Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a tidal current or river current power generation device, in particular to a generator device capable of utilizing tidal current or river current to realize power supply, and belongs to the technical field of hydroelectric power generation devices. BACKGROUND

[0002] Compared with wind energy and solar energy, tidal current energy has higher energy density, about 4 times of wind energy and 30 times of solar energy, has rich reserves and great development prospects, and has forms of tidal energy and tidal current energy. The main form is that the gradient difference caused by many factors converts kinetic energy into other forms of energy, which is relatively stable. Although the scale of river current energy is relatively small, it also has the advantages of being renewable and environmentally friendly. River current energy mainly comes from the flow of rivers, inland lakes and reservoirs. Similar to tidal current energy, its energy mainly comes from the kinetic energy and potential energy of water flow. The kinetic energy and potential energy are converted into other forms of energy.

[0003] In recent years, a large number of tidal current power generation devices have appeared, mainly including floating type and fixed type. The floating type mainly adjusts the geometric angle of attack of the device according to the flow state of the wave flow to obtain higher power generation efficiency, but the floating cylinder located on the waterway has a great influence on navigation, and there are factors such as power transmission, operation and maintenance inconvenience. The fixed type mainly connects the base and the power generation device through a column, but the column is mostly an integral structure, without considering the rotation support of the power generation device, and the column flow surface is smooth, without considering the structural fatigue and resonance vibration caused by the periodic shedding of the Karman vortex street. In addition, in order to obtain higher power generation efficiency, a flow guide tail is fixedly arranged at the tail of the generator, which is similar in form to the tail rudder of a wind turbine, and is generally a combination of a long slender rod and a rudder, so as to adjust the flow direction of the generator group according to the included angle between the incoming flow and the generator group. However, the density of water is larger than that of air, and the single long slender rod connected with the rudder is easy to break. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a self-adaptive spiral flow power generation device with damping vortex line, which has simple structure, good reliability and high power generation efficiency.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application discloses a self-adaptive spiral flow power generation device with damping vortex line.

[0012] the generator set, which is located in the diffusion section of the fairing;

[0013] the rudder, which is arranged outside the end of the fairing and cooperates with the support platform to produce a planar rotation of the fairing, automatically adjusts the geometric angle of attack of the fairing and makes the fairing always face the main flow.

[0014] Preferably, the column is a cylindrical structure fixed at the geometric center of the base; the damping vortex lines are right-handed vortex lines arranged uniformly and protruding from the surface of the column, extending from the top end of the column to the bottom end of the column.

[0018] Preferably, the threaded rib is a right-handed protrusion arranged in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the fairing, and the threaded ribs are uniformly distributed and penetrate through the flange to the end of the diffusion section. The water flowing through the fairing is forced to obtain rotational power under the action of the inner threaded rib, to generate a non-uniform inner rotating flow with forced spiral rolling, to increase the turbulence degree of fluid flow, and the essence is the superposition of straight pipe flow and forced vortex, and a spiral flow state is formed. The forced spiral flow is maintained by the spiral blade fixed on the generator.

[0020] Preferably, the generator has a cable line, and the electric energy generated by the power generation device is connected to the shore storage room or the municipal power supply cable through the cable line.

[0021] Preferably, the rudder is a wing-shaped structure composed of multiple groups of front rudders and tail rudders, the front rudder is arranged at the top of the outer wall of the end of the diffusion section of the fairing, the tail rudder is inserted into the rear end of the front rudder, the tail rudder can swing relative to the front rudder, each group of tail rudders are connected through a connecting rod mechanism, the swinging of the tail rudder and the cooperation of the connecting rod mechanism form a torque for horizontal rotation of the whole power generation equipment, so as to adjust the optimum geometric angle of attack of the fairing, until the power generation device is opposite to the incoming flow direction, and the rotation stops when the speed potential difference between the left and right main flows through the outer wall of the fairing decreases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an adaptive spiral flow power generation device with damping vortex lines includes:

[0036] Base 1, used to fix the power generation device on the riverbed or seabed;

[0037] The column 2 is fixed on the base 1, and the damping vortex lines 21 are equidistantly arranged on the flow-facing surface of the column 2;

[0038] The base 3 is connected to the column 2 at the lower end and the air deflector 4 at the upper end. The base 3 can rotate horizontally relative to the column 2.

