[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0030] A wind turbine gearbox exhaust port protection cover structure includes a protective support frame 1 and a generator fixing frame 2. The generator fixing frame 2 is fixedly welded at the position of the gearbox exhaust port. The protective support frame 1 is connected to the generator fixing frame 2 through a quick-release component. The protective support frame 1 is provided with:
[0031] A flow-blocking component, which includes an inner flow-blocking unit and an outer flow-blocking unit. Both the inner flow-blocking unit and the outer flow-blocking unit are fixed inside the protective support frame 1. Both the inner flow-blocking unit and the outer flow-blocking unit have two states: closed and open. A plurality of groups of rotating adhesion plates 11 are rotatably connected to both the inner flow-blocking unit and the outer flow-blocking unit;
[0032] A driving component, which can control the opening and closing of the inner flow-blocking unit and the outer flow-blocking unit, and can make the opening and closing states of the inner flow-blocking unit and the outer flow-blocking unit alternate.
[0033] In the present invention, the protective support frame 1 is fixed on the generator fixing frame 2 by a quick-release assembly, and the exhaust port of the gear box is located at the generator fixing frame 2, and the exhaust gas flows out through the protective support frame 1. During the outflow process, the gas first enters the protective support frame 1 through the inner baffle unit, and then is discharged to the outside air through the outer baffle unit. At the same time, the external air flowing into the equipment also needs to pass through the outer baffle unit and the inner baffle unit in sequence. Through the staggered opening and closing of the outer baffle unit and the inner baffle unit, the external airflow will contact the outer baffle unit or the rotating adhesion plate 11 on the surface of the outer baffle unit before entering the generator fixing frame 2. Impurities such as cotton wool in the air are adsorbed onto the rotating adhesion plate 11 by the rotating adhesion plate 11, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the inside of the generator fixing frame 2 through the exhaust port, and thus foreign matter from entering the inside of the gear box. When cleaning is needed, the protective support frame 1 can be disassembled to clean the surface of the rotatable rotating adhesion plate 11. Through the rotation of the rotating adhesion plate 11, the user can fully contact the outer surface of the rotating adhesion plate 11, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0034] The baffle assembly includes an inner ring 9, which is fixedly installed between the protective support frame 1, an inner baffle unit is fixedly arranged on a side of the inner ring 9 close to the generator fixing frame 2, and an outer baffle unit is fixedly arranged on a side of the inner ring 9 away from the generator fixing frame 2. The interior of the inner ring 9 serves as an air flow channel, and the inner baffle unit and the outer baffle unit can shield both ends of the inner ring 9.
[0035] Among them, the inner baffle unit and the outer baffle unit both include side extension plates 10 and rotating adhesion plates 11. Both the inner baffle unit and the outer baffle unit are provided with two groups of side extension plates 10, and the side extension plates 10 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the embedded ring 9. Multiple groups of rotating adhesion plates 11 are rotatably connected between the side extension plates 10. When the rotating adhesion plates 11 rotate vertically, adjacent rotating adhesion plates 11 interfere with each other to limit the air circulation between the protective support frames 1.
[0036] When the rotating adhesion plate 11 in the present invention is rotated to a vertical state, the ends of adjacent rotating adhesion plates 11 contact each other, which can block the air circulation. The rotating adhesion plates 11 in the outer baffle unit and the inner baffle unit rotate alternately, ensuring that the air flowing into the protective support frame 1 is in advance in contact with the surface of the rotating adhesion plate 11, thereby ensuring that foreign matter in the air can adhere to the rotating adhesion plate 11, preventing foreign matter from entering the generator fixing frame 2.
[0037] Among them, the driving assembly includes a mounting shaft 14, which is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating adhesion plate 11, and the mounting shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the side extension plate 10. A driven gear 13 is fixedly installed on the mounting shaft 14, and a telescopic rod 15 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the side extension plate 10. A tooth plate 12 is fixedly installed on the free end of the telescopic rod 15. The tooth plate 12 is slidably connected to the side extension plate 10, and the driven gears 13 are meshed with the tooth plate 12.
[0038] The telescopic rod 15 drives the toothed plate 12 to slide up and down. Through the interaction between the toothed plate 12 and the driven gear 13, the driven gear 13 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 13 drives the rotating adhesion plate 11 to rotate. As a result, after the rotating adhesion plate 11 rotates from the vertical state to the horizontal state and then rotates back to the vertical state in the reverse direction.
[0039] Among them, the telescopic rod 15 is a cylinder. Controllers are fixedly installed inside the protective support frame 1. The telescopic rods 15 are all controlled by the controllers. When the telescopic rods 15 on the inner baffle unit extend, the telescopic rods 15 on the outer baffle unit are in a contracted state. The cylinder serves as the telescopic rod 15 to drive the toothed plate 12 to slide up and down, and the cylinders on the inner baffle unit and the outer baffle unit work in opposite directions.
[0040] Among them, an inner filter screen 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the generator fixing frame 2 away from the protective support frame 1. A buffer layer 16 is provided at the connection between the generator fixing frame 2 and the protective support frame 1. The vibration between the protective support frame 1 and the generator fixing frame 2 is reduced through the buffer layer 16.
[0041] Among them, the quick-release assembly includes an inner fixing page 4 and an outer mounting page 5. The inner fixing page 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the generator fixing frame 2 by bolts. The inner fixing pages 4 are distributed at the four corners of the generator fixing frame 2, and the upper and lower inner fixing pages 4 are symmetrically arranged with the midline of the generator fixing frame 2 as the axis of symmetry. The outer mounting page 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective support frame 1 by bolts. The upper outer mounting page 5 is above the upper inner fixing page 4, and the lower outer mounting page 5 is below the lower inner fixing page 4. The protective support frame 1 and the generator fixing frame 2 are connected through the outer mounting page 5 and the inner fixing page, avoiding the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly in the previous method of fixing by bolts.
[0042] Among them, a main connecting rod 6 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer mounting page 5 close to the generator fixing frame 2. One end of the main connecting rod 6 close to the inner fixing page 4 can be threadedly connected to the inner fixing page 4. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the main connecting rod 6 away from the inner fixing page 4. A secondary connecting rod 7 is rotatably installed on the connecting plate 8, and the secondary connecting rod 7 can be threadedly connected to the generator fixing frame 2. In the protective support frame 1 of the present invention, the main connecting rod 6 in the outer mounting page 5 rotates, so that the bottom of the main connecting rod 6 is threadedly connected inside the inner fixing page 4. The protective support frame 1 and the generator fixing frame 2 are quickly connected and fixed by threads and are convenient to disassemble. The main connecting rod 6 is screwed into the inner fixing page 4, and the upper and lower main connecting rods 6 are respectively inserted into the inner fixing page 4 from the upper and lower sides, making the connection between the protective support frame 1 and the generator fixing frame 2 more stable and reducing the possibility of the protective support frame 1 falling off due to vibration. Moreover, the lower end of the secondary connecting rod 7 on the main connecting rod 6 is threadedly connected to the generator fixing frame 2, further increasing the connection stability between the outer mounting page 5 and the generator fixing frame 2.
