Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planetary gear reducer technology, and in particular to a planetary gear reducer for wind turbine generator sets. Background Technology
[0002] Specialized lifting tools are required when installing wind turbine blades. A key component of the lifting tool structure is the planetary gearbox. When installing the next blade after the first one is installed, the gearbox needs to drive the turbine head to rotate. Although positive pressure pneumatic conveying can achieve rapid conveying, existing gearboxes have a large torque on the output pinion of the gearbox shaft due to the weight of the wind turbine blades and the uncertainty of the site environment. Furthermore, when installed at high altitudes, traditional gearboxes are bulky, making installation inconvenient and maintenance costs high. Therefore, we propose a planetary gearbox for wind turbines. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a planetary gearbox for wind turbine generator sets. This invention solves the problems of existing gearboxes where, due to the weight of the wind turbine blades and the uncertainties of the on-site environment, the output pinion of the gearbox shaft bears a large torque, and when installed at high altitudes, traditional gearboxes are bulky, inconvenient to install, and have high maintenance costs.
