Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.
[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
[0029] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1-5This embodiment describes a fixed energy-self-sustaining water lifting device, which includes a fixed pile foundation 1 and a platform 2. The lower part of the platform 2 is connected to one end of the fixed pile foundation 1. The platform 2 serves as the main body of the device, providing the installation foundation for other parts. The other end of the fixed pile foundation 1 is anchored to the pile foundation at the bottom of the water to provide stability for the device. It also includes a vertical axis turbine generator array 4, a power generation auxiliary facility 5, and a water lifting system 7. One end of the vertical axis turbine generator array 4 is located at the lower part of the platform 2 and is in the water. The other end of the vertical axis turbine generator array 4 passes through the platform 2 and is connected to the power generation auxiliary facility 5 on the platform 2. The platform 2 is equipped with a water lifting system 7, which is connected to the power generation auxiliary facility 5.
[0030] The vertical axis turbine power generation array 4 includes several vertical axis turbines, each comprising a turbine 401 and a vertical axis 402. The turbine 401 and vertical axis 402 are coaxially and fixedly connected, with the vertical axis 402 perpendicular to the platform. The turbine 401 of the vertical axis turbine is placed in the water, and the vertical axis 402 is connected to the power generation auxiliary facility 5. The turbine 401 of the vertical axis turbine power generation array 4 is positioned below the platform 2 to capture water flow energy. This invention adopts an all-weather energy self-sufficiency design. Through the power supply design of the vertical axis power generation array, it can achieve all-weather, all-time, and environmentally friendly energy supply to meet the needs of high-power, large-volume green agricultural water lifting operations, realizing self-sufficient operation of water lifting operations.
[0031] The four vertical-axis turbines are arranged in a diamond shape, such as... Figure 5 In the middle, the distance between the vertical axis turbines arranged on the left and right is greater than the distance between the vertical axis turbines arranged vertically. The blades of the vertical axis turbines on the right and lower sides are narrower at the front and wider at the back in the counterclockwise direction, while the blades of the vertical axis turbines on the left and upper sides are narrower at the front and wider at the back in the clockwise direction. The vertical axis turbines on the left and right sides are installed on the same straight line as the tip of platform 2. With this arrangement, a higher overall power generation efficiency of the array can be achieved when the wake effect is small.
[0032] The power generation auxiliary facility 5 uses four sets of 500W AC motors. The outer shell (stator) of the power generation auxiliary facility 5 is fixedly connected to the platform 2. The rotor of the power generation auxiliary facility 5 is connected to the vertical shaft 402. The winding on the rotor is driven by the vertical shaft 402 to cut the magnetic field lines. The AC motors will collect the converted electrical energy and output it to the central unified output (battery) to the water pumping system. The power generation auxiliary facility 5 is installed on the platform 2 and is responsible for converting the water flow energy captured by the vertical shaft turbine 4 into electrical energy.
[0033] The water lifting system 7 includes a debris barrier 701, an inlet pipe 702, a water pump 703, and an outlet pipe 704. The water pump 703 is fixedly installed on the platform 2. The output end of the water pump 703 is connected to one end of the outlet pipe 704, and the other end of the outlet pipe 704 extends to the outside of the platform 2 to deliver water to nearby farmland and other water-using areas. The input end of the water pump 703 is connected to the upper end of the inlet pipe 702. The debris barrier 701 is set at the lower end of the inlet pipe 702. The debris barrier 701 can be a pipe filter screen.
[0034] The water lifting system 7 consists of two sets, which can achieve greater water lifting power and efficiency compared to a single unit. The output ends of the water pumps 703 of the two sets of water lifting systems 7 are connected. The water lifting system design adopts two high-power water pumps + two inlet water pipes. Relying on the sufficient energy supply of the vertical axis power generation array, it can meet the needs of high-efficiency and large-volume agricultural water lifting and irrigation operations. The water lifting system 7 and the water turbine 401 are located on the front and rear sides of the platform, respectively. The debris outlet 701 is located on the horizontal plane in the middle of the water turbine 401. When the water pump 703 pumps water for irrigation, the water pressure at the inlet pipe 702 is reduced, so that the nearby water flows to the low pressure area, which accelerates the water flow speed and increases the rotation speed of the water turbine 401. It not only uses the vertical axis water turbine power generation array 4 for energy-self-sustaining pumping and irrigation, but also increases the power generation capacity of the vertical axis water turbine power generation array 4 when pumping water.
