Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote power supply start-stop control technology, and in particular to a remote start-stop control device for UPS power supply in offshore wind farms. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore wind farms, as a crucial component of clean energy, directly impact grid security and power generation efficiency through their operational stability. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems, serving as vital power backup devices for wind power control and communication systems, are typically installed in wind turbine towers, step-up platforms, or offshore substations. To enable unattended remote operation, UPS power control devices generally integrate remote start / stop control modules, ensuring timely power switching in the event of wind power system fluctuations or power anomalies, thus guaranteeing stable system operation.
[0003] However, most existing UPS remote start / stop control devices adopt a fixed installation structure, that is, the control equipment is directly installed on a rigid bracket or platform. The position and attitude of the equipment in space remain constant, lacking the ability to adaptively adjust to changes in the external environment. In actual applications in offshore wind farms, due to the open sea area, strong wind intensity and frequent changes in wind direction, the surface of the device is often subjected to wind pressure impacts from different directions. Especially in the environment of typhoons, strong convective weather or long-term operation in high wind areas, this rigid fixed structure cannot effectively disperse or buffer external forces. When strong winds are blowing, the impact force acts directly on the control console body and its supporting structure, which can easily cause problems such as loosening of equipment connections, fatigue cracking of fasteners, displacement or detachment of internal electrical components. At the same time, due to long-term exposure to wind vibration excitation, it may also cause micro-cracks or resonance phenomena in the control device shell, which in turn affects the stability of internal circuit boards and communication interfaces. In the absence of buffer and vibration reduction structures, once structural damage or control failure occurs, it will directly affect the start / stop operation of the UPS system, thereby threatening the power supply reliability and operational safety of the entire wind farm. Therefore, this utility model proposes a remote start / stop control device for offshore wind farm UPS power supply to meet the needs of improving the device's wind resistance and safety in complex offshore environments. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a remote start-stop control device for UPS power supply in offshore wind farms, so as to solve the problem that long-term exposure to wind vibration excitation causes micro-cracks or resonance in the housing of the control device, which in turn affects the stability of the internal circuit board and communication interface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a remote start / stop control device for a UPS power supply in an offshore wind farm, comprising a support leg, a mounting frame on the top of the support leg, a mounting shell on the mounting frame, a rotating rod extending through the mounting shell and also through the mounting frame, a deflection frame on the rotating rod, and a control console on the deflection frame. The control console is used for remotely controlling the UPS power supply to start and stop. A buffer component is provided on one side of the deflection frame to reduce the direct impact of wind on the control console.
[0006] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a connecting rod disposed on one side of the deflection frame, a first guide rod disposed on the connecting rod, the first guide rod being a telescopic structure, a movable rod disposed at one end of the first guide rod, an adjusting knob threaded onto the first guide rod, a first telescopic spring sleeved on the first guide rod, one end of the first telescopic spring being disposed on the movable rod, and the other end of the first telescopic spring being disposed on one side of the adjusting knob.
[0007] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a through-hole sliding groove, and the moving rod is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.
[0008] Preferably, a contact plate is provided on the inner wall of the deflection frame, and both ends of the contact plate are bent to one side, with the bending directions of the two ends of the contact plate being opposite.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting plate, and a second guide rod is provided on one side of the mounting plate. The second guide rod is a telescopic structure, and a contact plate is provided at one end of the second guide rod. A second telescopic spring is sleeved on the second guide rod, with one end of the second telescopic spring located on one side of the contact plate and the other end of the second telescopic spring located on one side of the mounting plate.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the first guide rod can contact the contact plate, and a rubber pad is provided at the connection between the first guide rod and the moving rod.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This offshore wind farm UPS power remote start / stop control device uses a mounting frame supported by support legs. A mounting shell is installed on the mounting frame, and a rotating rod runs through the shell. The rotating rod passes through the mounting frame and can rotate relative to it. A deflection frame is mounted on the rotating rod, and the control console is mounted on the deflection frame. The control console rotates around the rotating rod along with the deflection frame. By using a rotatable deflection frame, the control console automatically deflects in the opposite direction under strong winds, converting wind impact into rotational kinetic energy. This effectively reduces the impact force generated by wind pressure directly acting on the control console. Simultaneously, the buffer component limits the deflection range and absorbs the impact at the deflection end, improving the device's wind resistance and stability, and extending the service life of the control console and its internal UPS control equipment. It is particularly suitable for offshore wind farms with strong winds and complex environments.
[0013] 2. When the deflector reaches its limit under wind force, the moving rod contacts the contact plate and pushes the first guide rod to compress the spring, effectively absorbing the impact force generated by rotation and preventing structural damage to the control console due to sudden stops. Simultaneously, the sliding groove restricts the movement path of the moving rod, making the buffering process more stable. The adjusting knob can adjust the preload of the first telescopic spring to adapt to the buffering requirements under different wind levels. The double-ended reverse bending design of the contact plate enables buffering protection in both directions, improving the overall wind resistance stability and adaptability of the device.
