[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] The core of the present invention is to provide an oil lubrication and sealing system for a wind turbine transmission system, which can reduce the maintenance and replacement frequency of the seal between the main shaft and the sealing end cover.

[0046] For a specific embodiment of the oil lubrication and sealing system for the wind turbine transmission system provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , including: a main shaft 2, a bearing seat 5 and a sealing end cover 4.

[0047] The sealing end cover 4 is fixed to the front end of the bearing seat 5 , the main shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 5 , the main shaft 2 is rotatably plugged into the sealing end cover 4 , and the sealing end cover 4 is sealed and matched with the main shaft 2 .

[0048] There is an annular labyrinth seal structure 45 arranged around the main shaft 2 between the sealing end cover 4 and the main shaft 2. The labyrinth seal structure 45 is a labyrinth gap formed between the main shaft 2 and the sealing end cover 4 by setting matching teeth or grooves. For example, the main shaft 2 is provided with a plurality of teeth in sequence along the axial direction, and a plurality of grooves corresponding to each tooth are provided on the inner hole of the sealing end cover 4. The heights of different teeth and the depths of different grooves are different to form a labyrinth gap. The labyrinth seal structure 45 can play a sealing role by means of throttling effect. There is an oil return hole 44 on the sealing end cover 4 at the front end of the labyrinth seal structure 45. One end of the oil return hole 44 is connected to the inside of the bearing seat 5 through the labyrinth seal structure 45, and the other end is connected to the oil tank 111.

[0049] When the unit is in normal operation, Figure 1 As shown, the unit is usually in a state of 7° backward tilt, and the labyrinth seal structure 45 can effectively seal. In special cases, such as Figure 2 As shown, under the maximum nodding condition of the unit (starting from the state of backward tilting 7° to forward tilting 10°), the unit is in a state of forward tilting 3°. At this time, due to the requirements of the radial size of the main shaft 2 and other factors, the oil in the bearing seat 5 may be higher than the labyrinth seal structure 45 located below it on the main shaft 2. If the lubricating oil in the bearing seat 5 passes through the labyrinth seal structure 45, the lubricating oil can be discharged back to the oil tank 111 through the oil return hole 44 to prevent the oil from leaking out of the unit. In addition, the oil lubrication and sealing system of the wind turbine transmission system can specifically be an oil lubrication and sealing system of the floating wind turbine transmission system.

[0050] To improve the sealing effect, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner hole 47 of the sealing end cover 4 is sleeved on the main shaft 2, and an annular oil chamber 43 surrounding the main shaft 2 is arranged on the inner hole 47 of the sealing end cover 4 in front of the labyrinth seal structure 45. The main shaft 2 is fixedly provided with an oil retaining ring 3. The oil retaining ring 3 extends radially into the oil chamber 43, and the oil return hole 44 is connected to the labyrinth seal structure 45 through the oil chamber 43. In other words, if oil leaks forward from the labyrinth seal structure 45, it will be blocked by the oil retaining ring 3, so that the oil flowing out of the labyrinth seal structure 45 in the axial direction is radially guided to the oil chamber 43, and enters the oil return hole 44 more smoothly, further improving the reliability of anti-leakage.

[0051] Among them, in order to realize the installation of the oil deflector 3, a fixed groove 213 is set on the main shaft 2, the inner end of the oil deflector 3 in the radial direction extends into the fixed groove 213, and the outer end protrudes relative to the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft 2. Specifically, in the axial direction, the labyrinth seal structure 45 is close to the end port of the oil deflector 3 and is parallel to the axial projection on the oil deflector 3 to improve the oil deflection effect. Specifically, there is still a gap between the outer end of the oil deflector 3 in the radial direction and the sealing end cover 4. In addition, the number of oil deflector rings 3 can be set according to the installation needs, for example, two are set in sequence along the axial direction, and other numbers can also be set. In addition, the height of the oil deflector 3 and the depth of the oil cavity 43 of the sealing end cover 4 can be set as needed, and heightening and deepening can improve the sealing effect. The oil deflector 3 is made of flexible material and is a flexible oil deflector, so that it can avoid the damage caused by the labyrinth system components during the installation and operation of the wind turbine set. In addition, since the oil deflector 3 is flexible, it is easy to install and maintain.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, a dustproof sealing ring 1 is also fixedly arranged on the main shaft 2 to cover the gap between the front end of the sealing end cover 4 and the main shaft 2.

[0053] Specifically, to facilitate assembly, Figure 1 As shown, a local protrusion on the main shaft 2 forms a bearing shoulder 21, and sealing-related components are installed on the bearing shoulder 21. Among them, a fixed boss 211 for fixing the dust seal ring 712 is processed on the bearing shoulder 21. Specifically, the two ends of the dust seal ring 1 in the axial direction are respectively against the fixed boss 211 and the front side of the sealing end cover 4, and two fixed grooves 213 for fixing the oil retaining ring 3 are processed on the rear side of the fixed boss 211. Two labyrinth protrusions 212 are processed on the bearing shoulder 21 at the rear side of the fixed groove 213. The labyrinth protrusion 212 and the inner hole 47 of the sealing end cover 4 form a labyrinth channel with a gap of 4 to 6 mm (specifically, it can refer to the gap between the axially or radially opposite surfaces), and the radial heights of the two labyrinth protrusions 212 are different.

