[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0028] In the description of embodiments of this utility model, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of one implementation of the corrosion detection device for wind power equipment provided in this utility model embodiment; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view perpendicular to the first direction; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Rear view.

[0030] This utility model provides a corrosion detection device for wind power equipment. Specifically, it can be applied to offshore wind power equipment, lake wind power equipment, and other water-based wind power equipment, or it can be applied to other ground-based wind power equipment with relatively high corrosion risks. It is used to detect the corrosion of easily corroded areas such as metals in wind power equipment, thereby conveniently determining whether necessary maintenance and protection measures are needed to extend the service life of wind power equipment, and thus ensuring the safe and reliable operation of wind power equipment.

[0031] like Figures 1-3As shown, the corrosion detection device includes a mounting box 1000 and a detection plate 2000. The mounting box 1000 is used to connect to wind power equipment.

[0032] For ease of description, this embodiment of the invention defines a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z. Any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be set at an angle, such as 90 degrees.

[0033] The mounting box 1000 is provided with an insertion slot 1100 extending along a first direction X. The box wall of the mounting box 1000 is also provided with a window 1200. The window 1200 is connected to the insertion slot 1100 along a second direction Y. The detection plate 2000, specifically a corrosion plate, etc., is inserted into the insertion slot 1100, and a portion of the detection plate 2000 can be exposed through the window 1200.

[0034] In this embodiment, the corrosion detection device includes a mounting box 1000 and a detection plate 2000. The detection plate 2000 is no longer directly connected to the wind power equipment; instead, it is connected to the wind power equipment via the mounting box 1000. The detection plate 2000 is directly inserted into the insertion slot 1100 of the mounting box 1000, simplifying its installation and removal. Furthermore, the mounting box 1000 is provided with a window 1200, through which the detection plate 2000 can be partially exposed for corrosion detection.

[0035] In practical applications, the aforementioned mounting box 1000 can be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or polymer composite materials, to be suitable for harsh conditions in marine environments and other aquatic environments, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of corrosion damage to the mounting box 1000.

[0036] exist Figure 1 In the implementation, the mounting box 1000 can be a rectangular plate structure. Alternatively, the mounting box 1000 can also be other structural designs, such as curved plates, etc. No specific limitation is made here, as long as the requirements for use are met.

[0037] In some alternative implementations, the size of window 1200 along the third direction Z can be smaller than the size of insert slot 1100 along the third direction Z.

[0038] With this configuration, the size of window 1200 in the third direction Z can be relatively small. After the detection plate 2000 is inserted into the insertion slot 1100, no other fixing structure is needed to reliably install the detection plate 2000 within the mounting box 1000. The detection plate 2000 is less likely to fall out of the window 1200, thus improving the installation reliability and stability of the detection plate 2000. At the same time, it simplifies the structure of the mounting box 1000, thereby reducing its cost and facilitating the widespread application of the corrosion detection device provided in this embodiment.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 The projection plane S is a plane parallel to both the first direction X and the third direction Z. The projection of the insertion slot 1100 along the second direction Y onto the projection plane S is the first projection area S1, and the projection of the window 1200 along the second direction Y onto the projection plane S is the second projection area (not shown in the figure). In the third direction Z, the first projection area S1 can be divided into three areas: the first area S11 (blue line area), the second area S12 (red line area), and the third area S13 (green line area). The second area S12 can cover the second projection area.

[0040] Thus, the insertion slot 1100 can also be divided into three sections in the third direction Z: a ​​first guide section 1110, an exposed section 1120, and a second guide section 1130. The exposed section 1120 can be positioned opposite the window 1200 in the second direction Y. The portion of the detection plate 2000 located in the exposed section 1120 can be exposed through the window 1200 for corrosion detection. Both the first guide section 1110 and the second guide section 1130 can be offset from the window 1200 in the third direction Z. The sidewalls in the mounting box 1000 used to enclose the first guide section 1110 and the second guide section 1130 can limit the detection plate 2000 in the second direction Y, reducing the possibility of the detection plate 2000 shaking in the second direction Y and falling out of the window 1200, thereby greatly improving the installation reliability and stability of the detection plate 2000.

[0041] It should be understood that the above-described implementation of dividing the insertion slot 1100 into three segments along the third direction Z is only one optional solution of this utility model embodiment and should not be regarded as a limitation on the implementation scope of the corrosion detection device provided by this utility model embodiment. Under the condition of satisfying the function, the insertion slot 1100 can also adopt other structural forms. For example, the first guide portion 1110 and the second guide portion 1130 may only include one of them. For another example, the first guide portion 1110 and the second guide portion 1130 may not be provided. In this case, a fixing component in the form of an elastic lock can be added in the insertion slot 1100 to realize the installation and fixing of the detection hanger 2000 in the insertion slot 1100.

