[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a waterproof gasket is provided between the collar and the annular positioning block.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the contact surface between the waterproof plate and the waterproof convex strip (7) is provided with a rubber waterproof layer.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a threaded column is provided on the annular positioning block, and a through hole for the threaded column to pass through is provided on the collar, and a locking cap is provided on the outer end of the threaded column.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the connection between the locking cap and the collar is welded.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] In this wind turbine pitch bearing sealing structure, a sealed sealing cavity is formed between the collar, the shield, the waterproof ridge and the waterproof plate, and the opening of the wind turbine bearing is located in the sealed cavity, which plays a sealing role and effectively prevents water vapor on the outer wall from entering the interior of the bearing. In addition, the structure has the characteristics of simple structure and is convenient for assembly. The height of the connection gap between the waterproof plate and the waterproof ridge is as high as that of the outer bearing ring, so that rainwater on the surface of the outer bearing ring will not enter the interior of the bearing along the connection seam, thereby playing a good sealing role.
