For example, they may refer to fixed connection or disposition, detachable connection or disposition, or integral connection or disposition. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0026] A braking device for a wind turbine generator, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a chassis 2, wherein the two sides of the chassis 2 are respectively fixedly connected with shaft sleeves 3, and a rotating shaft 4 is rotatably inserted in the shaft sleeve 3, and the end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected with a fan blade 1, and the inner top of the chassis 2 is fixed with a braking mechanism 6 by bolts, and the front of the braking mechanism 6 is rotatably connected with an auxiliary braking assembly 7, and the top outer wall of the chassis 2 is connected with a hydraulic cylinder 5 by bolts, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is connected to the driving end of the braking mechanism 6.

[0027] In order to promote the effective braking of the rotating shaft 4 of the fan blade 1, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the brake mechanism 6 includes a connecting shaft 601, a front plate 602, a guide plate 603, a fixing member 604, a rear plate 605, a brake ring 606, a guide hole 1 607, a limit bar 608, a guide hole 2 609, a rotating shaft 610, a guide shaft 611, a U-shaped plate 612, a connecting plate 613, a sector tooth 614 and a rack plate 615, and the fixing member 604 is fixed to the top inner wall of the chassis 2 by bolts, the rear plate 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing member 604, the front plate 602 is connected to the front side of the rear plate 605 by bolts, and the guide plate 603 is connected to the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 by a thread;

[0028] The guide plate 603 and the top of the rear plate 605 slide perpendicularly to each other. The U-shaped plate 612 is fixedly connected to both sides of the guide plate 603. The connecting plate 613 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U end of the U-shaped plate 612. The sector teeth 614 are rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting plate 613 via the guide shaft 611. The rotating shaft 610 is fixedly connected to both inner sides of the rear plate 605. The sector teeth 614 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 610.

The connecting holes 703 are provided on both sides of the front surface of the front plate 602, and the arc-shaped hole 704 is provided on the side of the front plate 602 above the connecting holes 703.
