Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind energy power generation equipment, in particular to a small three-blade direct-drive wind turbine with an active synchronous pitch-changing function. Background Art

[0002] Wind energy is an important direction for the development of new energy due to its cleanliness, renewability and wide distribution. Wind power is the main force in the field of new energy and a clean power generation method with great development potential. In recent years, the development of wind energy has been very rapid. Medium and large generators are the mainstream, and small wind turbines still occupy a part of the market share. At present, the mainstream wind power generation platform in the market is a three-blade variable-pitch variable-speed horizontal axis wind turbine. This type of wind turbine has the characteristics of high wind energy utilization, high stability, high power generation efficiency, and high controllable freedom.

[0003] The popular small-scale civilian horizontal-axis wind turbines in the market are mainly three-blade fixed-pitch constant-speed types, which mostly use passive stall control of blades and passive yaw of tail wing. This type of wind turbine has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, but its power stability is poor, especially in strong wind conditions, it is very easy to be damaged. The passive stall control used by fixed-pitch wind turbines completely relies on the aerodynamic characteristics of the blades themselves, and the manufacturing process is difficult. After the blades stall, the power is unstable, and the quality of the power is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the invention

[0008] The middle section of the blade root cam is supported by the side plate through a bearing, the portion of the blade root cam protruding from the side plate is installed with a blade, the portion of the blade root cam placed on the inner side of the side plate is connected to one end of a transmission connecting rod through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the transmission connecting rod is connected to a special-shaped synchronization disk, and the special-shaped synchronization disk is arranged in the side plate; the special-shaped synchronization disk is matched with one end of the linear shaft through a bearing, and the other end of the linear shaft is threadedly connected to the output end of the pitch motor; the linear shaft can push the special-shaped synchronization disk to move axially and the special-shaped synchronization disk can rotate around the linear shaft;

[0009] The hub bottom plate is arranged at the end of the side plate, the main shaft below the hub bottom plate is a hollow shaft, and the linear shaft passes through the main shaft; the main shaft is connected to the input end of the generator.

[0010] In the above scheme, there are three blades, and three bearing fixing rings are arranged on the special-shaped synchronous disk. The bearing fixing rings are evenly distributed along the circumference of the special-shaped synchronous disk, and the axis of the bearing fixing ring is parallel to the rotation plane of the special-shaped synchronous disk, and the eccentric surface is perpendicular to the axis of the central through hole of the special-shaped synchronous disk.

[0011] In the above solution, the end of the linear shaft that matches the pitch motor is provided with an external thread, and the output end of the pitch motor is provided with an internal thread.

[0012] In the above solution, a deflector is provided at the front end of the side plate.

[0013] In the above solution, the cabin includes a cabin base and a top shell;

[0014] The top shell cooperates with the cabin base to form a closed space; the cabin base is provided with an engine fixing plate, a pitch motor fixing plate and a bridge-type slider in sequence.

[0015] In the above scheme, the main shaft is connected to the generator through a coupling; a main shaft limiting sleeve is provided on the main shaft; the coupling, the limiting sleeve and the main shaft are all placed in the cabin base.

[0016] In the above solution, two mounting holes are provided on the cabin base and the top shell, and the mounting holes are used to install bearings supporting the main shaft.

[0017] In the above scheme, the threaded part of the linear shaft cooperates with the internal thread of the hollow shaft of the pitch motor, and a flat key is provided at the end of the linear shaft thread and fixed in the D-shaped hole of the bridge-type slider; the two feet of the bridge-type slider are mounted on the light rod, so that the linear shaft and the bridge-type slider can only move axially.

[0018] How to use a small three-blade wind turbine with synchronous pitch control function, including power generation mode, pitch control mode and shutdown mode;

[0019] in,

[0020] Power generation mode:

[0021] When the external wind speed is greater than the cut-in wind speed, the wind wheel absorbs wind energy and rotates, driving the main shaft on the hub bottom plate to rotate. The torque of the main shaft is transmitted to the input shaft of the generator through the coupling. The rotation of the input shaft causes the generator to output electrical energy.

[0022] Pitch mode:

[0023] When the external wind speed is less than the rated wind speed, the pitch angle is set at the optimal angle of attack, and the default pitch angle is 0°; when the wind speed is greater than the rated wind speed, the pitch motor needs to be controlled to increase the blade pitch angle. Specifically:

[0024] The pitch control signal is transmitted to the pitch motor. The rotor inside the pitch motor rotates, causing the linear shaft to move axially. The linear shaft axially pushes the special-shaped synchronous disk. The axial movement of the special-shaped synchronous disk is converted into the rotation of the blade root cam through the transmission connecting rod, thereby realizing pitch control.

[0025] Stop mode:

[0026] When the wind speed exceeds the design range, the variable pitch motor adjusts the pitch angle of the blades to the zero torque position to achieve natural shutdown.

[0027] In the above solution, the range of pitch change is 0° to 100°.

[0028] The specific beneficial effects are reflected in:

[0029] 1. The pitch mechanism and pitch motor composed of blade root cam, transmission connecting rod, special-shaped synchronous disk and linear shaft can realize synchronous pitch of three blades. The pitch angle changes with the wind speed. When the wind speed exceeds the rated wind speed, the wind speed continues to increase, and the pitch angle increases to reduce the energy absorbed by the wind wheel, so that the power is stabilized at the rated power.

[0030] 2. The pitch mechanism provides a pitch range of 0° to 100°, allowing the pitch to be changed to a position where the torque generated by the blades is zero. At this time, the wind rotor will naturally shut down without input. At the same time, the thrust applied to the blades is a braking force in the opposite direction of the wind rotor's rotation, forming an aerodynamic brake, which is an important self-protection measure under extreme wind conditions.

[0031] 3. The streamlined shape of the hub composed of the fairing and side panels completely contains the variable pitch mechanism. At the same time, the shape of the nacelle is also streamlined, which can reduce the axial thrust generated by the incoming wind speed on the hub and nacelle, thereby reducing the overturning moment of the whole machine and improving the safety of the whole machine.

[0032] 4. The variable pitch mechanism designed in the present invention is applied to small wind turbines and can adopt active variable pitch control. It can operate at the optimal angle of attack when the wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed; when the wind speed is higher than the rated speed, the pitch angle is increased to reduce the angle of attack and stabilize the power at the rated value; in the event of extremely strong winds, the pitch is changed to the zero torque position to achieve natural shutdown protection.

6. The method for using a small three-blade wind turbine with synchronous pitch control function according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: Power generation mode, pitch control mode and shutdown mode; Among them, power generation mode: When the external wind speed is greater than the cut-in wind speed, the wind wheel (1) absorbs wind energy and rotates, driving the main shaft (1.61) on the hub base plate (1.6) to rotate, and the torque of the main shaft (1.61) is transmitted to the input shaft of the generator (3) through the coupling (2.5).
