[0002] A wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into electrical energy. Doubly-fed asynchronous wind turbines are one of the most widely used wind turbines. In order to ensure that the generator speed meets the requirements, a gearbox needs to be installed between the generator and the impeller to convert the kinetic energy of low speed into kinetic energy of high speed. Heat is generated during the meshing and rotation of the gears, causing the temperature inside the gearbox to rise. Therefore, a radiator is needed to dissipate heat for the gearbox.
[0003] However, the existing gearbox radiators are mostly placed in the open air and exposed to the air for air cooling. However, in the high temperature environment in summer, the external air temperature is too high, and the gearbox generates more heat, and the radiator bears greater heat dissipation pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. 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.
[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the present embodiment is a gearbox radiator device, including an oil outlet pipe 13 and an oil return pipe 14, and also including an oil separator 1 and an oil collecting tank 2, one end of the oil outlet pipe 13 is connected to the oil separator 1, and the oil return pipe 14 is connected to the oil collecting tank 2; a heat conducting pipe 3, both ends of which are respectively connected to the oil separator 1 and the oil collecting tank 2, and the heat conducting pipe 3 is provided with a plurality of cylindrical structures arranged around and evenly spaced to form a heat dissipation cavity; a heat dissipation ring sheet 4, which is arranged inside the heat dissipation cavity, and the outer circumferential surface of the heat dissipation ring sheet 4 is connected to the heat conducting pipe 3; a water collecting box 5, which is arranged on the upper side of the heat conducting pipe 3, and the water collecting box 5 is provided with a drain pipe 6 connected to the heat dissipation ring sheet 4; a scraping rotor assembly 7, which is arranged inside the heat conducting pipe 3 and the heat dissipation ring sheet 4, the drain pipe 6 discharges water to the heat dissipation ring sheet 4, and the scraping rotor assembly 7 rotates to scrape the heat dissipation ring sheet 4; specifically, the radiator device is arranged outside and exposed to the air, and the oil in the gearbox absorbs heat and is discharged through the outlet The oil pipe 13 flows into the oil distribution tank 1, and then is distributed by the oil distribution tank 1 to multiple slender heat-conducting pipes 3 to increase the heat dissipation area with the air. The heat dissipating ring sheet 4 is connected in series with the heat-conducting pipe 3. Its structure is flat and has a large heat dissipation area. The heat in the heat-conducting pipe 3 can be transferred to the heat dissipating ring sheet 4, and daily rainfall can be collected in the water collecting tank 5 for backup. The water collecting tank 5 is equipped with a one-way valve to prevent evaporation. The water collecting tank 5 intermittently sprays water on the heat dissipating ring sheet 4 through multiple drainage pipes 6, and cooperates with the cleaning rotor assembly 7 to scrape the water evenly on the heat dissipating ring sheet 4, which not only cleans the dust on the heat dissipating ring sheet 4, but also makes the heat dissipation function of the heat dissipating ring sheet 4 normal, and the water evaporates and absorbs heat after being evenly spread on the heat dissipating ring sheet 4, which reduces the temperature of the heat dissipating ring sheet 4 and takes away most of the heat. The oil after the oil temperature is reduced flows into the oil collecting tank 2 and then flows back to the gear box body 8 through the return oil pipe 14, so that it still has a good heat dissipation effect under the condition of high outdoor temperature.
[0031] It is worth noting that the wall of the water collecting tank 5 is provided with thermal insulation material to reduce the influence of the outside on the water temperature.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the scraper rotor assembly 7 in this embodiment includes a rod shaft 73, an impeller 72 and a brush plate 71, and the rod shaft 73 is respectively connected to the middle part of the oil separation tank 1 and the oil collection tank 2; the impeller 72 is rotatably connected to the rod shaft 73, and the brush plate 71 is installed on the outer ring of the impeller 72, and the brush plate 71 is in contact with the heat dissipation ring sheet 4; specifically, when the fan is running, there is a certain wind force outside, and the operation of the gear box is correspondingly increased, thereby increasing the heat generation, and the external wind force drives the impeller 72 to rotate. The setting direction of the impeller 72 is consistent with the direction of the fan blades. The wind drives the impeller 72 to rotate so that the brush plate 71 is in contact with the heat dissipation ring sheet 4. While the wind takes away part of the heat, it also promotes the evaporation of water on the heat dissipation ring sheet 4 and absorbs heat.
[0033] More preferably, the brush plate 71 is a strip structure, and the brush plate 71 has at least two groups of evenly spaced brush plates around the outer circle of the impeller 72, and the brush plate 71 is parallel to the rod shaft 73, and the brush plate 71 can contact and act with multiple heat dissipation ring sheets 4.
[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the drain pipe 6 in this embodiment passes through the top of the heat dissipation ring plate 4, and the water outlet of the drain pipe 6 is a conical hole, and a blocking ball 61 is stuck at the water outlet of the drain pipe 6; specifically, a part of the blocking ball 61 protrudes from the surface of the heat dissipation ring plate 4, and when the brush plate 71 rotates to the drain pipe 6, the blocking ball 61 can be pushed in, so that the water outflowing from the drain pipe 6 is absorbed by the bristles of the brush plate 71, which can avoid the waste caused by continuous water outflow from the drain pipe 6, and when the brush plate 71 leaves, the water impact force and the gravity of the blocking ball 61 will automatically block the water outlet.
[0035] More preferably, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, a plurality of heat dissipation ring sheets 4 are arranged evenly spaced along the length direction of the heat conducting tube 3; specifically, the heat dissipation ring sheets 4 are located at different positions of the heat conducting tube 3, and the heat dissipation ring sheets 4 near one end of the oil inlet pipe are relatively high, where the water output of the drain pipe 6 can be increased.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment also includes a gear pump 9, which is connected to an oil outlet pipe 13; it also includes a driving pulley 10 and a driven pulley 11, the driving pulley 10 is mounted on the fan main shaft, a transmission belt 12 is connected between the driving pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11, the gear pump 9 includes a cavity 92 and a pumping gear 91, one of the pumping gears 91 is coaxially connected to the driven pulley 11; specifically, when the external wind force is large, the gear box body 8 of the fan and the fan main shaft are both in operation, which provides power to the pumping gear 91 of the gear pump 9 through the fan main shaft, thereby realizing the self-circulation of oil in the oil outlet pipe 13, the oil return pipe 14, the gear box body 8 and the radiator device for heat dissipation and cooling.
[0037] In order to reduce the adhesion of large dust, filter screens 15 are installed at both ends of the heat conduction pipe 3 , and the water collecting box 5 is installed on the top of the two filter screens 15 .
[0038] In order to expand the size of the heat dissipation cavity formed in the heat pipe 3 , the heat pipe 3 is designed to have a bent structure.
[0039] Embodiment 2:
[0040] Reference Figure 4As shown, a wind turbine gearbox includes the above-mentioned gearbox radiator device, and also includes a distribution box 16 and an oil pool 17. The oil pool 17 is arranged at the lower end of the gearbox body 8, and the oil pool 17 is connected to the oil outlet pipe 13. The distribution box 16 is arranged at the top of the gearbox body 8 and is connected to the oil return pipe 14.
[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
