Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, 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.

[0038] The pitch system is a key control component of wind turbine transmission equipment. Its main function is to use a frequency converter to control the operation of the pitch motor, which in turn drives the gears and blades to rotate, thereby controlling the vertical wind direction of the blades. This ensures that the blades are in a relatively safe working state, allowing the wind turbine to operate and generate electricity efficiently without breaking apart due to excessive wind volume or excessive blade speed, thus protecting the entire wind turbine for long-term safe and efficient operation.

[0039] The pitch system consists of a pitch control cabinet and a pitch motor. The pitch control cabinet consists of a pitch driver, a backup power supply, and electrical components, including reactors, heaters, sensors, fuses, switches, and an external switching power supply.

[0040] The pitch drive, pitch motor, and backup power supply are the three core components of a pitch system, with the main functions being implemented by the pitch drive. The pitch drive is a highly integrated component; the power devices can be cooled by the pitch drive, and the pitch drive can directly and independently drive the motor.

[0041] Figure 1 The diagram shows a power circuit for a pitch motor. Three-phase power supplied by the grid is input to a grid-side power conversion circuit, which rectifies the three-phase power to obtain direct current (DC). This DC power is then transmitted through the bus to the turbine-side power conversion circuit, where it is inverted to obtain alternating current (AC). This AC power drives the pitch motor. Additionally, when the motor brakes, the bus voltage rises, and the grid-side power conversion circuit feeds the energy from the bus voltage back to the grid.

[0042] The aforementioned grid-side power conversion circuit and machine-side power conversion circuit may include IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) devices, or MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) devices.

[0043] The grid-side power conversion circuit and the engine-side power conversion circuit are laid on the same circuit board, which can handle a relatively fixed and small power level, making it difficult to meet high power requirements. Therefore, the power board, pitch motor drive unit, and pitch motor drive system provided in this application embodiment can be applied to pitch systems.

[0044] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a power board disclosed in this application will first be described in detail, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the power board includes: a power conversion circuit 20, a first current sensor 21, and a first signal connector 22; the first current sensor is connected to the power conversion circuit.

[0045] The power conversion circuit is used to input three-phase AC power and output DC power, or it can be used to input DC power and output three-phase AC power. For example, when the power board is connected to the power grid, the three-phase AC power from the grid is input to the power conversion circuit, which rectifies the input three-phase AC power and outputs DC power.

[0046] When the power board is connected to the bus, the DC power supplied by the bus is input to the power conversion circuit. The power conversion circuit inverts the input DC power and outputs AC power. This AC power is then output to the power grid or pitch motor through the three-phase power transmission pin.

[0047] The aforementioned current sensor is used to acquire current signals; specifically, it can measure the current signal in a bridge arm circuit composed of power devices in a power conversion circuit. This current signal can be either the AC current signal output from the power conversion circuit or the AC current signal input to the power conversion circuit.

[0048] The aforementioned first signal connector is connected to both the first current sensor and the power conversion circuit. The first signal connector is used to forward control signals sent by the control board to the power conversion circuit, thereby controlling the operation of the power conversion circuit. The first signal connector can also forward status signals generated by the power conversion circuit and the current sensor to the control board. Specifically, this first signal connector can be a communication interface.

[0049] The control signal can specifically be a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) waveform signal. The control signal is sent to the drive circuit in the power conversion circuit, and the drive circuit controls the power devices such as IGBTs or MOSFETs in the power conversion circuit to turn on and off according to the control signal.

[0050] The aforementioned power conversion circuit can generate status signals such as temperature signals and drive fault signals of the power devices. The temperature signal can be generated by a temperature sensor installed on the power conversion circuit. The power conversion circuit sends the generated status signals to the first signal connector, and the current signal generated by the current sensor is also transmitted to the first signal connector. The first signal connector forwards these status signals to the control board.

[0055] The power board can also be equipped with three-phase power transmission pins, including U pin, V pin and W pin. Each pin outputs one phase of the three-phase AC power. Each pin is equipped with a current sensor to collect the current of the corresponding phase.

[0056] Specifically, the first auxiliary power supply circuit can supply power to the drive circuit of the switching transistor in the power conversion circuit. The first auxiliary power supply circuit usually does not supply power to the current sensor or the first signal connector.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a pitch motor drive unit, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pitch motor drive unit includes: a radiator 40, a grid-side power board 41, and a machine-side power board 42; both the grid-side power board and the machine-side power board are implemented using the aforementioned power boards; the grid-side power board and the machine-side power board are mounted on the radiator.

The DC power input to the machine-side power board is provided by the DC bus, and the three-phase AC output powers the pitch motor. A radiator provides heat dissipation for both the grid-side and machine-side power boards. The grid-side and machine-side power boards are tightly attached to and fixed to the radiator.

[0059] When the pitch motor brakes, the bus voltage rises, and the grid-side power board can feed the electrical energy from the bus voltage back to the grid, significantly reducing the energy loss of the braking resistor, reducing the heating of the braking resistor, lowering the temperature of the hub, and improving the reliability of the pitch drive unit.

