Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wind power gearboxes, in particular to a rear gearbox of a wind power gearbox. Background Art
[0002] A wind turbine gearbox is a crucial mechanical component in wind power generation. Its primary function is to transmit the wind power generated by the rotor to the generator, achieving the desired speed. Wind turbine gearboxes, categorized as TA models, are power systems or devices with high power, high torque, and high output characteristics. They are relatively large and typically consist of a front gearbox and a rear gearbox connected by bolts. The rear gearbox is typically the component of the gearbox system that is directly connected to the output shaft.
[0003] The existing rear gearbox of a wind turbine gearbox generally has three positioning holes for locating the position of the planetary gears. There are generally separate through-grooves on the surfaces of the three positioning holes. When the wind turbine gearbox is put into use, lubricating liquid can be injected from the through-grooves to lubricate the positioning holes and the output shaft of the planetary gear to ensure the smooth rotation of the planetary gears; however, under normal circumstances, the three through-grooves are relatively small and require specific tools for injection, and the three positioning holes generally have different diameters. Due to usage requirements, the volume of lubricating liquid required for a single injection is different. The operator needs to inject different volumes of lubricating liquid at a specific position. The through-grooves need to be located during the process, and the volume of the lubricating liquid to be injected needs to be measured multiple times. The overall process requires high accuracy. The lubricating liquid may overflow due to a slight offset of the injection equipment or improper injection force by the operator. It is difficult to ensure that all the lubricating liquid is injected into the specified position, and the lubrication effect cannot be guaranteed.