[0035] It also includes a meteorological and hydrological level monitoring module 8 and a water pumping automatic control module 9. The meteorological and hydrological level monitoring module 8, the water pumping automatic control module 9, the water pump 703, and the power generation auxiliary facility 5 are electrically connected. The water pumping automatic control module 9 is electrically connected to the water pump 703, and the meteorological and hydrological level monitoring module 8 is electrically connected to the water pumping automatic control module 9. The water pumping automatic control module 9 automatically adjusts the power of the water pumping system 7 based on the operating environment information transmitted from the meteorological and hydrological level monitoring module 8. In a specific implementation example, when the temperature rises, the meteorological and hydrological monitoring module (meteorological and hydrological level monitoring module 8) outputs information to the water pumping automatic control module 9, and the water pumping automatic control module sends a signal to the water pump 703 to increase the pumping power. When precipitation is detected, the meteorological and hydrological monitoring module outputs information to the water pumping automatic control module, and the water pumping automatic control module sends a signal to the water pump to reduce the pumping power. When extreme weather conditions are detected, the meteorological and hydrological monitoring module outputs information to the water pumping automatic control module, and the water pumping automatic control module sends a signal to stop the pumping operation.
[0036] The meteorological and water level monitoring module 8 includes a miniature weather station 801 and a water level sensing module 802. Alarms are triggered by the water-lifting self-control module. Specifically, the meteorological and water level monitoring module monitors meteorological and hydrological information and outputs this information to the water-lifting self-control module. The miniature weather station 801, fixed on the upper part of the platform 2, is electrically connected to the underwater water level sensing module 802. Based on an intelligent control module design, this invention allows users to monitor the application environment of the self-contained water-lifting device around the clock through the collaborative work of the meteorological and hydrological monitoring module and the water-lifting self-control module. It also autonomously alerts users in extreme environments that may damage the water-lifting device. Furthermore, it allows the water-lifting device to select appropriate lifting power when facing different climatic conditions and water-lifting operation requirements, achieving automated, intelligent, and green water-lifting operations.
[0037] It also includes an elastic connection structure 3, which is a columnar structure with internal elastic damping. The principle of water level change is that the platform changes with the water level. The elastic structure ensures a stable connection with the platform and the fixed device based on its own elastic energy. The fixed piles 1 and the platform 2 are connected by the elastic connection structure 3. There are four fixed piles 1, which are evenly distributed under the platform 2. Each fixed pile 1 is provided with one elastic connection structure 3. The elastic connection structure 3 is set between the platform 2 and the fixed piles 1 to connect the platform 2 and the fixed piles 1.
[0038] It also includes a debris barrier net 6, which is fixedly installed at the tip of the platform 2. The debris barrier net 6 has two symmetrical L-shaped designs and is connected to the platform 2 by connecting rods. The purpose of the platform 2 is to prevent debris in the water flow from interfering with the power generation device and to reduce the flow velocity loss of the water flow as it passes through the barrier net. The debris barrier net 6 is placed in front of the platform 2 and is connected to the platform 2 by connecting rods. Its purpose is to prevent debris in the water flow from interfering with the power generation device.
[0039] During operation, the invention relies on platform 2 and fixed pile foundation 1 to maintain stability on the water surface. The fixed pile foundation 1 is anchored to the bottom of the water to provide stability for the device. The vertical axis turbine generator array 4 is arranged below platform 2 to capture water flow energy and converts the captured water flow energy into electrical energy through the power generation auxiliary facilities 5 arranged on platform 2. As the water level changes, the elastic connection structure 3 allows the vertical axis turbine generator array 4 to automatically adjust with the water level. The vertical axis turbine generator array 4 adjusts with the water level by changing the relative position of the fixed pile foundation 1 and platform 2, which facilitates operation. The platform position changes with the water level, which simultaneously drives the generator array to achieve automatic adjustment of the water level. The debris blocking net 6 is arranged in front of the generator array 4 to separate debris in the water flow.
[0040] The water lifting system 7 obtains power supply through the power generation auxiliary facility 5 and is automatically controlled by the water lifting self-control module 9 to drive the two high-power water pumps 703 on the platform to carry out water lifting operations. The water flow is lifted to the platform 2 through the debris blockage outlet 701 and the inlet pipe 702, and then transported to the water use area through the outlet pipe 704.
[0041] The meteorological and water level monitoring module 8 monitors climate and hydrological conditions in real time through the micro weather station 801 and the water level sensing module 802, and automatically alerts the user when environmental factors exceed the warning line.
[0042] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, as long as the technical solutions are not contradictory, they can be permuted and combined. Those skilled in the art can exhaust all possibilities based on the mathematical knowledge of permutation and combination. Therefore, the present invention will not describe the technical solutions after permutation and combination one by one, but it should be understood that the technical solutions after permutation and combination have been disclosed by the present invention.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
