Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling, in particular to a cooling device for a planet carrier. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of a planetary gear transmission system, the planet carrier needs to have sufficient strength, high manufacturing precision, and good rigidity to support the planetary gears and transmit torque. In the application of a wind power gearbox, the planet carrier usually undergoes a heat treatment process to improve its performance. The cooling process after heat treatment is crucial for ensuring the material properties.
[0003] Currently, there are two main cooling methods: natural air cooling and air-cooling platform blowing cooling. Among them, natural air cooling means that after heat treatment, the planet carrier naturally cools to room temperature without any forced cooling measures. This method is simple but has a slow cooling speed. Air-cooling platform blowing cooling means that the heat-treated planet carrier is placed on a platform equipped with a fan for cooling, and the fan blows directly at the planet carrier to accelerate the cooling process. Although this method is faster than natural cooling, there are still some problems: the fan is usually only installed on one side of the planet carrier, resulting in low cooling efficiency in the other side and the internal area. Uneven cooling may cause inconsistent hardness distribution and large residual stress, thereby affecting the service life of the planet carrier. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , the present invention discloses a cooling device for a planet carrier, the planet carrier 100 includes a frame body 130 and a first shaft body 110 and a second shaft body 120 respectively located at both ends of the frame body 130, the first shaft body 110 has a first shaft hole 111 communicating with the inside of the frame body 130, the second shaft body 120 has a second shaft hole 121 communicating with the inside of the frame body 130, and the cooling device includes:
[0034] A rotatable mounting disc 500, and a mounting portion for mounting the planet carrier 100 is provided on the mounting disc 500;
[0035] A first cooling assembly 200, which is disposed below the planet carrier 100, and the first cooling assembly 200 includes a blowing air duct 220 for blowing air into the first shaft hole 111 or the second shaft hole 121;
[0036] A second cooling assembly 300, which is disposed laterally of the planet carrier 100, and the second cooling assembly 300 includes a plurality of fans.
[0037] Specifically, in the present application, the planet carrier 100 is disposed on the mounting disc 500, and the plurality of fans in the second cooling assembly 300 blow air. At the same time, the planet carrier 100 rotates with the mounting disc 500, continuously changing the air-receiving position of the planet carrier 100, so that each outer side surface of the planet carrier 100 can receive air, and the cooling speed of each outer side surface is more uniform. At the same time, the first cooling assembly 200 is provided to ventilate the first shaft hole 111 or the second shaft hole 121, so that the cooling air enters the frame body 130 from the first shaft hole 111 and is discharged from the second shaft hole 121, or enters the frame body 130 from the second shaft hole 121 and is discharged from the first shaft hole 111, so that the cooling air can cool the planet carrier 100 from the inside, so that the planet carrier 100 can be cooled both inside and outside, the cooling speed inside and outside is more uniform, the cooling speed is faster, the residual stress can be greatly reduced, and the service life of the planet carrier 100 can be extended.
[0038] Further, the length of the first shaft body 110 is greater than the length of the second shaft body 120, the planet carrier 100 is located above the mounting disc 500, and the first shaft body 110 is connected to the mounting portion.
[0039] Specifically, since the length of the first shaft body 110 is greater than the length of the second shaft body 120, the first shaft body 110 is mounted on the mounting portion, so that there is a large space between the mounting disc 500 and the frame body 130, so that the air from the fan can blow to the lower surface of the frame body 130.
[0040] Further, the second cooling assembly 300 includes a first fan 310, the first fan 310 is at the same height as the frame body 130, and the blowing direction of the first fan 310 is parallel to the working surface.
[0041] Specifically, the first fan 310 is 1500 mm from the ground, at the same height as the frame body 130, and the blowing direction of the first fan 310 is parallel to the ground, so that the air from the first fan 310 can enter the inside of the frame body 130 through the side opening of the frame body 130, so as to facilitate rapid cooling.
[0042] Furthermore, the second cooling assembly 300 includes a second fan 320 , the height of the second fan 320 is higher than the frame 130 , and the blowing direction of the second fan 320 gradually tilts downward from the second cooling assembly 300 toward the planetary frame 100 .
[0043] Specifically, the second fan 320 is installed at a height of 2000 mm from the ground, which is higher than the height of the frame 130. When the second fan 320 blows air downward, it can blow air to the second shaft 120, the connection between the second shaft 120 and the frame 130, and the upper surface of the frame 130.
[0044] Furthermore, the second cooling assembly 300 includes a third fan 330 and a fourth fan 340, the heights of the third fan 330 and the fourth fan 340 are both lower than the frame 130, and the blowing directions of the third fan 330 and the fourth fan 340 gradually tilt upward from the second cooling assembly 300 toward the planetary frame 100.
[0045] Specifically, the third fan 330 and the fourth fan 340 are both at a height of 900 mm from the ground, which is lower than the height of the frame 130, wherein the third fan 330 blows air obliquely upward at 30° toward the first shaft 110; the fourth fan 340 blows air obliquely upward at 45° toward the connection between the second shaft 120 and the frame 130 and the lower surface of the frame 130.
[0046] It should be noted that the first fan 310, the second fan 320, the third fan 330 and the fourth fan 340 are all installed on the same mounting frame 350, and the four fans are on the same side of the planetary frame 100 to prevent the wind directions of multiple fans from offsetting each other. At the same time, since the mounting plate 500 drives the planetary frame 100 to rotate, all sides of the planetary frame 100 can be exposed to wind and cooled quickly and evenly.
[0047] Furthermore, a fixing frame 400 is included, and the mounting plate 500 is rotatably disposed on the fixing frame 400;
[0048] A follower gear 510 is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate 500 , a driving motor 410 is disposed on the fixing frame 400 , a driving gear 411 is disposed on the output shaft of the driving motor 410 , and the driving gear 411 is meshed with the follower gear 510 .
[0049] Specifically, the output shaft of the driving motor 410 rotates, driving the driving gear 411 to rotate, and then driving the follower gear 510 to rotate, and finally driving the mounting plate 500 and the planet carrier 100 on the mounting plate 500 to rotate, so that different sides of the planet carrier 100 are evenly exposed to wind.
[0050] Furthermore, the first cooling component 200 further includes a fifth fan 210 connected to the air blowing pipe 220.

[0052] Specifically, since heat is transferred from bottom to top, by arranging the vertical section 222 below the planet carrier 100 and blowing air upward, the air blown by the fifth fan 210 can enter the frame body 130 upward through the first shaft hole 111, and be discharged through the second shaft hole 121 to take away the heat inside the planet carrier 100, so as to achieve rapid cooling inside the planet carrier 100.
[0053] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 610 and an equipment control box 600 are also provided. The temperature sensor 610 is used to collect the temperature of the planet carrier 100. The equipment control box 600 is used to receive the signal of the temperature sensor 610, and control the opening and closing of the first cooling component 200 and the second cooling component 300 and the magnitude of the output power according to the signal of the temperature sensor 610, so as to achieve automatic cooling of the planet carrier 100, automatic shutdown after cooling, and automatic adjustment of the output power of the fan during the cooling process.
