[0002] As the impact of the greenhouse effect becomes increasingly severe, people are increasingly prioritizing clean energy, leading to a growing demand for wind turbines. When wind blows on the blades of existing wind turbines, they drive the connected main shaft to rotate, converting the wind energy into mechanical energy. The main shaft then rotates the rotor inside the generator, which cuts through the magnetic lines of flux in the stator's magnetic field, generating an induced electromotive force (EMF), thereby converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy can then be transmitted to the power grid or used for other electrical devices.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] As the impact of the greenhouse effect becomes increasingly severe, people are increasingly prioritizing clean energy, leading to a growing demand for wind turbines. When wind blows on the blades of existing wind turbines, they drive the connected main shaft to rotate, converting the wind energy into mechanical energy. The main shaft then rotates the rotor inside the generator, which cuts through the magnetic lines of flux in the stator's magnetic field, generating an induced electromotive force (EMF), thereby converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy can then be transmitted to the power grid or used for other electrical devices.
[0037] Wind turbine blades rotate at a relatively low speed, while the generator requires a higher speed for efficient power generation. Existing wind turbines typically use a gearbox to boost the low main shaft speed to the required high generator speed to enable normal power generation. However, over time, the gearbox heats up, generating abnormal noise and significantly shortening its lifespan.
[0038] The inventors have discovered that an increase in temperature inside the gearbox will cause the viscosity of the lubricating oil to decrease, resulting in the thinning of the lubricating protective film formed between the friction surfaces, a decrease in load-bearing capacity, and an inability to effectively isolate direct metal contact between components such as gears and bearings, increasing the risk of wear, aggravating tooth surface wear, and causing scratches, pits, broken teeth and other problems, which in turn cause abnormal noises in the gearbox and seriously affect the life of the gearbox.
[0039] In view of this, the present invention proposes a wind power generation equipment with a heat dissipation system, which is intended to reduce the temperature of a gear box in a wind turbine generator set.
[0040] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment of the present invention, the wind turbine generator 100 with a heat dissipation system includes a nacelle 1 and blades 2. A generator and a gearbox 3 are arranged inside the nacelle 1. The wind turbine generator 100 with a heat dissipation system also includes a heat dissipation system 4. The heat dissipation system 4 includes a first heat dissipation module 41 and a second heat dissipation module 42. The first heat dissipation module 41 includes a first heat dissipation component 411 and a recycling pipeline 412. The recycling pipeline 412 includes an air intake section 4121, a cooling section 4122 and a return section 4123 connected in sequence. The end of the air intake section 4121 away from the cooling section 4122 is connected to the top wall of the gearbox 3 so that the vaporized lubricating oil in the gearbox 3 can enter the air intake section 4121 and move from the air intake section 4121 to the cooling section 4122. The first heat dissipation component 411 is connected to the cooling section 4122 to reduce the temperature of the cooling section 4122 so that the gas in the cooling section 4122 The lubricating oil is converted into liquid lubricating oil, and the end of the reflux section 4123 away from the cooling section 4122 is connected to the side wall of the gear box 3, so that the liquid lubricating oil can return to the gear box 3 through the reflux section 4123; the second heat dissipation module 42 includes a second heat dissipation component 421, a cooling circulation pipeline 422 and an oil pump 423 arranged on the cooling circulation pipeline 422. The cooling circulation pipeline 422 includes an oil inlet section 4221, a heat dissipation section 4222 and an oil return section 4223 connected in sequence. The end of the oil inlet section 4221 away from the heat dissipation section 4222 is connected to the bottom of the gear box 3, the second heat dissipation component 421 is connected to the heat dissipation section 4222, and is used to reduce the temperature of the heat dissipation section 4222. The end of the oil return section 4223 away from the heat dissipation section 4222 is connected to the gear box 3, and the oil pump 423 is used to drive the lubricating oil flowing into the oil inlet section 4221 to flow through the cooling section 4122 and the oil return section 4223 in sequence and then flow into the gear box 3.