[0054] To facilitate rapid oil return, Figure 1 As shown, the oil return hole 44 is located below the main shaft 2, and the oil return hole 44, the first oil return pipe 9 and the oil tank 111 form a U-shaped pipe structure, and the portion of the labyrinth seal structure 45 that is connected to the upper side wall of the oil return hole 44 is higher than the liquid level of the oil tank 111. Then, by directly using hydraulic pressure, it can be ensured that the oil in the oil return hole 44 will not flow back to the labyrinth seal structure 45, and the oil flowing from the labyrinth seal structure 45 to the oil return hole 44 can flow into the oil tank 111 under the action of hydraulic pressure. Of course, in other embodiments, a pump can also be added to the first oil return pipe 9 to drive the oil to flow to the oil tank 111 by external force. In addition, a one-way valve can also be set on the first oil return pipe 9 to effectively prevent the oil from flowing back from the oil tank 111 to the oil return hole 44.

[0055] Among them, in order to ensure the height relationship between the liquid level in the oil tank 111 and the labyrinth sealing structure 45, the amount of oil injected into the oil tank 111 can be controlled, or a liquid level gauge and an alarm can be added to the oil tank 111. When the oil amount exceeds the liquid level, the alarm will sound, thereby effectively controlling the liquid level.

[0056] To facilitate the setting of the fuel tank 111, Figure 1 As shown, the rear end of the bearing seat 5 is connected to the gear box 11, which can specifically seal the rear end of the bearing seat 5. The oil tank 111 is a gear box oil tank arranged at the bottom of the gear box 11, so there is no need to add a separate oil tank 111. In order to meet the height requirements of the oil tank 111 and the labyrinth seal structure 45, the oil tank 111 is designed to be sunken as much as possible. In addition, the main shaft 2 can be connected to the gear structure in the gear box 11. At the same time, the gear box oil tank and the bearing seat 5 can also be connected.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 5 through the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8. The front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8 are arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction to ensure the smooth rotation of the main shaft 2.

[0058] To ensure adequate lubrication of the front bearing 6, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a front oil baffle plate 51 is provided on the inner bottom wall between the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8 in the bearing seat 5, and a front oil reservoir 53 is formed in the space between the sealing end cover 4 and the front oil baffle plate 51 in the bearing seat 5, which can effectively store oil to ensure sufficient lubrication of the front bearing 6. The front oil baffle plate 51 and the bearing seat 5 can be cast as one piece.

[0059] To ensure adequate lubrication of the rear bearing 8, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the bearing seat 5 radially protrudes inward to form a rear mounting convex ring 55, and the rear mounting convex ring 55 is provided on the rear bearing 8. The bearing seat 5 is provided with a rear oil baffle plate 52 at the rear side of the rear bearing 8, and the bottom of the rear oil baffle plate 52 is fixed to the rear side of the rear mounting convex ring 55. The space between the front end of the outer ring of the rear bearing 8 and the rear oil baffle plate 52 in the bearing seat 5 forms a rear oil reservoir 54. In addition, the rear side of the rear oil baffle plate 52 can also block the oil in the oil tank 111. Among them, the rear oil baffle plate 52 is fastened to the bearing seat 5 by bolts to adapt to the structural feature that the middle part of the rear bearing 8 protrudes backward.

[0060] Since the front oil baffle plate 51 and the rear oil baffle plate 52 are provided at the bottom of the bearing seat 5, the front nozzle 13 can be provided on the sealing end cover 4 accordingly, and the rear nozzle 12 can be provided on the bearing seat 5 between the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8. When the lubrication system is in operation, the front nozzle 13 sprays the oil and flows down along the front bearing 6, forming an oil pool in front of the front oil baffle plate 51, so that more than 12 rollers of the front bearing 6 are immersed in the oil pool, and the front bearing 6 can be fully lubricated when the front bearing 6 rolls; the front nozzle 13 sprays the oil and flows down along the rear bearing 8, forming an oil pool in the rear of the rear oil baffle plate 52, so that more than 12 rollers of the rear bearing 8 are immersed in the oil pool, and the rear bearing 8 can be fully lubricated when the rear bearing 8 rolls.

[0061] In addition, a second oil return pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the bearing seat 5 between the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8, which is connected to the bearing seat 5 and the oil tank 111, and can be specifically connected to a position on the inner bottom wall of the bearing seat 5 that is always higher than the oil tank liquid level C. When oil enters between the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8 from the rear oil reservoir 54, it can be returned to the oil tank 111 through the second oil return pipe 14. In addition, the lubrication pump 10 is connected to the bearing seat 5 through the front nozzle 13 and the rear nozzle 12 respectively to provide lubricating oil to the bearing seat 5.

