[0002] The hub of a wind turbine unit is an important component in a wind power generation unit. Its main functions are to fix the blades and form a rotor system, and at the same time connect the rotor system to the main shaft. As the basis for installing the blades, the hub needs to bear the bending moment caused by the mass of the blades, the pressure caused by the wind force, and the reaction force generated by the wind turbine shaft on the above stresses, and these stresses are cyclic and alternating.

[0003] Chinese Publication No.: CN217558468U discloses a position detection and locking device for a wind turbine hub, including a collision block, an induction component, and a rotating shaft large disc. By colliding the collision block installed on the rotating shaft large disc with the limit switch installed on the induction component, it is detected whether the rotating shaft large disc rotates in place, and then the rotating shaft large disc is locked in the in-place position. However, in the application device, the limit switch is installed at the end of the threaded column, and the outer side of the threaded column does not contact the protection tube. The threaded column is supported by a slider and a screw rod, and the supporting ability is poor, and it is easy to be damaged under the impact of the collision block. Moreover, the collision block directly impacts the limit switch, which is easy to cause damage to the limit switch, resulting in a short service life of the induction component.

A collision block is installed outside the rotating shaft large disc. The induction component includes a rectangular cylinder bolted to the wind turbine unit body. A rectangular protruding rod is slidably connected inside the rectangular cylinder. A pushing and pulling component connected to the rectangular protruding rod is installed inside the rectangular cylinder. An abutting block is installed at the end of the rectangular protruding rod. A limit switch that can contact the collision block is telescopically installed at the upper end of the abutting block.

[0008] Further, the push-pull assembly includes a support plate installed on one side inside the rectangular cylinder. A bearing seat is provided at the center of the support plate. A threaded rod passes through and is bearing-connected to the bearing seat.

[0025] Combined with the above structure, when the wind turbine hub does not need to be locked, the limit switch 9 is located inside the rectangular cylinder 5 for protection. When the wind turbine hub needs to be locked, the limit switch 9 is pushed out of the rectangular cylinder 5 by the push-pull component 7. When the rotating shaft large plate 2 rotates to make the impact block 4 hit the limit switch 9, the hub locking system timely locks the position of the rotating shaft large plate 2 to realize the automatic locking of the wind turbine hub.

[0026] Combined with the attached Figure 3 , the push-pull component 7 includes a support plate 10 installed on one side inside the rectangular cylinder 5. A bearing seat 11 is provided at the center of the support plate 10. A threaded rod 12 passes through and is bearing-connected to the bearing seat 11.

The other side of the threaded rod 12 is connected to a power component.

[0027] Combined with the attached Figure 3, the power assembly includes a first bevel gear 13 fixedly connected to one side of the threaded rod 12. A rotating shaft 14 is connected between the two side walls of the rectangular cylinder 5 by bearings. A second bevel gear 15 meshing with the first bevel gear 13 is provided on the rotating shaft 14. A motor 16 drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 14 is installed on the side wall of the rectangular cylinder 5.

[0028] Combined with the above structure, when the push-pull assembly 7 is in use, the motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 15 rotates, so that the first bevel gear 13 meshing with the second bevel gear 15 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate, so that the rectangular extension rod 6 extends and retracts in the rectangular cylinder 5, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the limit switch 9; the connection structure of the rectangular extension rod 6 in the rectangular cylinder 5 is compact, and the supporting ability for the rectangular extension rod 6 is strong, facilitating the support of the impacted limit switch 9 and the abutting block 8.

The limit switch 9 is electrically connected to the hub locking system and the indicator light 18. When the indicator light 18 is on, it indicates that the hub has been locked.

[0033] The specific usage method is as follows:

[0034] When it is necessary to lock the hub of the wind turbine generator, the motor 16 of the push-pull assembly 7 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 15 rotates, so that the first bevel gear 13 meshing with the second bevel gear 15 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate, so that the rectangular extension rod 6 extends out of the rectangular cylinder 5, that is, the limit switch 9 extends out; the rotation of the rotating shaft large disc 2 causes the striker 4 to impact the limit switch 9, and the limit switch 9 drops into the protection groove 801 under the buffering action of the buffer spring 17, so that the striker 4 contacts the abutting block 8, thereby protecting the limit switch 9 and extending the service life of the limit switch 9; at this time, the hub locking system locks the position of the rotating shaft large disc 2 in time, realizes the automatic locking of the hub of the wind turbine generator, and indicates that the hub has been locked by the lighting of the indicator light 18.

[0035] The above describes the present utility model and its implementation manners. Such description is not restrictive.
