The application discloses a fault detection method, device and equipment of a variable
pitch system, and a readable storage medium. The variable
pitch system can obtain a blade angle and a reference angle when a proximity switch is triggered, compare the blade angle with the reference angle, update forward counting data and / or negative counting data corresponding to the proximity switch according to a comparison result, and determine a fault type of the variable
pitch system according to the updated forward counting data and negative counting data. According to the application, the blade angle and the reference angle when the proximity switch is triggered are used for fault detection, compared with fault detection according to a switch
signal of the proximity switch, the problem that fault detection is not timely due to
signal delay is avoided, and the application only needs to use two counting data to complete fault detection of the variable pitch system, so that the detection method is simple and reliable, and complex model operation is not needed.
