Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a wind power gearbox endoscope inspection and fault analysis training system. Background Art

[0002] Wind power generation is a clean energy with advantages such as environmental protection and renewable energy. It is widely used in the global energy structure. One of the core components of a wind turbine is the gearbox, which converts the low-speed and high-torque mechanical energy output by the wind turbine into high-speed and low-torque mechanical energy to drive the generator to generate electricity. However, during the operation of the gearbox, due to the long-term influence of factors such as alternating loads, corrosion, fatigue, etc., various faults are prone to occur, such as gear tooth breakage, gear pitting, gear plastic deformation, gear wear and gear bonding. If these faults are not discovered and handled in time, they will seriously affect the normal operation of the wind turbine and even cause major safety accidents. Mechanical equipment detection technology is a technology that uses physical or chemical methods to inspect, test and analyze mechanical equipment to evaluate its performance and safety. Endoscopic inspection technology is a non-destructive detection technology that uses an endoscope to intuitively observe the internal structure of mechanical equipment and find defects therein. This technology has the advantages of simple operation, high detection accuracy, and no impact on the normal operation of the equipment. It is widely used in the detection of various mechanical equipment.

[0003] The existing wind turbine gearbox inspection method is mainly carried out through regular disassembly and inspection. Although this method can detect some obvious faults, it is difficult to effectively detect some early or hidden faults. In addition, this method requires the gearbox to be disassembled, which not only wastes time and manpower, but may also affect the structure and performance of the gearbox. In the field of mechanical equipment inspection, there are already some devices and systems that use endoscopes for inspection, but these devices and systems are mainly for general mechanical equipment. For large and complex equipment such as wind turbine gearboxes, there is a lack of specialized endoscope inspection equipment and systems.

[0004] There are some shortcomings in the existing wind turbine gearbox inspection methods: First, the traditional periodic disassembly and inspection methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot detect early or hidden faults in a timely manner. Secondly, the existing endoscopic inspection equipment and systems are mainly aimed at general mechanical equipment. For large and complex equipment such as wind turbine gearboxes, there is a lack of specialized endoscopic inspection equipment and systems, which makes it difficult to meet actual needs. In addition, existing endoscopic inspection equipment and systems usually do not have intelligent analysis functions, and require manual analysis and judgment, which is inefficient and easily affected by human factors. Therefore, how to develop an endoscopic inspection and fault analysis training system specifically for wind turbine gearboxes is an important issue currently facing this field.
