Abstract
Description
A method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for determining damage to pitch bearing raceways. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of damage measurement, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for determining damage to pitch bearing races. Background Technology
[0002] In wind turbine generators, independent pitch technology adjusts the blade pitch angle to maximize wind energy capture and control power output. Pitch bearings are a crucial component for achieving this function, typically bolted between the blades and hub, allowing the blades to rotate around the axis. However, due to the complex alternating loads they bear, they are prone to fatigue fracture failure of the pitch bearing race bolt holes, resulting in significant economic losses for wind turbine generators. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive method for calculating fatigue damage to the bolt holes of pitch bearing races to predict and prevent such problems.
[0003] In existing technologies, the load spectrum is generally processed using the rainflow technique to transform it into a load Markov matrix. This process loses its correspondence with the actual working conditions and is not conducive to load reduction optimization for specific working conditions. In addition, when obtaining the load-response relationship, only the blade structure directly connected to the pitch bearing is considered, without considering the damage contribution caused by the blade in the surrounding load-bearing structure. As a result, the calculated damage results contain errors. Summary of the Invention

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart of a method for determining damage to pitch bearing races according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include:
[0050] S101: After applying preload to the bolts at the blade root and hub side of each blade, apply an overturning moment to each blade individually to obtain stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment.
[0051] The execution entity in this embodiment is a processor. In this embodiment, a finite element model of the blade-bearing-hub is established using finite element analysis software. After applying preload to the blade root and hub-side bolts of each blade, an overturning moment is applied individually to each blade. The overturning moment includes two sets of mutually perpendicular moments, each set consisting of two positive and two negative moments, and the blade is perpendicular to the plane containing the overturning moment. For ease of understanding, this embodiment provides examples of the stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment:
[0052] Set the overturning moment to positive or negative M. x and positive and negative M y Four overturning moments were obtained, and these moments were divided into four groups, each acting on one blade individually. In a typical wind turbine component with three blades, 12 sets of data were obtained. Adding data where no overturning moment acted on any blade, a total of 13 sets of data were obtained. The stress response data corresponding to these 13 sets of data were then obtained. It should be noted that the stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment obtained in this embodiment are the data after removing bolt preload; that is, the data corresponding to each overturning moment and stress response.
[0053] This embodiment does not limit the specific calculation method for extracting stress response data corresponding to the overturning moment from the finite element model, as long as representative stress response data corresponding to the overturning moment can be extracted. For example, the maximum principal stress corresponding to the overturning moment can be used as the stress response data, or the circumferential stress component corresponding to the overturning moment can be used as the stress response data. In this embodiment, the circumferential stress component is one of the six stress state components pointing towards the center of the blade.
[0054] Furthermore, to make the results of pitch bearing ring damage more conservative, after applying preload to the bolts at the blade root and hub side of each blade, an overturning moment is applied individually to each blade to obtain stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment. This can include:
[0055] After applying preload to the bolts at the blade root and hub side of each blade, an overturning moment is applied separately, and the circumferential stress components in the cylindrical coordinate system of each result are selected as the stress response data for each.
[0056] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the circumferential stress component is one of the six stress state components pointing towards the center of the blade. Using the circumferential stress component as the data for each stress response results in a larger value for the pitch bearing race, making the results more conservative.
[0057] S102: Calculate the stress timing data based on the various stress response data and the acquired final overturning moment timing signal channel data.
[0058] In this embodiment, the final overturning moment timing signal channel data is the load that needs to be calculated at the same time, namely the overturning moment mentioned above. One overturning moment corresponds to one load.
[0059] Furthermore, in order to separate the overturning moment timing signal channel data from the stress response data and add the bolt preload torque, the above calculation based on each stress response data and the acquired final overturning moment timing signal channel data to obtain stress timing data may include the following steps. Please refer to Figure 2 for details. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the calculation of stress timing data in a method for determining damage to pitch bearing races provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0060] S201: Based on the acquired load timing sequence, extract the overturning moment timing signal channel data for each blade.
[0061] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the load timing is maintained as a multiple of the load corresponding to the overturning moment.
[0062] S202: Perform condition segmentation processing on the overturning moment timing signal channel data to obtain comprehensive overturning moment timing signal channel data.
