Description

Power generation equipment

This case relates to a power generation device, and more particularly to a power generation device that optimizes the wind and water forces it is subjected to.

The wind/hydroelectric generator known to the creator uses external forces such as wind or water to drive the relative rotation between the rotor and the stator to generate induced current. It is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Although obtaining current is the function and purpose of the generator and generally the greater the external force such as wind or water, the relatively large amount of electrical energy can be obtained. However, obtaining a larger external force such as wind or water is not necessarily the best choice. In order to obtain a larger current, the wind/hydroelectric generator is subjected to excessive external forces such as wind or water, which may destroy the generator or cause damage to the coil. Therefore, how to propose a generator that can control the external force is an important issue.

In view of the above-mentioned topic, the power generation device provided in this case includes a cabin and a tower power generation module. The cabin has a tower, a plurality of cabin doors and a storage space defined by the tower and the cabin doors, and the cabin doors are vertically arranged on the tower.

In some embodiments, the power generation device further includes an outer fan blade, which is connected to the tower power generation module via a connecting bracket, and the outer fan blade is disposed outside the accommodating space.

In some embodiments, the tower power generation module further includes an inner fan blade, which is connected to the rotor and is disposed in the accommodating space.

In some embodiments, the tower power generation module further includes an outer fan blade, an inner fan blade, a first wind wheel and a second wind wheel, the outer fan blade is connected to the first wind wheel by a connecting bracket and is arranged outside the accommodating space, and the inner fan blade is connected to the second wind wheel and is arranged inside the accommodating space.

In some embodiments, the first wind wheel is connected to the first rotor but not connected to the second rotor, and the second wind wheel is connected to the second rotor but not connected to the first rotor.

In some embodiments, the tower power generation module further includes a magnetic levitation mechanism disposed on the tower, and the magnetic levitation mechanism includes a plurality of magnetic elements arranged at intervals.

In summary, the power generation device provided in this case is installed in a tower-type power generation module in a cabin, and inner blades and outer blades are respectively installed inside and outside the accommodation space. All or part of the cabin door can be opened according to the strength of external forces such as wind or water force or other situations and needs to enable the tower-type power generation module to obtain optimized fluid dynamics.

FIG3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a power generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG4 is a front view of the power generation device in FIG3. Please refer to FIG2, FIG3 and FIG4 together. In some embodiments, a tower power generation module 2 is disposed in the accommodation space S and has a plurality of rotors (i.e., a first rotor 21[1], a second rotor 21[2], and a third rotor 21[3]) and a plurality of stators 22 arranged in layers for generating electrical energy. The tower power generation module 2 mainly utilizes a magnetic disk as a rotor for generating a magnetic field and a wire drum as a stator to perform parallel relative rotation to cut magnetic lines of force and generate induced electromotive force and induced current, thereby completing power generation. Compared with traditional generators, the tower generator module 2 is more conducive to the three-phase power circuit system, and thus is conducive to meeting the industrial demand for high-power current. In addition, the layered arrangement of the rotor and stator can alleviate the problem of uneven temperature on both sides of the coil group derived from the charge collection effect of traditional generators, thereby extending the life of the coil group.

It is worth mentioning that the invention proposes a variety of means for rotating the rotor 21, which can be used not only individually but also simultaneously. FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional diagram of a wind wheel in an embodiment of the invention. Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together. In some embodiments, the rotation of the rotor 21 is achieved by a plurality of wind wheels 23[1], 23[2]. The tower power generation module 2 includes a plurality of wind wheels 23[1], 23[2]. However, the invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the tower power generation module 2 only includes the wind wheel 23[1] but not the wind wheel 23[2]. In some embodiments, the tower power generation module 2 only includes the wind wheel 23[2] but not the wind wheel 23[1]. In this embodiment, the wind wheel 23[1] is connected to two first rotors 21[1], and the wind wheel 23[2] is connected to two second rotors 21[2]. In particular, the first rotor 21[1] and the second rotor 21[2] can be fixed or non-fixed. When the first rotor 21[1] and the second rotor 21[2] are not fixed, the first rotor 21[1] and the second rotor 21[2] are driven and pulled by magnetic attraction. When the first rotor 21[1] rotates before the second rotor 21[2], the first rotor 21[1] will drive the second rotor 21[2] to rotate; when the second rotor 21[2] rotates before the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] will drive the first rotor 21[1] to rotate.

In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned method of using the wind wheel 23[1] to drive the first rotor 21[1] to rotate or the wind wheel 23[2] to drive the second rotor 21[2] to rotate, in some embodiments of the present invention, the rotor 21[1] is driven to rotate by the outer fan blade F1. In this embodiment, the power generation device 100 further includes an outer fan blade F1, which is connected to the tower power generation module 2 by a connecting bracket B, and the outer fan blade F1 is arranged outside the accommodation space S. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the outer fan blade F1 is connected to the first rotor 21[1] of the tower power generation module 2 by a plurality of connecting brackets B. When the wind blows on the outer fan blade F1 and causes the outer fan blade F1 to rotate, the outer fan blade F1 drives the first rotor 21[1] of the tower power generation module 2 to rotate by connecting brackets B. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the outer fan blade F1 is connected to the wind wheel 23[1] by connecting brackets B, and the wind wheel 23[1] is connected to the first rotor 21[1]. When the wind blows on the outer fan blade F1 and causes the outer fan blade F1 to rotate, the outer fan blade F1 drives the wind wheel 23[1] of the tower power generation module 2 to rotate by connecting brackets B, and the wind wheel 23[1] further drives the first rotor 21[1] to rotate.

