[0031] The present embodiment is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0032] This embodiment provides a coupling for a wind turbine test bench.

[0033] According to a coupling for a wind turbine test bench provided in this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a pipe 3; the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4 are both connected to the pipe 3 through a correction component; the first connecting member 1 is used to be installed on the driving end of the wind turbine test bench, and the second connecting member 4 is used to be installed on the main shaft of the wind turbine; wherein, in the process of the wind turbine test bench driving the main shaft of the wind turbine to rotate through the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4, the correction component is used to make the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4 on the same axis. By installing the correction component on the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4, in the process of the wind turbine test bench driving the main shaft of the wind turbine to rotate through the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4, when the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4 are not on the same axis, the correction component can correct the positional relationship between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4, so that the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4 are on the same axis.

[0034] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the deviation correction component comprises a rubber ball joint 5 and a connecting member 6, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the connecting member 6, the rubber ball joint 5 is installed in the two mounting holes, and the number of the connecting members 6 is provided in two groups, one end of one group of connecting members 6 is connected to the pipe fitting 3, and the other end is linked to the first connecting member 1, and one end of another group of connecting members 6 is connected to the pipe fitting 3, and the other end is connected to the second connecting member 4, and the number of each group of connecting members 6 is three; thereby, the coupling has a deviation correction capability exceeding the performance of a general universal joint coupling under a large torque load, and realizes a large deviation correction distance capability at a smaller axial distance, and at the same deviation correction distance, generates much smaller support reaction force than universal joints and other types of couplings.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rubber ball joint 5 includes an outer sleeve 502, rubber 503, an inner sleeve 504 and a ball joint 505. The ball joint 505 is installed in the inner sleeve 504, the outer sleeve 502 is installed on the outside of the rubber 503, and the rubber 503 is wrapped on the outside of the inner sleeve 504. In specific operation, when the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 24 are not on the same axis, the ball joint 505 in the rubber joint assembly 5 is rigidly deflected to achieve correction; if the eccentricity of the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 4 exceeds the correction ability of the ball joint 505, the rubber 503 vulcanized between the outer sleeve 502 and the inner sleeve 504 is deformed to further improve the correction ability. When the ball joint 505 in the rubber joint 5 is rigidly deflected, because of the ball hinge pair, the connection of the middle hollow tube 3 will match the state of the ball joint 505 at both ends of the hollow tube 3, so as to achieve the correction of the small reaction force.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 1 is preferably a first flange.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second connecting member 4 is preferably a second flange.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pipe 3 is preferably a hollow pipe.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
