Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind power generation gear box radiators, in particular to a wind power generation gear box radiator. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the wind power industry, China's installed wind power capacity has seen a dramatic increase. Doubly-fed (DFIG) wind turbines dominate the market, and the condition of their gearboxes directly impacts their proper operation. Especially in spring and summer, high gearbox oil temperatures can lead to power throttling and shutdowns, a significant problem that plagues wind farms and severely impacts both power generation and profitability.
[0003] The main reasons for the high oil temperature of the gearbox are analyzed as follows:
[0004] (1) Air cooling radiator is blocked
[0005] The air-cooled radiator is the gearbox's cooling unit. Gear oil flows through the radiator, where the wind from the oil-cooling fan creates an oil-to-air heat exchange mechanism, removing heat from the gear oil. Wind turbines operate in harsh environmental conditions. During the spring-summer transition, blowing sand, poplar fluff, and rain all affect the radiator's proper functioning. This often leads to the accumulation of a mixture of dust and fluff on the radiator's surface, impairing heat exchange efficiency and causing high oil temperatures.
[0006] (2) Temperature control valve failure
[0007] The gearbox lubrication and cooling circuit relies on a thermostatic valve to distribute the lubricating oil to the cooling circuit. A bulb inside the valve core senses temperature, opening or shutting off the oil flow. Due to the poor reliability of the bulb, its lifespan is difficult to predict, ranging from two years to six months. Some wind farms experience valve core failure after just six months of use. Furthermore, the valve core and body of the thermostatic valve utilize a sliding valve structure, resulting in poor sealing and leakage in some components, making it difficult to ensure complete sealing. The flow diversion of the thermostatic valve directly affects the gear oil cooling flow rate, and cooling power is proportional to flow rate. If the thermostatic valve malfunctions, the cooling system will inevitably fail. Consequently, a thermostatic valve failure can lead to excessively high system oil temperatures, causing the wind turbine to operate at limited power or even shut down. Therefore, a wind turbine gearbox radiator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] In this embodiment, specifically, the heat dissipation mechanism 16 includes a heat dissipation block 160, two seventh tubes 161, a square ring 162, a mounting frame 163, a servo motor 164, a rotating rod 165, a plurality of fan blades 166 and a corrugated radiator 167, wherein the heat dissipation block 160 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the box body 10, and the upper surface of the heat dissipation block 160 is provided with a wave channel 6, one end of the two seventh tubes 161 both penetrate the fourth tube 150, and the two seventh tubes 161 The second tube body 161 is fixedly connected to the fourth tube body 150, and the other ends of the second tube bodies 161 pass through the heat dissipation block 160, and the second tube bodies 161 are fixedly connected to the heat dissipation block 160.

Through the above setting, the servo motor 164 starts to work, the output shaft of the servo motor 164 drives the rotating rod 165 to rotate, and the rotating rod 165 drives the plurality of fan blades 166 to rotate, and then the external gas is drawn into the box body 10 through the filter 5 to dissipate heat to the corrugated radiator 167, and the gear oil in the fourth tube body 150 is transmitted to the wave channel 6 on the heat dissipation block 160 through one of the seventh tube bodies 161. The gear oil in the wave channel 6 is dissipated through the corrugated radiator 167 and then transmitted to the fourth tube body 150 through the other seventh tube body 161.
[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the mesh size of the first filter element 152 is 10 μm, and the mesh size of the second filter element 153 is 50 μm.
[0036] In this embodiment, specifically, two filters 5 are symmetrically passed through the outer wall of the box body 10, and the box body 10 is fixedly connected to the filter screens 5. The above arrangement of the filter screens 5 facilitates the entry of external gas into the interior of the box body 10 and reduces the entry of dust.
[0037] In this embodiment, specifically, the front surface of the door body 11 is respectively provided with a sub-buckle 2 and a handle 4, and the front surface of the box body 10 is provided with a female buckle 3. The sub-buckle 2 and the female buckle 3 are adapted to each other. Through the above settings, the relevant personnel releases the sub-buckle 2 from the female buckle 3, and the relevant personnel holds the handle 4 to drive the door body 11 to open.
[0038] During operation of the present invention, when the gear box needs lubrication, the oil pump motor starts, driving the gear pump 12 to work, pumping the gear oil in the oil pool into the first pipe body 13. The pressure of the first one-way valve 17 is 12 bar. When the gear oil pressure in the first pipe body 13 exceeds 12 bar, the first one-way valve 17 opens, and the gear oil directly returns to the oil pool through the second pipe body 14 to protect other components of the system.
[0039] When the gear oil temperature is low or the pressure difference of the first tube body 13 is greater than 4 bar, the second one-way valve 156 opens, and the gear oil in the first tube body 13 is transferred to the fifth tube body 151 through the U-shaped tube body 155 and is only coarsely filtered by the 50μm second filter element 153.

The first filter element 152 and the second filter element 153 must be replaced within two days.
[0042] When the gear oil temperature reaches 55°C and the gear oil pressure is less than 6 bar, the servo motor 164 starts to work, and the output shaft of the servo motor 164 drives the rotating rod 165 to rotate, and the rotating rod 165 drives several fan blades 166 to rotate, and then the external gas is drawn into the box body 10 through the filter screen 5 to dissipate heat to the corrugated radiator 167. The gear oil in the fourth tube body 150 is transmitted to the wave channel 6 on the heat dissipation block 160 through one of the seventh tube bodies 161. The gear oil in the wave channel 6 is cooled by the corrugated radiator 167 and then transmitted to the fourth tube body 150 through the other seventh tube body 161.
[0043] When the gear oil temperature drops to 50° C., the gear oil pressure is greater than 6 bar, the servo motor 164 automatically stops working, and the gear oil directly returns to the gear box through the pressure control valve 158 and the fourth pipe body 150 for forced lubrication.
[0044] When the pressure difference of the cooler reaches 6 bar, the pressure control valve 158 opens and the gear oil flows directly into the gear box without passing through the radiator.
[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
