AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing small hydroelectric power generation devices struggle to maintain optimal power generation efficiency due to varying water flow rates in irrigation canals, as they either reduce the flow rate or fail to effectively utilize the high-speed water flow near the surface, and cannot adjust the positional relationship between the water flow and the water wheel in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Method used

A small hydroelectric power generation apparatus with a first and second water intake channel, a water wheel with an orthogonal axis, a lateral movement apparatus for horizontal adjustment, and a vertical movement apparatus for vertical adjustment, allowing the second intake channel and water wheel to be moved independently to optimize the angle of water flow impact on the wheel.

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient power generation by utilizing high-speed water flow near the surface without reducing flow rates, adjusting the angle of impact, and allowing versatile installation in various environments by adapting to changing water levels and flow rates.

Abstract

The present invention enables efficient power generation which is in proportion to the flow rate in a conduit, such power generation the result of the following being provided: a first guide conduit located on the upstream side; a second guide conduit located on the downstream side; a water wheel that is on the most downstream side of the guide conduits, and that has a rotational axis in a direction perpendicular to the flow of water; a horizontal movement device that enables the second guide conduit to move in the upstream direction or the downstream direction; and a vertical movement device that enables the water wheel to move in the vertical direction.
