[0002] Wind energy is a clean energy source. Wind turbines can convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy, so they are widely used and developed in the world today. In the process of wind power generation, the power generation efficiency is related to the wind speed. However, when the wind speed is too high, the wind turbine blades are easily damaged. Therefore, a variable pitch structure is required to adjust the wind receiving area and angle of the blades to protect the wind turbine.

Stable variable pitch control has become one of the hot spots and difficulties in the current research of large wind turbine control technology. In simple terms, the variable pitch control technology is to change the angle of attack of the airflow on the blades by adjusting the angle of the blades, thereby controlling the aerodynamic torque and aerodynamic power captured by the wind rotor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The above and other technical contents, features and functions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached Figure 1-5 The detailed description of the embodiments will clearly show that the structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all based on the drawings in the specification.

[0024] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Embodiment 1, a wind turbine pitch mechanism, comprising a protective shell 1 and a blade 2, characterized in that:

[0026] The protective shell 1 is provided with a mounting tube 3 along the circumferential direction, a clamping plate 4 is provided inside the mounting tube 3, a damping rod 5 and a clamping spring 6 are provided between the clamping plate 4 and the inner side wall of the mounting tube 3, and an auxiliary roller 7 is provided on the clamping plate 4;

[0027] The side walls of the protective shell 1 are provided with bearings 8 at intervals, and a mounting plate 9 is provided on the top;

[0028] The blade 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 10 matched with the bearing 8, the rotating shaft is located in the mounting tube 3, and is matched with the auxiliary roller 7 provided on the clamping plate 4;

[0029] The protective shell 1 is rotatably connected to a first bevel gear 11, and a second bevel gear 12 meshing with the first bevel gear 11 is provided on the rotating shaft, and the first bevel gear 11 is driven by a power device;

[0030] Three groups of mounting tubes 3 are arranged at intervals on the protective shell 1, and a plurality of clamping plates 4 are arranged in the three groups of mounting tubes 3, and the plurality of clamping plates 4 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the mounting tubes 3;

[0031] The inner ring of the bearing 8 and the rotating shaft are arranged with interference fit;

[0032] The power device comprises a motor 13 provided on the protective shell 1, the first bevel gear 11 is driven by the first motor 13, and the first motor 13 is electrically connected to the controller;

[0033] The mounting plate 9 is provided with a transmission shaft 14 .

[0034] When the angle of the blade 2 is adjusted, the first bevel gear 11 can be driven to rotate by driving the motor 13. Under the action of the first bevel gear 11, the second bevel gear 12 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the blade 2 to adjust the angle. Since the clamping plate 4 is provided with an auxiliary roller 7, when the rotating shaft rotates, the smoothness is further increased under the action of the auxiliary roller 7. When the motor 13 stops, under the action of the damping rod 5 and the clamping spring 6, the clamping plate 4 is firmly attached to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment of the blade 2.

[0035] When installing the blade 2, first open the mounting plate 9, insert the rotating shaft of the blade 2 into the mounting tube 3, and under the action of the damping rod 5 and the clamping spring 6, the blade 2 is temporarily fixed in the mounting tube 3, and then the bearing 8 is installed to the side wall of the protective shell 1 and matched with the rotating shaft of the blade 2, and then the first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12 are installed, and finally the mounting plate 9 is matched with the protective shell 1.

[0036] Through the above, the blade 2 can be disassembled, and the disassembly is convenient. When the blade 2 rotates, the stability is high and the efficiency of converting electricity is significant.

[0037] The above description is only for illustrating the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations that conform to the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
