Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbines, and in particular to a hybrid co-disk vertical axis wind turbine based on the Lissajous curve with internal resistance and external lift. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbines are devices that convert energy into electricity. Due to their green and pollution-free energy utilization, countries worldwide have actively promoted their rapid development, leading to a large-scale leap forward in the wind power industry. Wind turbines mainly include two types: horizontal-axis wind turbines and vertical-axis wind turbines. Horizontal-axis wind turbines, due to their high wind energy efficiency, have developed rapidly and are widely used. While vertical-axis wind turbines were the earliest wind turbines to utilize wind energy in China, their development has been relatively slow due to theoretical and technological limitations. However, compared to horizontal-axis wind turbines, vertical-axis wind turbines have many advantages: they are not affected by wind direction, the generator can be placed on the ground, maintenance is simple, the cost is lower, the infrastructure construction period is short, they are not limited by land or sea, they are widely applicable to distributed power generation, and the installed capacity is flexible, better saving manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Considering the randomness and fluctuation of wind, and taking into account regional and climatic factors to maximize the utilization of wind energy, they are attracting increasing attention from researchers, and their application prospects are becoming increasingly broad. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hybrid co-disk vertical axis wind turbine based on the Lissajous curve, which is designed to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A hybrid co-disk vertical axis wind turbine based on the Lissajous curve includes a tower and drag blades for rotating under low wind pressure and lift blades for rotating under high wind pressure. A tower base is installed at the bottom of the tower, and an installation plate is installed at the top of the tower. Lift blades are installed on the outer circumference of the installation plate via support rods. The upper end of the installation plate is connected to the inner rotor of a disc generator. The upper outer rotor of the disc generator is connected to an outer shaft. The outer shaft has a hollow structure inside, and an inner shaft is arranged along the axis inside the outer shaft. The bottom of the inner shaft is connected to the inner rotor of the disc generator. Drag blades are installed on the outer shaft. Small wing friction discs are installed on the outer shaft near the top outer circumference. Grooves are formed on the outer shaft to restrict the up-and-down sliding of the small wing friction discs. The small wing friction discs are slidably connected to the outer shaft via splines. Small winglets are formed on the outside of the small wing friction discs. An inner shaft friction disc is installed at the top of the inner shaft, corresponding to the top of the small wing friction discs.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting plate is stepped shaft-shaped, with a narrow end at the bottom, and the narrow end of the mounting plate is inserted into the tower. The narrow end of the mounting plate is engaged with the tower through a first bearing.
[0007] This setting ensures the stability of the installation disk.
[0008] Preferably, the outer shaft is fitted with the inner shaft via a second bearing.
[0009] This configuration utilizes a second bearing to reduce vibration while preventing friction from affecting rotation.
[0010] Preferred configuration: The inner shaft is fixed to the inner shaft friction disc and the inner rotor of the disc generator.
[0011] This configuration ensures the transfer of kinetic energy.
[0012] Preferably, the lift blades, drag blades, and winglets have the same rotation direction, the drag blades are helical, and the helical shape of the drag blades is a Lissajous curve shape.
[0013] This configuration ensures consistent rotation direction at both low and high wind speeds, thus guaranteeing power generation efficiency.
[0014] Preferred configuration: Support rods are used to secure the lifting blades and mounting plate.
[0015] Preferably, the top of the small wing friction disk and the bottom of the inner shaft friction disk are both programmed with friction textures.
