Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular relates to a damping inertia container with a permanent magnet generator. Background Art

[0002] At present, tuned mass damper (TMD, hereinafter referred to as damper) is one type of damper. TMD is a structural vibration control device that can reduce the vibration of buildings or other structures and improve the stability and safety of the structure. It usually consists of a mass block, springs and damping. Its principle is to use the inertial effect of the mass block to offset the vibration of the structure. The spring is used to connect the mass block and the structure, while the damping is used to reduce the amplitude and frequency of the structural vibration.

[0003] As one of the important structural components of wind power generation, the unique structural characteristics of wind turbine blades make the effect of environmental loads on the blades more obvious, and the vibration and resonance problems inside the blades are serious. By installing dampers on the wind turbine blades, the effect of increasing resistance can be effectively achieved, thereby reducing the vibration of the blades and improving the stability and safety of the structure.

[0004] However, the internal space of wind turbine blades is very limited, and the first-order natural frequency of the blades is usually relatively low. Controlling low-order vibration modes will place high requirements on the total weight and motion stroke of the mass block. Therefore, traditional tuned mass dampers will not be suitable for vibration control of wind turbine blades due to the influence of volume, deployment space, etc. Excessive tuning mass will affect the stability of the wind turbine blades.

[0005] The slide-type tuned mass damper used in the blades of wind turbines is very different from traditional dampers. The following are the main key factors: frequent mass swings, complex working conditions with periodic gravity effects, the damper is bidirectionally vibrated (longitudinal damped vibration, lateral gravity and centrifugal force forced vibration), high reliability; unattended, free of high maintenance requirements. The frequency edge, limited travel and gravity of the pendulum damper are key factors. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a damping inertia container with a permanent magnet generator.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a damping inertia container with a permanent magnet generator, comprising a supporting structure unit, a translational inertia unit, a rotational inertia unit, a permanent magnet generator and a transmission unit, wherein the translational inertia unit is reciprocatingly arranged on the supporting structure unit, both sides of the translational inertia unit are connected to the supporting structure unit through a rigidity unit, the rigidity unit provides elastic force for the translational inertia unit, and the transmission unit can drive the rotating shaft of the permanent magnet generator to rotate, thereby enabling the permanent magnet generator to generate electricity.

[0009] Furthermore, the translational inertial unit includes a mass block.

[0010] Furthermore, the stiffness unit includes a spring, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the mass block and the supporting structure unit.

Thus, the synchronous pulley can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The steering wheel is installed on the mass block.

[0012] Optionally, the transmission unit includes a gear and a rack, the two ends of the rack are respectively connected to the two ends of the supporting structure unit, the gear is meshed with the rack, and the gear is connected to the rotating shaft, so that the gear can drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0014] Furthermore, disc springs are respectively arranged at both ends of the mass block, and the disc springs play a buffering role.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: compared with pendulum-type, liquid sloshing, particle-type and other dampers, the damper described in the utility model does not require redundant mass, gravity is not a key factor, and the effective mass ratio is greater than 50%; the mass and diameter of the flywheel are designed according to the optimal inertial force required by the inertial container, and the number of flywheels is not limited to one. When the design requirements change, the inertial force can be controlled by adjusting the number of flywheels; in the stiffness unit, both ends of the spring are fixed to the supporting structure unit and the translation inertia unit respectively by screw plugs. Although the spring stiffness is fixed, the overall stiffness of the stiffness unit can be adjusted by the depth of screw plug screwing; the appearance of the utility model is relatively flat, which makes full use of the hollow type in the blade cavity, with a shock absorption rate of 70%, which reduces the amplitude of blade vibration and improves the fatigue life of the blade; the damper is installed on the wind turbine blade by bolts on the bracket in the support unit, and then bonded with glue, which makes the connection convenient and firm; the support unit uses lightweight materials (aluminum profiles, plastics, fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.) as the frame body, and the frame surface is bonded with wear-resistant steel plates to reduce the overall weight and improve the longitudinal strength of the track; the damper fully considers the narrow space inside the wind turbine and the layout of traditional dampers. The built-in rotational inertia element improves the adjustable range of the damper's mass. On the basis of not changing the overall mass, it obtains a greater inertial force and a shorter motion stroke, thereby improving the overall stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
