Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine gearbox technology, and more particularly to a multi-stage planetary transmission doubly fed wind turbine gearbox with an integrated transmission chain. Background Technology
[0002] Wind power generation, as a clean and renewable energy source, has received widespread attention in recent years. The wind turbine gearbox is one of the most crucial components of a wind turbine generator set. With the rapid development of wind power generation, the megawatt-level capacity of wind turbine gearboxes is constantly increasing, and smaller units are continuously being replaced by larger ones. This leads to a continuous increase in the weight and volume of gearboxes, significantly increasing the costs of production, processing, transportation, and installation. Furthermore, the space within the nacelle is limited. How to achieve a gearbox capable of transmitting greater torque within a given space constraint is a key issue for gearbox designers. Against this backdrop, lightweight, compact, and integrated transmission chain gearboxes clearly offer significant advantages. Summary of the Invention

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] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0036] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention.

Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.
[0040] This invention provides a multi-stage planetary doubly-fed wind turbine gearbox with an integrated drive train, relating to the field of large-megawatt wind turbine gearboxes and applied to large-megawatt wind turbine generator sets. The multi-stage planetary doubly-fed wind turbine gearbox with an integrated drive train designed in this invention highly integrates the main shaft, bearing housing, and gearbox, employing a three-stage planetary drive plus a single-stage parallel shaft drive. It features light weight, small size, and relatively high reliability. While reducing the production and processing costs of the gearbox, it also effectively reduces the volume ratio of the wind turbine gearbox in the wind turbine generator set, saving nacelle space.
[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention discloses a multi-stage planetary transmission doubly fed wind turbine gearbox with integrated transmission chain, comprising a main shaft 2, an upper windward bearing 3 on the main shaft, a bearing housing 4, a lower windward bearing 5 on the main shaft, a first-stage planetary transmission structure 6, a first-stage gearbox 7, a second-stage planetary transmission structure 8, a second-stage gearbox 9, a third-stage planetary transmission structure 10, a third-stage gearbox 11, a fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12, and a rear gearbox 13. The main shaft 2 is assembled and connected to the bearing housing 4 via the upper windward bearing 3 and the lower windward bearing 5 on the main shaft. The first-stage gearbox 7, the second-stage gearbox 9, and the third-stage gearbox 11 are arranged sequentially from left to right and are all located between the bearing housing 4 and the rear gearbox 13. The two sides of the first-stage planetary transmission structure 6 are respectively connected to the bearing housing 4 and the first housing 7; the two sides of the second-stage planetary transmission structure 8 are respectively connected to the first housing 7 and the second housing 9; the two sides of the third-stage planetary transmission structure 10 are respectively connected to the second housing 9 and the third housing 11; the two sides of the fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12 are respectively connected to the third housing 11 and the rear housing 13; one side of the main shaft 2 is connected to the hub 1, and the other side of the main shaft 2 is connected to the input end of the first-stage planetary transmission structure 6; the output end of the first-stage planetary transmission structure 6 is connected to the input end of the second-stage planetary transmission structure 8; the output end of the second-stage planetary transmission structure 8 is connected to the input end of the third-stage planetary transmission structure 10; the output end of the third-stage planetary transmission structure 10 is connected to the input end of the fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12; and the output end of the fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12 is used to connect to the generator. The wind power drives the main shaft 2 to rotate through the blade hub 1, which in turn drives the first-stage planetary transmission structure 6, the second-stage planetary transmission structure 8, the third-stage planetary transmission structure 10, and the fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12 in sequence. This process transmits the low speed of the hub 1 to a high speed through four speed-increasing stages, which in turn drives the generator at the back end to generate electricity.
[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the primary planetary transmission structure 6 includes a primary planetary carrier 14, a primary sun gear 15, primary planetary gears 16, primary planetary gear shafts 17, primary planetary gear bearings 18, and a primary ring gear 19. The primary planetary carrier 14 is connected to the main shaft 2. The windward side of the primary ring gear 19 is connected to the bearing housing 4, and the leeward side of the primary ring gear 19 is connected to the housing 7. The main shaft 2 and the primary planetary carrier 14 are connected by pins and studs. The rotation of the main shaft 2 drives the primary planetary carrier 14 to rotate. The primary ring gear 19 is fixed to the outer ring of the bearing housing 4 and remains stationary. Multiple primary planetary gear shafts 17 are connected to the primary planetary carrier 14 in a circumferential direction. Each primary planetary gear shaft 17 is connected to a primary planetary gear 16 through a primary planetary gear bearing 18. The multiple primary planetary gears 16 are located inside the primary ring gear 19, and the primary sun gear 15 is located at the center of the multiple primary planetary gears 16. The multiple primary planetary gears 16 are meshed with the primary ring gear 19 and the primary sun gear 15. Multiple first-stage planetary gears 16 mesh with the first-stage ring gear 19 as the first-stage planetary carrier 14 rotates, and each of them rotates around a multiple first-stage planetary gear shaft 17. Simultaneously, the multiple first-stage planetary gears 16 revolve around the first-stage sun gear 15, and through their meshing connection with the first-stage sun gear 15, they drive the first-stage sun gear 15 to rotate. In this first-stage planetary transmission, the first-stage planetary carrier 14 serves as the input power, and the first-stage sun gear 15 serves as the output power.