[0039] The deflector 4 is a variable diameter circular tube structure, with a flange 41, a contraction section 42, a diffusion section 43 and a trailing edge 44 coaxially arranged along the water flow direction;

[0040] The threaded fin 5 is provided on the inner wall of the air deflector 4 in an upward direction, passing through the flange 41 of the air deflector 4 to the end of the diffuser 43;

[0041] The generator set 6 is located in the diffuser section 43 of the shroud 4;

[0042] The rudder 7 is arranged outside the end of the deflector 4 and cooperates with the support platform 3 to make the deflector 4 rotate in a plane, automatically adjusting the geometric angle of attack of the deflector 4 so that it always faces the mainstream.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, column 2 is a cylindrical structure fixed to the geometric center of base 1; damping vortex lines 21 are a flow-disrupting protection structure protruding from the surface of column 2 and can be triangular-conical in shape. The damping vortex lines 21 extend from the top to the bottom of the flow-facing surface of column 2 and are uniformly arranged right-handed vortex lines. On the one hand, they change the geometric structure of the cylindrical column's flow-facing surface to disrupt the flow trajectory of the water flowing around the column, preventing the formation of vortices with stable frequencies. This disrupts the periodicity of the Karman vortex street, increases energy dissipation, reduces the impact of pulsation, and avoids destructive vortex-induced vibration caused by matching the generator's own frequency. On the other hand, the damping vortex lines, as flow-disrupting structures, reduce the lateral and longitudinal propagation of horseshoe vortices around the column and the shear stress on the bed surface, preventing water scouring the base foundation, thereby achieving better scour protection, improving the safety and stability of the generator, and further enhancing its durability and service life. A protruding shaft 22 is also provided at the top of column 2 for connection to the base 3.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower part of the pedestal 3 is an inward-sunk cylindrical groove, in which a slewing bearing 31 is nested. The slewing bearing 31 is screwed to the convex shaft 22 at the top of the column 2, and slewing bearing sealing plates 32 are provided at both ends of the slewing bearing 31. Among them, the sealing plate fixed to the top of the groove is used to cushion the slewing bearing 31 to reduce the direct effects of vibration and impact on the slewing bearing 31; the bottom sealing plate is used as a sealed sealing plate to isolate the water in the working environment of this device and protect the bearing from water erosion. The upper part of the pedestal 3 is connected to the diffusion section 43 of the fairing 4, and a fixed connection method such as welding can be used. The connection point is concave and has a gradually expanding local cone shape along the direction of water flow. The intersection line of the notches is a parabola with the opening along the direction of water flow.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the inlet of the shroud 4 is a flange 41. The inner edge of flange 41 converges toward the axis along the water flow direction, with the angle of the converged wall varying between 90° and 15.8°. The outer edge expands away from the axis, with the angle of the expanded wall varying between 90° and 0° along the water flow direction. The length of flange 41 along the water flow direction is 2 / 25 of the total length of the shroud 4, and the cross-sectional contraction rate of the inner wall of flange 41 is 23.68%. The contracting section 42, immediately following the end of flange 41, is a trumpet-shaped structure that converges along the water flow direction. The inner and outer walls converge toward the axis along the same functional curve, and the end is the point where the hydraulic radius of the shroud cavity is the smallest. The length of contracting section 42 along the water flow direction is 6 / 25 of the total length of the shroud 4, and the cross-sectional contraction rate of contracting section 42 is 35.86%. The diffuser 43 is a cup-shaped structure that gradually expands along the flow direction. Its inner and outer walls are parallel straight lines, with a divergence angle of 5°. The length of the diffuser 43 along the flow direction is 12 / 25 of the total length of the shroud 4, resulting in an area expansion ratio of 1:1.4. A generator frame 63 is fixed to the diffuser 43, with cables 8 extending from the generator 62, which is secured to the generator frame 63 by locating bolts 64. The trailing edge 44 is a pointed airfoil-shaped structure with staggered inner and outer walls to improve the flow characteristics of the fluid exiting the shroud, ensuring rapid outflow. The angle of the inner wall along the flow direction ranges from 3.2° to 9.5°, while the angle of the outer wall along the flow direction ranges from 6.1° to 19.5°. The length of the trailing edge 44 along the flow direction is 1 / 5 of the total length of the shroud 4. The rectangular coordinate parameters x and y of points on the 2D cross-section of the shroud are shown in Table 1.

