Abstract
The hydroelectric generator using a conduit turbine is furnished with a driving shaft which penetrates the center of a conduit through which a flow passes to the inside; a conduit support main body which is provided so as to support the driving shaft; a propeller which is fixed to the driving shaft, and rotates by the movement of the flow; an internal gear which rotates together with the driving shaft from between the conduit support main bodies; an external gear which is driven together with a shaft, outside the conduit, as a rotational force is delivered to the internal gear; and an electric generator.
Claims6
A hydroelectric power generator using a conduit turbine including at least two conduit turbine units serially arranged in multiple levels, the conduit turbine units each comprising:
- a driving shaft which penetrates the center of a conduit into which a flow for electric generation passes;
- conduit support main bodies provided so as to support the driving shaft and be rotated freely, and having an arm extending towards the inner surface of the conduit;
- a propeller disposed between the conduit support main bodies, fixed to the driving shaft, and rotated by means of a flow movement;
- an internal gear rotated between the conduit support main bodies together with the driving shaft;
- an external gear driven outside the conduit together with a shaft as a rotational force is delivered to the internal gear by means of a ball chain;
- and
- an electric generator which generates electricity by receiving the rotational force of the external gear and the shaft,
- wherein a pressure support integrally coupled with the driving shaft is installed at a tip of the conduit support main body, and a thrust bearing is provided at a contact portion between the conduit support main body and the pressure support.
