TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of electrical connection of wind power equipment, in particular to a plug-in copper-aluminum wind power connector assembly and a connector. BACKGROUND
[0002] The plug-in copper-aluminum wind power connector assembly is a core connecting component of a wind turbine generator system power transmission system, and bears the functions of current transmission and signal interaction between a nacelle power generation unit and a converter, and between the converter and a tower base power distribution system. The connection reliability directly determines the operation stability, power generation efficiency and safety protection level of the wind power equipment.
[0003] The core contradiction of the plug-in copper-aluminum wind power connector assembly is that the wind power field has rigid requirements for low contact resistance, high vibration resistance, strong environmental adaptability and long service life of the heterogeneous conductor connection, which is in fundamental conflict with the instability of traditional copper-aluminum connector contact, the deficiency of vibration protection and poor adaptability. The traditional scheme relies on a single contact structure, a separate locking unit and a rough sealing design, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of dense wind power equipment components, variable working conditions and flexible adaptation of different specifications of wind turbines, resulting in two defects in the prior art. First, the copper-aluminum contact stability and vibration resistance are insufficient, which can easily cause safety hazards. The traditional copper-aluminum direct compression or simple plating structure is prone to electrochemical corrosion in the humid and salt spray environment of wind power, generating a high-resistance oxide layer to cause a sharp increase in contact resistance. The single buckle and threaded locking structure cannot withstand wideband vibration, resulting in locking fatigue and male and female end loosening. Vibration aggravates the wear and tear of the contact surface, forming a vicious cycle, and eventually leading to power failure, overheating and other faults. The lack of precise guide structure also causes misalignment of the connection, further aggravating the problem of uneven contact wear and current distribution. Second, the harsh environment adaptation and installation compatibility are insufficient, resulting in protection failure and assembly difficulty. The traditional single O-ring sealing design is prone to aging and leakage under the high and low temperature, salt spray and ultraviolet conditions of wind power, causing component corrosion or short circuit. The ordinary insulating shell has poor weather resistance and cannot guarantee long-term insulation protection. The simple bolt fixing structure has a small bonding area and is prone to displacement under vibration. It is difficult to adapt to the installation of different specifications of wind power equipment. Part of the electronic detection protection system fails under power failure conditions and needs to be reset manually, which can easily cause secondary faults in unattended wind power fields. In summary, the existing product cannot meet the core needs of high reliability, high vibration resistance, strong protection and long service life in the wind power field. Therefore, it is an urgent need to develop a copper-aluminum connector assembly that adapts to the complex working conditions of wind power.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a pluggable copper-aluminum wind power connector assembly, including a male pluggable assembly 100 and a female fixing assembly 200, with the female fixing assembly 200 installed on one side of the outer wall of the male pluggable assembly 100.
[0036] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the male plug-in assembly 100 includes three wedge-shaped drive blocks 104, a miniature eccentric pendulum 116, and a hard locking pin 124. The three wedge-shaped drive blocks 104 adopt a double-sloped design, with the outer slope angle being 30 degrees and the inner slope angle being 15 degrees. The three wedge-shaped drive blocks 104 are used for double-wedge progressive locking. A memory alloy temperature-sensing pad 105 is embedded on one side of the outer wall of each of the three wedge-shaped drive blocks 104. The three memory alloy temperature-sensing pads 105 are used to compensate for the pressure attenuation caused by thermal expansion during phase change expansion at high temperatures. The miniature eccentric pendulum 116 is used to accurately sense wideband vibration and pull the hard locking pin 124 to convert the vibration signal into mechanical unlocking power. The hard locking pin 124 is used for ultimate anti-loosening under vibration conditions, and multiple meshing tooth grooves are opened on one end of the outer wall of the hard locking pin 124.
