[0002] A wind energy gathering device is a device used to collect and concentrate wind energy. Its main function is to gather scattered natural wind that cannot be directly utilized through special design and structure, and convert it into wind energy carried by the air entering the wind energy gathering device. This device is usually used in wind power generation, ventilation systems or other occasions that require the use of wind energy.

[0003] The wind energy gathering devices in the prior art either lack an internal supporting structure, which limits the diameter of the wind energy gathering device and makes it impossible to effectively expand. Otherwise, the structure may collapse or be destroyed by strong winds due to lack of support, thereby affecting the sturdiness and energy gathering efficiency of the wind energy gathering device; or there is no enclosed ventilation duct, so that the gathered wind energy cannot be controlled, reducing the practicality of the wind energy gathering device. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a wind energy gathering device, which solves the problems in the prior art of small diameter of the energy gathering device, small amount of gathered wind energy, low wind energy utilization rate, poor practicality and lack of closed pipeline.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a wind energy gathering device, including a mounting column, characterized in that the mounting column is a hollow column, and the internal pipe of the mounting column is connected with the receiving pipe through a side wall pipe arranged on the side wall of the column, and a wind gathering mechanism is arranged on the top of the mounting column, and the wind gathering mechanism can gather wind energy, and a thrust bearing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting column, and the thrust bearing can facilitate the wind gathering mechanism to rotate around the main axis as the wind direction changes.

[0006] Preferably, the wind gathering mechanism includes a wind gathering horn, the tail of the wind gathering horn is fixedly connected to a receiving pipe, the receiving pipe is fixedly connected to a side wall pipe of the mounting column, the middle of the wind gathering horn is fixedly connected to a main shaft, the outside of the main shaft is fixedly connected to a secondary shaft, and the outside of the secondary shaft is fixedly connected to a plurality of support plates.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the thrust bearing is fixedly connected to a support platform, the four bottom corners of the support platform are fixedly connected to support rods, and the lower ends of the support rods are fixedly connected to the ground.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the main shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column, the main shaft passes through the middle of the wind focusing horn and is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the wind focusing horn at the penetration point, and the upper outer wall of the main shaft is fixedly connected with a wind deflector.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary shaft penetrates through the middle of the main shaft, the axis of the auxiliary shaft coincides with the central axis of the wind-gathering horn, the auxiliary shaft is perpendicular to the main shaft, a flow guide cover is fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary shaft close to the bell mouth of the wind-gathering horn, and a tail cone is fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary shaft close to the tail of the wind-gathering horn.

[0010] Preferably, one side of the support plate away from the auxiliary shaft is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the wind-gathering horn, and a plurality of flow guide plates are fixedly connected between two side walls on the side of the support plate close to the auxiliary shaft.

Additionally, by providing a flow guide cover, flow guide plates, and a tail cone for the device, together with the support plate and the outer shell of the wind-gathering horn, the wind-gathering horn is divided into several smaller wind-gathering channels, thereby reducing the aperture of each smaller wind-gathering channel, decreasing the generation of eddy currents and the influence of atmospheric turbulence on the energy-gathering effect of the wind energy gathering device. Moreover, by shaping the streamline of each smaller wind-gathering channel, the generation of eddy currents can be further reduced.

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Please see attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a wind energy gathering device, including a mounting column 1, a wind gathering mechanism 2 is arranged on the top of the mounting column 1, the wind gathering mechanism 2 can gather wind energy, and a thrust bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting column 1, and the thrust bearing 3 can facilitate the wind gathering mechanism 2 to rotate around the main axis 202 as the wind direction changes.

