Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power bearing technology, specifically a multi-lip steel wire sealing structure for wind power bearings that is resistant to sand and dust erosion. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power, as a clean energy source, is increasingly widely used in the energy sector. Wind turbine bearings, as key components of wind turbine generators, directly affect the overall performance and lifespan of the generator set due to their operational stability and reliability. In areas with high wind and sand intensity, dust particles can easily penetrate the interior of wind turbine bearings, leading to wear, lubrication failure, and ultimately bearing malfunction. This increases maintenance costs and can even cause the wind turbine generator to shut down, affecting power generation efficiency. Bearings with built-in sealing devices can be pre-filled with appropriate grease according to their operating conditions to enhance functionality and extend service life. In existing bearings, the sealing ring is generally fixed within a sealing groove on the outer ring of the bearing.

[0003] The existing multi-lip non-contact bearing seal structure (CN200720046438.9) has the significant advantages of good sealing effect and low frictional torque, which fully meets the design requirements under the working condition of 20,000 rpm. However, it has shortcomings: the existing equipment has a single sealing structure, poor anti-dust erosion effect, poor structural stability, and cannot be independently disassembled and replaced. Therefore, a multi-lip steel wire seal structure for wind turbine bearings that is resistant to dust erosion is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-lip steel wire seal structure for wind turbine bearings that is resistant to sand and dust erosion, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the single sealing structure of the bearing seal structure, poor sand and dust erosion prevention effect, poor structural stability, and inability to be independently disassembled and replaced.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-lip steel wire sealing structure for wind turbine bearings to prevent sand and dust erosion, comprising an outer ring, an inner ring installed on the inner wall of the outer ring, and a ball bearing slidably installed between the outer ring and the inner ring.

A threaded mounting groove is provided on the inner side of the side sealing plate, and a fixing plate is inserted into the inner wall of the threaded mounting groove. A sealing lip is vertically fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing plate, and a reinforcing steel wire is embedded in the inner wall of the sealing lip. A pad is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing lip. Threaded rod grooves are provided on the inner and outer sides of the support ring. Fixing bolts are inserted through the inner walls of the side sealing plate, the fixing plate, and the threaded rod grooves.

[0006] Preferably, the outer ring and inner ring are made of copper alloy, and the outer ring and inner ring are slidably installed in a supporting manner with the ball bearings through a supporting ring.

[0007] Preferably, the shape of the side sealing plate matches the shape of the outer ring and the inner ring, and the side sealing plate is installed in a snap-fit ​​and sealed manner with the outer ring and the inner ring in the dustproof groove by means of a dustproof protrusion.

[0008] Preferably, the side sealing plate is bolted to the support ring in the threaded groove by fixing bolts, and the side sealing plate is fitted and sealed to the side sealing plate by sealing lips, and the sealing lips are distributed in four layers on the side sealing plate.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-lip steel wire seal structure for wind turbine bearings to prevent sand and dust erosion, including an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, balls 3, a support ring 4, a side sealing plate 5, a dustproof boss 6, a dustproof groove 7, a fixing plate 8, a threaded mounting groove 9, a sealing lip 10, a pad 11, a reinforcing steel wire 12, a threaded rod groove 13, and a fixing bolt 14. The inner ring 2 is installed on the inner wall of the outer ring 1, and the balls 3 are slidably installed between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 are made of copper alloy, and the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 are slidably installed with the balls 3 through the support ring 4. This makes the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 effectively wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can effectively conduct heat and dissipate heat, resulting in excellent performance.

[0020] Dustproof grooves 7 are provided on the inner side of the outer ring 1 and the outer side of the inner ring 2. A side sealing plate 5 is installed between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The shape of the side sealing plate 5 matches the shape of the interval between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The side sealing plate 5 is installed in a snap-fit ​​seal with the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 in the dustproof groove 7 through the dustproof protrusion 6. This makes it easy to snap-fit ​​and seal the side sealing plate 5 and to position it for easy installation.

[0021] The side sealing plate 5 is bolted to the support ring 4 in the threaded groove 13 by fixing bolts 14. The side sealing plate 5 is also installed in close contact with the sealing lip 10. The sealing lip 10 is distributed in four layers on the side sealing plate 5. This allows the side sealing plate 5 to be further sealed by the sealing lip 10 and can be bolted. The installation is stable and easy to disassemble.

[0022] The outer wall of the ball bearing 3 is fitted with a support ring 4. The inner and outer edges of the side sealing plate 5 are fixedly connected with dustproof bosses 6, which are fastened to dustproof grooves 7. The inner side of the side sealing plate 5 is provided with a threaded mounting groove 9, and a fixing plate 8 is inserted into the inner wall of the threaded mounting groove 9. A sealing lip 10 is vertically fixed to the inner side of the fixing plate 8, and a reinforcing steel wire 12 is embedded in the inner wall of the sealing lip 10. The sealing lip 10 is made of nitrile rubber. The pad 11 is distributed with a rubber serrated structure at one end of the sealing lip 10. The reinforcing steel wire 12 is made of stainless steel wire. This structure strengthens the sealing lip 10 and the reinforcing steel wire 12, resulting in better performance.

[0023] The sealing lip 10 is installed in a spiral splice with the side sealing plate 5 in the threaded mounting groove 9 through the fixing plate 8. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the sealing lip 10 independently. One end of the sealing lip 10 is fixedly connected to a pad 11. The inner and outer sides of the support ring 4 are provided with threaded rod grooves 13. The inner walls of the side sealing plate 5, the fixing plate 8 and the threaded rod grooves 13 are fitted with fixing bolts 14.

[0024] Working principle: When using this multi-lip steel wire seal structure for wind turbine bearings that is resistant to sand and dust erosion, the device is first assembled and installed. Then, the side sealing plate 5 and the sealing lip 10 are fastened to the outer ring 1 and inner ring 2 through the dustproof boss 6 and dustproof fastening groove 7. Next, they are fixed to the support ring 4 through the threaded rod groove 13 and fixing bolt 14. Then, they are installed and used. During use, two sets of sealing treatments can be performed through the dustproof boss 6, dustproof fastening groove 7 and sealing lip 10. The sealing lip 10 is reinforced by the reinforcing steel wire 12. When the sealing lip 10 is damaged, it can be independently disassembled and replaced by screwing on the fixing plate 8 and threaded mounting groove 9. This is the usage process of this multi-lip steel wire seal structure for wind turbine bearings that is resistant to sand and dust erosion.
