[0050] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0051] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of a wind turbine generator system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting base 1, a turntable 2, an air duct 3, an impeller 4, a wind shield 7, a first driving member 8, a signal acquisition module 9, and a control system 10. The turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1, the air duct 3 is arranged on the turntable 2, the impeller 4 is arranged in the air duct 3, the wind shield 7 is movably connected to the turntable 2, and the wind shield 7 is used to block the air inlet of at least a portion of the air duct 3. The first driving member 8 is arranged on the turntable 2 and is drivably connected to the wind shield 7 so as to drive the wind shield 7 to move. The signal acquisition module 9 is used to convert the speed signal of the impeller 4 into a voltage signal. The control system 10 is connected to the signal acquisition module 9 to receive the voltage signal generated by the signal acquisition module 9. The control system 10 is connected to the first driving member 8. When the voltage signal received by the control system 10 exceeds a preset value, the control system 10 controls the first driving member 8 to drive the wind shield 7 to move.

[0053] The windshield 7 is used to block at least a portion of the air inlet of the air duct 3. It can be understood that the windshield 7 can block a portion of the air inlet of the air duct 3, or can block the entire air inlet of the windshield 7.

[0054] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the control system 10 is a PLC, the mounting base 1 is used to be installed on the nacelle of the wind turbine generator set, the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 along a first axis extending in the vertical direction, the air duct 3 is extended in the horizontal direction, and the impeller 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the air duct 3 through the impeller frame 6.

[0055] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the wind entering the air inlet of the air duct 3 drives the impeller 4 to rotate, and there is a certain linear relationship between the wind speed and the rotational speed of the impeller 4, based on which the wind speed can be inferred. The signal acquisition module 9 converts the rotational speed signal of the impeller 4 into a voltage signal, and there is a certain linear relationship between the voltage signal and the rotational speed signal of the impeller 4, based on which the rotational speed can be inferred.

[0056] During use of the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the air inlet of the air duct 3 is aligned with the wind direction. When the voltage signal of the signal acquisition module 9 exceeds the preset value, it indicates that the rotation speed of the impeller 4 also exceeds the rated rotation speed, that is, the wind speed exceeds the wind speed that the impeller 4 can withstand for safe operation. At this time, the control system 10 will control the first driving member 8 to drive the wind shield 7 to move, so that the wind shield 7 blocks the air inlet of the air duct 3 to reduce the amount of air entering the air inlet of the air duct 3, thereby avoiding the risk of the impeller 4 malfunctioning due to the excessive rotation speed, and protecting the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100. In addition, it is also beneficial to reduce the cost of repairing the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100, and the cost of use is relatively low.

[0057] Therefore, the wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of the wind turbine generator system according to the embodiment of the present invention not only has the function of monitoring wind speed, but also has an overload self-protection function, has more functions and lower use cost.

[0058] Optionally, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a shell 5 , which is arranged on the turntable 2 , and the air duct 3 passes through the shell 5 in the horizontal direction, and the air inlet and air outlet of the air duct 3 are both located in the shell 5 .

[0059] In some embodiments, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of the present invention further includes a wind vane 11 and an angle measuring instrument 12. The wind vane 11 is disposed on the turntable 2, and its direction is the same as the direction of the air inlet of the air duct 3. The angle measuring instrument 12 is disposed on the turntable 2 to measure the rotation angle of the turntable 2.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, it is understandable that when the wind blows toward the wind vane 11, the wind vane 11 will always point in the wind direction. Since the direction of the wind vane 11 is the same as the direction of the air inlet of the air duct 3, the air inlet of the air duct 3 can always be set in the wind direction under the action of the wind vane 11, so that wind can enter the air duct 3. When the wind vane 11 rotates under the action of the wind, the wind vane 11 will drive the turntable 2 to rotate. The rotation angle measuring instrument 12 provided on the turntable 2 can measure the rotation angle of the turntable 2, thereby measuring the wind direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the wind vane 11 includes a needle 1101, a rod 1102, and a V-shaped plate 1103, which are sequentially connected. The opening of the V-shaped plate 1103 is arranged away from the needle 1101. The V-shaped plate 1103 includes a first wing 11031 and a second wing 11032. The first wing 11031 and the second wing 11032 are both rotatably connected to the rod 1102. The first wing 11031 and the second wing 11032 can move relative to each other under the influence of wind to change the angle of the V-shaped plate 1103. A first conductor 1104 is provided on first wing plate 11031, and a second conductor 1105, opposing first conductor 1104, is provided on second wing plate 11032. First conductor 1104 and second conductor 1105 are each connected to control system 10. When the angle between V-shaped plate 1103 is less than a predetermined angle, first conductor 1104 and second conductor 1105 come into contact, and control system 10 controls first drive member 8 to move windshield 7. Wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 also includes a return spring 1106, located within V-shaped plate 1103. The return spring 1106's ends are connected to first wing plate 11031 and second wing plate 11032, respectively.

