Abstract
Description
例えば、特許文献1には、油圧トランスミッションを介してロータの回転エネルギーを発電機に伝達するようにした電力生産システムが記載されている。このシステムは、ナセル内に油圧モータと発電機とが設けられた構成となっている(特許文献1のFig.7参照)。
さらに、特許文献3及び4には、ナセル内に設置された油圧ポンプとタワー底部に設けられた油圧モータとを繋ぐ油圧配管(高圧油流路及び低圧油流路)の一部がナセルとともに旋回する風力発電装置が記載されている。この風力発電装置では、ナセル下部に設けた油圧スイベルによって、ナセル側の油圧配管がナセルとともに旋回するようになっている。油圧スイベルは、外側部材および内側部材からなり、両部材は互いに相対的に回転可能である。そして、内側部材に設けられた配管は、外側部材の内周面に設けられた環状流路と連通している。
また、特許文献2には、そもそも、ナセル内に設置された油圧ポンプとタワー底部に設けられた油圧モータとを繋ぐ油圧配管を具体的にどのように構成するか開示されていない。
さらに、特許文献3及び4には、ナセル側の油圧配管をナセルとともに旋回可能にするための油圧スイベルが記載されているものの、内側部材に設けられた配管と外側部材に設けられた環状流路との接続部分に関して具体的な説明がなく、油圧スイベルの詳細構造が十分に開示されていない。また、油圧モータ及び発電機がタワー底部に配置されているため、油圧配管が長くなってしまう。
また、この再生エネルギー型発電装置では、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一方が、主軸及び油圧ポンプと、ナセルの壁面のうち回転翼から遠い側の後端側壁面との間のエリアを除く空間に配置されるようにしている。これにより、油圧モータ及び発電機を、ナセル内の主軸及び油圧ポンプとナセル後端側壁面との間に配置する場合に比べて、ナセル長さ(主軸方向)を短くすることができ、ナセルの小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
このように、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一方がヨー駆動装置の上方で且つ油圧ポンプの側方に配置されることにより、ナセル内の空間を有効利用することができる。また、ナセルの横幅(水平面内で主軸に垂直な方向)を拡大することなく、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一方を配置することができ、ナセルのさらなる小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
このように、油圧モータ及び発電機がともにナセル内に収納されることで、作動油を循環させる配管の長さを短くできる。また、油圧モータ及び発電機が相対的に略水平に配置されるとともに、出力軸で連結される油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一部が、油圧ポンプの側方に配置されることで、ナセル内の空間を有効利用でき、ナセルのさらなる小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
このように、油圧モータ及び前記発電機は、支持体によってナセル側に支持されるとともに、出力軸によって連結される油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一部がタワー上部に配置されることで、タワー基端部にこれらを設置する場合に比べて、作動油を循環させる配管の長さを短くできる。また、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一部がタワー側に配置されるようにしたので、ナセルのさらなる小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
このように、油圧モータがナセル内に収納されることで、油圧モータを油圧ポンプの近くに配置でき、作動油が流れる配管を短くすることができる。一方、発電機の少なくとも一部はタワー側に配置されることとなるが、このとき、油圧モータ及び発電機が鉛直方向に配置されることで、タワーの径を拡張することなく油圧モータ及び発電機を容易に設置することが可能となる。
