Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile structure that can be easily transported and to a technology that enables the use of electricity generated from natural energy even in unelectrified areas or places where it is difficult to connect to a grid power source. [Background technology]

[0002] A technology has been proposed in which a movable structure such as a container is equipped with solar panels or a wind power generation device, and the inside of the container can be used as a space for living, office work, work, rest, etc. (Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2013-525626 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3227742 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a wind turbine generator is mounted on a movable structure such as a container, the cogging noise of the generator propagates inside the container, creating a noise problem. When the inside of the container is used for living, office work, medical treatment, retail, or other purposes, the noise can impair livability.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile structure that can be used in non-electrified areas and that can suppress noise in a desired space provided inside the structure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The mobile structure of the present invention is a mobile structure including a box-shaped structure configured to be movable and having an internal space, a wind power generation device supported on a peripheral wall of the structure, and a power supply mechanism that supplies power generated by the wind power generation device to electrical equipment provided on the structure, A storage chamber for storing the power supply mechanism is provided inside the structure, and this storage chamber faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall on which the wind power generation device is supported, and a partition wall separating the storage chamber from the space is provided inside the structure.

[0007] With this configuration, the structure is mobile, so that the structure equipped with the wind turbine generator and the power supply mechanism can be easily transported. Since the power generated by the wind turbine generator is supplied to the electrical equipment installed in the structure, the mobile structure can be used in places where a grid power supply is unavailable or in unelectrified areas. The storage chamber that houses the power supply mechanism faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall that supports the wind turbine generator. A partition wall that separates the storage chamber from the space is also installed inside the structure. Therefore, even if noise, including the cogging sound of the generator of the wind turbine generator, propagates into the room, which is the space, the noise can be attenuated by the storage chamber and the partition wall. Therefore, noise in a desired space installed inside the structure can be suppressed.

[0008] The structure may be a box-like structure having a top wall, a bottom wall, and the peripheral wall provided between the top wall and the bottom wall, and having at least one space inside for living, office work, work, rest, store, or medical treatment. In this case, a mobile structure can be constructed using a general box-like structure having a top wall, a bottom wall, and peripheral walls.

[0009] The structure may further include a solar power generation device, and the power supply mechanism may supply the electric power generated by the solar power generation device to the electric device. In this case, both wind power generation and solar power generation can be performed, or if the generated power of one of the power generation devices is insufficient, the generated power of the other power generation device can be used to supplement it.

[0010] The solar power generation device has a solar panel and a panel mount that supports the solar panel on the outer surface of the top wall or peripheral wall of the structure, and the panel mount may include a base member that is welded to a beam of the structure. In this case, since the base member of the panel mount is welded to the beam of the structure, the solar power generation device can be firmly fixed to the structure.

[0011] The outer surface of the peripheral wall of the structure may have an outer peripheral edge and a recessed portion recessed inward from the outer peripheral edge toward the inside of the structure, and the solar power generation device may be supported in this recessed portion. When a solar power generation device is added to the peripheral wall of the structure, it is important that the width of a mobile structure equipped with this solar power generation device does not exceed the limit set by the Road Traffic Act when transported by vehicle. With this configuration, since the solar power generation device is supported in a recessed portion recessed inward from the outer peripheral edge of the peripheral wall, the width of the entire mobile structure can be reduced, and a mobile structure with excellent transportability by vehicle can be realized.

[0012] The solar power generation device may be supported via a rotary support member provided at the upper end of the peripheral wall, and the solar power generation device may be configured to be freely opened and closed around the rotation axis of the rotary support member between a closed position in which the solar power generation device follows the recessed portion and an open position in which the lower end of the solar power generation device is separated from the recessed portion. In this case, for example, by aligning the solar power generation device with the direction of the sun, it is possible to improve the amount of power generation.

[0013] The structure may be a transport container. In this case, the structure can be moved using various means of transport such as automobiles, trains, ships, and aircraft. Because transport containers are highly robust, they can prevent internal devices from being damaged by vibrations and shocks during transport. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The storage compartment of the mobile structure of the present invention faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall on which the wind turbine generator is supported, and a partition wall separating the storage compartment from the space is provided inside the structure, thereby suppressing noise in the space caused by the generator of the wind turbine generator. Since the electricity generated by the wind turbine generator is supplied to the electrical equipment provided in the structure, the mobile structure can be used even in unelectrified areas.