[0014] 3. When the wind causes the deflector to rotate and pushes the first guide rod to contact the contact plate, the second guide rod is compressed accordingly. The second telescopic spring absorbs the remaining kinetic energy, effectively reducing the overall impact. At the same time, the rubber pad improves the flexibility of the contact area, reduces mechanical damage and noise, and enhances the buffering and durability of the structure. The overall structure can achieve multi-level buffering under strong winds, improving the UPS control device's impact resistance and operational reliability in complex marine environments.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a remote start / stop control device for a UPS power supply in an offshore wind farm includes a support leg 1, a mounting frame 2 on the top of the support leg 1, a mounting shell 3 on the mounting frame 2, a rotating rod 4 penetrating through the mounting shell 3 and also penetrating the mounting frame 2, a deflection frame 5 on the rotating rod 4, and a control console 6 on the deflection frame 5. The control console 6 is used to remotely control the UPS power supply to start and stop. A buffer component is provided on one side of the deflection frame 5 to reduce the direct impact of wind on the control console 6.
[0024] The remote start / stop control device for the UPS power supply of this offshore wind farm is supported by a support leg 1 and a mounting frame 2. A mounting shell 3 is installed on the mounting frame 2, and a rotating rod 4 is installed through the mounting shell 3. The rotating rod 4 passes through the mounting frame 2 and can rotate relative to it. A deflection frame 5 is installed on the rotating rod 4, and the control console 6 is set on the deflection frame 5 and can rotate around the rotating rod 4 with the deflection frame 5. By setting the rotatable deflection frame 5, the control console 6 can automatically deflect in the opposite direction under strong winds, thereby converting the wind impact into rotational kinetic energy. This effectively reduces the impact force generated by the wind pressure directly acting on the control console 6. At the same time, the setting of the buffer component limits the deflection range and absorbs the impact at the end of the deflection, improving the wind resistance and stability of the device and extending the service life of the control console 6 and its internal UPS control equipment. It is especially suitable for offshore wind farms with strong winds and complex environments.
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the buffer assembly includes a connecting rod 12 disposed on one side of the deflection frame 5, a first guide rod 9 disposed on the connecting rod 12, the first guide rod 9 being a telescopic structure, a moving rod 8 disposed at one end of the first guide rod 9, an adjusting knob 11 threaded on the first guide rod 9, a first telescopic spring 10 sleeved on the first guide rod 9, one end of the first telescopic spring 10 disposed on the moving rod 8, and the other end of the first telescopic spring 10 disposed on one side of the adjusting knob 11; a sliding groove 7 is provided through the mounting frame 2, and the moving rod 8 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 7; a contact plate 13 is disposed on the inner wall of the deflection frame 5, both ends of the contact plate 13 being bent to one side, with the two ends of the contact plate 13 bending in opposite directions;
[0026] When the deflector 5 rotates to its limit under wind force, the moving rod 8 contacts the contact plate 13 and pushes the first guide rod 9 to compress the spring, effectively absorbing the impact force generated by rotation and preventing structural damage to the control console 6 due to sudden stop. At the same time, the sliding groove 7 restricts the movement path of the moving rod 8, making the buffering process more stable. The adjusting knob 11 can adjust the preload of the first telescopic spring 10 to adapt to the buffering requirements under different wind force levels. The double-ended reverse bending design of the contact plate 13 can achieve buffering protection in both directions, improving the overall wind resistance stability and adaptability of the device.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a mounting plate 17 is provided inside the mounting bracket 2. A second guide rod 14 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 17. The second guide rod 14 is a telescopic structure. A contact plate 16 is provided at one end of the second guide rod 14. A second telescopic spring 15 is sleeved on the second guide rod 14. One end of the second telescopic spring 15 is located on one side of the contact plate 16, and the other end of the second telescopic spring 15 is located on one side of the mounting plate 17. One end of the first guide rod 9 can contact the contact plate 16. A rubber pad is provided at the connection between the first guide rod 9 and the moving rod 8.
[0028] When the wind causes the deflector 5 to rotate and push the first guide rod 9 to contact the contact plate 16, the second guide rod 14 is compressed accordingly. The second telescopic spring 15 absorbs the remaining kinetic energy, effectively reducing the overall impact. At the same time, the rubber pad improves the flexibility of the contact area, reduces mechanical damage and noise, and enhances the buffering and durability of the structure. The overall structure can achieve multi-level buffering under strong winds, improving the UPS control device's impact resistance and operational reliability in complex marine environments.