このように、油圧モータをタワー上部空間に配置することで、ナセルのさらなる小型化及び軽重量化が可能となる。このとき、油圧モータは支持体によってナセル側に支持されているので、ナセル旋回時に、油圧モータと、油圧ポンプ及び油圧モータを接続する配管とを、油圧ポンプと一体に回転させることができる。
これにより、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一方を安定してタワーに固定することが可能となる。なお、油圧モータと発電機とは出力軸で連結されているので、油圧モータ及び発電機の一方が支持体によってタワーに固定される場合、他方もタワー側に支持されることとなる。また、ナセル側に支持された油圧ポンプに接続される配管と、タワー側に支持された油圧モータに接続される配管とが、相対的に回転自在に接続されているので、ナセルがヨー旋回する場合にも配管構造を適切に保持できる。
このように、第1配管と第2配管とが回転自在に接続されていることにより、油圧ポンプから油圧モータに向かう作動油、及び、油圧モータから油圧ポンプに向かう作動油の流れを確保しつつ、ナセル側配管とタワー側配管との相対的な旋回を可能としている。
このように、第1流路及び前記第2流路の少なくとも一方にケーブルを収納することによって、ナセルが旋回した場合であっても、ケーブルが損傷することを防止できる。なお、前記ケーブルには、油圧ポンプ等のようにナセル内に配置される電気利用機器への電力供給に用いられる電力ケーブル若しくは制御に用いられる通信ケーブル、ナセル側に取り付けられる各種計測機器に接続される信号ケーブル、または、回転翼やナセルへの落雷の際に電気を逃がす避雷用ケーブル等のケーブルが適用される。
このように第1内側配管の管壁面と第2内側配管の管壁面との間をシールする内側シールを、内側流路と外側流路との間に挟まれるように配置することで、万が一、内側シールのシール機能が損なわれても、内側流路を流れる高圧油は外側流路に漏れる。よって、高圧油の外部への漏洩を防止できる。
これにより、万が一、第1外側配管の管壁面と第2外側配管の管壁面との間をシールする一対の外側シールのシール機能が損なわれても、外側流路から漏れ出た低圧油は油溜めを介してタンクに導かれる。すなわち、外側流路から漏れた低圧油は、圧力が十分に下げられてからタンクに回収される。よって、低圧油の外部への漏洩を防止できる。
また、第1二重管の重量や、内側流路及び外側流路を流れる高圧油と低圧油によって発生する油圧スラスト等のスラスト荷重、あるいはラジアル荷重を軸受によって確実に受けることができる。
このように、第1内側配管が第2内側配管に対して、さらには、第1外側配管が第2外側配管に対して相対的に長手方向に摺動自在になるように第1二重管を第2二重管に嵌合することで、第1二重管の第2二重管に対する長手方向の動きが許容され、第1二重管及び第2二重管の油温上昇等による熱伸びを吸収することができる。
このように、脈動防止アキュムレータをナセル内に設けることで、脈動防止アキュムレータと油圧ポンプとの距離が縮まり、油圧ポンプの脈動を効果的に防止できる。なお、脈動防止アキュムレータの容量は比較的小さくてもよいから、ナセル内に十分に収納できる。
このように、油圧モータ及び発電機をともにタワー内に収納することで、ナセル内に油圧モータ及び発電機を設置しないためナセルのさらなる小型化及び軽重量化が図れる。さらに、油圧モータ及び発電機をタワー内に鉛直方向に配置することで、タワーの径を拡張することなくこれらを容易に設置できる。
上記再生エネルギー型発電装置において、前記油圧モータは、前記発電機にフレキシブル継手を介して連結されることが好ましい。このように、可撓性を有するフレキシブル継手を用いて、油圧モータと発電機とを連結することにより、これらの相対位置関係の自由度が向上し、また簡単に位置調整することも可能となる。
また、油圧モータ及び発電機の少なくとも一方が、主軸及び油圧ポンプと、ナセルの壁面のうち回転翼から遠い側の後端側壁面との間のエリアを除く空間に配置されるようにしたので、油圧モータ及び発電機を、ナセル内の主軸及び油圧ポンプとナセル後端側壁面との間に配置する場合に比べて、ナセル長さを短くすることができ、ナセルの小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
