Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind driven generators, especially relates to a rubber sealing ring for wind driven generator variable pitch and yaw bearing. BACKGROUND

[0002] With people's pursuit of a better environment being higher and higher, wind power as a clean energy and renewable resource is more and more loved by people. The continuous investment of the state in the wind power industry makes the industry develop efficiently and rapidly.

[0003] The yaw variable pitch bearing plays an important role in the wind turbine, ensuring that the wind wheel and the blade have a suitable angle with the wind direction, so as to fully utilize the wind energy. The yaw variable pitch bearing is composed of an inner ring, an outer ring, a retainer, a rolling element, lubricating grease and a rubber sealing ring. The rubber sealing ring mainly plays the role of sealing the lubricating grease inside the bearing and preventing foreign matters from entering the inside of the bearing. With the continuous development of wind driven generators from small megawatts to large megawatts, the pressure maintaining capacity of the rubber sealing ring of the yaw variable pitch bearing is continuously improved, and the requirement for sealing is higher and higher.

[0004] In order to meet the surface roughness requirement and achieve the corrosion prevention requirement during the processing of the yaw variable pitch bearing, the sand blasting process and the zinc spraying process are used to process the bearing surface. Before sand blasting and zinc spraying, a set of rubber sealing ring needs to be installed to ensure that the precision inside the bearing raceway is not affected. After the sand blasting and zinc spraying process is completed, the previously installed rubber sealing ring is removed, a complete set of rubber sealing ring is reinstalled, and then the lubricating grease injection process is performed.

[0005] The rubber sealing ring of the yaw variable pitch bearing requires a service life of 20 years, but it is exposed to sunlight for a long time in the high altitude environment, which greatly affects the service life of the sealing strip. The existing rubber sealing ring is exposed to sunlight for a long time, is irradiated by ultraviolet light for a long time, and has a relatively short service life. During the sand blasting process and the zinc spraying process of the bearing processing, the rubber sealing strip is repeatedly installed, the process is complicated, and the processing cost is high.

[0006] In the Chinese patent document, a patent publication with publication number CN110848269A, named "rubber sealing ring for fan yaw variable pitch bearing", discloses a rubber sealing ring for fan yaw variable pitch bearing, comprising a sealing ring body, the upper end of the sealing ring body is provided with a trapezoidal boss, the lower end is provided with a mounting handle, the left end is provided with a forward protruding fulcrum, and the right end is provided with a dustproof lip and a sealing lip, the trapezoidal boss is used for detachable connection with the protective sealing ring, one end of the sealing ring body provided with the fulcrum is overlapped on the support table of the variable pitch bearing and the fulcrum is in contact with the inner wall of the support table, the mounting handle is inserted into the mounting groove of the variable pitch bearing, the dustproof lip is attached to the inner wall of the inner or outer ring of the variable pitch bearing, and the sealing lip is matched with the sealing groove of the variable pitch bearing and is in contact with the inner and outer rings of the variable pitch bearing to form a sealed cavity. The present application solves the problems of complicated process and sealing during bearing processing, can reduce the aging of the sealing ring, greatly prolongs the service life of the sealing ring, has good pressure maintaining capacity, and can effectively prevent lubricating grease leakage.

[0007] However, the dustproof lip of the above-mentioned rubber sealing ring has a sharp lip, and when it is in contact with the inner side surface of the inner or outer ring of the variable pitch and yaw bearing, it is a line contact with a very small contact area, so that the oil cannot be lubricated and the friction is large, which not only causes early wear of the inner or outer ring of the variable pitch and yaw bearing, but also causes poor dustproof effect. How to prevent early wear of the inner and outer rings of the bearing and improve the dustproof effect is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility model content