[0016] [First embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 11B. As shown in Fig. 1, a mobile structure 1 according to one embodiment includes a box-shaped structure 4 and a power generation unit 3 supported by the structure 4. The power generation unit 3 includes natural energy power generation devices 7, 8, namely a wind power generation device 7 and a solar power generation device 8, and a power supply mechanism 2 (Fig. 2) that supplies the power generated by these power generation devices 7, 8 to electrical equipment described below. The box-shaped structure 4 is configured to be movable, and includes inside it a space 5 for living, office work, work, rest, store, and / or medical treatment, as well as a storage room 6 described below.

[0017] <Structure 4> The structure 4 shown in Fig. 1 has a generally rectangular top wall 4a and bottom wall 4b, and four peripheral walls 4c shown in Fig. 2 provided between the top wall 4a and bottom wall 4b, and is formed into a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape overall. A door 9 that allows people to enter and exit the space 5 (Fig. 2) is installed on the front peripheral wall 4c of the structure 4 shown in Fig. 1, and an openable and closable window 10 is also installed. In this embodiment, the structure 4 is not a self-propelled structure, but a structure that can be transported and moved by transportation means or the like.

[0018] In this example, the structure 4 is a transport container. The transport container employs a rigid frame structure conforming to the Building Standards Act, improving the flexibility of openings such as windows 10, doors 9, control panels 11 (Fig. 2), and battery boxes 12 (Fig. 3). The "transport container" in this specification preferably refers to a container with standard dimensions for transporting cargo, such as a container with dimensions that conform to a domestic standard for transporting containers. The "standard" here may be, for example, a standard established by a domestic government agency or an international organization such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), or it may be a JR container, which is the de facto standard for containers used in rail transport of cargo in Japan.

[0019] By constructing the structure 4 from a shipping container, the structure 4 can be moved using various means of transportation such as automobiles, trains, ships, and airplanes, and can be installed using a crane 32 or the like shown in Figure 7. Because shipping containers are highly robust, they can prevent abnormalities in the internal equipment due to vibrations and shocks during transportation. Note that Figure 7 shows the structure 4 without the wind power generation device 7 (Figure 1) and the solar power generation device 8 (Figure 1).

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2 , the storage room 6 inside the structure 4 includes a machine room 6a in which a control panel 11 and a battery box 12 for the power supply mechanism 2 are installed, and a storeroom 6b adjacent to the machine room 6a via a partition 13. The storage room 6, including the machine room 6a and the storeroom 6b, faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall 4c on which the wind turbine generator 7 is supported. A partition wall 14 is also provided inside the structure 4 to separate the storage room 6 from the space 5. Electrical equipment 18, such as an air conditioner indoor unit Iu, lighting fixtures Lt, and office equipment 17 such as a printer, is housed in the space 5. An air conditioner outdoor unit 19 is installed on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 4c of the structure 4. This outdoor unit 19 also corresponds to electrical equipment 18.

[0021] The partition wall 14 has a first partition wall portion 14a that separates the machine room 6a from the space 5, and a second partition wall portion 14b that is connected to the first partition wall portion 14a and separates the warehouse 6b from the space 5. The second partition wall portion 14b also serves as an opening / closing door for the warehouse 6b. In this example, a sliding door is used as the opening / closing door 14b, but a hinged door or folding door may also be used. When the opening / closing door is open, people can move between the warehouse 6b and the space 5. The opening / closing door is used in a closed state when working in the space 5, etc. Furthermore, the first partition wall portion 14a is configured to be thicker than the second partition wall portion 14b.

