Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] Embodiment 1
[0034] As Figures 1-5 shown, this embodiment proposes, including a tower 1, a maintenance mechanism 3 is arranged on the surface of the tower 1, and a protection mechanism 2 is arranged above the tower 1;
[0035] The protection mechanism 2 is located above the maintenance mechanism 3;
[0036] The protection mechanism 2 includes a support part and a reinforcement part;
[0037] The support part includes a fixing frame 27 and a protection plate 24, and the reinforcement part includes a toothed plate 213 and a fixing sleeve 210;
[0038] The top surface of the tower 1 is rotatably provided with a nacelle 22 through a rotating seat. The surface of the output end of the nacelle 22 is equipped with blades 21. A connecting sleeve 23 is installed on the surface of the nacelle 22. The front surface of the connecting sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the back surface of the fixed frame 27. A sliding plate 25 is slidably arranged on the inner side surface of the fixed frame 27. A first connecting block 26 is fixedly arranged on the front surface of the sliding plate 25. The front surface of the first connecting block 26 slidably penetrates through the front end surface of the inner side of the fixed frame 27 and extends to the front of the fixed frame 27. The front surface of the first connecting block 26 is fixedly connected to the back surface of the protection plate 24. The front surface of the protection plate 24 is in contact with the back surface of the blade 21. Four springs 28 and four dampers 29 are fixedly arranged on the front end surface of the inner side of the fixed frame 27. The back surfaces of the four springs 28 and the back surfaces of the four dampers 29 are both fixedly connected to the front surface of the sliding plate 25. The back surface of the sliding plate 25 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fixed sleeve 210. A telescopic block 211 is slidably arranged on the inner side surface of the fixed sleeve 210. An extrusion block 212 is fixedly arranged on the left and right side surfaces of the telescopic block 211. The front end surface of the inner side of the fixed frame 27 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the toothed plate 213. The surface of the extrusion block 212 meshes with the tooth surface of the toothed plate 213. A square plate 215 is fixedly arranged on the back surface of the telescopic block 211. An elastic member 214 is fixedly arranged on the right side surface of the square plate 215.

A wedge-shaped groove is formed on the inner side surface of the fixed frame 27. A wedge-shaped block is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the wedge-shaped groove. The left side surface of the wedge-shaped block is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the sliding plate 25. The protection mechanism 2 and the blades 21 are both provided in three groups.
[0039] In this embodiment, the protection mechanism 2 is provided to support the blades 21, preventing the blades from being bent by strong winds, which may cause the tips of the blades 21 to collide with the tower 1, resulting in damage to the blades 21 and a deterioration in the wind power generation effect in the future. When supporting the blades, the force of the blades being bent can be offset by the springs and dampers 29. By setting the toothed plate 213, elastic member 214, telescopic block 211, and extrusion block 212, the blades can be strengthened. Even when the bending degree of the blades is relatively high, they can still be supported, improving the self-supporting property of the protection plate 24 and making the protection effect on the blades 21 better.
[0040] Embodiment 2
[0041] Such as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, based on the same concept as in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, this embodiment also proposes that the maintenance mechanism 3 includes two extension plates 37. A support plate 31 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the tower 1. Two slide rails 38 are fixedly arranged on the top surface of the support plate 31. Two connection grooves are respectively formed on the bottom surfaces of the two extension plates 37. The surfaces of the two slide rails 38 are respectively slidably connected with the inner walls of the two connection grooves. A guardrail 32 is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the support plate 31. Two fixing frames 36 are fixedly arranged on the top surface of the support plate 31. Two second connection blocks 35 are respectively slidably arranged on the inner sides of the two fixing frames 36. The fronts of the two second connection blocks 35 are respectively fixedly connected with the backs of the two extension plates 37. Two fixing grooves are respectively formed on the top surfaces of the two second connection blocks 35. Two locking bolts 39 respectively thread through the top surfaces of the two fixing frames 36 and extend to the inner walls of the two fixing grooves. The bottom surfaces of the two locking bolts 39 are respectively in pressing contact with the inner walls of the two fixing grooves. A ladder 33 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the tower 1. A through groove is formed through the top surface of the support plate 31, and the position of the through groove corresponds to the position of the ladder 33. Two reinforcing plates 34 are fixedly arranged on the surface of the tower 1. The top surfaces of the two reinforcing plates 34 are both fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the support plate 31.
[0042] In this embodiment, by providing the maintenance mechanism 3, maintenance personnel can climb above the support plate 31 after a failure occurs in the blade 21 and the nacelle 22. By providing the guardrail 32, the maintenance personnel can be protected. And by providing two extension plates 37, the area of the support plate 31 can be increased, making the maintenance of the blade 21 and the nacelle 22 more efficient. By rotating the locking bolt 39, the second connection block 35 can be fixed. After the second connection block 35 is fixed, the extension plate 37 can be fixed, making the extension plate 37 more stable during maintenance and improving safety.
[0043] During use, when the blade 21 rotates, its back surface may come into contact with the protection plate 24. After the blade 21 bends backward, the protection plate 24 can support it. After the blade bends, the protection plate 24 can move backward. When the protection plate 24 moves backward, the sliding plate 25 will move synchronously with it. When the sliding plate 25 moves backward, the spring 28 and the damper 29 can pull it, so as to offset the force of the blade 21 bending backward. When the sliding plate 25 moves backward, it can drive the telescopic block 211 and the extrusion block 212 to move synchronously. When the extrusion block 212 moves backward to a position where it can move toward the toothed plate 213 through the elastic member 214, when the sliding plate 25 stops moving, the elastic member 214 can make the extrusion block 212 engage with the toothed plate 213, thereby strengthening the sliding plate 25. After strengthening, the supporting force of the protection plate 24 can be improved. Improving the supporting force of the protection plate 24 can prevent the phenomenon of the blade tip sweeping the tower. By providing a ladder 33, after a failure occurs in the engine room, the staff can climb above the supporting plate 31. By controlling the movement of the two extension plates 37, the area of the supporting plate 31 can be increased, making it more convenient for maintenance. By rotating the locking bolt 39, the second connecting block 35 can be fixed. After the second connecting block 35 is fixed, the extension plate 37 can be fixed, making the extension plate 37 more stable during maintenance and improving the safety.
[0044] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions or modifications made on the basis of the present invention to solve substantially the same technical problems and achieve substantially the same technical effects are all covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
