Problems solved by technology

However, when the ship is moored at the anchorage or the port, the sails are useless, resulting in a great waste of wind energy.
Loading wind turbines on ships will increase resistance during navigation, and the utilization rate of wind energy during navigation is low

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an adaptive sail that can generate electricity, including movable airfoil blades 1, a hydraulic drive device, a hydraulic positioning device, a mast 10, and a generator 18, and the mast 10 is arranged on a ship through a bearing 14. Above, the lower end of the mast 10 is connected to the input shaft of the generator 18 through a transmission mechanism, and the movable airfoil blade 1 is composed of a plurality of blades, and the movable airfoil blade 1 is placed on the In the slider groove at the upper end of the mast 10, the outer surface of the movable airfoil blade transitions smoothly when closed, forming an arc-shaped sail as a whole. When power generation is required, the movable airfoil blade is driven to unfold by a hydraulic drive device , and the position of each blade is fixed by a hydraulic positioning ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adapting sail capable of generating power. The self-adapting sail comprises a movable wing-type blade, a hydraulic drive device, a hydraulic positioning device, a mast and a power generator, wherein the mast is arranged on a ship through a bearing; the lower end of the mast is connected to the input shaft of the power generator through a transmission mechanism; the movable wing-type blade consists of a plurality of blades; the movable wing-type blade is arranged in a slide block slot in the upper end of the mast through a supporting slide block mechanism; while closed, the outer surface of the movable wing-type blade is smoothly transited to integrally form a circular-arc-shaped sail form; and when power generation is needed, the movable wing-type blade is driven by the hydraulic drive device to stretch, and the position of each blade is fixed through the hydraulic positioning device, so that a vertical-axis wind driven generator form is integrally formed. According to the self-adapting sail, the ship utilizes the sail to assist navigation during navigation, and utilizes a fan to assist power generation during mooring, so that the utilization rate of wind energy is remarkably increased, and energy resources are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wind power navigation aids, in particular to an adaptive sail capable of generating electricity. Background technique [0002] Wind energy is a clean energy that exists widely in nature. It has been used in the shipbuilding industry for a long time, and it has been used as a source of propulsion power for ships for thousands of years before the appearance of heat engines. Although thermal engines such as diesel engines quickly replaced wind power as the main propulsion power of modern ships, under the dual pressure of conventional energy shortage and global ecological environment deterioration, wind energy has made great progress as a part of new energy. In recent years, the vast majority of inland, offshore and ocean-going ships use the auxiliary thrust generated by sails to reduce the power of the main engine to achieve the purpose of energy saving. [0003] Disclosed some patents for applying wind energy on shi...