[0016] This configuration increases the friction force through the friction texture, thereby improving the effect of the small wing friction disk driving the inner shaft friction disk.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0018] This device, based on the Lissajous curve, consists of drag blades rotating around the outer axis and linear airfoil lift blades rotating around the inner axis. Combining these two types of vertical axis wind turbine blades compensates for their respective advantages and disadvantages. The drag blades enable the wind turbine to generate electricity at low wind speeds, while the lift blades maximize its power generation at high wind speeds. Furthermore, when the wind speed reaches near the critical operating point of the lift blades, the drag unit can act as a starter for the lift blades via a friction disk, further improving the aerodynamic characteristics and power generation performance of the wind turbine. The inner disk generator impeller, based on the Lissajous function, is obtained using a vertical axis wind turbine blade generation method suitable for low wind speeds, multiple wind directions, and various application scenarios. Additionally, the wind turbine's main shaft is a dual-shaft design, with the inner shaft connected to the inner rotor of a disc generator and the outer shaft connected to the outer rotor of the disc generator.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a hybrid co-disk vertical axis wind turbine based on the Lissajous curve includes a tower 2 and drag blades 8 for rotating under low wind pressure and lift blades 3 for rotating under high wind pressure. A tower base 1 is installed at the bottom of the tower 2, and a mounting plate 6 is installed at the top of the tower 2. The lift blades 3 are mounted on the outer surface of the mounting plate 6 via support rods 4. The inner rotor of a disc generator 7 is connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 6, and the outer rotor of the disc generator 7 is connected to an outer shaft 10. The outer shaft 10 has a hollow internal structure. An inner shaft 9 is arranged along the axis inside the outer shaft 10. The bottom of the inner shaft 9 is connected to the inner rotor of the disc generator 7. The outer shaft 10 is equipped with resistance blades 8. A small wing friction disk 12 is installed on the outer shaft 10 near the top outer circle. A groove is formed on the outer shaft 10 to restrict the up and down sliding of the small wing friction disk 12. The small wing friction disk 12 is slidably connected to the outer shaft 10 through a spline. A small wing 13 is formed on the outside of the small wing friction disk 12. An inner shaft friction disk 14 is installed at the top of the inner shaft 9. The inner shaft friction disk 14 corresponds to the top of the small wing friction disk 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 6 is in the shape of a stepped shaft, and the bottom of the mounting plate 6 is narrow. The narrow end of the mounting plate 6 is inserted into the tower cylinder 2. The tower cylinder 2 is connected to the narrow end of the mounting plate 6 through the first bearing 5 to ensure the stability of the mounting plate 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner shaft 9 is engaged by a second bearing 11 inside the outer shaft 10. The second bearing 11 is used to reduce vibration and avoid friction affecting rotation.
[0032] In this embodiment, the inner shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the inner shaft friction disk 14 and the inner rotor of the disc generator 7 to ensure kinetic energy transmission.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting blade 3, the drag blade 8, and the winglet 13 have the same rotation direction. The drag blade 8 is helical, and the helical shape of the drag blade 8 is a Lissajous curve shape, which ensures that the rotation direction is consistent at low and high wind speeds, thus ensuring power generation efficiency.
[0034] In this embodiment, the support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting blade 3 and the mounting plate 6.
[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the wing friction disk 12 and the bottom of the inner shaft friction disk 14 are both programmed with friction patterns. The friction patterns increase the cooperating friction force and improve the effect of the wing friction disk 12 driving the inner shaft friction disk 14.
[0036] Working principle: When the ambient wind speed is lower than the working range of the lifting blade 3, the lifting blade 3 does not work, that is, the rotor inside the disc generator 7 does not rotate. At this time, since the wind speed is within the working range of the drag blade 8, the drag blade 8 drives the outer shaft 10 to rotate. The outer shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the outer rotor of the disc generator 7, so the disc generator 7 is in the power generation state. The groove at the top of the outer shaft 10 drives the small wing 13 to rotate.
[0037] The winglet 13 has a certain installation angle, so the lift generated by the winglet 13 during rotation is the same as that of a helicopter. When the rotational speed of the outer shaft 10 increases, the lift increases, and the winglet 13 drives the winglet friction disk 12 to rise along the groove of the outer shaft 10. When the ambient wind speed increases to a certain level, approaching the working wind speed of the lifting blade 3, the lift of the winglet 13 has already raised the winglet friction disk 12 to contact the inner shaft friction disk 14, and there is a certain pressure. The airfoil parameters are designed according to the starting wind speed of the lifting blade 3. Therefore, at this time, the drag blade 8 relies on the winglet friction disk 12 to apply friction to the inner shaft friction disk 14, providing a certain torque for the operation of the lifting blade 3, reducing the starting wind speed of the lifting blade 3, and the lifting blade 3 begins to rotate, driving the inner rotor of the disc generator 7 to rotate. At this time, due to the operation of the lifting blade 3, the wind energy absorbed by the drag blade 8 gradually decreases, the lift of the winglet 13 decreases, and the winglet friction disk 12 gradually falls back to the bottom of the groove of the outer shaft 10. As the drag blade 8 gradually stops rotating, the design transforms the wind turbine from a drag-type to a lift-type turbine, enabling it to generate electricity over a wide range and increasing power output.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
