AI Technical Summary
The blades of existing vertical axis wind turbines cannot completely overcome wind resistance, resulting in lower power output than horizontal axis wind turbines. They are also prone to overload operation in strong winds, causing equipment damage. Existing limit devices are unreliable and inconvenient to use.
The system employs a limiting mechanism, which consists of a support, turntable, limiting body, rotating stop, slide bar, and tension spring. Through the transmission mechanism, the blades are allowed to rotate freely within a 360° range in strong winds and return to their normal working position in weak winds. The system also utilizes a counterweight and ball linear bearings to improve reliability and ease of use.
It achieves reliable blade protection under strong wind conditions, avoids equipment damage, and automatically resumes operation after the wind speed returns to normal, improving the reliability and ease of use of the vertical axis wind turbine.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbines, in particular to the technical field of vertical axis wind turbines. Background Art
[0002] Blades are the devices that convert wind energy into mechanical energy. Parameters such as the structure, shape, and size of the blades directly affect the efficiency and power of a wind turbine. Currently, high-power wind turbines are still dominated by three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines, while the power of vertical-axis wind turbines cannot yet reach the same level as horizontal-axis wind turbines. One of the main reasons for this disparity is that the blades currently used in vertical-axis wind turbines cannot fully overcome wind resistance. Furthermore, due to the uncertainty of wind speed, strong winds often cause wind turbines to overload and damage the generator. Currently, when encountering strong winds, the main method used is to stop the turbine. Adding a parking device increases the complexity and cost of the wind turbine.
[0003] The application number is CN200910071740.3, which is a limit unloading device for movable blades on a vertical axis wind turbine. It consists of a limit block, a limit seat, two pawls, an iron block, an electromagnet, two connecting rods, an angular contact ball bearing, two connecting pieces, a telescopic shaft and a limit baffle. During normal operation of the vertical axis wind turbine, the iron block is kept at the top position of the axial magnet slot by the action of a spring in the shell, the pawl is lifted up by the action of the connecting rod, and the limit baffle on the lower end face of the limit block is restricted between the inner end faces of the two pawls, so that the blade can only rotate within a range of degrees; in case of strong wind, the electromagnet When the magnet is energized, the iron block moves downward under the attraction of the electromagnet, and the pawl is driven by the connecting rod to a low position. The limit baffle on the lower end face of the limit block is no longer restricted by the two pawls, and the blades can rotate freely within 360 degrees to achieve the effect of unloading protection. When the wind speed returns to normal, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the iron block returns to the top position of the magnet slot under the action of the spring in the housing. The pawl is lifted up by the connecting rod. When the limit baffle on the lower end face of the limit block rotates to the outer end face position of the pawl, the pawl is squeezed by the connecting rod to the spring in the housing and moves downward, and the limit block returns to the working position, allowing the blades to resume operation. Since the iron block is driven by an electromagnet, it is inevitable that it will fail during use, resulting in poor reliability. In addition, during actual operation, since the electromagnet rotates with the limit seat, it is inconvenient to connect the electromagnet power supply, making it inconvenient to use.
