Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brakes, in particular to an automatic brake torque regulating device. Background Art
[0002] Active hydraulic disc brake is a normally open brake that uses hydraulic pressure for braking. It is widely used in the yaw mechanism of wind turbines. Its main function is to ensure that the horizontal axis wind turbine can effectively adjust the rotation direction under different wind speed and wind direction conditions through multiple pairs of brakes, so as to maximize the use of wind and improve power generation efficiency. In addition, the brake can not only play the role of wind power generation, yaw and unwinding of the wind turbine, but also has good response speed and braking stability, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the wind power generation system under various working conditions.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN104500619A discloses a wind power active hydraulic yaw disc brake with a friction plate extreme wear protection function. It is mainly composed of a brake cylinder, a piston, a friction plate, a sealing assembly, a friction plate baffle and a pressure column. The friction plate of the present invention is installed in the cylinder or the cavity formed by the cylinder and the baffle, and can also be directly pressed under the pressure column. The steel back of the friction plate contacts the front end of the piston or the pressure column. The piston pushes the friction plate to press the end face of the brake disc under the action of the pressure oil to generate a set braking torque. When the friction plate is worn, the piston will continue to push the friction plate to move in the thickness direction of the brake disc under the action of the pressure oil. When the friction plate is worn to a certain extent, the piston moves forward under the action of the pressure oil, and its rear end face passes over the main seal. At this time, the pressure oil will directly release pressure through the oil drain channel, and the piston will not continue to push the friction plate to press against the brake disc, avoiding the friction plate steel back that has been worn to the limit directly rubbing against the end face of the brake disc, thereby protecting the brake disc.
[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, the wind power active hydraulic yaw disc brake enters the brake cylinder from the pressure oil port through the set high-value pressure oil, pushing the piston forward, thereby making the friction plate and the brake disc in close contact and applying a braking torque. However, when the friction plate is worn during use, although the input hydraulic pressure remains unchanged, the braking torque generated may decrease due to the reduction in the thickness of the friction plate. This situation will not only affect the braking effect of the brake disc, resulting in a decrease in braking performance, but may even cause slippage in some cases, posing potential safety hazards to the wind turbine generator set. In view of this, we propose an automatic brake torque adjustment device. Utility Model Content