[0017] The wind gathering mechanism 2 includes a wind gathering horn 201, which can gather wind energy and compress and accelerate the air entering the wind gathering horn 201. The tail of the wind gathering horn 201 is fixedly connected to the receiving pipe 9; the receiving pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall pipe 101, and the middle part of the wind gathering horn 201 is fixedly connected with a main shaft 202, and the middle part of the main shaft 202 is fixedly connected with a secondary shaft 203, the secondary shaft 203 is perpendicular to the main shaft 202, and the secondary shaft 203 can play a role in installation. The outside of the secondary shaft 203 is fixedly connected with a plurality of symmetrical support plates 204, and the support plates 204 can pull and support the shell of the wind gathering horn 201 to prevent the wind gathering. The shell of the wind horn 201 cannot support itself due to its large radius or the wind horn 201 is destroyed due to excessive wind force. The support plate 204 can be divided into two, four, six and eight leaves, etc. The bottom of the thrust bearing 3 is fixedly connected with the support platform 4, and the four corners of the bottom of the support platform 4 are fixedly connected with support rods 6. The combination of the support rods 6 and the support platform 4 can provide an installation position. The main shaft 202 runs through the middle of the wind horn 201, and the outer wall of the main shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the shell of the wind horn 201. The bottom of the main shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation column 1, and the upper outer side of the main shaft 202 is fixedly connected with a wind deflector 5. The longitudinal section of the wind energy gathering device along the main axis is in the same vertical plane as the guide plate 5. The secondary shaft 203 runs through the middle of the main shaft 202. The secondary shaft is fixedly connected to the guide cover 8 at one end near the bell mouth of the wind gathering horn 201. The secondary shaft is fixedly connected to the tail vertebra 10 at one end near the tail of the wind gathering horn 201. The side of the support plate 204 away from the secondary shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the shell of the wind gathering horn 201. The guide plate 7 is fixedly connected between the two side walls of the support plate 204 near the secondary shaft 203. The ends of the multiple guide plates 7 near the bell mouth of the wind gathering horn are fixedly connected to the bottom periphery of the guide cover 8. The ends of the multiple guide plates 7 near the tail of the wind gathering horn 201 are fixedly connected to the tail vertebra 10. The wind energy gathered by the wind-gathering horn 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom periphery of the tail vertebra 10, and then output downwards through the tail of the wind-gathering horn 201, the receiving pipe 9 and the side wall pipe 101, and then enters the internal pipe of the mounting column 1. Under the action of wind force, the wind deflector 5 always keeps the same vertical plane with the wind direction. On the one hand, the wind deflector 5 provides power for the wind energy gathering device to rotate around the main axis as the wind direction changes. On the other hand, the wind deflector's own weight also plays a role in balancing the weight balance of the main axis. The wind deflector can be made of iron plate, while the horn housing, the secondary shaft 203, the support plate 304, the deflector 8, the deflector 7, the tail vertebra 10, etc. are made of lightweight aluminum alloy. In addition, the horn housing plate should be gradually thickened from the horn mouth to the horn tail. The outer edge of the horn mouth can be 1.5mm, and the horn tail can be 5mm. The following pipes also use pipes with a wall thickness of 5mm.

[0018] Working principle: Under the action of wind force, the wind vane 5 is always consistent with the wind direction. When the wind direction changes, under the action of wind force, the wind vane 5 rotates around the main shaft, driving the wind-gathering mechanism to rotate around the main shaft, and pushing the wind-gathering mechanism to align the bell mouth of the wind-gathering horn 201 with the wind direction. The wind-gathering horn 201 gathers the air blown into the bell mouth from the front, compresses and accelerates the air, and then sends it to the tail of the horn. Subsequently, under the push of wind pressure, the compressed and accelerated air is sent into the receiving pipe 9. The air enters the internal pipe of the mounting column 1 through the receiving pipe 9 and the side wall pipe 101 and is output downward, finally completing the gathering and transportation of wind energy.

[0019] By setting a secondary shaft and a support plate on the secondary shaft, this device can not only effectively pull and support the outer shell of the wind-gathering horn, preventing the outer shell of the wind-gathering horn from collapsing due to excessive span or being destroyed due to excessive wind force, thus providing a larger expansion space for the diameter of the wind-gathering horn, greatly increasing the area for gathering wind energy by this device, and significantly increasing the amount of gathered wind energy. At the same time, the support plate divides the wind-gathering horn into several smaller wind-gathering air channels, which can effectively prevent the influence of eddy currents caused by laminar flow and atmospheric turbulence on wind energy gathering. Moreover, by setting a fairing, a deflector plate and a tail cone for this device, the optimization of each smaller wind-gathering air channel is further carried out, further reducing the adverse impact of eddy currents generated during wind energy gathering on wind energy gathering. Finally, by setting multiple external struts and crossbeams around and on the upper part of the wind energy gathering device, and jointly forming the external support structure of this device by these struts and crossbeams, the stability of the entire wind energy gathering device can be significantly improved. Especially when encountering strong winds, it can avoid the tilting or damage of the wind energy gathering device due to the insufficient strength of a single strut, improving the firmness and service life of the wind energy gathering device.

[0020] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
