Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of general machinery and the field of wind power fluid equipment, and particularly relates to a constant-temperature control wind power lubricating system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the gear box of a wind power generator is mainly cooled by a matched lubricating system. The structure of the matched lubricating system generally comprises an electric pump set, a filter, a radiator, and matched pipelines. The electric pump set is mainly driven by a three-phase asynchronous motor to provide power for the lubricating system to establish flow and pressure. The three-phase asynchronous motor has two speed levels, i.e., high speed and low speed, which correspond to 4 levels and 8 levels of the motor respectively. The structure of the radiator belongs to the form of an axial flow fan. The three-phase asynchronous motor drives the fan impeller to generate air volume to take away the heat released by the finned heat exchanger, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling.

[0003] The control logic of the electric pump set is shown in Figure 1 . The electric pump is controlled at high speed and low speed. The main reason is that the oil viscosity is large at low temperature, and direct high-speed starting requires too much power for the motor. However, the actual working condition does not require such high power, and the power redundancy of the motor is too large, causing cost waste. Specifically, when the oil temperature of the gear box is greater than or equal to 5℃, the motor is started to be in low speed mode; when the oil temperature of the gear box is greater than or equal to 35℃, or the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is greater than 70℃, the motor is in high speed mode; when the oil temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 30℃, and the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 65℃, the motor is switched from high speed mode to low speed mode; when the oil temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 0℃, the motor pump is closed.

[0004] The control logic of the radiator is shown in Figure 2 . The radiator motor is started at high speed and low speed. The main reason is to consider energy saving. When the fan is not running at full power, the heat generation power of the gear box is low, and the air volume of the radiator running at low speed can meet the cooling demand. Specifically, when the oil pool temperature of the gear box is greater than 60℃ or the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is greater than 70℃, the radiator motor is started to be in low speed mode; when the oil pool temperature of the gear box is greater than 65℃ or the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is greater than 80℃, the radiator motor is started to be in high speed mode; when the oil pool temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 58℃ and the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 72℃, the radiator motor is switched from high speed mode to low speed mode; when the oil pool temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 50℃ and the high-speed bearing temperature of the gear box is less than or equal to 65℃, the radiator motor is switched from low speed mode to the closed state.

[0005] The current control logic has the following problems:

[0006] Temperature control is not accurate, and the oil temperature fluctuation range is large. Because the oil storage capacity of the wind turbine gearbox is 500-1000L+, the heat inertia brought by such oil quantity is large, and the circulating heat dissipation needs time. When the sensor tests the control point temperature, the actual oil temperature of the entire lubrication system is often much higher or lower than the control point temperature. The best working temperature range of the lubricating oil of the rolling bearing of the wind turbine gearbox is 50-75℃, and due to the first reason, the actual temperature range adjusted by the current control logic is beyond this range. When the gearbox runs for a long time beyond the best temperature range of the oil, the oil film thickness at the bearing and gear friction pair of the gearbox is not enough, the lubrication is poor, excessive wear is generated, the gearbox is damaged, the wind turbine stops running, and the power generation is affected, which causes great economic loss. When the heat sink is running in an extremely low temperature environment (usually less than-20℃), the current control logic starts the fan when the oil temperature is greater than 60℃. Due to the large temperature difference between the two heat exchange media (air temperature and oil temperature), the oil temperature of the lubrication system will decrease rapidly, and the oil will be "frozen" in a short time after passing through the heat sink. The lubricating oil of the gearbox of the wind turbine is VG320 type oil, and the lower the oil temperature, the greater the viscosity. In this working condition, the heat sink will be blocked, the heat exchange capacity will be completely lost, and the oil temperature of the gearbox will be out of control, which will directly stop the machine.

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the problems of the prior art, and disclose a constant temperature control wind power lubrication system. The heat sink is controlled by control logic and control algorithm to start, stop and run, so that the oil temperature is controlled near the ideal target temperature point. The problem of large oil temperature range fluctuation under the existing control logic can be effectively solved, and the problem of low temperature heat dissipation failure can also be solved.

[0008] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical scheme:

[0009] A constant temperature control wind power lubrication system comprises a gearbox, an electric pump group, a filter, a heat sink and a control end.

[0064] Embodiment 1

[0065] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown in the figure, a constant temperature control wind power lubrication system is shown, the constant temperature control wind power lubrication system comprises: a gear box, an electric pump group, a filter, a radiator and a control end, the gear box is connected with the electric pump group through a pipeline, the electric pump group is connected with the filter through a pipeline, the filter is connected with the radiator through a pipeline, and the radiator is connected with the gear box through a pipeline, so as to complete oil circulation.

