Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind power gear boxes, in particular to a planetary frame of a lightweight wind power generator gear box. Background Art
[0002] A wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. The gearbox in a wind turbine is an important mechanical component. Its main function is to transmit the power generated by the wind wheel under the action of wind to the generator and make it obtain a corresponding rotation speed. The planetary carrier of the gearbox is a structure that connects the planetary gears. Its main function is to support the planetary gears so that they can rotate around the sun gear and transmit power. In existing industrial designs, the planetary carrier of the wind turbine gearbox will be reduced in weight without affecting the overall performance of the planetary carrier, so as to achieve lightweight planetary carrier, improve work efficiency and reduce losses.
[0003] The planetary carrier of the existing lightweight wind turbine gearbox generally does not have a heat dissipation mechanism, and the heat and water vapor in the air enter the planetary carrier, causing moisture to be generated in the gearbox, affecting the performance of the lubricating oil and the durability of the gearbox components, and increasing the failure rate of the internal components of the gearbox due to moisture corrosion, thereby increasing the downtime caused by failures. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the planetary frame of the existing lightweight wind turbine gearbox generally has no heat dissipation mechanism, and heat and water vapor in the air enter the planetary frame, causing the gearbox to generate moisture, increasing the failure rate of the internal parts of the gearbox caused by moisture corrosion.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a planetary carrier of a lightweight wind turbine gearbox, including a planetary carrier body, a fixed block fixedly connected to the top of the planetary carrier body, a groove is formed on the fixed block, an insulating plate is arranged in the groove, the insulating plate is fixedly connected to the planetary carrier body, a first contact piece and a second contact piece are fixedly connected to the top of the insulating plate, the first contact piece and the second contact piece are in staggered contact, and the first contact piece and the second contact piece are both made of metal copper.
[0006] Through the above technical solution, the internal parts of the planetary frame will generate heat when working. After a period of time, when the humidity of the air inside the planetary frame is too high, water droplets condense on the insulating plate, the first contact piece and the second contact piece are energized by the water droplets, and the motor starts.
[0007] The utility model is further configured such that an exhaust box is fixedly connected to one side of the planet carrier body, a drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the exhaust box, an output end of the drive motor rotates and passes through the exhaust box, and a fan is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor.
[0008] Through the above technical solution, the motor drives the fan to work, speeding up the circulation of air inside the planetary carrier, thereby bringing out the heat inside the planetary carrier, effectively reducing the oil temperature of the gear box, avoiding the gear oil tank from shutting down due to over-temperature, and extending the overall service life of the gear box.
[0009] The utility model is further configured such that the driving motor is electrically connected to the first contact piece and the second contact piece, a one-way valve is provided on a side of the exhaust box away from the driving motor, and a plurality of air outlets are respectively provided on both sides of the exhaust box.
[0010] The utility model is further configured that the side of the planet carrier body away from the exhaust box is fixedly connected to an air intake box, a drying plate is arranged in the air intake box, a plurality of air intake holes are respectively opened on both sides of the air intake box, and a plurality of second lightweight through holes are opened on the planet carrier body.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the second lightweight through hole and the first lightweight through hole are provided to lighten the overall mass of the planet carrier, thereby reducing the power generation loss of the wind turbine and improving the power generation efficiency of the wind turbine.
[0012] The utility model is further configured that a first through hole and a second through hole are respectively opened on both sides of the planetary carrier body, the first through hole and the second through hole are respectively opposite to the exhaust box and the air intake box, a plurality of pin shaft holes are opened on the top end of the planetary carrier body, and a plurality of first lightweight through holes are opened on the bottom end of the planetary carrier body.
[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: two second mounting ears are fixedly connected to the fixing block, a top cover is arranged on the top of the fixing block, two first mounting ears are fixedly connected to the top cover, mounting holes are provided on the first mounting ears and the second mounting ears, and the fixing block and the top cover are fixedly connected by fasteners.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0015] The utility model provides an air intake box and an exhaust box on both sides of the planetary frame body. When the humidity of the air inside the planetary frame is too high, water droplets condense on the insulating plate, and the first contact piece and the second contact piece are energized by the water droplets, so that the motor starts and drives the fan to start rotating. The fan discharges the air in the planetary frame through the exhaust hole, and performs heat dissipation treatment on the internal parts of the planetary frame, effectively reducing the oil temperature of the gear box, avoiding the gear oil tank from shutting down due to overheating, and extending the overall service life of the gear box. When external air enters the planetary frame through the air intake hole, the drying plate in the air intake box dries the air, thereby dissipating the heat inside the planetary frame and maintaining the dry state inside the planetary frame, preventing the gear box from generating moisture under adverse climatic conditions, avoiding affecting the performance of the lubricating oil and the durability of the gear box parts, and reducing the failure rate of the internal parts of the gear box due to moisture corrosion, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the wind turbine and reducing the downtime caused by failures.
