Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind power generation technology, and specifically relates to a wind power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power generation converts renewable wind energy into electrical energy that can be used by electrical equipment. Utilizing wind energy for power generation is very environmentally friendly and sustainable, especially in high-altitude areas with abundant winds year-round. Using sustainably generated wind energy to drive mechanical equipment and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy requires significantly lower electricity costs than generating electricity from small internal combustion engines. Furthermore, compared to traditional thermal power generation, wind power does not impact the surrounding environment, making it a new type of clean and sustainable energy source. However, current wind power equipment struggles to adjust its angle of attack to adapt to changes in wind direction, leading to low wind energy utilization efficiency. On the other hand, in strong winds, current wind power equipment cannot lock the rotating blades, making them prone to damage due to excessively rapid rotation.

[0003] Therefore, a new wind power generation device needs to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a wind power generation device.

[0005] This invention provides a wind power generation device, comprising: a blower, a connecting seat connected to the blower, and an adjustment mechanism located within the connecting seat; wherein,

[0006] The adjustment mechanism includes a drive assembly, at least one connecting plate connected to the drive assembly, and ball bearings disposed on the connecting plate. The drive assembly drives the connecting plate to rotate within the connecting seat, and the ball bearings reduce friction during rotation to adjust the windward angle of the blower.

[0007] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive worm and a turbine disk, with one end of the drive worm connected to a drive motor and the other end meshing with the turbine disk.

[0015] Optionally, the blower is connected to the connecting seat via a connecting housing, and a locking mechanism is provided inside the connecting housing to lock the blower.

[0016] Optionally, the blower includes a rotating shaft and multiple rotating blades, wherein,

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention should be understood in their ordinary sense by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms "comprising" or "including," as used in this invention, do not limit the shapes, numbers, steps, actions, operations, components, elements, and / or groups thereof mentioned, nor do they exclude the appearance or inclusion of one or more other different shapes, numbers, steps, actions, operations, components, elements, and / or groups thereof. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number and order of the indicated technical features.

[0031] In some descriptions of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "linking," or "fixing" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect through an intermediate medium, which can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Furthermore, terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a wind power generation device, including: a blower, a connecting seat connected to the blower, and an adjustment mechanism located within the connecting seat. The adjustment mechanism includes a drive assembly, at least one connecting disc connected to the drive assembly, and ball bearings disposed on the connecting disc. The drive assembly drives the connecting disc to rotate within the connecting seat, and the ball bearings reduce friction during rotation to adjust the windward angle of the blower.

[0033] Since it is difficult to adjust the windward angle of current wind power equipment after it is installed and fixed, this embodiment sets up an adjustment mechanism to adjust the windward angle of the wind power equipment. That is, the wind power equipment can be adjusted according to the real-time wind direction so that it is always in the direction of the wind, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of wind energy, increasing the power generation per unit time, and improving efficiency.

[0034] It should be noted that the wind power generation equipment in this embodiment can be used to observe whether the wind power generation equipment starts normally and to determine whether it is working properly based on the power generation.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the wind power generation equipment of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a support column 2 disposed above the base 1, a connecting seat 3 disposed on the side (above) of the support column 2 away from the base 1, a connecting housing 4 connected to the connecting seat 3, and a blower connected to the connecting housing 4. The blower includes a rotating shaft 5 and rotating blades 6 surrounding the rotating shaft 5.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the drive assembly in this embodiment includes a turbine disk 17 and a drive worm gear 18. One end of the drive worm gear 18 is connected to a drive motor, and the other end meshes with the turbine disk 17.

[0037] It should be understood that the turbine disk in this embodiment has gears on its outer periphery, which mesh with the drive worm gear. The drive worm gear is driven to rotate by the drive motor, and in turn, the drive worm gear drives the turbine disk to rotate.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism of this embodiment includes a first connecting plate 14 and a second connecting plate 19 arranged opposite to each other. The first connecting plate 14 is provided with at least one first ball bearing 15, and the second connecting plate 19 is provided with at least one second ball bearing 20. Furthermore, the first connecting plate 14, the second connecting plate 19, and the turbine disk 17 are coaxially arranged. That is, the turbine disk is located in the middle position, the first connecting plate is located at the top position, and the second connecting plate is located at the bottom position. All three are coaxially arranged, and both the first and second connecting plates are connected to the turbine disk. The rotation of the turbine disk drives the first and second connecting plates to rotate within the connecting seat, and the first and second ball bearings reduce friction during rotation, thereby automatically adjusting the windward angle.

[0039] Optional, continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some preferred embodiments, both the first connecting plate 14 and the second connecting plate 19 are provided with cable through holes 16 so that the cable 16a can pass through, which effectively reduces the impact on the cable when the first connecting plate 14 and the second connecting plate 19 rotate, and improves the stability during rotation by using the above-mentioned first connecting plate and second connecting plate, effectively avoiding damage to the drive worm gear due to lateral force.

[0040] It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the cable through-hole structure. It can be in the shape of a round hole, or in the shape of a long groove, or even in the shape of a C-shaped structure, etc.