[0037] As shown in Figures 12-13 The female seat fixing assembly 200 includes three double-wedge guide rail grooves 204 and a lock ring 209. The outer grooves of the three double-wedge guide rail grooves 204 are thirty-degree wedge angles, and the inner grooves are fifteen-degree wedge angles. The outer grooves of the three double-wedge guide rail grooves 204 are used for quick correction of plugging deviation, and the inner grooves are used to achieve quick radial holding force. The inner ring of the lock ring 209 is annularly distributed with a plurality of small tooth grooves, and the small tooth grooves of the lock ring 209 are used for precise alignment and engagement with the meshing tooth grooves of the hard locking pin 124.
[0038] The core contradiction of the plug-in copper-aluminum wind power connector assembly in this embodiment is the rigid demand of the wind power field for heterogeneous conductor connection with low contact resistance, high vibration resistance, strong environmental adaptability, and long service life, which is in fundamental conflict with the instability of traditional copper-aluminum connector contact, insufficient vibration protection, and poor adaptability. The traditional scheme relies on a single contact structure, a separate locking unit, and a extensive sealing design, which is difficult to adapt to the needs of dense wind power equipment elements, variable working conditions, and flexible adaptation of different specifications of wind turbines, resulting in two defects in the existing technology. First, the copper-aluminum contact stability and vibration resistance are insufficient, which can easily cause safety hazards. The traditional copper-aluminum direct compression or simple plating structure is prone to electrochemical corrosion in the humid and salt spray environment of wind power, generating a high-resistance oxide layer that causes the contact resistance to skyrocket. Single buckle and threaded locking structure are difficult to withstand wideband vibration, resulting in locking fatigue, male and female end loosening, and exacerbating the contact surface fretting wear, forming a vicious cycle that eventually leads to power failure, overheating, and other faults. Lack of precise guide structure also causes misalignment of the connection, further exacerbating contact wear and uneven current distribution. Second, the harsh environment adaptation and installation compatibility are insufficient, leading to protection failure and assembly difficulty. The traditional single O-ring 203 sealing design is prone to aging and leakage in high and low temperature, salt spray, and ultraviolet conditions of wind power, causing component corrosion or short circuit. The ordinary insulating shell has poor weather resistance and cannot guarantee long-term insulation protection. The simple bolt fixing structure has a small bonding area and is prone to displacement under vibration, and it is difficult to adapt to the installation of different specifications of wind power equipment. Part of the electronic detection protection system fails under power failure conditions and needs to be reset manually, which can easily cause secondary faults in unattended wind farms. In summary, the existing product cannot meet the core needs of high reliability, high vibration resistance, strong protection, and long service life in the wind power field. Developing a copper-aluminum connector assembly that adapts to the complex working conditions of wind power has become an urgent need in the industry.
[0039] The embodiment is completed to solve the problems of the prior art. Through the cooperation of the male plug assembly 100 and the female seat fixing assembly 200, the core defects of unstable contact, insufficient anti-vibration protection, poor environmental adaptation, and weak installation compatibility of traditional copper-aluminum wind power connectors are accurately solved, and the needs of low contact resistance, high anti-vibration, strong environmental adaptability, and long service life in the wind power field are fully met. The male plug assembly 100 is designed by integrating the micro eccentric pendulum hammer 116 and the hard locking pin 124, which realizes vibration-triggered automatic locking and prevents loosening, can resist wideband vibration, and avoid locking fatigue and loosening. The wedge-shaped driving block 104 and the double-wedge guide rail groove 204 are matched to solve the problem of docking deflection, improve assembly efficiency and component life, and realize fault early warning without additional power supply, which is suitable for unattended wind power plants. Secondly, the female seat fixing assembly 200 realizes hierarchical guidance and holding through the double-wedge guide rail groove 204, which guarantees the coaxiality of the male and female ends. The composite structure of the insulating positioning bushing 109 and the contact spring 112 blocks the copper-aluminum electrochemical corrosion, compensates the vibration and thermal expansion gap, and ensures the stability of the contact resistance. The integrated design of multiple sealing and installation flange 202 can adapt to harsh working conditions, improve installation compatibility, and adapt to different specifications of wind power equipment. The two assemblies cooperate to form a reliable closed loop of docking, locking, protection, and operation, significantly improve the connection reliability and service life, and fully meet the batch application needs in the wind power field.