[0062] In order to reduce the weight of the equipment, the sealing end cover 4 is made of engineering plastic material and can be formed by mold casting.

[0063] In order to facilitate the removal of the bearing during on-site inspection, the sealing end cover 4 includes a plurality of end cover plates spliced ​​in sequence along the circumferential direction, and each end cover plate is connected in sequence to form an inner hole 47, which can be detachably connected. The main shaft 2 is plugged into the inner hole 47. The contact surfaces of two adjacent end cover plates are plugged and matched and provided with sealant.

[0064] Specifically, Figures 5 to 8 As shown, there are two end cover plates, namely, a lower half plate 42 and an upper half plate 41 fixed above the lower half plate 42. Both the lower half plate 42 and the upper half plate 41 are semi-circular. In addition, protrusions and grooves are respectively provided on the connecting surfaces of the upper half plate 415 and the lower half plate 429. During installation, sealant is applied to the contact surface and the groove of the upper half plate 415 and the lower half plate 429, and then the two end cover plates are clamped and connected by a plurality of bolts. In addition, a plurality of injection pipe mounting holes are opened on the upper half plate 415, which can be used to install the front nozzle 13. The bottom of the lower half plate 429 opens an oil return hole 44, and the oil flows from the oil return hole 44 to the oil tank 111. In addition, the sealing end cover bolt holes, the injection pipe mounting holes, and the oil return hole 44 are all pre-buried with metal sleeves so that the bolts can be tightened with standard torque.

[0065] In order to improve the sealing performance between the sealing end cover 4 and the bearing seat 5, as Figure 4As shown, a mounting groove 46 is provided on the rear side of the sealing end cover 4, and a sealing ring 7, specifically an O-ring, is provided in the mounting groove 46 to seal between the front side of the bearing seat 5 and the rear side of the sealing end cover 4, and a sealant is provided between the front side of the bearing seat 5 and the rear side of the sealing end cover 4. During the assembly process, when the sealing end cover 4 and the bearing seat 5 are installed at the joint surface, the O-ring is assembled and the sealant is applied to ensure the sealing between the two.

[0066] The oil lubrication and sealing system of the wind turbine transmission system in this embodiment has the following working principles: Figure 1 The front oil reservoir level A, rear oil reservoir level B, and oil tank level C are given when the unit is tilted backward by 7° in normal operation. When the unit is operating normally, the front oil reservoir level A is lower than the labyrinth sealing structure 45 of the lower half 42 of the sealing end cover 4. The labyrinth sealing structure 45 between the sealing end cover 4 and the main shaft 2 can effectively block the splashing of spray oil. A small amount of splashed oil can also be recovered into the oil tank 111 of the gear box 11 through the oil return hole 44 below the sealing end cover 4. Figure 2 The front oil reservoir level A, the rear oil reservoir level B, and the oil tank level C are given when the unit is in the maximum forward nodding condition of 10° for an extremely short period of operation. When the unit is briefly in the maximum forward nodding condition of 10°, the front oil reservoir level A is higher than the labyrinth sealing structure 45 of the lower half 42 of the sealing end cover 4. Since the oil tank level C is designed to be lower than the labyrinth sealing structure 45 of the lower half 42 of the sealing end cover 4, the oil enters the lower half 42 of the sealing end cover 4 from the labyrinth sealing structure 45 and flows back to the oil tank 111 through the oil return hole 44.

[0067] The oil lubrication and sealing system of the wind turbine transmission system in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects: a multi-stage labyrinth seal is used between the sealing end cover 4 and the bearing seat 5, which can effectively improve the sealing effect of the sealing system, and the radial sealing ring 7 can be eliminated, and the metal ring specially installed for the radial sealing ring 7 can be correspondingly omitted, thereby reducing the design cost; the sealing end cover 4 is made of engineering plastic and has an upper and lower split structure, which has a simple structure, is easy to cast, is light in weight, and has a low cost. It is easy to install and remove in the factory and on site, and is convenient for bearing maintenance; a front oil baffle 51 is set on the front side of the bottom of the bearing seat 5. When the lubrication and sealing system is running, the front nozzle 1 The spray oil flows down along the front bearing 6 to form a front oil reservoir 53 at the front side of the front oil baffle 51, and the spray oil from the rear nozzle 12 flows down along the rear bearing 8 to form a rear oil reservoir 54 at the front side of the rear oil baffle 52, so that more than 12 rollers of the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8 are immersed in the front oil reservoir 53 and the rear oil reservoir 54 respectively, which can fully lubricate the front bearing 6 and the rear bearing 8; the oil level of the gear box 1116 is designed to be lowered, and when the unit is in the maximum forward tilting operation condition of 10°, the lubricating oil of the front bearing 6 can flow out from the labyrinth sealing structure of the sealing end cover 4 and quickly flow back to the oil tank 111 through the first oil return pipe 9 to prevent the leakage of the lubricating oil.