第1実施形態では、再生エネルギー型発電装置の一例として風力発電装置について説明する。図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る風力発電装置の概略を示す全体構成図で、図2Aは図1に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す斜視図で、図2Bは図1に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す平面図で、図2Cは図1に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す側面図である。
そして、ナセル台板16にはナセル旋回機構19が取り付けられるとともに、ナセル台板上にはヨー駆動機構13が配設されている。このナセル旋回機構19及びヨー駆動機構13によって、ナセル台板16がタワー2の先端部2Bに対して旋回するようになっている。
ヨー駆動機構13は、例えば、ギヤ19Aの軸に直接連結されるか、またはギヤ19Aにピニオンを介して連結される減速機と、クラッチと、ヨーモータと、電磁ブレーキと、これらを収納するハウジングとで構成されていてもよい。なお、ヨー駆動機構13は、タワー2の軸線を中心とした円周上に複数設けられていてもよい。
上記構成を有する場合、クラッチが結合状態で電磁ブレーキがONにされたら、ヨーモータの駆動力が減速機を介してギヤ19Aに伝達され、ギヤ19Aが内歯車19Bと噛み合いながら回転する。これにより、ナセル4がタワー2に対してヨー方向に旋回する。
ロータ6は、ハブ6Aと、ハブ6Aから放射状に延びる複数枚の回転翼6Bとからなる。ロータ6のハブ6Aは、主軸14に連結されている。このため、風を受けてロータ6が回転すると、主軸14もハブ6Aとともに回転する。そして、主軸14の回転が油圧ポンプ8に入力されることで、油圧ポンプ8において高圧の作動油(高圧油)が生成される。
そして、油圧モータ10は、ナセル4内の油圧ポンプ8から供給される高圧油によって駆動されるようになっている。
油圧ポンプ8及び油圧モータ10の間には作動油配管30が接続され、作動油配管30を作動油が循環するようになっている。作動油配管30は、油圧ポンプ8から排出される高圧油を油圧モータ10に供給する高圧側配管31と、油圧モータ10から排出される低圧の作動油(低圧油)を油圧ポンプ8に供給する低圧側配管33とを有する。
なお、油圧モータ10と発電機12との相対的な位置関係は、図1に示すように、これらが互いに水平に位置するように配置されてもよいし、これらが互いに鉛直に位置するように配置されてもよいし、これらが互いに傾斜して位置するように配置されてもよい。また、図には、油圧モータ10及び発電機12の両方が、エリア5を除く空間に配置された場合を示したが、油圧モータ10及び発電機12の少なくとも一方がこの空間に配置されていればよい。すなわち、油圧モータ10及び発電機12のいずれか一方がエリア5に配置されていてもよい。
また、この風力発電装置1では、油圧モータ10及び発電機12の少なくとも一方が、主軸14及び油圧ポンプ8と、ナセル4の後端側壁面4Aとの間のエリア5を除く空間に配置されるようにしたので、油圧モータ10及び発電機12がエリア5に配置される場合に比べて、ナセル長さ(主軸方向)を短くすることができ、ナセル4の小型化および軽重量化が可能となる。
次に、図3及び図4A~図4Cを参照して、第2実施形態に係る風力発電装置について説明する。図3は、本発明の第2実施形態に係る風力発電装置の概略を示す全体構成図で、図4Aは、図3に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す平面図で、図4Bは、図3に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す側面図で、図4Cは、図4BのA方向矢視図である。なお、本実施形態に係る風力発電装置1は、油圧トランスミッション及び作動油配管30の構成が異なる点を除けば、第1実施形態に係る風力発電装置1とほぼ同一の構成を有する。よって、ここでは、第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明することとし、図3及び図4A~図4Cでは風力発電装置1と共通する箇所には同一の符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
このように、油圧モータ10がナセル4内に収納されることで、油圧モータ10を油圧ポンプ8の近くに配置でき、作動油が流れる配管30を短くすることができる。一方、発電機12の少なくとも一部はタワー2上部に配置されることとなるが、このとき、油圧モータ10及び発電機12が鉛直方向に配置されることで、タワー2の径を拡張することなく油圧モータ10及び発電機12を容易に設置することが可能となる。
