Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of large vertical axis wind turbines, in particular to an axial gravity balancing device for a vertical axis wind turbine and a vertical axis wind turbine. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional horizontal axis wind turbines, the impeller and main shaft of vertical axis wind turbines are arranged vertically, and there is no need to adjust the angle facing the wind direction. It can better adapt to the changing wind direction. This enables vertical axis wind turbines to operate stably in complex urban environments, offshore and near-shore environments, and some special environments, improving the utilization efficiency of wind energy resources. However, large vertical axis wind turbines have not been widely used.

[0003] At present, the main reason that affects the large-scale development of vertical axis wind turbines is that the vertical axis bearing of the vertical axis wind turbine bears too much gravity, which shortens the life of the bearing. The short service life of the bearing makes it inconvenient to replace, and the replacement also increases the cost. For example, Chinese Patent 202010141881.4 discloses a dual-wind-rotor vertical axis wind power generation device, which includes an inner wind rotor assembly, an outer wind rotor assembly, a tower support assembly and a generator assembly. The inner wind rotor assembly and the outer wind rotor assembly are arranged on the tower support assembly through bearings. After the device is large-scaled, the above-mentioned problems exist, and the greater the bearing gravity of the vertical axis bearing, the greater the friction of the bearing, which makes the power generated by the wind turbine in a breeze almost offset by the friction of the bearing, which increases the starting wind speed of the vertical axis wind turbine and makes it difficult to carry out breeze power generation of the vertical axis wind turbine. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an axial gravity balancing device for a vertical axis wind turbine and a vertical axis wind turbine. The balancing device makes the resultant force of the axial bearing force of the wind rotor shaft close to zero, and the friction of the bearing becomes smaller, which can increase the life of the bearing and enable the vertical axis wind turbine to generate breeze power.

[0030] The density of the liquid contained in the liquid tank 3 is preferably greater than or equal to 1g / cm 3, the buoyancy is greater, and antifreeze is added to prevent the liquid from freezing. A non-volatile liquid with a lower density than the liquid is placed on the top of the liquid in the liquid storage tank to form a liquid seal. The inner surface of the liquid storage tank is attached with a hydrophobic material, and the outer surfaces of the inner wind wheel shaft buoy box and the outer wind wheel shaft buoy box are attached with a hydrophobic material to reduce the friction between the inner wind wheel shaft buoy box, the outer wind wheel shaft buoy box and the liquid.

The cavity of the inner and outer wind wheel buoy boxes is filled with dense and impermeable lightweight foam plastic to ensure the safe operation of the buoy. Counterweights are added to the outer wind wheel shaft bracket and the inner wind wheel shaft bracket to increase the moment of inertia so that the wind turbine runs smoothly, and at the same time prevent the wind turbine from being "top-heavy" as a whole. The inner support column penetrates the inner wind wheel shaft buoy box and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of its box to enhance the strength of the overall structure. The outer support column penetrates the outer wind wheel shaft buoy box and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of its box to enhance the strength of the overall structure.

[0035] The present invention provides an axial gravity balancing device for a double-rotor vertical axis wind turbine. Specifically, the device utilizes the buoyancy of liquid to suspend the inner rotor shaft and the outer rotor shaft of the wind turbine respectively, maintains the buoyancy and the gravity of the shaft and the accessories on the shaft in balance, and makes the resultant force of the bearings of the inner rotor shaft and the outer rotor shaft (the bearings here refer to the bearings at the lower end of the outer rotor shaft and the supporting bearings of the inner rotor shaft, and the bearings at the upper part of the tower column and the connecting part of the inner rotor assembly and the outer rotor assembly) in the axial direction close to zero. Since the resultant force of the axial force borne by the bearings is close to zero, the friction of the bearings becomes smaller, which can increase the service life of the bearings and enable the vertical axis double-rotor wind turbine to generate breeze power. This is also equivalent to adding the entire weight of the fan blades and the rotating shaft of the double-rotor vertical axis wind turbine to the liquid in the liquid tank through the inner and outer rotor shaft buoy boxes, which is similar to putting a heavy object on a boat and then suspending it in the liquid, which can reduce the strength of the main bearing of the vertical axis of the wind turbine and reduce the manufacturing cost of the wind turbine. At the same time, the rotating part of the entire twin-rotor vertical axis wind turbine rotates on the liquid like a ship. Even the friction of the huge rotating part of the wind turbine is very small, mainly to overcome the friction between the float and the liquid. The friction between the solid and the liquid is very small, because the inner and outer wind rotor shaft float box is a ring-shaped whole, and its rotation does not have the resistance of breaking through the water like a ship, but only overcomes the friction between the float and the liquid. Therefore, even if the rotating part of the wind turbine weighs hundreds of tons, it becomes very easy to rotate, which opens the door to the gigantism of the twin-rotor vertical axis wind turbine; in order to reduce the volume of the float and reduce the friction between the float and the liquid, you can choose to use a density greater than 1g / cm 3 The higher the density of the liquid, the greater the buoyancy of the same volume of liquid. The greater the buoyancy, the smaller the volume of the float required to float the same weight. Because the inner and outer wind wheels of the twin-rotor vertical axis wind turbine rotate in opposite directions along the axis, the outer wind wheel shaft buoy and the inner wind wheel shaft buoy also rotate in opposite directions along the axis driven by the outer wind wheel shaft and the inner wind wheel shaft.

[0036] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by it and does not deviate from the technical solution of the present invention, and designs a structure and implementation similar to the technical solution based on the above implementation examples without creativity according to the technical essence of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
