Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the vertical axis wind driven generator field more specifically relates to a kind of lightweight direct-drive magnetic suspension vertical axis wind driven generator of integrated omni-directional wind blade. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a clean and renewable energy, wind power generation technology has gradually become an important part of the energy strategy of each country. The principle of wind power generation is to capture wind energy by wind blade and convert it into mechanical energy, and then convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by generator. According to the difference of the direction of the rotating shaft of the wind blade, the wind driven generator is mainly divided into horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. Among them, the vertical axis wind driven generator shows higher energy conversion efficiency and more compact volume compared with the horizontal axis type due to its unique structural design, which makes it popular in small and medium-sized and micro wind power generation equipment field, and becomes the preferred solution in this field.
[0003] The deficiencies of the prior art: the traditional vertical axis wind driven generator usually adopts the layout of wind blade, transmission shaft, speed changer and generator in series. In the energy transmission process, the friction between the mechanical transmission components inevitably causes energy loss, which reduces the overall energy conversion efficiency. In order to alleviate this problem, the industry tries to introduce magnetic suspension technology to reduce mechanical transmission friction. But limited by the size and cost of the equipment, the magnetic suspension force in the generator is relatively small at present, which is difficult to effectively overcome the gravity to achieve stable magnetic suspension state, resulting in wear of wind blade and transmission components during operation, affecting the service life and power generation efficiency of the equipment. The existing vertical axis wind driven generator also has obvious limitations in operating environment. They usually need to be installed in areas with stable wind direction and high wind speed, because these devices are difficult to start and run stably under low wind speed conditions, and at the same time, additional braking system is needed to prevent equipment overload when wind speed is high, and alignment system is also needed to ensure that the blade is always perpendicular to the wind direction, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and maintenance cost of the equipment, limits its application and promotion in more complex environments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The specific implementation of the utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the utility model, but not to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model relates to a kind of light-weight direct-drive magnetic suspension vertical axis wind turbine of integrated omni-directional fan blade, including stand 1, motor main shaft 2, lower end cover 3, shell 4, fan blade connecting flange 5, omni-directional fan blade 6, radial rolling bearing A 7, motor stator 8, motor rotor 9, axial blocking ring 10, axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11, thrust disc 12, rotating axial gap adjusting ring 13, upper end cover 14, radial rolling bearing B 15 and upper bearing blocking ring 16.The connection mode and function of each component are as follows:
[0024] The fixing and supporting structure of stator part: stand 1 is connected with ground base by high-strength bolt, for supporting the weight of entire device and providing structural stability, displacement will not occur in the device running process due to vibration or wind action.Motor main shaft 2 as the stator part of entire device, is connected with stand 1 by bolt.Motor main shaft 2 adopts high-strength alloy steel material, after precision machining and heat treatment, ensure its rigidity and durability under high load condition.
[0025] Integration and rotation of rotor part: the lower end cover 3, the shell 4 and the fan blade connection flange 5 are connected by high-precision bolts to form a whole, which constitutes the rotor part. The whole is precisely processed to ensure the coaxiality and concentricity between the parts, so as to reduce the unbalanced moment in the process of rotation. The omnidirectional fan blade 6 is connected with the fan blade connection flange 5 through threads. The omnidirectional fan blade 6 is made of lightweight composite material, and its aerodynamic design significantly reduces the blade mass and axial friction by optimizing the blade surface and channel structure, thereby reducing energy loss. The channel design of the blade is based on Bernoulli's principle, which generates a pressure difference through the area ratio of the inlet and outlet to achieve high-efficiency thrust conversion under the condition of slight wind.
[0026] Radial bearing and direct drive power generation structure: the lower end cover 3 is installed on the motor spindle 2 through radial rolling bearings A 7 to realize radial bearing. The radial rolling bearings A 7 adopt double-row deep groove ball bearings, which can bear larger radial load, and reduce friction loss through a lubrication system. The motor stator 8 is assembled to the motor spindle 2 by interference fit, and the motor rotor 9 is assembled to the shell 4 by interference fit. The axial retaining ring 10 is arranged between the motor stator 8 and the motor spindle 2 for axial positioning of the motor stator 8, and ensures the uniformity of the air gap between the motor stator 8 and the motor rotor 9. The rotation of the shell 4 directly drives the motor stator 8 to generate current, which adopts a direct drive power generation method to avoid energy loss and mechanical wear caused by traditional gear transmission.