[0066] Among them, the radiator adopts the form of axial flow fan, the fan impeller is driven by variable frequency motor to produce air volume, and the heat released by the flow through the finned heat exchanger is taken away to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation and cooling; the control end is configured to complete the control of the variable frequency motor in the radiator based on the collected radiator inlet and outlet oil temperature and the preset control algorithm, so as to realize the control of the radiator outlet oil temperature.

[0067] Preferably, when the radiator inlet oil temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the algorithm controller in the control end and the radiator variable frequency motor are started; when the radiator outlet oil temperature is maintained in the preset temperature interval, the algorithm controller controls the radiator variable frequency motor in real time based on the preset algorithm, and when the radiator outlet oil temperature is lower than the threshold value, the radiator variable frequency motor stops, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0068] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 , the algorithm controller completes the control of the radiator variable frequency motor based on the following control logic, including the following steps.

[0069] Step S1: heat load calculation, based on the radiator inlet oil temperature, flow, specific heat and radiator outlet target temperature, the heat release of the radiator heat fluid is calculated.

[0070] Specifically, the heat load calculation includes:

[0071] Heat released by the heat fluid:

[0072] (1)

[0073] Cold fluid absorbs heat:

[0074] (2)

[0075] Mass of thermal fluid:

[0076] (3)

[0077] Cold fluid mass:

[0078] (4)

[0079] Hot fluid flow rate:

[0080] (5)

[0081] In the formula: Heat release of a hot fluid (unit: kcal / h) c: Heat absorbed by cold fluid (unit: Kcal / h), d: Specific heat capacity (unit: Joules / kg℃ J / kg℃), m: Mass flow rate (unit: ... ), Radiator inlet oil temperature (unit: °C). Radiator outlet oil temperature / target temperature (unit: °C). : Cold fluid inlet temperature (unit: °C) : Cold fluid outlet temperature (unit: °C) Thermofluid density (unit: kg / ) ), Flow rate (unit: / h), Displacement (unit: mL / r) Rotational speed (unit: r / min). In this application, hot fluid corresponds to lubricating oil, and cold fluid corresponds to air medium.

[0082] Different fluid systems The flow rate can be determined through the design flow rate of the fluid system. Taking a gearbox lubrication system as an example, the design displacement of the oil pump is known, the high and low speeds of the oil pump drive motor are known, and the switching logic of the high and low speeds of the oil pump drive motor is known, so the theoretical flow rate can be calculated.

[0083] Step S2: Heat exchange balance calculation, based on the heat release of the hot fluid, to complete the cold fluid flow rate calculation.

[0084] The ideal state of heat exchange equilibrium is:

[0085] = = (6)

[0087] Cold fluid flow rate calculate:

[0088] From equation (2), we can obtain:

[0089] (7)

[0090] From equation (4), we can obtain:

[0091] (8)

[0092] By combining the equations, we can obtain:

[0093] (9)

[0094] Cold fluid flow rate (unit: Generally speaking, The assumption method is used to determine this; the algorithm program can pre-determine the assumptions. By setting numerical segments to reduce the amount of iterative calculations, we can obtain the result from equation (6). .

[0095] Q is calculated through iterative iterations in the following heat exchange series calculations. Achieving balance, and thus complete determination .

[0096] Heat exchange calculation

[0097] (10)

[0098] Where: K: Overall heat transfer coefficient (unit: W / ( •K), A: Total heat transfer area (unit: K) ), Logarithmic mean temperature difference (unit: °C).

[0099] Since the temperature difference does not change linearly during the heat exchange process, the arithmetic mean method cannot accurately calculate the actual temperature difference generated by the heat exchange. The logarithmic mean temperature difference calculation method is closer to the actual working conditions.

[0100] Logarithmic mean temperature difference:

[0101] (11)

[0102] in, : Hot side inlet temperature (unit: degrees Celsius °C) : Hot side outlet temperature (unit: degrees Celsius °C) Cold side inlet temperature (unit: degrees Celsius °C). Cold side outlet temperature (unit: degrees Celsius °C).

[0103] The logarithmic mean temperature difference calculation formula here is an idealized mean temperature difference (pure counterflow (or pure coflow)). In reality, plate-fin heat exchangers are usually cross-flow or more complex flow arrangements, so a temperature difference correction factor F needs to be introduced. F can be calculated by referring to charts or empirical formulas, and the final determination depends on the type of heat exchanger selected for the system.

[0104] Overall heat transfer coefficient calculation:

[0108] Structural parameters: fin height (Unit: mm), fin thickness (Unit: mm), fin spacing P (unit: mm), partition thickness (Unit: mm), effective fin width B, number of fin channel layers n, effective fin channel length L.

