Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of wind turbine pitch system, specifically relating to a heat dissipation device for the pitch motor of an SL1500 wind turbine. Background Technology

[0002] The original design of the Sinovel SL1500 turbine lacked a cooling system for its pitch control system, relying solely on the natural air cooling of the pitch motor itself. This resulted in low heat dissipation efficiency, especially under high wind speeds. The constant pitch adjustment of the blades, coupled with the significant torque required for blade angle adjustments in strong winds, led to rapid temperature rise in the pitch motor. When the temperature exceeded 100°C, the motor's load-carrying capacity decreased, requiring a larger current to handle the same load, further increasing the motor temperature and creating a vicious cycle. This resulted in the motor protection system failing to activate or the motor being damaged, and in high wind speeds, it could easily lead to runaway accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a heat dissipation device for the pitch motor of the SL1500 wind turbine, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: A heat dissipation device for the pitch motor of an SL1500 wind turbine includes: a bracket for snapping and fixing to the outside of the pitch motor; a heat dissipation component for cooling the pitch motor is detachably and fixedly connected to the bracket; and a temperature sensor for monitoring the pitch motor temperature is detachably and fixedly connected to the bracket. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to a controller. By installing a temperature sensor on the outside of the pitch motor to monitor its temperature, if the pitch motor temperature is too high, the controller activates the heat dissipation component to automatically cool the pitch motor, thus protecting it, preventing damage, and improving safety.

[0005] Furthermore, the bracket includes a left card holder and a right card holder, which are connected by a bolt assembly; the left card holder includes an upper left rod and a lower left rod, the front ends of which are fixedly connected by a left front plate, and the rear ends of which are fixedly connected by a left rear plate; the right card holder includes an upper right rod and a lower right rod, the front ends of which are fixedly connected by a right front plate, and the rear ends of which are fixedly connected by a right rear plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the left front panel is fixedly connected to a left front upper extension rod and a left front lower extension rod, and the outer ends of the left front upper extension rod and the left front lower extension rod are both vertically fixedly connected to a left front flap; the left rear panel is fixedly connected to a left rear upper extension rod and a left rear lower extension rod, and the outer ends of the left rear upper extension rod and the left rear lower extension rod are both vertically fixedly connected to a left rear flap; both the left front flap and the left rear flap are provided with a left connecting hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the right front panel is fixedly connected to a right front upper extension rod and a right front lower extension rod, and the outer ends of the right front upper extension rod and the right front lower extension rod are both vertically fixedly connected to a right front flap; the right rear panel is fixedly connected to a right rear upper extension rod and a right rear lower extension rod, and the outer ends of the right rear upper extension rod and the right rear lower extension rod are both vertically fixedly connected to a right rear flap; both the right front flap and the right rear flap are provided with a right connecting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the bolt assembly includes a screw inserted into the left and right connecting holes, the other end of which is threaded with a butterfly nut.

[0009] When in use, the bracket and bolt assembly can be used to adapt to various specifications of pitch motors. It is not limited by the shape modification of the pitch motor and can be directly installed. The operation is simple.

[0010] Furthermore, the heat dissipation assembly includes a first fan and a second fan, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the pitch motor. The temperature sensor is connected to thermal grease, which is applied to the outer wall of the pitch motor. The controller is connected to a circuit breaker. The application of thermal grease allows for more accurate temperature monitoring of the pitch motor by the temperature sensor.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By installing a temperature sensor externally on the pitch motor, the sensor monitors the pitch motor's temperature. If the pitch motor temperature is too high, the controller activates the heat dissipation components to automatically cool the pitch motor, protecting it from damage and improving safety. The use of thermal grease further enhances the accuracy of temperature monitoring by the temperature sensor. This invention also solves the problem of the pitch motor easily overheating in windy conditions on the Sinovel SL1500 generator set, leading to poor load-bearing capacity and even motor damage, effectively preventing runaway accidents.
