[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil injection equipment, and in particular relates to an oil injection device for a wind turbine gearbox. Background Technology

[0002] In wind turbine generator sets, the gearbox is a crucial and widely used mechanical component. Its main function is to transmit the power generated by the wind turbine under wind force to the generator, enabling it to achieve the corresponding rotational speed. To maintain the wind turbine gearbox, it is usually necessary to use an oiling device to lubricate it, which helps reduce wear on gears and other moving parts, and extends gear life.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document disclosing a wind turbine gearbox oil injection device [Application No.: CN202321786230.6; Publication No.: CN220540839U]. This wind turbine gearbox oil injection device includes a transmission assembly, with an oil outlet assembly and an oil injection assembly detachably connected to both ends of the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes an oil pump, with a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe fixedly connected to both ends of the oil pump.

[0004] Although the wind turbine gearbox oiling device disclosed in this patent can perform dual filtration of lubricating oil through the transmission component, oil outlet component and oil injection component, thereby improving the quality of lubricating oil, this wind turbine gearbox oiling device requires an oil pump for oiling operation. It cannot adjust and precisely control the amount of oil injected into the gearbox. In addition, the overall structure is large, making it impossible to perform routine oiling of the wind turbine gearbox. The oiling efficiency is limited, and the convenience and practicality are poor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a wind turbine gearbox oil injection device, which can effectively solve the problems of the existing technology.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a wind turbine gearbox oil injection device, including an oil cylinder, a lower receiving bucket connected to the bottom of the oil cylinder, a filter assembly inside the lower receiving bucket, and a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower receiving bucket. An oil injection pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the lower receiving bucket, and an oil volume adjustment assembly is provided on one side of the oil injection pipe, which is located inside the connecting pipe.

[0008] The oil volume regulating component includes a fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe, and an oil injection pipe is provided on the outer side of the fixed plate.

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting up the oil quantity adjustment component, the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe is injected into the wind turbine gearbox through the oil injection pipe in a controlled manner, avoiding the problem of excessive lubricating oil entering the gearbox and causing spraying or overflow. Moreover, by setting up the oil cylinder and the lower receiving hopper, the lubricating oil inside the oil cylinder can be directly injected into the oil injection pipe through the lower receiving hopper and the connecting pipe, eliminating the need for an oil pump and preventing damage to the internal components of the gearbox caused by the lubricating oil spray pressure.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model is a wind turbine gearbox oil filling device, including an oil cylinder 1, a lower receiving hopper 2, a connecting pipe 3, an overflow pipe 4, an oil filling pipe 5, a boss 6, a retaining ring 7, a filter screen 8, a fixing plate 9, a through hole 10, a connecting rod 11, a rotating plate 12, a magnetic plate 13, an inner slide rail 14, a magnetic block 15, and a sliding groove 16. The lower receiving hopper 2 is snapped and connected below the oil cylinder 1. The lower receiving hopper 2 is bucket-shaped, which facilitates the centralized collection of lubricating oil at the bottom. In order to filter the oil coming out of the bottom of the oil cylinder 1, a filter assembly is provided inside the lower receiving hopper 2. Meanwhile, a connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower receiving bucket 2. The connecting pipe 3 is set in an "L" shape, and an oil injection pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 3 away from the lower receiving bucket 2. In order to ensure the flexibility and controllability of the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3, an overflow pipe 4 is fixedly connected above the connecting pipe 3, and a connecting valve is installed on the overflow pipe 4 to control its opening and closing. Through the setting of the overflow pipe 4, the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3 is discharged through the connecting valve, ensuring the effective discharge of the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3.

