In a broad sense, it is a heat energy generator that uses the sun's micro-heat source and the atmosphere as a working medium. The working principle of a wind turbine is to use wind power to drive the impeller to rotate, and then increase the speed of the generator through the transmission system to drive the generator to generate electricity, effectively converting wind energy into electrical energy. According to current wind turbine technology, power generation can begin when the wind speed reaches 3m / s.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example: See Figure 1-Figure 5 The present invention provides a vertical axis wind power generation system, including a generator 1, the generator 1 is a permanent magnet rotor AC generator, the housing of the generator 1 is fixedly connected to a flange base 21, and the bottom end of the flange base 21 is fixedly connected to a steel pipe column 22. The output shaft of the generator 1 is fixedly connected to a wind wheel hub 2, and wind blades 3 are evenly arranged around the wind wheel hub 2.

[0026] An extension arm 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the wind blade 3, and a rotating arm 5 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the extension arm 4 close to the wind wheel hub 2. The wind wheel hub 2 is fixedly connected to a horizontal support wing 6 corresponding to the wind blade 3 one by one, and the horizontal support wing 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 5 through a pin 7. The upper and lower ends of the wind blade 3 are horizontally slidably connected to a movable pull ring 8, and the upper and lower ends of the wind wheel hub 2 are fixedly connected to an auxiliary upright pole 9. The side wall of the auxiliary upright pole 9 is fixedly connected to a fixed pull ring 10. The movable pull ring 8 and the fixed pull ring 10 are arranged at an angle to each other, and a cable 11 is fixed between the movable pull ring 8 and the fixed pull ring 10.

[0027] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, a flat groove 17 is provided on the upper surface of the end of the horizontal support wing 6 near the rotating arm 5, and the horizontal cross section of the flat groove 17 is inwardly concave and deformed, and the horizontal center of the flat groove 17 is fixedly connected to the pin 7, and the pin 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 5. The flat groove 17 limits the horizontal rotation angle of the rotating arm 5. The present invention can adjust the installation angle of attack of the wind blade 3 within a certain range by rotatably connecting the rotating arm 5 with the horizontal support wing 6. Compared with the vertical axis wind turbine with fixed wind blades, the present invention can automatically adjust the angle of the wind blade 3 to increase the output power by the centrifugal force and aerodynamic force of the wind blade 3 during power generation.

[0028] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, a sliding hole 15 is provided on the side wall of the wind blade 3 to allow the movable pull ring 8 to slide horizontally, and the inner wall of the wind blade 3 is slidably connected to a limit plate 16, and the horizontal cross-section of the limit plate 16 is arc-shaped. The end of the movable pull ring 8 away from the cable 11 passes through the sliding hole 15 and is fixedly connected to the limit plate 16. The present invention assists in traction of the wind blade 3 by upper and lower cables 11, so that the wind blade 3 has three points of support, namely, upper, middle and lower, which significantly improves the installation strength and stability of the wind blade 3 and reduces the bending load of the horizontal support wing 6. The cable 11 is light in texture, and one end of the wind blade 3 connected to the cable 11 can be rotated horizontally, so that the installation angle of the wind blade 3 is variable. In addition, the cable 11 can reset the wind blade 3 to ensure the symmetry of the installation of the wind blade 3.

[0029] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the outer wall of the wind blade 3 in this embodiment is streamlined, an air inlet is provided on the outer wall of the wind blade 3 and at the rear side of the rotation direction thereof, an inner rib plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wind blade 3, and an inner ridge plate 13 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the inner rib plate 12. There are a plurality of inner ridge plates 13, and the plurality of inner ridge plates 13 are evenly spaced and distributed in a direction away from the air inlet, and the size heights of the plurality of inner ridge plates 13 increase successively in a direction away from the air inlet. The present invention improves the difference between the windward resistance and the leeward resistance of the wind blade 3 by means of the inner rib plates 12 that are spaced and increase in height successively, thereby increasing the power generation efficiency of the wind blade 3. The inner ridge plate 13 and the inner rib plate 12 act as the inner skeleton of the wind blade 3, effectively improving the structural strength of the wind blade 3.

[0030] On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, a plurality of streamline ridges 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wind blade 3 and located opposite to the extension arm 4, and the plurality of streamline ridges 14 are distributed at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. When the wind blade 3 is in operation, air flows through both the upper and lower surfaces of the streamline ridge 14, the air flow velocity above the streamline ridge 14 is faster than that below it, and the pressure above the streamline ridge 14 is lower than that below it, so that the streamline ridge 14 is lifted by the air flow, reducing the load of the wind blade 3 on the generator 1.

[0031] On the basis of the above embodiment, the cable 11 in this embodiment includes a steel cable 18, a low-density polyethylene sleeve 19 covering the steel cable, and a corrugated tube 20 sleeved outside the low-density polyethylene sleeve. The low-density polyethylene sleeve 19 and the corrugated tube 20 protect the steel cable 18 and prevent the steel cable 18 from rusting.

[0032] The present invention can install the steel pipe column 22 in places where the wind direction is changeable, such as mining areas or building exterior walls, and use breezes (wind speed is 3-10m / s) to realize the power generation of the generator 1. In addition, winds with different wind directions and smaller wind volumes can be used to generate electricity. Multiple generators 1 can be connected in series and / or in parallel, and the smaller amount of electricity in each generator 1 can be output as a larger amount of electricity, making the design and utilization more flexible.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
