Description

Technical Field

[0002] Pitch slip rings, also known as wind turbine slip rings, are a crucial component in wind turbine systems. A pitch slip ring is a rotating contact that connects the rotor of a rotating electric motor to the stator, and is commonly used in wind turbine systems. By connecting the wind turbine rotor to the stationary components via electrical wires, it allows the rotor to rotate freely without being restricted by the wires. By adjusting the blade angle, it keeps the rotor in the optimal windward position, thereby improving the power generation efficiency and operational stability of the wind turbine.

[0003] In practical use, existing pitch slip rings have poor insulation performance, which will affect their service life in the long run. Furthermore, when adjusting the blade angle, the pitch slip ring does not have a monitoring function, meaning it cannot know the rotation angle of the blade, which will affect the power generation performance of the wind turbine.