[0022] The storage battery 20 is stored in a battery box 12, which is a storage box that complies with the Fire Service Act, and is isolated from the space 5. The battery box 12 is formed in a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape and made of steel plate with a thickness of 2.3 mm or more, for example, and a distance of 0.1 m or more is ensured between the storage battery 20 and the inner surface of the battery box 12. Furthermore, the battery box 12 ensures a ventilation volume required according to the capacity of the storage battery 20. One side of the roughly rectangular parallelepiped battery box 12, shown in FIG. 3, is flush with the outer surface of the rear peripheral wall 4c and is installed so as to face outward. A ventilation opening 12a is formed in the one side of the battery box 12. This ventilation opening 12a ventilates the inside and outside of the battery box 12, allowing gas that may be generated from the storage battery 20 (FIG. 2) to escape to the outside air.

[0023] An opening 40 is provided in the rear peripheral wall 4c above the battery box 12, and a control panel 11 is fitted and fixed in this opening 40. The control panel 11 has an opening door 11a facing the outside that can be opened and closed freely, and various control settings and inspections can be performed with the opening door 11a open. The control panel 11 is also arranged so that when the opening door 11a is closed, the outer surface of the opening door 11a is flush with the outer surface of the rear peripheral wall 4c. Warehouse 6b in FIG. 2 stores, for example, disaster preparedness supplies, office documents, and supplies.

[0024] <Wind power generation equipment> As shown in FIG. 4, the wind turbine generator 7 includes a wind turbine 14 and a generator 15 that generates electricity when driven by the wind turbine 14. The wind turbine 14 is configured as a vertical axis wind turbine. Specifically, the wind turbine 14 has multiple (two in this example) blades 14a and blade supports 14b that support the blades 14a. Each blade 14a extends vertically, and the blade supports 14b are supported at the upper end of a support 16 via a bearing (not shown) so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The two blades 14a are provided at positions that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other around the axis of the support 16. The support 16 is fixed to the upper center of one of the peripheral walls 4c of the structure 4.

[0025] The structure 4 is provided with a linear guide device 71 and an elevating device 75 (Fig. 5). The linear guide device 71 guides the wind power generation device 7 so that it can move up and down between an upper position (position shown in Fig. 9) and a lower position (position shown in Fig. 8) where the wind power generation device 7 is used. The linear guide device 71 is formed, for example, by a rolling-type linear guide or the like, and is provided on the peripheral wall 4c at one end of the structure 4. The linear guide device 71 has a fixed rail 72 attached to the peripheral wall 4c in the vertical direction, and a plurality of upper and lower movable members 73 shown in Fig. 5 that are attached to the fixed rail 72 so as to be able to move linearly in the vertical direction. The plurality of movable members 73 are attached at predetermined intervals to the lower part of the support pillars 16 of the wind turbine generator 7.

[0026] The lifting device 75 (Fig. 5) that raises and lowers the wind power generation device 7 uses a lifting hoist that can raise and lower the wind power generation device 7 by winding up a winding member 76 that is connected to the top of the structure 4 and the bottom of the support 16. When transporting and installing the mobile structure, the wind power generation device 7 is fixed in the lower position (Fig. 8), and when the mobile structure is installed and the wind power generation device 7 is deployed so that it can be used, the wind power generation device 7 is fixed in the upper position (Fig. 9).

[0027] A winch, for example, is used as the lifting hoist. The winding member 76 shown in Fig. 5 is, for example, a rope, belt, or chain, and hooks 77, 78 are provided on the upper and lower ends of the winding member 76. The upper hook 77 engages with a receiving bracket 79 attached to the upper part of the peripheral wall 4c (Fig. 4) of the structure 4 (Fig. 4), and the lower hook 78 engages with a receiving bracket 80 attached to the lower end of the support 16.

[0028] The lifting device 75 is of a manual type in which a drum around which the wrapping member 76 is wound is rotated by a handle or the like (not shown). However, the lifting device 75 may also be of an electric type in which the drum is rotated by an electric motor 81, as shown in FIG.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, when the wind turbine generator 7 is deployed from the lower position (FIG. 8) to the upper position (FIG. 9), a winding member 76 that connects a hook 77 that engages with the upper part of the structure 4 (FIG. 4) and a hook 78 that engages with the lower part of the support pole 16 of the wind turbine generator 7 is wound up by the lifting device 75. This makes it possible to easily lift the impeller and other components of the wind turbine generator 7 onto the structure 4. When the lifting device 75 equipped with the electric motor 81 shown in FIG. 6 is used, the wind turbine generator 7 can be raised and lowered simply by operating a switch. In this case, it is advisable to attach limit switches or the like (not shown) to the support pole 16 and the structure 4, and add a function to automatically stop the electric lifting device 75 after the wind turbine generator 7 has risen or fallen.

