Description

[0002] There are various types of torque limiters for yaw systems of wind turbines, and friction type torque limiters are widely used in yaw systems of wind turbines due to their advantages such as smooth transmission, large transmission torque, no need for additional reset action after overload protection, and small size. The friction type torque limiter for the yaw system of the wind turbine mainly transmits torque and provides overload protection through a friction coupling pair. When the load is too large, the friction coupling pair will slip, disconnecting the yaw motor output end and the gear reducer input end connected thereto, thereby providing an overload protection function. During the continuous slip protection process of the friction coupling pair, wear will also occur, resulting in a decrease in the friction coefficient and a decrease in the transmission torque capacity, thereby prematurely causing the slip phenomenon when the wind load does not reach the load that the yaw system can withstand, causing the torque limiter to fail in overload protection. In this case, if the failure of the friction type torque limiter cannot be found in time, the wind energy cannot be effectively utilized, the wind power production is reduced, and the stable operation of the yaw system is also adversely affected.

[0003] At present, there is still a lack of effective online detection method for the failure of the friction type torque limiter, and the judgment is mainly made by technical personnel according to the operating state of the yaw system, which has problems such as lag and misjudgment, thereby increasing the operation and maintenance cost and reducing the operating stability of the yaw system.

The memory 1005 can also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0050] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 The structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the fan yaw torque limiter detection device, and can include more or fewer components than the figure, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0053] The embodiment of the application provides a fan yaw torque limiter detection method, which is described with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the first embodiment of the fan yaw torque limiter detection method of the application is shown.

[0054] The fan yaw torque limiter detection method is used for real-time detection of the operating state of the friction type torque limiter of the fan yaw system.

[0055] Step S10: Obtain the output power of the yaw motor and the output speed of the friction type torque limiter.

[0056] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method of the embodiment can be a terminal device with data interaction, data processing and program running functions, such as a computer, a server, etc., or an electronic device with the same or similar functions, such as the above-mentioned fan yaw torque limiter detection device. The fan yaw torque limiter detection device (hereinafter referred to as the detection device) will be used as an example to describe the embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0057] The detection principle of the fan yaw torque limiter detection method of the embodiment is shown in Figure 3 , and Figure 3 is a detection principle diagram of the fan yaw torque limiter detection method of the present application.

[0058] It can be understood that wind energy, as an important new energy, has been vigorously developed in recent years and has great prospects and application value. In order to realize efficient utilization of wind energy, it is necessary to accurately point to the wind by using a fan yaw system. The fan yaw system mainly includes a yaw motor, a torque limiter, a gear reduction box, a yaw gear, a worm gear primary reduction, and a brake component. Among them, the yaw motor refers to a component or device for controlling the direction of a wind turbine generator, and the yaw fan drives the yaw rudder or adjusts the direction of the fan by receiving a control signal, thereby realizing accurate control of the direction of the fan and rapid response; the torque limiter is an important transmission component in the yaw system, used to connect the output end of the yaw motor and the input end of the gear reduction box. For the fan yaw system, the yaw motor first passes through a primary worm gear reduction, then connects with the gear reduction box through the friction type torque limiter, drives the yaw gear to rotate, and finally drives the fan head to rotate, realizing the function of pointing to the wind. When pointing to the wind, when the wind load is within the allowable bearing range of the yaw system, the torque limiter plays a role in transmitting torque, which can ensure the normal transmission of the yaw system; when the wind is too large and exceeds the bearing load of the yaw system, the torque limiter can automatically disconnect the yaw motor from the input shaft of the gear reduction box, playing an overload protection function, avoiding the phenomenon that the yaw system components are damaged due to excessive wind load, and improving the stability and service life of the yaw system.

[0059] It should be understood that the output power of the yaw motor can be obtained by a power analyzer, or the output voltage U and the output current I of the yaw motor can be calculated to obtain the motor output power, and the present embodiment does not limit this.

