[0002] The existing fan yawing system can perceive the wind direction signal of the wind field, and through the accurate control of the turning of the fan body and the wind wheel, ensures that the fan blade always faces the direction of the wind.

[0003] In the mechanical structure of the yawing system, the cabin is connected with the yawing gear ring installed on the tower drum through the yawing driver. In order to reduce the mechanical wear, the yawing automatic lubricating system will give the yawing reducer gear and the yawing gear ring through the lubricating pulley every predetermined time. However, this lubricating mode has certain problems.

[0004] Specifically, a set of photoelectric induction sensor is installed on the upper side of the yawing gear ring, which is used to judge the yawing direction of the cabin and the cabin rotation speed monitoring. When the lubricating grease on the yawing gear ring is too much, the excessive grease will adhere to the surface of the photoelectric induction sensor. Since the distance between the photoelectric induction sensor and the gear ring is only 3mm, the grease will contaminate the sensor, resulting in the decrease of the sensitivity of the sensor or even complete failure, which further causes the false failure of the fan.

[0005] Based on this, in order to clean the flange surface of the gear ring and avoid the contamination of the sensor by the grease, we propose a wind turbine yawing gear ring flange surface grease cleaning device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0027] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes scraper 21 and connecting assembly 22, the scraper 21 is connected on the support 1 by connecting assembly 22;

[0028] Wherein the upper end of the scraper 21 also has an arc-shaped guide piece 23, the arc-shaped guide piece 23 is designed to guide the excess grease scraped to discharge, to avoid grease into the inside of support 1.

[0029] As Figure 2 Indicated, the distance between the detection end of the sensor and big gear ring 3 in the utility model is H1, H1 in the embodiment is set to 3mm, the spacing between the bottom end of the scraper 21 and the big gear ring 3 is H2, H2 in the embodiment is set to 0.5mm, by adopting 0.5mm spacing design, it can be guaranteed to clear the excess grease on the flange surface of big gear ring 3, to avoid sensor from being contaminated, leading to the sensitivity of sensor to decline or even malfunction and other problems.

[0030] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 22 in the utility model includes sleeve 221 fixed on the support 1, inserting rod 222 is movably inserted in the sleeve 221;

[0031] Wherein the end face of the scraper 21 has a hole matched with the inserting rod 222, and the bottom surface of the scraper 21 abuts against the top of the sleeve 221.

[0032] Of course, in order to realize the connecting and fixing of the inserting rod 222 and the sleeve 221, the inner side of the inserting rod 222 is provided with a blind hole, and a driving rod 224 is movably inserted into the blind hole through a spring 223;

[0033] The bottom of the driving rod 224 is provided with a conical surface 225, and the two sides of the inserting rod 222 are movably inserted with limiting beads 226. Of course, the outer side of the inserting rod 222 is provided with a through hole, and the diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the limiting beads 226, so as to avoid the falling of the limiting beads 226. The end surface of the limiting beads 226 is in contact with the conical surface 225.

[0034] On the basis of the above embodiment, the end surface of the sleeve 221 is further provided with a positioning hole 227, and the limiting beads 226 are clamped with the positioning hole 227.

[0035] That is to say, in the embodiment, by movably inserting a driving rod 224 into the inserting rod 222, when the inserting rod 222 is inserted and connected with the sleeve 221, the inserting rod 222 moves upward under the pushing of the spring 223. At this time, the conical surface 225 abuts against the limiting beads 226 to move outward in the radial direction. The limiting beads 226 move outward through the inserting rod 222 until they are clamped in the positioning hole 227 on the side of the sleeve 221, so as to complete the connection and locking of the sleeve 221 and the inserting rod 222. After that, the scraper 21 can be inserted on the inserting rod 222 and further locked.

[0036] Further, the outer side of the inserting rod 222 is sleeved with an elastic ring 24 and a nut 25 is threadedly connected, and the nut 25 abuts against the upper side of the elastic ring 24.

When the scraper 21 is fixed, the elastic ring 24 can be extruded through the threadedly connected nut 25 to complete the fixation of the scraper 21, which is simple and convenient. At the same time, the elastic ring 24 can provide a certain counter thrust when the inserting rod 222 is disassembled, so as to achieve the effect of convenient disassembly of the inserting rod 222.

[0039] It should be noted that in order to conveniently discharge the scraped grease, the arc-shaped guide piece 23 in the embodiment extends upward along the bottom of the scraper 21, and the scraper 21 is provided with a notch 27 at the tail end of the arc-shaped guide piece 23, and the notch 27 is designed for conveniently discharging the grease. Of course, in further embodiments, a collecting groove can also be installed at the bottom of the large gear ring 3 inside the cabin, which is used to collect the scraped excess grease, so as to be recycled.

[0040] In summary, in the utility model, by increasing two cleaning mechanisms 2 on both sides of the support 1, the excess grease on the flange surface of the large gear ring 3 of the wind turbine generator set can be automatically cleaned when the wind turbine automatically deviates, and the reliability and stability of the wind turbine operation are significantly enhanced.
