Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and particularly to a vertical-axis wind turbine impeller with shell-shaped blades composed of an impeller main shaft, a cantilever frame, shell-shaped blades, magnetoelectric components, etc. Background Art
[0002] In the field of wind power generation, the impellers of traditional vertical-axis wind turbines generally adopt a fixed-blade structure. Although this structure is relatively simple, it has many obvious defects. Firstly, the wind energy utilization rate is low. Since the fixed blades cannot automatically adjust the angle according to the changes in wind direction and wind speed, a large wind resistance will be generated in the sheltered area, greatly limiting the effective utilization of wind energy. Secondly, the starting wind speed is high. In a low-wind-speed environment, it is difficult for the fixed blades to start, which seriously narrows the applicable range of the wind turbine. Moreover, the noise is large. The fixed blades will generate a large amount of noise during high-speed rotation, causing adverse effects on the surrounding environment. To sum up, the existing traditional vertical-axis wind turbine impellers have significant deficiencies in wind energy utilization efficiency, starting performance, and noise control, and there is an urgent need for a new type of impeller structure to improve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The core object of the present invention is to provide a vertical-axis wind turbine impeller with shell-shaped blades to effectively solve the prominent problems such as low wind energy utilization rate, high starting wind speed, and large noise in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] 1. Overall structure: A vertical-axis wind turbine impeller with shell-shaped blades mainly includes an impeller main shaft, a cantilever frame, shell-shaped blades, a bidirectional support rod, a magnetoelectric component, and a pedestal bearing. Among them, cantilever frames are installed on both sides of the impeller main shaft, the shell-shaped blades are installed between the upper and lower cantilever frames, the bidirectional support rod is installed on two opposite shell-shaped blades, the magnetoelectric component passes through the middle of the shell and is installed between the upper and lower cantilevers on both sides and inside the V-shaped flow deflector, and the pedestal bearing is installed at the corresponding position outside the upper and lower cantilevers.
[0006] 2. Impeller main shaft: The impeller main shaft is composed of a hollow square tube and a seat plate. An opening is provided in the middle of the seat plate and welded to the lower end of the square tube.
[0007] 3. Cantilever frame: The cantilever frame is composed of two hollow square tubes, two fixing plates, and a V-shaped flow deflector. The two fixing plates are respectively welded to the inner ends of the two hollow square tubes for installation on the main shaft pipe wall. An opening is provided in the middle of the V-shaped flow deflector and vertically installed at the corresponding position outside the upper and lower square tubes to connect the upper and lower square tubes. The magnetic push rod of the magnetoelectric component extends into the solenoid, the solenoid is installed inside the flow deflector, and the support rods on both sides of the magnetoelectric component are hinged to the inner and outer shell-shaped blades.
[0008] 4. Shell blades: The shell blades are concave-convex plates, shaped like shells, and are composed of two inner and outer sheets. Both the upper and lower parts of the two sheets are provided with rotating shafts, which are respectively installed in the pedestal bearings corresponding to the upper and lower cantilevers. The middle parts of both sheets are provided with hinged rings, and both sheets of the blades can be freely opened or closed by the wind.
[0009] 5. Bi-directional support rods: The outer ends of the bi-directional support rods are respectively hinged to the corresponding rings of the inner and outer shell blades, and the overall structure is similar to an umbrella. When the shell blades open, the bi-directional support rods open outwards; when the shell blades close, the bi-directional support rods contract inwards, so as to ensure the synchronous movement of the inner and outer blades.
[0010] 6. Magnetoelectric components: The magnetoelectric components are composed of a solenoid and a magnetic push rod. The solenoid is installed inside the V-shaped deflector, the magnetic push rod extends into the solenoid, passes through the V-shaped deflector and extends to the outside, and the support rods at both ends of the magnetoelectric mechanism are hinged to the inner and outer shell blades. When the shell blades are automatically opened or closed by the wind, the support rods can drive the magnetic push rod to reciprocate in the solenoid.
