Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of generator technology, and more specifically to a wide-range linear-rotary multi-port generator based on sea conditions. Background Technology

[0002] Because waves have low vertical velocity and high thrust, traditional direct-drive wave generators suffer from low linear velocity, numerous poles, large size, low power density, and high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, due to significant regional, climatic, and seasonal variations in wave energy, the captureable wave power output fluctuates frequently. Traditional direct-drive wave generators have limited adjustment methods, a narrow power capture range, and low wave utilization, resulting in a large amount of wave energy remaining uncaptured and unconverted, leading to very low overall system energy conversion efficiency. As an effective means to improve generator power density, significantly increasing the generator's rotational speed can effectively enhance its power density.

[0003] Based on the above, the problems existing in the prior art are: the mechanical speed of direct-drive wave generators is low, the power density is low, and at the same time, the wave capture range of existing direct-drive wave generators is narrow, the adjustment mode to cope with different sea conditions is limited, and the wave energy utilization rate is low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a wide-range linear-rotary multi-port generator based on sea conditions. While ensuring reliability and economy, it solves the problem of low power density of direct-drive wave generators, and also solves the problem of low system efficiency caused by the narrow power capture range of existing power generation systems in response to different sea conditions.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A wide-range linear-rotary multi-port generator based on sea state mainly consists of a field-modulated magnetic screw and a generator, including a field-modulated magnetic screw, a generator, a stator, rotor I, rotor II, stator II, a DC excitation winding, a generator winding I, rotor core I, rotor core II, generator winding II, rotor I-axially magnetized permanent magnet, rotor I-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet, a shaft, bearings, connecting rods, rotor II-axially magnetized permanent magnet, and rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the stator I slot contains two sets of windings, the lower winding is a DC excitation winding, the upper winding is a generator winding I, the rotor I is rigidly connected to the shaft through a connecting rod, the rotor II is connected to the shaft through a bearing, and the stator II slot contains a generator winding II.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rotor core I is made of a high-permeability material such as DT4C. Rotor I-axial magnetized permanent magnets and rotor I-tangential magnetized permanent magnets are arranged between the rotor cores I. Each rotor I-axial magnetized permanent magnet and two rotor I-tangential magnetized permanent magnets form one pole of rotor I. This arrangement can enhance the air gap magnetic flux density between the stator I and rotor II adjacent to rotor I. The number of teeth of rotor core I is equal to the number of poles of rotor I. The rotor II-axial magnetized permanent magnets and rotor II-tangential magnetized permanent magnets are staggered to enhance the air gap magnetic flux density on both sides of rotor II. The number of poles of rotor II-axial magnetized permanent magnets and rotor II-tangential magnetized permanent magnets is equal.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the sum of the number of pole pairs of the excitation magnetic field generated by the DC excitation winding and the number of pole pairs of the magnetic field generated by the rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet is equal to the number of teeth of the rotor core I, forming an electrically excited magnetic gear. Since the number of pole pairs of the magnetic field generated by the rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet is less than the number of teeth of the rotor core I, according to the principle of magnetic field modulation, the rotational speed of rotor II is greater than the rotational speed of rotor I, further improving the power density of the generator. Depending on different sea conditions, the power transmission capability of the magnetic gear is changed by altering the magnitude of the current flowing through the DC excitation winding in real time.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rotor I rotates at the same speed as the shaft. When the rotor I rotates, the axially magnetized permanent magnet of the rotor I generates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the power generation winding I. The power generation winding I is the first power generation port. The rotor II can rotate relative to the shaft. When the rotor II rotates, the axially magnetized permanent magnet of the rotor II generates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the power generation winding II. The power generation winding II is the second power generation port.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the wide-range linear-rotating multi-port generator based on sea conditions has the following characteristics: when the waves are small, there is no current in the DC excitation winding, rotor I and the shaft rotate, rotor II does not rotate, and only the generating winding I outputs electrical energy; as the waves gradually increase, the current in the DC excitation winding gradually increases, and rotor II begins to rotate. As the current in the DC excitation winding increases, the torque of rotor II increases, and the power output of the generating winding II gradually increases. The magnitude of the current flowing through the DC excitation winding can be adjusted in real time according to the sea conditions to enable the generator to achieve the optimal wave capture state.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0013] 1. This invention proposes a linear-rotary controllable multi-port axial flux generator for wave power generation. First, a field-modulated magnetic lead screw converts low-speed linear motion into high-speed rotary motion. Compared with traditional linear motors, this invention improves the generator's power density and output stability. Furthermore, the permanent magnets on rotors I and II are Halbach-magnetized, increasing the air gap magnetic flux density and further enhancing the generator's power density and the maximum power transmission capacity of the magnetic gears, which has significant implications and practical value.

[0014] 2. The motor part of this invention controls the second power generation port through an electrically excited magnetic gear. It controls the magnitude of the current flowing through the DC excitation winding in real time according to the sea conditions, changes the strength of the excitation magnetic field, and thus changes the power transmission capability of the magnetic gear. This expands the effective working area of ​​the generator, improves the device's ability to capture waves, and further enhances the energy conversion efficiency and adaptability of the wave power generation system to wave conditions.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the appendix... Figure 1-9 This application will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0031] Example: See Figures 1 to 9 This embodiment describes a wide-range linear-rotary multi-port generator based on sea conditions.

