Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dampers, in particular to a damper, a wind turbine generator set support structure and a wind turbine generator set. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the context of wind power generation, the large-scale of wind turbine generator sets is an inevitable trend to reduce the cost of land-based and offshore wind power generation. Large-scale wind turbine generator sets require higher towers, and the stability of the whole structure of the wind turbine generator set, as the largest rotating power system in the world, is particularly important.

[0003] At a certain wind speed, wind will alternately generate vortices on both sides of the tower structure and detach from the surface of the structure. The alternating vortices induce a pressure difference on the surface of the structure, which will cause the tower to vibrate periodically. When the natural frequency of the whole structure composed of the wind turbine generator set and the support structure approaches the frequency of the vortex, the tower structure will resonate and be destroyed, and the fatigue load will be significantly increased.

[0004] In order to avoid the disastrous damage of such vortex-induced vibration to the tower structure of the wind turbine, a suitable damper is installed on the structure in engineering, such as a liquid damper, which dissipates energy by using the shaking of the liquid. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and is widely used. At present, the liquid damper is usually designed to have a significant damping effect on a certain main vibration frequency of the whole structure. However, in actual engineering, the vibration response frequency of the tower structure under different internal and external environmental loads usually has a large difference, and the frequency of the whole structure changes in real time with the service time. Only when the tuning frequency of the damper approaches the natural frequency of the whole structure, the damper can have good damping and load reduction effect. For example, when the wind speed gradually increases, the vibration frequency of the whole structure changes from low order to high order. At this time, the damper originally designed to suppress low-order vibration cannot effectively suppress high-order vibration, and has the problem of narrow applicable tuning frequency band. SUMMARY

[0027] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the description of the present application. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application, and other drawings can also be obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative labor.

[0032] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, comprehensible and easier to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without any creative work, fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] In the scenario of wind power generation, large-scale wind turbine generators are the inevitable trend to reduce the cost of land-based wind power and offshore wind power generation. Large-scale wind turbine generators require higher support structures, and the stability of the whole wind turbine generator structure, as the largest rotating power system in the world, is particularly important.

[0034] At a certain wind speed, wind will alternately generate vortices on both sides of the tower structure and detach from the surface of the structure. The alternating vortices induce a pressure difference on the surface of the structure, which will cause the tower to vibrate periodically. When the natural frequency of the whole machine structure composed of the "turbine-support structure" approaches the frequency of vortex occurrence, resonance damage of the tower structure will occur, and the fatigue load will be significantly increased.

[0035] In order to avoid the disastrous damage of the vortex-induced vibration to the wind turbine support structure, a suitable damper is installed on the support structure in engineering, for example, a liquid damper, which dissipates energy by shaking of the liquid, has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and is widely used. At present, the liquid damper is usually designed according to the main vibration frequency of the whole machine structure to play a significant damping effect. However, in actual engineering, the vibration response frequency of the tower structure under the action of different internal and external environmental loads usually has a large difference, and the whole machine structure frequency changes in real time with the service time. Only when the tuning frequency of the damper is close to the natural frequency of the whole machine structure, the damper can have good damping and load reduction effect. For example, when the wind speed gradually increases, the vibration frequency of the whole machine structure changes from low order to high order, at this time, the damper originally plays a suppression effect on low order vibration, and cannot play a good suppression effect on high order vibration, and has the problem of narrow applicable tuning frequency band.

[0036] Therefore, the damper provided by the application has three working modes, one is to rely on the annular tuning liquid column damper for structural vibration tuning, the second is to rely on the tuning liquid damper for structural vibration tuning, and the third is to rely on the viscous damper for structural vibration tuning.

[0037] At the same time, the volume of the damping liquid in the annular tuning liquid column damper and the tuning liquid damper can be increased or decreased by the driving device, so that the annular tuning liquid column damper and the tuning liquid damper both have a wide frequency range, and the tuning frequency ranges of the two dampers are complementary.

[0038] For extreme operating conditions, if the tuning frequency of the annular tuning liquid column damper and the tuning liquid damper after complementation still cannot meet the structural requirements, the viscous damper can be relied on for tuning at this time; through the application, the low order to high order natural frequency range of the whole machine structure of the future large-scale wind turbine can be adapted, and the structural damping and load reduction in different operating conditions in the whole life can be realized.

[0039] Secondly, due to the symmetry of the overall structure, the annular tuning liquid column damper, the tuning liquid damper and the viscous damper can all realize tuning and damping of load excitation in each direction, which matches the randomness of wind load.

[0040] The embodiments of the application are further described below with reference to the drawings:

[0055] As Figure 3 The driving rod in the driving device 7 can be connected with the top plate 6 at the center of the other side of the top plate 6 relative to the second cavity 8, so that the motor system connected with the driving device 7 can drive the top plate 6 to move up and down through the driving rod.

[0056] As Figure 3 A groove can also be arranged on one side of the top plate 6 relative to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 2, and a rubber ring 10 can be arranged in the groove, so that the damping liquid injected in the second cavity 8 can be prevented from penetrating to the other side of the top plate 6 relative to the second cavity 8 when the top plate 6 moves up and down.
