Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a windmill rotor of the kind comprising a) a hub with an axially protruding hub nose, b) a number of wings extending substantially radially from and being rotatably supported on said hub about axes in general extending radially, ⁇ ) a nose stay extending from the outermost part of the root of each wing to a part of the hub nose axially spaced from the hub, d) a number of intermediate stays connecting the outer ⁇ most parts of the roots of the wings with each other, and e) means for adjusting the angle of the wings relative to the wind direction by turning the wings about said axes.
  • variable-pitch wings In windmill rotors of this kind, it is difficult to sup ⁇ port the variable-pitch wings on the rotor in a stable manner without using heavy and expensive bearing means. In many cases the wing roots are also required to exhi ⁇ bit a very great mechanical strength, which - of course - also increases weight and costs.
  • a first embodiment of the windmill rotor according to the present invention is characterized in that at or near its central part each intermediate stay is connect ⁇ ed to the hub through an arm extending substantially ra ⁇ dially and rigidly connected to the hub. With this ar ⁇ rangement, the bearing shaft mentioned above is relieved of tangential forces and couples caused by wind and gra ⁇ vity.
  • a second embodiment of the windmill rotor according to the present invention is characterized in that the pitch bearings are placed in such a manner relative to each wing, that the wing turning axis (the axis of the shaft) is situated between the forward edge of the wing and the aerodynamic centre line of the wing. With this arrange ⁇ ment, a strong wind load will attempt to move the wings into a pitch position, in which the wind load is reduced, provided - of course - that the adjustment mechanism for the wings is adapted to accommodate such movements.
  • the present invention also relates to a windmill with a windmill rotor of the kind referred to initially, and according to the present invention this windmill is cha ⁇ racterized in that the windmill rotor exhibits at least the features set forth in the paragraph marked f) above.
  • Figure 1 in perspective shows a windmill with a windmill rotor according to the present ' invention
  • Figure 2 is a partial view showing, partly in section, the hub of the windmill rotor, the innermost portion of a wing as well as the means connect- ing the wing to the hub,
  • Figure 3 is a partial section along the line III-III in
  • Fig. 2 shows the control means for the wing in question
  • Figure 4 shows roughly the same as Fig. 3, but as viewed from the front along the axis of the windmill rotor.
  • the windmill or wind power generator shown in Fig. 1 in a known manner comprises a tower 1, on which a gear box 2 is supported rotatably about a vertical axis and adapt- ed to be adjusted in azimuth by means of control rotors 3, the latter in a known manner keeping the main windmill rotor 4 facing towards the wind, the direction of which is indicated by the arrow 5.
  • Each of the wings 6 of the main windmill rotor 4 is ro- tatably supported on a common hub 7 by means of a bearing shaft 8, the radially innermost end of which, as shown in Fig. 4, is secured to the hub 7.
  • the hub 7 consists of a hub sleeve 9 keyed onto a stub shaft 10 protruding from the gear box 2, a triangular hub plate 11 situated in a radial plane and secured by welding around the hub sleeve 9, as well as three wing base plates 12 secured by wel ⁇ ding to the outer edges of the hub plate 11.
  • each wing 6 is rotatably supported about the bearing shaft 8 by means of outer and inner pitch bearings 15 and 16 re- spectively.
  • the inner part of the wing root 14 is surrounded by an inner wing root fit ⁇ ting 17, connected partly to the rotatable part of the inner pitch bearing 15, partly through a rod mechanism 18 to a pitch adjustment cylinder 19, the latter in a si ⁇ milar manner (not shown) also being connected to the re- maining wings 6 and adapted to adjust their angle of attach in relation to the wind.
  • the pitch cylinder 19 is situated in a hub nose 20, in the example shown consisting of a three-legged "tower" of T-profile steel, the broadest end of which is welded to the hub plate 11.
  • a nose stay 21 is secured to the forward end of the hub nose 20, said nose stay 21 extending radially outwards and rearwards to the outermost end of each bearing shaf 8, to which the nose stay is secured immediately radially within the outer pitch bearing 16.
  • the outermost ends of the bearing shafts 8 are intercon ⁇ nected by means of intermediate stays 22, each at or close to the center thereof being secured to the radially outer- most end of a radial arm 23, the radially innermost end of which is secured to the' end of the adjacent wing base pla ⁇ te 12 lying r.earwardmost in the direction 13 of rotation.
  • the wings 6 in Fig. 1 and 2 are shown in a position substantially parallel to the wind direction 5, whereas in Fig. 4 they are shown in a position generally at right angles to this wind direc ⁇ tion. During normal operation, the wings will, of course, be in some angular position between these two extremes.
  • the other force in the couple mentioned is constituted by a forwardly directed force from the inner wing root fitting 17, transmitted to the wing base plate 12 and hence to the hub 7 through the in- ner pitch bearing 15 and the innermost part of the bea ⁇ ring shaft 8.
  • the bearing shaft 8 will only be subjected to bending stresses in its outer ⁇ most and innermost ends, for which reason it may be rela ⁇ tively slim, although it must be able to withstand the "column loading" caused by the radially inwardly directed components of the tensional forces in the nose stay 21 and the two adjacent intermediate stays 22, and further, the shear forces at the two ends.
  • the inner wing root fitting 17 serves to connect the in ⁇ nermost end of the wing root 14 to the inner pitch bea ⁇ ring 15, and an outer wing root fitting 24 serves in a corresponding manner to connect the outermost end of the wing root 14 to the outer pitch bearing 16.
  • the wings are made of wood, such as laminat ⁇ ed wood with thick or thin laminae, but when using metal wings the wing root fittings 17 and 24 may in certain ca ⁇ ses be omitted, provided that the metal has the requisite strength.
  • Both the nose stays 21 and the intermediate stays 22 may be adjustable in length in a manner not shown.

Abstract

La caractéristique nouvelle d'un rotor de moulin à vent avec des ailes (6) à pas ajustable, un étai (21) de nez pour chaque aile et des étais intermédiaires (22) entre les ailes, est le fait que les étais (21) de nez et les étais intermédiaires (22) sont fixés à l'extrémité extérieure d'un arbre de support (8) généralement radial dont l'extrémité intérieure est fixée au moyeu (7). Les ailes (6) sont soutenues à la partie antérieure de la jonction (14) de l'aile (vue dans le sens de rotation) sur un support intérieur (15) et extérieur (16) de rotation de l'aile ou du pas, respectivement, placés aux extrémités intérieure et extérieure de l'arbre de support (8). Cet agencement permet d'obtenir un support stable des ailes (6) même avec des arbres de support (8) relativement faibles. Dans un mode de réalisation, les étais intermédiaires (22) sont connectés à des bras radiaux rigides (23) sur le moyeu (7). Cet agencement soulage l'arbre de support (8) des forces tangentielles dues au vent et à la gravité. L'invention porte également sur un moulin à vent avec ce rotor.
