Abstract
The present invention relates to rotating equipment, and more specifically, to high efficiency rotating equipment which generates thrust through contra-rotating or produces electricity. The rotating equipment includes: a plurality of propeller modules (10, 20) including a plurality of blades (11, 21) installed inside along a circumferential direction; and a rotary module (40) which rotates the plurality of propeller modules (10, 20) or is rotated.
Claims6
Rotating equipment comprising:
- a plurality of propeller modules comprising a plurality of blades installed inside along a circumferential direction;
- and
- a rotary module for rotating the plurality of propeller modules or being rotated by the plurality of propeller modules,
- wherein the rotary module comprises:
- a body which has a hollow structure so that the plurality of blades are installed within the hollow structure and rotate around a longitudinal axis of the body;
- and
- a plurality of electric rotary drives which are installed in the body, respectively corresponding to the plurality of propeller modules, and are rotated by a power supply,
- wherein the plurality of propeller modules are arranged along the longitudinal axis of the body,
- wherein the electric rotary drives comprise:
- one or more stators which are fixed to the body at positions corresponding to respective propeller modules;
- and
- one or more rotors which are coupled to the respective propeller modules and rotated by magnetic interaction with the one or more stators, and
- wherein each of the one or more stators is installed in a pair with a rotor therebetween with respect to a radial direction, and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of propeller modules rotates in a different direction from another of the plurality of propeller modules.