[0046]

[0047]

[0048]

[0049]

[0050] The threaded fins 5 are right-handed protrusions circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the shroud 4, protruding toward one side of the shroud's axis. They are shaped like a square cone and are evenly distributed, extending from the shroud's flange 41 to the end of the diffuser 43. The evenly spaced right-handed fins force the water flowing through the shroud 4 to acquire rotational momentum under the action of the internally threaded fins, generating a non-uniform internal vortex flow that increases the turbulence of the fluid flow and reduces the diffusion angle of the water flow. This flow pattern is essentially a helical flow pattern formed by the superposition of straight pipe flow and forced vortices. The forced spiral flow is maintained by spiral blades 61 fixed to the generator 62, which maintain the spiral flow at the blades.

[0051] like Figure 7As shown, the generator set 6 includes blades 61, a generator 62, a generator frame 63, and positioning bolts 64. The generator frame 63 is fixed to the diffuser section 43 of the shroud, and is provided with positioning bolts 64 for fixing the generator 62. The blades 61 are connected to the rotor of the generator 62. A cable 8 is led out from the generator 62, and the electricity generated by the generator is connected to the onshore power storage room or the municipal power supply cable through the cable 8.

[0052] The rudder 7 is a wing-shaped structure, consisting of multiple sets of front rudders 71 and tail rudders 72. The front rudders 71 are arranged on the top of the outer wall of the end of the diffuser section 43 of the fairing, and the tail rudders 72 are inserted into the rear end of the front rudders 71. The tail rudders 72 can swing relative to the front rudders 71. Each set of tail rudders 72 is connected by a connecting rod mechanism. The swing of the tail rudders 72 and the synergistic effect of the connecting rod mechanism generate a torque that causes the entire power generation equipment to rotate horizontally, so as to adjust the optimal geometric angle of attack of the fairing 4.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 8-9 As shown, there are three sets of forward rudders 71 and aft rudders 72, arranged symmetrically along the axis of the generator, with their top planes at the same horizontal height. The two-dimensional effective planar area ratio is 1:2.625, and the chord length ratio is 1:2.8. The forward rudders 71 are fixed to the top of the outer wall of the end of the shroud diffuser 43, with their trailing edges tangent to the end of the shroud diffuser 43. The forward rudders 71 on the left and right sides are slightly taller than the forward rudder 71 at the axis of the generator. The bottoms of the forward rudders 71 on the left and right sides are wedge-shaped planes that share the same "diffusing" trend as the shroud diffuser 43. The bottom of the forward rudder 71 at the axis is flat, and all other geometric information is identical. The length ratio of the front rudder 71 to the diffuser section 43 of the fairing along the direction of water flow is 1:2.21. The front rudder 71 as a whole is an asymmetric groove wing-shaped structure biased toward one side of the upper part of the device, which is used to reserve the position space required for the swing of the rear rudder 72; cylindrical slots are provided at both ends of the groove, the top of the slot passes through the front rudder 71, and the depth is symmetrical on both sides of the center line of the groove, which is used to fix the rudder plate bearing 713, the pin 711 and connect the tail rudder 72. The tail rudder 72 is connected to the front rudder 71 through the pin 711. The geometric information of each set of tail rudders 72 is completely consistent. The wall surfaces on both sides are wing-shaped structures that shrink symmetrically toward their center lines along the direction of water flow. The main structure of the vertical surface of the tail rudder 72 presents a strictly symmetrical "convex" structure. A cylindrical slot is set at an appropriate position on the convex plane, and the hole diameter is consistent with the outer diameter of the pin 711. Two cylindrical fixed shafts 721 are set on the top plane of the tail rudder 72. The top is provided with a threaded buckle for fixing the connecting rod structure thereon. The fixed shafts 721 are respectively located at 1 / 5 and 2 / 5 of the top plane of the tail rudder 72 along the direction of water flow.