[0032] The aforementioned wide-range linear-rotary multi-port generator based on sea state includes a magnetic field modulated magnetic screw 1, a generator 2, a stator I3, a rotor I4, a rotor II5, a stator II6, a DC excitation winding 7, a generator winding I8, a rotor core I9, a rotor core II 10, a generator winding II 11, a rotor I-axially magnetized permanent magnet 12, a rotor I-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 13, a shaft 14, a bearing 15, a connecting rod 16, a rotor II-axially magnetized permanent magnet 17, and a rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 18.

[0033] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 1 The magnetic field modulated magnetic screw 1 can convert low-speed linear motion into high-speed rotational motion, and transmit mechanical energy to the generator 2 through the rotating shaft 14.

[0034] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 The aforementioned wide-range linear-rotating multi-port generator based on sea conditions mainly includes stator I3, rotor I4, rotor II5 and stator II6.

[0035] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stator I3 slot contains two sets of windings: the lower winding is the DC excitation winding 7, and the upper winding is the generator winding I8.

[0036] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 4 The rotor core I9 is ​​made of a high-permeability material such as electrical steel DT4C. Rotor I-axial magnetized permanent magnets 12 and rotor I-tangential magnetized permanent magnets 13 are arranged between the rotor cores I9. Each rotor I-axial magnetized permanent magnet 12 and two rotor I-tangential magnetized permanent magnets 13 form one pole of rotor I4. This arrangement can enhance the air gap magnetic flux density between the stator I3 and rotor II5 adjacent to rotor I4. The number of teeth of rotor core I9 is ​​equal to the number of poles of rotor I4.

[0037] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The rotor I4 is rigidly connected to the shaft 14 via a connecting rod 16, the rotor II5 is connected to the shaft 14 via a bearing 15, and the stator II6 slot contains the generator winding II11.

[0038] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 The rotor II-axially magnetized permanent magnet 17 and rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 18 are arranged in a staggered manner to enhance the air gap magnetic flux density on both sides of rotor II5. The axially magnetized permanent magnet 17 and rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 18 have the same number of poles.

[0039] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 6 The sum of the number of pole pairs of the excitation magnetic field generated by the DC excitation winding 7 and the number of pole pairs of the magnetic field generated by the rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 18 is equal to the number of teeth of the rotor core I9, forming an electrically excited magnetic gear. Since the number of pole pairs of the magnetic field generated by the rotor II-tangentially magnetized permanent magnet 18 is less than the number of teeth of the rotor core I9, according to the magnetic field modulation principle, the rotational speed of rotor II5 is greater than the rotational speed of rotor I4, further improving the power density of the generator. The power transmission capability of the magnetic gear is adjusted in real time by changing the current flowing through the DC excitation winding 7 according to different sea conditions.

[0040] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The rotor I4 rotates at the same speed as the shaft 14. When the rotor I4 rotates, the axially magnetized permanent magnet 12 of the rotor I generates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the power generation winding I8. The power generation winding I8 is the first power generation port. The rotor II5 can rotate relative to the shaft 14. When the rotor II5 rotates, the axially magnetized permanent magnet 17 of the rotor II generates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the power generation winding II11. The power generation winding II11 is the second power generation port.

[0041] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 and Figure 6The aforementioned wide-range linear-rotating multi-port generator based on sea conditions has the following characteristics: When the waves are small, there is no current in the DC excitation winding 7, the rotor I4 and shaft 14 rotate, the rotor II5 does not rotate, and only the generating winding I8 outputs electrical energy. As the waves gradually increase, the current in the DC excitation winding 7 gradually increases, and the rotor II5 begins to rotate. As the current in the DC excitation winding 7 increases, the torque of the rotor II5 increases, and the power output of the generating winding II11 gradually increases. The magnitude of the current flowing through the DC excitation winding 7 can be adjusted in real time according to the sea conditions, so that the generator 2 reaches the optimal wave capture state.

[0042] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As the DC excitation current flowing through the DC excitation winding 7 gradually increases, the static torque amplitude of rotors I4 and II5 gradually increases, the maximum mechanical power that rotor II5 can transmit gradually increases, and the maximum power that generator winding II11 can output gradually increases.

[0043] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The rotor I4 can also be adopted Figure 7 The other three structures are shown.

[0044] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 6 The rotor I4 has 12 slots, and the rotor I-axially magnetized permanent magnet 12 has 10 poles, forming a 12-slot / 10-pole structure.

[0045] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 6 The DC excitation winding 7 generates a 6-pole excitation magnetic field, the rotor core I9 has 10 teeth, and the rotor II-tangential magnetized permanent magnet 18 has a total of 4 poles.

[0046] Additionally, according to one implementation method, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 6 The stator II6 has 12 slots, and the rotor II-axially magnetized permanent magnet 17 has 8 poles, forming a 12-slot / 8-pole structure.
