Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine generator installation equipment, and in particular to the technical field of large bearing hoisting. Background Technology
[0002] The main shaft system of a doubly-fed wind turbine generator primarily uses double-row spherical roller bearings with lubrication grooves on the outer ring and three lubrication holes. The traditional assembly method involves heating the bearing using a vertical induction heater and then hoisting it using a specialized annular bearing clamp. The bearing clamp is installed on the outer ring of the bearing, and tightening bolts secures the clamp to the bearing. This hoisting method has the following disadvantages: 1. The clamps are expensive, requiring multiple clamp models for different bearing sizes, resulting in high costs. 2. The clamp has numerous bolt connections, leading to low installation efficiency. 3. Pre-tightening the clamp by tightening bolts can cause partial slippage or even the bearing to fall, posing a safety hazard. 4. The annular clamp hoisting points lack height adjustment capabilities; if the lifting chain or slings lack length adjustment tools, it is difficult to control the bearing's level during hoisting. Other methods use caliper-type or hook-type lifting devices for hoisting. However, these methods occupy space because the calipers or hooks grip the bottom of the bearing's outer ring, preventing the bearing from being lowered into the main shaft bearing position in one go due to the bottom retaining ring or cover plate. Furthermore, the calipers or hooks are difficult to disassemble. Therefore, it is necessary to design a low-cost, easy-to-operate, and safe wind turbine main shaft bearing hoisting device to improve the installation efficiency of wind turbine main shaft bearings. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a wind turbine main shaft bearing hoisting device. This device is low in cost, easy to operate, and safe, and can improve the installation efficiency of wind turbine main shaft bearings.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a wind turbine main shaft bearing hoisting device, characterized in that it includes a support block, the support block is provided with a threaded hole, the stud pin and the support stud are connected to the support block through the threaded hole, the pressure block is provided with an elongated hole and a threaded hole, the pressure block is placed in the middle position of the support stud and then fixed by upper and lower large cap locking nuts, the clamping bolt is connected to the pressure block and then placed between two rollers on the upper row of the bearing, the rotating lifting ring is placed at the upper end of the support stud, and the height of the rotating lifting ring is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting nut.
[0005] When using the device described above, the tooling is first pre-assembled together. The stud pin is inserted into the lubrication hole of the double-row spherical roller bearing, and the stud pin is rotated to insert it to a certain depth. Then, the pressure block is placed on the upper end face of the bearing, the upper and lower large cap locking nuts are adjusted, and the pressure block is tightened. At the same time, the clamping bolts of the pressure block are connected and placed between the two rollers inside the bearing to clamp the edge of the outer ring of the bearing. When lifting, the height of the lifting ring is adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut to make the height of the three lifting chains consistent. With the help of a level, the bearing is ensured to be level during the lifting process.
[0006] Preferably, the stud pin is made of high-strength stainless steel and has no threads on one end, making it easy to insert into the bearing lubrication hole.
[0007] Preferably, the pressure block is provided with an elongated hole, and the position of the pressure block on the support stud can be adjusted up and down and back and forth, and it is fixed by the upper and lower large cap locking nuts.

[0009] The hoisting device is adapted to double-row spherical roller bearings with lubrication grooves and three lubrication holes on the outer ring of the wind turbine main shaft. For bearings of the same type but different sizes, no structural design changes are required; only the dimensions of relevant parts need to be changed.
[0010] The hoisting device has a simple structure, is highly practical, has a low cost, is easy to operate, and is safe, which can improve the installation efficiency of wind turbine main shaft bearings. Attached Figure Description
