Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wind power generation, in particular to a wind vane device for a wind turbine generator. Background Art
[0002] A wind vane is a crucial piece of equipment in a wind turbine's weather station. It converts wind direction signals into electrical signals and outputs them to the wind turbine's main control system, guiding the turbine's yaw to the wind, ensuring the turbine head maintains the proper angle to the wind direction, maximizing energy and generating more electricity. Currently, wind vanes are typically fixed to the weather station's bracket via their lower base, which features a zero mark. Zeroing the wind vane is typically performed by visually inspecting the zero mark on the vane to ensure it's aligned with the wind turbine's axis. This installation method results in low zeroing accuracy and poor consistency, impacting the wind turbine's power generation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] The angle iron pieces 12 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the fixing base 2 to form auxiliary support limits, thereby improving the stability of the fixing base 2 after installation.
[0024] The outer side of the positioning guide block 4 is buckled with a U-shaped fastener 13 that matches it. The fixing bolt 5 passes through the U-shaped fastener 13. The U-shaped fastener 13 is pressed on the bottom surface of the top beam of the mounting bracket 1.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is:
[0031] When in use, first place the device on the top crossbeam of the mounting bracket 1 so that the positioning guide block 4 is inserted into the transverse groove 3. At this time, the U-shaped fastener 13 is buckled on the outside of the positioning guide block 4 and installed through the fixing bolt 5. At this time, the position of the positioning guide block 4 in the transverse groove 3 can be adjusted to control the lateral position of the device. Further start the I-shaped laser 9 and rotate it to adjust the laser beam so that the I-shaped beam is aligned and projected onto the surface of the generator; then rotate the worm 10 to drive the worm gear 11 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle so that the laser beam is parallel to the heat dissipation rib parallel to the vertical plane of the same head axis, forming a positioning effect.
