming flows and generate tangential force which drive a rotary shaft to rotate and accordingly the blades, the extensible mechanisms and generation device supports rotate surrounding underwater vehicle longitudinal axes, the internal gear which is connected with an impeller casing is driven to rotate, then the external gears and the electric generators are driven to rotate, and kinetic energy of currents is converted to be electric energy for the underwater vehicle. The gear transmission based underwater vehicle vertical shaft current power generation device solves the energy supply problem of the underwater vehicle, prolongs the working time of the underwater vehicle and saves costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater vehicles, and in particular relates to an underwater vehicle ocean current vertical axis power generation device based on gear transmission. Background technique [0002] An underwater vehicle is a vehicle that sails underwater, including manned underwater vehicles and unmanned underwater vehicles, which can complete underwater exploration, detection, and even military offensive and defensive tasks. Underwater vehicles have the advantages of large range of activities, deep diving depth, access to complex structures, and no need for huge surface support. They also have the characteristics of low cost and maintenance costs, reusability, convenient launch and recovery, and long battery life. Now that ocean development is becoming more and more important, underwater vehicles are getting more and more attention from various countries, and they play an important role in both civilian and military use.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The device collects the sloshing energy of the aircraft through the inertial pendulum swing and the movement of the mass block caused by ocean disturbances, but the sloshing energy power generation device is placed inside the aircraft and does not directly contact the ocean, so its conversion efficiency is low
