The blades rotate in response to wind power, generating electricity and rotating the generator head. A wind turbine generator power source comprises the wind turbine, a tower supporting the turbine, a battery charge controller, an inverter, an unloader, a grid connection controller, and a battery pack. The wind turbine blades are an essential component of the wind turbine generator.

In addition, a single wind turbine blade cannot quickly capture wind energy, and the airflow in the air cannot be quickly concentrated on the wind turbine blade. Therefore, the present invention proposes a surge-reducing and low-noise wind turbine blade with adjustable blade angle to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The adjustment component includes a driving shaft 9 rotatably installed inside the driving cavity 5, and a driving bevel gear 10 is fixedly installed on the driving shaft 9. The inner side surface of the driving cavity 5 is rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 11, and one end of the connecting shaft 11 is fixedly installed with a driven bevel gear 12. The other end of the connecting shaft 11 passes through the hub body 1 and is fixedly connected to the wind turbine blade 6. The driving bevel gear 10 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 12. A driving motor 13 is fixedly installed inside the power supply cavity 3. The end of the driving shaft 9 away from the driving bevel gear 10 passes through the mounting cavity 4 and extends to the interior of the power supply cavity 3, and is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 13. An inclined through hole can be opened on the side surface of the hub body 1, and the power supply cavity 3 is connected to the outside world through the through hole. The inclined through hole is used to facilitate the removal of heat generated by the driving motor 13 to ensure the normal operation of the drive motor 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, the notch 8 on the wind turbine blade 6 can reduce the noise generated when the airflow cuts the blade edge. At the same time, the drive shaft 9 is driven to rotate by the motor, and the active bevel gear 10 on the drive shaft 9 and the driven bevel gear 12 on the connecting shaft 11 are used in conjunction with each other. The angle of the wind turbine blade 6 is adjusted through the connecting shaft 11, and then the windward angle of the wind turbine blade 6 is adjusted, thereby optimizing its performance under different wind speeds and wind directions, and enhancing the adaptability of the generator blades under different environmental conditions.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] See also Figure 1-9On the basis of embodiment 1, a linkage component is provided inside the mounting cavity 4, and a guide component is provided on the linkage component. The airflow is concentrated on the wind turbine blade 6 through the guide component. The guide component includes a mounting groove 20 provided on the two end faces of the mounting plate 18. The guide blade 21 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting groove 20. The inner edge of the guide blade 21 is provided with a guide slope 22. A connecting spring 23 is fixedly connected between the two guide blades 21. The number of the connecting springs 23 can be installed according to the needs of personnel, and the position of the connecting spring 23 is installed at the top position of the two guide blades 21 to ensure that the connecting spring 23 can Pull the two guide blades 21 inward, and an electric push rod 24 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 18. The output shaft of the electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the adjusting arc block 25. The inner sides of the two guide blades 21 are fixedly installed with tilting blocks 26. The adjusting arc block 25 is slidably connected to the tilting blocks 26. When the adjusting arc block 25 rises, the two guide blades 21 will be expanded outward through the tilting blocks 26. When the adjusting arc block 25 descends, the two tilting blocks 26 will rotate inward by the tension of the connecting tension spring 23. The friction between the adjusting arc block 25 and the tilting block 26 is small, ensuring that the adjusting arc block 25 can slide between the two tilting blocks 26.

[0036] In this embodiment, the two guide blades 21 rotate synchronously with the wind turbine blades 6, and the guide slopes 22 on the two guide blades 21 are used to facilitate the concentration of the airflow on the wind turbine blades 6. The electric push rod 24 drives the arc block 25 to rise and fall, and the tilting block 26 can be used to adjust the opening of the two guide blades 21, effectively improving the flow characteristics of the airflow on the blade surface, increasing lift, and reducing noise, thereby improving the use effect of the wind turbine blade 6.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] See also Figure 1-9On the basis of the second embodiment, the linkage assembly includes a polygonal cam 14 fixedly mounted on the driving shaft 9 and an arc-shaped top block 15 slidably connected to the inside of the mounting cavity 4, a positioning bearing 16 is fixedly mounted on the arc-shaped top block 15, a screw rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the positioning bearing 16, the end of the screw rod 17 away from the positioning bearing 16 passes through the hub body 1 and is fixedly mounted with a mounting plate 18, a return spring 19 is fixedly mounted on the arc-shaped top block 15, and the end of the return spring 19 away from the arc-shaped top block 15 is fixedly connected to Inside the mounting cavity 4, the position of the reset spring 19 is on the outside of the spiral rod 17, and the spiral rod 17 is movably connected to the hub body 1, wherein the friction between the polygonal cam 14 and the arc-shaped top block 15 is small, and the inner side surface of the polygonal cam 14 is an arc-shaped surface, ensuring that when the polygonal cam 14 rotates, the arc-shaped top block 15 between the convex corners can utilize the limit of the mounting cavity 4 and be in an ascending state. At the same time, the friction between the mounting cavity 4 and the arc-shaped top block 15 is small, ensuring the stability of the arc-shaped top block 15 during lifting and lowering.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the driving shaft 9 rotates, the driving shaft 9 will synchronously drive the polygonal cam 14 to rotate. When the polygonal cam 14 rotates, the arc-shaped top block 15 will be lifted up. When the arc-shaped top block 15 is lifted up, it will drive the screw rod 17 to rotate through the positioning bearing 16. When the screw rod 17 rotates, it will adjust the angle of the guide blade 21 through the installation plate 18 to ensure that the angle of the guide blade 21 is the same as the angle of the wind turbine blade 6, thereby ensuring that the guide blade 21 effectively guides the airflow.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] When in use, the notch 8 on the wind turbine blade 6 can reduce the noise generated when the airflow cuts the blade edge. At the same time, the motor drives the drive shaft 9 to rotate, and the active bevel gear 10 on the drive shaft 9 and the driven bevel gear 12 on the connecting shaft 11 are used in conjunction with each other. The connecting shaft 11 is used to adjust the angle of the wind turbine blade 6, and then the windward angle of the wind turbine blade 6 is adjusted, thereby optimizing its performance under different wind speeds and wind directions, and enhancing the adaptability of the generator blades to different environmental conditions.

[0042] The two guide blades 21 rotate synchronously with the wind turbine blades 6, and the guide slopes 22 on the two guide blades 21 are used to concentrate the airflow on the wind turbine blades 6. The electric push rod 24 drives the adjustment arc block 25 to rise and fall. When the adjustment arc block 25 rises, the two guide blades 21 will be spread outward through the tilting block 26. When the adjustment arc block 25 falls, the two tilting blocks 26 will be rotated inward by the tension of the connecting tension spring 23. The tilting block 26 can be used to adjust the opening of the two guide blades 21, effectively improving the flow characteristics of the airflow on the blade surface, increasing lift, and reducing noise, thereby improving the use effect of the wind turbine blade 6;

[0043] When the driving shaft 9 rotates, the driving shaft 9 will synchronously drive the polygonal cam 14 to rotate. When the polygonal cam 14 rotates, the arc-shaped top block 15 will be lifted up. When the arc-shaped top block 15 is lifted up, it will drive the screw rod 17 to rotate through the positioning bearing 16. When the screw rod 17 rotates, it will adjust the angle of the guide blade 21 through the installation plate 18 to ensure that the angle of the guide blade 21 is the same as the angle of the wind turbine blade 6, ensuring that the guide blade 21 effectively guides the airflow.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0045] While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
