Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine installation structure, and in particular to an installation structure for a doubly fed wind turbine base, bearing housing and elastic support. Background Technology

[0002] The drive train system is a crucial component of wind turbine generator sets, and the main bearing plays a vital supporting role within it. For the main bearing to fulfill this supporting function, it relies on the support and fit of its bearing housing. With the development of the wind power industry, turbine models are becoming increasingly larger, and doubly-fed induction generators are gradually transitioning from dual main bearings to single main bearings. This places increasingly greater loads on the bearing housings, making them highly susceptible to slippage. Existing technologies, such as Chinese invention patent CN110788776B, disclose a positioning device for the main shaft bearing housing of a wind turbine generator set. This device can quickly and accurately position the bearing housing to ensure the clearance of the main shaft bearing is within tolerance, extending the service life of the main shaft bearing and ensuring the stability of the main shaft during operation. However, it only positions the bearing housing.

[0003] The elastic support is mainly used to support the gearbox and bear the radial alternating load and axial load. During the operation of the unit, the elastic support of the gearbox is also prone to slippage. However, there are currently few methods in this field to prevent the slippage of the bearing housing and elastic support of the doubly fed wind turbine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a mounting structure for a doubly fed wind turbine generator base, bearing housing, and elastic support. This structure effectively solves the problem of slippage between the doubly fed wind turbine generator base, bearing housing, and gearbox elastic support, thereby preventing bolt breakage that could lead to more serious malfunctions in the generator unit.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a mounting structure for a doubly fed wind turbine generator base, bearing housing, and elastic support, including a base, bearing housing, elastic support, a first high-friction coefficient friction plate, a second high-friction coefficient friction plate, and tension bolts; wherein, one end of the base mates with the bearing housing and has L-shaped stops at both sides of the bearing housing, and the bearing housing has corresponding L-shaped grooves matching the L-shaped stops; the first high-friction coefficient friction plate is installed between the contact surfaces of the base and the bearing housing, and the base, the first high-friction coefficient friction plate, and the bearing housing are fastened together by tension bolts; the other end of the base mates with the elastic support and has U-shaped stops at both sides of the elastic support, and the elastic support has corresponding U-shaped grooves matching the U-shaped stops; the second high-friction coefficient friction plate is installed between the contact surfaces of the base and the elastic support, and the base, the second high-friction coefficient friction plate, and the elastic support are fastened together by tension bolts.

[0006] Furthermore, the first high-friction coefficient friction plate is a rectangular friction plate with multiple bolt holes, and the bolt holes correspond one-to-one with the preset bolt holes of the machine base and bearing housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the second high-friction coefficient friction plate is an I-shaped friction plate with multiple bolt holes, and the bolt holes correspond one-to-one with the preset bolt holes of the base and elastic support.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first high-friction coefficient friction plate and the second high-friction coefficient friction plate are spring steel friction plates.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first and second high-friction coefficient friction plates have a diamond coating on their surfaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic support is connected to the gearbox of the doubly fed wind turbine.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0012] This utility model provides matching base stops on both sides and the rear side of the base, bearing seat, and elastic support, and uses friction plates with a high coefficient of friction to further increase the friction force. This can prevent slippage between the base, bearing seat, and elastic support due to large external loads during the operation of the doubly fed wind turbine, which could lead to breakage of the fixing bolts and serious failures. It is highly practical and has low installation cost. Attached Figure Description
