Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine technology, specifically to a wind turbine ventilation and heat dissipation system. Background Technology

[0002] A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. Its core purpose is to produce clean, renewable electricity for society. It captures wind energy by rotating huge blades driven by the wind. The blades drive an internal generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then transmitted through cables to the power grid and finally delivered to electricity-consuming terminals such as homes, factories, and businesses, providing energy for our production and daily life.

[0003] When the wind turbine blades rotate, they capture the kinetic energy of the air and efficiently transfer it to the generator through the gearbox, thereby converting it into electrical energy. During the power generation process, a large amount of heat is generated inside the generator due to electromagnetic and resistance losses. In order to prevent the equipment from overheating and damage and to maintain its efficient and stable operation, a water-cooled jacket structure is designed on the outside of the generator casing. This jacket is connected to the external radiator through pipelines to form a closed loop. A circulation pump drives the coolant to flow continuously between the jacket and the radiator. When the coolant flows through the water-cooled jacket, it absorbs the heat generated by the generator and then delivers it to the radiator for forced cooling, releasing the heat to the external environment and ensuring that the generator operates safely within the optimal temperature range.

[0004] Existing wind turbines have gradually revealed shortcomings during use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0005] The dynamic adjustment of heat dissipation speed is poor. Specifically, due to the significant instability of outdoor wind speed, when the wind speed is high, the wind turbine blades rotate faster, the power generation increases, and the internal losses of the generator intensify, causing a sharp rise in heat generation. At this time, the demand for heat dissipation capacity also increases. Conversely, under low wind speed conditions, the blade rotation speed decreases, the power generation decreases, the heat generation decreases accordingly, and the demand for heat dissipation weakens. However, the existing wind turbine cooling system usually uses a fixed structure radiator and a circulation pump with a constant speed. The heat dissipation area of ​​the radiator and the flow rate of the coolant cannot be adjusted, causing the cooling system to operate at a fixed heat dissipation rate. Therefore, under continuous high wind speed conditions, insufficient heat dissipation capacity is prone to occur, leading to generator overheating and even insulation aging or thermal damage. On the other hand, when the wind speed is low for a long period of time, "overcooling" may occur due to excessive heat dissipation, causing the generator operating temperature to be too low and affecting its operating efficiency.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a ventilation and heat dissipation system for wind turbines. This system dynamically adjusts the heat dissipation rate based on changes in external wind speed. When wind speed increases, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​the radiator increases, and the coolant circulation speed accelerates, thus increasing the heat dissipation rate. Conversely, when wind speed decreases, the heat dissipation rate decreases accordingly. This dynamic adjustment mechanism, which responds in real-time to wind conditions, effectively avoids overheating of the generator windings and insulation damage caused by insufficient heat dissipation under high wind speed conditions. It also prevents excessively low generator operating temperatures due to overcooling during low wind speed periods, thereby ensuring that power generation efficiency remains within the optimal range and significantly extending the equipment's service life.

[0010] The heat dissipation assembly includes a supporting U-shaped plate and a rotating plate. The top of the rotating plate is provided with a ventilation slot. The interior of the rotating plate is provided with an inlet slot, an outlet slot and several connecting slots. Several heat dissipation pipes are provided in the ventilation slots.

[0011] The cabin is equipped with a transmission assembly. The connecting shaft drives one of the external fixed pipes through the transmission assembly. The connecting shaft also drives the pumping assembly. The faster the connecting shaft rotates, the larger the angle between the rotating plate and the horizontal plane, the faster the coolant circulates, and the faster the heat dissipation.

[0012] As an optimized solution, the transmission assembly includes a supporting L-shaped plate, a connecting shaft passing through and rotatably connected to the supporting L-shaped plate, a rotating shaft passing through the top of the supporting L-shaped plate, a lifting plate above the rotating shaft, a sliding rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate, the bottom end of the sliding rod extending into the rotating shaft and slidably connected to it, connecting rods hinged to opposite ends of the lifting plate, a counterweight ball fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, several connecting plates hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod, one end of the connecting plate hinged to the rotating shaft, a driving bevel gear fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the connecting shaft, a driven bevel gear meshing with the driving bevel gear fixedly fitted on the lower outer wall of the rotating shaft, a gear fixedly fitted on the outer wall of one of the outer fixed tubes, a rack slidably fitted on the inner wall of the supporting U-shaped plate meshing with the gear, the bottom end of the rack passing downward through the engine compartment and rotatably connected to the lifting plate.

