Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind turbine technology and relates to a permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing maturity of wind turbine technology, simplification, integration, and modularization have become top priorities in the design of generator components. Adding integrated functions to the existing conventional stator support structure better meets the current design requirements of wind turbine components. In the current design, the axial distance between the cooling fan and the stator support tower-side flange is too tight, resulting in insufficient installation space. The locking device needs to withstand significant torque, and integration is poor, requiring the design and installation of numerous components. The cooling system is installed in the nacelle, occupying a large space. The radial cover plate is bolted to the stator support, as are the ventilation ducts and the impeller-side filter box. The core ends are end plate structures, bolted together, increasing operational difficulty and the risk of foreign objects falling in. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine generator that integrates ventilation and cooling, locking device and end plate structure on a conventional fixed-size bracket structure to achieve the design requirements of simplification, integration and modularization.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine generator is characterized by comprising a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The stator assembly includes a stator support, a stator core, and windings. The rotor assembly includes a rotor support, magnets, and rotor end caps. The stator support includes an impeller-side flange. A partition plate is fixedly welded inside the impeller-side flange. A middle flange is fixed at the center of one side of the partition plate. Wind turbine mounting bases are symmetrically arranged on the partition plates at both ends of the middle flange. Multiple wind guide plates are arranged on the other side of the partition plate. A first stiffener and a second stiffener are respectively arranged at both ends of the wind guide plate.
[0006] The air guide plate is welded to the middle partition plate, impeller side flange, first stiffener plate, and second stiffener plate to form a closed ventilation duct. It is integrated with the stator support. The impeller side flange is machined to form a concave platform to replace the stator core impeller side end plate, reducing the number of parts.
[0007] Impeller-side filter boxes are symmetrically welded and fixed at both ends of the inner side of the impeller-side flange. The impeller-side filter boxes are annular. A radial cover plate is provided between the impeller-side flange and the impeller-side filter box. The radial cover plate is integrated with the wind turbine stator support. The radial cover plate is welded to the middle partition plate, the column and the perimeter of the impeller-side flange, eliminating the need for bolt connections.
[0008] A radial filter box is provided above the radial cover plate, and a fan is provided on the fan mounting base. The fan operates in a ventilation mode. Under the negative pressure of the fan, the air enters the cavity formed by the stator and rotor through the radial filter box and the impeller side filter box, and then enters the air gap between the stator and rotor through the winding end. After that, it flows into the radial ventilation channel on the stator core, and then enters the cavity formed by the stator core and the stator support. Finally, it is drawn out by the fan and discharged into the atmosphere.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer circle of the middle flange is welded to two locking sleeve bases, the outer circle of the locking sleeve base is welded to the middle partition plate as a whole, and a locking bushing is fixed on the locking sleeve base.
[0010] Furthermore, the two locking sleeve bases are at a 150° angle.
[0011] Furthermore, the partition plate is conical.
[0012] Furthermore, the fan mounting base is fixed to the cooling fan by bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, multiple columns are evenly arranged at the connection between the outer periphery of the partition plate and the impeller-side flange.
[0014] Furthermore, multiple air guide plates are arranged around the middle partition.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] A permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine generator features a cooling fan directly mounted on the generator, eliminating piping resistance and improving cooling efficiency, thereby extending generator lifespan and reducing costs. The impeller-side air inlet employs a frame structure, increasing the air intake area for enhanced cooling efficiency and facilitating replacement and maintenance, thus saving on after-sales costs. The impeller-side air inlet uses an axial design to prevent rainwater from entering the generator, further extending its lifespan. The airflow path utilizes a welded integrated design, enhancing its sealing and reducing the number of cold-cooled components, thus lowering the failure rate of motor parts. The cooling fan outlet uses a grid-guided design to prevent rainwater from entering the fan, reducing the fan failure rate, extending its lifespan, and saving on after-sales costs.
[0017] The conventional stator support structure integrates ventilation and cooling, locking devices, and end plate structures to achieve the design requirements of simplification, integration, and modularization. This reduces the installation space of the cooling system, eliminates the bolt connection between the impeller side filter box and the stator support, and reduces the difficulty of operation and the risk of foreign objects falling.

The air guide plates 9 are welded to the central flange 2, the impeller-side flange 7, the first stiffener 10, and the second stiffener 11 to form a closed ventilation channel. The stator support is an integrated design. The impeller-side flange 7 is machined to form a recessed platform, replacing the impeller-side end plate of the stator core 18, reducing the number of components.
[0029] Furthermore, the outer circle of the middle flange 1 is welded to two locking sleeve bases 5, and the outer circle of the locking sleeve base 5 is welded to the middle partition plate 2 as a whole, which increases the strength and meets the requirement of withstanding a large torque. A locking bushing 6 is fixed on the locking sleeve base 5, and the two locking sleeve bases 5 are at 150°. Two locking sleeve bases 5 are welded to the middle flange 1, and the locking bushing 6 is then welded to the locking sleeve base 5 as a whole, which ensures the strength of the stator support while being able to withstand a large torque.
[0030] Furthermore, impeller-side filter boxes 12 are symmetrically welded and fixed to both ends of the inner side of the impeller-side flange 7, forming an integral structure, eliminating the need for bolt connections.

The cooling system is integrated with the stator support, and the stator support diaphragm adopts a tapered design to leave space for the installation of the cooling fan. Multiple columns 3 are evenly arranged at the connection between the outer periphery of the diaphragm 2 and the impeller side flange 7.
[0032] The cooling fan draws air in, and under the negative pressure of the fan, the air enters the cavity formed by the stator and rotor through the radial filter box 8 and the impeller-side filter box 12. It then enters the air gap between the stator and rotor through the winding ends, and enters the radial ventilation channel 17 on the stator core 18. From there, it enters the cavity formed by the stator core 18 and the stator support, and is finally drawn out by the cooling fan and discharged into the atmosphere. The airflow path adopts a welded integrated design, which enhances the airflow path sealing and reduces the number of cold-cooled components, thus lowering the failure rate of motor components. The cavity is constructed using a radial cover plate 16, a guide plate 9, the stator core 18, and the stator support. The generator is constructed with baffles, and the cooling fan is directly mounted on the generator, eliminating the need for piping resistance and improving cooling efficiency. This, in turn, extends the generator's lifespan and reduces its cost. The cooling fan exhaust outlet features a louvered windproof design to prevent rainwater from entering the generator. The impeller-side air inlet uses a frame structure, which increases the air intake area, improves cooling efficiency, and facilitates replacement and maintenance, saving on after-sales costs.
