[0023] Example

[0024] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a non-contact wind turbine hub-main shaft connection bolt status monitoring device, including multiple connection bolts 1, multiple sets of energized coils 2 and a set of induction coils 3;

[0025] The number of connecting bolts 1 and the number of energized coils 2 are the same. Multiple energized coils 2 are respectively set at the hub end of multiple connecting bolts 1. The connection method between the energized coils 2 and the hub end of the connecting bolts 1 is set as adhesive fixation.

[0026] Multiple sets of energized coils 2 are connected in series with resistors, and all sets of energized coils 2 are connected in parallel with low-voltage AC power supply 4. The materials, cross-sectional parameters and number of coil turns of the multiple sets of energized coils 2 are the same, and the resistance values ​​of the different resistors are different. When the spindle rotates, the induction coil 3 enters the magnetic field of the energized coil 2 and generates an induced current. The different resistance values ​​of the resistors ensure that the current in each set of energized coils 2 is different, thus making the magnitude of the induced voltage different, so as to locate the damaged connecting bolt 1.

[0027] The induction coil 3 is set on the spindle base 5. The induction coil 3 is connected to the voltage measuring instrument 6. The voltage measuring instrument 6 communicates wirelessly with the host computer 8 through the acquisition network card 7. The voltage measuring instrument 6 inputs the current measurement result to the acquisition network card 7, and the acquisition network card 7 synchronizes the current measurement result to the host computer 8.

[0028] The output voltage effective value of the low-voltage alternating current power supply 4 is set to 10.6066V, and the measurement accuracy of the voltage measuring instrument 6 is set to be greater than 0.1mV.

[0029] The automatic alarm system is arranged in the host computer 8, and the alarm threshold of the automatic alarm system is determined according to the current variation of the induction coil 3; the current variation of the induction coil 3 is arranged in the permissible load range of the connecting bolt 1; when the measured current variation of the induction coil 3 exceeds the threshold, the alarm system issues a fault alarm.

[0030] The monitoring principle of the connecting bolt state monitoring device in the embodiment is as follows: the low-voltage alternating current power supply 4 supplies power, the energized coil 2 generates an electromagnetic field, and an induced current is generated in the induction coil 3 on the main shaft base 5; because the induced current is related to the state of the metal object in the two coils, i.e., the state of the connecting bolt 1, when the connecting bolt 1 appears fatigue damage such as tooth breakage, the induced current will change, thereby realizing the state monitoring of the connecting bolt 1.

[0031] Therefore, the non-contact type wind turbine hub-main shaft connecting bolt state monitoring device with the above structure is adopted in the utility model, relies on the electromagnetic induction principle, and realizes the non-contact type state monitoring of the hub-main shaft connecting bolt by monitoring the voltage and current value of the induction coil.
