20090236854 | POWER GENERATING DEVICE CAPABLE OF OUTPUTTING AT CONSTANT ROTATION SPEED - A power generating device capable of outputting at a constant rotation speed is configured with a constant speed unit for transforming a varying input rotation speed into a constant output rotation speed, which comprises: a power source, an electric generator and a constant speed unit; wherein the constant speed unit further comprises: a first differential gear set, having two input ends and an output end being configured in a manner that one of the two input ends is connected with the power source and the output end is connected to a load; a continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism, configured with an input end and an output end in a manner that the input end is connected to the power source; a hydraulic torque converter, configured with an input end and an output end in a manner that the input end is connected to the load; a second differential gear set, configured with two input ends and an output end in a manner that the two input ends are connected respectively to the output end of the CVT mechanism and the hydraulic torque converter so as to perform a power composition process in the second differential gear set and then transmit the composite power from its output end to the other input end of the first differential gear set that is not connected to the power source. | 09-24-2009 |
20100253084 | VERTICAL-AXIS WINDPOWER FAN UNIT AND MODULE AND POWER GENERATING SYSTEM THEREOF - The present invention provides a vertical-axis windpower fan unit using a central axle having modulized design for assembling or disassembling quickly and includes supporting arms with capability of weight adjustment so as to balance the rotation of the fan unit. In one embodiment, the present invention further provides a coaxial fan module comprising a plurality of fan units coupled sequentially wherein a blade of each fan unit is disposed in the middle position with respect to the two blades of the adjacent fan unit for reducing unbalance and eliminating vibrational noise while the fan module is rotating. In addition, in another embodiment, the present invention further provides a power generating system comprising the coaxial fan module and a power generator unit coupled to the coaxial fan module so as to generate electricity. | 10-07-2010 |
20130136604 | WINDMILL AND HUB SEALING APPARATUS THEREOF - A windmill having a hub sealing apparatus for sealing an interface between a hub and a blade of the windmill, The hub sealing apparatus includes a bottom sealing ring configured to be sealed to the hub, a top sealing ring configured to be rotatably sealed to the blade, and a middle sealing ring configured to be sealed to the top sealing ring and the bottom sealing ring, so as to connect the top and bottom sealing rings. | 05-30-2013 |
20130170988 | WIND TURBINE SYSTEM - A wind turbine system includes a nacelle, a generator, a central control module, an impeller, a transmission module, a speed sensor module, a pitch angle driving module, a hub controller and a slip-ring apparatus. The hub controller receives a first pitch command from the central control module or generates a second pitch command according to a rotation speed of a hub sensed by the speed sensor module. If the first pitch command is correct, the hub controller transmits the first pitch command to the pitch angle driving module. If not, the hub controller transmits the second pitch command to the pitch angle driving module. The pitch angle driving module controls a pitch angle of at least one blade after receiving the pitch command, so that the wind turbine system works. Therefore, the wind turbine system has a distributed control function and a redundancy capability. | 07-04-2013 |
20140154048 | HUB COOLING APPARATUS ADAPTED TO WIND-POWER GENERATOR AND METHOD THEREOF - A hub cooling apparatus adapted to a wind generator has a circulating fan module installed in a nosed end of a hub and a wind guiding module installed in a main shaft of a nacelle; wherein the circulating fan module is driven by the rotating hub, the wind guiding module is driven by the rotating main shaft. | 06-05-2014 |
