Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a wind turbine brake device. The present invention also relates to a braking method using the wind turbine brake device for braking. Background Art

[0002] The braking device of the wind turbine mainly includes the main shaft brake device and the yaw brake device. The yaw system realizes yaw to the wind, and after the wind is facing the wind, the nacelle of the wind turbine needs to maintain a stable position, which requires a set of braking devices. The existing yaw brake uses a hydraulic system brake, which is mainly composed of a yaw brake disc and a yaw brake caliper. The yaw brake disc and the outer ring of the yaw bearing are fixed on the tower together, and the yaw brake caliper is installed on the nacelle chassis. A piston cylinder is set in the brake caliper. The push of the piston in the piston cylinder is controlled by high-pressure oil to drive the brake caliper to clamp or loosen the brake disc to achieve yaw braking.

[0003] Damage to the yaw brake pump or control valve will directly affect the pressure relief speed, and blockage of the hydraulic line will also limit the pressure relief flow, resulting in a prolonged pressure relief process. Delayed yaw brake pressure relief will cause the wind turbine to fail to stop running in time, increasing the risk of equipment damage. In the case of excessive wind speed or extreme weather conditions, it may cause damage to the generator and the surrounding environment, and even cause safety accidents.

[0004] In addition, the delay in yaw brake pressure release will cause excessive pressure on components in the yaw drive system (such as the yaw gear and drive gear), which may cause these components to break or wear, thereby affecting the overall wind power generation efficiency. The inability to adjust the direction of the nacelle to align with the wind direction in time will reduce the effective use of wind energy and thus affect the power generation.

[0060] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0061] Embodiment 1

[0062] This embodiment relates to a braking device for a wind turbine. Generally, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the braking device for the wind turbine includes a brake disc 2 connected below the yaw gear 1 and a braking assembly 3 connected to the bottom plate 4. The braking assembly 3 includes a body 301, and a first electromagnetic assembly and a second electromagnetic assembly that are arranged at intervals up and down on the body 301. The first electromagnetic assembly includes a driving assembly 302, an executing assembly 303, and a first attracting assembly 304. The driving assembly 302 drives the executing assembly 303 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the executing assembly 303 is opposite to the rotation direction of the brake disc 2.

[0063] Among them, the brake disc 2 is arranged between the first attracting assembly 304 and the second electromagnetic assembly. The second electromagnetic assembly includes a second attracting assembly 305, a second elastic member 3054 arranged above the second attracting assembly 305, and a second armature 307 arranged above the second elastic member 3054; both the first attracting assembly 304 and the second attracting assembly 305 are electrically connected to an external power supply, and a first elastic member 308 is arranged below the first attracting assembly 304.

[0064] Secondly, when the first attracting component 304 is powered on, the actuating component 303 is driven to move upward away from the brake disc 2, and the first elastic member 308 is compressed to store energy. When the first attracting component 304 is powered off, the first elastic member 308 releases energy to drive the actuating component 303 to return to its position, and the actuating component 303 abuts above the brake disc 2. When the second attracting component 305 is powered on, the second armature 307 is attracted and abuts below the brake disc 2, and the second elastic member 3054 is compressed to store energy. When the second attracting component 305 is powered off, the second elastic member 3054 releases energy to drive the second armature 307 away from the brake disc 2.

[0065] In the braking device of the wind turbine generator set of this embodiment, by arranging the first attracting component 304 and the second attracting component 305 above and below the brake disc 2, braking is performed in an electrically controlled manner, avoiding the delay caused by using a hydraulic oil pump for braking in the prior art and the problem of brake failure caused by oil leakage, thereby ensuring the use safety of the wind turbine generator set and avoiding equipment damage. Moreover, by driving the actuating component 303 to rotate reversely on the brake disc 2 through the driving component 302, the rotational resistance of the brake disc 2 is increased, and the braking time of the yaw system is further shortened.

[0066] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the braking device of the wind turbine generator set of this embodiment is as Figures 1 to 4 shown. The driving component 302 is arranged above the yaw gear 1. The upper end of the bottom plate 4 is connected to the nacelle, and the lower end is connected to the yaw bearing 10.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 9 shown, the first attracting component 304 includes a first connecting seat 3041, a first coil 3042 and a first friction member 3043 arranged in the first connecting seat 3041. The first coil 3042 is arranged above the first friction member 3043. The first elastic member 308 is correspondingly arranged below the first friction member 3043. A first armature is arranged below the first elastic member 308, and the first armature is arranged on the actuating component 303.

[0068] The first connecting seat 3041 is made of a steel member. An annular ring groove for accommodating the first coil 3042 is formed in the first connecting seat 3041. For better effect, two annular ring grooves are arranged at intervals inside and outside in this embodiment for placing two first coils 3042, improving the adsorption force on the first armature and ensuring the operation reliability.