[0054] In order to make the tail rudder 72 rotate in the plane, a set of rudder plate bearings 713 is arranged at the appropriate position of the pin 711, the outer diameter of which is consistent with the outer diameter of the cylindrical slot hole on the front rudder 71, and the inner diameter is consistent with the outer diameter of the pin 711; In order to pad and protect the bearing, two sets of annular rudder plate bearing sealing plates 712 are arranged at each bearing, the inner and outer diameters of which are consistent with the hole diameter of the aforementioned pin 711 and cylindrical slot hole.

[0055] The connecting rod mechanism cooperates with the fixed connecting rod 723 through the fixed shaft 721 located on the tail rudder 72 and the direction connecting rod 722, and each connecting rod is provided with two. The two connecting rods are arranged in an "X" shape in the plane, and the width of the two is the same. The direction connecting rod 722 is a circular rectangular in the plane, and is symmetrically provided with a through slot at both ends of the connecting rod center shaft as an axis to provide the position space required for the translation of the connecting rod. The center distance of the slot is 3 times the outer diameter of the cylindrical fixed shaft 721, and the slot width is consistent with the outer diameter of the cylindrical fixed shaft 721. The direction connecting rod 722 penetrates longitudinally from the reserved slot in the abdomen of the fixed connecting rod 723. The fixed connecting rod 723 is a circular rectangular in the plane, and the thickness is twice that of the direction connecting rod 722. The fixed connecting rod 723 is fixed on the fixed shaft 721 through the reserved through hole at both ends, and the reserved hole diameter is consistent with the outer diameter of the fixed shaft 721. The fixed connecting rod 723 is provided with a groove at both ends of the vertical surface, and the groove length is consistent with the length of the slot at the end of the direction connecting rod 722. The bottom of the groove is beveled, and the bevel is located on one side of the direction connecting rod 722. An inclined rectangular slot is reserved at the abdominal position of the vertical surface of the fixed connecting rod 723, which is inclined to one side of the direction connecting rod 722 for the insertion of the direction connecting rod 722. The oblique length of the slot is 3 times the length of the transverse intersection line at this position of the direction connecting rod 722, and the vertical height of the slot is 1.4 times the thickness of the direction connecting rod 722. After the installation of each part of the connecting rod mechanism is completed, the final fixed bolt 724 is used to limit the vertical movement.

[0056] When water flows past the left and right sides of the fin 72, the velocity potential difference between the two sides causes the fin 72 to swing in the opposite direction of the water flow. When the velocity potential of the water flowing past the left side of the fin 72 is greater than that of the water flowing past the right side, the fin 72 closer to the left side, under the action of the larger velocity potential, generates a rightward deflection force. This deflection force "pushes" the other two fins 72 within the range defined by the slots at both ends of the directional link 722 via the fixed link 723 connected to the fixed shaft 721, resulting in a same-direction deflection. The links then form a linkage mechanism, exerting a synergistic "force" in the same direction. This further adds to the deflection force, generating a torque that causes the entire power generation device to rotate horizontally, thereby adjusting the optimal geometric angle of attack of the shroud. This rotation stops when the power generation device faces the incoming flow direction and the velocity potential difference of the main stream flowing past the outer wall of the shroud decreases. When the velocity of the water flowing through the right side of the rudder 72 is greater than that of the water flowing through the left side of the rudder 72, the rudder 72 rotates in the opposite direction. Finally, the fixing bolts 724 limit the vertical movement of the directional link 722 and the fixed link 723, so that they can rotate horizontally within the range of the notches at both ends of the directional link 722.

[0057] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make modifications, substitutions and variations within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention.