[0041] In other embodiments, a cable winding mechanism is provided inside the support column. This mechanism enables automatic winding of the cable, effectively preventing the cable from being damaged by coiling between the connecting housing and the connecting seat during the adjustment of the windward angle.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the cable winding mechanism includes a winding reel 21, a rotating column 22, and a torsion spring 23. The two ends of the rotating column 22 are fixed to opposite side walls (left and right side walls) of the support column 2. The winding reel 21 is rotatably mounted on the rotating column 22. The torsion spring 23 is wound around the rotating column 22, distributed on both sides of the winding reel 21 and arranged in opposite directions to drive the winding reel 21 to wind and reset the cable 16a. In other words, by using the torsion spring 23 and rotating column 22 connected to both sides of the winding reel 21, the winding reel 21 can rotate within the support column 2, and the torsion springs 23 on both sides of the winding reel 21 are arranged in opposite directions, allowing the winding reel 21 to automatically wind and reset, thereby achieving automatic winding of the cable 16a.

[0043] Furthermore, existing wind power generation equipment cannot lock the blades, which can easily lead to excessive rotational speed and damage to the blades. Therefore, this embodiment also includes a locking mechanism. Based on the above structure, the blower is connected to the connecting seat through the connecting housing. This embodiment includes a locking mechanism inside the connecting housing, which can be used to lock the blower in windy weather to protect the blades.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the blower in this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 5 and multiple rotating blades 6. The first end of the rotating shaft 5 is connected to the multiple rotating blades 6, and the second end of the rotating shaft 5 passes through the connecting housing 4, with a rotating disk 8 sleeved on the second end.

[0045] Further reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 The locking mechanism includes a first locking layer 9 sleeved on the rotating disk 8 and positioning blocks 11 located on both sides of the rotating disk 8. A second locking layer 10 is provided on the side of each positioning block 11 facing the first locking layer 9. By adjusting the distance between the second locking layer 10 and the first locking layer 9, the rotating disk, rotating shaft, and rotating blades can be locked. In other words, in this embodiment, positioning blocks are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the first locking layer, i.e., two positioning blocks are provided. A second locking layer is provided on the side of each positioning block facing the first locking layer. By adjusting the distance between the second locking layer and the first locking layer, i.e., by controlling the two second locking layers to move towards the first locking layer until they abut, the two second locking layers lock the first locking layer, further controlling the rotation of the rotating disk.

[0046] It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the structure of the first locking layer and the second locking layer. For example, it can be set as a frosted layer, which not only achieves the purpose of locking, but also increases the friction between the two, further controlling the rotation of the rotating disk.

[0047] For further information, please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 8 In other embodiments, the locking mechanism further includes connecting blocks 12 located on both sides of the rotating disk 8 and connected to the positioning blocks 11, and a rotating screw 13 rotatably connected to the connecting blocks 12. By rotating the rotating screw 13, the connecting blocks 12 and the positioning blocks 11 move towards each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the second locking layer 10 and the first locking layer 9 to lock the rotating disk 8, and thus lock the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating blade 6. This effectively prevents the rotating blade 6 from being damaged due to excessive rotation caused by strong winds. In other words, this embodiment also includes a structure for driving the second locking layer to move towards the first locking layer, and connecting blocks are provided at both the upper and lower parts of the rotating screw. By controlling the rotation of the rotating screw, the connecting blocks are moved, thereby driving the positioning blocks and the second locking layer to move.

[0048] It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the connection method between the rotating lead screw and the connecting block, as long as it can drive the two connecting blocks to move.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotating lead screw 13 and the connecting block 12 are threadedly connected, and the threads at both ends of the rotating lead screw 13 are arranged in opposite directions to drive the connecting block 12 and the positioning block 11 to move towards each other.

[0050] Furthermore, current wind power equipment struggles to detect blade damage in a timely manner, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, a detection element 7 is also provided at the end of the rotating blade 6 to detect whether the rotating blade is damaged.

[0051] The wind power generation equipment in this embodiment uses sustainably generated wind energy to drive mechanical equipment and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The cost of the electricity it generates is much lower than that of a small internal combustion engine. Compared with traditional thermal power generation equipment, wind power generation does not have an impact on the surrounding environment and is a new type of clean energy that is sustainable.

[0052] This invention provides a wind power generation device, which has the following advantages compared to the prior art:

[0053] First, the wind power generation equipment of the present invention is equipped with an adjustment mechanism to automatically adjust the windward angle of the wind power generation equipment, and thus adjust it according to the wind direction, so that the power generation equipment is always in the direction of the wind, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of wind energy, thereby increasing the power generation per unit time and improving efficiency.

[0054] Secondly, the wind power generation equipment of the present invention is equipped with a locking mechanism, which can lock the rotating blades in windy weather to protect the rotating blades.

[0055] Third, the wind power generation equipment of the present invention can detect whether the rotating blades are damaged.

[0056] Fourth, the wind power generation equipment of the present invention is equipped with a cable winding mechanism, which can automatically wind and unwind the cable during the adjustment of the windward angle.

[0057] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