[0109] Note: Fin structure parameters are generally calculated using an assumption method, which is highly efficient. In selecting radiators for fluid systems, the fin height is typically determined based on commonly used fin types. ,thickness Spacing P, partition thickness The effective fin width B, the number of fin channel layers n, and the effective fin channel length L are determined through an iterative method, balancing cost and heat exchange requirements to achieve the desired actual calculated area. That's all.

[0110] (2) Calculation of equivalent diameter D

[0111] (13)

[0112] (3) Calculation of convective heat transfer coefficient h

[0113] Reynolds number:

[0114] (14)

[0115] Flow velocity v (unit: ) is calculated by flow rate and fin channel cross-sectional area; fluid dynamic viscosity (unit: ), Nusselt number (taking turbulent flow as an example):

[0116] (15)

[0117] Applicable conditions: turbulent flow (Re>10,000), , z=0.4 when the fluid is heated, and z=0.3 when the fluid is cooled.

[0118] Convective heat transfer coefficient h:

[0119] (16)

[0120] Fin thermal conductivity (unit: ).

[0121] (4) Fin efficiency Calculation

[0122] (17)

[0123] (18)

[0124] Simultaneous equations (10)-(18) are iterated to obtain Q, and the Q value is substituted into equation (9) to obtain the cold fluid flow rate .

[0125] Step S3: Speed calculation, based on the calculated cold fluid flow rate, complete the calculation of the speed of the frequency conversion motor of the radiator .

[0126] Specifically, step S3 includes: establishing a curve equation.

[0127] Generally: , .

[0128] The curve equation can be expressed as:

[0129] (19)

[0130] Where, fan static pressure P (unit: Pa), air volume (unit: ), is a constant, determined by the fan structure, measured by experiment, is a function related to the flow, mainly in the form of a polynomial, usually can be fitted by experimental data.

[0131] Calculate the speed :

[0132] (20)

[0133] Since the fan static pressure P in the actual operation process can be obtained by introducing the heat sink cold measurement fin structure parameters and cold fluid physical parameters, it is not further listed here.

[0134] Step S4: motor control frequency calculation, based on the obtained speed and motor type to complete the motor control frequency calculation.

[0135] Specifically, in step S4, the motor control frequency f calculation (for example, asynchronous motor):

[0136] (21)

[0137] Where, is the synchronous speed (unit: ), is the slip rate (look up table or ask the supplier or test available).

[0138] (22)

[0139] Where, is the power frequency (unit: Hz), p is the number of magnetic pole pairs of the motor.

[0140] Equation (21) (22) together

[0141] (23)

[0142] So far, the motor control frequency can be obtained.

[0143] Step S5: obtain the control signal, complete the radiator variable frequency motor control.

[0144] Step S6: correct the control signal.

[0145] Generally, the heat source (gearbox) oil storage capacity is often a single minute cycle oil volume of 8-15 times or so (may have deviation, but the relationship is correct), the whole system in the initial stage of control algorithm (estimated within 20 minutes), due to the foregoing reasons, the oil storage capacity will bring great thermal inertia to the system during the temperature rise, system inertia may cause control delay, and then produce control error, so processing this situation, the control signal correction needs to be proposed.

[0146] The correction process includes: based on the radiator inlet oil temperature and the target temperature, inertia calculation is carried out to obtain inertia compensation, and the corresponding compensation signal is obtained, based on the compensation signal and the control signal obtained in S5, the control signal integration is carried out, and the output signal completes the radiator variable frequency motor control, as shown in Figure 6

[0147] Through the present application, the following is achieved: the radiator output temperature is accurately controlled within the optimal temperature range of the gearbox; the radiator output temperature is constantly controlled near a target temperature point; within the optimal temperature range of the gearbox, the gearbox bearing and gear oil film thickness are suitable, the lubrication is sufficient, the transmission wear is minimized, the gearbox life is effectively prolonged, and the whole life cycle operation and maintenance cost is reduced.

[0148] Moreover, the following is effectively solved: when the radiator operates in an extremely low temperature environment, due to the large temperature difference between the two heat exchange media (air temperature and oil temperature), the oil temperature of the lubrication system will rapidly decrease, the oil will be "frozen" after passing through the radiator in a short time, the radiator will be blocked, the heat exchange capacity will be completely lost, the gearbox oil temperature will be out of control, and the failure of direct shutdown will occur, the lubrication system stability, compatibility and adaptability are improved, the product value is maximized, and the economic benefit of the fan is improved.

[0149] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.​