[0030] The lifting device 75, together with the linear guide device 71, may also serve as a pillar fixing means for fixing the pillar 16 to the structure 4, but if necessary, a dedicated pillar fixing means may be provided for fixing the wind power generation device 7 to the structure 4 in a lifted state. 6 shows an example in which a bolt is used as the support fixing means 85 to fix the support 16 of the wind power generation device 7 to the structure 4. In this example, a fixing bracket 86 fixed to the support 6 is fixed to a fixing bracket 87 on the container side that is integrated with the structure 4 with a bolt 88.

[0031] <Solar power generation equipment> As shown in Fig. 10, the solar power generation device 8 has a solar panel 8a that receives sunlight and converts photoelectrically, and a panel mount 8b shown in Fig. 1 that mounts the solar panel 8a to the structure 4. In this example, the solar panel 8a is mounted on the top wall 4a of the structure 4 via the panel mount 8b. As shown in Fig. 11A, the panel mount 8b supports the solar panel 8a on the outer surface of the top wall 4a, and as shown in Fig. 11B, mainly includes a base member 21, a rail member 22, and a clamping bracket 23.

[0032] The base member 21 is a member welded to the beams 4aa of the top wall 4a and is made of, for example, a rectangular metal body. A plurality of base members 21 are fixed to the top wall 4a at predetermined intervals. The rail members 22 are detachably fixed to the upper surface of the base members 21 with bolts 24 or the like and extend along one side of the structure 4 in the width direction. A plurality of rail members 22 shown in FIG. 11A are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the structure 4, and these rail members 22 are arranged in parallel.

[0033] 11B, each rail member 22 has a support plate portion 22a, an upright plate portion 22b, and a panel support plate portion 22c, which are integrally formed from a thin steel plate or the like. The term "integrally formed" means that the support plate portion 22a, the upright plate portion 22b, and the panel support plate portion 22c are not formed by combining multiple elements, but are formed as part or the whole of a single object from a single material by, for example, machining. The support plate portion 22a is supported on the upper surface of the base member 21 and is provided parallel to the top wall 4a. The standing plate portion 22b stands upright from one side edge of the support plate portion 22a. The panel support plate portion 22c is provided from the upper edge of the standing plate portion 22b in the opposite direction to the support plate portion 22a and parallel to the top wall 4a. The solar panel 8a is supported on the upper surface of this panel support plate portion 22c.

[0034] The pressing fittings 23 are fittings that secure the supported solar panel 8a to the upper surface of the panel support plate 22c, and multiple pressing fittings are provided for each solar panel 8a. Each pressing fitting 23 has a pressing fitting main body 23a, a side plate 23b, and a pressing plate 23c. The pressing fitting main body 23a is detachably supported on the panel support plate 22c by bolts 25 or the like. The side plate 23b is connected to a part of the pressing fitting main body 23a and fits along the side of the solar panel 8a.

[0035] The pressing plate portion 23c presses down on both edge portions of the top surface of the solar panel 8a. The pressing plate portion 23c protrudes a predetermined length from the upper edge of the side plate portion 23b in the opposite direction to the pressing bracket main body portion 23a and is disposed parallel to the top surface of the solar panel 8a. The pressing plate portion 23c and the side plate portion 23b form a generally L-shaped cross section. Therefore, by fastening the pressing bracket main body portion 23a to the panel support plate portion 22c with bolts 25 or the like, the pressing plate portion 23c can firmly press down on both edge portions of the top surface of the solar panel 8a with the side plate portion 23b aligned along the side of the solar panel 8a. The solar panel 8a can be removed from the panel stand 8b by removing the bolts 25 from the panel support plate portion 22c.