[0060] In an implementation manner, the embodiment obtains the output power of the yaw motor by calculating the output voltage U and the output current I of the yaw motor. Specifically, the step of obtaining the output power of the yaw motor and the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter comprises:

[0061] obtaining the voltage and the current of the yaw motor in real time based on the current-voltage detector;

[0062] calculating the output power of the yaw motor according to the voltage and the current of the yaw motor;

[0063] obtaining the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter based on the speed sensor.

[0064] It should be understood that the yaw motor can be started when the yaw system needs to be wind-aimed. Since the yaw motor outputs a large power when started, in order to prevent the error caused by the starting voltage, the detected voltage and current at this time are not used as the detection basis of the detection method of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter. When the yaw motor runs stably, the detection device can obtain the output voltage and the output current of the yaw motor in real time through the current-voltage detector and perform real-time calculation, so as to obtain the corresponding real-time power output value P of the yaw motor, that is, the output power of the yaw motor.

[0065] The calculation formula of the output power of the yaw motor is:

[0066]

[0067] Wherein, U is the output voltage of the yaw motor, I is the output current of the yaw motor, and cosα is the power factor of the yaw motor.

[0068] It should be noted that the power factor of the yaw motor described above is a functional parameter of the yaw motor, which can be directly provided by the manufacturer of the yaw motor, and the embodiment does not limit this.

[0069] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the torque limiter is a friction type torque limiter, and the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter can be obtained through the speed sensor. The embodiment can detect the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter in real time by adding a speed sensor at the output end of the friction type torque limiter.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the detection device obtains the output power of the yaw motor and the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter.

[0071] Step S20: When the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter is zero, the friction type torque limiter is in an overload protection state.

[0072] It should be noted that when the yaw system is normal to the wind, the detected friction torque limiter output speed is consistent with the friction torque limiter input speed; when the friction torque limiter is overloaded, the speed n becomes 0, and the rotation is stopped.

[0073] It should be noted that when the fan yaw system is subjected to rated load during the wind alignment process, the friction coupling pair in the friction torque limiter slips, and the friction torque limiter is disconnected from the yaw motor and the gear reducer, thereby stopping the yaw system from aligning the wind, effectively protecting the yaw system, that is, the friction torque limiter is in an overload protection state.

[0074] It should be understood that the friction coupling pair refers to a mechanical connecting component that exists due to friction to achieve torque or torque transmission.

[0075] It should be noted that under the rated load, the power output by the yaw motor when driving the yaw system to align the wind is the first maximum output power P max1 , and the torque limiter is overloaded. At this time, due to the slip of the friction coupling pair, the friction force changes from static friction to sliding friction, and the friction torque changes accordingly. The corresponding yaw motor output power will decrease slightly, and the corresponding output power is the second maximum output power P max2 . As the slip protection time of the friction torque limiter increases, the friction coupling plate will wear out, and the transmission torque will also decrease. However, when the transmission torque decreases to a certain value, the corresponding yaw motor is the minimum output power P min , and it is considered that the friction torque limiter is ineffective and cannot effectively protect the overload. The friction torque limiter needs to be maintained or replaced in time.

[0076] It should be understood that the relationship between the above three power values is: P min < P max2 < P max1 . For a specific fan yaw system, P max1 and P max2 are constant, and P min can be set according to the requirements of the yaw system, for example, it can be set to P min = 90% P max1 , so that the overload protection of the yaw system is maintained within a certain allowable range. By determining the relationship between P min , P max2 , P max1 , the speed n and the real-time power P of the yaw motor, the real-time online detection and feedback function of the friction torque limiter can be realized.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the detection device determines that the friction type torque limiter is in an overload protection state when the output rotating speed of the friction type torque limiter is zero.

[0078] Step S30: determining whether the output power is within a preset power threshold range.

[0079] It should be understood that, when the friction type torque limiter is in the overload protection state, the output power of the yaw motor should be between the minimum output power P min and the second maximum output power P max2 , that is, the preset power threshold range is between the minimum output power P min and the second maximum output power P max2 .

[0080] In a specific implementation, the detection device determines whether the output power of the yaw motor is within the preset power threshold range.

[0081] Step S40: if not, the friction type torque limiter is failed, and a friction type torque limiter failure warning is issued.

