[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a wind turbine nacelle sealing fastener, including an inner overlapping edge 1, an outer overlapping edge 2, a nut 3, a bolt 4, a cover 5, and a double-lip sealing ring 6. The inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 overlap each other, and the contact area between the inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 is provided with sealant or sealing element to ensure the airtightness of the wind turbine nacelle.

[0027] Furthermore, the bolt 4 is provided to pass through the inner lap edge 1 and the outer lap edge 2 from the inside to the outside, and a washer 41 is provided on the outside of the bolt 4 and between the inner lap edge 1 and the nut;

[0028] Specifically, washer 41 can increase the contact area between bolt 4 and inner lap edge 1, reduce pressure, avoid damage to inner lap edge 1 caused by excessive local pressure, extend the service life of fasteners, prevent loosening between bolt 4 and nut 3 due to vibration, wind and other factors, and ensure the stability of fasteners.

[0029] Furthermore, a reinforcing cylinder 31 is provided on one side of the inner diameter of the nut 3, and the reinforcing cylinder 31 is provided to pass through the outer overlapping edge 2 and the inner overlapping edge 1 from the outside to the inside;

[0030] Specifically, mounting holes are provided on both the outer overlapping edge 2 and the inner overlapping edge 1. After inserting the reinforcing cylinder 31 into the two mutually aligned mounting holes, misalignment of the outer overlapping edge 2 and the inner overlapping edge 1 can be prevented, which facilitates subsequent assembly steps. On the other hand, the reinforcing cylinder 31 can evenly distribute stress on the outer overlapping edge 2 and the inner overlapping edge 1, avoiding deformation or breakage caused by local stress concentration.

[0031] Furthermore, the portion of the bolt 4 that extends through the inner lap edge 1 and the outer lap edge 2 is threadedly engaged with the nut 3 and the cover 5. One side of the cover 5 has a curved surface structure, and the other side is provided with a receiving groove 51. An internal threaded sleeve 52 is provided in the center of the receiving groove 51, and the internal threaded sleeve 52 is threadedly connected to the bolt 4.

[0032] Specifically, one side of the curved structure of the cover 5 is adapted to the external structure of the wind turbine nacelle to meet aerodynamic or other design requirements, while the side with the receiving groove 51 faces the inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 to accommodate bolts 4, nuts 3 and related connecting parts.

[0033] Furthermore, the nut 3 abuts against the internal threaded sleeve 52;

[0034] Specifically, after the bolt 4 passes through the inner lap edge 1 and the outer lap edge 2 in sequence, the nut 3 and the inner threaded sleeve 52 abut against each other and work together on the bolt 4 to form a stable connection structure, reducing the gap between the inner lap edge 1 and the outer lap edge 2 caused by vibration or fatigue of the threaded connection structure.

[0035] Furthermore, a double-lip sealing ring 6 is installed on the edge of the cover 5. The side of the double-lip sealing ring 6 away from the cover 5 is in contact with the outer overlapping edge 2. The double-lip sealing ring 6 is annular, and an expansion ring 61 is provided on one side, and an outer lip ring 62 and an inner lip ring 63 are provided on the other side.

[0036] Specifically, the double-lip sealing ring 6 is made of silicone or rubber. When the cover 5 is installed on the outer overlapping edge 2, the double-lip sealing ring 6 fits tightly with the outer overlapping edge 2 through the outer lip ring 62 and the inner lip ring 63, forming a double seal. This effectively prevents dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the receiving groove 51, thereby protecting the internal connecting parts such as bolts 4 and nuts 3 from corrosion and extending the service life of the fasteners. It is worth noting that the outer lip ring 62 and the inner lip ring 63 together form a "V" shaped structure. The closer the cover 5 is to the outer overlapping edge 2, the greater the deformation of the "V" shaped structure, the greater the reaction force exerted by the double-lip sealing ring 6 on the outer overlapping edge 2, and the better the sealing effect.

[0037] Furthermore, an annular groove 53 is provided on the side of the cover 5 facing the outer overlapping edge 2, and an expansion ring 61 is interference-fitted into the annular groove 53;

[0038] Specifically, the expansion ring 61 has a circular cross-section. The circular cross-section of the expansion ring 61 has relatively uniform elastic properties in all directions, which can be easily embedded into the annular groove 53. The expansion ring 61 is embedded in the annular groove 53 of the cover 5 through interference fit, and generates elastic deformation, thereby providing a certain pre-tightening force, so that the double lip sealing ring 6 and the outer overlapping edge 2 fit tightly, enhancing the sealing effect. After the expansion ring 61 is installed, it can effectively prevent dust, moisture, salt spray and other impurities from entering the receiving groove 51, thereby protecting the internal bolts 4, nuts 3 and other connecting parts from corrosion and extending the service life of the fasteners.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] In use, first install the inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 into the holes. Then, insert the reinforcing cylinder 31 into the holes of the inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 from the outside to the inside. Next, put the washer 41 on the outside of the bolt 4, pass the bolt 4 from the inside to the outside, and tighten the nut 3. This will fasten the inner overlapping edge 1 and the outer overlapping edge 2 into one piece. Then, rotate the cover 5 to engage the inner threaded sleeve 52 with the bolt 4. The outer lip 62 and the inner lip 63 of the double-lip sealing ring 6 will abut against the outer overlapping edge 2 to form a double-layer sealing structure. Continue to rotate the cover 5 until the inner threaded sleeve 52 abuts against the nut 3. This will prevent the connection structure between the bolt 4 and the nut 3 from loosening.