[0062] like Figure 5In the above-mentioned pitch motor drive unit, there is also a function board 50; the function board includes: a first switch 501 and a corresponding drive circuit for the first switch, a second switch 502 and a corresponding drive circuit for the second switch, and a third switch 503 and a corresponding drive circuit for the third switch.

[0063] The first switch is used in the redundant braking circuit, the second switch is used in the voltage conversion circuit connected to the backup power supply, and the third switch is used in the voltage conversion circuit connected to the high-voltage holding brake circuit. The function board is mounted on the heat sink. The function board is in close contact with the heat sink and fixed to it.

[0064] This functional board integrates the switching transistors in the redundant braking circuit, the voltage conversion circuit connected to the backup power supply, and the voltage conversion circuit connected to the high-voltage brake circuit. The board is mounted on a heatsink to dissipate heat from these switching transistors. The voltage conversion circuits connected to the backup power supply and the high-voltage brake circuit can specifically be BUCK circuits or other types of voltage conversion circuits. The backup power supply can be implemented using a supercapacitor module.

[0065] When the pitch motor brakes, it mainly relies on the grid-side power board to feed the electrical energy from the DC bus back to the grid. Considering safety redundancy, the aforementioned redundant braking circuit is also set up. When the grid-side power board fails, the redundant braking circuit releases electrical energy to improve the safety of the drive unit.

[0066] like Figure 6 The aforementioned functional board also includes: a second current sensor 60 and a third current sensor 61; the second current sensor is a current sensor connected to the backup power supply, and the third current sensor is a current sensor connected to the high-voltage holding brake circuit. 。

[0067] The current sensor connected to the backup power supply is used to collect the current when the backup power supply is charging or discharging; the current sensor connected to the high-voltage brake circuit is used to collect the current when the high-voltage brake circuit is running.

[0068] The aforementioned functional board also includes a second auxiliary power supply circuit 62. This second auxiliary power supply circuit is connected to the control board and is used to obtain DC power from the control board and provide power to the devices in the functional board. The DC power can be a 24V DC power supply, and specifically, the second auxiliary power supply circuit can supply power to the drive circuit of the switching transistor in the functional board.

[0069] The aforementioned function board also includes: a second signal connector 63; the second signal connector is connected to the control board, and the second signal connector receives control signals from the control board, and the status signals generated by the function board can be sent to the control board through the second signal connector.

[0070] The aforementioned second signal connector is used to forward control signals from the control board to the drive circuits corresponding to the switching transistors in the function board, thereby controlling the switching transistors in the function board to turn on or off. The second signal connector also forwards status signals generated by the function board to the control board.

[0071] The second signal connector can specifically be a communication interface. The aforementioned control signal can specifically be a PWM wave signal.

[0072] The aforementioned functional board can generate status signals such as temperature signals and drive fault signals for the switching transistor; the temperature signal can be generated by a temperature sensor installed on the switching transistor; the current signal generated by the current sensor is also transmitted to the second signal connector; the second signal connector forwards these status signals to the control board.

[0073] like Figure 7 The aforementioned heat sink also includes a reverse protection diode 70, which serves as a backup power supply. This reverse protection diode is fixed to the heat sink, which provides heat dissipation for it.

[0074] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a circuit topology for a pitch motor drive unit is shown. This topology includes a grid-side power board and a machine-side power board. The input terminals of the grid-side power board include contactors and an EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter; the EMI filter is connected to the grid-side power board, and the contactor can specifically be an AC contactor. A bus capacitor is provided between the grid-side power board and the machine-side power board. The machine-side power board is connected to the pitch motor M.

[0075] This circuit topology uses the body diode of the IGBT for rectification. It cannot be turned off or soft-started, so an AC contactor control switch is required at the input. In addition, the circuit also includes a soft-start circuit, which disconnects after the soft start is completed.

[0076] In another implementation, the aforementioned grid-side power boards include multiple boards connected in parallel; these boards are distributed across different areas of the heat sink. By connecting multiple grid-side power boards in parallel, the processing power of the grid-side power conversion circuit can be increased; each grid-side power board is laid close to the heat sink to ensure timely heat dissipation for each board.

[0077] The aforementioned machine-side power boards include multiple boards; these multiple machine-side power boards are arranged in parallel; and they are distributed in different areas of the heat sink. By arranging multiple machine-side power boards in parallel, the processing power of the machine-side power conversion circuit can be increased; each machine-side power board is laid close to the heat sink to ensure timely heat dissipation for each board.

[0078] It should be noted that the number of grid-side power boards can be flexibly adjusted according to power requirements, and the number of machine-side power boards can also be flexibly adjusted according to power requirements. The number of grid-side power boards and machine-side power boards do not affect each other.

[0079] Figure 9 In the example, considering that the machine-side current is much greater than the grid-side current, there are two grid-side power boards and three machine-side power boards. The five power boards are distributed on the heat sink, which also contains functional boards and backup power supply anti-reverse diodes.

[0091] The control board can also send control signals to the grid-side power board and the machine-side power board, and receive status signals sent by the grid-side power board and the machine-side power board.

[0092] See Figure 12 The pitch motor drive unit comprises multiple circuit boards.