[0082] It should be noted that, if the output power is not within the preset power threshold range, it can be determined that the friction type torque limiter is in a failure state, at this time, the information of the state failure can be fed back to the upper computer real-time display system for display, and a friction type torque limiter failure warning is issued. That is, the step of if not, the friction type torque limiter is failed, and a friction type torque limiter failure warning is issued, includes: if not, indicating that the friction type torque limiter is failed; feeding back the information of the state failure to the upper computer real-time display system for real-time display; issuing a friction type torque limiter failure warning to prompt the technician to timely repair or replace the friction type torque limiter.

[0083] It should be noted that, the above-mentioned upper computer can be a remote device of a user, or a device for monitoring and displaying the working state of the fan yaw system, and the present embodiment does not limit this. In an implementation manner, the fan yaw torque limiter detection device can be used as the upper computer to display the working state of the fan yaw system, at this time, the information of the state failure does not need to be fed back to the upper computer real-time display system, and the display of the working state of the fan yaw system can be realized through the display device arranged on the detection device.

[0084] It should be understood that, when the friction type torque limiter is failed, a friction type torque limiter failure warning can be issued to remind the technician to timely repair or replace the friction type torque limiter, so as to avoid affecting the working of the fan yaw system.

[0085] The embodiment obtains the output power of the yaw motor and the output speed of the friction type torque limiter; when the output speed of the friction type torque limiter is zero, the friction type torque limiter is in an overload protection state; it is judged whether the output power is in a preset power threshold range; if not, the friction type torque limiter is invalid, and a friction type torque limiter invalidity early warning is sent. Since the working state of the friction type torque limiter is judged by the output speed of the friction type torque limiter, and whether the friction type torque limiter is invalid is judged according to the output power of the yaw motor, the running state of the friction type torque limiter in the yaw system of the wind turbine is timely detected online, the operation and maintenance cost is reduced, and the stability of the yaw system of the wind turbine is improved.

[0086] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a flowchart of the second embodiment of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection method.

[0087] Based on the above first embodiment, in the embodiment, after the step of obtaining the output power of the yaw motor and the output speed of the friction type torque limiter, the method further comprises:

[0088] Step S11: When the output speed of the friction type torque limiter is not zero, the friction type torque limiter does not perform overload protection.

[0089] Step S12: It is judged whether the output power is not greater than the first maximum output power.

[0090] Step S13: If not, the friction type torque limiter is invalid, and a friction type torque limiter invalidity early warning is sent to prompt the technical personnel to timely repair or replace the friction type torque limiter.

[0091] It should be noted that when the output speed of the friction type torque limiter is not zero, it means that the friction type torque limiter does not perform overload protection at this time. At this time, it can be judged whether the output power P of the yaw motor is not greater than the first maximum output power P max1 If yes, it indicates that the friction type torque limiter is in a normal overload protection state, and the normal state information is fed back to the real-time display system for display. That is, after the step of judging whether the output power is not greater than the first maximum output power, the method further comprises: if yes, it indicates that the friction type torque limiter is in a normal transmission state; the normal state information is fed back to the real-time display system for real-time display.

[0092] It needs to be explained that when the friction type torque limiter fails to carry out timely and effective overload protection when the wind load exceeds the rated load, the friction type torque limiter is invalid, at this time, the state invalidation information is fed back to the real-time display system, and the corresponding early warning instruction is sent, so as to prompt the technical personnel to maintain or replace the friction type torque limiter in time.

[0093] It should be understood that the running state of the friction type torque limiter is judged by judging the output speed of the friction type torque limiter, and the running state of the friction type torque is judged by judging the output power of the yaw motor, so as to realize the online real-time detection and feedback of the running state of the friction type torque limiter.

[0094] It can be understood that the running state of the friction type torque limiter can include normal state and invalid state. When the friction type torque limiter is in normal working state, the detection device can send a signal of normal state to the real-time display system; when the friction type torque limiter is in invalid state, the detection device can send state invalidation information to the real-time display system, and give an early warning to prompt the technical personnel to maintain or replace the torque limiter in time. The above detection and judgment process is repeated, and the running state of the friction type torque limiter is fed back in real time, so as to accurately determine whether the friction type torque limiter is in safe service state, and to give real-time early warning to the invalid friction type torque limiter, thereby improving the stability of the fan yaw system, and effectively avoiding the loss caused by the invalidation of the torque limiter of the yaw system.