このように、油圧モータ10をタワー2上部空間に配置することで、ナセル4のさらなる小型化及び軽重量化が可能となる。このとき、油圧モータ10は支持体44によってナセル4側に支持されているので、ナセル旋回時に、油圧モータ10と、油圧ポンプ8及び油圧モータ10を接続する配管30とを、油圧ポンプ8と一体に回転させることができる。
次に、図5及び図6A~図6Cを参照して、第3実施形態に係る風力発電装置について説明する。図5は、本発明の第3実施形態に係る風力発電装置の概略を示す全体構成図で、図6Aは、図5に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す斜視図で、図6Bは、図5に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す平面図で、図6Cは、図5に示す風力発電装置の具体的構成例を示す側面図である。なお、本実施形態に係る風力発電装置1は、油圧トランスミッション及び作動油配管30の構成が異なる点を除けば、第1実施形態に係る風力発電装置1とほぼ同一の構成を有する。よって、ここでは、第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明することとし、図5及び図6では風力発電装置1と共通する箇所には同一の符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
タワー2内には、タワー2の側壁に固定される床部45が鉛直方向に複数段設けられている。この床部45は、はしご46によって接続され、作業者が昇降できるようになっている。
油圧モータ10及び発電機12は、この床部45にそれぞれ据え付けられる。このとき、油圧モータ10及び発電機12の相対的な位置関係は、互いに水平方向に配置されていてもよいし、図に示すように、互いに鉛直方向に配置されていてもよいし、互いに傾斜して配置されていてもよい。なお、図には、油圧モータ10及び発電機12がともに床部45に設置された場合を示したが、油圧モータ10及び発電機12のタワー2側への固定手段はこれに限定されるものではなく、タワー2内の固定部材であればいずれに支持させてもよく、他にも、タワー2の側壁に支持させることもできる。また、タワー2内の固定部材は、いずれも支持体として用いることができる。
作動油配管30は、油圧ポンプ8から排出される高圧油を油圧モータ10に供給する高圧側配管31(31a、31b)と、油圧モータ10から排出される低圧油を油圧ポンプ8に供給する低圧側配管33(33a、33b)とを有する。
高圧側配管31は、ナセル4側に支持される高圧側第1配管31aと、タワー2側に支持される高圧側第2配管31bとから構成される。高圧側第1配管31aと高圧側第2配管31bとの間には、スイベル構造を有する接続部100が介装されており、接続部100によって高圧側第1配管31aと高圧側第2配管31bとが相対的に旋回自在に接続されている。
低圧側配管は、ナセル4側に支持される低圧側第1配管33aと、タワー2側に支持される低圧側第2配管33bとから構成される。低圧側第1配管33aと低圧側第2配管33bとの間には、上記した接続部100が介装されており、接続部100によって低圧側第1配管33aと低圧側第2配管33bとが相対的に回転自在に接続されている。
スイベル構造を有する接続部100は、ナセル4の旋回中心に配置される。なお、この接続部100の構成については後述する。
また、上記構成において、油圧モータ10と発電機12とが略鉛直方向に配置されることが好ましい。これにより、タワー2の径を拡張することなく、油圧モータ10及び発電機12を容易に設置できる。
さらにまた、上記構成において、油圧モータ10は、発電機12にフレキシブル継手を介して連結されることが好ましい。これにより、油圧モータ10及び発電機12の相対位置関係の自由度が向上し、また簡単に位置調整することも可能となる。
図7は、本発明の実施形態に係る風力発電装置に適用されるスイベル構造の第1構成例を示す図である。
第1構成例におけるスイベル構造の接続部100は、タワー2の軸方向に延設された二重管110と、二重管110を取り囲むように設けられた第1ジャケット114及び第2ジャケット116とを有しており、これらによって、ナセル4側の油圧ポンプ8からタワー2側の油圧モータ10へ向かう高圧油が流れる第1流路121と、油圧モータ10から油圧ポンプ8へ向かう低圧油が流れる第2流路122とが形成される。
