When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0032] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a lubrication device for a wind turbine generator set, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lubrication device of the wind turbine generator set includes:

[0033] An oil distributor, the oil distributor comprises an oil inlet and an oil outlet connected to the oil inlet, the oil inlet is connected to an automatic lubrication and grease pump of the turbine generator set through a pipeline;

[0034] The lubricating gear 10 includes an oil inlet 10a and an oil outlet 10b connected to the oil inlet 10a; the oil inlet 10a is connected to the oil outlet through a pipeline, and the lubricating gear 10 can mesh with the yaw gear; and

[0035] The gear fixing frame 20 has a clearance space 20A capable of accommodating the lubricating gear 10, and the lubricating gear 10 is detachably connected to the gear fixing frame 20; one side of the gear fixing frame 20 is connected to the yaw system of the wind turbine generator set;

[0036] The lubrication device of the wind turbine generator set has a lubrication state. In the lubrication state, the lubrication gear 10 rotates with the yaw system, and the lubrication grease of the automatic lubrication grease pump flows evenly onto the tooth surface of the yaw large tooth through the oil outlet 10b of the lubrication gear 10.

[0037] First of all, it needs to be explained that the wind turbine generator set has an automatic lubrication system, which includes an automatic lubrication and grease pump arranged in the cabin. The automatic lubrication and grease pump transports lubricating grease to the yaw bearing and the blade main shaft through a pipeline to achieve lubrication. However, what the present technical solution is to solve is a yaw tooth of the yaw system, and its lubrication is achieved through manual lubrication. Therefore, it cannot be lubricated together with the yaw bearing and the blade main shaft.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lubrication gear 10 is fixed to the yaw system through the gear fixing frame 20 and rotates with the yaw system. The gear teeth of the lubrication gear 10 can mesh with the fixed yaw gear teeth. The lubrication gear 10 is provided with a plurality of oil outlet holes 10b. The automatic lubrication and grease pump of the wind turbine generator set draws the lubricating grease to the oil circuit distributor through the pipeline. The oil circuit distributor distributes the lubricating grease to the lubrication gear 10. The lubricating grease eventually flows through the oil outlet holes 10b of the lubrication gear 10 onto the tooth surface of the yaw gear teeth that need to be lubricated, and as the lubrication gear 10 rotates, it can be evenly applied to each tooth surface area of ​​the yaw gear teeth. Furthermore, the lubricating grease of the lubrication gear 10 is controlled by the oil circuit distributor and the automatic lubrication and grease pump, and no manual application is required, thereby solving the problem of rust and breakage of the yaw gear teeth due to excessive lubrication intervals.

[0039] The oil circuit distributor is a distribution device with multiple channels, which has an oil inlet and multiple oil outlets connected to the oil inlet. The oil circuit distributor is connected to the automatic lubrication and grease pump through a pipeline to realize the flow of lubricating grease. The lubricating grease flows to different oil outlets in the internal channels through the oil inlet of the oil circuit distributor, and then flows to the parts that need to be lubricated through the pipeline.

[0040] The lubricating gear 10 includes structures such as tooth roots and tooth tops. In order to lubricate the yaw gear, an oil outlet of the oil distributor is connected to an oil inlet hole 10a of the lubricating gear 10 through a pipeline. At the same time, the interior of the lubricating gear 10 has an oil channel that allows the lubricating gear 10 to flow. One end of the oil channel is the oil inlet hole 10a, and the other end is the oil outlet hole 10b. As the lubricating gear 10 rotates with the yaw system and the yaw gear is fixed, the lubricating grease can be evenly brought to each tooth surface area of ​​the yaw gear for lubrication, thereby solving the problems of long lubrication time intervals and uneven lubrication caused by manual lubrication, preventing the yaw gear from being corroded and rusted, and avoiding gear breakage, which further affects the operation of the wind turbine.

