Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular relates to an elastic support resetting device for a gear box of a wind power generator set. Background Art

[0002] During wind turbine operation, the gearbox is subject to axial forces generated by constantly fluctuating wind conditions. The elastic supports on either side of the gearbox, acting as positioning supports, are subject to repeated push and pull forces. If the forces exceed the holding friction of the elastic supports, they may begin to move, affecting the gearbox's operational stability and service life. Severe movement can even cause the gearbox to tip over, a safety hazard.

[0003] Under the current circumstances, if the displaced elastic support needs to be reset, the gearbox can only be lowered from the tower for maintenance. This maintenance plan has a long response time, high operation and maintenance costs, and great safety risks. The construction period is greatly affected by the weather and road conditions in the wind farm. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a gearbox elastic support reset device for a wind turbine generator set, which solves the technical problems of the existing maintenance solution for resetting the elastic support that has moved and shifted, such as long response time, high operation and maintenance costs, and great safety risks.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A gearbox elastic support reset device for a wind turbine generator set includes a tool support seat, a hydraulic jack and two tool support plates. A plurality of through-holes are opened on both sides of each tool support plate. A plurality of tool screws are connected between the two tool support plates. Each tool screw is inserted into a corresponding through-hole of the two tool support plates. Tool nuts are provided at both ends of the tool screws. The tool support seat is used to support the hydraulic jack. The piston rod of the hydraulic jack presses against the bottom of one of the tool support plates.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of ribs are provided on the tooling support plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the adoption of the present invention can restore the normal operation of the gearbox in time, avoid the occurrence of safety accidents, and reduce the economic losses of the wind farm; using the elastic support reset device for tower maintenance, maintenance personnel only need to arrive with materials, equipment, and tools to go up the tower for maintenance, and there is no need to wait for the crane to enter the site; the present invention saves the cost of returning the gearbox to the factory, renting a crane, leveling the road surface, etc.; the maintenance work is completed inside the cabin throughout the process, and there is no need for an external crane to open the cabin cover, lift the box body, and other high-altitude open-air operations, which greatly reduces the safety risks; the cabin cover does not need to be opened during the maintenance process, so the maintenance personnel, various equipment and lines in the cabin are not affected by severe weather such as rain, snow, and scorching sun; the requirements for roads, weather, and especially wind speed are relatively low (compared with on-site maintenance by a crane), and the construction period is highly controllable;

[0009] The utility model aims to solve the problem of gear box elastic support movement caused by wind changes and reduce the maintenance cost and time caused by elastic support displacement. The solution achieves the purpose of directly resetting the elastic support on the tower by using special tooling (including tooling support seat, hydraulic jack and tooling support plate, etc.), avoiding the inconvenience of needing to take the gear box off the tower for maintenance in the traditional method.