[0027] Specifically, to control the oil volume of the oil injection pipe 5 on one side of the connecting pipe 3, an oil volume adjustment component is installed on one side of the oil injection pipe 5. The oil volume adjustment component is located inside the connecting pipe 3. The oil volume adjustment component includes a fixing plate 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. The oil injection pipe 5 is installed on the outer side of the fixing plate 9. Multiple through holes 10 are equidistantly arranged in a ring inside the fixing plate 9. Through the through holes 10, the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3 enters the oil injection pipe 5. To adjust the flow rate of the through holes 10, a connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 9. A rotating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 11. The rotating plate 12 is fitted to one side of the fixing plate 9, which facilitates the adjustment of the through holes 10 by the rotating plate 12 on the outer wall of the fixing plate 9. To achieve the rotation effect of the rotating plate 12, the outer wall of the rotating plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. Specifically, the outer wall of the rotating plate 12 is fixedly connected to... A magnetic plate 13 is provided, and an inner slide rail 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the magnetic plate 13. The inner slide rail 14 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3 to ensure the rotational stability of the rotating plate 12. At the same time, in order to facilitate the user to operate the rotating plate 12 from the outside, a magnetic block 15 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3, and the magnetic block 15 is magnetically connected to the rotating plate 12. A groove 16 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3 to accommodate the sliding connection of the magnetic block 15. The groove 16 is arranged in a ring structure, and the magnetic block 15 is magnetically connected to the magnetic plate 13. With this arrangement, when the user rotates the magnetic block 15 on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3, under the magnetic action of the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic plate 13 at a designated position, the magnetic block 15 can drive the magnetic plate 13 to slide on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. This allows the rotating plate 12 to adjust the flow size of the through hole 10 inside the connecting pipe 3, realizing the adjustment and control of the oil injection volume inside the connecting pipe 3, and ensuring the accuracy and scientific nature of oil injection.

[0028] Furthermore, to achieve filtration of the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3, a filter assembly is installed inside the lower receiving hopper 2. This filter assembly includes a boss 6, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower receiving hopper 2. To achieve filtration of the lubricating oil inside the lower receiving hopper 2, multiple filter units are continuously stacked and installed above the boss 6. Specifically, each filter unit includes a retaining ring 7, which is connected to the top of the boss 6. The boss 6 facilitates the installation of the filter units inside the lower receiving hopper 2 via the retaining ring 7. By continuously stacking multiple retaining rings 7, multiple filter units can perform multiple efficient filtrations inside the lower receiving hopper 2. To ensure filtration effectiveness, filter screens 8 are fixedly connected inside the retaining rings 7. The multiple filter screens 8 stacked vertically are coarse, medium, and fine filter screens, respectively. This configuration allows users to adjust the filter units according to the oil filling requirements of the wind turbine gearbox, facilitating filtration of lubricating oil at different mesh sizes. This improves the applicability and flexibility of the oil filling equipment, and is simple, convenient, and highly practical.

[0029] Working Principle: In use, one end of the oil injection pipe 5 is installed on one side of the oil injection port of the wind turbine gearbox. A filter assembly is installed inside the lower receiving hopper 2. Under the action of the boss 6, multiple filter units are installed inside the lower receiving hopper 2, facilitating the filtration of the lubricating oil inside the lower receiving hopper 2 by multiple filter screens 8. With the lower receiving hopper 2 installed at the bottom of the oil cylinder 1, the lubricating oil inside the oil cylinder 1 is efficiently filtered through multiple filter units and enters the connecting pipe 3 through the lower receiving hopper 2. With the oil injection pipe 5 connected to one side of the connecting pipe 3, the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3 flows into the wind turbine gearbox for automatic oil injection. To regulate the flow rate of the lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3, a fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 3. A rotating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 9. This allows the user to operate the magnetic block 15 externally. Through the magnetic connection between the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic plate 13, the magnetic plate 13 drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate inside the connecting pipe 3. This allows the rotating plate 12 to adjust the flow size of the through hole 10 inside the connecting pipe 3, thereby controlling the flow rate of lubricating oil into the oil injection pipe 5. This facilitates the adjustment and control of the oil injection amount in the wind turbine gearbox, ensuring the accuracy and scientific nature of the oil injection. Furthermore, by setting an overflow pipe 4 above the connecting pipe 3, under the action of the connecting valve, the overflow pipe 4 can collect excess lubricating oil inside the connecting pipe 3 through opening and closing, achieving reasonable distribution and utilization of lubricating oil, effectively reducing oil injection costs. Moreover, the structure is simple and highly practical. This completes the working principle of the wind turbine gearbox oil injection equipment.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