[0040] According to Figures 3-4 As shown in the figure, the male plug assembly 100 further includes a male insulating shell 101, and the outer surface of the male insulating shell 101 is provided with an annular guide rail groove 102. The inner surface of the annular guide rail groove 102 is rotatably connected with an operating ring 103 through an annular protrusion. The outer wall of the operating ring 103 is fixedly connected with the opposite side of the three wedge-shaped driving blocks 104. The inner surface of the operating ring 103 is respectively connected with an annular boss 106 and a mounting base 107. A plurality of pin needles 108 are inserted between the through holes of the annular boss 106 and the mounting base 107.
[0041] In the embodiment of the application, first, the male head insulating shell 101 is integrally injection molded by PA66+30% glass fiber reinforced engineering plastic. This material has excellent mechanical strength, weather resistance and electrical insulation performance, can resist high and low temperature alternation of wind power outdoor-40℃~85℃, ultraviolet radiation and sand erosion, and solves the defects of easy aging and brittle fracture of traditional ordinary plastic shell (data reference "Engineering Plastic Performance Manual"); the annular guide groove 102 and the operating ring 103 are rotationally connected through the annular protrusions, the operating ring 103 is machined from 6061 aluminum alloy, is light in weight and strong in rigidity, can drive the three wedge-shaped driving blocks 104 to move synchronously when rotating, realizes the gradual locking of the male head and the female seat, the annular protrusions 106 and the mounting base 107 are both made of aluminum alloy, are fixed with the operating ring 103 through bolts, provide stable mounting reference for the pins 108, and ensure the accurate positioning of the pins 108.
[0042] According to Figures 5-6 As shown in the figure, the outer surface of each pin 108 is sleeved with a metal compensating bellows 110, and each metal compensating bellows 110 is used to compensate the axial and radial displacement of the pin 108 due to temperature change and fan vibration. The outer wall of each metal compensating bellows 110 is fixedly connected with the opposite side of the annular protrusion 106 and the mounting base 107, respectively. The outer surface of each pin 108 is sleeved with an insulating positioning bushing 109, and each insulating positioning bushing 109 is used to prevent short circuit and buffer the radial vibration of the corresponding pin 108. According to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the outer surface of each insulating positioning bushing 109 is connected with the inner surface of the corresponding through hole of the mounting base 107. The outer surface of each pin 108 is sleeved with a spring fixing ring 111, and the outer wall of each spring fixing ring 111 is annularly arrayed with a group of contact springs 112 at one end.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the pin 108 is made of copper alloy material, which has excellent conductivity and strong oxidation resistance, and fully meets the conductivity requirements of the copper conductor at the end of the cable. The conductivity and oxidation resistance of the material are derived from the commonly used material specifications of electrical connectors. Secondly, the metal compensating bellows 110 sleeved on the outer surface of the pin 108 is made of 304 stainless steel, which has good elastic deformation ability and can effectively compensate the axial and radial displacement of the pin 108 caused by the temperature change of the wind power equipment from -40℃ to 85℃ and the 10-2000Hz wide frequency vibration (referring to the Application Technical Specification of Stainless Steel Bellows). This avoids the loosening of the contact between the pin 108 and the jack 206. Secondly, the insulating positioning bushing 109 is made of polyether ether ketone material, which has high temperature resistance, wear resistance and excellent insulation performance. It can not only prevent short circuit between the pins 108, but also can buffer the radial vibration of the pin 108 through its own elasticity (referring to the Polymer Insulating Material Manual). This further ensures the stability of the contact. And the elastic sheet fixing ring 111 is made of stainless steel, and the contact elastic sheet 112 in the annular array is made of beryllium copper alloy, which has excellent fatigue resistance and elastic recovery ability. Through pre-compression, a stable clamping force is generated, which cooperates with the elastic sheet 208 of the female seat to form a double elastic contact, ensuring the long-term stability of the contact resistance. At the same time, the combination of the pin 108 and the contact elastic sheet 112 can reduce the risk of electrochemical corrosion and solve the problem of easy oxidation of traditional copper-aluminum direct contact.
