Power generation device with float assembly and turbine assembly

Abstract

This invention comprises two pontoon sections, a turbine assembly, and a height adjustment assembly. The turbine assembly has a fixed frame mounted on the two pontoon sections; it also has a first pivot joint that allows it to rotate at an adjustable angle on the fixed frame. A transmission unit drives the turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. The height adjustment assembly is located between the fixed frame and the turbine and is used to control the adjustment angle. The turbine section also has a plurality of first baffles, each first baffle including a baffle member, a grid plate, and a flexible baffle. The baffle member has at least one through hole, and the flexible baffle has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the flexible baffle is in contact with the baffle member and closes the through hole; in the second position, the flexible baffle is retracted from the baffle member and does not close the through hole.

Claims

1. A power generation device comprising a float assembly and a turbine assembly, comprising: A float assembly has two float sections forming a first space between them; the two float sections are for floating on a water surface; a water flow exists below the water surface; a turbine assembly is mounted on the float assembly, the turbine assembly having a fixed frame, a pair of first pivot sections, a pair of extension arms, a pair of second pivot sections, a transmission section, a turbine section, and a power generation section; the fixed frame is fixed to the two float sections and located in the first space; the pair of first pivot sections are mounted on the fixed frame, the pair of extension arms are located between the pair of first pivot sections and the pair of second pivot sections and are connected to each other; the transmission section and the turbine section are coaxially pivotally mounted on the pair of second pivot sections, and the transmission section connects the turbine section and the power generation section; A height adjustment assembly includes a pair of telescopic adjustment units, each pivotally mounted at one end to a fixed frame and at the other end to a pair of extension arms. The extension and retraction of these units are linked to the rotation of the extension arms around the pair of first pivot joints by an adjustment angle. The turbine assembly includes a central shaft, two outer plates, a plurality of first partitions, a plurality of second partitions, and a plurality of inner baffles. The central shaft is coaxially pivotally mounted with the transmission assembly to the pair of second pivot joints. The two outer plates are fixed to the central shaft. The plurality of first partitions, second partitions, and inner baffles are fixed between the two outer plates, forming a plurality of second spaces. These second spaces are adjacent to each other and arranged in a ring. Each of the plurality of first partitions... The system includes a partition, a grid, and a flexible baffle. The partition has at least one through hole, the grid has a plurality of holes, and a third space is formed between the partition and the grid to accommodate the flexible baffle. The flexible baffle has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the flexible baffle is in contact with the partition and closes the at least one through hole. In the second position, the flexible baffle is retracted from the partition and does not close the at least one through hole. A portion of the plurality of second spaces is used to contact the water surface and be immersed to a certain depth. When the water flows below the water surface, it can force the water turbine to rotate, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity through the transmission. The height of the water turbine above the water surface can be adjusted by controlling the size of the adjustment angle.

2. The power generation device having a float assembly and a turbine assembly as described in claim 1, wherein: The transmission system further includes a first transmission member, a second transmission member, and a linkage member; the first transmission member is coaxially connected to the pair of second pivots and the central rotating shaft; the second transmission member is coaxially connected to the power generation unit; and the linkage member is connected to the first transmission member and the second transmission member.

3. The power generation device having a float assembly and a turbine assembly as described in claim 2, wherein: Both the first and second transmission components are transmission gears; and the connecting component is a transmission belt.

4. The power generation device having a float assembly and a turbine assembly as described in claim 1, wherein, The pair of extension arms has a connecting portion and two extension portions. The connecting portion is connected between the pair of extension arms, and the two extension portions are respectively connected to the connecting portion corresponding to the corresponding telescopic adjustment unit, for pivotally connecting the pair of telescopic adjustment units.

5. The power generation device having a float assembly and a turbine assembly as described in claim 4, wherein, Both extensions are inverted L-shaped structures.

6. The power generation device having a float assembly and a turbine assembly as described in claim 1, wherein, The fixed frame system further includes a front pivot assembly and a rear pivot assembly, at least one of which is used for expansion.
