Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] This embodiment provides a dedicated yaw motor, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the yaw motor includes a mounting base 1 and a yaw motor 2 mounted on the mounting base 1. The yaw motor 2 is provided with a cold-proof mechanism 3 on its exterior.

[0023] The cold protection mechanism 3 includes a movable rail frame 31 symmetrically mounted on the fixed base 1 and a cold protection cover 32 set on the fixed base 1. A temperature sensor 4 is installed on the cold protection cover 32. An installation groove 36 is opened at the upper end of the cold protection cover 32. A sealing frame 33 for matching the installation groove 36 is installed at the upper end of the cold protection cover 32. A fixed frame 34 is inserted into the inner side of the sealing frame 33. A hot air blower assembly 342 is detachably installed inside the fixed frame 34. A ring plate 345 for overlapping the sealing frame 33 is installed on the fixed frame 34.

[0024] Specifically, the cooling cover 32 is an arched shell. The temperature sensor 4 installed on the cooling cover 32 can monitor the internal temperature of the cooling cover 32. The hot air blower assembly 342 is installed inside the fixed frame 34 and stands directly above the yaw motor 2. The hot air blower assembly 342 mainly consists of a fan, a heating element and a temperature control switch. When preheating is required, the heating element and the fan are energized to discharge hot air into the cooling cover 32 to provide preheating operation for the yaw motor 2.

[0025] Both the upper and lower ends of the fixed frame 34 are fixedly installed with air guide plates 341. A positioning frame 343 is installed at the air guide plate 341 near the yaw motor 2. A dust filter 344 is fixedly installed on the positioning frame 343. The positioning frame 343 and the air guide plate 341 near the yaw motor 2 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0026] More specifically, the air guide plate 341 serves to introduce air into the fan, and the positioning frame 343 serves to fix the dust filter 344. At the same time, the positioning frame 343 and the air guide plate 341 are fixed with screws. When the dust filter 344 accumulates dust after prolonged use, the dust filter 344 can be removed from the positioning frame 343 and the dust on the dust filter 344 can be cleaned to prevent the filter holes from being blocked by too much dust.

[0027] The movable rail frame 31 is provided with a sliding groove 35, and the cold-proof cover 32 is provided with a limiting sliding block 322 connected with the sliding groove 35. The cold-proof cover 32 is provided with symmetrical air guide grids 321, and the inner wall of the cold-proof cover 32 is attached with thermal insulation cotton.

[0028] It should be noted that the air guide grids 321 on the cold-proof cover 32 are slidably installed through the sliding groove 35 on the movable rail frame 31, so that when the yaw motor 2 is damaged, the cold-proof cover 32 can be pushed upward to expose the yaw motor 2, facilitating the maintenance of the yaw motor 2. The movable rail frame 31 can be fixed with the cold-proof cover 32 through threaded holes and screws, thereby improving the stability of the cold-proof cover 32 when covering the yaw motor 2.

[0029] The cold-proof cover 32 is fixedly provided with a signal converter 41 connected with the temperature sensor 4.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the signal converter 41 converts electrical signals into optical signals and transmits them through optical fibers. The optical fibers are laid on the bottom surface of the wind turbine generator to avoid the rotation of the wind turbine generator affecting the transmission of signals. People on the ground can connect to network equipment through optical fibers to monitor the temperature of the yaw motor 2 in real time.

[0031] In use, the cold-proof cover 32 is arranged on the fixed seat 1 to cover the yaw motor 2. The cold-proof cover 32 can effectively provide temperature insulation protection. When the device is in a cold region or in extremely cold weather, the hot air assembly 342 on the fixed frame 34 can be started in advance. The heating element in the hot air assembly 342 is powered to heat and then blows hot air into the cold-proof cover 32 through the fan to preheat the yaw motor 2, thereby enabling the yaw motor 2 to operate more stably. The thermal insulation cotton in the cold-proof cover 32 can effectively store the generated heat energy and effectively isolate the low temperature outside. The yaw motor 2 operates in a more suitable temperature environment, prolonging the service life and improving the reliability. At the same time, the cold-proof cover 32 provides protection, which can effectively protect the yaw motor 2 in harsh weather and prolong its service life.

[0032] The above is only the preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed in the present application according to the technical solution and concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
