The heat sink component and the heating component correspond to the different needs of the gearbox 4 at different temperatures.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a low-temperature resistant wind turbine generator set. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the auxiliary components. The auxiliary components also include a fixed base 18, a support base 19, a temperature sensor 20, and a counterweight 21. Two fixed bases 18 are arranged in parallel, and the fixed bases 18 are rotatably connected to the bearings at both ends of the lead screw 7. Two support bases 19 are arranged in parallel, and the support bases 19 are connected to both ends of the guide rod 8. The temperature sensor 20 is connected to the housing 2.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the heat sink 10 is composed of a first arc-shaped plate 22 and heat sink fins 23. The first arc-shaped plate 22 is connected to the movable base 6, and a plurality of heat sink fins 23 are connected to the first arc-shaped plate 22.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the first connector 13 and the second connector 17 have the same structure. The first connector 13 includes a horizontal plate 24 and a vertical plate 25. The two horizontal plates 24 are arranged in parallel, and the two ends of the two vertical plates 25 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the two horizontal plates 24 respectively. Any one of the horizontal plates 24 is connected to the heating plate 14 or the heat dissipation plate 10, and the other horizontal plate 24 is connected to the first heat spreader 12 or the second heat spreader 16.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, both the first heat spreader 12 and the second heat spreader 16 are connected to a guide plate 26 on the side near the gearbox 4; the guide plate 26 is arc-shaped to facilitate the contact and compression of the first connector 13 and the second connector 17 between the first heat spreader 12 and the second heat spreader 16 and the gearbox 4.

[0031] In summary, when this utility model is in use, the main shaft 3 rotates under the drive of the fan blades. This rotation drives the gearbox 4 (i.e., the transmission) to input rotational power into the generator body 5 for power generation. During winter and summer weather conditions, the temperature sensor 20 installed inside the housing 2 detects the temperature inside the housing 2. When the set maximum and minimum temperatures are reached, a signal is sent to the controller. The controller then activates the drive unit 9, causing the two moving seats 6 to move horizontally along the lead screw 7 and guide rod 8. This movement causes the heating and cooling components to move. In summer, the first connecting member 13 in the cooling component approaches the gear. The gearbox 4 is guided by a guide plate 26 at one end, so that the first heat spreader 12 contacts the outer wall of the gearbox 4 and conducts heat through the first thermal bridge 11 to the first arc plate 22 and the heat dissipation fins 23. This increases the contact area with the air and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the gearbox 4. In winter, in the heating assembly, the second heat spreader 16 on the second connector 17 is guided by the guide plate 26 to contact the outer wall of the gearbox 4. The PTC ceramic heating element 30 is heated and the heat is transferred to the second heat spreader 16 through the second thermal bridge 15. The heat is conducted through the components to heat the gearbox 4 and prevent the lubricating grease inside the gearbox 4 from freezing and affecting its normal operation.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
