Description

[0002] Wind energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is a key force driving the global green energy transition. Utilizing wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity has become one of the core technological means for this global energy transition. Wind turbines are mainly divided into horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines. Compared to horizontal axis wind turbines, vertical axis wind turbines have advantages such as lower noise and smaller footprint, making them particularly advantageous in specific application scenarios such as urban areas.
[0003] In existing technologies, the transmission system structures for vertical axis wind turbines mainly include: direct-drive generator direct connection and semi-direct-drive bearing housing + speed increaser + generator. For the direct-drive structure, as the size of the vertical axis wind turbine increases, the generator manufacturing cost is high, resulting in poor economic efficiency. For the bearing housing + speed increaser + generator structure, the generator cost can be reduced, but the bearing housing and speed increaser components are added, resulting in low integration of the transmission chain. The speed increaser is installed inside the tower, which leads to difficulties in installation and maintenance, as well as low transmission efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a bearing C, which is a thrust roller bearing. The bearing C is located near the bearing B and between the bearing A and the bearing B. The bearing C's race abuts against the shoulder of the planetary carrier, and the bearing C's seat race abuts against the shoulder of the upper housing.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper housing includes a front cover and a connecting plate, which are respectively fixed to both ends of the internal gear ring. Planetary gear bearings are installed inside the planetary gears, and the planetary gear bearings are installed on the planetary gear shafts. The planetary gear shafts are fixed in the planet carrier, and the planetary gear shafts are equidistantly distributed around the central axis of the planet carrier. The planetary gears mesh with the internal gear ring and the sun gear teeth respectively.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the second end of the sun gear is provided with an external spline around its shaft diameter, the first end of the central output shaft is provided with an internal spline that matches the external spline, and the second end of the central output shaft is connected to the power input shaft of the generator component by a key block.

This solution, by fixing the wind turbine to the top connecting flange of the speed increaser component and using a single-stage planetary transmission, effectively bears the gravity and wind load from the wind turbine through a reasonable planetary carrier support bearing arrangement, ensuring reliable and stable operation of the wind turbine.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.
[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms "a," "an," or "the," and similar words used in the specification and claims of this patent application do not express a limitation of quantity, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" indicate that the elements or objects preceding "comprising" encompass the elements or objects listed following "comprising" or "including" and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects having the same function.
[0021] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an integrated vertical axis wind turbine transmission chain structure, including a speed increaser component 2 and a generator component 3. The upper end of the speed increaser component 2 is the power input end, and the lower end is the power output end. The upper end of the speed increaser component 2 is connected to the wind turbine 1, and the lower end of the speed increaser component 2 is connected to the power input shaft of the generator component 3. The tower 4 forms an upward-opening cavity. The generator component 3 is fixedly installed inside the tower 4, and the speed increaser component 2 is fixedly installed on the tower 4 and placed outside the cavity of the tower 4. The purpose of this design is not only to withstand the weight and wind load of the wind turbine 1, but also to facilitate maintenance. At the same time, the rotation of the wind turbine 1 drives the speed increaser component 2 to rotate, thereby increasing the speed of the wind turbine 1 to the speed required by the generator component 3, and thus driving the stable operation of the generator component 3. This effectively shortens the transmission chain length of the vertical axis wind turbine, reduces the weight of the equipment, and improves the power generation efficiency of the wind turbine. In this solution, the speed increaser component 2 adopts oil bath lubrication. The speed increaser component 2 is installed on the outside of the tower 4 and uses oil bath lubrication. Compared to the traditional structure where the wind turbine 1 is installed on the bearing housing and uses grease lubrication (and the speed increaser component is located inside the tower 4 in the existing technology), this solution can ensure the cleanliness of the lubrication system, reduce the difficulty of oil replacement, effectively reduce maintenance costs, and allow maintenance and oil replacement operations to be completed without entering the tower 4. In this solution, the central axis of the wind turbine 1 is vertically oriented and coaxial with the central axis of the speed increaser component 2.
