[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , a fan impeller locking device includes a hydraulic pump 1, which is connected to a cylinder 2 through an oil pipe 6, and the upper end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 2 is provided with an external thread 201, and the upper end flange 202 of the cylinder 2 is connected with a connecting piece assembly 3, and a locking pin 4 is inserted in the connecting assembly 3; the connecting assembly 3 includes a lower flange 301 connected to the flange 202, and an upper flange 302 is provided above the lower flange 301. The lower flange 301 and the upper flange 302 are fixedly connected by a connecting pipe 303, and a locking through hole 304 is provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 303; the locking pin 4 includes a pin body 401, and the lower end of the pin body 401 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 402, and the lower end of the connecting column 402 is provided with a plug hole 403 which can be connected to the external thread 201 on the upper end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 2, and the side wall of the connecting column 402 is rotatably connected to a locking screw 404.

[0027] It should be noted that the hydraulic pump 1 can be a manual hydraulic pump, an electric hydraulic pump, or a hand-electric integrated hydraulic pump according to actual conditions.

[0028] The side wall of the connecting column 402 is provided with a through hole 4021 communicating with the interior of the plug hole 403 , and the locking screw 404 is rotatably inserted into the through hole 4021 . The through hole 4021 is provided with an internal thread adapted to the locking screw 404 .

[0029] The flange 202 and the lower flange 301 are respectively provided with bolt holes a2021 and bolt holes b3011 , and the flange 202 and the lower flange 301 are connected by screws 5 inserted into the bolt holes a2021 and the bolt holes b3011 .

[0030] The upper and lower edges of the pin body 401 are respectively provided with an upper chamfer 4011 and a lower chamfer 4012. The upper chamfer 4011 allows the locking pin 4 to be more smoothly inserted into the mounting hole of the wind turbine, while the lower chamfer 4012 allows the lower end of the locking pin 4 to be more smoothly inserted into the connecting tube 303 of the connecting assembly 3.

[0031] Wherein, the outer surface of the pin body 401 is provided with a spiral groove 4013. By providing the spiral groove 4013, mechanical butter can be smeared in the spiral groove 4013, thereby reducing the friction and wear of the locking pin 4 and extending the service life.

Then, insert the locking pin 4 into the upper end of the telescopic rod of the oil cylinder 2 through the insertion hole 403 opened at the lower end of the connecting column 402, and then twist the locking pin 4 so that the internal thread of the insertion hole 403 and the external thread 201 at the upper end of the telescopic rod of the oil cylinder 2 are screwed into place. At this time, the locking screw 404 connected to the side wall of the connecting column 402 is just aligned with the locking through hole 304, and then twist the fastening screw connected to the through hole 4021 404, and is tightened into place with the cooperation of the internal thread of the through hole 4021, so that the end of the fastening screw 404 will be tightly pressed against the side wall of the connecting column 402 to lock the locking pin 4, and then mechanical butter is applied to the spiral groove 4013 of the pin body 401, and the locking pin 4 is inserted into the wind turbine impeller lock hole of the wind turbine set, and the upper flange 302 is installed on the wind turbine set with a screw through the connecting hole 3021. At this time, the whole connected by the cylinder 2, the connecting assembly 3, and the locking pin 4 is installed on the wind turbine set, and finally the hydraulic pump 1 is connected to the cylinder 2 through the oil pipe 6.

[0035] When the fan impeller needs to be locked, it is only necessary to operate the hydraulic pump to supply hydraulic oil to the oil cylinder 2, so that the telescopic rod of the oil cylinder 2 can push the locking pin 4 to move and insert into the impeller lock hole to lock with the impeller.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