[0041] The inventors have also discovered that when the gearbox 3 is subjected to prolonged ultra-high temperature operation or overload, the lubricating oil temperature can rise dramatically. If the temperature exceeds the boiling point or flash point of the lubricating oil, the light components in the lubricating oil may vaporize, leading to oil vaporization. This phenomenon reduces the amount of lubricating oil, depriving components like gears and bearings of adequate lubrication, exacerbating wear and causing failures, and seriously shortening the life of the gearbox 3. In this embodiment, the vaporized lubricating oil is recovered through the air intake section 4121, and the gaseous lubricating oil flows into the cooling section 4122 through the air intake section 4121. The first heat dissipation component 411 converts the gaseous lubricating oil in the cooling section 4122 into liquid lubricating oil by lowering the temperature of the cooling section 4122. The temperature of the lubricating oil itself is reduced and restored to liquid state, and it flows back into the gear box 3 through the reflux section 4123. The refluxed lubricating oil can not only be reused for lubricating the parts in the gear box 3, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient lubricating oil in the gear box 3 for lubrication, but also because the temperature of the lubricating oil drops, the viscosity will increase, making it easier to form an oil film on the surface of parts such as gears and bearings, thereby reducing the wear of these parts and extending their service life; and the lubricating oil after the temperature drops flows back to the gear box 3 can also exchange heat with the parts in the gear box 3, thereby reducing the temperature of the gear box 3, thereby extending the life of the gear box 3; the liquid lubricating oil in the gear box 3 is sucked into the oil inlet section 4221 by the action of the oil pump 423, and then moves from the oil inlet section 4221 to the heat dissipation section 4222, and cools the heat dissipation section 4222 through the second heat dissipation component 421, thereby reducing the temperature of the lubricating oil in the heat dissipation section 4222, and the lubricating oil with reduced temperature enters the gear box 3 from the oil return section 4223 under the drive of the oil pump 423. The cooled lubricating oil can not only provide better lubrication effect for the parts in the gear box 3, but also can exchange heat with the parts in the gear box 3, thereby reducing the temperature of the gear box 3, and further extending the life of the gear box 3. It should be noted that the first heat dissipation component 411 and the second heat dissipation component 421 can be existing semiconductor refrigeration plates or other components, and are not limited here; the oil pump 423 can be implemented using the existing oil pump 423, and the connection relationship between the cabin 1, blades 2, hub, generator and gearbox 3 can be implemented using the existing connection method, which will not be repeated here.
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the cooling section 4122 is arranged in a wavy, zigzag pattern, forming multiple peaks 41221 and troughs 41222. This wavy, zigzag pattern increases the contact area between the cooling section 4122 and the first heat sink 411, allowing the first heat sink 411 to cool more lubricating oil at the same time, improving the cooling effect. Furthermore, the wavy, zigzag pattern of the cooling section 4122 prolongs the lubricating oil's path. While maintaining the lubricating oil's speed, the lubricating oil's time within the cooling section 4122 is prolonged, allowing the lubricating oil to exchange heat with the first heat sink 411 for a longer period of time. This effectively reduces the lubricating oil's temperature, allowing the cooler lubricating oil to flow from the return section 4123 into the gearbox 3, providing better lubrication for the gears and bearings, while also removing some of the heat generated by the gears and bearings. This further reduces the temperature of the gearbox 3 and extends its lifespan. The cooling section 4122 can be arranged in a wavy, zigzag pattern within a horizontal plane.
[0043] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, the cooling section 4122 floats in the vertical direction, and the recycling pipeline 412 also includes a plurality of recovery sections 4124. The number of the recovery sections 4124 is the same as that of the troughs 41222 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. One end of the recovery section 4124 is connected to the trough 41222, and the other end of the recovery section 4124 is connected to the reflux section 4123. The cooling section 4122 floats in the vertical direction, so that the lubricating oil converted into liquid naturally flows to the trough 41222 under the action of gravity. Since a recovery section 4124 is provided at the bottom of each trough 41222, the liquid lubricating oil located in the trough 41222 can enter the reflux section 4123 through the recovery section 4124, and then smoothly flow into the gear box 3 from the reflux section 4123. Since the high-temperature gaseous lubricating oil will float, it basically will not enter the reflux section 4123 through the recovery section 4124. Therefore, this arrangement realizes the separation of gaseous lubricating oil and liquid lubricating oil. As the gaseous lubricating oil moves in the cooling section 4122, a part of the gaseous lubricating oil is converted into liquid lubricating oil and enters the gear through the recovery section 4124 and the reflux section 4123. In gearbox 3, the lubricating oil still in a gaseous state continues to move in cooling section 4122 and continuously converts into liquid lubricating oil. Ideally, the gaseous lubricating oil is completely converted into liquid lubricating oil before or after the entire cooling section 4122. In actual use, some gaseous lubricating oil may still be in a gaseous state after passing through cooling section 4122 and enter gearbox 3 through reflux section 4123. However, the amount of this gaseous lubricating oil is significantly reduced compared to the amount before entering cooling section 4122. The conversion of most gaseous lubricating oil into liquid lubricating oil ensures that there is sufficient lubricating oil in gearbox 3. By exchanging heat with components such as gears and bearings in gearbox 3, the heat of gearbox 3 is reduced, and the life of gearbox 3 can still be extended. The gaseous lubricating oil in gearbox 3 enters intake section 4121 again, and the cycle repeats.
