Through reasonable planning and design, the micro vertical axis wind turbine can become an important part of urban green energy and provide support for the sustainable development of the city.
[0003] Nowadays, the traditional vertical axis wind turbine drives the fan blades to rotate by the wind pressure difference between the fan blades. However, the wind direction of the parallel fan blades causes a small wind pressure difference, resulting in the inability to start the fan at low wind speeds, and causing problems such as poor wind energy utilization rate and low power generation hours.

There are at least 2 fan blades. The generator is arranged at one end of the shaft rod. It also includes a flow guide plate, and a top plate and a bottom plate respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the shaft rod. The top plate, the bottom plate and the shaft rod are coaxial. A plurality of the flow guide plates are circumferentially and evenly arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate to form a columnar cover with a hollow side surface, and surround the fan blades. The flow guide plates are all inclined at the same angle to the same side.
[0006] Preferably, the top plate and the bottom plate are circular plates with the same diameter, and the outer sides of the flow guide plates are flush with the edges of the top plate and the bottom plate.
[0007] Preferably, the number of the fan blades is 2, 3 or 4, and at least 2 stiffeners are arranged along the height direction on the inner side of the fan blades.
[0008] Preferably, the number of the stiffeners is 2, 3 or 4, and the stiffeners are stiffening rods or semi-circular stiffening plates.

[0010] Preferably, the materials of the guide vane, the top plate and the bottom plate are wooden board, steel plate, aluminum plate, plastic plate or high molecular material plate.
[0011] Preferably, the length of the shaft rod is 60 cm.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: by adding guide vanes around the traditional vertical axis wind turbine to collect the wind flow, the starting wind speed of the vertical axis wind turbine is reduced, and it can still generate electricity under weak wind conditions, improving the adaptability of the vertical axis wind turbine and making it possible to promote in the gentle breeze area. The structure is simple and the annual power generation hours are increased. Description of the Drawings
