Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine gearbox technology, specifically to an induction hardening process for a large wind turbine internal gear ring. Background Technology

[0002] Induction hardening of large wind turbine internal gear rings is a surface heat treatment process for mechanical parts. It transforms supercooled austenite into martensite or bainite, followed by tempering at different temperatures, to improve the gear's strength, hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength, and toughness. This process is mainly used for gears subjected to alternating loads, employing techniques such as flame hardening, induction hardening, contact resistance heating hardening, or laser hardening to achieve surface strengthening, resulting in minimal deformation.

[0003] Currently, large wind turbine gearboxes are large in size, resulting in a very large diameter of the internal gear ring inside. Industry research has found that the maximum diameter of the internal gear ring in a large wind turbine gearbox is 3.77 meters. Traditional heating methods for the internal gear ring cannot meet the heating requirements of such a large internal gear ring. Therefore, an induction hardening process for large wind turbine internal gear rings is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an induction hardening process for large wind turbine internal gear rings to solve the problem that the large size of current large wind turbine gearboxes results in a very large diameter of the internal gear rings inside the gearboxes. Industry research has found that the maximum diameter of the internal gear rings in large wind turbine gearboxes is 3.77 meters, and traditional internal gear ring heating methods cannot meet the technical requirements for heating such large internal gear rings.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A large-scale wind turbine internal gear ring induction hardening process, including a testing platform.

S5. Walking sensor box walking quenching: The walking sensor box inserted into the inner gear ring is driven to rotate by a servo motor and slowly move along the surface of the inner gear ring. During the movement of the walking sensor box, the surface of the inner gear ring is quenched at high temperature using a U-shaped high-temperature copper tube and then cooled with air to complete the quenching of the inner gear ring.

[0006] The large wind turbine internal gear ring induction hardening process described in steps S1-S2 above is specifically completed by a large wind turbine internal gear ring induction hardening device. The large wind turbine internal gear ring induction hardening device includes a fixed base, a side support rib plate that stands upright on the top surface of the fixed base is fixed to the top of the fixed base, a top support rib plate is fixed to the top of the side support rib plate, an electric push rod is fixedly installed to the top of the top support rib plate, a push rod extends downward from the electric push rod, and a reciprocating swing walking induction box is installed at the bottom end of the push rod.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the walking sensor box includes a second servo motor fixed to the bottom end of the push rod, the second servo motor having an output shaft extending downwards, and a turntable fixedly mounted on the surface of the output shaft of the second servo motor.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the turntable is provided with a first joint, the top end of the first joint is provided with a movable joint, the surface of the movable joint is rotatably connected to a second joint, a compression spring is provided between the second joint and the first joint for elastic extension, and the top end of the second joint is rotatably connected to a traveling gear.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the traveling gear includes a rotating shaft mounted on the top of the second joint. The top of the rotating shaft is provided with a threaded section, and a gear limiting spacer is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded section. Two sensor box locking tongues are provided on the surface of the traveling sensor box. The sensor box locking tongues are mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft. The two sensor box locking tongues are located on the surface of the gear limiting spacer. Locking nuts are installed on the outer wall of the sensor box locking tongues.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a U-shaped high-temperature copper tube is provided on the surface of the walking sensor box, and the U-shaped high-temperature copper tube is non-contact induction heated to the surface of the wind turbine inner gear ring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a high-speed moving camera is provided on the surface of the walking sensor box.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the walking sensor box is locked to the side of the walking gear by the sensor box locking tongue, and the angle of the walking sensor box on the side of the walking gear is adjustable.

[0015] This invention first places a gear ring at the top of a base; the gear ring at the top of the base is clamped and fixed to the top of the base by a side clamping plate, a front clamping plate, and a rear baffle; an electric push rod pushes a push rod downwards, and the servo motor two, the turntable, and the walking sensor box at the bottom of the push rod extend into the inner gear ring; the walking sensor box, which extends into the inner gear ring, elastically extends close to the surface of the inner gear ring through a first joint, a compression spring, and a second joint; the walking sensor box, which extends into the inner gear ring, is driven to rotate by the servo motor two and moves slowly along the surface of the inner gear ring; during the movement of the walking sensor box, the surface of the inner gear ring is quenched at high temperature using a U-shaped high-temperature copper tube and then cooled with air, thus completing the quenching of the inner gear ring.

[0016] Specifically, the travel sensor box of the present invention extends into the inner gear ring through the elastic extension of the first joint, the compression spring, and the second joint, so that the travel sensor box is close to the surface of the inner gear ring; and the travel gear rolls along the surface of the inner gear ring. At this time, through the structural design of the rotating shaft, the threaded section, the gear limiting spacer, the sensor box locking tongue, and the locking nut, the travel sensor box can be locked and fixed to the side of the travel gear by the sensor box locking tongue while the travel gear rotates, and maintain the adjusted angle, which is conducive to the heating and quenching of the inner ring of the large wind turbine gearbox.

[0017] By heating the internal gear ring locally while it is moving, the heated surface of the internal gear ring is rapidly cooled by the air, thus achieving the air quenching process. The walking sensor box is driven by a servo motor to slowly rotate along the surface of the internal gear ring at a uniform speed. One rotation can complete the heating of the entire internal gear ring, ensuring that no part of the large gear ring is missed.

[0018] This invention utilizes a high-speed moving camera in conjunction with a U-shaped high-temperature copper tube. The high-speed moving camera detects whether the walking sensor box moves on the surface of the internal gear ring. When the camera detects movement, the U-shaped high-temperature copper tube generates high temperature, achieving automated induction heating. Simultaneously, through electromagnetic induction, a high-frequency current flows through the copper tube coil, generating an alternating magnetic field that rapidly heats the gear surface, completing the quenching process. This technology, with its advantages of non-contact heating, high efficiency and energy saving, and precise temperature control, has become the mainstream choice for heat treatment of transmission components such as gears and sprockets. Two copper tubes (induction coils) are wound into a ring or contoured structure. After passing a 20-400kHz high-frequency current, an alternating magnetic field is generated that penetrates the gear surface. Eddy current effect and skin effect: Eddy currents are generated on the gear (conductive metal) surface due to electromagnetic induction. The eddy current energy is converted into heat energy, and the heating rate can reach 50-200℃ per second. The higher the frequency, the more concentrated the heat is on the surface (skin depth is only 0.1-2mm), which is suitable for quenching the gear surface and maintaining the core toughness.
