  • a fluid energy conversion apparatus 10 for extracting energy from a flowing fluid.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a plurality of pivotably mounted vanes 12 arranged for movement around an endless pathway having a primary transfer portion 16, a secondary transfer portion 18 and transition portions 20a,20b therebetween.
  • the apparatus 10 is configured so that in use vanes 12 disposed on the primary transfer portion 16 are generally upstream in the fluid flow of vanes 12 disposed on the secondary transfer portion 18 and the fluid flows sequentially past vanes on the primary transfer portion 16 and secondary transfer portion 18 respectively.
  • the apparatus 10 includes a releasable brake 50 which is operable in respect of each vane 12. Each releasable brake 50 is configured to fix the orientation of a respective vane 12 when engaged. As illustrated in Figure 3, the apparatus 10 also includes a vane adjustment means 38 which is configured to release the brake 50 and vary the orientation of a vane 12 when the vane 12 is in one of the transition portions to control the exposure of each vane 12 to fluid incident upon that vane 12. A determined orientation to the fluid flow of each vane 12 is fixed whilst in the primary transfer 16 and the secondary transfer portion 18.
  • the vanes 12 extend between a pair of endless drive means, each of which in this example includes a pair of steel cables 14.
  • a pair of cables 14 is used to improve stability and rigidity of the endless drive means.
  • the endless drive means may comprise cables made of other materials or a single cable, a belt, chain or other suitable flexible element.
  • Vanes 12 are pivotably connected at either end to the cables 14 and are arranged to rotate about their centre of mass.
  • the cables 14 pass around a pair of spaced apart pulleys 24 and are capable of reversal in their direction of travel.
  • Cables are used as they can easily be made to an appropriate length and readily sourced. If a cable is chosen correctly, it will not stretch appreciably during use.
  • the function of the cables 14 is to carry the weight of the vanes 12 or aerofoil structure and also the load associated with the wind.
  • the pulleys 24 are free-wheeling and power is transmitted from the vanes 12 through cables 14 and directly through a drive disc 26.
  • One advantage of using cables in this manner is that it enables the cable to not be necessarily in significant tension which reduces the loading on the bearings and consequential losses of the apparatus.
  • the flow of a fluid through the apparatus 10 can also be seen in Figure 1.
  • the fluid is air moving under the influence of wind, the direction of which is labelled as A.
  • the vanes 12 travelling in the primary transfer portion 16 travel in direction B which is opposite to direction C, the direction which vanes 12 travel in the secondary transfer portion 18.
  • each vane 12 always faces toward the wind when the vane is in the primary or secondary transfer portion.
  • the angle of vanes relative to the cables 14 when the vanes are in the primary transfer portion is different than the angle of the vanes in the secondary transfer portion as the direction of wind travelling through the apparatus 10 changes as the wind passes over vanes in the primary transfer portion.
  • the wind path 36 through the apparatus 10 is thus generally 'S' shaped. Accordingly, to maximise energy transfer from the wind to vanes in the secondary transfer portion 18, the orientation of vanes 12 in the secondary transfer portion 18 needs to be varied.
  • vanes 12 Any convenient number of vanes 12 may be employed in the apparatus 10, the number preferably being consistent with good mechanical design practice taking into consideration issues of mechanical balance of rotating components and achieving the required vane area to optimise energy transfer from the flowing fluid.
  • the apparatus 10 includes a drive disc 26 disposed adjacent and coaxial with each respective pulley 24.
  • the drive discs 26 are configured to engage the vanes 12 (shown in broken lines in Figure 2) as they pass through the transition portions 20a, 20b and are provided for the purpose of transferring power from the vanes 12 to an output shaft 28.
  • Each drive disc 26 includes a plurality of yokes 27 extending radially outward therefrom. In the described example, there are three equally separated yokes 27 disposed around the drive disc 26 at an angle of 120 degrees apart so that at least one yoke 27 is engaged at all times. It is this engagement of the yokes 27 and the vanes 12 that provides drive from the vanes 12.
  • the yokes 27 are configured to engage a shaft 41 of respective vanes 12 as they pass through the transfer portions 20a, 20b.
