[0008] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0009] A sealing structure for a direct-drive wind turbine is characterized by comprising a reinforcing disc, a sealing mounting ring plate, and a C-type seal. The reinforcing disc is disposed at the non-drive end of the rotor support of the motor. Two C-type seals are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the reinforcing disc, and two sealing ring plates are disposed corresponding to the C-type seals. The two sealing ring plates are symmetrically fixed on the sealing mounting ring plate. The sealing ring plates are inserted into the C-type seals from the C-type lips. The C-type lips contact the inner and outer walls of the sealing ring plates respectively to form a sealing structure. The two C-type seals cooperate with the two sealing ring plates to form a double-layer sealing structure.
[0010] The C-type seal has a protrusion on its upper part, and the reinforcing disc has grooves on both sides that match the protrusion; the protrusion and the grooves cooperate to form a fixed shape.
[0011] The C-shaped sealing protrusions are fixed by being squeezed and pressed on opposite sides by sealing blocks.
[0012] The sealing block and the reinforcing plate are fixed together by bolts.

[0017] The two C-shaped sealing lips are positioned on the lower side near the retaining ring.
[0018] The cavity formed by the C-shaped lip of the C-type seal and the sealing ring plate is filled with lubricating oil.
[0019] The advantages of using this utility model are:
[0020] By using two C-type seals to form a double-layer seal, the possibility of foreign objects such as rain, snow, and dust entering the motor from the stator-rotor separation position is further reduced.
[0021] The outer C-type seal provides some protection for the inner C-type seal, slowing down the aging process of the inner seal and ensuring the reliability of the overall seal.
[0022] The axial distance between the sealing ring plate and the retaining ring can be adjusted by the sealing gasket to ensure the symmetry between the C-type seal and the sealing ring plate, thereby improving the follow-up deformation of the C-type seal and avoiding excessive local wear on the C-type lip of the seal.
[0023] Adding lubricating oil to the cavity formed by the compression of the C-type seal and the sealing ring plate can effectively reduce the wear of the sealing element and improve the service life of the sealing device. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This embodiment, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the structure and principle of this utility model:
[0028] A sealing structure for a direct-drive wind turbine includes a reinforcing disc 1, a sealing mounting ring plate 2, and a C-type seal 4. The reinforcing disc 1 is located at the non-drive end of the rotor support 9 of the motor. Two C-type seals 4 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the reinforcing disc 1, and two sealing ring plates 5 are provided corresponding to the C-type seals 4. The two sealing ring plates 5 are symmetrically fixed on the sealing mounting ring plate 2. The sealing ring plates 5 are inserted into the C-type seals from the C-type lips of the C-type seals 4. The C-type lips contact the inner and outer walls of the sealing ring plates 5 respectively to form a sealing structure. The two C-type seals 4 cooperate with the two sealing ring plates 5 to form a double-layer sealing structure.
[0029] The C-type seal 4 has a protrusion on its upper part, and the reinforcing disc 1 has grooves on both sides that match the protrusion; the protrusion and the grooves cooperate to form a fixed shape.
[0030] The C-shaped seal 4 is fixed by the sealing pressure block 3 on the opposite side of the protrusion.
[0031] The sealing ring plate 5 is bolted to the sealing mounting ring plate 2.
[0032] A sealing gasket 6 is provided between the sealing ring plate 5 and the sealing mounting ring plate 2.
[0033] The end of the reinforcing disc 1 has a retaining ring 7, and the radial distance d between the retaining ring 7 and the sealing mounting ring plate 2 is set in the range of 7-11mm.
[0034] The C-type seal has a 4C-type lip with different heights on both sides.
[0035] The two C-type seals 4C-type lips are positioned on the lower side near the retaining ring 7.
[0036] The cavity 8 formed by the compression of the C-type seal 4C-type lip and the sealing ring plate 5 is filled with lubricating oil.
[0037] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation of this scheme. Figs. 1-2 As shown, this utility model proposes a sealing structure for a direct-drive wind turbine, which includes a reinforcing disc 1 disposed on the non-drive side of the generator, a sealing mounting ring plate 2 disposed on the non-drive end of the generator stator frame 11, a sealing pressure block 3, a C-type seal 4, a sealing ring plate 5, and a sealing gasket 6, etc.
[0038] The reinforcing disc 1 is installed at the non-drive side end of the rotor support 9 to achieve isolation between the inside and outside of the non-drive side of the generator. The inner and outer end faces of the reinforcing disc 1 are provided with annular grooves for installing C-type seals 4 near the inner diameter. The shape of the grooves is adapted to the installation position of the C-type seals 4. The two are connected by the sealing pressure block 3 to form a double seal. Compared with the single-layer sealing structure, the double-layer sealing structure has better protection performance, further reducing the possibility of foreign objects such as rain, snow and dust entering the motor from the stator-rotor separation position. At the same time, the outer seal plays a certain role in protecting the inner seal, delaying the aging process of the inner seal, and ensuring the reliability of the overall seal.
[0039] A retaining ring 7 is connected to the inner end of the reinforcing disc 1. The retaining ring 7 is axially positioned at the center of the space enclosed by the inner and outer C-type seals 4. A support ring 10 is provided on the inner end face of the reinforcing disc 1 near the outer circle. The outer circle stop of the support ring 10 and the inner circle stop of the rotor support 9 at the non-drive side end are interference-fitted, with an interference amount of 0-0.2mm. Several sealing gaskets 6 of varying thicknesses can be provided between the sealing ring plate 5 and the sealing mounting ring plate 2, depending on the installation fit, to ensure the axial distance between the retaining ring 7 and the sealing ring plates 5 at both ends. Based on the specific dimensions of the stator and rotor after installation, the axial distance between the sealing ring plate 5 and the retaining ring 7 can be adjusted using the sealing gaskets to ensure the symmetry between the C-type seal 4 and the sealing ring plate 5, thereby improving the follow-up deformation of the C-type seal 4 and avoiding excessive local wear on the sealing C-type lip. The reinforcing disc structure serves both as part of the sealing device and as a radial support for the rotor support, improving air gap deformation.
[0040] The C-type seal 4 has its C-shaped lip facing inwards, and it is pressed together with the sealing ring plate 5 to complete a double-layer seal. Lubricating oil is filled into the cavity 8 formed by the pressing. Adding lubricating oil to the cavity formed by the C-type seal and the sealing ring plate effectively reduces wear on the sealing element and extends the lifespan of the sealing device.
[0041] Depending on the installation fit, sealing gaskets 6 of various thicknesses can be provided between the sealing ring plate 5 and the sealing mounting ring plate 2 to ensure the axial distance between the retaining ring 7 and the sealing retaining rings 5 at both ends.