[0063] In this embodiment, the overturning moment timing signal channel data is segmented according to the above-mentioned overturning moment operating conditions.
[0064] S203: Add a bolt preload channel to the overturning moment in the integrated overturning moment timing signal channel data, as the final overturning moment timing signal channel data.
[0065] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the value of the matrix of the preload channel can be 1, and the dimension of the matrix is consistent with the dimension of the load timing.
[0066] S204: Calculate the stress timing data based on the stress response data and the final overturning moment timing signal channel data.
[0067] Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy of the calculated stress time series data, the stress time series data obtained by calculating based on the stress response data and the final overturning moment time series signal channel data may include:
[0068] By using the linear assumption and the quasi-static superposition principle, stress response data and final overturning moment time-series signal channel data are calculated to obtain stress time-series data.
[0069] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the stress response data and the final overturning moment time series signal channel data are multiplied by matrix multiplication using the linear assumption and the quasi-static superposition principle to obtain the stress time series data.
[0070] S103: Obtain the duration distribution data corresponding to the final overturning moment timing signal channel.
[0071] In this embodiment, the duration distribution data corresponding to the final overturning moment timing signal channel is obtained. The purpose is to read the number of times the overturning moment timing signal channel data of a single working condition occurs, and obtain the duration distribution data corresponding to the final overturning moment timing signal channel.
[0072] S104: Obtain the stress amplitude, average stress, and number of occurrences of the bearing ring bolt holes corresponding to the stress time series data, and use them as the bearing ring extraction data.
[0073] In this embodiment, the stress amplitude, average stress, and number of occurrences corresponding to the stress timing data are obtained from the bolt holes of each bearing race.
[0074] Furthermore, to further improve the accuracy of the acquired bearing ring extraction data, before using the stress amplitude, average stress, and occurrence frequency of the bearing ring bolt holes corresponding to the aforementioned stress time series data as the bearing ring extraction data, the following may also be included:
[0075] The stress time series data is corrected to obtain corrected stress time series data.
[0076] Accordingly, obtaining the stress amplitude, average stress, and occurrence frequency of the bearing race bolt holes corresponding to the stress time series data, as the bearing race extraction data, may include:
[0077] Obtain the stress amplitude, average stress, and occurrence frequency of the bearing race bolt holes corresponding to the corrected stress time series data, and use them as the bearing race extraction data.
[0078] This embodiment does not limit the specific correction method for the stress time series data, as long as it can appropriately correct the stress time series data to obtain corrected stress time series data. For example, Goodman correction, Gerber correction, or Soderberg correction can be used to correct the stress time series data. To make the correction result more conservative, this embodiment may use Goodman correction to correct the stress time series data.
[0079] S105: The final damage data is obtained by calculating based on the data extracted from the bearing rings, the SN curve, and the time distribution data.
[0080] In this embodiment, the SN curve represents the relationship between stress and the number of cycles it can withstand. This embodiment extracts data from the bearing race, the SN curve, and the duration distribution data, and calculates the final damage data using Miner's linear cumulative rule. It should be noted that this embodiment calculates all bolt holes on the bearing race, preventing omissions and inaccurate results caused by calculating only a single hot spot.
[0081] Furthermore, to improve the accuracy of the final damage data obtained from calculations using the SN curve, the following steps may be included before calculating the final damage data based on the data extracted from the bearing rings, the SN curve, and the time distribution data:
[0082] The SN curve is corrected using input material data and correction information data.
[0083] It should be noted that the input material data in this embodiment includes tensile strength and yield strength, while the correction information data includes whether it is a test value, whether stress concentration exists, loading method, surface roughness, quality grade, testing method, dimensions and thickness, and material safety factor. The input material data and correction information data are the parameter information of the bearing ring itself.
[0084] Furthermore, to ensure the determination of pitch bearing ring damage and improve data usability, the calculations based on the extracted bearing ring data, SN curves, and time distribution data to obtain the final damage data may include the following steps:
[0085] Step S1: Calculate the damage data for each working condition based on the data extracted from the bearing rings and the SN curve.
[0086] Step S2: Accumulate and calculate the damage data for the entire cycle based on the damage data and duration distribution data under each working condition.
