Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to wind power generation equipment technical field, especially a kind of damping mounting seat and wind power generation equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the operation of wind turbine, periodic aerodynamic load is generated under the action of turbulent wind or shear wind, and rotation imbalance is caused by uneven mass distribution of wind wheel or blade installation deviation, which will lead to front and rear or lateral vibration of tower drum. Tower drum vibration will trigger a series of chain reactions, which will have a serious impact on the overall operation of the unit. For example, vibration will be transmitted to the cabin interior, causing the core components such as gear box and generator to bear additional dynamic load, accelerating the wear of gear meshing surface and the fatigue damage of bearing; vibration will reduce the alignment accuracy of coupling, affecting the stability of transmission system; at the same time, continuous mechanical vibration may also cause problems such as loose generator winding and poor electrical connection. In terms of structure, vibration will cause micro-cracks in the tower drum weld and flange connection due to long-term alternating stress, and gradually expand; the connection between blade root and hub will also appear bolt pre-tightening force due to vibration, which may cause structural failure in severe cases. In addition, vibration will also affect the control accuracy of the unit, causing the yaw system and variable pitch system to respond slowly, further exacerbating the instability of operation.

The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or their sequential relationship.
[0043] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 3The vibration damping mounting base according to a first aspect of this utility model includes a base 100, a mounting plate 200, and a locking structure 300. The base 100 is mounted on the ground and has mounting holes 110 for the bottom end of a tower 700 to be inserted into. The mounting plate 200 is connected to the tower 700, for example, by welding. The mounting plate 200 is positioned above the base 100, and an elastic element 210 is provided between the base 100 and the mounting plate 200. The base 100 and the mounting plate 200 are connected by the locking structure 300. Multiple locking structures 300 are provided, spaced apart around the circumference. The locking structure 300 is used to connect the base 100 and the mounting plate 200 to reduce the vibration of the tower 700 in all directions. (See reference...) Figure 1 As shown, the locking structure 300 includes a locking screw 310 and a locking nut 320. The locking screw 310 passes through the mounting plate 200 and the base 100 to connect with the locking nut 320. An elastic element 210 is sleeved on the locking screw 310. The elastic element 210 can be a spring or other structure.
[0045] To improve the fixing effect on the tower 700, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 110 increases sequentially along the vertical direction, meaning the cross-sectional shape of the mounting hole 110 about a vertical plane is trapezoidal. A first buffer washer 111 is installed inside the mounting hole 110, with its outer peripheral wall fitting against the inner wall of the mounting hole 110. The bottom end of the tower 700 is installed at the center of the first buffer washer 111. The first buffer washer 111 is preferably made of rubber or similar material and is fitted onto the bottom of the tower 700. Through the first buffer washer 111 and mounting hole 110 in this embodiment, when the tower 700 experiences lateral vibration, the outer peripheral wall of the first buffer washer 111 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 110. Furthermore, since the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 is inclined, the force exerted by the mounting hole 110 on the tower 700 will generate a large vertical component, thereby reducing damage to the tower 700 and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0046] Reference Figure 1As shown, the vibration damping mounting base in this embodiment also includes a first fixing structure 400, which includes a first clamp 410 and a reinforcing rod 420. The first clamp 410 is installed on the tower 700, and the reinforcing rod 420 connects the first clamp 410 and the mounting plate 200. The first clamp 410 is positioned above the mounting plate 200, and the reinforcing rod 420 is inclined. A buffer assembly 500 is installed inside the first clamp 410 and is fitted around the outer periphery of the tower 700. The buffer assembly 500 can be made of materials such as rubber. By installing the buffer assembly 500 inside the first clamp 410, hard contact between the tower 700 and the first clamp 410 can be avoided, which would affect the service life of the equipment. The buffer assembly 500 is installed above the mounting plate 200, and the first fixing structure 400 is connected to the mounting plate 200, enabling vibration damping of the tower 700 at different heights and further improving the vibration damping effect. The reinforcing rod 420 is preferably made of a rigid material, such as an alloy. The reinforcing rod 420 can be a telescopic rod to adjust the installation height of the first clamp 410, thus adapting to different heights and types of tower 700 structures. (Refer to...) Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first clamp 410 has mounting grooves 414 on its outer periphery for the insertion of reinforcing rods 420. Multiple mounting grooves 414 are provided, spaced apart around the circumference. Multiple reinforcing rods 420 are provided corresponding to the mounting grooves 414, with the top end of each reinforcing rod 420 inserted into one groove. These reinforcing rods are detachably connected to the first clamp 410 via fasteners, such as bolts. The detachable connection between the reinforcing rods 420 and the first clamp 410 facilitates the removal of the first clamp 410 and, consequently, the replacement of the buffer assembly 500 installed within it.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the size of the first clamp 410 is smaller than that of the mounting plate 200. Therefore, the top of the reinforcing rod 420 extends towards the tower 700 to form an inclined state. The inclined setting of the reinforcing rod 420 can improve its shear resistance and extend its service life. The bottom end of the reinforcing rod 420 can be hinged to the mounting plate 200 or connected by fasteners.
