Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine generator sets, in particular to a sand and dust separation filter. Background Art
[0002] At present, dust, pollen and other pollutants enter the cabin of wind turbines, which may cause equipment failure, output loss, increased energy consumption and other problems. In particular, wind turbine cabins are developing towards more integrated, precise, efficient and durable directions. Therefore, providing clean air for wind turbine cabins is a very necessary prerequisite; air intake filters are essential to keep the cabin, generator, tower and electrical equipment of wind turbines clean, especially in harsh and corrosive environments containing a lot of sand, dust, salt spray, water and moisture.
[0003] In the prior art, a wind turbine generator set generally consists of a hub 1, a speed increaser 2, a nacelle 3, an electronic control system 4, a cooling system 5, a lubrication system 7, a ventilation and filtration system 8, a shock absorption system 10, a generator 6, a base 9, and blades 11. The air ventilation and filtration system 8 installed on the wind turbine nacelle 3 adopts a two-stage filtration mode: the first-stage coarse-effect section often uses a G2-G4 primary-efficiency filter, and the second-stage medium-efficiency section often uses an F5-F9 medium-efficiency filter. However, in wind turbines used in sandstorm environments, the particulate matter filtered is generally larger-sized sand and dust, which is easily captured by metal mesh filters. If common non-woven fabrics or glass fiber filters are used, they are easily clogged. Due to the structural limitations of metal mesh filters, the purification efficiency of general metal mesh filters is difficult to exceed the G3 level. The production of metal mesh filters exceeding the G3 level not only increases the material cost significantly, but also increases the filter resistance. Taking all factors into consideration, existing wind power generation equipment has to use metal mesh filters, whose filtration level is approximately between G2 and G3. Even so, the use of metal mesh filters will bring the following problems:
[0004] Regular cleaning is required. Since the filter is installed at the air inlet outside the wind turbine cabin, especially the metal mesh filter, which is installed on the outermost side, the entire wind turbine runs 24 hours a day, so the filter is always in use. In areas with heavy sand and dust, the filter's service life will become very short. Depending on the outdoor meteorological environment, the metal mesh filter generally needs to be cleaned once a month to half a month. If there is a sandstorm, it must be cleaned immediately.
[0005] Increased maintenance and operating costs. Wind power bases are generally built in sparsely populated areas, where hundreds of wind turbines are concentrated. To fully utilize wind energy, each wind turbine is hundreds of meters apart. Moreover, the wind turbine nacelles are located more than ten meters above the ground. It takes a lot of time and money for personnel to enter the wind turbines for maintenance.
[0006] Increased resource consumption: Metal mesh filters need to be cleaned after a period of use. Thorough cleaning requires a combination of detergent and water, which undoubtedly consumes a large amount of water and produces a large amount of wastewater. In daily use, wind power bases generally perform high-pressure purges on metal mesh filters to save water and reduce resource waste. However, this results in incomplete cleaning of the metal mesh filters and consumes a large amount of manpower.
[0007] Therefore, a dust separation filter is proposed for use of a wind turbine in a dusty environment. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] The utility model provides Figure 1-3The sand and dust separation filter shown in the figure includes a filter housing 100, a plurality of corrugated metal plates 200 and a sand discharge mechanism. The filter housing 100 is a U-shaped frame with an open bottom end. The plurality of corrugated metal plates 200 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the inner side of the filter housing 100. A corrugated channel for gas circulation is formed between two adjacent corrugated metal plates 200. The sand discharge mechanism is arranged at the bottom end of the filter housing 100. The sand discharge mechanism is used to transfer the sand and stones falling in the corrugated channel to the outside of the filter housing 100. The plurality of corrugated metal plates 200 are stacked in parallel in the filter housing 100, so that a corrugated gap channel is formed between two adjacent corrugated metal plates 200. When the air carrying sand and dust is discharged from the filter housing 100, the sand discharge mechanism can effectively prevent the sand and dust from flowing out of the filter housing 100. When passing through the gap channel between the corrugated metal plates 200, the dust particles carried in the airflow will collide with the inner wall of the corrugated metal plate 200 in the corrugated gap channel during multiple deflections, thereby capturing the dust. A part of the dust particles captured by the corrugated metal plate 200 will fall into the sand discharge mechanism along the corrugated metal plate 200 under the action of gravity, while the other part will temporarily adhere to the surface of the corrugated metal plate 200. As time goes by, this part of the dust particles will accumulate. When the weight of the accumulation reaches a certain limit, it will also fall into the sand discharge mechanism under the action of gravity. The collected dust will be discharged through the sand discharge mechanism, which can prevent the dust particles from accumulating in the dust separation filter.
[0027] Furthermore, the top surface of the corrugated metal plate 200 is W-shaped, the filter housing 100 is made of metal, and the filter housing 100 is any one of stainless steel, aluminum alloy or painted plate. The filter housing 100 and the corrugated metal plate 200 are both made of metal, so that the rigidity of the two is higher, the structure is more stable, and the service life is longer. The front and back of the filter housing 100 are fixedly connected with multiple isolation columns 300. The multiple isolation columns 300 located on the same side of the filter housing 100 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom. A card slot is provided on the side of the isolation column 300 close to the corrugated metal plate 200, and the side wall of the corrugated metal plate 200 is inserted and connected with the card slot. Through the setting of the isolation column 300, the corrugated metal plate 200 located inside the filter housing 100 is positioned to keep the corrugated metal plate 200 firmly installed.
[0028] Furthermore, the sand discharge mechanism includes a dust collection device 400, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the filter housing 100, and the inner side of the dust collection device 400 is connected to the wavy channel between the two adjacent corrugated metal plates 200. The dust collection device 400 can adopt a cover body with a collection groove to collect dust particles falling from the side walls of the corrugated metal plates 200; the sand discharge mechanism also includes a dust exhaust fan 600, which is arranged on one side of the dust collection device 400, and a dust discharge pipe 500 is provided between the dust exhaust fan 600 and the dust collection device 400. The dust collection device 400 is connected to the feed port of the dust exhaust fan 600 through the dust discharge pipe 500. The dust particles collected in the dust collection device 400 are discharged through the dust discharge pipe 500 by the dust exhaust fan 600, so as to clean the dust particles accumulated in the dust collection device 400, thereby eliminating the tedious manual cleaning and facilitating maintenance.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
