Abstract

The invention relates to a flapping wing type energy harvesting device with a rotary cylinder as the front edge. The flapping wing type energy harvesting device comprises a flapping wing shape, a rotating cylinder, a coupler and a motor; the rotating cylinder is arranged at the front edge of the flapping wing shape, one end of the rotating cylinder is connected with a micro motor capable of rotating forwards and backwards through the coupler, the rotating cylinder is driven by the motor to rotate, and the rotating speed of the rotating cylinder is controlled by adjusting the rotating speed ofthe motor. According to the invention, the rotating cylinder flow control technology is applied to the flapping wing type energy harvester, the lifting force of the flapping wing can be remarkably increased, the acting performance of the flapping wing shape is enhanced, and therefore the energy harvesting efficiency is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flapping wing type energy harvesting device, in particular to a flapping wing type energy harvesting device with a rotatable cylinder driven by a motor. Background technique [0002] Inspired by the high-efficiency flight of birds' flapping wings, humans proposed the idea of ​​airfoils flapping in the wind or water to obtain energy from the fluid. The flapping motion can be regarded as the combined motion of the heave translation of the airfoil in the plane and the pitching motion around a point in the translation plane. The work done by the wing can achieve energy capture under certain conditions, and the lift force has a great influence on the energy capture efficiency. Increasing the lift force can improve the energy capture efficiency. [0003] Different from the traditional rotating impeller wind turbine, the airfoil in the flapping wing energy harvesting device can perform superimposed motions of heave and pitch (the h...
