The generator end cover made of aluminum alloy can effectively prevent magnetic leakage, and aluminum alloy has good heat dissipation performance.

[0003] The ends of wind turbines are currently sealed with end caps, which have pre-drilled holes for mounting the shaft. Given that the thickness of the turbine body is relatively limited during operation, the end caps need to play a crucial role in preventing deformation. However, the metal sheet end caps currently in widespread use have certain limitations in their ability to prevent deformation. Utility Model Content

[0030] Two heat dissipation holes 9 are respectively opened in the inner wall of the connecting plate 2 and the end cover body 1. Each set of heat dissipation holes 9 is interconnected and arranged in a Z-shape. Two sets of filter frames 12 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end cover body 1 located on one side of the two sets of heat dissipation holes 9 by locking bolts 13. Each set of filter frames 12 has a filter screen 14 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner wall of the filter frame 12.

[0031] In the technical solution of this utility model, the end cover body 1 is installed at the end of the generator, and four trapezoidal blocks 3 slide into the middle cylinder. With the cooperation of the trapezoidal blocks 3, the middle cylinder is supported internally to prevent deformation. The end cover body 1 is subjected to an outward resistance force. Then, four outer abutment rods 6 are set between the inner ring 5 and the outer ring 4. The outer abutment rods 6 are trapezoidal to provide inward support to the middle part of the end cover body 1, thereby further enabling the end cover body 1 to play a role in preventing deformation.

[0032] In addition, the heat dissipation holes 9 facilitate heat dissipation inside the generator. When the end cover body 1 is installed, the Z-shaped heat dissipation holes 9 have a high inner side and a low outer side, which can prevent liquid from entering the generator. The filter frame 12 can be installed on the outer wall of the end cover body 1 by the locking bolts 13. The filter frame 12 can fix the filter screen 14, and the filter screen 14 can filter the heat dissipation holes 9.

[0033] In the technical solution of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, four trapezoidal blocks 3 are respectively welded to two sides of a fixing block 7. Each fixing block 7 is fixedly installed to the connecting plate 2 by fixing bolts 8. The trapezoidal blocks 3 can fix the fixing blocks 7, and the fixing bolts 8 can fix the fixing blocks 7 and the trapezoidal blocks 3 to the inside of the connecting plate 2.

[0034] In the technical solution of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, bearing holes 10 are provided in the inner wall of the connecting plate 2 and the end cover body 1. The bearing holes 10 facilitate the installation of the output shaft. Four mounting holes 11 are provided in the inner wall of the end cover body 1. The mounting holes 11 facilitate the installation of the end cover body 1 and the middle cylinder.

[0035] In the technical solution of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting disc 2, end cap body 1, trapezoidal block 3 and outer abutment rod 6 are made of ductile iron. Because the connecting disc 2, end cap body 1, trapezoidal block 3 and outer abutment rod 6 are made of ductile iron, they have high impact toughness, elongation and low brittle transition temperature.

[0036] In use, the end cap body 1 can first be positioned with the middle cylinder body through the mounting hole 11 to ensure that the mounting hole 11 matches the installation position of the middle cylinder body. The connecting plate 2 is welded to one side of the end cap body 1 to ensure that the connecting plate 2 is stable.

Four outer abutment rods 6 are welded between outer ring 4 and inner ring 5. The outer abutment rods 6 are arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and the vertical section near outer ring 4 is smaller than the vertical section near inner ring 5 to provide inward support force.

[0038] Bearing holes 10 are made in the inner walls of the connecting plate 2 and the end cover body 1 to install the output shaft;

[0039] Two Z-shaped heat dissipation holes 9 are opened in the inner wall of the connecting plate 2 and the end cover body 1. Each set of heat dissipation holes 9 is interconnected to assist the internal heat dissipation of the generator. Heat conduction plates can be installed in the middle cylinder of the generator for heat dissipation.

[0040] Two sets of filter frames 12 are installed on the outer wall of the end cap body 1 by locking bolts 13. Filter screens 14 are fixed inside the filter frames 12 to filter dust and impurities entering the heat dissipation holes 9.

[0041] The four trapezoidal blocks 3 slide into the middle cylinder, providing internal support and effectively preventing deformation of the middle cylinder. The outer abutment rod 6 is trapezoidal in shape, providing inward support to the end cap body 1, further enhancing the end cap's anti-deformation capability.

[0042] The Z-shaped heat dissipation holes 9 allow for efficient heat dissipation from inside the generator while preventing liquid from entering the generator.

[0043] The combination of filter frame 12 and filter screen 14 effectively filters dust and impurities entering the heat dissipation hole 9, ensuring that the heat dissipation hole 9 is unobstructed.

[0044] The end cap body 1 is positioned and installed with the middle cylinder through the mounting hole 11, which simplifies the installation process. The filter frame 12 is installed on the outer wall of the end cap body 1 through the locking bolt 13, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the filter screen 14 and reduces maintenance costs.

[0045] The connecting plate 2, end cap body 1, trapezoidal block 3 and outer abutment rod 6 are made of ductile iron, which has high impact toughness, elongation and low brittle transition temperature, ensuring the reliability and durability of the components.