[0044] See also Figure 2In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation module 41 includes a first pump body 4111, a first heat dissipation element 4112 and a first heat dissipation pipeline 4113. The first pump body 4111 is arranged in the first heat dissipation pipeline 4113. The first heat dissipation element 4112 is arranged outside the cabin 1. The first heat dissipation pipeline 4113 includes a first heat exchange section 41131, a first cooling section 41132 and a first connecting section 41133 connecting the first heat exchange section 41131 and the first cooling section 41132. The first heat exchange section 41131 is connected to the cooling section 4122. The cabin 1 is provided with a first through hole corresponding to the first heat dissipation element 4112. The first cooling section 41132 is connected to the first heat dissipation element 4112 through the first through hole. The first pump body 4111 is used to drive the fluid in the first heat dissipation pipeline 4113 to move in the first heat dissipation pipeline 4113. When the fluid flows through the first heat exchange section 41131, the fluid in the first heat exchange section 41131 exchanges heat with the cooling section 4122. To be more precise, the fluid in the first heat exchange section 41131 exchanges heat with the lubricating oil in the cooling section 4122. This part of the fluid absorbs the heat of the lubricating oil, the fluid temperature increases, and the lubricating oil temperature decreases. The first pump body 4111 then drives this part of the fluid to pass through the first connecting section 41133 into the first cooling section 41132. The fluid in the first cooling section 41132 exchanges heat with the first heat dissipation element 4112, and the fluid temperature drops. The fluid after the temperature drops enters the first heat exchange section 41131 through the first connecting section 41133, and this reciprocating process effectively reduces the temperature of the lubricating oil in the cooling section 4122. It should be noted that the temperature of the first heat sink 4112 rises. The first heat sink 4112 is located outside the cabin 1 and directly exchanges heat with the external natural environment, thereby reducing the temperature of the first heat sink 4112. The first heat sink 4112 can be a metal part, and the first heat sink 4112 can be a copper heat sink or an aluminum heat sink. It should also be noted that the first pump body 4111 can be a water pump, and the fluid flowing in the first heat dissipation pipe 4113 is water; the first pump body 4111 can also be an electromagnetic pump, and the fluid flowing in the first heat dissipation pipe 4113 is liquid metal; wherein, the electromagnetic pump is based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and the Lorentz force. When current passes through a conductor, it will be affected by a force (Lorentz force) in a magnetic field. For electromagnetic pumps, when a conductive fluid (such as an electrolyte, molten metal, etc.) flows in a magnetic field and current flows through it, the current and magnetic field interact to generate a force perpendicular to both directions, thereby promoting the movement of the fluid and achieving the purpose of conveying the fluid; liquid metal has a higher thermal conductivity than water, and using liquid metal in conjunction with an electromagnetic pump to dissipate heat from the lubricating oil can achieve a better heat dissipation effect; the liquid metal can be an existing gallium-indium-tin alloy or lead-bismuth eutectic alloy, etc., and there is no restriction here.
