Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braking technology, and in particular to a braking device for a wind turbine. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbines, as a crucial component of renewable energy, have been widely adopted in recent years. With the continuous development of wind power technology, the scale and power of wind turbines have also been increasing. Against this backdrop, the safety and reliability of wind turbines are particularly important, and the braking system, as a key component, plays a vital role. The braking system of a wind turbine is primarily used to control the turbine's operating status in strong winds or malfunctions to avoid damage to the equipment and the surrounding environment.

[0026] A braking device for a wind turbine, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a chassis 2, with bushings 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the chassis 2, and a rotating shaft 4 rotatably inserted inside the bushings 3. A fan blade 1 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 4. A braking mechanism 6 is fixedly fixed to the inner top of the chassis 2 by bolts, and an auxiliary braking component 7 is rotatably connected to the front of the braking mechanism 6. A hydraulic cylinder 5 is bolted to the top outer wall of the chassis 2, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is connected to the drive end of the braking mechanism 6.
[0027] In order to facilitate effective braking of the rotating shaft 4 of fan blade 1, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the braking mechanism 6 includes a connecting shaft 601, a front plate 602, a guide plate 603, a fixing member 604, a rear plate 605, a brake ring 606, a first guide hole 607, a limiting strip 608, a second guide hole 609, a rotating shaft 610, a guide shaft 611, a U-shaped plate 612, a connecting plate 613, a sector tooth 614, and a rack plate 615. The fixing member 604 is fixed to the top inner wall of the housing 2 by bolts, the rear plate 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing member 604, the front plate 602 is bolted to one side of the front of the rear plate 605, and the guide plate 603 is threaded to the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0028] The top of the guide plate 603 and the rear plate 605 slide perpendicularly to each other. The U-shaped plate 612 is fixedly connected to both sides of the guide plate 603. The connecting plate 613 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U end of the U-shaped plate 612. The fan-shaped tooth 614 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting plate 613 through the guide shaft 611. The rotating shaft 610 is fixedly connected to both inner sides of the rear plate 605. The fan-shaped tooth 614 and the rotating shaft 610 form a rotatable connection. The connecting shaft 601 is threadedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 610.
[0029] The second guide hole 609 is opened on both sides of the lower front of the front plate 602, and the first guide hole 607 is opened on one side of the bottom of the rear plate 605. The first guide hole 607 and the second guide hole 609 are respectively slidably connected to the limit strip 608. The limit strip 608 is fixed on both sides of the rack plate 615.

The brake ring 606 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rack plate 615, and the two brake rings 606 wrap around the circumference of the rotating shaft 4.
[0030] During operation, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated to drive the guide plate 603 to slide downward on the top of the rear plate 605. The guide plate 603 pulls the U-shaped plate 612 downward. The U-shaped plate 612 pulls the fan-shaped tooth 614 to rotate around the rotating shaft 610 by a certain angle through the connecting plate 613. The rotating fan-shaped tooth 614 drives the two rack plates 615 to move inward horizontally.

[0031] Meanwhile, the brake ring 606 located at the bottom of the rack plate 615 moves closer to both sides of the circumference of the rotating shaft 4, gradually locking the rotating shaft 4 and completing the braking. This not only promotes effective braking of the rotating shaft 4 of the fan blade 1, but also improves braking efficiency and quality. Furthermore, by fitting the front plate 602 and the fixing member 604 together and installing it on the top inner side of the chassis 2 through the fixing member 604, the problems of inconvenient installation and low maintenance efficiency of the braking device in the prior art are solved, and the installation and removal efficiency of the braking mechanism 6 is improved.

[0034] When the U-shaped plate 612 drives the sector tooth 614 to rotate, the guide shaft 611 drives the top of the rocker arm 702 to make an arc-shaped movement in the arc-shaped hole 704, and the rocker arm 702 rotates around the connecting shaft 601, which drives the auxiliary brake plate 701 at the bottom of the rocker arm 702 to move inward to brake the rotating shaft 4, thus playing an auxiliary braking role and improving the braking effect on the rotating shaft 4.