  • Resilient material surrounds the shaft 41 in a region where the yokes 27 are intended to engage the shaft 41 to absorb impact and reduce noise.
  • Only one of the pair of spaced drive discs is coupled to an output shaft 28 to drive a generator 30 to generate electricity.
  • the output shaft 28 is directly coupled to the generator 30.
  • the generator 30 may be any commercially available generator of any convenient configuration and output voltage.
  • An idler shaft 32 is disposed at an end of the apparatus which is opposite from the end where the output shaft 28 is disposed.
  • the distance between shafts 28 and 32 is fixed via a frame, which also acts .to spatially fix the location of the generator 30 relative to the idler shaft 32 and the output shaft 28.
  • the apparatus 10 illustrated in Figure 3 includes a plurality of vane adjustment means 38 to vary the angle or orientation of the vanes 12.
  • Each vane adjustment means 38 is configured to engage a release mechanism (not shown) on a respective vane. Engagement of the release mechanism releases a brake (item 50 in broken lines in Figure 2) acting on each vane 12, allowing it to be rotated to a new orientation.
  • the vane adjustment means 38 includes a parallelogram four bar linkage, the coupler link 40 of which is arranged to extend generally radially outward of the drive disc 26 to act as a push rod.
  • An end 42 of the coupler link 40 has a flat surface configured to actuate the release mechanism. Due to the configuration of the parallelogram four bar linkage mechanism, the end 42 travels through a curved path, thereby assisting in the engagement and operation of the release mechanism as it passes through the transition portions 20a, 20b.
  • the coupler link 40 is driven by a member 44 which extends from a cam disc 29.
  • the cam disc 29 is eccentrically movable relative to the drive disc 26 so as to vary the amount of travel of the vane adjustment means 38, thereby controlling the magnitude of the orientation change of the vanes 12.
  • the cam disc 29 is generally free wheeling and not coupled to the generator 30, though is acted upon and caused to rotate by a trailing arm 31 linking the drive disc 26 and the cam disc 29 so that they rotate together. Such a configuration is necessary so as to maintain a link between the drive disc 26 and the cam disc 29 to that they rotate together, though to accommodate the eccentric movement of the cam disc 29 relative to the drive disc 26.
  • the cam disc 29 is mounted about a nylon arbour bearing 46 which has a slotted inner region that fits over the drive shaft 28.
  • the arbour bearing 46 is movable along rods 48 under the action of an electronically controlled motor, which in the described example is a stepper motor 49, . to achieve eccentric movement of the cam disc 29 relative to the drive disc 26.
  • the stepper motor 49 rotates a slotted arm in which a pin moves to effect movement of the arbour bearing 46.
  • the offset will be set in the range of 0mm to 50mm. However, 'negative' values of, offset may be used under certain circumstances. Although the described example utilises a stepper motor to achieve the desired eccentric offset, it will be appreciated that other means of achieving this offset may be used.
  • cam disc 29 is movable in one dimension.
  • cam disc 29 is mounted so as to be movable in two dimensions which are generally perpendicular to each other.
  • the inventors have found that movement of the cam disc 29 in two dimensions is necessary to be able to set the blade departure angle correctly and also to allow a more accurate acceptance of the incoming blade angle without inadvertently setting a steep departure angle. By providing adjustment in two dimensions, the blade departure angle can more accurately be set.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show the cam disc 29 at opposing extremes of travel. As can be seen, the eccentric rotation of the cam disc 29 causes a reciprocal motion of the member 44 relative to the vane adjustment means 38, thereby driving the vane adjustment means 38 to vary the orientation of the vanes 12.
  • FIGs 7 and 8 illustrate an example brake 131 which is used to fix the orientation of the vanes 12.
  • the brake 131 is in the form of a releasable hydrostatic lock formed by a hydraulic cylinder acting on the vanes 12 that allows the orientation of a respective vane to be varied.
  • a shaft 41 extends from vane 12 and is rigidly mounted thereto in a coaxial manner to allow the vane 12 to rotate.
  • a release mechanism in the form of two cone drivers 56 (refer Figures 13A to 16B), is provided.
