Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and the present invention includes but not limited to the following embodiments.

[0019] The invention provides an energy-capturing mechanism of an ocean current energy generating device based on the Magnus effect, which includes a plurality of combined impellers (three to eight), a connecting ring and a shaft. The combined impeller consists of a round tube, two Savonius-type blades and two round tables. The two ends of the circular tube are fixedly connected to the Savonius-type blades through the circular platform respectively. Multiple combined impellers are connected together through connecting rings and axisymmetrically distributed.

[0020] The surface of the above-mentioned circular tube has the feature of spiral protrusions. The rising angle of the helical protrusion is 30 degrees, which is a single helical structure.

[0021] The above-mentio...

Abstract

The invention provides an ocean current energy power generation device energy obtaining mechanism based on the Magnus effect. The ocean current energy power generation device energy obtaining mechanism comprises a plurality of combined impellers, connecting rings and a shaft. The ocean current energy power generation device energy obtaining mechanism is characterized in that each combined impellercomprises a circular pipe and two Savonius type blades, two ends of the circular pipe are coaxially and fixedly connected with one Savonius type blade correspondingly, the circular pipe is arranged between the two connecting rings through the shaft, and the multiple combined impellers are uniformly distributed along the connecting rings; and the combined impellers rotate around the shaft under the action of ocean current and pushes the connecting rings to rotate. The ocean current energy power generation device energy obtaining mechanism based on the Magnus effect is simple in structure and convenient to manufacture, incoming flow in all directions can be captured, a reversing mechanism is not needed, vortex-induced vibration can be effectively restrained, underwater operation noise is lowered, and the service life is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ocean current energy power generation, in particular to an energy-capturing mechanism for a vertical axis ocean current energy power generation device. Background technique [0002] At present, the development of green new energy is a research hotspot all over the world. Ocean current energy, as a clean and renewable energy with huge storage capacity, has broad prospects for its development and utilization. The ocean current energy generating device is a device that converts ocean kinetic energy into electrical energy, and the energy harvesting mechanism is an important part of the ocean current energy generating device. According to the position of the rotation axis of the energy-capturing mechanism (impeller) and the direction of water flow, it can be divided into horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. [0003] For an object rotating in a fluid, the fluid velocity on both sides of the object prod...