第1ジャケット114は、内管110Aの外周側に設けられる。第1ジャケット114の内壁面と内管110Aの外壁面とから形成される環状流路114aは、第1ジャケット114の外周に接続される高圧側第1配管31aに連通している。また、環状流路114aは、内管110Aに設けられた第1連通口111を介して、内側流路に連通している。さらに、この内側流路は、内管110Aの端部に接続される高圧側第2配管31bに連通している。そして、環状流路114a及び内側流路によって第1流路121が形成される。高圧側第1配管31aから第1流路121に供給される高圧油は、環状流路114a、第1連通口111、内側流路を通って、高圧側第2配管31bへ送出される。
このように、第1流路及び第2流路の少なくとも一方に、ケーブルを収納することによって、ナセル4が旋回した場合であっても、ケーブルが損傷することを防止できる。
第2構成例におけるスイベル構造の接続部100’は、ナセル4に収納された油圧ポンプ8と、タワー2内に設けられた油圧モータ10とを、第1二重管130及び第2二重管140を用いて接続している。
第1二重管130はナセル4に固定され、第2二重管140はタワー2に固定され、第1二重管130及び第2二重管140は相対的に回転可能に構成されている。
以下に、第1二重管130及び第2二重管140の具体的な構成を説明する。
そして、上側部材131と下側部材133の一部(内周側円筒部)とによって、第1二重管130の第1内側配管132が形成されている。また、下側部材133の一部(外周側円筒部)によって、第1二重管130の第1外側配管134が形成されている。
そして、第1二重管130は、第2二重管140に回転自在に嵌合されている。このように嵌合された第1二重管130及び第2二重管140によって、ナセル4側からタワー2側へ向かう高圧油が流れる内側流路151と、タワー2側からナセル4側へ向かう低圧油が流れる外側流路152とが形成される。
このように、軸受181、182によって第1二重管130を第2二重管140に回転自在に支持することで、ナセル4に伴われた第1二重管130の旋回を妨げることがない。また、第1二重管130の重量や、内側流路151及び外側流路152を流れる高圧油と低圧油によって発生する油圧スラスト等のスラスト荷重、あるいはラジアル荷重を軸受によって確実に受けることができる。
さらに、第1二重管130と第2二重管140とは、第1内側配管132及び第2内側配管142が長手方向に相対的に摺動自在、かつ、第1外側配管134及び第2外側配管144が長手方向に相対的に摺動自在となるように嵌合されていてもよい。
このように、第1内側配管132が第2内側配管142に対して、さらには、第1外側配管134が第2外側配管144に対して相対的に長手方向に摺動自在になるように第1二重管130を第2二重管140に嵌合することで、第1二重管130の第2二重管140に対する長手方向の動きが許容され、第1二重管130及び第2二重管140の油温上昇等による熱伸びを吸収することができる。
また、第1外側配管134の管壁面と第2外側配管144の管壁面との間には、一対の外側シール156と、一対の外側シール156間に連通する油溜め158と、油溜め158に連通する大気圧タンク170とが設けられていることが好ましい。
これにより、万が一、第1外側配管134の管壁面と第2外側配管144の管壁面との間をシールする一対の外側シールのシール機能が損なわれても、外側流路から漏れ出た低圧油は油溜め158を介して大気圧タンク170に導かれる。すなわち、外側流路152から漏れた低圧油は、圧力が十分に下げられてから大気圧タンク170に回収される。よって、低圧油の外部への漏洩を防止できる。
このように、脈動防止アキュムレータ160をナセル4内に設けることで、脈動防止アキュムレータ160と油圧ポンプ8との距離が縮まり、油圧ポンプ8の脈動を効果的に防止できる。なお、脈動防止アキュムレータ160の容量は比較的小さくてもよいから、ナセル4内に十分に収納できる。特に、本実施形態では、油圧モータ10及び発電機12をナセル4に設置するのではなく、タワー2側に設置するようにしたので、ナセル4内において脈動防止アキュムレータ160のための設置スペースを十分に確保できる。
例えば、潮流、海流又は河流を利用した発電装置であって、タワーが基端部から先端部に向かって海中又は水中を鉛直方向に延びるとともに、回転翼によって潮流、海流又は河流を受けることで主軸が回転するような発電装置に本発明を適用してもよい。