[0036] <Power supply mechanism, etc.> As shown in Fig. 2, the power supply mechanism 2 includes a control panel 11 and a storage battery 20. The control panel 11 controls the input of power generated by the power generation devices 7 and 8 (Fig. 1) to the storage battery 20 and the supply of the power input to the storage battery 20 to the electrical equipment 18. The control panel 11 is composed of a computer, a program executed by the computer, various electronic circuits, etc. The control panel 11 includes, for example, an AC / DC converter that converts the AC power generated by the power generation devices 7 and 8 (Fig. 1) into a DC voltage that can be stored in the storage battery 20, and an inverter that converts the power stored in the storage battery 20 into a sine wave AC similar to commercial AC power or into a square wave AC.

[0037] The control panel 11 is configured to be able to supply power to electrical equipment provided outside the structure 4. Specifically, a receptacle 26 is provided on the peripheral wall 4c of the structure shown in FIG. 4, and this receptacle 26 is electrically connected to the control panel 11 (FIG. 3). Therefore, the electrical equipment can be used by connecting the electrical cable of the external electrical equipment to the receptacle 26. The mobile structure 1 is also provided with a power supply connection part that receives power from a system power supply, a fuel-powered generator, or a battery mounted on an electric vehicle (Electric Vehicle: abbreviated as EV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or the like. A charging plug 27, which is a power supply connection part, is provided on the peripheral wall 4c, and this charging plug 27 is electrically connected to the control panel 11 (FIG. 3). In this case, for example, the wind power generation system 7 or the solar power generation system 8 can be used as the main power source, and when a temporary shortage of power generation occurs, this can be supplemented by an external power source such as a grid power source, or the grid power source can be used as the main power source, and the wind power generation system 7 or the solar power generation system 8 can be used as a backup power source in the event of a power outage.

[0038] <Action and effect> According to the mobile structure 1 described above, the structure 4 is movable, allowing for easy transportation of the structure 4 equipped with the wind power generator 7, the solar power generator 8 ( FIG. 1 ), and the power supply mechanism 2 ( FIG. 2 ). Because power generated by the wind power generator 7 or the solar power generator 8 is supplied to the electrical equipment 18 ( FIG. 2 ) installed in the structure 4, the mobile structure 1 can be used in places where a grid power supply is unavailable or in non-electrified areas. The storage chamber 6 housing the power supply mechanism 2 in FIG. 2 faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall 4c on which the wind power generator 7 is supported. Additionally, a partition wall 14 is provided inside the structure 4 to separate the storage chamber 6 from the space 5. Therefore, even if noise, including cogging noise from the generator 15 ( FIG. 4 ) of the wind power generator 7, propagates into the interior space 5, the noise can be attenuated by the storage chamber 6 and the partition wall 14. This allows for noise suppression in the desired space 5 installed inside the structure 4.

[0039] The storage chamber 6, which houses the power supply mechanism 2 including the control panel 11 and the storage battery 20, faces the inner surface of the peripheral wall 4c on which the wind turbine generator 7 is supported. This allows the wind turbine generator 7, control panel 11, and storage battery 20 to be placed close to each other, thereby shortening the length of the wiring that electrically connects them, thereby reducing costs. The mobile structure 1 is equipped with a wind power generation device 7 and a solar power generation device 8 (Figure 1), so that both wind power generation and solar power generation can be performed, or if the power generated by one of the power generation devices is insufficient, the power generated by the other power generation device can be used to supplement it. 11B, the base member 21 of the panel mount 8b is welded to the beam 4aa of the structure 4, so that the solar power generation device 8 can be firmly fixed to the structure 4. Therefore, the solar power generation device 8 has sufficient strength and will not undesirably detach from the structure 4 even during a typhoon or the like.

[0040] As shown in Figure 8, by keeping the wind power generation device 7 in a lower position using the linear guide device 71 and the lifting device 75, the mobile structure 1 can be easily transported by vehicle (Figure 7) at a height below the limit set by the Road Traffic Act. As shown in Figure 3, one side of the battery box 12 and the door 11a of the control panel 11 are flush with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 4c and face outward, respectively. This allows the mobile structure 1 to be easily transported by vehicle (Figure 7) within the width limit imposed by the Road Traffic Act. Since the second partition wall portion 14b, which is part of the partition wall 14 shown in FIG. 2, also serves as the door for opening and closing the warehouse 6b, the number of parts can be reduced and the structure of the mobile structure 1 can be simplified.

