[0043] When the wind turbine grease filling device provided by the embodiment of the present application is used, the sealing cover is first opened, a certain amount of grease is added to the inside of the oil storage tank 1 through the oil inlet pipe 201, and the sealing cover is closed. The device is moved to the side of the wind turbine through the cooperation between the moving wheel 101 and the push rod, and then the liquid level control value of the liquid level controller 501 can be selectively set to automatically control the first oil pump 3 to pump the grease inside the oil storage tank 1 into the filling cylinder 5 in a certain amount, or the first oil pump 3 can be manually controlled to pump the grease inside the oil storage tank 1 into the filling cylinder 5, and then the drive motor 406 is started, and the drive motor 406 drives the adjusting screw 40 3 is rotated, and the adjusting seat 4 is driven to move up and down under the action of the guide rod 404, so as to adjust the height of the filling cylinder 5, so that the filling head 803 corresponds to the filling position, and the second oil pump 8 is started, and the second oil pump 8 discharges the grease inside the filling cylinder 5 through the filling head 803 to fill the wind turbine with grease. During this process, the staff does not need to hold the filling head 803 all the time to fill the grease; when encountering a position that is not convenient for filling, the filling head 803 can be removed from the placement seat 7, and the staff can hold the filling head 803 to fill the grease. The whole process of filling the grease of the wind turbine can significantly reduce the labor intensity of the staff.