[0041] The gear fixing frame 20 is made of a relatively hard steel material. In order to realize that the lubricating gear 10 is fixed to the yaw system of the nacelle and rotates with the yaw system, the gear fixing frame 20 encloses a space 20A that can accommodate the lubricating gear 10. The lubricating gear 10 can be detachably connected to the gear fixing frame 20, and can be connected by a locking member such as a bolt or a snap-on structure, which is not limited here. The outer side of the gear fixing frame 20 is connected to the yaw system of the wind turbine generator set.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the lubrication gear 10 includes a first gear 11 and a second gear 12 , and a second gear 12 is sandwiched between any two adjacent first gears 11 . The oil inlet 10 a is disposed on one side of the first gear 11 and close to the tooth top of the second gear 12 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the lubricating gear 10 includes a plurality of first gears 11 and a plurality of second gears 12. A second gear 12 is sandwiched between any two adjacent first gears 11. The first gears 11 and the second gears 12 are an integrally formed structure, and the two are stacked to form the lubricating gear 10. An oil passage is provided along the axis direction of the first gears 11 on both sides. The oil passage forms an oil inlet 10a on one side of a first gear 11, and the oil inlet 10a is connected to the oil outlet 10b. In order to prevent the lubricating gear 10 from covering the oil outlet 10b when it is meshed with the yaw gear, the oil outlet 10b is provided on the gear teeth of each second gear 12 near its tooth top. By spacing out the plurality of second gears 12, a lubricating gear 10 forms multiple lubrication areas on a yaw gear to improve the uniformity of lubrication. It can be understood that Figure 1 The number of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 shown is not limited. Based on the inventive concept proposed by the applicant, those skilled in the art can adaptively adjust the number of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 according to actual needs. This means that in another example, there may be a second gear 12 located on the outermost side that is not located between any two first gears 11.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are both plastic gears.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are plastic gears. Plastic gears facilitate the processing and forming of channels and holes, reducing the difficulty of the process, and can reduce production costs.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, a meshing reinforcement layer is disposed on the surface of the second gear 12 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the surface of the second gear 12 is provided with a meshing reinforcement layer, which can be a metal sheet whose shape matches the second gear 12 and is fixed to the surface of the second gear 12 by screws to form a meshing reinforcement layer, or a metal coating, which is not limited here. The meshing reinforcement layer can enhance the strength of meshing with the yaw gear, and prevent the deformation of the plastic lubrication gear 10 and meshing failure under the long-term operation of the wind turbine generator set, and fail to lubricate the yaw gear uniformly.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the tooth width of the first gear 11 is greater than the tooth width of the second gear 12 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the tooth width of the first gear 11 is greater than that of the second gear 12, so that the spacing of the oil outlet holes 10b along the axial direction of the gear is evenly connected to the tooth surface of the yaw large tooth to improve the uniformity of lubrication.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present utility model, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are identically arranged, and the pitch circle diameter of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to d, and d is 160 mm;

[0051] The tooth root height of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to 23.5 mm; and

[0052] The tooth addendum height of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to 21 mm.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 are set equally to ensure that both can mesh with the yaw gear. Further, in order to improve the degree of meshing with the yaw gear, the applicant conducted on-site physical measurements of the yaw gear and obtained relevant data of the yaw gear, thereby further limiting the size of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12, wherein the pitch circle diameter of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to d, d is 160mm; the tooth root height of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to 23.5mm; the tooth top height of the first gear 11 and the second gear 12 is set to 21mm, to ensure that the lubrication gear 10 can fully mesh with the yaw gear when it rotates with the yaw system.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the gear fixing frame 20 includes a first fixing frame 21 and a second fixing frame 22 . The first fixing frame 21 is screwed to the second fixing frame 22 . The second fixing frame 22 has an avoidance space 20A. The first fixing frame 21 can be screwed to the yaw system, and the second fixing frame 22 is screwed to the lubrication gear 10 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the gear fixing frame 20 includes a first fixing frame 21 and a second fixing frame 22. The materials of the first fixing frame 21 and the second fixing frame 22 are both steel. The first fixing frame 21 is screwed to the second fixing frame 22 to replace related parts for maintenance. Furthermore, the second fixing frame 22 forms an escape space 20A that can accommodate the lubrication gear 10. The two sides of the second fixing frame 22 are connected to the lubrication gear 10. At the same time, the second fixing frame 22 has a limiting hole connected to the oil inlet hole 10a of the lubrication gear 10 on one side where the lubrication gear 10 is connected, so that the pipeline can be connected to the lubrication gear 10.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first fixing frame 21 includes a first fixing section 211 and a second fixing section 212. The first fixing section 211 and the second fixing section 212 enclose a clearance space 21A, and the second fixing frame 22 is located in the clearance space 21A; the first fixing section 211 is connected to the yaw system, and the second fixing section 212 is detachably connected to the second fixing frame 22.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first fixing frame 21 includes a first fixing section 211 and a second fixing section 212. The first fixing section 211 and the second fixing section 212 are bent and connected to form a clearance space 21A that can accommodate the second fixing frame 22. Furthermore, the two are an integrally formed structure to ensure the structural strength of the first fixing frame 21; the first fixing section 211 is connected to the yaw system, and the second fixing section 212 can be connected to the second fixing frame 22 by locking members such as bolts, or by a snap-on structure, which is not limited here.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are disposed at the connection between the first fixing section 211 and the second fixing section 212 .

[0059] In this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided at the connection between the first fixing section 211 and the second fixing section 212 to enhance the deformation resistance of the first fixing frame 21 and prevent the first fixing frame 21 from bending and deforming under long-term use, thereby affecting the meshing degree between the lubrication gear 10 and the yaw gear.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second fixing section 212 is connected to the second fixing frame 22 by using an external hexagonal bolt rod, and a part of the structure of the external hexagonal bolt rod passes through the second fixing frame 22 .

[0061] In this embodiment, both ends of the hexagonal bolt rod pass through the second fixing section 212 and the second fixing frame 22, and at the same time, part of the structure of the hexagonal bolt rod passes through the second fixing frame 22, and then a nut is used to lock the second fixing frame 22 on the side of the second fixing frame 22 facing away from the second fixing section 212 to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the lubrication gear 10.

[0062] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