[0042] The number of detection plates 2000 in the aforementioned insertion slot 1100 can be one. Alternatively, the number of detection plates 2000 in the aforementioned insertion slot 1100 can also be at least two, and each detection plate 2000 can be arranged along the first direction X.

[0043] In some alternative implementations, the corrosion detection device for wind power equipment provided in this embodiment of the present invention may further include a locking element 3000.

[0044] The locking element 3000 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking element 3000 can block the opening of the insertion slot 1100 to prevent the detection hanger 2000 from falling out of the insertion slot 1100. In the unlocked state, the locking element 3000 can avoid the opening of the insertion slot 1100, so that the detection hanger 2000 can easily enter and exit the insertion slot 1100, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the detection hanger 2000.

[0045] The mounting box 1000 may be provided with a locking hole 1300. At least in the locked state, the locking element 3000 can be inserted into the locking hole 1300 to lock the locking element 3000.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking element 3000 can specifically be a locking pin, which can be connected to the mounting box 1000 via a flexible connector 3100 such as a rope or chain. In this way, even in the unlocked state, the locking element 3000 remains connected to the mounting box 1000, reducing the possibility of loss. Alternatively, the locking element 3000 can also be a spring pin, in which case it can be directly mounted on the mounting box 1000.

[0047] In fact, the locking element 3000 and the mounting box 1000 can also be independent. In this case, in the unlocked state, the locking element 3000 can be separated from the mounting box 1000, and the locking element 3000 is no longer connected to the mounting box 1000. The structure of the corrosion detection device provided in this embodiment of the present invention is simpler. In this implementation, the locking element 3000 can be the aforementioned locking pin or binding wire, etc.

[0048] In some alternative implementations, the mounting box 1000 may be equipped with a magnetic component 1400, which magnetically attaches the mounting box 1000 to the wind turbine. This eliminates the need for excessive connection structures between the mounting box 1000 and the wind turbine, achieving a reliable connection and simplifying the structure of the mounting box 1000, thereby reducing costs.

[0049] The aforementioned magnetic component 1400 can be, for example, a neodymium magnet, which possesses relatively superior magnetism, thereby providing a stronger attraction force for the mounting box 1000. Even in a turbulent marine environment, this ensures the reliability of the mounting box 1000's installation and more effectively resists the impact of wind and waves. Of course, the type of magnetic component 1400 is not limited to neodymium magnets; other magnetic components can also be used, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, ferrite magnets, AlNiCo magnets, and iron-chromium-cobalt magnets. No limitation is made here, as long as the requirements for use are met.

[0050] Combination Figure 3 The number of magnetic components 1400 can be four, and the four magnetic components 1400 can be respectively arranged at the four corners of the side of the mounting box 1000 facing the wind power equipment. In addition, other numbers or arrangements of magnetic components 1400 can also be used. Those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs during implementation.

[0051] In some alternative implementations, the mounting box 1000 may also be provided with an adhesive part, such as an adhesive backing, which can be bonded and fixed to the wind turbine by adhesive. In this way, the mounting box 1000 and the wind turbine do not need to have too many connection structures, which can achieve a reliable connection between the mounting box 1000 and the wind turbine, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the mounting box 1000 and thus reducing costs.

[0052] In practical applications, both adhesive bonding and magnetic attraction can be used simultaneously. This increases the reliability of the connection between the mounting box 1000 and the wind turbine, ensuring a more reliable connection over a longer period and extending the service life of the corrosion detection device provided in this embodiment. Of course, besides adhesive bonding and magnetic attraction, other connection methods can be used to secure the mounting box 1000 and the wind turbine, as long as the reliability requirements are met. For example, snap-fit, screw connection, welding, and riveting can also be used.

[0053] In some alternative implementations, the surface of the mounting box 1000 may also be provided with a marking section 4000.

[0054] The labeling unit 4000 can specifically be a nameplate or the like. The labeling unit 4000 can record identification information such as the type, serial number, testing time, testing unit, testing personnel and their contact information of the testing plate 2000, so that users can obtain it in a timely manner and easily determine the status of the testing plate 2000 in the installation box 1000.

[0055] Here, this embodiment of the utility model does not limit the connection method between the marking part 4000 and the mounting box 1000. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs, as long as the requirements of use are met. For example, the marking part 4000 and the mounting box 1000 can be connected by screw connection, snap-fit, riveting, bonding, welding, magnetic connection, etc.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
