[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] A suspension fixture for replacing the yaw gearbox of a wind turbine generator set includes a lifting device 1 and a support frame 2. The bottom of the support frame 2 is threadedly connected to a connecting base 3, and the lifting device 1 is installed inside the support frame 2.

[0029] The lifting device 1 includes a variable frequency motor 11, an adjusting screw 12, a suspension assembly 13, and a limiting plate 14. The variable frequency motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the adjusting screw 12. The variable frequency motor 11 is installed on the top surface of the support frame 2. The adjusting screw 12 is installed inside the support frame 2. The connecting base 3 is installed at the bottom of the adjusting screw 12. The support frame 2 and the connecting base 3 can determine the position of the variable frequency motor 11 and the adjusting screw 12. The suspension assembly 13 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 12. The limiting plate 14 is threadedly connected to the left side of the suspension assembly 13.

[0030] The suspension assembly 13 includes a sliding unit and an adjustment unit, which are arranged from left to right.

[0031] The adjustment unit includes an adjusting threaded sleeve 134. A threaded rod 135 is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the adjusting threaded sleeve 134. An adjusting threaded sleeve 136 is threadedly connected to the left side of the adjusting threaded sleeve 134. The adjusting threaded sleeve 136 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 12, and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 12. The adjusting screw 12 allows the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 to move up and down, enabling suspension operations on the yaw gearbox of the wind turbine generator at different positions. A metal plate 131 is connected to the right side surface of the adjusting threaded sleeve 134. A hook 133 is fixedly connected to the surface of the metal plate 131, which is movably connected to the surface of the threaded rod 135. The threaded rod 135 and the nut can lock and fix the metal plate 131 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134, making it convenient to disassemble and replace the metal plate 131 and the hook 133, and protecting the safety of the metal plate 131 and the hook 133. A protrusion 132 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the metal plate 131, and a groove is opened on the right side of the adjusting threaded sleeve 134. The groove fits into the surface of the protrusion 132, and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 and the protrusion 132 are inserted and fixed, which can determine the position of the metal plate 131 and the hook 133.

[0032] The sliding unit includes a plug-in plate 137, on the left side of which is threadedly connected to an adjusting threaded sleeve 136. Bolts can lock the plug-in plate 137 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 together, allowing the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 to be disengaged from the plug-in plate 137 for easy removal and replacement. A threaded rod 139 is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the plug-in plate 137, and a movable roller 138 is movably connected to the surface of the threaded rod 139. The movable roller 138 is fixedly connected to a support. The inner wall of the frame 2 has a plug-in plate 137 that is slidably connected to the surface of the support frame 2.

[0033] When in use, rotate the bolt, and the bolt will disengage from the plug plate 137 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 136. At this time, pull the plug plate 137 downward and slide the plug plate 137 on the surface of the support frame 2, so that the plug plate 137 can disengage from the adjusting threaded sleeve 136.

[0034] Rotating the bolt disengages the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134, causing them to separate from the adjusting screw 12. This allows the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 to be disassembled for maintenance, thus extending their service life.

[0035] Rotate the nut, and the nut will rotate on the surface of the threaded rod 135, causing the connection between the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 and the metal plate 131 to loosen.

[0036] Pulling the hook 133 to the right moves the hook 133 to the right, which in turn moves the metal plate 131 to the right. The metal plate 131 then moves the protrusion 132 to the right, causing the protrusion 132 to disengage from the right groove of the adjusting threaded sleeve 134. This allows the hook 133 and the metal plate 131 to be disassembled and replaced, and hooks 133 of different specifications can be reinstalled.

[0037] When the variable frequency motor 11 is started, the rotor of the variable frequency motor 11 drives the adjusting screw 12 to rotate. The adjusting screw 12 can drive the adjusting threaded sleeve 134 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 to move upward. When the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 moves upward, it can drive the plug plate 137 to move upward.

[0038] The plug plate 137 drives the movable roller 138 to move upward through the threaded rod 139. The movable roller 138 moves upward on the inner wall surface of the support frame 2, allowing the threaded rod 139 to move upward with the limiting plate 14. The plug plate 137 and the adjusting threaded sleeve 136 slide on the surface of the support frame 2, which can adjust the position of the hook 133.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
