DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is specifically described below in combination with examples. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific embodiments of the utility model, and does not strictly limit the protection scope of the utility model.
[0022] As Figures 1-2As shown, a wind turbine variable pitch cylinder sealing element replacement tool includes a rod body connector for assembling on the piston rod 2, the lower side of the rod body connector is rotatably connected with two moving wheels 10, at this time, when replacing the variable pitch cylinder sealing element, the rod body connector and the piston rod 2 are connected, and the two moving wheels 10 are in contact with the wheel hub ground, until two replacement tools are installed on the outer side of the piston rod 2, the piston rod 2 is moved when the wind turbine variable pitch cylinder sealing element is replaced, when the piston rod 2 moves, the movable moving wheel 10 and the lower connecting seat 3 bear the gravity of the piston rod 2, which can reduce the gravity of the piston rod 2 borne by the maintenance personnel when replacing the wind turbine variable pitch cylinder sealing element, reduce the difficulty of replacing the wind turbine variable pitch cylinder sealing element, and mechanically support the piston rod 2, reduce the risk of mechanical injury caused by the piston rod 2 falling due to human operation error during movement, and improve safety.
[0023] As shown in the figure, Figures 3-4 The lower side of the rod body connector is fixedly connected with two first electric push rods 8, the model of the first electric push rod 8 is preferably LA36, the output end of the two first electric push rods 8 located on the lower side is fixedly connected with a wheel shell 9, the wheel shell 9 can be a shell with an opening on the lower side, the shaft center of the moving wheel 10 is fixedly connected with a rotating rod, the rotating rod is rotatably connected on the wheel shell 9, the lower part of the moving wheel 10 extends to the lower side of the shell through the opening on the lower side of the shell, at this time, the interval between the moving wheel 10 and the lower connecting seat 3 can be adjusted by starting the first electric push rod 8, so as to adapt to the height difference between the piston rod 2 and the wheel hub ground.
[0024] At the same time, the wheel shell 9 is fixedly connected with a rotary driving member 11, which can be a servo motor, the model of which can be MPP0922C1E-NPSB, or a combination of an electric push rod, a rack and a gear, the output end of the rotary driving member 11 is fixedly connected with the rotating rod, so as to drive the moving wheel 10 to rotate, when the maintenance personnel moves the piston rod 2 to apply auxiliary thrust to the piston rod 2, further reducing the force required by the maintenance personnel during maintenance, reducing the difficulty of work, and reducing the working intensity.
[0025] A reinforcing structure can be provided between the first electric push rod 8 and the rod body connector to improve the connection stability between the first electric push rod 8 and the rod body connector.
[0026] As shown in the figure, Figures 2-3 The lower side of the rod body connector is fixedly connected with a second electric push rod 12 between the two first electric push rods 8, the model of the second electric push rod 12 is also preferably LA36, the output end of the second electric push rod 12 on the lower side is fixedly connected with an anti-skid positioning plate 13, the anti-skid positioning plate 13 includes a metal support plate fixedly connected on the output end of the second electric push rod 12, and the lower side of the metal support plate is provided with anti-skid pieces made of anti-skid rubber or cork;
[0027] At this time, the anti-slip positioning plate 13 is moved down by the second electric push rod 12, so that the anti-slip positioning plate 13 and the wheel hub ground are in contact, which increases the friction and reduces the phenomenon of accidental slippage of the piston rod 2 after removal, thereby reducing the risk of mechanical injury caused by accidental slippage of the piston rod 2.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the rod connector includes a lower connecting seat 3, which is an arc-shaped plate. The first electric push rod 8 and the second electric push rod 12 are both fixedly connected to the lower side of the lower connecting seat 3. A locking rope 5 is installed on the lower connecting seat 3. At this time, the rod connector can be quickly installed on the outside of the piston rod 2 by the cooperation of the locking rope 5 and the lower connecting seat 3.
[0029] Furthermore, the locking rope 5 can be installed by fixing a winder 4 to one end of the lower connecting seat 3, with one end of the locking rope 5 mounted on the winder 4. The winder 4 can wind or unwind the locking rope 5 and lock it. A round rod-shaped locking rod 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rope 5 away from the winder 4, and a hook 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the lower connecting seat 3 away from the winder 4. When the locking rod 7 is hooked onto the hook 6 and locked, the winder 4 can be activated to wind the locking rope 5 to quickly lock it, making it convenient to use.
[0030] Here, the winding device 4 includes a hollow housing, on which a circular roller is rotatably connected. One end of the locking rope 5 is wound around the outside of the circular roller, and the housing has an opening through which the locking rope 5 extends out. A stepper motor with a self-locking function, namely a NEMA 23 self-locking stepper motor, is fixedly connected to the housing, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the circular roller.
[0031] Similarly, the rod connector can also be a clamp, fixture, or other device that can be fixed to the outside of the piston rod 2.
[0032] Here, the power supply for the winder 4, the first electric push rod 8, the rotary drive 11, and the second electric push rod 12 can be a battery module installed on the lower connecting seat 3, or it can be a power supply from the fan.
[0033] Meanwhile, the first electric actuator 8 and the second electric actuator 12 can be fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting seat 3 by means of threaded connection or snap-fit, so that the tool can be separated into multiple components and transported to the inside of the wheel hub, reducing the difficulty of movement.
[0034] The working principle of the utility model is: moving the tool to the inside of the hub, disassembling the end cover of the fan variable pitch cylinder, then placing the lower connecting seat 3 of the two tools in turn under the piston rod 2, locking the position of the lower connecting seat 3 through the locking rope 5, then starting the first electric push rod 8 to drive the moving wheel 10 to move until the moving wheel 10 and the ground of the hub abut;
[0035] Then starting the rotating driving part 11 to drive the moving wheel 10 to rotate, assisting the maintenance personnel to pull out the piston rod 2 from the inside of the slurry lever shell 1, and the sealing element can be replaced.
[0036] In summary, the movable moving wheel 10 and the lower connecting seat 3 bear the gravity of the piston rod 2, which can reduce the gravity of the piston rod 2 borne by the maintenance personnel when replacing the sealing element of the fan variable pitch cylinder, reduce the difficulty of replacing the sealing element of the fan variable pitch cylinder, and support the piston rod 2 mechanically, reduce the risk of mechanical injury caused by the piston rod 2 falling due to human operation error in the moving process of the piston rod 2, and improve the safety.
[0037] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled personnel in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should be regarded as the protection range of the utility model. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the utility model are implemented according to the conventional means in the art, unless otherwise specified and limited.
