Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hubs, and in particular to a fan hub reinforcement structure. Background Art
[0002] The wind turbine hub is a key component in a wind turbine. It connects the blades and the main shaft of the wind turbine, allowing the blades to rotate around the main shaft, thereby capturing wind energy and converting it into mechanical energy.
[0003] The wind turbine hub reinforcement structure refers to a series of design and engineering measures taken to improve the strength and stability of the wind turbine hub and prevent it from deformation or damage in extreme wind conditions or long-term operation.
[0004] Currently, the existing wind turbine hub reinforcement structure is unable to perform calibration and adjustment when the hub deforms during continuous rotation, that is, when out-of-round occurs. This can cause the hub to loosen due to vibration, impact or long-term operation, reducing the service life of the hub and other related components. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art that the hub cannot be calibrated and adjusted when it encounters deformation during continuous rotation, that is, when out-of-round occurs, which causes the hub to loosen, and to propose a fan hub reinforcement structure.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A fan hub reinforcement structure, comprising:
[0008] The hub has a plurality of evenly distributed mounting holes in a ring shape on its exterior, a through hole in the middle of the hub, a detachable connecting seat on one side of the through hole, the through hole and the connecting seat having the same fan shaft, and both ends of the connecting seat having ring-shaped connecting holes;
[0009] A connecting assembly is provided between the wheel hub and the connecting seat and is used to strengthen the connection between the two;
[0010] The locking assembly is arranged on the connecting seat and is used to lock and fix the connecting seat and the fan shaft.
[0011] In one possible design, the connecting assembly includes a plurality of spoke rods, one end of each of the spoke rods is provided with an elbow, the other ends of the plurality of spoke rods are respectively passed through a plurality of mounting holes, spoke caps can be detachably placed in the plurality of mounting holes of the wheel hub, the plurality of spoke caps are threadedly connected to the plurality of spoke rods, and a flat groove is provided on the top of the spoke caps.
[0012] In one possible design, the locking assembly includes a connecting head fixedly arranged on one side of the connecting seat, a conical groove is provided inside the connecting seat on one side of the connecting head, and four clamping blocks distributed in a ring are detachably placed inside the conical groove, the four clamping blocks are located outside the fan shaft, a locking nut is threadedly connected to one side of the connecting head, and a stop block is fixed on the inner side of the locking nut.
[0013] In a possible design, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are fixedly provided on the inner side of the hub in an annular shape.
[0014] In a possible design, the plurality of spoke rods are respectively inserted into a plurality of connecting holes at one end of the connecting seat, and the elbows abut against the connecting holes.
[0015] In a possible design, the locking nut and the stop block are both sleeved on the outside of the fan shaft.
[0016] In this application, when starting to use, first ensure that all necessary parts are complete, then check the integrity and damage of all parts to ensure that there are no defects such as cracks, deformation or wear, then put the locking nut, connecting seat and hub on the outside of the fan shaft in sequence, and place the hub in the predetermined position, ensure that the through hole is aligned with the axis of the fan shaft, then use fasteners (such as bolts or pins) to preliminarily fix the connecting seat to the hub through the connecting hole on the connecting seat for subsequent installation of other components, then pass one end of multiple spoke rods through the connecting hole on the connecting seat one by one and pull them so that the part with the elbow is against the outside of the connecting hole of the connecting seat, and ensure that the elbow is tightly against the connecting hole to provide initial stability, then pass the other end of the spoke rod through the multiple mounting holes of the hub one by one, and place a spoke cap in each mounting hole, ensuring that the threaded hole of the spoke cap is aligned with the threaded hole of the spoke cap. The threaded part of the spoke rod is aligned, and then a tool is used to insert the spoke cap into the flat groove and rotate it so that it is threadedly connected to the spoke rod and tightened. Then, the four clamping blocks are placed in a ring shape in the conical groove and the four clamping blocks are wrapped around the outside of the fan shaft. Then, the locking nut is turned to thread the connector. During the tightening process of the locking nut, the abutment on the inside of the locking nut will gradually push the clamping block closer to the fan shaft until the clamping block firmly clamps the fan shaft. Finally, use the tool to continue rotating the locking nut until the predetermined tightening torque is reached to ensure that the connection between the connecting seat and the fan shaft is firm and reliable. Then start the fan for a trial run and observe the working status of the reinforced structure to ensure that there are no abnormal vibrations, noises and other problems. If the out-of-round situation is found during the rotation, the tightness of the spoke cap can be adjusted in turn to change the pulling force direction of the spoke rod to calibrate the out-of-round situation.
[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] In the present invention, by setting a connecting assembly, the spoke rod is passed through the mounting hole of the wheel hub and inserted into the connecting hole of the connecting seat, the elbow is abutted against the connecting hole to ensure a stable connection, and then a tool is used to thread the spoke nipple and the spoke rod through the flat groove for tightening, which significantly enhances the structural connection strength between the wheel hub and the connecting seat and ensures stable operation under high speed and harsh working conditions. When the wheel hub encounters deformation during continuous rotation, that is, when out-of-round phenomenon occurs, the tightness of the spoke nipple is finely adjusted in turn, thereby accurately changing the tension distribution and force direction of the spoke rod, and implementing efficient and accurate out-of-round calibration operation;
[0019] The utility model provides a locking assembly. When the locking nut is rotated, the stop block pushes the clamping block toward the fan shaft to achieve clamping and fixation, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the connecting seat and the fan shaft, effectively preventing the hub from loosening due to vibration, impact or long-term operation, thereby reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by connection failure.
[0020] The utility model not only strengthens the stability of the connection by setting the connection component, but also can calibrate the out-of-roundness of the wheel hub, reduces the wear caused by vibration, impact and imbalance, and extends the service life of the wheel hub and other related components.
