Wind power generator

Abstract

To provide a wind power generator that can generate power irrespective of a natural environment.SOLUTION: A wind power generator includes: a housing (1) that has a vertically half tubular shape and accommodates a power generator (2), a dust-proof and water-proof wall (3), a bearing (4), and a shaft (7) to which a propeller (8) is fitted; a cover (12) for protecting all from the power generator (2) through to the dust-proof and water-proof wall (3); and a wind power generator cover (14) for accommodating a wind power generator unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is mounted on a moving object such as a vehicle or a train, and the propeller rotates and generates electricity by receiving wind due to the movement of the vehicle or train.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, wind turbines have generated electricity using natural wind.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] This had the following drawbacks. Conventionally, wind power generation was affected by the natural environment and stable power could not be obtained. The present invention was made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention stores in a housing (1) that is vertically halved in a cylindrical shape a generator (2), a dust and waterproof wall (3), a bearing (4), and a shaft (7) with a propeller (8) attached thereto, and covers from the generator (2) to the dust and waterproof wall (3) with a cover (12). Regarding the wind turbine cover (14) shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it houses the wind turbine unit of FIG. 1. A wire mesh (17) is attached to the front and rear surfaces of the wind turbine cover (14) to prevent scattering. A shutter (18) is attached on the wire mesh (17) on the front surface. The rear cover (15) is also attached so that it can be opened and closed. In this figure, two generator units can be stored.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] Conventional wind turbines were fixed, so they had to wait for natural wind. However, in the present invention, it is mounted on a moving object such as a vehicle or a train, and the propeller receives wind due to the movement of the vehicle or train and rotates to generate electricity.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is composed of a wind power generator unit, a cover (14) of the wind power generator, and a control unit of the wind power generator unit and the cover (14) of the wind power generator.

[0008] The wind power generator unit in FIG. 1 will be described. Inside a housing (1) that is vertically halved into a cylindrical shape, a generator (2), a bearing (4), and a dust and waterproof wall (3) are attached on the left and right. A temperature sensor (10) is attached to the generator (2) to monitor the heating of the generator. A rotation speed pointer (5) and a rotation speed sensor (6) for grasping the rotation speed are attached between the dust and waterproof wall (3) and the bearing (4). A curved propeller (8) is provided on the shaft (7) to make it easier to receive wind. Electricity generated by the left and right generators (2) is transmitted through a control device (13) to a battery, a lithium-ion battery, an all-solid battery, a hydrogen generator, overhead lines, etc. (9). Also, from the control device (13), the power generation amount, temperature, and rotation speed are displayed on a display device (11). A cover (12) is provided to protect from the left and right generators (2) to the dust and waterproof wall (3).

[0009] The wind turbine cover (14) shown in Fig. 2 will be described. Its shape is box-like, and wire meshes (17) are installed on the front and rear surfaces. This is to prevent bird strikes and the intrusion of flying objects. In front of the wire meshes (17), shutters (18) are provided for countermeasures against heavy rain, heavy snow, overheating of the generator, and control of the rotation speed. These shutters (18) are interlocked with the generator control unit shown in Fig. 4, and when the vehicle engine is stopped, the front shutters (18) and the rear cover (15) can be automatically closed. The feature of this wind turbine cover (14) is that it can reduce the noise peculiar to wind turbines. The noise is discharged into the sky by the rear cover (15). In the figure, it is shown that two wind turbines can be accommodated. The wind guide (19) can concentrate the wind and send it to the propeller (8). By installing the wind turbine downward, water and garbage will not accumulate. In addition, for storage in the wind turbine cover (14), deterioration is suppressed, and in terms of maintenance, maintenance inspection and repair can be easily carried out simply by removing the fixing bolt fittings (16). The shutters (18) and the rear cover (15) can also be operated manually. This is for countermeasures against heavy snow, heavy rain, etc.
