[0006] (2) poor maintenance: when the bearing or seal fails, the speed reducer needs to be disassembled as a whole, and the maintenance downtime is long;
[0007] (3) low generalization of spare parts: the shaft system and bearing are highly customized, the spare parts inventory pressure is high, and the emergency replacement cycle is long. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0010] A wind power yaw variable pitch speed reducer's output structure, comprising: an integrated output shaft, the integrated output shaft is assembled with a planetary gear and an inner gear ring to form a low speed stage planetary gear system; the integrated output shaft is connected with an output gear to form an output transmission system;
[0011] When the low speed stage planetary gear system and the output transmission system combine to form a torque transmission route, the raw material is 42CrMoA, so as to form a forging pit during forging and reduce material waste and cost.
[0012] In actual application, the integrated output shaft is supported by the first bearing and the second bearing, and is connected with a lower machine body.
[0013] The integrated output shaft is equipped with an oil seal as a sealing element, and the oil seal is located between the first bearing and the second bearing.

[0017] In the output structure of the wind turbine yaw and pitch reducer provided by this utility model, the integrated output shaft is equipped with planetary gears and an internal gear ring to form a low-speed planetary gear system. Simultaneously, the integrated output shaft is connected to the output gear to form an output transmission system. Furthermore, when the low-speed planetary gear system and the output transmission system are combined to form a torque transmission route, 42CrMoA is used as the raw material to create forging pits during forging, reducing material waste and lowering material costs.