[0043] like Figure 3As shown, the secondary planetary transmission structure 8 includes a secondary planetary carrier 20, an upper windward bearing 21, a secondary sun gear 22, secondary planetary gears 23, a secondary planetary gear shaft 24, a secondary planetary gear bearing 25, a secondary ring gear 26, and a lower windward bearing 27. The upper windward side of the secondary ring gear 26 is connected to housing 7, and the lower windward side of the secondary ring gear 26 is connected to housing 9. The secondary ring gear 26 is fixed. The primary sun gear 15 serves as the input to the secondary planetary transmission, connecting to the external spline of the secondary planetary carrier 20 via an internal spline, and drives the secondary planetary carrier 20 to rotate. The upper windward side of the secondary planetary carrier 20 is connected to housing 7 via the upper windward bearing 21, and the lower windward side of the secondary planetary carrier 20 is connected to housing 9 via the lower windward bearing 27. Multiple secondary planetary gear shafts 24 are connected to the secondary planetary gear carrier 20. Each secondary planetary gear shaft 24 is connected to a secondary planetary gear 23 via a secondary planetary gear bearing 25. The multiple secondary planetary gears 23 are located inside the secondary ring gear 26. The secondary sun gear 22 is located at the center of the multiple secondary planetary gears 23. The multiple secondary planetary gears 23 are simultaneously meshed with both the secondary ring gear 26 and the secondary sun gear 22. The multiple secondary planetary gears 23 rotate around the multiple secondary planetary gear shafts 24, and simultaneously revolve around the secondary sun gear 22 as the secondary planetary carrier 20 rotates. Through meshing with the secondary sun gear 22, the multiple secondary planetary gears 23 drive the secondary sun gear 22 to rotate. The output end of the secondary sun gear 22 is connected to the input end of the three-stage planetary transmission structure.
[0044] like Figure 4As shown, the three-stage planetary transmission structure 10 includes a three-stage planetary carrier 28, an upper windward bearing 29, a lower windward bearing 30, a three-stage sun gear 31, three-stage planetary gears 32, a three-stage planetary gear shaft 33, a three-stage planetary gear bearing 34, and a three-stage gear ring 35. The upper windward side of the three-stage gear ring 35 is fixedly connected to housing 2 9, and the lower windward side of the three-stage gear ring 35 is fixedly connected to housing 3 11. The three-stage gear ring 35 remains stationary. The second-stage sun gear 22 serves as the input to the three-stage planetary transmission, connected to the outer spline of the three-stage planetary carrier 28 via an internal spline, and drives the three-stage planetary carrier 28 to rotate. The upper windward side of the three-stage planetary carrier 28 is connected to housing 2 9 via the upper windward bearing 29, and the lower windward side of the three-stage planetary carrier 28 is connected to housing 3 11 via the lower windward bearing 30. Multiple planetary gear shafts 33 are connected to the third-stage planetary carrier 28. Each third-stage planetary gear shaft 33 is connected to a third-stage planetary gear 32 via a third-stage planetary gear bearing 34. The multiple third-stage planetary gears 32 are located inside the third-stage gear ring 35. The third-stage sun gear 31 is located at the center of the multiple third-stage planetary gears 32. The multiple third-stage planetary gears 32 are simultaneously meshed with the third-stage gear ring 35 and the third-stage sun gear 31. The multiple third-stage planetary gears 32 rotate around the multiple third-stage planetary gear shafts 33 as centers. At the same time, as the third-stage planetary carrier 28 rotates, the multiple third-stage planetary gears 32 revolve around the third-stage sun gear 31, and drive the third-stage sun gear 31 to rotate through their meshing connection with the third-stage sun gear 31. The output end of the third-stage sun gear 31 is connected to the input end of the fourth-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the four-stage parallel shaft transmission structure 12 includes a hollow shaft 36, an upper windward bearing 37 for the large gear, a large gear 38, a lower windward bearing 39 for the large gear, an upper windward bearing 40 for the high-speed shaft, a high-speed shaft 41, and a lower windward bearing 42 for the high-speed shaft. The third-stage sun gear 31 is connected to the hollow shaft 36 via an external spline and an internal spline. The upper windward side of the large gear 38 is connected to the housing 11 via the upper windward bearing 37 for the large gear, and the lower windward side of the large gear 38 is connected to the rear housing 13 via the lower windward bearing 39 for the large gear. The hollow shaft 36 and the large gear 38 are interference-fitted. The large gear 38 is meshed with the high-speed shaft 41. The upper windward side of the high-speed shaft 41 is connected to the housing 11 via the upper windward bearing 40 for the high-speed shaft, and the lower windward side of the high-speed shaft 41 is connected to the rear housing 13 via the lower windward bearing 42 for the high-speed shaft. The rotation of the third-stage sun gear 31 drives the rotation of the large gear 38, which in turn drives the rotation of the high-speed shaft 41.
