Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power equipment, and particularly to a tandem dual-rotor wind turbine and its main frame. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the wind power industry, high-power wind turbines with high towers and long blades have become the mainstream of the industry. Limited by key materials and technologies, the large-scale development of the above-mentioned wind turbines will be severely restricted. In contrast, due to the design of its dual rotors, the tandem dual-rotor wind turbine can achieve cascade utilization of wind energy in practical applications, that is, the same wind power can be utilized for power generation multiple times. Compared with the linear growth of the blade length of traditional single-rotor wind turbines with the increase of the unit capacity, under the premise of the same power generation, the tandem dual-rotor wind turbine does not require a long blade length. On the one hand, it can reduce the cost of the wind turbine, and on the other hand, it can avoid occupying a large amount of space and site, and has received more attention in the wind turbine market.

[0003] To improve the wind energy capture efficiency of the tandem dual-rotor wind turbine, the two impellers need to be able to operate independently, which requires two sets of power generation equipment for the device, and the two impellers need to operate independently, making the span of the main drive system longer and the structure more complex. To meet the assembly and support requirements of the main drive system, yaw bearing, yaw drive, etc., the main frame is longer than that of the traditional single-rotor wind turbine main frame. And due to the environment where the wind turbine is located and the power generation requirements of the equipment, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit, the main frame needs to have sufficient stiffness and strength.

[0004] The main frame of the existing single-rotor wind turbine adopts a form of front casting and rear welding. The cast front frame bears most of the loads of the unit, and the welded rear frame supports components such as generators and electrical cabinets. The overall length of the main frame is relatively short and cannot be applied to the tandem dual-rotor wind turbine. If simply borrowing the structure form of the traditional single-rotor wind turbine main frame and increasing the overall length and thickness of the frame to meet the requirements of the dual-rotor unit for the stiffness and strength of the main frame, it will cause a sharp increase in the weight and manufacturing cost of the main frame, thus making the dual-rotor unit lose its economic efficiency. Therefore, the main frame structure in the prior art cannot meet the assembly and support requirements of the main drive system, yaw bearing, yaw drive, etc. of the tandem dual-rotor wind turbine, and has sufficient stiffness and strength under the condition of appropriate weight to ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit.
