Online monitoring of spindle movement effectively captures the actual multi-dimensional displacement of the mainshaft during operation. Combined with a wind turbine vibration monitoring system, this system can establish an effective data analysis model and quantify the impact of spindle movement on bearing motion. This allows for effective detection of loose and broken spindle fasteners, preventing major accidents.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN217300774U provides a wind turbine main shaft displacement monitoring device, including a base; a light source assembly, which provides a continuous light source; a collimating optical assembly, which transmits the light source; a plurality of Dove prisms; a plurality of Dove prisms attached to the main shaft and arranged circumferentially, the Dove prisms having two reflecting surfaces; an imaging optical assembly; and a PSD position sensor, which corresponds to the imaging optical assembly.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221503442U provides a wind turbine main shaft displacement detection device, including a bearing seat, a main shaft front bearing is fixedly installed at one end of the top of the bearing seat, and a main shaft rear bearing is fixedly installed at the other end of the top of the bearing seat, and the wind turbine main shaft is installed between the main shaft front bearing and the main shaft rear bearing.

[0005] By analyzing the above patents and combining them with actual conditions, it is found that most of the existing devices for monitoring the displacement of the main shaft of a wind turbine have problems such as complicated installation process and high time cost during installation, which is not conducive to the later maintenance of the wind turbine. Therefore, a device for intermittent monitoring of the displacement of the main shaft of a wind turbine is proposed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a wind turbine main shaft displacement discontinuous monitoring device for monitoring the axial displacement of the main shaft on the generator body, comprising:

[0008] A hoop assembly is sleeved on the main shaft, and a plurality of groups of reflective plates are arranged annularly at intervals on the hoop assembly;

[0009] A mounting frame is provided on the generator body and connected thereto via fixing bolts; and

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing bolts are installed through holes provided on the generator body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the utility model provides an intermittent monitoring device for the displacement of the main shaft of a wind turbine generator set, which is used to monitor the axial displacement of the main shaft 11 on the generator body 1, including a clamp assembly, which is sleeved on the main shaft 11, and a plurality of groups of reflective plates 23 are arranged circumferentially at intervals on the clamp assembly. The clamp assembly includes two groups of relatively arranged mounting arc plates 2, and the two groups of mounting arc plates 2 cooperate to form a cavity for accommodating the main shaft 11. The reflective plates 23 are fixedly arranged on the mounting arc plates 2. Connecting plates 21 are provided at both ends of the mounting arc plates 2. Every two groups of connecting plates 21 are in contact with each other, and every two groups of connecting plates 21 are connected by a group of connecting bolts 22.

[0033] The reflective plates 23 can be fixedly connected to the mounting arc plates 2 during the production process. Depending on the material of the reflective plates 23, the reflective plates 23 can be pre-installed by bonding, bolting, or welding. The mounting arc plates 2 are then clamped onto the spindle 11 and the two sets of connecting plates 21 are connected via a set of connecting bolts 22. This allows for the rapid fixing of multiple sets of reflective plates 23, eliminating the need to secure each set of reflective plates 23 individually. This improves the efficiency of installing multiple sets of reflective plates 23. Furthermore, it is understood that in some embodiments, anti-slip sheets can be added to the inside of the mounting arc plates 2 to prevent displacement between the spindle 11 and the mounting arc plates 2 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of subsequent data monitoring.

[0034] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting bracket 3 is provided on the generator body 1, and the mounting bracket 3 is connected to the generator body 1 through a fixing bolt 31. A displacement sensor 34 is provided at the end of the mounting bracket 3, and the monitoring end of the displacement sensor 34 is aligned with the movement area of ​​the reflector 23.

[0035] Mounting bracket 3 is Z-shaped, with one end extending to the side of reflector 23 away from generator body 1. A non-slip washer 32 is installed on the contact surface between fixing bolt 31 and mounting bracket 3. Mounting bracket 3 has a mounting hole 33 formed on the side of reflector 23 away from generator body 1. A displacement sensor 34 is inserted into mounting hole 33 and fixedly connected to it.

[0036] Mounting bracket 3 can be installed using fixing bolts 31, ensuring that one end of mounting bracket 3 extends to the side of reflector 23 away from generator body 1. Reflector 23 is positioned on the side of mounting arc plate 2 away from generator body 1 to prevent positional interference between connecting plate 21 and displacement sensor 34 when main shaft 11 rotates. Anti-slip washers 32 are also provided to improve the stability of mounting bracket 3 after installation, preventing it from slipping. During operation of the generator set, the rotation of main shaft 11 drives multiple sets of reflectors 23 to sequentially pass by displacement sensor 34, allowing the displacement sensor 34 to intermittently monitor the displacement of main shaft 11.

[0037] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing bolts 31 are installed through the holes provided on the generator body 1, which has the characteristics of small modification, easy installation and low cost.

[0038] Specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0039] During installation, the device can be fixed to the main shaft 11 by fixing the clamp assembly to the main shaft 11 to quickly complete the installation of multiple sets of reflective plates 23. After fixing the displacement sensor 34 to the mounting frame 3, the mounting frame 3 is then fixed to the generator body 1 via the fixing bolts 31 to complete the installation of the displacement sensor 34. During the monitoring process, the main shaft 11 of the wind turbine rotates to drive the reflective plates 23 to move. The displacement of the main shaft 11 can be monitored in real time through the displacement sensor 34. Data screening and threshold determination are performed for intermittent monitoring data, which can effectively monitor faults such as loosening and breakage of the main shaft 11 fasteners. When maintenance is required on the wind turbine body 1, only the clamp assembly and the fixing bolts 31 on the mounting frame 3 need to be removed. The installation and removal processes are very simple, greatly saving time and cost.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements can be made based on the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