[0046] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the outer ventral side of the first-stage planetary carrier 14 is provided with a positioning outer stop 45, and the corresponding position of the housing 7 is also provided with a positioning inner stop 46. The fit between these two positioning stops is H7 and f7, which is a small clearance fit, serving to position the first-stage planetary carrier 14 during assembly. Specifically, the positioning outer stop 45 is a cylindrical structure protruding from the first-stage planetary carrier 14, and the positioning inner stop 46 is a concave inner cylindrical surface structure on the housing 7. The fit between the inner and outer stops is the mutual mating of the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces for preliminary radial positioning, with a fit tolerance of H7 and f7, which is a small clearance fit; the contact between the inner and outer cylindrical end faces provides axial positioning. During the assembly of the primary planetary transmission structure 6, process studs 43 are used to pass through the secondary gear ring 26 and housing 7, engaging with the pre-drilled process holes in the primary planetary carrier 14 to provide initial positioning for the primary planetary carrier 14. The primary planetary carrier 14 moves downwind until its external positioning stop 45 engages with the internal positioning stop 46 of housing 7, completing secondary positioning. After this secondary positioning, T-shaped locating pins 44 are inserted through the through holes in the secondary gear ring 26 and housing 9, engaging with the primary planetary carrier 14 and housing 9 to complete the final axial and radial positioning, facilitating the subsequent horizontal assembly of the gearbox and spindle 2. It should be noted that the process studs 43 and T-shaped locating pins 44 are tooling used during the gearbox assembly stage and are removed after the overall gearbox assembly is completed.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, the internal spline of the first-stage sun gear 15 adopts an optimized design with a short spline structure. Sufficient space is left between the windward side of the internal spline and the stop of the first-stage sun gear 15 to avoid interference between the milling cutter, tool holder and the stop of the first-stage sun gear 15 during milling. This allows the machining method of the internal spline of the first-stage sun gear 15 to be changed from the original gear shaping to gear milling, which can greatly reduce the spline machining time.
[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the three-stage gear ring 35 is designed with flanges extending at both ends, connected to housing 2 (9) and housing 3 (11) respectively by bolts and pins. The structural feature is that sufficient space is left between the flanges at both ends, and the bolts and pins at both ends are staggered. This structural form of the three-stage gear ring 35 allows for bolt removal, facilitating subsequent bolt disassembly and replacement. Specifically, the flange structure at both ends of the three-stage gear ring 35 includes a first flange structure and a second flange structure. The first flange structure is connected to housing 2 (9) by multiple bolts, and the second flange structure is connected to housing 3 (11) by multiple pins. Sufficient space is left between the first flange structure and the second flange structure, and the multiple bolts and pins are staggered.
[0049] like Figure 10As shown, the high-speed shaft upper wind bearing 40 is axially fixed on both sides by an upper end cover 47 and a lower end cover 48. Both the upper end cover 47 and the lower end cover 48 are bolted to the housing 11. A viewing window is provided on the housing 11 near the high-speed shaft upper wind bearing 40, and a viewing window cover 49 is provided at the viewing window. The viewing window cover 49 is bolted to the housing 11. When the gearbox replaces the high-speed shaft upper wind bearing 40 on the tower, the high-speed shaft upper wind bearing 40 can be removed from the rear end of the high-speed shaft 41 through the viewing window. At the same time, both the upper end cover 47 and the lower end cover 48 are designed with oil passages, which can simultaneously spray oil to lubricate the high-speed shaft upper wind bearing 40 from both ends.