[0045] See also Figure 4In one embodiment, a plurality of first heat dissipation fins 41121 are provided on the side of the first heat dissipation element 4112 away from the first through hole, and the plurality of first heat dissipation fins 41121 extend along the axial direction of the hub connected to the blade 2, so that a first air flow channel 41122 is formed between any two adjacent first heat dissipation fins 41121, and the first air flow channel 41122 extends along the axial direction of the hub connected to the blade 2; by providing a plurality of heat dissipation fins, the contact area between the first heat dissipation element 4112 and the external environment is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the first heat dissipation element 4112 is improved, wherein the first air flow channel 41122 extends along the axial direction of the hub connected to the blade 2, so that the wind that blows the blade 2 to rotate can also flow in the first air flow channel 41122, accelerate the flow rate of the gas in the first air flow channel 41122, take away the heat on the first heat dissipation element 4112 more quickly, and improve the heat dissipation effect of the first heat dissipation element 4112.
[0046] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first heat exchange section 41131 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner; wherein the first heat exchange section 41131 is arranged in a wave-like manner, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the cooling section 4122, and effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the cooling section 4122.
[0047] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first cooling section 41132 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner; the first cooling section 41132 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the first cooling section 41132 and the first heat sink 4112, and effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the first cooling section 41132 and the first heat sink 4112.
[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation module 41 further includes a first heat conducting sheet 4114. One side of the first heat conducting sheet 4114 is connected to the first heat exchange section 41131, and the other side of the first heat conducting sheet 4114 is connected to the cooling section 4122. The provision of the first heat conducting sheet 4114 facilitates connection between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the cooling section 4122. Among them, the first heat exchange section 41131 can be welded to the first heat conducting plate 4114, and the first heat exchange section 41131 can also be bonded to the first heat conducting plate 4114 by thermal conductive glue, wherein bonding to the first heat conducting plate 4114 by thermal conductive glue can effectively increase the contact area between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the first heat conducting plate 4114, because the thermal conductive glue can fill part of the gap between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the first heat conducting plate 4114, thereby increasing the connection strength between the first heat exchange section 41131 and the first heat conducting plate 4114 and the contact area for heat exchange; similarly, the cooling section 4122 can also be welded to the first heat conducting plate 4114, and the cooling section 4122 can also be bonded to the first heat conducting plate 4114 by thermal conductive glue, thereby improving the connection strength between the cooling section 4122 and the first heat conducting plate 4114 and the contact area for heat exchange. It should be noted that the first heat conducting sheet 4114 can be a copper sheet or an aluminum sheet, which is not limited here.
[0049] See also Figure 2In one embodiment, the second heat dissipation assembly 421 includes a second pump body 4211, a second heat dissipation element 4212, and a second heat dissipation pipeline 4213. The second pump body 4211 is arranged in the second heat dissipation pipeline 4213, and the second heat dissipation element 4212 is arranged outside the cabin 1. The second heat dissipation pipeline 4213 includes a second heat exchange section 42131, a second cooling section 42132, and a second connecting section 42133 connecting the second heat exchange section 42131 and the second cooling section 42132. The second heat exchange section 42131 is connected to the heat dissipation section 4222. The cabin 1 is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the second heat dissipation element 4212, and the second cooling section 42132 is connected to the second heat dissipation element 4212 through the second through hole. The second pump body 4211 is used to drive the movement of the fluid in the second heat dissipation pipeline 4213. When the fluid is in the second heat exchange section 42131, the fluid in the second heat exchange section 42131 exchanges heat with the lubricating oil in the heat dissipation section 4222. The temperature of the fluid in the second heat exchange section 42131 increases, and the temperature of the lubricating oil in the heat dissipation section 4222 decreases. The second pump body 4211 then drives this part of the fluid to enter the second cooling section 42132 through the second connecting section 42133. The fluid in the second cooling section 42132 exchanges heat with the second heat dissipation element 4212. The temperature of the fluid in the second cooling section 42132 decreases, and the temperature of the second heat dissipation element 4212 increases. The second pump body 4211 then drives this part of the fluid to flow through the second connecting section 42133 into the second heat exchange section 42131, and so on. This reciprocating process effectively reduces the temperature of the lubricating oil, and further reduces the temperature of the gearbox 3. The second pump body 4211 can be a water pump, and the fluid flowing in the second heat dissipation pipe 4213 can be water. The second pump body 4211 can be an electromagnetic pump, and the fluid flowing in the second heat dissipation pipe 4213 can be liquid metal. The second heat sink 4212 absorbs heat from the fluid in the second cooling section 42132, and its temperature rises. Because the second heat sink 4212 is located outside the nacelle 1, it exchanges heat with the external environment, thereby reducing its temperature. This ensures that the second heat sink 4212 can effectively reduce the temperature of the fluid in the second cooling section 42132. The second heat sink 4212 can be either copper or aluminum.

