Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wind power equipment, and in particular, relates to a vertical wind power generation equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of science and technology, the demand for electricity is increasing. Clean energy is gradually entering the market. Currently, the clean energy running on the market is mainly represented by solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation.
[0003] Solar photovoltaic power generation occupies a large area and is inefficient due to factors such as weather changes and static electricity adsorption of dust.
[0004] At present, most wind power generators in operation on the market are large three-blade generators, which have high requirements for wind speed and direction. In order to make full use of wind energy, the blades must be longer and larger, which poses considerable challenges to transportation, installation and maintenance. Wind power generation is the most effective clean energy. How to improve the utilization rate of wind energy, how to obtain high power generation in low wind conditions, how to reduce the volume and floor space, etc., are the problems that wind power generation equipment urgently needs to solve.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN113236480A discloses a wind power generation device that uses an induced draft duct for boosting and compression functions. A fin layer is arranged on the induced draft duct to introduce airflow (wind) into the induced draft duct. The airflow in the induced draft duct drives the blades and generator at the bottom to work, converting wind energy into electrical energy. However, the bottom of the power generation device is prone to poor exhaust, resulting in low power generation efficiency and inability to further utilize low wind speed wind energy of about level three. Summary of the invention

[0012] An air release port is located at the lower end of the air duct, and a cross section of the air release port gradually increases from an end close to the air duct to an end away from the air duct;
[0013] A generator connected to the blades and capable of generating electricity when the blades rotate;
[0014] The skirt is installed at the bottom of the air outlet and can swing under the action of airflow.

[0048] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0049] Example
[0050] This embodiment provides a vertical wind power generation device, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, including:
[0051] The induced air duct 1 is closed at the top and has a plurality of air inlets 11 on the side wall. The induced air duct 1 is in the shape of a circular tube as a whole and is closed at the top by a cover plate 13;
[0052] The fin 2 is a curved surface, the air inlet 11 is arranged between two adjacent fins 2 distributed along the height direction, and the height of the end of the fin 2 away from the fin 2 is higher than the height of the end close to the air inlet 11;
[0053] The blade 3 is arranged inside the air duct 1. Specifically, the air duct 1 has an air chamber 14 at the bottom, and the blade 3 is arranged in the air chamber 14. The air inlet 11 is not arranged on the side wall of the air chamber 14.
[0054] The air outlet 4 is located at the lower end of the air duct 1, and the cross section of the air outlet 4 gradually increases from the end close to the air duct 1 to the end far away from the air duct 1;
[0055] A generator 5 connected to the blade 3 and capable of generating electricity when the blade 3 rotates;
[0056] The skirt 6 is installed at the bottom of the air outlet 4 and can swing under the action of airflow.
[0057] The blades 3 (preferably turbine blades) are connected to the shaft of the generator 5 via a turbine shaft 31. Of course, a coupling 32 is usually provided between the shafts.
[0058] The vertical wind power generation equipment of this embodiment, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the flow process of the airflow in the device is shown. The horizontal airflow F (wind) enters from the inlet of the fin 2, and the airflow f flowing obliquely downward is formed in the fin 2. The airflow f is accelerated in the fin 2 and enters the air duct 1. The multiple air inlets 11 on the side facing the airflow F will collect the airflow into the air duct 1, and a downward pressurized airflow f1 is formed in the upper closed air duct 1, and a compressed airflow f2 is obtained in the wind chamber 14. When the compressed airflow f2 passes through the blade 3, the blade 3 is driven to run quickly. The compressed airflow f2 passes through the blade 3 and reaches the air outlet 4 to form a low-pressure airflow f3 inside the air outlet 4. At the same time, the low-pressure airflow F1 in the horizontal airflow (that is, the airflow blowing horizontally toward the air outlet 4) blows toward the skirt 6. Under the action of the skirt 6, F1 is blocked from entering the air outlet 4, which can prevent interference with the discharge of the low-pressure airflow f3 at the air outlet 4. The internal and external pressure difference formed by the swing of the skirt 6 with the wind makes the discharge of the low-pressure airflow f3 faster and smoother. By forming the acceleration of the fins 2 at the top of the air duct 1, and guiding the airflow discharge through the skirt 6 at the bottom of the air release port 4, the wind energy utilization rate of the equipment of this embodiment is greatly improved, and it can operate reliably even in low wind fields. The equipment of this embodiment can be widely used in wind fields of about level 3.
[0059] Furthermore, the fins 2 are evenly distributed on the side wall along the axial direction and circumferential direction of the air duct 1 to absorb airflow in all directions and adapt to different wind directions. The edges of the fins 2 are rounded to reduce wind resistance.
[0060] Furthermore, a damper 12 is installed at the air inlet 11 , and the damper 12 allows air to enter the air duct 1 and prevents the gas in the air duct 1 from being discharged through the damper 12 .
[0061] Furthermore, the curve formed by the inner wall of the longitudinal section of the fin 2 is an upward convex curve. Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the fin 2 given in the figure corresponds to the inner wall of the longitudinal section of the fin 2. If the horizontal axis is the X-axis and the vertical axis is the Y-axis, the curve formed by the inner wall of the longitudinal section of the fin 2 is an upward concave curve, that is, the tangent line of any point on the curve is above the curve. The length of the longitudinal section of the fin 2 along the width direction gradually increases from the end close to the air duct 1 to the end away from the air duct 1. In other words, the closer the fin 2 is to the outside, the wider it is. In the width direction, the fin 2 is an arch with bottoms on both sides and a high middle. Setting the fin 2 into the above shape can better guide the airflow into the air inlet 11.
[0062] Furthermore, the skirt 6 is made of flexible material installed around the bottom of the air outlet 4, such as nylon cloth or other weather-resistant cloth materials. Specifically, the skirt 6 is a cloth material with folds formed at intervals (that is, the cloth material partially overlaps at intervals), and supports (such as stainless steel metal strips, which are avoided from being arranged in the folded area) are embedded in the cloth material at intervals, and the supports can keep the skirt 6 vertically downward, and can prevent the skirt 6 from being blown up directly when the wind is too strong.
[0063] Furthermore, the generator 5 is arranged in the air outlet 4. The airflow can blow through the generator 5, which can protect the generator 5 from being exposed to the sun and rain, and can also cool the generator.
[0064] Furthermore, it also includes a column 7, and the column 7 is used to support the installation of the air release port 4 and the air duct 1. By setting the column 7, the air release port 4 and the air duct 1 can be installed to a desired height.
[0065] The fin 2 is also supported as a whole by a supporting frame.
[0066] Based on the above ideal embodiments of this application, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this application through the above description. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
