[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine technology, specifically to a tail rudder for a wind turbine. Background Technology
[0002] In wind turbine systems, the tail rudder is the core steering mechanism, and its performance directly affects power generation efficiency and equipment safety.
[0003] In the existing technology, traditional split tail rudders need to be fixed at multiple points with bolt groups. Precise alignment is required during assembly, and a large number of fasteners need to be disassembled for later maintenance, which is cumbersome. Although some integrated designs simplify the structure, they sacrifice maintainability. The overall replacement cost is high after failure. They do not support angle fine adjustment and have poor vibration stability.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a tail rudder for a wind turbine. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tail rudder for a wind turbine, which has the advantages of simple and quick installation and maintenance and the ability to finely adjust the angle, thus overcoming the defects of existing technologies mentioned in the background section.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a tail rudder for a wind turbine, comprising a rudder, a fixed plate, a tail rudder rod, and a tail rudder blade. An inlaid block is fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixed plate, and an mounting block is fixedly connected to the other side surface of the fixed plate. An insertion hole is provided at the end of the mounting block, and one end of the tail rudder rod is inserted into the insertion hole. The tail rudder blade is located at the other end of the tail rudder rod, and an mounting head is fixedly connected to one end of the tail rudder blade. The mounting head is sleeved on one end of the tail rudder rod.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the rudder has an inlay groove, the inner inlay block is inserted into the inlay groove, and a fastening bolt is threaded into each of the four corners of the fixing plate, the fastening bolt being threadedly connected to the rudder.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the tail rudder is provided with an annular groove, and the side of the mounting block is threaded with a plurality of fastening bolts II, the ends of which are movably engaged with the annular groove.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing ring plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the tail rudder stick, and a circular hole is fixedly opened on the surface of the fixing ring plate. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block, and a nut is threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod. The threaded rod is inserted into the inside of the circular hole, and the nut is tightly abutted against one side surface of the fixing ring plate.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting wing plate is fixedly connected to one end surface of the tail rudder, and the edge of the limiting wing plate is provided with a groove.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the mounting head is fixedly connected to a threaded rod two, and a nut two is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod two. The threaded rod two is engaged inside the groove, and one end of the nut two is tightly abutted against the side of the limiting fender.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The tail rudder of this wind turbine features a split design between the rudder and the mounting plate, combined with an interlocking structure of the inner insert and the slot, enabling rapid assembly and preventing lateral displacement. Four corner fastening bolts evenly distribute the load, enhancing connection strength. The tail rudder rod and mounting block employ a plug-in fit and annular groove limiting structure, with circumferential interlocking of the fastening bolts preventing axial movement.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a tail rudder for a wind turbine includes a rudder 100, a fixed plate 200, a tail rudder stick 300, and a tail rudder blade 400. An inlaid block 201 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixed plate 200, and an mounting block 203 is fixedly connected to the other side surface of the fixed plate 200. An insertion hole 204 is provided at the end of the mounting block 203. One end of the tail rudder stick 300 is inserted into the insertion hole 204. The tail rudder blade 400 is located at the other end of the tail rudder stick 300. An mounting head 401 is fixedly connected to one end of the tail rudder blade 400, and the mounting head 401 is sleeved on one end of the tail rudder stick 300. The rudder 100 and the mounting plate 200 adopt a split structure design to improve the convenience of assembly and maintenance; the inner inlay block 201 and the mounting block 203 form a dual positioning structure to enhance the stability of component connection; the plug-in connection between the socket 204 and the tail rudder stick 300 simplifies the installation process; the sleeve structure between the mounting head 401 and the tail rudder stick 300 enables quick disassembly and assembly of the tail rudder blade 400.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment, one end of the rudder 100 has an inlay groove 101, and an inner inlay block 201 is inserted into the inlay groove 101. Fastening bolts 202 are threaded into each of the four corners of the fixing plate 200, and the fastening bolts 202 are threadedly connected to the rudder 100. The engaging design of the inlay groove 101 and the inner inlay block 201 prevents lateral displacement of the fixing plate 200; the fastening bolts 202 distributed at the four corners evenly distribute the load, avoiding stress concentration and improving the connection strength between the rudder 100 and the fixing plate 200.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, the surface of the tail rudder stick 300 is provided with an annular groove 301, and the side of the mounting block 203 is threaded with multiple fastening bolts 207, the ends of which are movably engaged with the annular groove 301. The annular groove 301 and the fastening bolts 207 form a circumferential limiting structure to prevent the tail rudder stick 300 from moving axially; multiple sets of fastening bolts 207 provide redundant fixing points, enhancing the connection reliability between the tail rudder stick 300 and the mounting block 203.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, a fixing ring plate 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tail rudder stick 300. A circular hole 303 is fixedly formed on the surface of the fixing ring plate 302. A threaded rod 205 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block 203. A nut 206 is threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 205, which is inserted into the circular hole 303. The nut 206 tightly abuts against one side surface of the fixing ring plate 302. The cooperation between the fixing ring plate 302 and the threaded rod 205 enables the tail rudder stick 300 to finely adjust its angle. The bidirectional locking design of the nut 206 counteracts loosening caused by vibration, ensuring the stability of the connection angle between the tail rudder stick 300 and the mounting block 203.

The threaded rod 402 is engaged inside the groove 305, and one end of the nut 403 is in close contact with the side of the limiting fender 304. The cooperation between the threaded rod 402 and the groove 305 ensures the anti-loosening installation of the tail rudder 400; the bidirectional clamping force of the nut 403 eliminates the installation gap and improves the anti-torsional capability of the tail rudder 400 on the limiting fender 304.
