Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wind power generation device, in particular to a vertical axis wind power generator. Background Art

[0002] Wind energy is a renewable energy source, and there are many types of wind turbines that use wind energy. At present, there are two main types of wind turbines, one is a horizontal axis wind turbine, and the other is a vertical axis wind turbine. Vertical axis wind turbines are divided into two types: resistance type and lift type. The lift type wind turbine has a high speed, large rotational inertia, relatively simple structure, and low cost, but this structure is difficult to start when the vertical axis wind turbine starts running, especially when the wind speed is low, the operating performance is poor; the advantage of the resistance type wind turbine is that the starting torque is large and the starting performance is good, but its speed is low, and the utilization rate of wind energy is even lower than that of the horizontal axis wind turbine. Patent No. 201410368026.1 discloses a vertical axis wind turbine, which collects wind energy by fixing the fan blades. When the wind blows, the fan blades on one side provide a positive torque while the fan blades on the other side also generate a large reverse torque, so the utilization efficiency of wind power is still very low. In addition, the existing wind turbines are not very strong in resisting strong winds. When the wind is too strong, it is easy to blow down the generator, causing losses. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is a further description of a vertical axis wind turbine according to the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a vertical axis wind turbine according to the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The enlarged view of A in the middle. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 DD view in, Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The E-direction view in Figure 5 yes Figure 4 C-direction view, Figure 6 yes Figure 2In the figure, the vertical axis wind turbine includes a base 1 and a central rotating shaft 2. The central rotating shaft 2 is provided with a plurality of wind plate frames 3 evenly distributed around the rotating shaft. The wind plate frames 3 are arranged in an arc shape. The wind plate frames 3 are provided with a plurality of rows and columns of regularly arranged wind plates 4. Each wind plate 4 is provided with a wind plate rotating shaft 5. The wind plate rotating shaft 5 is perpendicular to the central rotating shaft 2. Each wind plate rotating shaft 5 is provided with a wind plate operating lever 17 for controlling the rotation of the wind plate rotating shaft. The outer ends of the wind plate operating levers 17 in each column are hinged to the same linkage rod 18. The top end of each linkage rod 18 is hinged to a transverse connecting rod 19. The middle of the transverse connecting rod 19 is fixed to the lifting crank shaft 7 through a hinge. A cam barrel 10 is arranged at the upper end of the central rotating shaft 2, and the upper end annular surface of the cam barrel 10 is provided with a semi-circular lower surface and a semi-circular upper surface, and the semi-circular lower surface and the semi-circular upper surface are transitionally connected through a sloped cam lifting surface 15, and a crank roller 16 is arranged at one end of the lifting crank shaft 7 and is carried on the upper end annular surface of the cam barrel 10, and the middle part of the lifting crank shaft 7 is hinged on a bracket 22 fixed on the wind plate frame, and the lifting crank shaft 7 can swing up and down on the bracket 22. A crank lifting barrel 11 is arranged in the cam barrel 10, and a wind vane is arranged on the crank lifting barrel 11, and a wind direction tail rudder 14 is arranged on the wind vane, and two windward boards 13 that can stand upright and lie flat are also arranged perpendicular to the wind direction tail rudder 14, and a safety pull wire 12 is arranged at the lower part of the windward board 13, and the lower end of the safety pull wire 12 is fixed on the pull wire fixing column 20 on the inner wall of the crank lifting barrel 11. The cam tube 10 is provided with a lifting groove 9 on its wall, and the outer wall of the crank shaft lifting tube 11 is provided with a pin 8 that can slide in the lifting groove 9, and a return spring is provided at the lower end of the pin 8. The lifting groove 9 is arranged at an angle of 45° with the axis of the central rotating shaft 2.

[0023] During operation, the wind plate 4 on the side generating the positive torque is in an upright state. When the wind blows the wind plate 4 to rotate through a certain angle, the blowing force of the wind on the wind plate gradually decreases. At this time, the bend shaft roller 16 on the lifting bend shaft 7 rises along with the cam lifting surface 15, driving the wind plate operating lever 17 to lift up, and finally lifting the wind plate 4 to a horizontal state. At this time, the reverse torque of the wind plate 4 reaches a minimum. As the wind plate frame continues to rotate, the lifting bend shaft 7 on the horizontal wind plate descends along with the cam lifting surface 15 on the other side, and the wind plate 4 is changed to an upright state through the wind plate operating lever 17, thereby increasing the positive torque of the wind plate frame, and the cycle continues. When the wind is too strong, in order to prevent the wind turbine from being blown down by the wind, the strong wind will blow the windward plate 13 down to a horizontal state, and the turning shaft lifting cylinder 11 will be pulled upward through the safety pull line 12. Then, the upper end surface of the turning shaft lifting cylinder 11 will lift the turning shaft 7 at the same time, and all the wind plates will be turned into a horizontal state to reduce the destructive force of the strong wind on the wind turbine. When the wind is slightly reduced, the return spring under the pin shaft will pull the pin shaft back to the bottom position, the turning shaft lifting cylinder 11 will fall back, and the wind turbine will be in normal working condition again.

[0024] The wind blades of the vertical axis wind turbine can automatically change their direction, reducing the resistance of adverse wind. At the same time, when the wind is too strong, all the wind blades will automatically change to a horizontal direction, reducing the damage of wind to the generator.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention.
