Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine generator sets, and in particular to a positioning and processing device and a processing method for a keyway of a variable pitch shaft in a cabin. Background Art

[0002] At present, the variable pitch system of Haizhuang 2000KW wind turbines in operation uses a flat key and keyway connection method for connecting the variable pitch motor and the variable speed gearbox. A keyway is opened on one side of the variable pitch motor output shaft and a flat key is inserted. A groove is opened on the gearbox input shaft. The two are rigidly connected. During the operation of the variable pitch system, the variable pitch motor drives the variable speed gearbox to reciprocate. It is often the case that the keyway of the variable pitch motor or the groove on the side of the gearbox is rubbed and squeezed by the stronger key, causing the keyway and groove brush to deform and damage. The rotation of the variable pitch motor cannot be linked to the rotation of the variable pitch gearbox, and a slipping situation occurs. At this time, the wind turbine reports a variable pitch fault and stops, and the variable pitch angle is usually beyond the normal range. This greatly increases the difficulty of maintenance, delays the maintenance progress, and causes a lot of power loss. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to modify the keyway of the output shaft of the variable pitch motor in the existing wind turbine, and proposes a positioning and processing device and a processing method for the keyway of the variable pitch shaft in the cabin.

[0004] A positioning and processing device for a keyway of a variable pitch shaft in a cabin, comprising a bottom plate, a left pressing block, and a right pressing block, characterized in that:

[0005] Positioning grooves are provided on the left and right pressing blocks;

[0006] The two positioning grooves are used to press and fix the shaft. After fixation, each side of the positioning groove is tangent to the outer circle of the shaft.

[0007] The positioning groove is used to press and fix the shaft, and an opening is formed above the shaft and between the left pressing block and the right pressing block above the shaft;

[0008] The lower opening is used as a positioning process opening, and the upper opening is used as a machining process opening; the original keyway of the shaft is used for positioning at the positioning process opening, and a new keyway is machined on the shaft at the machining process opening.

[0009] A processing method based on a positioning processing device for a keyway of a variable pitch shaft in a cabin, characterized in that:

[0010] 1) Place a small vertical milling machine in the engine room;

[0011] 2) The processing device is placed on the working table of a small vertical milling machine, and the processing reference surface is placed flat on the working table;

[0012] 3) Rotate the shaft to a fixed position with the keyway facing downwards, and the existing keyway of the shaft cooperates with the positioning block at the bottom for positioning;

[0013] 4) Use the screw to rotate to press the left and right pressing blocks on the shaft;

[0014] 5) Select a milling cutter and adjust the position of the milling cutter center so that the center line of the keyway, the center line of the milling cutter and the center line of the shaft are in the same vertical plane;

[0015] 6) Process the keyway on the shaft;

[0016] 7) After the processing is completed, release the clamping block and remove the processing device and small vertical milling machine.

[0017] Advantages of this application's technical solution:

[0018] Open a common flat key of the same size on the symmetrical back of the single-side groove of the original variable pitch system shaft, open a groove of the same size symmetrically on the opposite side of the groove on the original gearbox side, and then purchase a common flat key to complete the transformation. Through analysis, the double keyway + double groove method is adopted, and the force of the key connection is changed from the original single-sided rigid connection to a double-sided connection, which reduces the force on the keyway by half. In addition, the keyway is opened on both sides, and both sides are subjected to force at the same time, and the force is evenly balanced, which greatly reduces the friction, extrusion damage, and deformation of the brush mouth of the variable pitch motor keyway or the gearbox side groove due to reciprocating motion. The resulting variable pitch failure is greatly reduced, the number of shutdowns and downtime are reduced, and the availability index of the wind turbine is improved, bringing obvious economic benefits. The keyway processing and transformation of the output shaft of the variable pitch motor in the existing wind turbine is carried out, and convenient processing equipment is used to facilitate on-site processing in the cabin, which improves the processing efficiency, and the operation reliability is improved after the double groove is changed.

[0021] 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.