[0087] Step S3: Select the largest damage value from the damage data of the entire cycle as the final damage data.
[0088] The method for determining pitch bearing ring damage according to the embodiments of the present invention includes: applying preload to the bolts at the blade root and hub side of each blade; applying an overturning moment to each blade individually to obtain stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment; calculating stress time-series data based on the stress response data and the acquired final overturning moment time-series signal channel data, wherein the final overturning moment time-series signal channel data represents the loads to be calculated at the same time; acquiring the duration distribution data corresponding to the final overturning moment time-series signal channel data; acquiring the stress amplitude, average stress, and occurrence frequency of the bearing ring bolt holes corresponding to the stress time-series data as bearing ring extraction data; and calculating the final damage data based on the bearing ring extraction data, the SN curve, and the duration distribution data, wherein the SN curve is the relationship curve between stress and the number of withstandable cycles. This invention applies a preload to the bolts at the blade root and hub side of each blade, then applies an overturning moment to each blade individually, obtaining stress response data corresponding to each overturning moment. Based on this stress response data and the acquired final overturning moment timing signal channel data, stress timing data is calculated, incorporating the damage contribution caused by the blade in the surrounding load-bearing structure. This improves the accuracy of the calculation results and accurately captures damage contributions under all operating conditions, facilitating load reduction optimization for specific conditions. This also improves the accuracy and efficiency of the fatigue damage calculation method for pitch bearing race bolt holes. Furthermore, by utilizing circumferential stress components as individual stress response data, this invention enables a more conservative assessment of pitch bearing ring damage. By segmenting the overturning moment time-series signal channel data according to operating conditions and incorporating a bolt preload channel, and employing linear assumptions and quasi-static superposition principles to calculate the stress response data and the final overturning moment time-series signal channel data, the accuracy of the calculated stress time-series data is ensured. By correcting the stress time-series data and using input material data and correction information to modify the SN curve, the accuracy of the acquired bearing ring data and the final damage data is improved. Selecting the maximum damage value from the entire cycle of damage data as the final damage data enhances the data's practicality.
[0089] To make the present invention easier to understand, the above-mentioned method for determining the damage of pitch bearing rings may specifically include the following steps:
[0090] Step S10: Using commercial finite element analysis software, establish an overall finite element model of the blade-bearing-hub. After applying bolt preload, apply M separately to blade roots 1, 2, and 3. x =±10000kNm, M y = ±10000kNm, a total of 13 operating conditions. Taking blade 1 at M xThe maximum circumferential stress response under working conditions is used as the evaluation criterion, and stress response data for one node is obtained for each bolt hole.
[0091] Step S11: Using scientific computing software, process the input load timing sequence, extract the overturning moment timing signal channel data of each blade, separate the positive and negative signals, segment according to the working conditions, and increase the preload torque.
[0092] Step S12: Read the duration distribution data corresponding to the overturning moment timing signal channel data;
[0093] Step S13: Based on the linear assumption and the quasi-static superposition principle, matrix multiplication is performed on the load-stress response data of the 13 channels obtained in step S10 and the load time series data obtained in step S11 to calculate the stress time series data.
[0094] Step S14: Correct the stress time series data obtained in step S13 using Goodman correction.
[0095] Step S15: The corrected stress time series data is counted according to the working conditions using the rain flow counting method to obtain the stress amplitude, mean value and occurrence number of each extracted position of the bearing ring bolt hole.
[0096] Step S16: Correct the SN curve using the input material data and correction information data. The input material data includes tensile strength (MPa) and yield strength (MPa). The correction information data input includes: whether it is a test value, whether there is stress concentration, loading mode, surface roughness, quality grade, testing method, size and thickness, and material safety factor.
[0097] Step S17: The stress amplitude, mean, and number of stresses obtained in step S15 are combined with the corrected SN curve obtained in step S16. According to Miner's linear accumulation rule, the damage value generated under each working condition can be obtained. Combined with the duration distribution data of each working condition input in step S12, the fatigue damage of the pitch bearing race bolt hole throughout the entire operating cycle is finally obtained.
[0098] Step S18: Output the total damage to each bolt hole of the pitch bearing race, as well as the damage value caused by each operating condition, using the maximum damage value as the bearing race damage. See Figure 3.