[0095] Further, after the step of judging whether the output power is within the preset power threshold range, it includes: if yes, it indicates that the friction type torque limiter is in normal overload protection state; and the normal information is fed back to the real-time display system for display.

[0096] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 The detection flow chart of the fan yaw torque limiter detection method of the application.

[0097] When the fan yaw system starts, the detection device can acquire the yaw motor voltage and current, and calculate the output power P of the yaw motor according to the yaw motor voltage and current;

[0098] Further, the detection device can acquire the output speed n of the friction type torque limiter; and judge whether n is 0.

[0099] If yes, it indicates that the friction type torque limiter is carrying out overload protection, at this time, it can be judged whether the output power P of the yaw motor is within the preset power range, that is, whether P min ≤P≤P max2If the condition is met, it indicates that the friction torque limiter is operating normally; if the condition is not met, it indicates that the friction torque limiter has failed, and an early warning can be issued.

[0100] If not, it indicates that the friction torque limiter is not providing overload protection. In this case, it can be determined whether the output power P of the yaw motor is less than the first maximum power. If yes, it indicates that the friction torque limiter is operating normally; if no, it indicates that the friction torque limiter has failed, and a warning can be issued.

[0101] It should be noted that the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection method of the present invention repeatedly judges the friction torque and displays the operating status of the friction torque limiter through a real-time display system, thereby accurately reflecting whether the friction torque limiter is in a safe service state.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the output speed of the friction torque limiter is not zero, the friction torque limiter does not perform overload protection; it checks whether the output power is not greater than the first maximum output power; if not, the friction torque limiter fails, and a friction torque limiter failure warning is issued to prompt technicians to repair or replace the friction torque limiter in a timely manner; when the output speed of the friction torque limiter is zero, the friction torque limiter is in overload protection mode; it checks whether the output power is within the preset power threshold range; if not, the friction torque limiter fails, and a friction torque limiter failure warning is issued. Because the judgment is made on the friction torque limiter under different output speeds, the operating status of the friction torque limiter can be detected in a timely manner, and the failure point of the friction torque limiter can be accurately determined, thereby improving the timeliness of maintenance and replacement and ensuring the operational stability of the wind turbine yaw system.

[0103] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing a wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection method described above.

[0104] Based on the first embodiment of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection method of the present invention, a first embodiment of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection device of the present invention is proposed, with reference to... Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection device of the present invention.

[0105] like Figure 6 As shown, the wind turbine yaw torque limiter detection device proposed in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0106] Data acquisition module 601 is used to acquire the output power of the yaw motor and the output speed of the friction torque limiter;

[0107] The state judging module 602 is configured to determine that the friction torque limiter is in an overload protection state when the output rotating speed of the friction torque limiter is zero.

[0108] The data judging module 603 is configured to determine whether the output power is within a preset power threshold range.

[0109] The feedback alarm module 604 is configured to, if not, determine that the friction torque limiter is invalid, and issue a friction torque limiter invalidity early warning.

[0110] The embodiment obtains the output power of the yaw motor and the output rotating speed of the friction torque limiter, determines that the friction torque limiter is in an overload protection state when the output rotating speed of the friction torque limiter is zero, determines whether the output power is within a preset power threshold range, and if not, determines that the friction torque limiter is invalid and issues a friction torque limiter invalidity early warning. The working state of the friction torque limiter is determined by the output rotating speed of the friction torque limiter, and whether the friction torque limiter is invalid is determined according to the output power of the yaw motor, so that the running state of the friction torque limiter in the wind turbine yaw system is detected in time and online, and it is not necessary to rely on technical personnel to determine the running state of the wind turbine yaw system, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance cost and improving the stability of the wind turbine yaw system.

[0111] Further, the state judging module 602 is further configured to determine that the friction torque limiter has not been subjected to overload protection when the output rotating speed of the friction torque limiter is not zero.