[0062] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first wing 11031 is hinged to the pole 1102, and the second wing 11032 is hinged to the pole 1102. When wind blows over the outer surfaces of the first and second wing plates 11031, 11032, they are subjected to wind pressure and rotate and move closer to each other, squeezing the spring to reduce the angle between the V-shaped plate 1103. When the wind speed exceeds the rated speed of the impeller 4, the first and second wing plates 11031, 11032 move until the angle between the V-shaped plate 1103 is less than the preset angle, and the first conductor 1104 and the second conductor 1105 come into contact and energize. At this point, the control system 10 receives a signal indicating that the circuit between the first and second conductors 1104, 1105 is conducting, determines that the wind speed is too high, and controls the first drive member 8 to drive the windshield 7 to block the air inlet of the air duct 3. In addition, when the signal acquisition module 9 fails, the control system 10 can determine the excessive wind speed signal based on the connection status of the first conductor 1104 and the second conductor 1105.

[0063] Therefore, the wind shield 7 blocking the air inlet of the air duct 3 can not only transmit a voltage signal to the control system 10 through the signal acquisition module 9, but also determine whether the wind speed is too high through the conduction of the first conductor 1104 and the second conductor 1105, so as to control the wind shield 7 to block the air inlet of the air duct 3, forming a dual protection effect, which is beneficial to improving the working reliability of the wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of the wind turbine set embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] When the wind speed is normal, the wind force on first wing 11031 and second wing 11032 decreases, and first wing 11031 and second wing 11032 move away from each other under the action of return spring 1106, separating first conductor 1104 and second conductor 1105. At this point, control system 10 receives a disconnection signal between first conductor 1104 and second conductor 1105, and controls first drive member 8 to drive windshield 7 away from the air inlet of air duct 3, allowing air to enter the air inlet of air duct 3 and causing impeller 4 to resume operation.

[0065] Therefore, by providing the V-shaped plate 1103 and the control system 10 to automatically control the movement of the wind shield 7, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention does not require manual control and has a high degree of automation.

[0066] Optionally, the first driving member 8 is a first motor, and the first driving member 8 is connected to the windshield 7 by a gear rack transmission method.

[0067] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 for a wind turbine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first gear 17 and a first rack 18. The first gear 17 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor. The first rack 18 is movably connected to the housing 5 in the up-down direction. The upper end of the first rack 18 is connected to the lower end of the wind shield 7 by bolts. When the first motor rotates forward, the first rack 18 moves upward under the action of the first gear 17 to drive the wind shield 7 to move upward, so that the wind shield 7 can block the air inlet of the air duct 3. When the first motor rotates reversely, the first rack 18 moves downward under the action of the first gear 17 to drive the wind shield 7 to move downward, so that the wind shield 7 can be separated from the air inlet of the air duct 3.

[0068] In some embodiments, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention further includes an impeller frame 6, which is located within and connected to the air duct 3. The impeller frame 6 has a support portion 601. The signal acquisition module 9 includes a plurality of first electrodes 901 and a plurality of second electrodes 902. The plurality of first electrodes 901 are arranged on the support portion 601 at intervals along the circumference of the air duct 3. Each first electrode 901 is covered with a first dielectric layer 905. The impeller 4 has a plurality of blades 401, each of which corresponds one-to-one to a plurality of second electrodes 902. The second electrodes 902 are arranged on the corresponding blades 401 and are arranged on the end surface of the air duct 3 adjacent to the first electrode 901 in the axial direction. Each second electrode 902 is covered with a second dielectric layer 906. The first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 are formed of two dielectric materials with different electron gain and loss capacities and are arranged opposite each other in the axial direction of the air duct 3. When the impeller 4 rotates, intermittent sliding friction is generated between the first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 .

