Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine generators, and in particular to a wind turbine generator impeller locking disk. Background Art

[0002] A wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. A wind turbine generally consists of a wind rotor, a generator (including a device), a stabiliser (tail wing), a tower, a speed limit safety mechanism and an energy storage device. The working principle of a wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind rotor rotates under the action of wind force, and it converts the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the wind rotor shaft. The generator rotates and generates electricity driven by the wind rotor shaft. Broadly speaking, wind energy is also solar energy, so it can also be said that a wind turbine is a heat energy generator that uses the sun as a heat source and the atmosphere as a working medium.

[0003] The impeller locking device of a wind turbine is used to temporarily lock the rotor when personnel enter the hub or repair the rotating parts to prevent the rotating parts from causing mechanical damage to the human body. With the development of large-scale wind turbines, from the earliest wind turbines of several hundred kilowatts to the 4-8 megawatt wind turbines that have appeared at home and abroad in recent years, the rotor diameter has become larger and larger, and the weight of the rotating part has become heavier, reaching more than 100 tons. When a single blade is installed, the bending moment generated by the weight of the blade will exceed the bearing limit of the impeller locking device. Therefore, for the impeller locking of large wind turbines, the requirements for the impeller locking device are getting higher and higher. A single impeller locking device often cannot meet the requirements for impeller locking. Therefore, the current impeller locking device often uses multiple locking pins to lock the rotor together.

[0004] Due to machining errors, even if multiple pins are used, only a few pins can bear most of the locking torque. Even if the locking holes are matched, only the matched pins can be improved, and all pins cannot be loaded evenly. Therefore, how to make multiple locking pins evenly distribute the shear load from the impeller rotor is a key issue for the future large-scale wind turbine generator to achieve horizontal single-blade installation.
