Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind generator tower vibration reduction, in particular to a wind generator single-layer network structure flexible vibration reduction and damping cable. Background Art
[0002] With the growing global demand for renewable energy, the development of wind power generation technology is gaining increasing attention. However, wind turbines are often affected by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction during operation, which can lead to vibration and instability, affecting their power generation efficiency and lifespan. Therefore, research and improvement of vibration control devices for wind turbines has become a hot topic.
[0003] Currently, wind turbine vibration control devices primarily rely on two approaches: traditional rigid structure control and active control. Traditional methods rely primarily on rigid structures or simple vibration damping devices, such as damping springs and shock absorbers, to reduce vibration through structural changes or the use of vibration-absorbing materials. Active control, on the other hand, involves installing sensors to monitor wind turbine vibration and using a control unit to adjust vibration control devices, such as dampers or adjustment rods, in real time to suppress and control vibration. However, these vibration control devices still have several limitations. First, traditional rigid structure control methods struggle to adapt to varying operating conditions and vibration frequencies, limiting their effectiveness. Second, these methods often require large amounts of material and complex manufacturing processes, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, some active control devices can consume significant amounts of energy and require additional maintenance and overhaul, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Therefore, current wind turbine vibration control devices still face limitations in terms of efficiency, cost, and reliability, and further technological breakthroughs and innovations are urgently needed to improve their performance and applicability.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0015] 1. The present invention can flexibly adapt to different vibration and stress conditions in multiple directions. Through the design of flexible cables, including horizontal support rods, vertical main cables and horizontal auxiliary cables, the device forms a network structure, allowing the flexible cables to move and deform freely in the horizontal and vertical directions. This design enables the device to effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy from all directions, whether it is from wind force or vibration generated by the operation of the wind turbine itself, it can be effectively controlled. The multi-directional adaptability not only improves the vibration control effect and stability of the device, but also enables it to adapt to different working conditions and environments, ensuring the safe operation of the wind turbine.

[0020] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Figure 1-3 As shown, a single-layer network structure flexible vibration-damping cable for a wind turbine comprises a plurality of support rods 2 evenly arranged along the circumference of a wind turbine tower 1, wherein the outer ends of the support rods 2 are connected to the damper 5 on the tower foundation 8 via a main cable 3, and the plurality of main cables 3 are connected horizontally via auxiliary cables 4.
[0022] Preferably, the top of the damper 5 is hinged to the bottom of the main cable 3 through a top plate 6 , and the bottom of the damper 5 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the tower foundation 8 through a bottom plate 7 .
[0023] Preferably, the main rope 3 is in a vertical state, and the auxiliary rope 4 is in a horizontal state.
[0024] Preferably, the main cable 3 and the auxiliary cable 4 are connected vertically to each other. This vertical connection method can make the force distribution more uniform and improve the vibration reduction effect.
[0025] Preferably, the auxiliary cable 4 is connected to the main cable 3 in a winding manner. During the actual installation process, when the auxiliary cable 4 is connected to the main cable 3, the auxiliary cable 4 can be first wrapped around the surface of one of the main cables 3 for one or several turns, and then wrapped around the surface of another main cable 3 for one or several turns, and so on, to complete the winding and connection process of all the main cables 3.
[0026] Preferably, multiple auxiliary cables 4 are distributed from top to bottom on the surface of the main cable 3 at equal intervals. This distribution forms a three-dimensional network structure from top to bottom, which can adapt to vibrations in multiple directions. Through its flexibility and elasticity, it absorbs and slows down vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the wind turbine.
[0027] Preferably, the plurality of support poles 2 are evenly distributed in a circular array in the circumferential direction of the wind turbine tower 1 .
[0028] Preferably, the plurality of support rods 2 are in a horizontal state and located on the same horizontal plane.
[0029] Preferably, the number of the support rods 2 is six, the number of the main cables 3 corresponding to the outer ends of the support rods 2 is six, and the vertical projection of the tower foundation 8 is a regular hexagon.
[0030] The working principle of embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0031] When a wind turbine is subjected to external wind forces or other vibration sources, the vibrations are transmitted through the wind turbine tower 1 to the main cables 3 and auxiliary cables 4. These cables, acting as the primary vibration absorbers, effectively absorb and mitigate vibration energy through their flexibility and elasticity, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the wind turbine. The dampers, acting as auxiliary devices, further control vibrations. The network structure formed by the main cables 3 and auxiliary cables 4 allows for flexible horizontal and vertical movement and deformation, adapting to vibrations in multiple directions and improving the device's applicability and stability.
[0032] Example 2: A vibration reduction method for a wind turbine generator with a single-layer network structure and flexible vibration reduction and damping cables, comprising the following steps:
[0033] S1. When the wind turbine is affected by external wind or other vibration sources, the vibration will be transmitted to the main cable 3 and the auxiliary cable 4 through the wind turbine tower 1;
[0034] The network structure (i.e., a ring-shaped network structure) formed by connecting S2, the main cable 3, and the auxiliary cable 4 can flexibly move and deform in the horizontal and vertical directions, adapting to vibrations in multiple directions. Through its flexibility and elasticity, it absorbs and slows down vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the wind turbine.
[0035] S3 and damper 5 serve as auxiliary devices to further control the vibration amplitude.