[0027] Axial magnetic suspension and protection structure: the axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11 is assembled to the motor spindle 2 by interference fit, and the thrust disc 12 is installed on the shell 4 by bolt connection. The axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11 includes two axial magnetic suspension bearings, which adopt a composite design of permanent magnets and electromagnetic coils to balance the electromagnetic attraction and permanent magnet attraction, offset the gravity of the rotor part, realize non-contact support, significantly reduce friction loss, and the thrust disc 12 is located between the axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11. The rotating axial gap adjusting ring 13 is installed on the motor spindle 2 by thread connection, and the size of the air gap between the axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11 and the thrust disc 12 is accurately controlled by adjusting the length of the threaded screw, to ensure the stability and reliability of the magnetic suspension system. To prevent the impact of excessive axial load on the axial magnetic suspension bearing assembly 11, two radial rolling bearings B 15 are provided on the top of the motor spindle 2 to provide radial support and axial protection. The upper end cover 14 is assembled to the shell 4 by bolt connection and forms a whole with the fan blade connection flange 5. The upper bearing retaining ring 16 is assembled to the upper end cover 14 by bolt connection, and together with the two radial rolling bearings B 15 realizes the axial protection function to ensure the operation stability of the device under extreme working conditions.
[0028] Reference Figure 3The axial magnetic levitation bearing assembly 11 is installed on the motor shaft 2, and the axial magnetic levitation bearing adopts a composite design of permanent magnets and electromagnetic coils. The permanent magnets generate fixed permanent magnetic attraction to the thrust disc 12, and the electromagnetic coils generate adjustable electromagnetic attraction by accurately controlling the current, and the two balance the gravity of the rotor part. The single-sided air gap between the axial magnetic levitation bearing and the thrust disc 12 is s, which is dynamically adjusted by the rotating axial gap adjusting ring 13 to ensure the stability of the system under different working conditions. The permanent magnetic attraction bears most of the gravity, thereby reducing the number of turns and current demand of the electromagnetic coil, achieving the purpose of reducing the volume and power consumption of the magnetic levitation bearing. The electromagnetic coil adopts a high-efficiency heat dissipation design to ensure that it can still maintain stable attraction output under high load conditions.
[0029] With reference to Figure 4 The two radial rolling bearings B 15 installed on the motor shaft 2 provide radial support and axial protection for the upper end cover 14. The upper end cover 14 is connected to the rotor part of the generator through high-precision bolt connection, realizing the axial suspension of the rotor part. The single-sided axial air gap between the radial rolling bearing B 15 and the upper end cover 14 is d, which is smaller than the single-sided air gap s between the axial magnetic levitation bearing and the thrust disc 12, thereby providing mechanical backup protection when the magnetic suspension system fails or the load is too large, ensuring the safety and reliability of the device.
[0030] With reference to Figure 5 The omnidirectional fan blade 6 of the utility model can convert the thrust of fluid from any direction (vertical, horizontal or diagonal plane) into rotational motion around a single axis, and is particularly suitable for environments with unstable or multi-directional wind direction changes. The blades A 18 and the blades B 19 are based on channels, and the inlet of each channel is larger than the outlet, and the ratio can be varied. When a breeze flows through, the area difference between the inlet and the outlet generates a pressure difference, thereby generating thrust from the inlet to the outlet. The channel is curved, and the length is optimized according to fluid mechanics to maximize energy conversion efficiency. The inlet is exposed on one face of the device, forming a multi-directional fluid channel. The channels are grouped to form the faces of a geometric body, each face including one or more channels, forming one or more layers of channels. All the faces formed by the channels together form a geometric body that rotates around a single axis, and the orientation of each face is designed to make the channels push the device to move in a predetermined rotation direction. This design can effectively utilize horizontal, vertical and / or diagonal wind power, improve energy conversion efficiency, and reduce dependence on wind direction stability.
[0031] When the wind force acts on the omni-directional wind blade 6 of the wind driven generator, the blade is pushed by the wind force and rotates around the vertical shaft. The blade is connected with the fan blade connecting flange 5, and the rotation thereof transmits the mechanical energy to the motor rotor 9 in a direct drive mode. The generator part usually adopts the electromagnetic induction principle, and when the rotor rotates in the winding of the motor stator 8, the alternating electromotive force is generated by cutting the magnetic induction lines, so that the mechanical energy is converted into the electric energy. After the electric energy is processed by the rectification, inversion and other circuits, the stable alternating current or direct current can be outputted, and is used by the user or is connected to the power grid.
[0032] The above detailed description is used to further explain the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the utility model, and it should be understood that the above description is only the specific implementation of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
