[0002] With global warming and the increasing scarcity of non-renewable resources such as international crude oil, countries are increasingly attaching importance to the development and utilization of emerging green and environmentally friendly energy. Wind power generation is a kind of energy that can be developed and utilized, and it is valued for its non-polluting and renewable nature. Wind direction is random and always changing. As the key to efficient and stable operation of the entire wind turbine generator, the alternating current speed regulation mode of "wind turbine generator yaw alternating current variable frequency motor + frequency converter" is leading a revolution in the speed regulation field with its outstanding performance and economy, replacing traditional speed regulation methods. It also brings changes to other industries: greatly improving the degree of mechanical automation and production efficiency, increasing the capacity of power supply systems, and miniaturizing equipment, which is rapidly replacing traditional mechanical speed regulation.

[0003] Due to the particularity of variable frequency power supply and the narrow space in the wind turbine generator, the motor as the main power source has stringent requirements, bringing new challenges to the motor in terms of electromagnetic and structural aspects. However, the traditional variable frequency motor in the prior art has problems such as low efficiency, large size, and unsuitable replacement of the braking unit, which cannot effectively meet the above requirements.

[0013] The utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiments and specific implementation manners.

[0014] As Figure 2As shown, an AC variable frequency motor for a wind power yaw system includes a rotor assembly 1, a front cover assembly 2, a stator assembly 3, a rear cover assembly 4, a fan 5, a fan shroud 6, a grid ring 7, an air inlet pad 8, a brake friction plate 9, and a brake 10. The stator assembly 3 is connected to the front cover assembly 2 and the rear cover assembly 4 at both ends. The rotor assembly 1 is fixed inside the front cover assembly 2 and the rear cover assembly 4, with both ends of the shaft protruding from the outer sides of the front cover assembly 2 and the rear cover assembly 4. A fan 5 is mounted on the shaft of the rotor assembly 1 outside the rear cover assembly 4. A fan shroud 6 is mounted on the rear cover assembly 4 outside the fan 5. The rear cover assembly 4 has an air duct 41 that communicates with the outside and faces the base body. The grid ring 7, the air inlet pad 8, and the brake friction plate 9 are sequentially installed on the outside of the fan shroud 6. The brake 10 is installed on the outside of the brake friction plate 9 and connected to one end of the shaft of the rotor assembly 1.

[0015] Based on the above structure, specifically...

[0016] The installation position and structure of fan 5, fan cover 6, and grid cover 7 enable fan 5 to directly cool the rear end cover of the motor within the rear end cover assembly 4.

[0017] Cooling air can also be drawn out from the air duct 41 on the rear cover assembly 4 to directly cool the body of the base, which increases both the cooling area and the cooling air volume, thereby reducing the motor temperature.

[0018] The installation method of the air inlet pad 8, brake friction plate 9 and brake 10 replaces the direct fixing of the air cover in the existing technology, making the brake unit easier to disassemble and repair, shortening the total length of the motor, making the overall volume smaller, and making it easier to install and maintain.

[0019] The above structure optimizes the mechanical structure, allowing the fan blades and air ducts to directly dissipate heat from the motor, bypassing the brake. This increases the cooling area and airflow, thereby reducing the motor temperature and enabling long-term operation at high or low speeds. Furthermore, the optimized structure reduces the size, and the braking unit is not inside the fan shroud but exposed, facilitating the installation, maintenance, and repair of the yaw AC variable frequency motor of the wind turbine.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the variable frequency motor Y2VPEJS132M-4-7.5 is made of DW800-50 cold-pressed laminations, with a core length of 180mm. It includes a rotor assembly 21, a front cover assembly 22, a stator assembly 23, a rear cover assembly 24, a brake assembly 25, a fan 26, and a fan shroud 27. One end of the stator assembly 23 is connected to the front cover assembly 22, and the other end is connected to the rear cover assembly 24. The rotor assembly 21 is fixed inside the front cover assembly 22 and the rear cover assembly 23. The fan 26 is mounted on the rotor assembly 21, and the fan shroud 27 is mounted on the rear cover assembly 24.

[0021] In actual use, the fan 26 and the mechanism to be cooled are blocked by the brake assembly 25, resulting in poor cooling effect and poor motor cooling effect; the brake assembly 25 is installed in the fan cover 27 and is not easy to disassemble and replace; and the total length of the motor is 710 mm. Embodiment

[0022] The punched sheet is made of DW350-50 cold-pressed sheet, the length of the core is 215 mm, and the total length of the motor is 660 mm.

[0023] The electromagnetic structure is further optimized in the embodiment: the punched sheet cold-pressed sheet is changed from the prior art DW800-50 to DW350-50, the eddy current loss is reduced; the length of the stator core is increased from 180 mm to 215 mm, the magnetic flux density is reduced, the iron loss is reduced, and thus the efficiency is improved.

[0024] The above-described components are all prior art, and a person skilled in the art can use any model and prior design that can realize the corresponding functions.

[0025] The above-described is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
