[0053] The application of the wind power yawing current collecting ring perfectly solves the problems of cable winding and large resistance when the traditional wind turbine faces the wind, the wind turbine can rotate without restriction, thereby greatly prolonging the service life of the wind turbine, reducing the use of twisted cable and reducing the power generation cost, and the development of the main structure technology of the wind power current collecting ring greatly promotes the application of the wind power industry.
[0054] However, due to the harsh working environment of the current collecting ring, it is easily affected by internal heating and external humid environment, resulting in reduced working reliability and affecting the service life. In order to ensure the normal work of the current collecting ring, many kinds of wind power current collecting rings have heat dissipation systems and drying systems, etc. These complex protection systems reduce the reliability of the device operation and may be accompanied by current sharing problems.
[0055] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a yawing current collecting ring, which comprises:
[0056] A rack 100;
[0057] A rotating ring group 200 rotatably connected to the rack 100;
[0058] The fixed ring set 300 is arranged on the frame 100, is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200, and is in sliding contact with the rotating ring set 200 to electrically connect the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300.
[0059] The shielding structure 400 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200 and is arranged on the side of the fixed ring set 300 away from the ground.
[0060] Compared with the prior art, in the technical solution, the yaw current collecting ring comprises the frame 100, the rotating ring set 200 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, and the fixed ring set 300 is fixedly arranged on the frame 100 and sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200. In actual use, the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 are respectively connected to two power transmission lines, and the electrical signal can be transmitted between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 through the sliding contact between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300, so that the transmission of the electrical signal on the two power transmission lines is realized. In addition, the yaw current collecting ring is provided with the shielding structure 400, which is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200 and located on the side of the fixed ring set 300 away from the ground. The shielding structure 400 can cover the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 below. In actual use, the carbon brushes in the fixed ring set 300 are uniformly and closely arranged, which greatly increases the effective contact area of the brush head and the conductive ring, improves the power generation efficiency, and eliminates the tedious maintenance work. On the one hand, the shielding structure 400 can block rainwater from falling into the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 below, ensuring the dryness of the two ring sets and reducing the possibility of corrosion due to dampness. On the other hand, there is a gap between the annular parts of every two adjacent shielding structures 400, which facilitates the falling of carbon brush powder and prevents the accumulation of too much carbon brush dust from causing short circuit and fire of the current collecting ring. The shielding structure 400 can also block sunlight from directly shining on the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300, preventing the temperature rise of the two ring sets due to exposure to the sun, thereby delaying the aging of the two ring sets and improving the use reliability and service life of the yaw current collecting ring.
[0061] Specifically, as Figures 1-7The yaw current collecting ring comprises a rack 100, which is fixed to a fan structure in actual application to carry other functional components; the rack 100 is provided with a rotating ring set 200 and a fixed ring set 300; the rotating ring set 200 is rotatably connected to the rack 100, which is arranged in a vertical direction and rotates along a rotation axis perpendicular to the ground in the embodiment; the fixed ring set 300 is fixedly connected to the rack 100 and is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200, and the fixed ring set 300 is in sliding contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200; the structure of the sliding contact between the fixed ring set 300 and the rotating ring set 200 can be a conductive material such as copper or graphite to realize the electrical connection between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300; in actual use, the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 can be respectively connected to two cables, and the electrical connection between the two cables can be realized through the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 due to the electrical connection between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300; in addition, the stability of the electrical connection between the two cables can be ensured during the rotation of the rotating ring set 200 due to the contact between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300, and the rotation of the other cable will not be affected when one of the cables is twisted, so that the rotation of the two cables at any angle can be realized. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of the environment on the yaw current collecting ring, the yaw current collecting ring is also provided with a shielding structure 400, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 the shielding structure 400 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring set 200 and is located on the side of the fixed ring set 300 away from the ground; in the embodiment, the shielding structure 400 can be an annular structure, such as Figure 3 the outer edge of the shielding structure 400 can be larger than the outer diameter of the fixed ring set 300, so that the connection area of the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 can be covered by the shielding structure 400. In actual application, when the yaw current collecting ring encounters rainy weather, the fixed ring set 300 is shielded by the shielding structure 400, and rainwater will drip to the top of the shielding structure 400, and the fixed ring set 300 and the rotating ring set 200 will not be wetted by rainwater, which ensures the dryness of the surfaces of the two ring sets, thereby delaying the corrosion of the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 caused by the humid environment, and prolonging the service life of the yaw current collecting ring; in addition, when the yaw current collecting ring encounters high-temperature exposure weather, the shielding structure 400 can block the direct sunlight on the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300, which is conducive to reducing the surface temperature of the two ring sets, thereby improving the use reliability of the yaw current collecting ring.