[0051] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the second heat exchange section 42131 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner; wherein the second heat exchange section 42131 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner, thereby effectively improving the contact area between the second heat exchange section 42131 and the heat dissipation section 4222, and effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the second heat exchange section 42131 and the heat dissipation section 4222.
[0052] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the second cooling section 42132 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner; wherein the second cooling section 42132 is arranged in a wave-like and tortuous manner, thereby effectively improving the contact area between the second cooling section 42132 and the second heat dissipation element 4212, and effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the second cooling section 42132 and the second heat dissipation element 4212.

The provision of the second heat conductive sheet 424 facilitates the connection between the second heat exchange section 42131 and the heat dissipation section 4222. The second heat exchange section 42131 can be welded to the second heat conductive sheet 424, or it can be bonded to the second heat conductive sheet 424 using thermal adhesive, thereby increasing the connection strength and contact area between the second heat exchange section 42131 and the second heat conductive sheet 424. Similarly, the heat dissipation section 4222 can be welded to the second heat conductive sheet 424, or it can be bonded to the second heat conductive sheet 424 using thermal adhesive, thereby increasing the connection strength and contact area between the heat dissipation section 4222 and the second heat conductive sheet 424.
[0054] See also Figures 1 to 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wind power generation device 100 with a heat dissipation system further includes a driving member 5 and a connecting piece 6 that is transmission-connected to the driving member 5. The driving member 5 is used to drive the connecting piece 6 to move. The connecting piece 6 has a connection position and a separation position. When the connecting piece 6 is in the connection position, one end of the connecting piece 6 is connected to the first heat conducting piece 4114, and the other end of the connecting piece 6 is connected to the second heat conducting piece 424; when the connecting piece 6 is in the separation position, the connecting piece 6 is spaced apart from the first heat conducting piece 4114 and the second heat conducting piece 424; the wind power generation device 100 with a heat dissipation system further includes a liquid level detector, which is located inside the gear box 3 and is used to detect the liquid level of the lubricating oil. If the liquid level of the lubricating oil is greater than the preset liquid level height, it means that the amount of liquid lubricating oil in the gear box 3 is sufficient, that is, there is no or only a small amount of gaseous lubricating oil. At this time, the driving member 5 drives the connecting piece 6 to move to the connection position, so that the first heat dissipation component 411 and the second heat dissipation component 421 can cool the lubricating oil in the gear box 3 together, thereby improving the cooling efficiency, that is, the heat dissipation section 4 The lubricating oil in 222 can not only exchange heat with the fluid in the second heat exchange section 42131 through the second heat conducting plate 424, but also exchange heat with the fluid in the first heat exchange section 41131 through the second heat conducting plate 424, the connecting plate 6 and the first heat conducting plate 4114, thereby better reducing the temperature of the lubricating oil in the heat dissipation section 4222; when the liquid level detector detects that the liquid level of the liquid lubricating oil in the gear box 3 is less than or equal to the preset liquid level height, it means that the liquid lubricating oil in the gear box 3 is about to be insufficient or is insufficient. At this time, the driving member 5 is controlled to drive the connecting plate 6 to separate from the first heat conducting plate 4114 and the second heat conducting plate 424, so that the first heat dissipation module 41 can focus on converting the gaseous lubricating oil into liquid lubricating oil, so as to increase the amount of liquid lubricating oil in the gear box 3, reduce the wear of components such as gears and bearings in the gear box 3, and extend the life of the gear box 3. In addition, more liquid lubricating oil can better absorb the heat generated by components such as gears and bearings in the gear box 3, thereby effectively reducing the heat of the gear box 3. It should be noted that the driving member 5 can be a motor or an electric push rod. For example, the electric push rod has its output shaft connected to the connecting piece 6, enabling the electric push rod to drive the first connecting piece 6 to move. The first connecting piece 6 can be made of either copper or aluminum, without limitation. It should also be noted that the preset liquid level is the minimum level of lubricating oil required to ensure adequate lubrication of the components within the gearbox 3. The liquid level detector can be implemented using an existing liquid level detector.
