In addition, in the existing diversion technology, the diversion direction of the guide plate does not change with the water flow velocity, resulting in low power generation efficiency at low flow rates.

[0008] Therefore, further improvements are made to the above problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0050] In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art should note that the generator and the like involved in the present invention may be regarded as prior art.

[0051] Preferred embodiments.

[0052] In applications where a transverse rotating shaft impeller is used to obtain water flow power, the axis direction of the transverse rotating shaft impeller is perpendicular to the direction of the water flow, or in other words, the axis direction of the transverse rotating shaft impeller is perpendicular to the central axis direction of the water pipe. The advantage of this structure is that the transmission structure is simple, and the rotation of the impeller shaft can be transmitted to the generator installed on the side of the water pipe by using an impeller shaft passing through the water pipe wall. The disadvantage is that an asymmetric water flow field needs to be formed on both sides of the shaft to effectively drive the impeller to rotate. For this reason, a guide member is usually used to assist the water flow to effectively drive the impeller. The existing guide members have a fixed shape and a fixed inclination angle, and the inclination angle of the guide member cannot be adjusted as the water flow changes, which limits the potential for improving power generation efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the present invention discloses a water flow power generation system, including a water pipe 40 and a primary flow guide module, a secondary flow guide module and a power generation module 50 installed on the water pipe, wherein:

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the primary diversion module includes a handle 61, a water valve shaft 62 and a valve member 63. The handle 61 is connected to the valve member 63 through the water valve shaft 62. The valve member 63 is a ball valve including a sphere or a butterfly valve including a valve disc. The handle 61 drives the valve member 63 to rotate to an open state through the water valve shaft 62. When the valve member 63 is opened, the water flows downward (the ball valve diverts the water through the middle hole, and the butterfly valve diverts the water by opening the valve disc) to generate primary diversion.

[0055] The secondary flow guide module is located at the outlet end of the primary flow guide and comprises a flow guide vane 10 and a flow guide vane mounting member 20. The flow guide vane 10 is mounted on the water pipe 40 through the flow guide vane mounting member 20. The water flow passing through the primary flow guide impacts the flow guide vane 10 to generate the secondary flow guide. The combination of the two-stage flow guide improves the flexibility of the flow guide and the impact efficiency of the water flow on the power generation impeller. The inclination angle of the flow guide vane can be changed with the change of the water flow velocity, so that the power generation impeller is subjected to a higher water flow impact force at different water flow velocities, thereby further improving the power generation efficiency. In order to improve the power generation efficiency of the water flow, it is necessary to effectively convert the impact force of the water flow into the rotational torque of the power generation impeller. To this end, it is necessary to concentrate the water flow impact force on one side of the power generation impeller shaft as much as possible, and to make the water flow impact the impeller on this side as far away from the power generation impeller shaft as much as possible.

[0056] The water valve used for primary diversion has different opening angles depending on the rotation angle of the handle. For example, the opening angle of the water valve can be 15 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. At different opening angles, the main impact direction of the water flow field is different. When the installation position of the power generation impeller shaft is at a certain distance from the water outlet end of the water valve, it is impossible to achieve that the main impact direction of the water flow field output by the water valve at different opening angles can impact the effective part of the impeller. Especially at the fully opened angle of the water valve, the main impact direction of the water flow field output is the same as the direction of the central axis of the water pipe. In this case, the water flow field output by the water valve will form symmetrical impact forces on both sides of the power generation impeller shaft, resulting in a sharp decrease in the rotational torque of the power generation impeller. This is a limitation of using only water valves for primary diversion.

