Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine generators, and in particular to an automatic deicing system for blades of a wind turbine generator set. Background Art

[0002] The blades of wind turbines work in a cold and high-humidity environment, and their surfaces are likely to freeze. The freezing is mainly due to the fact that the water vapor in the air in cold weather is cooled and condensed into ice crystals when it contacts the blade surface. In cold climate conditions, the surface temperature of the blades may be below the freezing point, causing water vapor to condense into ice. Blade freezing can have a serious impact on the operation of wind turbines, including reducing power generation efficiency, increasing mechanical load, and causing safety hazards.

[0003] Through searching, CN113958469B was found, which discloses a de-icing device and method for a wind turbine blade unit. The invention drives the blade to rotate 180° through a blade pitch changer, and de-ices the blade through a de-icing agent nozzle and a de-icing light source arranged on the tower. No manual operation is required, and the control program of the control unit is used to realize automatic de-icing of the wind turbine unit, which greatly reduces the maintenance time of blade de-icing.

[0004] However, in actual use, due to the large size and gravity of the blades, it takes a certain amount of time to drive the blades to rotate through the pitch device, and the entire fan needs to be shut down for de-icing to facilitate de-icing on both sides of the blades. This not only reduces the de-icing efficiency, but also stops generating electricity after the fan is shut down, which will also cause a certain amount of electricity loss. Therefore, we need a de-icing device that can de-ice efficiently, quickly and with low energy consumption. Summary of the invention

[0015] Beneficial Effects The present invention provides an automatic deicing system for blades of a wind turbine generator set, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The wind turbine blade automatic de-icing system can monitor whether the blade surface is frozen and the ice position in real time by setting an ice monitoring mechanism. When the ice range is greater than the set value, the heating electrode is used to power the graphene heating coating, which can efficiently convert electrical energy into thermal energy, so that the ice layer on the blade surface can be heated to make it fall off. In combination with the super-hydrophobic coating, the adhesion of ice to the blade surface can be reduced, making it easier for ice to fall off under the action of wind and gravity. Compared with the traditional resistance wire heating method, the graphene coating heats more evenly, consumes less energy, and causes less damage to the blade structure.

After the counterweight ring moves to the position where the ice layer is located, the hot air blown out of the hot air hole can heat the ice layer from the outside to the inside, thereby accelerating the melting of the ice layer. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a good deicing effect for blades, a high deicing efficiency, realizes automatic deicing, and does not require the generator to be shut down.

[0034] Working principle: When the automatic de-icing system for blades of a wind turbine is working, the ice monitoring mechanism is first used to determine whether the surface of the blade 6 is frozen and the location of the ice. Specifically, multiple temperature and humidity sensor modules 7 are used to monitor the humidity and temperature of the surface of the blade 6. When the humidity is less than the set value, it is determined that there is no ice. When the humidity is greater than the set value and the temperature is lower than zero degrees Celsius, it is determined that there is ice. A network distribution map of the ice situation is drawn by multiple temperature and humidity sensor modules 7. When the ice range is greater than the set value, the heating electrode 10 is used to power the graphene heating coating 8, which can efficiently convert electrical energy into thermal energy, so that the ice layer on the surface of the blade 6 can be heated to make it fall off. In combination with the super-hydrophobic coating 9, the adhesion of ice to the surface of the blade 6 can be reduced, making it easier for the ice to fall off under the action of wind and gravity. Compared with the traditional resistance wire heating method, the graphene coating is heated more evenly and consumes less energy. , and the damage to the structure of the blade 6 is small; when the ice range is smaller than the set value, the graphene heating coating 8 does not heat, thereby achieving energy saving. At this time, de-icing is achieved by setting an automatic control mechanism. When the blade 6 rotates to a downward tilted position, the trigger ball 20 is used to press the press switch 19 to control the retracting and discharging motor 16 to rotate forward, thereby driving the reeling roller 17 to release the wire rope 18. Under the action of gravity, the counterweight ring 11 drives the de-icing brush 12 to move along the blade 6, so that the ice layer on the surface of the blade 6 can be swept off, and after the counterweight ring 11 moves to the position of the ice layer, the hot air hole 13 is used to blow out hot air to heat the ice layer from the outside to the inside, thereby accelerating the melting of the ice layer. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a good de-icing effect on the blade 6, a high de-icing efficiency, realizes automatic de-icing, and does not require the generator to be shut down. It can generate electricity while de-icing, effectively avoiding the loss of electricity caused by shutdown.

In the case of no conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other; Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
