Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, in particular to a vertical-axis dual-rotor wind power generator capable of adapting to wind direction. Background Art
[0002] Vertical axis wind turbines are very suitable for use as small wind power generation devices due to their adaptability to different wind directions, simple structure, reliable operation, and easy installation and maintenance.
[0003] However, existing resistance-type vertical axis wind turbines have disadvantages such as poor starting performance, low wind energy utilization, and insufficient ability to resist strong winds, which limits their promotion and application in practical applications.
[0004] To this end, the present invention provides a vertical-axis dual-rotor wind turbine that can adapt to wind direction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vertical axis dual-rotor wind turbine that can adapt to wind direction and solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To address the above issues, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vertical-axis dual-rotor wind turbine capable of adapting to wind direction, comprising upper and lower vertical shafts arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Impellers are positioned around the vertical shafts, capable of driving their rotation. The impellers are fixedly connected to the vertical shafts via end plates, thereby driving their rotation. The impellers are generally cylindrical, consisting of upper and lower layers of equal height. Each layer utilizes vertically mounted semi-cylindrical impellers made of the same material and dimensions. The windward side of the impellers adopts a SIN2 shape, while the leeward side adopts a perfect semicircular shape.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper impeller is fixedly connected to the upper end plate, which is in turn fixedly connected to the upper vertical shaft. The upper vertical shaft passes through the center of the upper impeller without touching the upper impeller. Similarly, the lower impeller is fixedly connected to the lower end plate, which is in turn fixedly connected to the lower vertical shaft. The lower vertical shaft passes through the center of the lower impeller without touching the lower impeller. Furthermore, each layer of impellers is vertically installed and evenly arranged, and the positions of the upper and lower impellers are evenly staggered. Furthermore, the openings of the upper and lower impellers face opposite directions. The vertical projection of the impellers on the same layer on the disk is two evenly distributed equal semicircular arcs, while the vertical projection of the impellers on the upper and lower layers on the same disk is four evenly distributed equal semicircular arcs. The diameter of the circle where the semi-cylindrical impeller is located is slightly larger than the radius of the disk, so that an interconnected airflow channel is formed inside each layer of the impeller.
[0008] Furthermore, a power generation device is installed between the upper and lower impellers, which consists of six permanent magnets and a coil. The six permanent magnets are fixedly connected to the lower rotating shaft through the lower end plate, and the power generation coil is fixedly connected to the upper rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the SIN2-shaped blade surface is an impeller model that can maximize the power generation efficiency obtained by using MATLAB to perform mathematical model calculations. The mathematical model is an image obtained by adding three sinusoidal functions with different coefficients, and then the mathematical model is reasonably arranged symmetrically around the origin to obtain the SIN2-shaped blade surface.
[0010] Furthermore, a support column is installed at the bottom of the main engine, connected to an external wind-control system. This wind-control system is an auxiliary system based on a fan-shaped barrier and a tail rudder. It consists of a fan-shaped barrier, a barrier bracket, a tail rudder plate, a tail rudder crossbar, and a bottom support column. The barrier bracket is connected to a bearing on the top plate for free rotation, and the barrier bracket is connected to the barrier. The tail rudder plate, tail rudder crossbar, barrier bracket, and fan-shaped barrier form a lever structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the vertical projection of a set of fan-shaped barriers is two quarter circles, and the two quarter circles are symmetrically distributed. There are two sets of fan-shaped barriers in total: an upper set assisting the upper impellers, and a lower set assisting the lower impellers. The upper and lower sets of guide plates are connected by two connecting plates, and the upper and lower sets of impellers are staggered.
[0012] Furthermore, the rotation system of this device is divided into three parts. The first part is connected to bearing one inside the support column. Bearing one is connected to the lower vertical shaft. The lower vertical shaft, lower end plate, lower impeller, permanent magnet and bearing two are fixedly connected together, so they can all rotate freely through bearing one. The second part is connected to bearing two at the top of the lower end plate. Bearing two is connected to the upper vertical shaft. The upper vertical shaft, coil, upper end plate, upper impeller and bearing three are fixedly connected together, so they can all rotate freely through bearing two. The third part is connected to bearing three on the top plate. Bearing three is connected to the barrier bracket. The barrier bracket is fixedly connected to the wind system, so the entire wind system can rotate freely through bearing three. The above three rotation systems can rotate freely without affecting each other.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0014] 1. The present invention discloses a vertical-axis, dual-rotor wind turbine capable of adapting to wind direction. The turbine comprises two rotors, both of which utilize Savonius-type impellers. During operation, the upper impeller rotates counterclockwise, driving the generator coils in counterclockwise rotation. The lower impeller rotates clockwise, driving the permanent magnets in clockwise rotation. Because the magnets and coils rotate in opposite directions, the theoretical relative speed for generating electricity is approximately twice that of a single-axis rotor, significantly improving power generation efficiency and increasing wind energy utilization.