[0022] In this embodiment, the speed increaser component 2 includes a planetary gear train assembly 25 and an output shaft assembly 26. The planetary gear train assembly 25 and the output shaft assembly 26 are independent components that can be detachably connected. The planetary gear train assembly 25 is located on top of the output shaft assembly 26. The planetary gear train assembly 25 and the output shaft assembly 26 adopt an independent modular design. The detachable connection makes it easier to inspect, maintain and replace parts. The modular design allows the planetary gear train assembly 25 and the output shaft assembly 26 to be disassembled independently. When a single component fails, there is no need to disassemble the entire transmission chain, thus reducing the cost of spare parts replacement. The planetary gear train assembly 25 includes an upper housing 251 and planetary gear components, wherein the planetary gear components are located inside the upper housing 251. The upper housing 251 includes a front cover 2505, an internal gear ring 2507, and a connecting plate 2508. The internal gear ring 2507 is located between the front cover 2505 and the connecting plate 2508, and the three are fixedly connected by screws to form the upper housing 251. A cavity for mounting the planetary gear components is formed inside the upper housing 251. The planetary gear components include a planet carrier 2506 and a sun gear 2512, wherein the planet carrier 2506... The power input end of the wind turbine 1 is detachably connected. Specifically, the head end of the planetary carrier 2506 is provided with a flange coupling 2501. The flange coupling 2501 is fixedly connected to the wind turbine 1 through a first connecting member 21. Specifically, the first connecting member 21 is a bolt (it should be noted that in this solution, the connecting member preferably uses bolts but is not limited to bolt connection). With this design, the wind turbine 1 is directly fixedly connected to the speed increaser component 2, and through the improvement of the internal structure of the speed increaser component 2, it can effectively withstand the wind load and gravity from the wind turbine 1.
[0023] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a mounting cavity is provided at the tail end of the planetary carrier 2506. The head end of the central shaft of the sun gear 2512 extends into the mounting cavity of the planetary carrier 2506, and the two are coaxially arranged. The first end of the central shaft of the sun gear 2512 is rotatably connected to the planetary carrier 2506 through a self-aligning roller bearing 2509 to adapt to coaxiality deviations and complex load conditions, ensuring transmission stability and durability. The tail end of the central shaft of the sun gear 2512 extends out of the planetary carrier 2506, and an external spline 2512-1 is provided at the end of its central shaft. The function of the external spline 2512-1 is to achieve meshing transmission with the output shaft assembly 26. The external spline 2512-1 adopts a modified design to realize the floating of the sun gear 2512 and ensure the load distribution of the planetary gear train.
[0024] The planetary gear assembly also includes planetary gears 2511 and planetary gear shafts 2510. The planetary gears 2511 are rotatably mounted on the planetary gear shafts 2510 of the planetary carrier 2506 via planetary gear bearings 2516. The planetary gear shafts 2510 are fixed within the planetary carrier 2506 and are evenly distributed around the central axis of the planetary carrier 2506. The planetary gears 2511 mesh with the external teeth of the sun gear 2512 and the internal teeth of the internal gear ring 2507, respectively. The planetary gear system assembly 25 of this invention employs a single-stage planetary transmission. Through a reasonable arrangement of the supporting bearings on the planetary carrier 2506, it effectively withstands the gravity and wind load from the wind turbine 1, ensuring the reliable and stable operation of the wind turbine 1.
[0025] In this design, the planetary carrier 2506 has an upper shoulder on its outer circumferential surface near the head end. A bearing A2504 is installed on the upper shoulder. The inner ring of the bearing A2504 is fixedly connected to the planetary carrier 2506. Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing A2504 and the shaft diameter of the planetary carrier 2506 are interference-fitted. The outer ring of the bearing A2504 is fixedly connected to the front cover 2505. One end of the bearing A2504 abuts against the upper shoulder of the planetary carrier 2506, and the other end abuts against and is fixed to the round nut 2503. Specifically, the internal thread of the round nut 2503 is screwed to the external thread of the outer edge of the shaft of the planetary carrier 2506. The outer ring of the bearing A2504 is abutted and fixed through the stop of the end cover 2502. Specifically, the end cover 2502 is fixedly connected to the front cover 2505 by bolts. The planetary carrier 2506 has a lower shoulder on its outer circumferential surface near the tail end. A bearing B2514 is installed on this lower shoulder. The inner ring of bearing B2514 is interference-fitted with the shaft diameter of the planetary carrier 2506. The outer ring of bearing B2514 is fixedly connected to the connecting disc 2508. One end of the inner ring of bearing B2514 abuts against the lower shoulder of the planetary carrier 2506, and the other end is fixed by a retaining ring 2515, which is installed in a groove at the tail end of the planetary carrier 2506. In this embodiment, both bearings A2504 and B2514 are cylindrical roller bearings, mainly used to bear the radial load of the wind turbine 1.
