Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind power, in particular to a bearing pre-tightening tool for a wind power gear box. Background Art
[0002] Preload means that after the bearing is installed, a certain amount of pre-deformation is generated between the rolling elements and the raceways so that all the rolling elements are in a uniformly compressed state. Bearing preload has the advantages of improving rotation accuracy, increasing rigidity, and increasing the life of the bearing.
[0003] In the tapered roller bearing structure at a specific position in a wind turbine gearbox, the traditional preloading method usually adopts a fully mechanical press-fitting method, making a step-type pressure plate fixture. By applying a certain amount of pressure, the tapered bearing preloading effect of "face-to-face" installation is achieved (that is, the bearing working clearance is adjusted to the appropriate size). However, under the traditional method, adjusting the fixture is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the preloading quality cannot be guaranteed. A dynamic preloading method is now proposed to reduce the workload of personnel. As shown in the following figure: a schematic diagram of the traditional preloading method process and a schematic diagram of the dynamic preloading method process, under the traditional method, the assembly parts need to be adjusted many times, and the tools and steps required for installation are complicated, which is inconvenient for personnel to operate. At the same time, because the pressure plate step is fixed, the baffle must be loosened during the bearing preloading process, otherwise the bearing will be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0028] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 , the utility model is further described:
[0029] A bearing pre-tightening tool for a wind power gearbox, comprising:
[0030] The hydraulic cylinder body 1 is annular in shape as a whole, with a circular through hole in the middle and a plurality of bolt holes 11 distributed around the edge. An annular recess is provided on one side between the bolt holes 11 and the inner edge of the hydraulic cylinder body 1.
[0031] The oil pipe connecting device 2 is arranged on a side of the hydraulic cylinder body 1 away from the annular recess;
[0032] The floating step 3 is annular in shape as a whole and is arranged above the annular recess of the hydraulic cylinder body 1 , and cooperates with the hydraulic cylinder body 1 to form an annular accommodating space.
[0033] In this embodiment, the floating step 3 includes a piston portion 31 and a support portion 32 . The piston portion 31 extends into the annular recess, and the support portion 32 is connected to the upper portion of the piston portion 31 .
[0034] In this embodiment, one end of the oil pipe connecting device 2 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder body 1, and the other end is connected to the hydraulic oil circuit.
[0035] In this embodiment, the floating step 3 can move up and down relative to the hydraulic cylinder body 1 , and always forms an annular accommodation space with the hydraulic cylinder body 1 during the movement.
[0036] In this embodiment, an oil hole is provided at the connection between the hydraulic cylinder body 1 and the oil pipe connecting device 2 , communicating the annular accommodating space with the oil pipe connecting device 2 .
[0037] When pre-tightening the bearing, the oil in the hydraulic oil pipeline is pressed into the accommodating space of the hydraulic cylinder 1 by applying pressure, so that the floating step 3 floats up. The supporting part of the floating step 3 then drives the bearing outer ring 4 to move, adjusting the tightness between the bearing outer ring 4 and the drive housing component 5, thereby achieving bearing pre-tightening.
[0038] In this embodiment, the oil pipe connecting device 2 and the hydraulic cylinder body 1 are connected in a fixed manner.
[0039] In this embodiment, the oil pipe connecting device 2 and the hydraulic cylinder body 1 are connected in a detachable manner.
[0040] The fixed connection can ensure that the oil pipe connecting device 2 and the hydraulic cylinder body 1 are firmly connected and will not loosen during the pre-tightening process, thereby avoiding affecting the pre-tightening effect. At the same time, a good seal is ensured between the oil pipe connecting device 2 and the hydraulic cylinder body 1 to avoid leakage of hydraulic oil.
[0041] The advantage of the detachable link is that when the oil pipe connecting device 2 is damaged, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble it for repair or replacement.
[0042] In this embodiment, the bolt hole 11 is connected with a fixing bolt 12. Before the pre-tightening operation, the disassembly tool is fixed to the disassembly platform by the fixing bolt 12, and then the pre-tightening operation is performed according to the process.
[0043] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0044] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