[0057] Using a diversion valve to perform secondary diversion on the water flow output by the water valve can overcome the disadvantage of the limited opening angle of the primary diversion of the diversion valve, and can maintain the effective impact of the water flow on the impeller at various opening angles. For example, when the opening angle of the water valve is 15 degrees, the main impact direction of the water flow field output by the water valve will reach the water pipe wall before reaching the power generation impeller and be emitted back to the other side of the power generation impeller shaft, and cannot impact the effective part of the power generation impeller. Using a guide plate located between the water outlet end of the water valve and the power generation impeller to perform secondary diversion on the water flow field output by the water valve can allow the water flow reflected by the water pipe wall to impact the effective impacted part of the power generation impeller; when the opening angle of the water valve is 45 degrees, the water flow output by the water valve is 45 degrees. The main impact direction of the field will reach the effective impact position of the power generation impeller. At this time, the guide vane located between the water outlet end of the water valve and the power generation impeller will gather the side lobe water flow outside the main impact direction of the water flow field output by the water valve to the effective impact position of the impeller to further increase the impact power on the power generation impeller; when the opening angle of the water valve is 90 degrees, the water valve is in a fully open state, and the water flow field output by the water valve will form symmetrical impact forces on both sides of the power generation impeller shaft, causing the rotational torque of the impeller to decrease sharply. At this time, the guide vane located between the water outlet end of the water valve and the impeller will guide the main impact direction of the water flow field output by the water valve to the effective impact position of the power generation impeller to maintain the impact power of the water flow on the power generation impeller.

[0058] The power generation module 50 is located at the water outlet end of the secondary diversion and includes a power generation impeller 52, a power generation impeller shaft 51 and a generator 53. The power generation impeller 52 is connected to the generator 53 through the power generation impeller shaft 51. The water valve shaft 62 is parallel to the power generation impeller shaft 51. Under the action of the guide vane 10, the off-axis water flow field generated by the secondary diversion has an asymmetric flow field distribution on both sides of the power generation impeller shaft 51, thereby driving the power generation impeller 52 to rotate, and then driving the generator 53 through the power generation impeller shaft 51 to generate electricity.

[0059] Specifically, a water flow channel 41 is provided inside the water pipe 40;

[0060] The handle 61 is disposed outside the water flow channel 41 and the water valve shaft 62 and the valve member 63 are both disposed inside the water flow channel 41;

[0061] The secondary flow guide module is built into the water flow channel 41;

[0062] The generator 52 is disposed outside the water flow channel 41 , and the power generation impeller shaft 51 and the power generation impeller 52 are both embedded in the water flow channel 41 .

[0063] More specifically, the guide vane 10 comprises a spine 11, a left wing 12, a right wing 13, a tail 14 and a bow 15, wherein:

[0064] The guide plate 10 further comprises a left wing deformation portion 17 and a right wing deformation portion 18;

[0065] The left wing deformation portion 17 establishes a (openable and closable) connection between the spine 11 and the left wing 12 , and the right wing deformation portion 18 establishes a (openable and closable) connection between the spine 11 and the right wing 13 .

[0066] More specifically, the guide vane 10 comprises a spine 11, a left wing 12, a right wing 13, a tail 14 and a bow 15, wherein:

[0067] The guide vane 10 also includes a tail deformation portion 16, a left wing deformation portion 17 and a right wing deformation portion 18, wherein:

[0068] The tail deformation portion 16 is connected to the spine 11 through the tail portion 14, and is used to establish a (tiltable) connection between the guide vane 10 and the guide vane mounting member 20;

[0069] The left wing deformation portion 17 establishes a (openable and closable) connection between the spine 11 and the left wing 12 , and the right wing deformation portion 18 establishes a (openable and closable) connection between the spine 11 and the right wing 13 .

[0070] When the impact force of the water flow increases, the left wing 12 and the right wing 13 open to both sides of the spine 11 respectively, the bow 15 swings toward the back side, the water-facing surface of the guide vane 10 decreases, and the water flow space increases;

[0071] When the impact force of the water flow decreases, the left wing 12 and the right wing 13 respectively embrace the backwater side of the spine 11, the bow 15 swings toward the frontwater side, the frontwater surface of the guide plate 10 increases, and the water flow space decreases.

[0072] The nose portion 15 of the guide vane 10 swings around an axis 19 of the swing shaft passing through the tail deformation portion 16 , and the axis around which the axis 19 of the swing shaft passing through the tail deformation portion 16 is located is parallel to the axis of the impeller shaft of the power generation impeller 52 .

