Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wind power generation, and in particular to a wind turbine rotor mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A wind turbine's pitch system adjusts the angle between the blades and wind direction according to wind speed, controlling the amount of mechanical energy absorbed. This ensures maximum energy capture (corresponding to rated power) while also minimizing wind impact on the wind turbine. When wind speeds are high, the blade angle of attack is reduced through an adjustment mechanism. When wind speeds are low, the blade angle of attack is increased, maintaining a constant rotor speed relative to the wind turbine. This ultimately improves the efficiency and power quality of the entire wind turbine system. As a core component of large wind turbine control systems, the pitch system plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe, stable, and efficient operation of the turbine.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream wind turbine rotor mechanism uses a cast hub shell as the carrier, with two or three independent pitch bearings connecting two or three blades evenly distributed in a rotating plane. Two or three independent pitch mechanisms drive each blade to perform pitch movements to capture wind energy as needed. Problems with this rotor mechanism include:
[0004] 1. Due to the independent pitch control, this structure requires multiple independent pitch drive mechanisms, which are complex and costly.
[0005] 2. Due to the independent pitch control of the mechanism, each drive mechanism and blade pitch tooth surface needs to bear all the loads. However, since the trend of modern wind turbines is to have higher and higher power, the blades are also getting larger and larger, resulting in increasing loads. The drive mechanism and many tooth-driven wind turbines will suffer from tooth surface wear and damage due to excessive and concentrated loads, which seriously affects the normal operation of the wind turbine. The damage to the tooth surface may even cause the entire wind turbine to fail to reach its design life. Summary of the Invention

As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the pitch bearing 1 includes:
[0055] The bearing inner ring 11 is a ring body with its axial ends rigidly connected to the blade roots of the first blade 21 and the second blade 22, respectively.

During the rotation, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are synchronously driven to rotate around the axis of the bearing inner ring 11 in the forward or reverse direction by a certain angle, so that the angle between the blade itself and the blade rotating surface is changed, thereby completing the pitch or paddle action (paddle retraction refers to the process of reversely adjusting the angle between the blade itself and the blade rotating surface to return to the blade zero position); the pitch drive mechanism can adopt various forms, among which:
[0058] Attachment Figure 2a 、 2b The first embodiment of the pitch drive mechanism is shown, which includes a first pitch drive cylinder A1 and a first U-shaped hole A2; the pitch drive cylinders described in the present invention are all electrically controlled cylinders, having a first end and a second end, and the distance between the first end and the second end can be controlled to adjust within a certain range; wherein, the first U-shaped hole A2 is a through hole opened on the side wall of the bearing inner ring 11; the first pitch drive cylinder A1 is perpendicular to the axis of the bearing outer ring 12, and its first end is rotatably connected to the bearing outer ring 12, and its second end is rotatably connected to the bearing inner ring 11; the first pitch drive cylinder A1 The portion of the rod between the first end and the second end passes through the inner and outer walls of the bearing inner ring 11 from the first U-shaped hole A2, and the size of the first U-shaped hole A2 meets the needs of pitch change or slurry retraction of the two-blade wind blades; the pitch change and slurry retraction principle is as follows: since the bearing outer ring 12 is restricted by the impeller main shaft 3 and the generator 4 and cannot rotate around its own axis, the first end of the first pitch drive cylinder A1 is fixed relative to the axis of the bearing inner ring 11. When the first pitch drive cylinder A1 is controlled to be extended or shortened, the second end of the first pitch drive cylinder A1 pulls the bearing inner ring 11 to rotate around its own axis, driving the two-blade wind blades to pitch or retract;

When the second pitch drive cylinder B1 is controlled to lengthen or shorten, and the third pitch drive cylinder B2 is synchronously controlled to move in the opposite direction, the second ends of the second pitch drive cylinder B1 and the third pitch drive cylinder B2 jointly pull the pitch drive shaft B3 and synchronously drive the bearing inner ring 11 to rotate around its own axis, driving the two-blade wind blades to pitch or slurry collection;
[0060] Attachment Figure 4a 、 4bThe third embodiment of the pitch drive mechanism is shown, which includes a fourth pitch drive cylinder C1, a fifth pitch drive cylinder C2, a mechanical connecting rod C3 and a fourth U-shaped hole C4; wherein, the first end of the mechanical connecting rod C3 is rotatably connected to the bearing outer ring 12; the fourth U-shaped hole C4 is a through hole opened on the side wall of the bearing inner ring 11; the fourth pitch drive cylinder C1, the mechanical connecting rod C3 and the fifth pitch drive cylinder C2 are all perpendicular to the axis of the bearing outer ring 12, the first end of the fourth pitch drive cylinder C1 is rotatably connected to the bearing outer ring 12, and the second end is rotatably connected to the second end of the mechanical connecting rod C3; the first end of the fifth pitch drive cylinder C2 is rotatably connected to the second end of the mechanical connecting rod C3, and the second end is rotatably connected to the bearing inner ring 11.

When the fourth pitch drive cylinder C1 is controlled to be lengthened or shortened, and the fifth pitch drive cylinder C2 is synchronously controlled to move in the opposite direction, the fourth pitch drive cylinder C1 and the fifth pitch drive cylinder C2, through the linkage with the mechanical connecting rod C3, jointly pull the bearing inner ring 11 to rotate around its own axis, thereby driving the two-blade wind blades to pitch or retract;

When the pitch drive motor D3 is controlled to drive the pitch drive gear D1 to rotate forward or reverse, the bearing inner ring gear D2 drives the bearing inner ring 11 to rotate around the axis, thereby driving the two-blade wind blades to pitch or shear.

[0066] In summary, the wind turbine rotor mechanism and power generation method provided by the present invention, by installing two blades on the same bearing, only requires one set of pitch bearings and pitch drive mechanisms, and its material cost, manufacturing cost, as well as transportation, lifting and installation costs are greatly reduced; by connecting the two blades in the middle with a rigid body and distributing them symmetrically around the center, when performing a pitch action, the torque generated by the wind acting on the two blades will cancel each other out and will not be transmitted to the drive mechanism and the drive tooth surface. In theory, the drive mechanism only needs to overcome the friction of the bearing to drive the pitch action, and the pitch action will not be affected by the wind load, greatly reducing the force on the drive mechanism, greatly simplifying the drive mechanism, and reducing tooth surface wear and damage; moreover, the inner ring of the pitch bearing is designed with a larger size space, which can be designed more simply. Due to the force balance, the load-bearing capacity can also be reduced; the wind turbine in use can also be appropriately modified to reduce the tooth surface load, reduce the force on the drive mechanism and the pitch tooth surface, and improve the wear caused by the load.
