A wind turbine cooling device is a device used to control and maintain the operating temperature of a wind turbine. A wind turbine will generate heat during operation and cooling equipment will be used to cool it down.

[0003] After searching, the patent with announcement number CN220646112U discloses a wind turbine cooling device. The technical solution has the following problems: although the wind turbine inside the shell can be cooled through the heat dissipation holes on the shell in actual use, the heat dissipation holes cannot be blocked in rainy weather, and rainwater can easily enter the shell through the heat dissipation holes, which can easily affect the wind turbine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that although the wind turbine in the shell can be cooled through the heat dissipation holes on the shell in actual use, the heat dissipation holes cannot be blocked in rainy weather, and rainwater can easily enter the shell through the heat dissipation holes, which can easily affect the wind turbine. A wind turbine cooling device is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A shielding mechanism is provided on the housing for shielding the heat dissipation holes on rainy days;

[0008] The adjusting mechanism is arranged in the shell and is used to adjust the shielding mechanism to open and close.

[0009] In one possible design, the shielding mechanism includes a frame and a shielding plate for shielding the heat dissipation holes. One side of the frame is fixedly connected to one side of the shell. Both sides of the top of the shielding plate are fixedly provided with rotating shafts, and the ends of the two rotating shafts that are away from each other are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the frame.

[0010] In a possible design, the adjustment mechanism includes a first articulated seat, an electric push rod, a second articulated seat, two arc-shaped plates and a fixed plate. The top of the first articulated seat is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the shell, the fixed part of the electric push rod is hinged to the first articulated seat, one side of the two arc-shaped plates is fixedly connected to one side of the shielding plate, one side of the shell is provided with two moving holes for facilitating the movement of the two arc-shaped plates, the outer side of the arc-shaped plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving hole, the two sides of the fixed plate are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the two arc-shaped plates close to each other, the bottom of the second articulated seat is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate, and the telescopic part of the electric push rod is hinged to the second articulated seat.

On rainy days, the heat dissipation holes can be blocked by the provided shielding plates and curved plates, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the shell through the heat dissipation holes. When the opening and closing size of the shielding plates needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod is started, and the telescopic part of the electric push rod is extended, pushing the second hinged seat and the curved plate connected thereto to slide along the movable hole, thereby driving the shielding plates to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the opening and closing size of the shielding plates can be adjusted. By adjusting the opening and closing size of the shielding plates, the amount of air intake in the shell can also be adjusted. The material of the heat conductive sheet can be selected as a copper heat conductive sheet, which can be selected according to needs.