[0013] As an optimized solution, a support cylinder is fixedly provided on the top of the L-shaped support plate, the outer wall of the support cylinder is an arc-shaped structure, the rotating shaft is located inside the support cylinder, and a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped support plate.

[0014] As an optimized solution, a support strip is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the supporting U-shaped plate, and the rack is slidably connected to the support strip.

[0017] As an optimized solution, a fixed plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabin, and the driven shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed plate.

[0018] As an optimized solution, an axial flow fan is fixedly installed on the top of the nacelle.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. External winds drive the blades to rotate, which, driven by the main shaft, gearbox, and connecting shaft, generates electricity. The generator produces heat, and the connecting shaft drives the driven shaft and impeller to rotate, thus circulating the coolant. The coolant is pressurized and discharged from the pump casing, enters the jacket through the connecting pipe to absorb the heat generated by the generator, and then enters the radiator pipe through the outlet pipe for cooling. The cooled coolant then enters the pump casing through the inlet pipe and is pressurized again by the impeller before being discharged. This cycle of coolant circulation cools the generator. The rotating connecting shaft also drives the rotating shaft, lifting plate, and counterweight ball to rotate. When external winds blow, the coolant... When the ambient wind speed increases, the blade rotation speed increases, the generator output increases, and the generated heat increases. The rotation speed of the connecting shaft increases with the blade rotation speed, and the rotation speed of the counterweight ball also increases. The centripetal force required for the counterweight ball increases, causing it to rise in height and thus moving the lifting plate and sliding rod downwards. This, in turn, causes the rack to slide downwards. Driven by the gears, the outer fixed tube drives the rotating plate to rotate, increasing the angle between the rotating plate and the horizontal plane. The axial flow fan continuously provides transverse airflow, increasing the total projected area of ​​the heat dissipation pipes and fins in the airflow direction. The interaction between the heat dissipation pipes and fins and the airflow... The increased contact area of ​​the blades, combined with the increased speed of the driven shaft and the connecting shaft, leads to a faster coolant circulation as the impeller speed increases. This, along with the increased total projected area of ​​the cooling pipes and fins in the airflow direction and the faster coolant circulation, enhances the generator's cooling efficiency. Conversely, when the external wind speed decreases, the reduced total projected area of ​​the cooling pipes and fins and the slower coolant circulation reduce the generator's cooling efficiency. This wind turbine's cooling speed can be dynamically adjusted according to changes in external wind speed. When the wind speed increases, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​the cooling pipes and fins increases, and the coolant circulation speed increases, resulting in improved cooling. Conversely, when the wind speed decreases, the cooling speed decreases. This dynamic adjustment mechanism, responding to wind conditions in real time, effectively avoids overheating of the generator windings and insulation damage caused by insufficient cooling under high wind speed conditions, and also prevents excessively low generator operating temperatures due to overcooling during low wind speed periods. This ensures that the power generation efficiency remains within the optimal range, significantly extending the equipment's service life.

[0021] 2. When the blade rotation speed increases to a certain value, the rotating plate rotates to a vertical position and is limited by the limiting plate. At this time, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe and heat dissipation fins is the largest, and the heat dissipation speed of the generator is the fastest. When the blade speed increases further, the rotating plate stops rotating, ensuring that the heat dissipation pipe and heat dissipation fins dissipate heat from the generator at the optimal heat dissipation speed. However, the speed of the impeller will increase with the increase of the connecting shaft speed. By further accelerating the circulation speed of the coolant, the heat dissipation speed of the generator is improved. After the rotating plate is limited by the limiting plate, the height of the counterweight ball no longer changes. When the external wind speed is extremely low, the blade stops rotating, and the counterweight ball contacts the support cylinder under the action of gravity. The support cylinder provides support for the counterweight ball. At this time, the rotating plate is in a horizontal state.

[0022] 3. The heat dissipation pipes and connecting grooves together form an S-shaped water channel, which increases the cooling path of the coolant and ensures the cooling effect of the coolant. Attached Figure Description

The interior of the rotating plate 34 is provided with an inlet groove 42, an outlet groove 46 and several connecting grooves 45. Several heat dissipation pipes 44 are provided in the ventilation groove 38. Several heat dissipation fins 43 are provided on the outer wall of the heat dissipation pipes 44.

[0038] A support cylinder 28 is fixedly provided on the top of the L-shaped support plate 12. The outer wall of the support cylinder 28 has an arc structure.

[0040] The pumping assembly 8 includes a pump housing 13, an impeller 29 is rotatably mounted inside the pump housing 13, the inlet of the pump housing 13 is connected to the outlet tank 46 through the inlet pipe 18, and the outlet of the pump housing 13 is connected to the jacket 6 through the connecting pipe 16.