[0062] Further, the rotating ring set 200 comprises:
[0063] a central pipe 210 rotatably connected to the rack 100;
[0064] The slip ring 220 is a ring structure component. The slip ring 220 is sleeved on the outside of the central tube 210, and multiple slip rings are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the central tube 210.
[0065] Each slip ring 220 corresponds to a fixed ring group 300, and a shielding structure 400 is provided between every two adjacent slip rings 220.
[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to achieve synchronous transmission of multiple electrical signals, in this embodiment, the rotating ring assembly 200 includes a central tube 210, which can extend vertically and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. A slip ring 220 structure is provided on the central tube 210. The slip ring 220 is an annular structure and is sleeved on the central tube 210. Multiple slip rings 220 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the central tube 210. In order to achieve the transmission of electrical signals, the slip ring 220 can be made of conductive metals such as copper. By connecting multiple sets of cables to multiple slip rings 220 one by one, the synchronous transmission of multiple sets of electrical signals is achieved, and the transmission efficiency is improved. In addition, to facilitate the transmission of electrical signals, the rotating ring assembly 200 may be provided with conductive rods. The conductive rods may be located inside the slip ring 220 and extend upward in the vertical direction. Multiple conductive rods may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the slip ring 220, with each conductive rod corresponding to each slip ring 220. The top of the conductive rod may be connected to a cable through a conductive terminal, so that the electrical signal of the cable may be transmitted to the slip ring 220 through the conductive rod. To improve the insulation performance between the slip rings 220 and ensure the stability of power transmission between them, the central tube 210 can be made of insulating material. In this embodiment, the central tube 210 is made of epoxy resin, and the central tube 210, the conductive rod, and the slip rings 220 can be integrally molded by injection molding. The conductive rod can be encased in the central tube 210, and the inner wall and side wall of the slip rings 220 can also be embedded in the outside of the central tube 210. This improves the insulation performance between the conductive rods and the insulation capability between the conductive rings, thereby ensuring the relative independence of the rotating ring assembly 200 for multi-channel electrical signal transmission and improving the reliability of the yaw collector ring. In addition, to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring assembly 200, in this embodiment, the top of the rotating ring assembly 200 is also provided with a fork and a rocker arm. The fork can be a long strip structure that can be embedded in the top of the central tube 210 and extends horizontally. The rocker arm can be a U-shaped rod with its two ends connected to the two ends of the fork. The middle area of the rocker arm can be connected to the drive mechanism through a buckle or the like. In this way, when the drive mechanism rotates, it can drive the fork to move through the rocker arm, and the fork can drive the central tube 210 to move, thereby realizing the rotation of the entire rotating ring assembly 200.
[0067] Furthermore, the fixed ring assembly 300 includes:
[0068] brush holder 310 is arranged on the frame 100;
[0069] the brush 320 is arranged on the brush holder 310 and extends towards the slip ring 220 to abut the outer circumferential wall of the slip ring 220.
