Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation of gear boxes for power systems, in particular to a heat dissipation structure of a gear box. Background Art

[0002] A wind farm refers to a place where wind power is generated. Wind power is a renewable, pollution-free, high-energy and promising energy source. Wind farms mainly generate electricity with wind turbines. Wind turbines contain many components, and the gearbox is one of them. It can transmit power, increasing the speed of the blades through the gearbox so that the speed reaches the rated speed of the generator, so that the generator can generate power normally. However, the gearbox will generate heat when working, so a heat dissipation structure needs to be installed at the gearbox.

[0003] For example, the wind turbine gearbox cooling system with authorization announcement number CN 204664374 U, the utility model belongs to the field of wind power, and in particular relates to a wind turbine gearbox cooling system, including an oil cooling radiator. The utility model prevents the oil cooling radiator from being blocked due to the blockage of the cooling holes, which leads to a decrease in the cooling capacity of the system and limited power operation, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the wind turbine.

[0004] However, there are still some problems in the use of the gearbox heat dissipation system mentioned above. For example, when the gearbox is cooled by an oil-cooled radiator, the lubricating oil in the radiator will transfer the heat to the inner wall of the gearbox, and the inner wall of the gearbox will transfer the heat to the outer wall, and then transfer the heat to the air through the outer wall of the gearbox. During the heat transfer process, due to the low heat transfer coefficients of liquid and solid heat transfer, and non-metal and gas heat transfer, and the gearbox is installed inside the wind turbine generator set, the gearbox is only cooled by the circulation of the lubricating oil inside the oil-cooled radiator, and the efficiency is relatively low. Therefore, we propose a new type of gearbox heat dissipation structure. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model provides a gear box heat dissipation structure to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] As a further improvement of the technical solution: the heat-conducting column is located between the gear box body and the shell, wherein the heat-conducting column is made of aluminum alloy.

[0009] As a further improvement of the technical solution: the cooling plate is made of semiconductor, wherein the cooling surface of the cooling plate is close to the gear box body, and the heating surface of the cooling plate is far away from the gear box body.

[0010] As a further improvement of the technical solution: the left baffle and the right baffle are both made of stainless steel, wherein the left and right sides of the main shaft respectively penetrate the left baffle and the right baffle.

[0012] As a further improvement of the technical solution: the diameter of the outer shell is larger than the diameter of the gear box body, wherein there is a gap between the outer shell and the gear box body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The main shaft, left fan and right fan work together to speed up the air circulation between the gear box body and the outer shell, thereby speeding up the heat dissipation of the gear box.

[0016] The left baffle and the right baffle can protect the left fan and the right fan, preventing impurities from entering the air inlet cover and the air outlet cover and damaging the left fan and the right fan. At the same time, the air inlet cover and the air outlet cover can also prevent workers from direct contact with the left fan and the right fan, thereby improving the safety of the entire equipment.