[0015] 2. The present invention relates to a vertical-axis dual-rotor wind turbine that can adapt to wind direction. During use, the generator of the present invention can realize an automatic wind-facing function. The entire horizontal automatic wind-facing system adopts a tail rudder plate and a tail rudder rod design. In the design, the length of the tail rudder plate is much larger than the distance from the air inlet of the barrier to the rotating shaft, thereby forming a horizontally placed force-saving lever structure. In addition, the size of the tail rudder plate is relatively large, which ensures that the force of the wind on the tail rudder plate when facing the wind can keep the tail rudder plate parallel to the wind direction. Since the plane where the tail rudder plate is located is parallel to the plane where the actual wind direction is located, this also means that the plane where the air inlet of the barrier is located is roughly perpendicular to the wind direction, thereby realizing the horizontal automatic wind-facing function of the system. Based on the relevant principles of solid geometry, this design enables the system to effectively face the wind, thereby significantly improving the power generation efficiency and improving the utilization rate of wind energy.
[0016] 3. The present invention describes a vertical-axis dual-rotor wind turbine capable of adapting to wind direction. The present invention independently designs the concave and convex shapes of the S-shaped impeller. The windward side of the generator rotor adopts a SIN2 shape, which maximizes average power and provides stable torque. The leeward side adopts a perfect semicircular structure, which allows airflow acting on the rear impeller to flow sideways through the impeller, reducing resistance to the impeller. The combination of these two shapes creates a novel impeller structure that significantly improves power generation efficiency and stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments represent only a part of the present invention, not all of it. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without innovative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 Technical solution: A vertical axis double rotor wind turbine generator capable of adapting to wind direction, comprising an upper vertical axis (2) and a lower vertical axis (5) arranged perpendicular to a horizontal plane, wherein the upper vertical axis (2) is connected to a second bearing (4), and the lower vertical axis (5) is connected to a third bearing (19), so that the upper vertical axis (2) and the lower vertical axis (5) can move freely. The upper vertical axis (2) is fixedly connected to a coil (14), and the lower vertical axis (5) is fixedly connected to a lower end plate (6), which is in turn fixedly connected to six permanent magnets (3). When the generator is working, the upper and lower impellers rotate in opposite directions, and the theoretical relative speed is twice the speed of a single impeller, thereby greatly improving the power generation efficiency.
[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide system is connected to the main engine through a bearing (1) on the top plate (18), so it can rotate freely in the horizontal direction. When the wind acts on the generator, the tail rudder plate (9) is subjected to the wind force, forming a horizontally placed force-saving lever structure, so that the generator can be horizontally facing the wind. The tail rudder plate (9) structure is a plate that crosses up and down, and a support column (8) is installed at the bottom of the generator. The entire system consists of four guide plates, which are projected into four arcs to form a perfect circle. The two upper guide plates (12) are connected by a barrier bracket (10), and the lower guide plate (15) is connected to the corresponding upper guide plate (12) by a connecting plate (17), thereby playing the role of guiding.
[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the generator is working, due to the different arc opening directions of the upper impeller (11) and the lower impeller (7), the upper impeller (11) rotates counterclockwise and the lower impeller (7) rotates clockwise. The impeller generally uses a Savonius type (S type) impeller, but the generator independently designs the shape of the impeller concave and convex surface. The windward side uses a SIN2-shaped blade surface (20) to maximize the power of wind power, and the leeward side uses a semicircular blade surface (21) to reduce air resistance. The impeller formed by the two blade shapes is combined to form a Savonius type (S type) impeller, which can greatly improve the power generation.
[0023] Working principle: When using the vertical axis twin-rotor wind turbine generator capable of adapting to wind direction, the generator is first roughly fixed by the support column (8). Then, when the wind acts on the generator, the guide system will quickly calibrate the wind direction. After the calibration is completed, the wind will act on the windward surface (concave surface) of the upper impeller (11) and the windward surface (concave surface) of the lower impeller (7). However, due to the shielding of the guide plate, the leeward surface (convex surface) of the two sets of impellers will not be affected by the wind. At this time, the generator starts to rotate and work. The upper impeller (11) drives the coil (14) to rotate counterclockwise, and the lower impeller (7) drives the six permanent magnets (3) to start rotating clockwise. At this time, the wind energy is converted into electrical energy by cutting the magnetic flux lines. In actual use, the length of the support column (8) and the length of the tail rudder rod (16) can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In this way, the use process of the vertical axis twin-rotor wind turbine generator capable of adapting to wind direction is completed.
[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, those skilled in the relevant art may make various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments without violating the principles and core concepts of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