[0070] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the fixed ring set 300 and the rotating ring set 200, in the embodiment, the fixed ring set 300 comprises a brush holder 310, which can be a ring-shaped structure, the brush holder 310 is fixedly connected to the frame 100 and is sleeved on the center tube 210 and is arranged opposite to the slip ring 220. The brush 320 is arranged on the brush holder 310, the brush 320 is arranged on the inner wall of the brush holder 310 facing the slip ring 220 and extends towards the slip ring 220 and abuts the outer circumferential wall of the slip ring 220. The brush 320 is made of conductive material such as copper or graphite, so that the power transmission between the rotating ring set 200 and the fixed ring set 300 can be realized through the connection between the brush 320 and the slip ring 220. In order to realize multi-path power transmission, a plurality of brush holders 310 can be sleeved on the center tube 210, and each brush holder 310 corresponds to each slip ring 220, and the multi-path power transmission is realized through the connection between the brush 320 on each brush holder 310 and each slip ring 220.
[0071] Further, the shielding structure 400 comprises:
[0072] a connecting portion, which is sleeved on the center tube 210,
[0073] a ring-shaped portion, which is arranged on the connecting portion and extends along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion;
[0074] The connecting portion extends along the axial direction of the center tube 210 and forms a gap fit with the end surface of the brush holder 310 facing the slip ring 220, and the outer diameters of the ring-shaped portions of every two adjacent shielding structures 400 are different. Specifically, as Figure 2In order to further improve the electrical insulation performance between the various transmission, in the embodiment, the shielding structure 400 comprises a connecting portion and a ring portion, wherein the connecting portion can be a cylindrical structure, the connecting portion is sleeved on the central pipe 210, the ring portion is an annular structure, the ring portion is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion and surrounds the circumference of the connecting portion, the connecting portion and the ring portion jointly form an umbrella-shaped structure, and a plurality of shielding structures 400 are arranged on the central pipe 210 in a spaced manner, and the plurality of shielding structures 400 and the plurality of slip rings 220 can be arranged in an alternating manner along the axial direction of the central pipe 210, so that each slip ring 220 can be shielded by the shielding structure 400 arranged above, thereby ensuring the protection effect of the shielding structure 400 on the slip ring 220 and the fixed ring set 300. On the other hand, the shielding structure 400 can further block the two adjacent slip rings 220, thereby increasing the creepage distance between the two adjacent slip rings 220, thereby improving the insulation performance. In addition, as shown in Figure 3 In the embodiment, the connecting portion can extend along the axial direction of the central pipe 210, and one end extends upward to a position close to the upper slip ring 220, at this time, the outer wall of the connecting portion and the inner wall of the brush holder 310 on the side facing the slip ring 220 form a gap fit, when the rotating ring set 200 rotates, due to the friction between the slip ring 220 and the brush 320, the surface of the slip ring 220 or the brush 320 will be worn and fall off conductive debris, the falling debris can be received by the outer wall of the connecting portion and guided to the outside away from the brush holder 310 through the ring portion and then discharged, that is, through the gap fit, the discharge of the conductive debris can be conveniently realized, thereby preventing the slip ring 220 between the slip ring 220 of the yaw current collector from being short-circuited, and improving the use reliability of the yaw current collector. In order to further improve the working reliability of the yaw current collector, the ring portions of adjacent shielding structures 400 can be provided with different outer diameters, in the embodiment, the ring portions of the shielding structures 400 have two outer diameter specifications, one large and one small, and the two types of shielding structures 400 are arranged in an alternating manner. In this way, the shielding structure 400 with a small size on the lower side can be shielded by the shielding structure 400 with a large size on the upper side, thereby reducing the amount of dirt attached to the surface, thereby reducing the occurrence of pollution flashover, in addition, in this way, the creepage distance between the two adjacent shielding structures 400 can be increased, thereby improving the insulation performance of the shielding structure 400.
