Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine technology, and more specifically, to a vertical axis wind turbine blade structure with low wind resistance and high energy capture. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical axis wind turbines are widely used due to their compact structure and adaptability to wind direction, but traditional wind turbine blades mostly adopt flat or simple curved designs, which have the following limitations:
[0003] The single-layer blade layout results in insufficient frontal area at certain angles during rotation, leading to low energy utilization. Severe airflow separation on the back of the blades creates a high-resistance area. Although the blade structure described in patent CN211082134U has ventilation holes on the back of the blades that allow unidirectional airflow, the opening and closing efficiency of the baffles is low when the back of the blades is not perpendicular to the wind direction. Furthermore, the overall vertical flat shape of the blades makes it difficult to efficiently ventilate and guide airflow to reduce wind resistance.
[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a low-wind-resistance, high-energy-capture vertical axis wind turbine blade structure to overcome the aforementioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A low-drag, high-energy-capture vertical axis wind turbine blade structure includes a main shaft, a blade body, and a conical guide vane. The blade body is divided into upper, middle, and lower layers and is manufactured using an integrated molding process. The material used is a fiber thermoplastic composite material. The conical guide vane is used to fix the blade body to the main shaft through an ultrasonic welding process.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper wind vane includes a first upper blade, a second upper blade, and a third upper blade, which are evenly distributed at 120° along the circumference of the main axis.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the middle layer wind turbine blade includes a first middle layer blade, a second middle layer blade, and a third middle layer blade, wherein the first middle layer blade, the second middle layer blade, and the third middle layer blade are evenly distributed at 120° along the circumference of the main axis.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lower blade includes a first lower blade, a second lower blade, and a third lower blade, which are evenly distributed at 120° along the circumference of the main axis.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the included angle between the upper, middle and lower blades is 40 degrees, and the vertical distance between adjacent upper and lower blades is greater than 150mm.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, each blade adopts a horizontal hook shape, with the ratio of the distance D between the center point of the curved arc surface and the end of the blade to the distance D' between the center point and the beginning of the blade being D / D'≤0.5, and a lateral C shape, with the ratio of the arc surface depth H' to its opening distance H being 0.25≤H' / H≤0.5, and the formed enclosed wind-gathering groove is close to the end of the blade body.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the conical air guide knife is disposed in the middle of the fan blade body and extends along a horizontal path.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it achieves the effect of a composite curved surface + a "wind knife" guiding structure on the back of the fan blade.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vertical axis wind turbine blade structure with low wind resistance and high energy capture is provided.
[0028] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-5According to an embodiment of the present invention, a low-resistance, high-energy-capture vertical axis wind turbine blade structure includes a main shaft 1, a blade body 2, and a conical guide vane 3. The blade body 2 is divided into upper, middle, and lower layers and is manufactured using an integrated molding process. The material used is a fiber thermoplastic composite material. The conical guide vane 3 is used to fix the blade body 2 to the main shaft 1 via ultrasonic welding. The upper blade includes a first upper blade 211, a second upper blade 212, and a third upper blade 213, which are evenly distributed at 120° intervals along the circumference of the main shaft 1. The middle blade includes a first middle blade 221, a second middle blade 222, and a third middle blade 223, which are also distributed along the circumference of the main shaft 1. The blades are evenly distributed at 120°. The lower blades include a first lower blade 231, a second lower blade 232, and a third lower blade 233. The first lower blade 231, the second lower blade 232, and the third lower blade 233 are evenly distributed at 120° along the circumference of the main axis 1. The blade angle between the upper, middle, and lower blades is 40 degrees. The vertical distance between adjacent blades in the upper and lower layers is greater than 150 mm. Each blade adopts a horizontal hook shape. The ratio of the distance D between the center point of the curved arc surface and the end of the blade to the distance D' between the center point and the beginning of the blade is D / D'≤0.5. The blades are also C-shaped in the lateral direction. The ratio of the arc surface depth H' to its opening distance H is 0.25≤H' / H≤0.5. The enclosed wind-gathering groove formed is close to the end of the blade body 2. The conical guide vane 3 is located in the middle of the blade body 2 and extends along a horizontal path.
[0029] By using a composite curved surface and a "wind knife" airflow guiding structure on the back of the blades, 360° wind-catching without dead angles is achieved, which improves the energy capture efficiency in low wind speed environments, reduces wind resistance on the back of the blades, reduces eddy noise, and improves the rotation efficiency of the blades, simplifies the manufacturing process, and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0030] When in use, when the blades are placed in a wind field, the "C"-shaped wind-gathering grooves formed by the composite curved surface at the end of the blades capture the airflow and generate torque to drive the blades to rotate. The 40° angle design between the layers ensures that at least one blade is in the position of maximum windward face during the rotation of the blades, thereby generating continuous torque. At the same time, the wind-gathering grooves set closer to the outer edge of the blades can improve the torque of the blades to a certain extent. During the rotation, the airflow blowing towards the back of the blades will be cut by the conical air-guided blade structure and guided to the surrounding area along the curved surface of the back of the blades. The vertical spacing between adjacent layers of blades is ≥150mm to ensure sufficient space for the airflow on the back to be discharged, thereby reducing the resistance encountered by the blades during operation.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