  • One cone driver is provided for engagement of vanes exiting the primary transfer portion 16 and another for vanes exiting the secondary transfer portion 18. Engagement of a respective cone driver 56 with the end 42 of the coupler link 40 initiates release the mechanism 131.
  • a hydraulic valve 133 is provided at a rear of each cone driver so that activation of a respective cone driver 56 causes the valve 133 to be opened.
  • the valve 133 is in fluid communication with a hydraulic accumulator 135 and a hydraulic cylinder 137. Operation of the valve 133 allows piston 139 of the hydraulic cylinder 137 to move, thereby releasing the vane 12 and allowing it to rotate.
  • brake 131 Due to the positive operating characteristics of a hydraulic system, brake 131 provides a hydrostatic locking system that acts to positively maintain a desired vane orientation. In the described example, air is used as a working fluid, though it will be appreciated that other fluids may similarly be used.
  • FIG 9 illustrates an alternative example brake 50 which is used to fix the orientation of the vanes 12.
  • a shaft 41 extends from vane 12 and is rigidly mounted thereto in a coaxial manner.
  • the brake 50 includes a floating brake disc 52 which is disposed between two slotted plates 54a, 54b which are fixed by bar 55 and which also engage a slot in the brake disc 52 at diametrically opposite points. This mounts the brake disc 52 in such a way that it is free to move transversely and its ultimate position when clamped by the brake 50 is determined by brake pads. This ensures clean operation and in particular release of the brake. If the disc is fixed then the pads do not contact the disc necessarily with the surfaces parallel and this result in imperfect brake operation and variability in release.
  • brake 50 includes an arm 58 which can be activated to clamp the brake disc 52.
  • the arm 58 is activated in response to movement of plunger 60.
  • the plunger 60 extends through the brake 50 and forms part of the release mechanism, which in the example shown is a cone driver 56 (refer Figures 13A to 16B).
  • the plunger is connected to 2:1 mechanical lever arrangement.
  • An actuating wire extends from that lever around the shaft 41 to another lever arrangement which moves a roller to act on the arm 58 of the disc brake 52.
  • the mechanical advantage of the second lever is around 14:1 which in combination with the lever action of the brake arm itself gives an overall mechanical advantage of the order of 30:1.
  • tension springs 51 act upon arm 58 to provide a clamping force of about 20kg.
  • the roller that engages the arm 58 that actuates the brake pad moves in an arcuate path and is adjusted such that it is operating at the end of the arc. That is, a small movement of the roller provides a high degree of travel of the arm 58. Adjustment of the position is by way of the mounting of the axis on which the actuating arm pivots. The screw extends through for adjustment of the axis position and hence the arm.
  • Leaf type springs 61 are fitted to initiate movement of the cone drivers 56 because the small movement of the roller against the arm 58 requires additional force to initiate movement as the restoring springs on the brake mechanism (which acts on the lever mounted roller) do not provide a very large force at that high degree of movement on that portion of travel.
  • a pair of cone drivers 56 one for engagement of vanes exiting the primary transfer portion 16 and another for vanes exiting the secondary transfer portion 18, is coupled to the shaft 41 and is configured to operate in connection with the brake 50.
  • Activation of each cone driver 56 is through contact with the end 42 of the coupler link 40.
  • Activation of the cone driver 56 disengages the brake 50, thereby allowing the vane 12 to be rotated so that its orientation can be varied.
  • Movement of the coupler link 40 is generally constant and during initial contact of the end 42 of the coupler link 40 with the cone driver 56, the brake 50 is disengaged. Further movement of the coupler link 40 results in the orientation of the vane 12 being varied. As the end 42 of the coupler link 40 becomes disengaged from the cone driver 56, the cone driver 56 returns to a neutral state and the brake 50 returns to an engaged condition of use which fixes the orientation of the vane 12.
  • Each cone driver 56 includes a conical element 58 that, in connection with housing 60, operates to convert the action of the end 42 of the coupler link 40 of the vane adjustment means 38 perpendicularly so as to activate a plunger 60 ( Figure 9). As illustrated in Figures 11 and 12, a pair of leaf springs 61 are provided so as to urge the release mechanism to a neutral position when not activated. Figures 13A to 13C and 14A to 14C further describe the action of each cone driver 56.