[0069] like Figures 4 to 11 As shown, the impeller frame 6 has four legs evenly distributed along the circumference of the air duct 3. A circular disc is located in the center of the impeller frame 6. One end of each of the four legs is fixedly connected to the disc, and the other ends of the four legs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 3. The impeller 4 is connected to the disc via a rotating shaft. The disc and the axis of the air duct 3 coincide. The end surface of the disc on its axis closest to the impeller 4 serves as a support portion 601. The first electrodes 901 are fan-shaped, and multiple first electrodes 901 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the disc.

[0070] Specifically, the first electrode 901 is made of copper, the first dielectric layer 905 is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) which is easy to obtain electrons, the second electrode 902 is made of aluminum, and the second dielectric layer 906 is made of nylon film (which is easy to lose electrons). The first electrode 901 is fixed, and the blade 401 drives the second electrode 902 to rotate during the rotation process. The second electrode 902 drives the second dielectric layer 906 to generate intermittent sliding friction with the first dielectric layer 905 on the first electrode 901. Figure 8 As shown, when the first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 are in full contact, the first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 are respectively positively charged and negatively charged due to the different electron gain and loss abilities of the two materials; Figure 9 As shown, the impeller 4 continues to rotate, the first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 begin to separate, and due to electrostatic induction, the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 exhibit different electrical properties, forming a voltage; Figure 10 As shown, the impeller 4 continues to rotate, the first dielectric layer 905 and the second dielectric layer 906 are completely separated, and the induced voltage between the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 reaches a maximum; Figure 11 As shown, the impeller 4 continues to rotate, the first dielectric layer 905 contacts the next second dielectric layer 906, and the induced voltage between the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 gradually decreases and finally returns to Figure 8 In the above process, since the induced charges of the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 change periodically, the rotation speed of the impeller 4 can be clearly recorded, thereby corresponding to its wind speed.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second electrode 902 includes a fixed portion and an overhanging portion, the fixed portion is connected to the blade 401 , the overhanging portion is overhanging in a direction toward the first electrode 901 , and the second dielectric layer 906 is disposed on the overhanging portion.

[0072] The wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of a wind turbine generator set in an embodiment of the present invention sets the second electrode 902 as a fixed part connected to the blade 401, and sets the second dielectric layer 906 on the overhanging part to perform sliding friction with the first dielectric layer 905, so that the junction of the second electrode 902 is simple and the arrangement is convenient, which facilitates the sliding friction between the second dielectric layer 906 and the first dielectric layer 905.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 are respectively connected to the control system 10 , so that the control system 10 obtains the voltage between the first electrode 901 and the second electrode 902 .

[0074] For example, the first electrode 901 is electrically connected to the control system 10 via a wire, and the second electrode 902 is connected to the control system 10 via a conductive ring, thereby facilitating the connection between the second electrode 902 and the control system 10 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a camera 13, which is arranged on the turntable 2. The control system 10 is connected to the camera 13 to control the start and stop of the camera 13. The camera 13 is used to monitor the cabin of the wind turbine.

[0076] For example, Figure 1 As shown, camera 13 is mounted on housing 5. Camera 13 is a 360-degree high-definition camera. Control system 10 controls camera 13 to capture images of the nacelle inspection area at regular intervals and transmits the images to a terminal via a data cable, thereby facilitating monitoring of the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] In some embodiments, the wind turbine wind speed and direction monitoring device 100 also includes a protective cover 14 and a second driving member 15. The protective cover 14 is movably covered on the camera 13. The second driving member 15 is connected to the protective cover 14. The second driving member 15 is used to drive the protective cover 14 to move. The control system 10 is connected to the second driving member 17 to control the movement of the protective cover 14.

[0078] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the upper end of the camera 13 is provided with a top plate, which is fixedly connected to the housing 5. The protective cover 14 is located below the top plate, and the opening of the protective cover 14 is stopped on the top plate. The second driving member 15 is a second motor, which is connected to the protective cover 14 through a second gear 19 and a second rack 20. The second gear 19 is mounted on the output shaft of the second motor, and the second rack 20 is arranged in the up and down direction. When the control system 10 controls the second motor to rotate forward, the second gear 19 drives the second rack 20 to move downward, and the second rack 20 drives the protective cover 14 to move downward and separate from the camera 13. The control system 10 controls the camera 13 to shoot. When the shooting is completed, the control system 10 controls the second motor to reverse to reset the protective cover 14. Therefore, the provision of the protective cover 14 is conducive to protecting the camera 14 and extending its service life.