[0075] Further, the brush holder 310 comprises:
[0076] The sleeve 311 is sleeved outside the slip ring 220, and the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve 311 is provided with a mounting hole, and the brush 320 is embedded in the mounting hole;
[0077] The gland 312 is detachably connected to the outer circumference of the sleeve 311 to close or open the mounting hole;
[0078] The hanging ear 313 is arranged on the sleeve 311 to connect the brush holder 310 and the frame 100.
[0079] Specifically, as Figure 4 In order to improve the connection strength between the brush holder 310 and the brush 320, in the embodiment, the brush holder 310 comprises a sleeve 311 which can be sleeved on the outside of the slip ring 220. The outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 311 is provided with a mounting hole. The brush 320 can be embedded in the mounting hole and extend to the outside of the inner wall of the sleeve 311 and abut against the slip ring 220. Thus, when the slip ring 220 rotates, the brush 320 is subjected to the circumferential friction force provided by the slip ring 220. At this time, the hole wall of the mounting hole can support the side wall of the brush 320, thereby improving the connection reliability between the brush holder 310 and the brush 320. In addition, the sleeve 311 is further provided with a gland 312 which can be arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 311. The mounting hole can be closed by the gland 312, thereby preventing the brush 320 from falling out of the mounting hole. In addition, the gland 312 can also provide support to the brush 320 in the direction of the slip ring 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the brush 320 and the slip ring 220. In order to facilitate maintenance, the gland 312 and the sleeve 311 can be detachably connected. In the embodiment, the gland 312 is connected with the sleeve 311 by means of bolt connection. Thus, when maintenance is needed, the brush 320 can be conveniently taken out of the mounting hole after the gland 312 is removed, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance. In addition, in order to facilitate the connection between the brush holder 310 and the frame 100, the brush holder 310 further comprises a hanging ear 313 which can be arranged at the bottom of the sleeve 311 to provide support for the sleeve 311 from bottom to top. The hanging ear 313 extends away from the sleeve 311 and can be connected to the frame 100 by means of bolt connection, clamping or the like, thereby achieving the installation of the sleeve 311 on the frame 100. In addition, a plurality of hanging ears 313 can be arranged at intervals along the periphery of the sleeve 311, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the brush holder 310 and the frame 100.
[0080] Further, a plurality of mounting holes are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 311; and / or a plurality of mounting holes are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the sleeve 311. In order to prolong the service life of the yaw collector ring, as Figure 4Multiple mounting holes can be spaced out along the circumference or axial direction of the sleeve 311. In this embodiment, multiple mounting holes are equally spaced along the circumference of the sleeve 311, and multiple layers are staggered along the axial direction of the sleeve 311. Each mounting hole corresponds to the installation of one brush 320. This arrangement increases the conductive area between the rotating ring assembly 200 and the fixed ring assembly 300. The current on the slip ring 220 can be distributed and transmitted through multiple brushes 320, thereby reducing the overcurrent of a single brush 320 and effectively reducing the heat generated by a single brush 320. This improves transmission performance and reduces the impact of heat on the lifespan of the brush 320, thus improving its operational reliability. In addition, since the brushes 320 are spaced apart, the heat inside the brushes 320 can also be dissipated through the gaps, which is beneficial for heat dissipation.
[0081] Furthermore, the brush 320 includes:
[0082] Elastic element 321 is provided on brush holder 310;
[0083] The brush head 322 is located on the elastic element 321, which elastically abuts the brush head 322 against the slip ring 220.
[0084] Specifically, to ensure the stability of the connection between the brush 320 and the slip ring 220, the brush 320 includes an elastic element 321 and a brush head 322. The elastic element 321 can be a common cylindrical compression spring, and the brush head 322 can be a cylindrical body made of conductive materials such as graphite. One end of the elastic element 321 can be connected to the brush holder 310, and the other end can be connected to the brush head 322, elastically abutting the brush head 322 against the slip ring 220. The elastic element 321 can buffer the brush head 322 when it is impacted, preventing damage and improving its reliability.