[0048] In an embodiment of this utility model, the inner sidewall of the first clamp 410 is provided with a groove 411, and the buffer assembly 500 is installed in the groove 411; the buffer assembly 500 includes a second buffer washer 510 and a third buffer washer 520, the second buffer washer 510 is installed in the groove 411, and the third buffer washer 520 is installed in the second buffer washer 510. (See reference...) Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the first clamp 410 is composed of multiple clamp units spliced together. Correspondingly, the second buffer washer 510 is composed of multiple second washer units spliced together, and the third buffer washer 520 is composed of multiple third washer units spliced together, to facilitate the installation of the first fixing structure 400 and the buffer assembly 500. The connection between adjacent clamp units forms a first joint 412, the connection between adjacent second washer units forms a second joint 511, and the connection between adjacent third washer units forms a third joint 521. Preferably, the first joint 412, the second joint 511, and the third joint 521 are staggered to ensure the consistency of the vibration reduction effect on the tower 700 in all directions.
[0049] It is conceivable that the buffer assembly 500 may only include the second buffer washer 510. However, it is preferable that the second buffer washer 510 is composed of multiple individual second washers spliced together. The presence of the second joint 511 will cause the buffering effect of the second buffer washer 510 to deteriorate when the tower 700 comes into contact with the second joint 511. This problem can be effectively solved by adding a third buffer washer 520, thereby improving the consistency of the vibration reduction effect of the first fixed structure 400 on the tower 700 in all directions.
[0050] In an embodiment of this utility model, the sidewall of the slot 411 is provided with a first positioning structure 413 protruding from its surface, and the second buffer washer 510 of the buffer assembly 500 is provided with a second positioning structure 512. The first positioning structure 413 cooperates with the second positioning structure 512 to restrict the rotation of the second buffer washer 510 relative to the first clamp 410. Correspondingly, the third buffer washer 520 is provided with a third positioning structure 522, and the second positioning structure 512 cooperates with the third positioning structure 522 to restrict the rotation of the third buffer washer 520 relative to the second buffer washer 510. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning structure 413 is a first positioning block protruding from the inner wall of the slot 411, the third positioning structure 522 is a second positioning block protruding from the outer surface of the third buffer washer 520, and the second positioning structure 512 is a positioning groove disposed on the end face of the second buffer washer 510. Both the first positioning block and the second positioning block can be embedded in the positioning groove. The first positioning structure 413 and the second positioning structure 512 cooperate to also play the role of installing and positioning the second buffer washer 510, and the second positioning structure 512 and the third positioning structure 522 cooperate to also play the role of installing and positioning the third buffer washer 520.
[0051] Reference Figure 2As shown, to prevent the second buffer washer 510 and the third buffer washer 520 from sliding relative to each other in the vertical direction, the outer peripheral wall of the third buffer washer 520 in this embodiment is provided with an annular groove 523, and the inner side wall of the second buffer washer 510 is provided with a retaining strip 513, which is embedded in the annular groove 523. It is conceivable that the outer peripheral wall of the third buffer washer 520 could also be provided with a retaining strip 513, and the inner side wall of the second buffer washer 510 could be provided with an annular groove 523. The shape and size of the retaining strip 513 and the annular groove 523 are not limited and can be specifically set according to the actual situation.
[0052] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the first clamp 410 are equipped with a cover plate 415. The two cover plates 415 form opposite side walls of the groove 411. The cover plates 415 are made of flexible materials, such as plastic or rubber. The cover plates 415 are used to shield the buffer assembly 500 to prevent the buffer assembly 500 from being affected by rain, sun exposure, etc. The cover plates 415 are made of flexible materials to avoid hard contact with the outer surface of the tower 700.
[0053] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the vibration damping mounting base in this embodiment also includes a second fixing structure 600. The second fixing structure 600 includes a second clamp 610 and a cable 620. The second clamp 610 is installed on the tower 700 and positioned above the mounting plate 200. The cable 620 connects the second clamp 610 and the mounting plate 200. Specifically, the second fixing structure 600 includes multiple cables 620, which are spaced apart around the circumference. The second clamp 610 is positioned between the mounting plate 200 and the first clamp 410. The second fixing structure 600 further enhances the vibration damping capability of the tower 700. The second clamp 610 can be fixedly connected to the tower 700 or connected via fasteners, such as welding or bolts. The cable 620 is preferably connected to the locking structure 300, for example, the cable 620 can be connected to the locking screw 310, in order to simplify the equipment structure and reduce manufacturing costs.