In addition, in addition to the method for rotating the first rotor 21[1] and/or the second rotor 21[2] in the previous section related to the wind wheels 23[1], 23[2] and the outer blades F1, the present invention further proposes a method for rotating the first rotor 21[1] and the second rotor 21[2] by means of the inner blades F2. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the tower power generation module 2 further includes an inner blade F2, the inner blade F2 is connected to the third rotor 21[3] of the rotor, and the inner blade F2 is disposed in the accommodation space S. When the wind blows the inner blade F2 and causes the inner blade F2 to rotate, the inner blade F2 drives the third rotor 21[3] of the tower power generation module 2 to rotate. In particular, in the present embodiment, the first wind wheel 23[1] is connected to the first rotor 21[1] but not to the second rotor 21[2], and the second wind wheel 23[2] is connected to the second rotor 21[2] but not to the first rotor 21[1]. Therefore, when the wind blows on the first wind wheel 23[1] and causes the first wind wheel 23[1] to rotate, the first wind wheel 23[1] will directly drive the first rotor 21[1] to rotate but will not directly drive the second rotor 21[2] to rotate; when the wind blows on the second wind wheel 23[2] and causes the second wind wheel 23[2] to rotate, the second wind wheel 23[2] will directly drive the second rotor 21[2] to rotate but will not directly drive the first rotor 21[1] to rotate. However, because both the first rotor 21[1] and the second rotor 21[2] are magnetic, in some embodiments, when the first rotor 21[1] rotates, the second rotor 21[2] is driven to rotate by the magnetic attraction force, and in some embodiments, when the second rotor 21[2] rotates, the first rotor 21[1] is driven to rotate by the magnetic attraction force.

In addition, it should be noted that the means for rotating the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] and/or the third rotor 21[3] in relation to the wind wheel 23, the outer blades F1 and the inner blades F2 mentioned in the previous paragraphs can be used alone or together. For example, in order to rotate the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] and/or the third rotor 21[3], the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] or the third rotor 21[3] can be connected to one or both of the wind wheel 23, the outer blades F1 and the inner blades F2 at the same time. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the tower power generation module 2, in addition to having a plurality of rotors 21 and a plurality of stators 22 arranged in layers for generating electrical energy, further includes an outer fan blade F1, an inner fan blade F2, a first wind wheel 23[1] and a second wind wheel 23[2], and the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] or the third rotor 21[3] is connected to the wind wheel 23, the outer fan blade F1 and the inner fan blade F2.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, the outer blades F1 and the inner blades F2 have similar structures and functions. Both the outer blades F1 and the inner blades F2 have a structural form that receives wind power and drives the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] or the third rotor 21[3] in the tower power generation module 2. However, it is worth mentioning that the differences between the outer blades F1 and the inner blades F2 include but are not limited to the outer blades F1 being disposed outside the accommodation space S and the inner blades F2 being disposed inside the accommodation space S. Since the inner blades F2 are disposed inside the accommodation space S, when the wind is too strong, the various components in the tower power generation module 2 can be protected by closing the multiple cabin doors of the cabin 1, or excessive induced current can be prevented from causing damage to the power generation device 100. At the same time, in some embodiments, the cabin doors 12 have a rotating shaft, and the rotation axis of the cabin doors 12 is parallel to the rotation axis of the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] and the third rotor 21[3]. In addition, the cabin doors 12 have a flow guide structure, and the user can open all or part of the cabin doors 12 according to the situation and needs to introduce fluid power to the inner blades F2 and the wind wheel 23 of the tower power generation module 2, thereby driving the second rotor 21[2] and the third rotor 21[3] to rotate.

Please refer to FIG. 4 again. As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the power generation device 100 further includes a magnetic levitation mechanism N, which is disposed on the tower 11. The magnetic levitation mechanism N includes a plurality of magnetic elements Nf arranged at intervals. On the other hand, the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] and the third rotor 21[3] have a plurality of magnetic elements NR arranged at intervals. The magnetic elements in the magnetic levitation mechanism N are used to provide repulsive force to the magnetic element NR of at least one of the first rotor 21[1], the second rotor 21[2] and the third rotor 21[3], thereby reducing the friction between the rotor and the stator, thereby facilitating the start-up of the rotor and increasing the maximum speed of the rotor.

In summary, in one embodiment of the present case, a tower power generation module installed in a cabin is provided with inner blades and outer blades inside and outside the accommodation space respectively, and all or part of the cabin door can be opened according to the strength of external forces such as wind or water force or other situations and needs so that the tower power generation module can obtain optimized fluid dynamics.