[0073] The head portion 15 that is movably connected to be a guide vane swings around the tail portion 14 , and specifically, the head portion 15 swings around an axis 19 of a swing shaft that passes through the tail deformation portion 14 .

[0074] See also Figure 6 As shown, the guide vane 10 is installed in the water pipe 40 in the straight waterway on the water inlet side of the power generation impeller 52. The power generation impeller 52 drives the generator 53 installed on the cover plate through the power generation impeller shaft 51. The power generation impeller shaft 51 passes through the lateral port and the cover plate to connect the generator 53 and the power generation impeller 52. There is a flange on the lateral port of the water pipe 40, and the flange is used to install the cover plate.

[0075] The guide vane 10 changes the direction of the water flow field driving the power generation impeller in the water channel, so that one side of the power generation impeller 52 is impacted by more water flow than the other side, thereby improving the driving efficiency of the water flow on the power generation impeller.

[0076] The water pipe 40 is at least one of a section of water pipe, a tee and a water pipe joint. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the water pipe 40 is a tee with a flange.

[0077] See also Figure 6 As shown, the side port of the water pipe 40 is used to place or remove the power generation impeller 52 , and the cover plate of the side port is used as a mounting support body for the power generation impeller 52 .

[0078] Furthermore, the lateral port of the water pipe 40 is used to insert or remove the guide vane 10 and the guide vane mounting member 20 .

[0079] Specifically, the lateral port on the water pipe 40 is a lateral port of a tee piece on the water delivery pipeline; or

[0080] The lateral port on the water pipe 40 is a lateral port opened at a position on the water delivery pipeline where a guide vane and / or a power generation impeller needs to be installed.

[0081] As a specific implementation method for installing the guide vane: first, the guide vane is placed into the straight waterway of the water pipe formed by the tee through the lateral port of the tee, and then the power generation impeller is placed into the straight waterway of the tee through the lateral port of the tee.

[0082] As a specific implementation method for removing the guide vane: first, the power generation impeller is removed from the straight water channel of the tee through the lateral port of the tee to make space for removing the guide vane, and then the guide vane located in the straight water channel of the tee is removed through the lateral port of the tee.

[0083] The installation position of the guide vane does not affect the placement of the power generation impeller into the straight waterway of the tee piece, nor does it affect the removal of the power generation impeller from the straight waterway of the tee piece.

[0084] Specifically, the guide vane mounting member 20 includes at least one of a tail mounting member 21 and a side mounting member 23, wherein:

[0085] The tail mounting member 21 is located at the tail portion 14;

[0086] The side mounting member 23 is located on the back-to-water surface of the guide vane 10 (and is supported and connected to the back-to-water surface of the guide vane).

[0087] More specifically, when the guide vane 10 further includes the left wing deformation portion 17 and the right wing deformation portion 18, the guide vane mounting member 20 only includes the side mounting member 23 (such as Figure 4 ), where:

[0088] The side mounting component 23 includes a second support ring 24 and two side wing mounting interface components 25, the second support ring 24 is mounted on the water pipe 40 (the second support ring uses the inner wall of the water pipe as its mounting support body) and the second support ring 24 is provided with a guide rail, one side of the first side wing mounting interface component 25 is mounted on the left wing 12 and the other side is mounted on the guide rail, one side of the second side wing mounting interface component 25 is mounted on the right wing 13 and the other side is mounted on the guide rail; the left wing 12 and the right wing 13 are respectively slidably connected to the guide rail through the side wing mounting interface components 25, and the guide rail is used to provide mounting support and sliding guidance for the side wing mounting interface components 25.

[0089] Furthermore, when the guide vane 10 also includes the tail deformation portion 16, the left wing deformation portion 17 and the right wing deformation portion 18, the guide vane mounting member 20 only includes the tail mounting member 21 or includes the tail mounting member 21 and the side mounting member 23, wherein:
