Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wind power gear box equipment, in particular to a flexible buffering wind power gear box connecting mechanism with overload protection. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of wind power generation, the wind power gear box is a key device that converts the low speed and high torque of the wind wheel into the high speed and low torque required by the generator. However, in actual operation, due to the instability and intermittency of wind energy, the load on the wind wheel often fluctuates, which brings a series of challenges to the wind power gear box. Sudden changes in wind conditions, such as strong winds or gusts, can cause the input torque of the wind power gear box to increase instantaneously, i.e. overload. The traditional wind power gear box connecting mechanism often lacks effective protection mechanisms when facing overload, which can cause the gears, bearings and other key components in the gear box to bear excessive stress, leading to gear tooth surface wear, fatigue fracture, bearing damage, and even the failure of the entire gear box, seriously affecting the normal operation of the wind power system, increasing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment, and reducing the efficiency and reliability of wind power generation.
[0003] For the related technology in the above, the inventor finds that the existing device has the following defects: when facing the overload situation often occurring in wind power generation, such as sudden increase in torque caused by strong wind or gust, many devices may simply rely on traditional mechanical structure for power transmission, which can cause excessive torque to act directly on key components when overload occurs. The existing device may not be able to effectively absorb and buffer the overload energy in time, which can easily cause equipment failure, increase the maintenance frequency and downtime of the equipment, and seriously affect the continuity and stability of wind power generation.

[0029] Further explanation is needed:
[0030] Power transmission and structural support: The first rotating shaft body 201 is fixedly installed at the output end of the wind power gear box body 1, serving as the starting link of power transmission, which receives power from the gear box and transmits it to the subsequent components. The first output disc 202 is connected to the first rotating shaft body 201 by bolts, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission. At the same time, the first bearing seat 203 and the second bearing seat 205 play an important role in this process, which respectively support the first rotating shaft body 201 and the second rotating shaft body 206, so that the two rotating shafts can rotate smoothly, reducing the frictional resistance in the rotating process, and ensuring the efficiency of power transmission. The base 204 provides a solid foundation for the first bearing seat 203 and the second bearing seat 205, bearing the weight of the entire mechanism and various forces generated during work, providing stable structural support for the entire power transmission system, ensuring that the mechanism will not fail due to unstable structure during power transmission.
[0031] Overload protection and buffering: When the system faces an overload situation, such as sudden increase in wind speed, causing the torque in power transmission to exceed the normal range, multiple components in the mechanism work together to protect the system. The metal soft cable 209 will move relatively in the annular linear slide rail inside the spherical rotating block 208, and since one end of it is connected to the limiting block 210, when the metal soft cable 209 moves, the limiting block 210 will be affected, thereby compressing or stretching the spring 211 connected to it. The spring 211 absorbs part of the overload energy through its elastic deformation, playing a buffering and protective role. At the same time, the side of the metal soft cable 209 close to the first output disc 202 is connected by the hinge block body 213 and the hinge seat body 214, and can also be buffered by a certain relative rotation during overload, avoiding the direct impact of excessive impact on the gear box and other core components due to overload, effectively preventing damage caused by overload, and improving the reliability and safety of the entire wind power gear box connecting mechanism.
[0032] Improve the adaptability and stability of the system: the hinge structure of the hinge block body 213 and the hinge seat body 214 makes the system have a certain flexibility during operation, and can make corresponding angle adjustment according to different stress states, so that the mechanism can better adapt to different working conditions and load conditions. The protective sleeve 212 wraps the metal soft cable 209, providing protection for it while also serving as a buffer component to some extent, further enhancing the buffering performance of the system. The bundled steel cable 215 is composed of multiple high-strength cables and can withstand a force of 5000 to 8000N. When the system bears a large load, it can share the load with other components, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the system. Through the coordinated work of these components, the mechanism 2 enables the entire wind turbine gearbox connecting mechanism to operate stably under various wind conditions and load conditions, prolonging the service life of the equipment and ensuring the stable operation of the wind power generation system.
[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0034] First, the wind turbine gearbox body converts the low speed and high torque input from the wind wheel into high speed and low torque output. It uses internal gear combination to change the transmission ratio through the meshing of gears of different sizes, and increases the speed of the rotating power of the wind wheel to prepare for the subsequent power transmission. In this process, the wind turbine gearbox body is the starting point of energy conversion and power transmission in the entire system, which converts wind energy into mechanical energy and outputs power in a form suitable for subsequent equipment to receive.
[0035] Second, the first rotating shaft body receives power from the wind turbine gearbox body and transmits it to the first output disc. The first output disc is firmly connected to the first rotating shaft body by bolts to ensure the stability of power transmission. At the same time, the first rotating shaft body is movably connected with the first bearing seat, and the first bearing seat is installed on the base to provide support and guidance for the rotation of the first rotating shaft body, reducing the friction resistance when it rotates. The first bearing seat and the base together ensure that the first rotating shaft body can rotate stably when transmitting power, avoiding affecting the power transmission efficiency due to uneven stress or excessive friction.
[0036] Then, the power continues to be transmitted to the second rotating shaft body. The second rotating shaft body is supported by the second bearing seat, which is also installed on the base to ensure that the second rotating shaft body can rotate smoothly. The rotating disc on one side of the second rotating shaft body starts to rotate, which cooperates with the spherical rotating block to drive the metal soft cable to move in the annular straight rail inside the spherical rotating block. At this time, the tension or tension of the metal soft cable will be transmitted to the bundled steel cable, spring and other components through the connection relationship with other components. The hinge structure of the hinge block body at one end of the metal soft cable and the hinge seat body allows a certain angle adjustment, providing a certain flexibility and adaptability for the entire system to adapt to different stress conditions.
[0037] Next, in the normal working state, when certain fluctuations or shocks occur during power transmission, the spring will deform according to the force condition, playing a buffering role. The protective sleeve as a protective component of the metal soft cable can not only prevent it from being affected by the external environment, but also absorb part of the impact energy to a certain extent. At the same time, the bundled steel cable will bear a certain tension according to the force condition, and work together with other components to ensure the stable operation of the system. The limiting block limits the movement range of the metal soft cable when it moves, prevents the metal soft cable from being stretched or compressed too much, and avoids damage to the entire system due to abnormal movement.
[0038] Finally, when the system is overloaded, the metal soft cable will displace in the annular linear slide rail of the spherical rotating block, and at the same time drive the limiting block to move, so that the spring is further compressed or stretched to absorb more overload energy. The bundled steel cable will also bear greater tension, and through its high strength characteristics, it ensures that the system will not fail instantly due to overload. Through the coordinated work of these components, including the movement of the metal soft cable, the elastic deformation of the spring, the limitation of the limiting block, and the load bearing of the bundled steel cable, the mechanism disperses and buffers the overload energy, avoids the damage of excessive overload energy to the wind turbine gearbox body and other key components, and ensures the safety of the entire system. The second output disc outputs the processed power to the next stage equipment such as the generator or other transmission devices, completing the power output process of the entire wind power system.
[0039] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application, therefore: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
