Abstract
Provided is a small-sized propeller windmill which can efficiently generate power even when a wing speed is low, has no possibility that the windmill is broken even when a strong wind blows, can stably ensure a weathercock direction of a base blade, and can suppress an environmental burden, in such a propeller windmill, the blade having a corrugated wing shape is supported in a cantilever manner by way of an elastic body, and the blade and the elastic body are made of paper or plastic. Further, to stably ensure the weathercock. direction of the base blade, a weathercock stabilizing mechanism is arranged behind the base blade.
Claims8
A propeller windmill for a small-sized power generator, comprising:
- a lateral support strut rotatably connected to a vertical support strut, a power generator mounted on the lateral support strut;
- a base blade configured as a two-wing propeller with each wing formed of a thin-plate-like sheet, the base blade having a symmetrical shape with respect to a rotational axis and being mounted behind the power generator on a rotary input shaft of the power generator by way of a hub;
- and
- a windcock stabilizing mechanism;
- wherein the thin-plate-like sheet has a corrugated wing shape such that a cross-sectional shape of each of the wings of the base blade in a direction perpendicular to a direction extending toward a distal end from a proximal end of that wing of the base blade is corrugated, and the base blade is exchangeable with a base blade of a different pitch angle or a different length measured between the proximal end and the distal end of each of the wings of the base blade;
- and
- wherein the weathercock stabilizing mechanism is arranged behind the base blade coaxially with the base blade, the weathercock stabilizing mechanism is constituted of a cylindrical body which is formed of a thin sheet material and has a front portion thereof closed, and a plurality of cross wind receiving wings which are continuously formed on a rear end of the cylindrical body, and the power generator, the base blade and the weathercock stabilizing mechanism are formed as an integral body in a, yawing rotatable manner.