[0011] Working principle
[0012] When the wind blows towards the impeller, the shell blades on one side of the impeller main shaft are in the wind-catching state and automatically open under the action of the wind, thereby increasing the windward area; the shell blades on the other side are in the wind-sheltering area state and automatically close under the action of the wind, effectively reducing the wind resistance. As the impeller main shaft rotates, the states of the shell blades on both sides will continue to be interchanged. During the continuous transformation of the outward expansion and inward contraction of the bi-directional support rods, the magnetic push rod can be driven to reciprocate in the solenoid, thereby generating an induced current. At the same time, the V-shaped air deflector can catch the wind, and the combined action of various factors effectively improves the wind energy utilization rate. Once encountering strong winds or typhoons, the wind speed sensor will send a signal, and the controller will immediately control the magnetic push rod to extend outwards through the solenoid, drive the bi-directional support rods to contract inwards, and prompt the shell blades on both sides to close, thereby protecting the equipment from damage.
[0013] The impeller main shaft and the cantilever frame of the present invention are both made of lightweight aluminum alloy profiles, the shell blades are made of lightweight basalt materials, the bi-directional support rods and the magnetoelectric components are both made of ordinary metal materials, and the pedestal bearings are purchased standard parts. The principle of the present invention is novel and clear, the structure is simple and reasonable, and it is easy for those skilled in the field of wind power generation to understand and implement.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] The present invention has the following remarkable beneficial effects: 1. High wind energy utilization rate: The shell blades can open and close freely according to the wind speed and automatically adjust the angle. The magnetic push rod reciprocates in the solenoid to generate current. The deflector has a wind-catching effect and can further increase the windward area, thus maximizing the utilization of wind energy. 2. Low starting wind speed: The shell blades on both sides of the main shaft are in opposite directions, one side catching the wind and the other side avoiding the wind. They can automatically open at low wind speeds, with a low starting wind speed and a wide application range. 3. Equipment protection: In case of strong winds or typhoons, the controller immediately controls the magnetic push rod to extend outward through the solenoid, driving the bidirectional support rod to contract inward, prompting the shell blades on both sides to close, thereby protecting the equipment from damage.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, cantilever frames 5 are installed on both sides of the impeller main shaft 1. The shell blades 2 are installed in the upper and lower cantilever frames 5. The bidirectional support rod 4 is installed on two opposite shell blades 2. The magnetoelectric component 3 passes through the air deflector 6 and is installed in the middle of the inside and outside.
[0022] When the shell blades 2 open, the bidirectional support rod 4 opens outward; when the shell blades 2 close, the bidirectional support rod 4 contracts inward. The magnetoelectric component 3 is connected to the inner and outer pieces. When the shell blades 2 automatically open with the wind, the bidirectional support rod 4 will push and pull the inner and outer blades to open and close in a chain reaction, and the magnetoelectric component 3 will act accordingly to generate current.
[0023] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, when the wind blows towards the impeller and the shell blades 1 and 3 are in the wind-catching area, they will automatically open under the action of the wind force. The double-direction support rods will open outwards. The V-shaped wind guide plate 4 has the function of catching the wind, increasing the windward area and improving the wind energy utilization rate. At the same time, the magnetoelectric mechanism 2 will also open accordingly, and its magnetic push rod extends into the solenoid to generate an electric current.
[0024] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, on the other side, the shell blades 1 and 5 are in the wind-sheltering area and will automatically close under the action of the wind force. The double-direction support rods 4 will contract inwards, reducing the wind resistance. At the same time, it drives the magnetic push rod of the magnetoelectric mechanism 2 to be removed from the solenoid, generating an electric current. The inner shell piece is slightly larger than the outer shell piece, which is convenient for catching the wind. With the push of the wind force, the wind-catching or wind-sheltering states of the shell blades on both sides of the main shaft will continuously interchange, thus realizing the continuous rotation of the impeller.