[0022] For the current Haizhuang 2000KW wind turbine pitch system, the pitch motor is connected to the speed gearbox using a flat key and keyway connection. A keyway is opened on one side of the pitch motor output shaft and a flat key is inserted, and a groove is opened on the gearbox input shaft. The two are rigidly connected. During the operation of the pitch system, the pitch motor drives the speed gearbox to reciprocate. It is often the case that the pitch motor keyway or the gearbox side groove is rubbed and squeezed by the stronger key, causing the keyway and groove brush mouth to deform. The rotation of the pitch motor cannot drive the pitch gearbox to rotate, resulting in a slipping situation. At this time, the wind turbine reports a pitch failure and shuts down, and the pitch angle is usually beyond the normal range. According to the above situation, through analysis, the double keyway and double groove method is adopted, so that the force of the key connection is changed from the original single-sided rigid connection to a double-sided connection, so that the force on the keyway is reduced by half, and the keyways are opened on both sides, and both sides are subjected to force at the same time, and the force is evenly balanced, which greatly reduces the friction, extrusion damage, and deformation of the brush mouth of the variable pitch motor keyway or the gearbox side groove due to reciprocating motion, and the resulting variable pitch failures are greatly reduced.

[0023] In order to realize the keyway processing and modification of the output shaft of the variable pitch motor in the existing wind turbines, it is necessary to conveniently use processing equipment in the cabin.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a positioning and processing device for a keyway of a variable pitch shaft in a cabin comprises a bottom plate 8, a left pressing block 51, and a right pressing block 52. A positioning groove is provided on the left pressing block.

[0025] The positioning groove adopts a V-shaped groove with an angle of 90°-150°.

[0026] The two locating grooves are used to press and fix the shaft. After fixation, each side of the locating groove is tangent to the outer circle of the shaft.

[0027] The depth of the positioning groove is 0.8-1.5 times the radius of the shaft.

[0028] The positioning groove is used to press and fix the shaft, and an opening is formed above the shaft and between the left pressing block and the right pressing block above.

[0029] The lower opening is used as a positioning process opening, and the upper opening is used as a processing process opening 7.

[0030] The left clamping block and the right clamping block are installed on the left and right side plates 3, and are connected to the screw seats 2 on the left and right side plates through screws 4. When the screw 4 is rotated by the hand wheel 1, the left clamping block and the right clamping block move toward or away from each other.

[0031] The middle part of the bottom plate 8 is used as a positioning area for installing and fixing the positioning plate 10. The positioning plate 10 is processed with a square groove, and the center line of the square groove is aligned with the center line of the shaft.

[0032] A positioning block 9 can be movably inserted into the square groove.

[0033] The width of the positioning block 9 is equal to the width of the keyway on the shaft 6, and the length of the positioning block is less than the length of the shaft keyway.

[0034] A clearance fit is formed between the positioning block 9 and the shaft keyway and the square groove.

[0035] The height of the positioning plate 10 can be selected in different sizes to match different shaft diameters.

[0036] The lower surface of the bottom plate 8 is processed to form a processing reference surface.

[0037] A positioning processing method for a keyway of a variable pitch shaft in a cabin comprises the following steps:

[0038] 1. Arrange a small vertical milling machine in the engine room.

[0039] 2. The processing device is placed on the work surface of the small vertical milling machine, and the processing reference surface is placed flat on the work surface for installation and fixation.

[0040] 3. Rotate the shaft to a fixed position with the keyway facing downward and the existing keyway of the shaft cooperating with the positioning block at the bottom.

[0041] Fixed positioning plates of different heights are selected according to the shaft diameter, and different positioning blocks are selected according to the keyway width of the shaft.

[0042] 4. Use the screw to rotate to press the left and right clamping blocks on the shaft to fix it.

[0043] 5. Select the milling cutter and adjust the position of the milling cutter center so that the center line of the keyway, the center line of the milling cutter and the center line of the shaft are in the same vertical plane;

[0044] 6. Process the keyway on the shaft.

[0045] 7. After processing is completed, release the clamping block and remove the processing device and small vertical milling machine.

[0046] After processing, the shaft of the variable pitch system is grooved on both sides, and can be keyed on both sides. At the same time, the coupling on the gearbox side can also be processed with grooves on both sides, so that the left and right double keyways and double grooves are used, so that the force of the key connection is changed from the original single-sided rigid connection to a double-sided connection, which reduces the force on the keyway by half. In addition, the keyways are opened on both sides, and the forces are applied on both sides at the same time, and the forces are evenly balanced, which greatly reduces the friction, extrusion damage, and deformation of the brush mouth of the variable pitch motor keyway or the groove on the gearbox side due to reciprocating motion, and the resulting variable pitch faults are greatly reduced.

[0047] In this application, the processing device is used to eliminate the need to remove the variable pitch system shaft and move it to the factory for processing. The original installation position inside the cabin is used for pressing and positioning and processing the opposite keyway, which improves the processing efficiency. After changing to a double groove, the operating reliability is improved.
