Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a horizontal shaft rotor suitable for a wind turbine or a water turbine, which has blades with high wind receiving efficiency, resistance to breakage, and high rotation efficiency. A horizontal shaft rotor 1, wherein the horizontal shaft rotor 1 has a plurality of blades 3 facing a radial direction fixed to the peripheral surface of the hub 2, and each blade 3 is a lift type in which a string length is gradually increased from a base end part 4A to a blade end 3G in a front view, and a distal part from a radial direction middle part 3A of the blade 3 is a forward curved part 5, and a front end surface 5A of a forward tip of the forward curved part is a lift type that a leading edge 5F is thicker in a front view.
Claims8
A horizontal shaft rotor comprising:
- a hub and a plurality of blades facing in a radial direction and fixed to a peripheral surface of the hub,
- wherein a distal part from a radial direction middle part of each of the plurality of blades has a forward curved part,
- a front end surface of a forward tip of the forward curved part is a lift type in which a leading edge side of the front end surface is thicker than a trailing edge side of the front end surface, in a front view,
- at least a line extending along the front end surface, located at the forward tip of the forward curved part remote from the hub, is orthogonal to an axis center line of the hub, and
- a maximum thickness of the front end surface at the forward tip of the forward curved part is set to be 50% of a thickness of a base end part of a base part.
A horizontal shaft rotor comprising:
- a hub having a plurality of blades extending radially therefrom, and each of the plurality of blades being fixed to a peripheral surface of the hub, and
- the hub defining an axis center line,
- wherein a distal part of each of the plurality of blades has a forward curved part,
- a front end surface of a forward tip, of the forward curved part, has a lift type design in which a leading edge side of the front end surface is thicker than a trailing edge side of the front end surface,
- at least a line, extending along the front end surface of each of the plurality of blades, extends orthogonal to the axis center line of the hub, and
- a maximum thickness of the front end surface at the forward tip of the forward curved part is set to be 50% of a thickness of a base end part of a base part.