  • the cone driver 56 includes a transfer member in the form of a conical element 58 which is disposed about an anchor point, which in the described example is a sleeve 68.
  • the conical element 58 is a hollow truncated cone or frustoconical element.
  • the conical element 58 has first and second spaced apart annular bearing surfaces 125 and 127 respectively which have different diameters. Each of the bearing surfaces are configured so that a force bears against it so that the force may be converted using the conical element 58.
  • a smaller of said surfaces which in the described example is the first bearing surface 125, is configured to extend loosely around the sleeve 68 so that an input force urging the larger surface 127 toward the sleeve 68 causes the conical element 58 to rotate or tilt, thereby advancing the smaller bearing surface 125 along the sleeve 68 to provide an output force in a direction generally perpendicular to the input force.
  • the conical element 58 is disposed within a housing 62 which is in the form of a cylinder with one end closed and other open. In a resting state a lower surface of the conical element 58 rests squarely on an internal surface of the closed end of the housing 62.
  • a circular cam head 64 Disposed adjacent the open end of the housing 62 is a circular cam head 64.
  • the cam head 64 forms an upper part of plunger 60, a shaft 66 of which is restrained for linear movement within a fixed sleeve 68.
  • Fixed sleeve 68 is fixed to ground plate 63 and the housing 62 is free to move laterally with respect to the sleeve until the conical element 58 has rotated a predetermined amount and locks.
  • An open upper end of the conical element 58 is arranged to fit loosely around the sleeve 68.
  • the open upper end of the conical element 58 is disposed proximal to the open end of the housing 62.
  • the plunger 60 and the housing 62 together define an expandable chamber.
  • Sleeve 68 is truncated so that as the open upper end of the conical element 58 moves upward, it passes over the end of sleeve 68, allowing it to rotate further.
  • the open upper end may be configured so that, after a predetermined amount of rotation, it locks onto Shaft 66 to limit the amount of movement of the cam head 64.
  • the open upper end may be configured so as to allow full rotation of the conical element 58, as shown in Figure 14A.
  • a conical element 58 is used, though it will be appreciated that this element may be replaced with a rigid part having two rings fixed together with a coupling element. It will also be appreciated that two rigid forks, each of which pass around the shaft, also fixed together with a coupling element, may be alternatively be used.
  • Friction reducing coatings may be used to address these issues or ball bearings may be incorporated into the housing 61.
  • a return spring may be required to ensure that the cone driver 56 returns to a neutral position. If a constant load is applied to the plunger 60, the mechanism may return to its neutral state without the need for a return spring.
  • a return spring may be fixed to the ground plate 63 and pass around at least a portion of the circumference of the housing 61 so that movement of the housing 61 relative to the ground plate 63 encounters some resistance, thereby causing the mechanism to return to its neutral position.
  • a leaf spring fixed to the ground plate 63 may act upon the housing 61 to urge it to a neutral position.

  • a sleeve may be configured to surround more than one cable and thus would be appropriately shaped so as to engage each of those cables.
  • An advantage of using a connector such as connector 140 is that some degree of synchronisation between the cables 14 and the drive disc 26, which would otherwise not be ' possible because there is no registration or indexing possible with a cable, can be achieved. It will be noted that this synchronisation can only be achieved while a vane is received through the connector 140. This is because it is the vane shaft 41 which engages the drive disc 26. Because the connector allows some synchronisation to be provided, the manufacture of the endless drive means is simplified and the importance of each cable being of exactly the same length is reduced. It will be appreciated though that, whilst generous, a tolerance on cable length will exist and once this tolerance has been exceed difficulties may be encountered. Accordingly, a vane 12 may become transversely angled with respect to the cables 12 without causing much difficulty as the vanes are brought back into alignment when passing through the transition portions 20a, 20b.

  • the bridge 130 is a hollow tube so that the shaft 41 of the vanes 12 can pass through and become rotatably fixed to the connector 124.