[0026] In this design, a bearing C2513 is also installed between the planetary carrier 2506 and the connecting plate 2508. Bearing C2513 is located between bearing A2504 and bearing B2514. More specifically, bearing C2513 is positioned close to and above bearing B2514 without contacting it. This structure can withstand the gravity and wind load from the impeller 1, ensuring the normal operation of the speed increaser component 2. The aforementioned bearings A, B, and C work together to adapt to the complex stress conditions of the vertical axis fan, reducing transmission interference caused by shaft misalignment and further reducing power loss.
[0027] In this design, bearing C2513 is a thrust roller bearing. Bearing C2513 includes a shaft ring 2513-1, a housing ring 2513-3, and a cage 2513-2. The inner hole of the shaft ring 2513-1 is mounted on the shaft diameter of the planetary carrier 2506 with a clearance fit. The outer circle of the housing ring 2513-3 is mounted on the connecting plate 2508 with a clearance fit. The planetary carrier 2506 has a shoulder for abutting against the outer side of the shaft ring 2513-1. The connecting plate 2508 has a first shoulder for supporting the housing ring 2513-3. Both the shaft shoulder and the first shoulder must have certain dimensions to withstand the force along the central axis of the planetary carrier 2506, thereby bearing the axial force.
[0028] In this embodiment, the output shaft assembly 26 includes a lower housing 261 and a central output shaft 2604 located within the lower housing 261. The lower housing 261 includes a rear cover 2601 and a transition flange 2603. The rear cover 2601 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 2508 via a second connector 22. The rear cover 2601 and the transition flange 2603 are detachably connected via a third connector 23. The transition flange 2603 and the tower 4 are detachably connected via a fourth connector 24. In this design, the second connector 22, the third connector 23, and the fourth connector 24 can all be bolts. The rear cover 2601 has an axially formed cavity for mounting the central output shaft 2604. The central output shaft 2604 is rotatably mounted within the rear cover 2601 via a bearing D2602. The rear cover 2601 is fixedly connected to the transition flange 2603. The bearing D2602 is a deep groove ball bearing. Two bearings D2602 are arranged along the central axis. The two bearings D2602 are deep groove ball bearing I and deep groove ball bearing II, respectively. Deep groove ball bearing I is located above deep groove ball bearing II. The outer surface of the central output shaft 2604 has a shoulder protrusion. The bearings D2602 are respectively located at both ends of the shoulder protrusion. Specifically, the inner rings of the two bearings D2602 abut against the shoulder protrusion. The rear cover 2601 is provided with a second shoulder. The outer ring of the upper bearing D2602 abuts against the second shoulder of the rear cover 2601, and the outer ring of the lower bearing D2602 is abutted and fixed by a through cover 2606. The through cover 2606 has a hole through which the central output shaft 2604 passes. The through cover 2606 is detachably connected to the rear cover 2601. The power input end face of the central output shaft 2604 has an internal spline 2604-1, which meshes with the external spline 2512-1 of the sun gear 2512 shaft end for transmission. The power output end face of the central output shaft 2604 has a shaft cavity 2604-3, and the keyway 2604-2 is formed on the inner wall of the shaft cavity 2604-3. The central output shaft 2604 is fixedly connected to the generator shaft 33 of the generator component 3 by a flat key 32. More specifically, deep groove ball bearing I and deep groove ball bearing II are installed on the outer diameter of the central output shaft 2604. The outer rings of the two bearings are installed on the rear cover 2601. The lower deep groove ball bearing II is axially positioned by a through cover 2606. A sealing device 2607 is provided on the through cover 2606 to effectively prevent the leakage of lubricating oil during the operation of the speed increaser component.
[0029] In this design, generator component 3 includes generator body 34 and brake 35. Generator body 34 is placed inside the cylinder cavity of tower 4. Generator shaft 33 of generator body 34 passes through the hole of transition flange 2603 from bottom to top and is fixedly connected to the power output end of center output shaft 2604 via flat key 32, realizing the transmission of power from center output shaft 2604 to generator shaft 33. Generator component 3 is fixed to transition flange 2603 via fifth connector 31; fifth connector 31 is connected by screws or bolts. Specifically, brake 35 is installed on the lower side of generator body 34, and fifth connector 31 passes through the fixing hole of generator body 34 from bottom to top and is tightened and fixed to transition flange 2603. In this design, brake 35 adopts electromagnetic braking and is a normally open structure to realize emergency braking of wind turbine under special circumstances.
