Hoisting the bearing heater into the wind turbine tower is time-consuming and laborious, with a high labor intensity. Additionally, the working principle of the medium-frequency induction heaters currently on the market is based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon, and the heating is achieved by generating induced current in a metal conductor. However, if applied to bearing heating, there is currently no matching tooling. Summary of the Utility Model:

[0007] Further, both the insulating resin box and the support column are cylindrical, and the support column and the insulating resin box are integrally formed.

[0008] Further, a temperature sensor is provided through the side wall of the insulating resin box.

[0009] Advantages of the present utility model: Place the bearing to be heated on the high-temperature resistant insulating heat-insulating plate, connect the two ends of the electromagnetic wire to the positive and negative electrodes of the intermediate frequency induction heater, and use the intermediate frequency induction heater to apply alternating current to the inner ring electromagnetic wire and the outer ring electromagnetic wire, so that the bearing generates a certain induced current to heat the bearing; after the bearing heating is completed, pull out the limit pin, and the insulating resin box moves down to the base, while the bearing and the high-temperature resistant insulating heat-insulating plate stay on the backing plate, which is convenient for taking away the bearing for installation operation; the structure of the present utility model is simple, and it is used to match the intermediate frequency induction heater to heat the bearing, which is convenient for the bearing installation after the generator is overhauled in the wind turbine tower barrel.
