Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fatigue strength analysis of blade root bolts of wind turbines, and in particular to a method and system for fatigue strength analysis of blade root bolts of wind turbines. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the renewable energy field, wind turbines have developed rapidly in recent years. Among them, wind turbine blades are the core components of wind turbines, and their structural design directly affects the overall performance and reliability of the unit. In wind turbines, the blade root bolts are subjected to complex variable loads and are the key parts connecting the blades and the hub. Therefore, their fatigue strength issues have become an important research topic in blade structural design.

[0003] As the capacity of wind turbines increases, the size of blades continues to increase, which brings higher loads and more severe working environments to the blade root bolts. Bolt fatigue failure may cause the blades to fall off, which not only causes significant economic losses, but may also cause safety accidents. Therefore, the study of the fatigue strength of blade root bolts has important theoretical and practical significance.

[0004] Traditional blade root bolt design methods usually rely on empirical formulas and limited experimental data, which makes it difficult to accurately describe the actual working conditions under complex loads. This method not only leads to conservative design, increases material usage and costs, but also fails to fully utilize the performance of the bolts. In addition, with the advancement of fatigue testing technology and numerical simulation technology, it is necessary to develop a more scientific and reasonable fatigue strength calculation model to achieve accurate prediction and optimization design of the fatigue life of blade root bolts.

[0005] Currently, methods based on numerical simulation are gradually gaining popularity in engineering applications. As an effective tool, finite element analysis can simulate the stress distribution of blade root bolts under various working conditions, and its fatigue life can be predicted through the fatigue analysis module. However, the establishment and solution process of the finite element model is complicated and requires high computing resources. Therefore, how to combine fatigue strength prediction with engineering applications and develop a computational model that is both efficient and accurate is an important direction of current research.

[0006] The existing blade root bolt strength calculation model oversimplifies the nonlinear pitch bearing ball, which is quite different from the actual stress condition, thus affecting the stress state of the bolt.

[0007] For example, in the Chinese invention patent application CN118862346A, a method for calculating the fatigue strength of the blade root bolts of a wind turbine is disclosed. The disadvantage is that the contact relationship between the variable pitch bearing and the bearing ball is oversimplified, and the bearing ball is simply simplified into a spring unit that is only compressed, which is inconsistent with the actual force conditions and has limited simulation accuracy.

[0008] Or in the Chinese invention patent application CN114722683A, a parametric modeling and calculation analysis method for pre-embedded blade roots of wind turbine blades is disclosed, which is convenient for batch processing. The disadvantage is that the model is suitable for double-row ball bearings, not for three-row column bearings, and the bolts are simplified to half, and the simulation accuracy is limited. Summary of the invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a method and system for analyzing the fatigue strength of blade root bolts of wind turbines to help researchers better calculate the fatigue life of blade root bolts, so as to improve the design accuracy and service life of the bolts, thereby enhancing the overall reliability and safety of wind turbines.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for analyzing the fatigue strength of a wind turbine blade root bolt comprises the following steps:

[0018] Further, the step S1 comprises the following steps:

The geometric structure of the blade root bolt inside the blade is retained, the thread features of the blade root bolt and the threaded sleeve are removed, and the rollers in the pitch bearing are retained.

[0020] Further, the step S2 comprises the following steps:

The dangerous parts and transition points are locally refined, and the mesh quality is checked and the mesh independence is verified. The anisotropic linear elastic material constitutive model is used for the blades, and metal materials are used for the other materials.

[0022] Further, the step S2 comprises the following steps:

[0028]

[0029] Among them, F is the axial force on the blade end, M is the blade root bending moment, N is the number of bolts, and D is the blade root pitch diameter.

[0030] Further, the step S5 comprises the following steps:

[0032] The double slope SN curve of the blade root bolt is calculated according to the GL specification. The slope-related parameter m is 3 and 5 respectively. For the case where the nominal diameter of the bolt is greater than 30, it is multiplied by the reduction factor k. s :

[0033]

[0034] Among them, k s is the reduction factor, D is the nominal diameter of the bolt;

[0035]

[0036] Among them, Δσ A is the stress amplitude when the number of cycles is 2*106, γ m is the material safety factor;

[0037]

[0038] Among them, Δσ D The number of cycles is 5*10 6 The stress amplitude at A is 2*10 6 , N D 5*10 6 .

[0039] Further, the step S6 comprises the following steps:

[0040] According to the Palmgren-Miner law, each stress cycle will cause damage to the material. The damage value is the inverse of the fatigue life under the stress. According to the damage accumulation theory, the damage value obtained from each stress cycle is accumulated to obtain the total fatigue damage of the blade root bolt, as shown in the following formula:

[0041]

[0042] Among them, N i is the allowable number of stress cycles within the i-th stress range, Δσ i is the stress amplitude in the i-th stress range;