[0069] In addition, the first friction plate is an annular plate. When the first elastic member 308 presses against the first friction plate, it is used to reduce the wear on the first connecting seat 3041. The first friction plate in this embodiment and the following second friction plate are made of semi-metal or powder metallurgy materials. The first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 are spring plates made of spring steel.

[0070] Further, as Figures 5 to 8 shown, the driving assembly 302 includes a driving gear 3021, and a plurality of driven gears 3022 meshing and transmitting within the internal gear ring 30212 of the driving gear 3021. The actuating assembly 303 is connected to the driven gear 3022, and a first driving portion 5 for driving the driving gear 3021 to rotate is further provided on the bottom plate 4. The rotation direction of the driving gear 3021 is opposite to that of the yaw gear 1. The driving gear 3021 has an internal gear ring 30212, and a plurality of driven gears 3022 are arranged above the brake caliper.

[0071] Preferably, still as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the first driving portion 5 of this embodiment adopts a servo motor. Two first driving portions 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 4, and the yaw motor 9 meshing outside the yaw gear 1 is also fixed on the bottom plate 4. The yaw motor 9 and the servo motor are arranged staggeredly. The yaw bearing 10 is driven by the yaw motor 9 to rotate relative to the yaw gear 1. A flat thrust bearing is provided between the yaw gear 1 and the driving gear 3021, which can preferably bear the axial force generated by the pressing of the actuating assembly 303 against the brake disc 2 and ensure the stability of the driving assembly 302.

[0072] As Figures 5 to 8 shown, an external gear ring 30211 is provided outside the driving gear 3021, and a driving gear 8 is provided at the power output end of the first driving portion 5. The driving gear 8 is in meshing transmission with the external gear ring 30211. The first driving portion 5 drives the driven gear 3022 to rotate, thereby driving the actuating assembly 303 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the actuating assembly 303 is opposite to that of the brake disc 2.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment, as Figures 5 to 8 shown, the actuating assembly 303 includes a connecting shaft 3031 connected to the axis of the driven gear 3022, and a friction disc 3032 provided below the connecting shaft 3031. The connecting shaft 3031 penetrates through the main body 301 and the first attracting assembly 304 and extends towards the brake disc 2. A round hole for accommodating the friction disc 3032 is provided on the first armature, and the friction disc 3032 is flush with the bottom surface of the first armature.

[0074] In addition, as Figures 2 to 6As shown in the figure, the brake caliper has an annular rotating body structure, and an annular opening groove 3011 is also provided on the brake caliper. The first suction assembly 304 and the second suction assembly 305 are respectively arranged up and down in the opening groove 3011. A connecting bracket 6 is provided on the upper part of the brake caliper, and the connecting bracket 6 is connected to the bottom plate 4. The opening groove 3011 is a U-shaped groove formed on the side circumference of the brake caliper, and the open end faces the outside of the brake caliper. In this embodiment, the brake caliper is set for full-circle braking, and during the braking process, resistance is evenly applied to the brake disc 2, improving the smoothness during braking. Compared with the prior art where local braking is used and it is easy to cause jitter or deviation, it effectively avoids the unstable operation of the nacelle caused by yaw braking.

[0075] And, as Figures 4 to 8 shown, the actuating assembly 303 and the driven gear 3022 of this embodiment are also partially arranged along the axial direction of the brake caliper, so as to further improve the effect of stable braking in the case of large required braking resistance, and increase the positioning accuracy of the yaw system, achieving a quick and accurate stop of the nacelle and increasing power generation.

[0076] Specifically, as shown in the figure, a plurality of support columns 7 arranged along the radial direction of the brake caliper are provided on the connecting bracket 6, and the plurality of support columns 7 are connected to the yaw bearing 10. The support columns 7 are arranged between two adjacent driven gears 3022. By providing the support columns 7, the yaw bearing 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 4, and since both the yaw bearing 10 and the brake caliper are fixed to the bottom plate 4 through the connecting bracket 6, the stability of the relative position between the two is improved, avoiding the position adjustment process between the brake caliper and the brake disc 2 during installation, and improving the installation convenience.

[0077] As Figure 9 shown, the second suction assembly 305 includes a second connecting seat 3051, a second coil 3053 and a second friction member 3052 arranged in the second connecting seat 3051. The two second coils 3053 are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the second connecting seat 3051, the second friction member 3052 is arranged corresponding to the second coil 3053, and the second elastic member 3054 is arranged corresponding to the upper part of the second coil 3053.

[0078] Furthermore, both the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 are in an annular structure. By setting the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 as annular, the overall structural strength of the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 is increased, the resilience of the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 is increased, avoiding the lag of brake cancellation and increasing energy consumption.

[0079] In addition, as Figure 9As shown, the longitudinal cross-section of the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 is in a shape similar to the Chinese character "ji". Of course, the first elastic member 308 or the second elastic member 3054 can also be set to a structure such as an M shape, etc., to increase the compression space of the first elastic member 308 and the second elastic member 3054 and improve the elastic performance.
