[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment provides a sightseeing wind turbine generator set that integrates wind power generation and sightseeing, allowing for close observation and learning of wind power generation knowledge. It is beneficial for popularizing the environmental significance of wind power generation, the principles of wind power generation, its technology and development history, while also having strong safety features.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sightseeing wind turbine generator provided in this embodiment includes a power generation device, a sightseeing device, and a control device. The power generation device is used to convert wind energy into mechanical energy and further into electrical energy. The sightseeing device is used to provide a sightseeing area. The control device is used to control the sightseeing area to switch between a sightseeing state and a closed state according to the wind speed conditions.

[0034] Specifically, the power generation device includes a tower 1, a generator set, and a wind turbine rotor set 3. The tower 1 is cylindrical and has a hollow interior. The generator set is installed on the top of the tower 1 and is connected to the tower 1. The wind turbine rotor set 3 is installed on one side of the generator set and is used to capture wind energy and convert it into mechanical energy. The wind turbine rotor set 3 is connected to the transmission structure inside the generator set. The generator set is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Both the wind turbine rotor set 3 and the generator set are commonly used devices in the prior art, and their structures will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Optionally, the tower 1 includes a ladder frame and an elevator (not shown in the figure). The ladder frame is located inside the tower 1, with its height matching that of the tower 1. The ladder frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tower 1 along its height direction. The elevator is installed inside the tower 1, allowing visitors to climb the ladder frame to the observation deck 4 or take the elevator to the observation deck 4. Both the ladder frame and the elevator are common devices in the prior art, and their structures will not be described in detail here.

[0036] For example, the generator set also includes a nacelle 2, the transmission structure is installed inside the nacelle 2, and the nacelle 2 is connected to the tower 1.

[0037] The sightseeing facility includes a sightseeing platform 4, which is installed on the generator set and serves as a sightseeing area for tourists.

[0038] In this embodiment, the observation deck 4 is installed on the top of the cabin 2. Furthermore, a skylight is opened on the top of the cabin 2, and a ladder is installed inside the cabin 2. The ladder is erected over the skylight, and tourists can climb to the observation deck 4 on the top via the ladder after entering the cabin 2.

[0039] For example, the observation deck 4 includes a platform and a guardrail 5. The platform is installed on top of the cabin 2, and the guardrail 5 surrounds the platform. With the above configuration, tourists stand on the platform, and the guardrail 5 ensures their personal safety and prevents them from falling. After being put into use, the guardrail 5 is regularly maintained and inspected to promptly identify and eliminate safety hazards and reduce the occurrence of accidents.

[0040] Optionally, a first aid kit, emergency escape device, AED and other first aid supplies can be placed in the platform, and a lightning rod can be installed in the platform to protect against lightning.

[0041] Specifically, the control device includes a speedometer, an analysis module, and a control module. The speedometer is installed on the wind turbine rotor 3 to monitor the external wind speed. The analysis module connects the speedometer and the control module. The analysis module stores a wind speed threshold. When the wind speed value of the speedometer exceeds the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing device to a closed state. When the wind speed value of the speedometer is lower than the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing device to a sightseeing state. Through the above settings, the sightseeing platform 4 is controlled to switch between sightseeing and closed states according to the wind speed conditions, preventing tourists from accidentally entering the sightseeing platform 4 in extreme windy weather and endangering their personal safety.

[0042] It should be noted that the wind speed threshold pre-stored in the analysis module is the starting wind speed of the wind turbine rotor 3. The wind turbine rotor 3 only starts running when the wind speed value of the speedometer reaches the wind speed threshold. At this time, the observation deck 4 switches to the closed state to prevent tourists from being electrocuted, further enhancing safety. When the wind speed value of the speedometer does not reach the wind speed threshold, the wind turbine rotor 3 stops, and the observation deck 4 switches to the sightseeing state, allowing tourists to observe and learn about wind power generation up close.

[0043] Preferably, the sightseeing wind turbine generator set provided in this embodiment also includes a warning light. The warning light is connected to the control module and is installed on the generator set or the sightseeing platform 4. When the wind speed value of the speedometer exceeds the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing platform 4 to the closed state and controls the warning light to light up to warn tourists. When the wind speed value of the speedometer is lower than the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing platform 4 to the sightseeing state and controls the warning light to turn off.

[0044] Preferably, the sightseeing wind turbine generator set provided in this embodiment also includes an automatic door. The automatic door is installed on the skylight and is connected to the control module. When the wind speed value of the speedometer exceeds the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing platform 4 to the closed state and drives the automatic door to close to seal the skylight, further preventing tourists from accidentally entering the sightseeing platform 4. When the wind speed value of the speedometer is lower than the wind speed threshold, the control module switches the sightseeing platform 4 to the sightseeing state and drives the automatic door to open to open the skylight.

[0045] The sightseeing wind turbine generator set provided in this embodiment integrates wind power generation and sightseeing. It does not affect the normal operation of the generator set, and it also makes it convenient for tourists to observe and learn about wind power generation knowledge up close. It is conducive to popularizing the environmental significance of wind power generation, the principle of wind power generation, technology and development history. At the same time, it can control the sightseeing platform 4 to switch between sightseeing mode and closed mode according to the wind speed conditions, so as to prevent tourists from accidentally entering the sightseeing platform 4 in extreme windy weather and endangering their personal safety.

[0047] This embodiment provides a sightseeing wind turbine generator set, which differs from the sightseeing wind turbine generator set provided in Embodiment 1 in the structure and installation position of the sightseeing platform 4.

[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 The observation deck 4 is installed at the bottom of the cabin 2. A floor window is opened at the bottom of the cabin 2. A ladder is installed inside the observation deck 4 and is placed over the floor window. After entering the cabin 2, tourists can enter the observation deck 4 through the ladder.

[0049] Furthermore, the observation deck 4 includes a steel frame 6 and a shell with an open top. The steel frame 6 is fixed to the bottom of the cabin 2, and the shell is stably mounted on the steel frame 6. First aid kits, emergency escape devices, AEDs, and other first aid supplies are placed inside the shell. Preferably, the shell is made of transparent tempered laminated glass, allowing visitors to observe through it.
