[0043] Furthermore, in the modular wind turbine nacelle of the utility model, the exhaust port 18 is arranged in a V-shape, and a meteorological frame 7 is arranged near the middle of the exhaust port 18 on the top shell 15, thereby effectively avoiding that the exhaust port 18 will not affect the accuracy of wind measurement by the meteorological frame 7 when exhausting air.

[0045] Furthermore, in the modular wind turbine generator nacelle of the utility model, the front baffle 16 is formed by splicing a plurality of small baffles, thereby facilitating assembly.
[0046] Specifically, when modularly assembling the nacelle cover 1, first fix the tower top shell 11 and the bottom shell 13 to the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4 through the support bracket, then quickly splice the two sides of the bottom shell and the tower top shell 11 with the dovetail groove 151 on one side of the arc shell 12 through the dovetail block 19, and quickly splice the dovetail groove 151 on the other side of the arc shell 12 with the dovetail block 19 on one side of the side shell 14, then quickly splice the dovetail block 19 on the other side of the side shell 14 with the dovetail groove 151 on one side of the arc shell 12, and quickly splice the two sides of the top shell 15 with the other side of the arc shell 12 through the dovetail block 19, then fix the front baffle 16 and the rear baffle 17 to the front and rear ends of the side shell 14 through the mortise and tenon structure, and complete the modular assembly;
[0047] When the generator set is working, low-temperature air from the outside enters the heat exchanger 231 through the first air inlet opening 141 and the gear box cooling air inlet 232 connected thereto. At the same time, after the high-temperature lubricating oil of the gear box 21 enters the heat exchanger 231, the low-temperature air from the outside exchanges heat with the high-temperature lubricating oil, thereby completing the cooling of the gear box. The heated outside air then passes through the gear box cooling air outlet 234 and the exhaust port 18 connected thereto to quickly discharge heat. During the cooling process of the gear box 21, only heat exchange occurs between the outside air and the interior of the cabin, thereby avoiding the introduction of external impurities into the cabin. The main heat sources in the cabin are the gear box 21 and the generator 22. The cabin cooling air inlet 235 of the cabin cooling system is located between the gear box 21 and the generator 22, and the cabin cooling air outlet 236 is located in front of the gear box 21. The high-temperature air inside the cabin enters the heat exchanger 231 through the cabin cooling air inlet 235, exchanges heat with the low-temperature air from the outside, thereby completing the cooling of the air inside the cabin. The heated outside air is then discharged from the cabin through the exhaust port 18. Compared with the gearbox 21, the air inside the cabin requires a lower temperature. Therefore, inside the heat exchanger 231, the air inside the cabin takes precedence over the lubricating oil of the gearbox 21 and first exchanges heat with the outside low-temperature air. The heat generated by the generator 22 enters through the second air inlet opening 142 through the outside low-temperature air and the heated air after heat exchange with the generator 22 is discharged through the air outlet opening 143. During the cooling process of the generator 22, only heat exchange occurs between the outside air and the inside of the cabin, avoiding the introduction of external impurities into the cabin.
[0048] In summary, compared with the prior art, the wind turbine main frame of the utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0049] The cabin cover can be produced in a standardized manner, and modular assembly can be achieved through the coordination of dovetail grooves and dovetail blocks, which effectively improves production efficiency and installation efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs. The cabin cover shell is made of metal honeycomb panels, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the cabin cover, has good noise reduction effects, and improves strength and rigidity. There is no need to lay lightning protection cables in the cabin cover, and it is easy to recycle. The gearbox and cabin are cooled by the first cooling assembly, and the generator is cooled by the second cooling assembly. Both cooling assemblies are air-cooled. During the cooling process, only heat exchange occurs between the outside air and the inside of the cabin, thereby effectively avoiding the introduction of external impurities into the cabin and effectively improving the service life.
