Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine power cable protection, in particular to an anti-wear device for a torsion-stop mechanism of a wind turbine power cable. Background Art
[0002] The generator on top of the tower of the wind turbine generates electricity, which is transmitted to the converter cabinet at the bottom of the tower through the power cable. The cable in the section from the nacelle to the saddle platform uses a torque-stop mechanism to limit the torsion angle of the power cable to prevent the cable from getting tangled. Since the wind turbine needs to yaw to the wind in real time, the power cable moves up and down during yaw. The partition plate of the torque-stop mechanism and the cable frequently produce sliding friction, which causes the outer insulation of the power cable to wear, and there is a risk of power cable damage and fire, which seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the unit. At present, measures such as adding anti-wear materials to the outer insulation layer of the cable are often adopted on site. However, this measure has certain limitations. The anti-wear materials will also be worn out over time, and the anti-wear materials need to be replaced frequently, which increases the workload and operation and maintenance costs of the operation and maintenance personnel.

At present, the power cable of the wind turbine generator is connected to the generator through a cable connection box, and each cable is basically the same length. When yaw and twist, it will cause different forces on the left and right sides. The "pin"-shaped structure is not completely applicable to the current situation. Summary of the invention

[0037] Furthermore, the anti-wear mechanism 5 includes an anti-wear sliding ball 51, which is clamped in the slide groove 7 on the inner wall of the partition hole 4. The anti-wear sliding ball 51 is pressed in the middle by the upper spring 52 and the lower spring 53 respectively, and is relatively fixed between the cover plate 8 installed at the bottom and top of the slide groove 7.

[0047] In the preferred scheme, the anti-wear mechanism 5 includes an anti-wear sliding bead 51, which is clamped in the slide groove 7 on the inner wall of the partition hole 4. The anti-wear sliding bead 51 is pressed and fixed in the middle by the upper spring 52 and the lower spring 53 respectively, and is relatively fixed between the cover plate 8 installed at the bottom and top of the slide groove 7; the above arrangement enables the anti-wear function of the anti-wear mechanism 5 to be realized, and the sliding friction between the cable 6 and the partition hole 4 and the cutting of the edge of the hole are converted into rolling friction, thereby preventing the cutting of the cable 6 by the edge of the hole, and effectively avoiding wear and cuts on the cable 6.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the slide groove 7 is configured as a semi-cylindrical groove, the bottom of the hole is not through, and the chord length of the semi-circular hole opening is smaller than the diameter of the anti-wear sliding bead 51; the above configuration allows the anti-wear sliding bead 51 to be relatively fixed while being able to slide relatively.
[0049] In the preferred scheme, the lower end of the lower spring 53 is fixed to the bottom of the slide groove 7, and the upper end is pressed but not fixed to the anti-wear sliding bead 51; the above arrangement allows the lower spring 53 to be fixed while pressing the anti-wear sliding bead 51, and at the same time allows the anti-wear sliding bead 51 to rotate relatively in the hole, thereby preventing the inner wall and edge of the hole from wearing and cutting the cable 6.

The newly designed anti-wear mechanism has a complex structure and a large workload for the original equipment modification. By changing the conditions for the formation of sliding friction, the anti-wear beads 51 are added to change the sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing the degree of friction. At the same time, the contact surface between the power cable 6 and the edge of the separation hole 4 of the anti-twist mechanism can be changed from surface contact to point contact, thereby reducing the wear area of the power cable 6, achieving the target effect of reducing the wear rate of the power cable 6, and extending the life of the power cable 6. By setting the separation hole 4, the power cable 6 is placed in the separation hole to ensure that the power cable 6 will not be knotted when the wind turbine generator set yaws against the wind.

By setting the structure of the anti-wear slide bead 51 and the spring assembly, the anti-wear slide bead 51 is relatively close to the slide groove 7. While being fixed, the torsion on the cable 6 can be released and decomposed as the cable 6 rotates relatively, and the sliding friction, cutting and surface contact between the cable 6 and the separation hole 4 are converted into rotational friction, without cutting and point contact, effectively avoiding the wear and cuts of the cable 6; through the structural design of the semi-circular cylindrical hole of the slide groove, the anti-wear sliding bead 51 can be installed without falling, and is limited by the opening smaller than the diameter of the anti-wear sliding bead 51, and cannot fall out to the left or right, thereby not affecting the normal use of the anti-wear sliding bead; through the setting of the cover plate 8, the anti-wear sliding bead 51 and the spring can be fixed, and it is convenient to install, repair and replace; the utility model is exquisitely designed and simple in structure, effectively solves the problem of serious wear of the power cable and the anti-torsion mechanism, effectively reduces the wear rate of the power cable, improves the safety of the power cable and the stability of the safe operation of the entire unit, and correspondingly reduces the operation and maintenance costs of the operation and maintenance personnel on the power cable, and has a wide range of applications, is convenient for installation, disassembly, repair and replacement, has a good online application effect, has a high practical application value, has a broad application prospect, and has good economic and social benefits.
