[0037] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the flexible transmission device of the utility model. This flexible transmission device can be used to connect with a speed increasing box to buffer the power transmitted to the speed increasing box.

[0042] The above-mentioned flexible transmission device includes: an input disc 1, an output disc 2, a buffer assembly and a transmission assembly. The input disc 1 and the output disc 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The input disc 1 is the power input end. The power generated by the wind wheel drives the input disc 1 to rotate. The output disc 2 is the power output end and can be connected to the input shaft of the speed increaser. The buffer assembly includes: a mounting seat 31, a plurality of elastic buffers 32 and a plurality of guide rods 33. The mounting seat 31 is arranged on the output disc 2. The plurality of guide rods 33 are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the mounting seat 31. Each guide rod 33 is provided with an elastic buffer 32. The transmission assembly includes a plurality of connecting piles 41 and a transmission arm 42. A plurality of connecting piles 41 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the input disc 1 facing the output disc 2. One end of each transmission arm 42 is rotatably connected to a connecting pile 41, and the other end is connected to an end of an elastic buffer 32 away from the mounting seat 31. The number of elastic buffers 32, guide rods 33, connecting piles 41 and transmission arms 42 is equal and connected correspondingly, that is, each transmission arm 42 is connected to an elastic buffer 32 and a connecting pile 41, and each guide rod 33 is provided with an elastic buffer 32. When the wind drives the wind wheel to rotate, the power generated by the wind wheel will drive the input disc 1 to rotate, and the connecting pile 41 on the input disc 1 will rotate synchronously with the input disc 1. Then the connecting pile 41 will drive the transmission arm 42 to rotate. When the transmission arm 42 starts to rotate, the end connected to the elastic buffer 32 will first compress the elastic buffer 32 along the axial direction of the guide rod 33. When the elastic buffer 32 is compressed to a certain extent, the transmission arm 42, the guide rod 33 and the mounting seat 31 will serve as the force arm for the output disc to rotate. The transmission arm 42 continues to rotate and drives the mounting seat 31 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the output disc 2, and the output disc 2 will output power to the input shaft of the speed increaser. The power input from the wind wheel to the flexible transmission device will be buffered by the elastic buffer 32 before being transmitted to the speed increaser, which is a flexible transmission. Therefore, the speed increasing box can be prevented from being subjected to a large torque instantly, thereby protecting the working safety of the components in the speed increasing box and extending the service life of the speed increasing box.

[0043] Furthermore, the input disk 1 and the output disk 2 are both circular disks, and the diameters of the circular disks are equal. The input disk 1 and the output disk 2 are also coaxially arranged. The input disk 1 and the output disk 2 having the same diameter can make the momentum transmission between the two more stable.

[0044] In other embodiments, the diameters of the input disk 1 and the output disk 2 may be unequal, for example, the diameter of the input disk 1 may be larger than the diameter of the output disk 2; the input disk 1 and the output disk 2 may not be circular disks, but disks of other shapes such as regular polygons.

[0045] A plurality of connection piles 41 are arranged at equal angles along the edge of the input disk 1 facing the output disk 2, and in this embodiment, there are five connection piles 41. That is, the angle formed by any two adjacent connection piles 41 and the center of the input disk 1 is 72°.

[0046] In other embodiments, the number of the connecting piles 41 may also be three, four, six, etc.

[0047] In other embodiments, the plurality of connection piles 41 may not be spaced at equal angles on the input disk 1 , that is, the angles formed between any two adjacent connection piles 41 and the center of the input disk 1 may be different.

[0048] Further, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the transmission assembly further includes a slider 43, and each transmission arm 42 is provided with a slider 43 at one end away from the connection pile 41, that is, the number of the sliders 43 is equal to the number of the transmission arms 42. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the transmission arms 42 and the sliders 43 are both five.

[0049] The slider 43 is provided with a circular hole for sliding connection with the guide rod 33. The slider 43 is also provided with a connecting post 44. The transmission arm 42 has through holes at both ends, the through hole at one end is rotatably connected to the connecting post 41 on the input disk 1, and the through hole at the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting post 44 on the slider 43.

[0050] Further, the mounting seat 31 is in the shape of a regular prism, and the number of side edges is equal to the number of elastic buffers 32, and the number of guide rods 33 is also equal to the number of elastic buffers 32. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting seat 31 is in the shape of a regular pentagonal prism, fixedly arranged at the center of the output disk 2, and the number of guide rods 33 and elastic buffers 32 are both five. The guide rod 33 is a round rod, and the end thereof away from the mounting seat 31 has a limit portion protruding from the body, that is, the size of the limit portion is larger than the size of the rod body, and the limit portion can prevent the slider 43 from detaching from the guide rod 33. A guide rod 33 is arranged on each side of the mounting seat 31, and the guide rod 33 is arranged along the radial direction of the output disk 2. An elastic buffer 32 is sleeved on each guide rod 33, and the elastic buffer 32 is preferably a spring, one end of which is connected to the slider 43, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the mounting seat 31.

[0051] The flexible transmission device also includes a limit assembly, which includes a plurality of limit blocks 51, which are arranged at intervals along the edge of the output disk 2 facing the input disk 1, and a limit block 51 is arranged between two adjacent connecting piles 41. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of limit blocks 51 are arranged at equal angles along the edge of the output disk 2 facing the input disk 1, and the limit blocks 51 are arranged at the edge of the output disk 2 along the axis extension direction of the guide rod 33. In this embodiment, the number of limit blocks 51 is the same as the number of connecting piles 41, which is also five. The limit blocks 51 are provided to limit the rotation angle of the transmission arm 42 to prevent the transmission arm 42 from excessive rotation.

[0052] The working process of the flexible transmission device provided in this embodiment is described as follows:

[0053] Under the action of external wind force, the wind wheel in the wind turbine generator is driven to rotate, and the power generated by the rotation of the wind wheel is transmitted to the input disk 1 to drive the input disk 1 to rotate. The connecting pile 41 set on the input disk 1 will rotate synchronously. When the connecting pile 41 rotates, it will apply a force to the transmission arm 42, and the transmission arm 42 will gradually rotate as a whole, and the two ends of the transmission arm 42 will rotate around the connecting pile 41 and the connecting column 44. During the initial process of rotation, the transmission arm 42 will apply a thrust to the slider 43, pushing the slider 43 to slide toward the side close to the mounting seat 31. The slider 43 will gradually compress the elastic buffer 32 during the sliding process on the guide rod 33. After the elastic buffer 32 is compressed to a certain extent, the transmission arm 42, the slider 43, the guide rod 33 and the mounting seat 31 will serve as the force arm for the rotation of the output disk, which can drive the mounting seat 31 to rotate quickly, thereby driving the output disk 2 to rotate, and then the power is transmitted to the input shaft of the speed increaser through the output disk 2. The speed increaser output shaft drives the generator to work, realizing wind power generation.

[0054] When the input power to the input disc 1 stops, the input disc 1 gradually stops rotating, and the compressed elastic buffer 32 is released and rebounds.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