[0041] <Other embodiments> In the following description, parts corresponding to matters previously described in each embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted. When only a part of the configuration is described, the other parts of the configuration are the same as the previously described embodiment unless otherwise specified. The same configuration produces the same effects. It is possible to combine not only the parts specifically described in each embodiment, but also partially combine embodiments as long as there is no particular problem with the combination.

[0042] [Second embodiment] As shown in Fig. 12, a solar photovoltaic power generation device 8A may be further added to the peripheral wall 4c of the structural body 4. In this example, the additional solar photovoltaic power generation device 8A is provided only on the rear-side peripheral wall 4c. The outer surface of the peripheral wall 4c has an outer peripheral edge portion 4ca (see Fig. 3) and a recessed portion 4cb that is recessed toward the inside of the structural body (in other words, offset from the outer peripheral edge portion 4ca). The solar photovoltaic power generation device 8A is supported by this recessed portion 4cb.

[0043] The solar power generation device 8A is supported via a rotation support member 28 provided at the upper end of the peripheral wall 4c. A hinge or the like is used as the rotation support member 28. Specifically, a panel mount 8b of the solar power generation device 8A is supported at the upper end of the peripheral wall 4c via the rotation support member 28 such as a hinge. The solar power generation device 8A is configured to be able to open and close freely around the rotation axis of the rotation support member 28 between a closed position P1 in which the solar power generation device 8A is aligned with the recessed portion 4cb, and an open position P2 in which the lower end of the solar power generation device 8A is separated from the recessed portion 4cb.

[0044] A gas spring 29 is provided between the panel mount 8b and the upper end of the peripheral wall 4c. The reaction force of high-pressure gas or the like sealed in the cylinder body of this gas spring 29 can be used to assist the opening and closing operation of the solar power generation device 8A. The gas spring 29 can also hold the solar power generation device 8A in the open position P2. A stopper 30, which is a locking mechanism that holds the solar power generation device 8A in the closed position P1, is provided between the panel mount 8b and the lower end of the peripheral wall 4c. When the solar power generation device 8A is held in the closed position P1, the operator can release the stopper 30, and the solar power generation device 8A can be easily bounced up by the gas spring 29.

[0045] This mobile structure 1A can generate more power than the previous embodiment due to the addition of a solar power generation device 8A. The solar power generation device 8A is supported in a recess 4cb that is recessed inward from the outer peripheral edge 4ca of the peripheral wall 4c, which reduces the overall width of the mobile structure. Therefore, the mobile structure 1A can be easily transported by vehicle (FIG. 7) within the width limit set by the Road Traffic Act. If the amount of power generation is insufficient due to the region or purpose, adding a solar power generation device 8A to the peripheral wall 4c can resolve the shortage. The additional solar power generation device 8A may be provided on the peripheral wall on the front side, or on both the peripheral walls on the front side and the rear side. Alternatively, the additional solar power generation device 8A may be provided on the peripheral wall on one side or both side sides.

[0046] [Third embodiment] As shown in Fig. 13, a mobile structure 1B may be provided with only a wind power generation device 7 as a natural energy power generation device. In this case, the structure is simplified and costs can be reduced since the solar power generation device is omitted.

[0047] The mobile structure may be provided with a battery monitor that displays the remaining charge of the storage battery or the amount of use of electrical equipment, etc. In this case, users of the mobile structure can check the remaining charge of the storage battery displayed on the battery monitor and take measures such as saving power to electrical equipment as necessary, thereby responding to the fluctuating amount of power generated by natural energy. Instead of a shipping container, the structure may be a simple, portable building.

[0048] The solar panels may be deployed around the periphery of the structure 4. When the solar panels are deployed around the periphery of the structure 4, or in any of the above-described embodiments, the panel mount may include a mechanism that allows the solar panels to be tilted to match the direction of the sun.
