[0034] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a wind turbine generator with nacelle braking function, comprising:

[0035] The tower 100 has multiple waist-shaped holes 110 spaced circumferentially at its top.

[0036] The nacelle 200 is rotatably connected to the top of the tower 100;

[0037] At least one latch assembly 300 includes a drive unit 310 and a latch body 320 connected to the drive unit 310; the drive unit 310 is connected to the nacelle 200; the drive unit 310 drives the latch body 320 to extend through the bottom of the nacelle 200 so that at least one latch body 320 is inserted into the oblong hole 110 and the latch body 320 is locked to the tower 100, thereby stopping the nacelle 200.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive unit 310 of the latch assembly 300 is disposed on the nacelle 200. The drive unit 310 can drive the latch body 320 to extend and retract. When the latch body 320 extends, it passes through the nacelle 200 and inserts into the oblong hole 110, and the latch body 320 can lock with the tower 100, thereby stopping the nacelle 200 and preventing the nacelle 200 from rotating when personnel enter it. When unlocking is required, the drive unit 310 drives the latch body 320 to retract, thereby unlocking it, and then the latch body 320 is withdrawn from the oblong hole 110 to release the stop on the nacelle 200. Therefore, this embodiment can automatically stop and release the nacelle 200, improving the safety of maintenance personnel.

[0039] In some embodiments, the latch assembly 300 further includes an L-shaped connecting bracket, through which the drive unit 310 is connected to the cabin 200. This embodiment allows the drive unit 310 to be fixed to the cabin 200 via the L-shaped connecting bracket, resulting in a simple connection structure.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket further includes a reinforcing rib connected to the cabin 200, the reinforcing rib being attached to one side of the connecting bracket. The reinforcing rib provides further support to the L-shaped connecting bracket.

[0041] Furthermore, the pin assembly 300 also includes a connecting portion 330 for connecting the drive unit 310 and the pin body 320; the connecting portion 330 includes a sleeve 331 and a connecting lug 332 connected to one end of the sleeve 331; the output shaft of the drive unit 310 is detachably connected to the sleeve 331, and the connecting lug 332 is detachably connected to one end of the pin body 320. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 330 enables the output shaft of the drive unit 310 to be detachably connected to the pin body 320, providing a reliable connection and facilitating disassembly and replacement.

[0042] Further, the output shaft of the driving part 310 is detachably connected with the sleeve 331 through threads. Specifically, the detachable connection between the output shaft of the driving part 310 and the connecting part 330 is achieved through bolt connection in the embodiment, which realizes quick mounting and dismounting, has low processing difficulty, and reduces processing cost.

[0043] Further, the connecting lug 332 is provided with a first connecting hole 333, and the end of the bolt body 320 is provided with a connecting piece 321, which is provided with a second connecting hole 322; the first connecting hole 333 and the second connecting hole 322 are connected through a fastener 334. For example, the fastener 334 is a bolt. For another example, the fastener 334 is a pin. In some embodiments, the connecting lug 332 is two, the connecting piece 321 is inserted between the two connecting lugs 332, and then the connecting piece 321 is fixed and connected through the fastener 334, which is more stable and reliable. Specifically, the detachable connection between the bolt body 320 and the connecting part 330 is achieved through the connecting lug 332, the connecting piece 321, and the fastener 334 in the embodiment, which has simple structure, is convenient for mounting and dismounting, and has low cost.

[0044] Further, the bolt body 320 includes a main body 323 and a bolt piece 324 connected with the main body 323, the main body 323 is connected with the driving part 310, the main body 323 is located outside the waist-shaped hole 110, the bolt piece 324 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 110 and is locked with the tower 100; the length L of the waist-shaped hole 110 is 1.5-2 times the diameter D of the bolt piece 324. Specifically, the length of the waist-shaped hole 110 is limited in the embodiment, so if the bolt piece 324 fails during the stopping process, the bolt piece 324 will move in the waist-shaped hole 110, and the movement range is 0.5 D-1 D, which is relatively small and can be ignored, thereby further ensuring the stopping effect.

[0045] Further, the distance M between the two adjacent waist-shaped holes 110 is 1 / 2-1 times the diameter of the bolt piece 324. Specifically, the embodiment can ensure the connection strength, and if the bolt piece 324 is located between the two adjacent waist-shaped holes 110, the cabin 200 can slightly rotate, and the bolt piece 324 can enter the waist-shaped hole 110, thereby improving the locking efficiency.

[0046] Further, the bottom of the cabin 200 is provided with a through hole 210 corresponding to the bolt piece 324; the bolt piece 324 is elongated to pass through the through hole 210 and is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 110; the top end of the through hole 210 is provided with a tapered guide hole 220 in communication with the through hole 210, and the hole diameter of the top end of the tapered guide hole 220 is larger than the hole diameter of the through hole 210. The through hole 210 and the waist-shaped hole 110 are coaxially arranged. Specifically, the tapered guide hole 220 arranged in the through hole 210 in the embodiment can guide the entry of the bolt body 320, thereby facilitating the bolt body 320 to quickly and smoothly pass through the through hole 210.

[0047] Further, the width B of the waist-shaped hole 110 is greater than the diameter of the through hole 210. Specifically, the bolt body 320 can be ensured to smoothly enter the waist-shaped hole 110 after passing through the through hole 210.

[0048] Further, the application also comprises a signal feedback sensor 400 arranged on the tower drum 100 (for example, the signal feedback sensor 400 is arranged at a position close to the waist-shaped hole 110 in the lower edge surface of the tower drum 100) and a control assembly electrically connected with the signal feedback sensor 400; the signal feedback sensor 400 is used to identify whether the bolt body 320 and the tower drum 100 are locked. Specifically, the embodiment can identify the signal whether the bolt 324 and the tower drum 100 are locked, and transmit the signal to the maintenance personnel through the control assembly. After receiving the signal feedback, the maintenance personnel can control and adjust the driving part 310 through the control assembly to ensure that the bolt body 320 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 110 and locked with the tower drum 100. Until the locking signal is obtained, the maintenance personnel can go up the tower for maintenance. The embodiment can provide the maintenance personnel on the ground with the exact locking signal through the signal feedback, and then the maintenance personnel can implement the work, further improving the safety of maintenance.

[0049] Further, the driving part 310 is an electric push rod. Specifically, the embodiment can realize the movement and stop of the bolt body 320 through on-off electricity, or adjust the movement stroke of the bolt body 320 through adjusting the current or voltage, which is more controllable.

[0050] Further, the bolt body 320 is a double-ball lock pin. Specifically, the ball of the double-ball lock pin directly clamps the lower surface of the tower drum 100 after extending, so that the friction force between the ball and the lower surface of the tower drum 100 realizes locking, so as to stop the nacelle 200. For example, the signal feedback sensor 400 can be a pressure sensor, which judges whether it is locked by monitoring the size of the acting force between the lower surface of the tower drum 100 and the ball. For another example, the signal feedback sensor 400 can be a proximity switch, which identifies the depth of the bolt 324 inserted into the waist-shaped hole 110 or the length of the bolt 324 extending out of the lower surface of the tower drum 100 through the proximity switch, so as to judge whether it is locked.

[0051] Further, the driving part 310 is an electric push rod; the bolt body 320 is a double-ball lock pin. The beneficial effects of the embodiment are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
