Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind power generation detection, and more specifically, to a wireless monitoring device for structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades. Background Art

[0002] Due to the characteristics of being clean, safe, and renewable, wind energy has become a research and development hotspot in various countries. In the process of converting wind energy into electrical energy, wind turbines play a key role. The wind turbine blades, which are key components, are continuously impacted by alternating loads such as aerodynamic forces and inertial forces during operation, resulting in irregular swings and torsional deformations. Extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms and low temperatures will exacerbate the abnormal vibrations and rapid deformations of the blades and cause icing, which easily leads to cracks in the blades. In the light case, the output of the unit will decrease, and in the severe case, the entire blade will break and fail, threatening the safe production of the unit. After retrieval, a wind turbine blade vibration state monitoring device is disclosed in a Chinese patent with the authorized announcement number CN213870131U, which includes a vibration data acquisition device, a vibration data transceiver device, and a rotational speed monitoring device. The vibration data acquisition device is arranged inside each blade and is used to collect the vibration data of each blade. The vibration data transceiver device is located inside the wind turbine hub and is used to receive the collected blade vibration data and wirelessly transmit the vibration data of each blade to a ring network switch. The rotational speed monitoring device is installed inside the wind turbine nacelle and is used to collect the blade rotational speed data and wirelessly transmit the rotational speed data to the ring network switch. The ring network switch is arranged inside the nacelle, and the ring network switch uploads the received data to the booster station data server. The wind turbine blade vibration state acquisition device used in the utility model adopts a special installation and processing method to achieve stable data transmission.

[0003] However, in the actual use process of this solution, the data collection mechanism is simply assembled on the wind power generation equipment. Due to the lack of corresponding vibration reduction and strengthening fastening structures, the data collection mechanism may become loose during use, which is not conducive to the normal use of the wind power generation equipment.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements in this regard and proposed a wireless monitoring device for structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the existing device is prone to looseness during use, the utility model provides a wireless monitoring device for structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A wireless monitoring device for structural health monitoring of a fan blade, including a fan body. One end of the fan body is equipped with a main shaft. The inner wall of the main shaft is provided with several connecting components. A data collection mechanism is connected between several connecting components. The connecting components include a fixed seat, a damper, a spring, and a connecting plate. One side of the fixed seat is equipped with a damper. The output end of the damper is equipped with a connecting plate. One side of the connecting plate is connected to the outer wall of the data collection mechanism. The outer wall of the damper is sleeved with a spring. The internal of the data collection mechanism is provided with a monitoring system.

[0008] Further, the outer wall of the main shaft is equipped with blades, and the inside of the blades is provided with a hollow chamber.

[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that by setting a hollow chamber inside the blade, while reducing the self-weight of the blade, it is also convenient to provide space for the installation of the biaxial vibration sensor.

[0010] Further, several biaxial vibration sensors are arranged inside the hollow chamber. The output ends of several biaxial vibration sensors are respectively connected with fixed shafts. One ends of the two fixed shafts are respectively connected to the inner wall of the hollow chamber.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that through the connection and use of two fixed shafts, the biaxial vibration sensor can detect the double layers of the inner wall of the blade, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0012] Further, several biaxial vibration sensors are equally spaced from each other and are respectively located at both ends and the middle of the blade.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that by utilizing the positional distribution relationship between the biaxial vibration sensors, it can achieve a more comprehensive vibration detection of the blade.

[0014] Further, a wireless signal transmitter is arranged between several biaxial vibration sensors and the data collection mechanism.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that through the setting of the wireless signal transmitter, it is convenient for the biaxial vibration sensor to transmit data to the data collection mechanism.

[0016] Further, the induction receiving module, the data collection module, the data storage module, and the wireless transmission module are sequentially connected for data transmission.

[0017] Further, a signal transceiver is formed between the induction receiving module and the wireless transmission module, and a data processor is formed between the data collection module and the data storage module.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are as follows. Through the setting of the signal transceiver, the signal reception and transmission between the induction receiving module and the wireless transmission module are made more convenient. At the same time, through the setting of the data processor, it is beneficial to store and process the detected data.

[0019] Furthermore, bolts are threadedly connected to both sides of the fixing seat, and the fixing seat is connected to the inner wall of the main shaft through the bolts.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are as follows. Through the connection and use of the bolts, the fixing seat and the main shaft form a detachable connection, thus facilitating the disconnection of the connection component from the main shaft.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows. Through the coordinated use of the main shaft, the connection component and the data collection mechanism, the data collection mechanism in the device is more stably fixed on the fan equipment. Among them, through the connection and use of the fixing seat, one end of multiple dampers can be fixedly positioned with the data collection mechanism through the connecting plate. Then, through the elastic action of the spring, the data collection mechanism located inside the main shaft is kept stable, effectively reducing the adverse effects brought by the mechanical vibration of the fan body itself. And by setting a monitoring system inside the data collection mechanism, it wirelessly transmits the detected data through the wireless transmission module. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
