Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake technology, specifically to a brake structure for quick installation and removal of brake pads. Background Technology
[0002] Yaw brakes are widely used in equipment requiring precise directional control, such as wind turbine generators. During the turning process of a wind turbine, the yaw brake controls the turbine's rotation angle, ensuring the turbine captures wind energy at the optimal angle. Over time, the brake pads of the yaw brake gradually wear down and need periodic replacement to ensure its proper functioning. However, traditional yaw brake designs require disassembling the entire brake unit to replace the brake pads. This not only increases maintenance complexity and time costs but may also lead to increased downtime for the wind turbine, impacting power generation efficiency.
