Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine pitch slip ring testing technology, specifically a wind turbine pitch slip ring friction pair performance testing platform. Background Technology
[0002] Pitch slip rings are key components in wind turbines, connecting the rotating blades and the main shaft. They ensure stable and efficient transmission of power and signals between the rotating and stationary parts, guaranteeing efficient generator operation. However, excessive contact resistance and frictional torque often occur during operation, causing signal instability and seriously endangering the safe operation of the generator. Therefore, a device is needed to test its friction and electrical contact performance. For example, CN218885396U describes a pitch slip ring testing device, which includes a guide rail, balls, guide groove, ring groove, fixed ring, and slider. The slider mounted on the fixed ring slides into the ring groove through the guide groove. The pitch slip ring body connected to the fixed ring can be installed inside a support base, which slides on the balls on the guide rail. However, this technical solution cannot meet the testing needs of various wind turbine pitch slip rings. Once the fixture is determined, it can only serve the testing of a certain brand of wind turbine pitch slip ring, and it cannot test contact resistance. It has limited functionality and low practicality, and it cannot test the operating data of wind turbine pitch slip rings under different temperature and humidity conditions. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a wind turbine pitch slip ring friction pair performance testing platform, comprising: a base 1, a first support frame 2 on the left side of the base 1, a motor bracket 3 fixed on the upper outer side of the first support frame 2, a bearing seat 4 on the top, a motor 5 fixed on the motor bracket 3, a first rotating shaft 6 connected to the output end of the motor 5, a torque sensor 7 connected to the first rotating shaft 6, a coupling 8 connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft 6, a second rotating shaft 9 connected to the right side of the coupling 8, the second rotating shaft 9 passing through the bearing seat 4 and having a slewing bearing 10 at the other end, an inner slip ring clamp 11 on the slewing bearing 10, a second support frame 12 coaxially positioned on the right side of the base 1 and the first support frame 2, the bottom of the second support frame 12 being movably connected to the base 1 via a slide rail 13, an outer slip ring clamp 14 coaxially positioned on the second support frame 12 and the inner slip ring clamp 11, a data acquisition unit 15 and a controller 16 on the base 1, and the torque sensor 7 being electrically connected to the data acquisition unit 15 and the controller 16.
[0022] The first support frame 2 and the second support frame 12 are on the same axis, and the inner slip ring clamp 11 and the outer slip ring clamp 14 are on the same axis. The second support frame 12 moves on the base 1 via the slide rail 13 to adjust the distance between the inner slip ring clamp 11 and the outer slip ring clamp 14. Preferably, the bottom of the slide rail 13 is provided with a moving cylinder to provide power for the movement of the second support frame 12, and a slewing bearing 10 is provided to further increase the stability of the equipment. The torque sensor 7 is used to measure the friction torque of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 during rotation, evaluate its friction performance, and is connected to the data acquisition unit 15 to collect the friction pair performance data.
[0023] The inner slip ring clamp 11 includes: an inner slip ring mounting seat 1101 on the slewing bearing 10, and three inner slip ring clamping claws 1102 and an inner slip ring clamping cylinder 1103 on the inner slip ring mounting seat 1101.
[0024] The angle between the three inner slip ring clamps 1102 is 120 degrees, and the opening and closing angle of the inner slip ring clamps 1102 is adjusted by the inner slip ring clamping cylinder 1103 so that the inner slip ring clamp 11 can be adapted to clamp and fix different types of wind turbine pitch slip rings 17.
[0025] The outer slip ring clamp 14 includes an outer slip ring jaw 1401 and an outer slip ring clamping cylinder 1402.
[0026] A wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 to be tested is provided between the inner slip ring clamp 11 and the outer slip ring clamp 14. The wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 is clamped and fixed based on the inner slip ring claw 1102 and the outer slip ring claw 1401.
[0027] Among them, the inner slip ring clamp 1102 clamps one side of the inner slip ring of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 based on the inner slip ring clamping cylinder 1103, and the outer slip ring clamp 1401 clamps one side of the outer slip ring of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 based on the outer slip ring clamping cylinder 1402, thus clamping and fixing them.
[0028] The data acquisition unit 15 is connected to a resistance measuring instrument 18, which is electrically connected to the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17.
[0029] The resistance measuring instrument 18 is used to measure the contact resistance of the slip ring and test its electrical performance.

[0034] The base 1 is equipped with an isolation cover.
[0035] The isolation enclosure isolates the equipment from the outside air, preventing outside air from affecting the temperature and humidity values inside the enclosure, thus making the test results more accurate.
[0036] When using this utility model, firstly, the second support frame 12 is adjusted to a suitable position via the slide rail 13. The outer slip ring clamp 14 clamps one side of the outer slip ring of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17, and the inner slip ring clamp 11 clamps one side of the inner slip ring of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17, thus fixing the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 on the test platform. Then, the motor 5 starts to supply power, and the first rotating shaft 6 drives the slewing bearing 10 to start rotating via the second rotating shaft 9. The inner slip ring of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 starts to simulate working operation based on the inner slip ring clamp 11. The torque sensor 7 receives the friction torque of the wind turbine pitch slip ring 17 during rotation via the coupling 8 and transmits the data to the data acquisition unit 15. Preferably, the controller 16 controls the temperature controller 19 and the humidity controller 20 to simulate the temperature and humidity in the actual working environment, and the temperature sensor 21 and the humidity sensor 22 detect in real time whether the temperature and humidity have reached the set values.