The two drive wheels 30 are connected by a drive belt 31.

[0041] Each of the external fixed tubes 39 is provided with an internal fixed tube 40 that is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 34. The two internal fixed tubes 40 are connected to the liquid outlet 46 and the liquid inlet 42 respectively. The opposite ends of the supporting U-shaped plate 35 are provided with a through hole 41.

The liquid inlet pipe 18 is connected to one of the through holes 41, and the other through hole 41 is connected to the jacket 6 through the liquid outlet pipe 17.

[0042] A fixed plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabin 5, and the driven shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 15.

[0043] An axial flow fan 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the nacelle 5.

[0044] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0045] External winds cause blade 3 to rotate, which, driven by the main shaft 9, gearbox 2, and connecting shaft 10, generates electricity in generator 7. The generator 7 produces heat, which in turn drives the driven shaft 14 and impeller 29 to rotate, thus circulating the coolant. The coolant is pressurized and discharged from pump casing 13, enters jacket 6 through connecting pipe 16 to absorb the heat generated by generator 7, and then enters radiator pipe 44 through outlet pipe 17 for cooling. The cooled coolant then enters pump casing 13 through inlet pipe 18 and is pressurized again by impeller 29 and discharged. This cycle of coolant circulation cools generator 7. The rotating connecting shaft 10 also drives rotating shaft 21 and lifting plate 25. As the counterweight ball 22 rotates, the rotational speed of the blade 3 increases when the external wind speed increases, leading to increased power generation and heat generation in the generator 7. The rotational speed of the connecting shaft 10 increases with the increase in the blade 3's rotational speed, consequently increasing the rotational speed of the counterweight ball 22. This increases the centripetal force required for the counterweight ball 22, causing it to rise and move the lifting plate 25 and sliding rod 27 downwards. This, in turn, causes the rack 26 to slide downwards. Driven by the gear 32, the outer fixed pipe 39 drives the rotating plate 34 to rotate, increasing the angle between the rotating plate 34 and the horizontal plane. The axial flow fan 36 continuously provides transverse airflow. The heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 are aligned in the direction of the airflow. With the increase in total projected area, the contact area between the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 and the airflow increases. As the speed of the blade 3 increases, the speed of the driven shaft 14 increases with the speed of the connecting shaft 10, and the speed of the impeller 29 increases, thereby accelerating the circulation speed of the coolant. The increase in the total projected area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 in the airflow direction, along with the increased circulation speed of the coolant, jointly improves the heat dissipation speed of the generator 7. Conversely, when the external wind speed decreases, the decrease in the total projected area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 in the airflow direction, along with the decrease in the circulation speed of the coolant, jointly reduces the heat dissipation speed of the generator 7. The cooling speed of the wind turbine 7 can be dynamically adjusted according to changes in external wind speed. When the wind speed increases, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 increases, and the coolant circulation speed increases, thus improving the cooling speed. Conversely, when the wind speed decreases, the cooling speed decreases accordingly. Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism that responds to wind conditions in real time, it effectively avoids the problem of overheating of the generator 7 windings and thermal damage to the insulation caused by insufficient heat dissipation under high wind speed conditions, and also prevents the generator 7 from operating at too low a temperature due to excessive cooling during low wind speed periods. This ensures that the power generation efficiency is always in the optimal range and greatly extends the service life of the equipment.

[0046] When the rotational speed of blade 3 increases to a certain value, the rotating plate 34 rotates to a vertical state and is limited by the limiting plate 37. At this time, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 is the largest, and the heat dissipation speed of the generator 7 is the fastest. When the rotational speed of blade 3 increases further, the rotating plate 34 stops rotating, ensuring that the heat dissipation pipe 44 and the heat dissipation fins 43 dissipate heat to the generator 7 at the best heat dissipation speed. However, the rotational speed of impeller 29 will increase with the increase of the rotational speed of connecting shaft 10. By further accelerating the circulation speed of coolant, the heat dissipation speed of generator 7 is increased. After the rotating plate 34 is limited by the limiting plate 37, the height of counterweight ball 22 no longer changes. When the external wind speed is extremely low, blade 3 stops rotating, and counterweight ball 22 contacts the support cylinder 28 under the action of gravity. The support cylinder 28 provides support for counterweight ball 22. At this time, the rotating plate 34 is in a horizontal state.

[0047] The heat pipe 44 and the connecting groove 45 together form an S-shaped water channel, which increases the cooling path of the coolant and ensures the cooling effect of the coolant.
