Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of rotary sail technology, and more particularly to high-concentration rotary sail structures. Background Technology
[0002] A sprocket sail is a power system that uses aerodynamics to replace traditional fuel. It primarily works by driving a cylinder to rotate, utilizing the Magnus effect to generate a force perpendicular to the airflow, thus propelling the ship forward. Therefore, sprocket sails are often installed on ship hulls to reduce fuel consumption.
[0003] However, during ship navigation, the wind speed cannot be guaranteed, and the wind direction is dispersed. Therefore, during the use of rotary sails, it is difficult to receive sufficient wind force, thus affecting the working effect of the rotary sail. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of rotary sails, we propose a high-wind-gathering rotary sail structure to correct the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a high-concentration wind turbine sail structure to solve the problem that the wind turbine sail is difficult to be blown by enough wind force during use because the wind speed cannot be guaranteed and the wind direction is divergent.
[0005] This application provides a high-concentration wind turbine sail structure, including a wind-concentrating tube: a positioning plate is provided above the wind-concentrating tube, and a rectangular opening is provided at the top of the wind-concentrating tube.

Limiting rings are fixedly connected to the rods of the transmission rods, and the wind turbine sail body is fixedly connected to the rods of the pair of transmission rods. A driving mechanism is provided above the positioning plate.
[0006] In some embodiments, a base plate is provided below the air-gathering duct, and a pair of support plates are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, with the tops of the pair of support plates fixedly connected to the bottom of the air-gathering duct.

In order to better understand the technical means of the embodiments of this application and to implement them in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of this application more obvious and understandable, specific implementation methods of this application are described below.
[0012] 1. Through the arrangement of the air intake duct, air collection duct, and positioning plate, air enters the air intake duct and is discharged into the air collection duct. According to Bernoulli's principle in fluid mechanics, when a fluid such as air is in steady flow, the velocity is inversely proportional to the pressure. When the airflow enters a narrow channel, the cross-sectional area decreases and the velocity increases, thereby increasing the wind force on the rotary sail body and thus increasing the thrust on the rotary sail body.

By setting up the positioning plate, rectangular opening, and air-gathering pipe, turn off the motor, move the positioning plate and sealing shell upward, and then take out the rotary sail body through the rectangular opening for maintenance. When it is necessary to reinstall the rotary sail body, insert the rotary sail body into the rectangular opening and insert the bottom end of the transmission rod into the slot to complete the installation of the rotary sail body.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This application provides a high-concentration wind turbine sail structure, including a wind-concentrating pipe 1: a positioning plate 2 is provided above the wind-concentrating pipe 1, and a rectangular opening 3 is provided at the top of the wind-concentrating pipe 1. A pair of transmission rods 4 pass through the positioning plate 2, and the bottom ends of the pair of transmission rods 4 pass through the rectangular opening 3. A pair of slots 5 matching the transmission rods 4 are provided on the inner wall of the wind-concentrating pipe 1. A limit ring 6 is fixedly connected to the rod of the transmission rod 4, and a turbine sail body 7 is fixedly connected to the rod of the pair of transmission rods 4. A driving mechanism is provided above the positioning plate 2.
[0028] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the air-gathering pipe 1 is supported by the base plate 8 and the support plate 9. The base plate 8 is provided below the air-gathering pipe 1, and a pair of support plates 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 8. The top of the pair of support plates 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air-gathering pipe 1. Air-guiding pipes 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the air-gathering pipe 1. The pair of air-guiding pipes 10 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the air-gathering pipe 1.
[0029] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the rotating drum sail body 7 can be driven to rotate by the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a motor 11 and a pair of first pulleys 12. The motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate 2, and the pair of first pulleys 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission rod 4. A first belt 13 is transmitted between the pair of first pulleys 12. A second pulley 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 11 and the rod body of the transmission rod 4. A second belt 15 is transmitted between the pair of second pulleys 14.
[0030] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the motor 11 is shielded by the sealing shell 16 to prevent the motor 11 from coming into contact with rainwater. The sealing shell 16 is fitted on the motor 11 and the transmission rod 4. The sealing shell 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate 2. A pair of support plates 9 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the air gathering pipe 1. The bottom of the base plate 8 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0031] Working principle: In use, the device is placed on the hull, and the motor 11 is started. The motor 11 drives the second pulley 14 to rotate, which in turn drives one of the transmission rods 4 to rotate via the second belt 15. This, in turn, drives the other transmission rod 4 to rotate via the first pulley 12 and the first belt 13, thus achieving the rotation of a pair of rotary sail bodies 7. When the wind enters the duct 10, it is discharged into the wind-gathering pipe 1. According to Bernoulli's principle in fluid mechanics, when a fluid such as air is in steady flow, the velocity is inversely proportional to the pressure. When the airflow enters a narrow channel, the cross-sectional area decreases, and the velocity increases, thereby increasing the wind force on the rotary sail body 7. Furthermore, according to the Magnus effect, when the airflow flows through the rotating rotary sail body 7, a low pressure is generated on one side of the rotary sail body 7, and a high pressure is generated on the other side, thus generating a lateral force perpendicular to the airflow direction. The ship is then propelled forward by the lateral force generated by the natural wind on the rotating swivel body 7. When maintenance of the swivel body 7 is required, the motor 11 is turned off, the positioning plate 2 and the sealing shell 16 are moved upward, and the swivel body 7 is taken out through the rectangular opening 3 for maintenance. When the swivel body 7 needs to be reinstalled, the swivel body 7 is inserted into the rectangular opening 3, and the bottom end of the transmission rod 4 is inserted into the slot 5, thereby completing the installation of the swivel body 7.
