Title:
WIND-COLLECTING TOWER FOR A WIND POWER GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/062346
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wind-collecting tower for a wind power generator, comprising a cylindrical wind tunnel which stands upright on a base, and which has a circumferential surface with a plurality of wind inlet ports for introduction of wind; a guide unit having a plurality of guide passages arranged on the circumference of the wind tunnel to guide wind introduced from the outside to the wind inlet ports; a plurality of louvered windows formed on the guide passages of the guide unit and spaced apart from the wind tunnel, such that the wind introduced into the guide unit is guided downwardly by the guide unit and introduced into the wind inlet ports of the wind tunnel; and one or more support frames which are arranged transversely on the respective guide passages, and which have one or more through-holes covered by the louvered windows. The guide unit comprises: a plurality of wind-collecting plates arranged in a radial direction along the circumference of the wind tunnel; and a plurality of guide plates arranged on the circumference of the wind tunnel between the wind-collecting plates and spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction such that the guide plates cooperate with the wind-collecting plates so as to form the guide passages. The entirety of the surface area of the wind tunnel serves to introduce air from the outside, and power-generating efficiency of the wind power which generates electrical energy by means of the wind collected in the wind tunnel is improved.
