Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and specifically to wind power generation devices. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional wind power generation systems, the generator rotor and impeller employ a synchronous drive design, ensuring that the rotor speed and impeller speed remain synchronized. When the outside wind speed is low, the impeller can capture less wind energy, resulting in insufficient energy to maintain a high operating speed, thus causing the impeller speed to decrease. Due to the synchronized speeds of the generator rotor and impeller, the decrease in impeller speed is directly transmitted to the generator rotor, causing it to also decrease. Since the generator's power output is closely related to the rotor speed, a decrease in rotor speed weakens the electromagnetic induction process within the generator, reducing the output power and ultimately leading to insufficient overall generator output. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a wind power generation device to solve the problem of insufficient overall power generation of the generator when the outside wind speed is low.
[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a wind power generation device, including a support assembly, a wind turbine assembly, and a power generation assembly; the wind turbine assembly includes a main shaft and an impeller, the main shaft is fixedly mounted on the support assembly, and the impeller is rotatably mounted on the main shaft; the power generation assembly includes a first power generation unit and a second power generation unit, the stators of the first power generation unit and the second power generation unit are both fixedly mounted on the main shaft, and the outer rotors of the first power generation unit and the second power generation unit are both fixedly connected to the impeller.
[0005] Beneficial Effects: By setting up a first power generation unit and a second power generation unit, with both stators fixed on the main shaft and their outer rotors fixedly connected to the impeller, the rotation of the impeller simultaneously drives the outer rotors of both units to rotate relative to the stators. Compared to setting up only a single generator, under the same wind conditions, the first and second power generation units can work simultaneously, converting the mechanical energy captured by the impeller into electrical energy more efficiently and fully, effectively increasing the overall power generation, improving wind energy utilization efficiency and power generation efficiency, and solving the problem of insufficient overall generator power generation when the outside wind speed is low. Furthermore, under conditions of high wind speed and high impeller input power, the dual-generator setup can more effectively carry and convert input energy, avoiding the power saturation or conversion efficiency reduction problems that may occur with a single generator, thereby maximizing the utilization rate and power generation benefits of wind energy resources. Moreover, the first and second power generation units operate independently, working collaboratively to increase the total output power while maintaining partial power generation capacity in the event of a single unit failure, significantly improving system fault tolerance and operational continuity.
[0006] In one optional embodiment, the impeller includes a first support plate, a second support plate, and blades; the first support plate is rotatably connected to the main shaft; the second support plate is rotatably connected to the main shaft and is spaced apart from the first support plate along the extension direction of the main shaft; both ends of the blades are connected to the first support plate and the second support plate, respectively; wherein, the outer rotor of the first power generation unit is connected to the first support plate, and the outer rotor of the second power generation unit is connected to the second support plate.
[0007] Beneficial effects: The impeller is spaced apart along the main shaft direction by the first and second support plates and connected by blades, so that the load on the blades is distributed to the two independent support plates, which significantly reduces the risk of single-point stress concentration and improves the fatigue resistance and structural reliability of the impeller; the outer rotor of the first power generation unit is connected to the first support plate and the outer rotor of the second power generation unit is connected to the second support plate, so that when the impeller rotates, the mechanical kinetic energy can be synchronously transferred to the outer rotor of the first and second power generation units through the first and second support plates, realizing parallel power generation of the two power generation units.
[0008] In one optional embodiment, the first power generation unit is located on one side of the first support plate along the main shaft axis, and the stator of the first power generation unit is fixed on the main shaft, and the outer rotor of the first power generation unit is fixedly connected to the first support plate.
[0009] Beneficial effects: Positioning the first power generation unit on one side of the first support plate along the main shaft avoids interference with the impeller sweep area. The stator of the first power generation unit is securely fixed to the main shaft, and the outer rotor of the first power generation unit is connected to the first support plate. This allows the first support plate to directly drive the outer rotor of the first power generation unit to rotate efficiently when the impeller rotates, reducing intermediate energy transfer links and losses, and enabling the impeller's mechanical energy to be converted into electrical energy more quickly and fully. Simultaneously, the stator of the first power generation unit being fixed to the main shaft ensures the stability of the power generation process. Precise positioning and coordinated operation of all components effectively improve power generation efficiency and system reliability, ensuring that the first power generation unit can stably output electrical energy.
[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the outer rotor of the first power generation unit is detachably connected to the first support plate via a first fastener.
[0011] Beneficial effects: The outer rotor of the first power generation unit is detachably connected to the first support plate via the first fastener, which improves the convenience of maintenance and repair of the first power generation unit. When the first power generation unit malfunctions or needs to be upgraded, the first power generation unit and the first support plate can be disassembled without complicated operations, effectively shortening downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the second power generation unit is located on one side of the second support plate along the main shaft axis, and the stator of the second power generation unit is fixed on the main shaft, and the outer rotor of the second power generation unit is fixedly connected to the second support plate.
[0013] Beneficial effects: Positioning the second power generation unit on one side of the second support plate along the main shaft avoids interference with the impeller sweep area. The stator of the second power generation unit is securely fixed to the main shaft, and the outer rotor of the second power generation unit is connected to the second support plate. This allows the second support plate to directly drive the outer rotor of the second power generation unit to rotate efficiently when the impeller rotates, reducing intermediate energy transfer links and losses, and enabling the impeller's mechanical energy to be converted into electrical energy more quickly and fully. Simultaneously, the stator of the second power generation unit being fixed to the main shaft ensures the stability of the power generation process. Precise positioning and coordinated operation of all components effectively improve power generation efficiency and system reliability, ensuring that the second power generation unit can stably output electrical energy.

When the second generator unit malfunctions or needs to be upgraded, the second generator unit and the second support plate can be disassembled without complicated operations, effectively shortening downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
[0016] In one alternative implementation, the first power generation unit is a disc generator.
[0017] Beneficial effects: Using a disc generator as the primary power generation unit offers several advantages. Its flat, disc-shaped structure, small axial dimensions, and compact design allow for efficient installation within limited space. Furthermore, its more uniform air gap magnetic field distribution effectively reduces torque fluctuations, improving power generation stability and power quality. Moreover, the disc generator's rotor has low rotational inertia and rapid dynamic response, enabling it to quickly adapt to wind speed changes and promptly convert wind energy into electrical energy. This improves wind energy capture efficiency, increases power generation, and enhances the adaptability and reliability of the entire wind power generation system under different wind conditions.

[0020] In one optional embodiment, the main shaft, the impeller, the first power generation unit, and the second power generation unit are coaxially arranged.
[0021] Beneficial effects: The coaxial arrangement of the main shaft, impeller, first power generation unit, and second power generation unit ensures that the mechanical energy generated by the impeller rotation can be efficiently and without deviation transmitted to the first and second power generation units along a straight line. This reduces energy loss caused by eccentricity or angular deviation, greatly improving the conversion efficiency of wind energy to electricity.
