[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The wind turbine main shaft end cover disassembly and assembly device shown includes a fixed frame 1. A motor 2 is installed on the outside of the fixed frame 1. The drive shaft of the motor 2 passes through the side wall of the fixed frame 1 and is welded to a reciprocating screw 3. A screw nut 4 is connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 3. The screw nut 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of a movable frame 5. A motor 9 is installed on the outside of the movable frame 5. The drive shaft of the motor 9 passes through the movable frame 5 and is welded to a bidirectional rotary screw 10. Two sets of screw nuts 11 are connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional rotary screw 10. The two sets of screw nuts 11 are fixedly connected to the inside of two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12. Three sets of connecting columns 14 are welded to the sides of the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12. The other ends of the three sets of connecting columns 14 are welded to the side of an arc-shaped clamp 15. There are two sets of arc-shaped clamps 15. An end cover body 17 is provided between the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 15.

[0031] Among them, motor 2 is used to drive the reciprocating screw 3 to rotate, and the reciprocating screw 3 is used to drive the movable frame 5 where the screw nut 4 is located to move horizontally. The movable frame 5 is used to install the automatic clamping component. Motor 9 is used to drive the bidirectional rotary screw 10 to rotate. When the bidirectional rotary screw 10 rotates, it drives the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 where the two sets of screw nuts 11 are located to move in opposite directions. The T-shaped movable blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 through three sets of connecting columns 14. This allows the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 to drive the two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 to move in opposite directions. When the two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 move in opposite directions, they can clamp and fix the end cap body 17 with different diameter sizes, thereby increasing the specification range of the disassembled end cap body 17.

[0032] The movable frame 5 has two sets of inner holes, and each set of inner holes is slidably connected to a guide post 6. The two sets of guide posts 6 are welded together to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1.

[0033] Among them, the two sets of guide posts 6 are used to guide the movement of the movable frame 5 and prevent the movable frame 5 from deviating.

[0034] Two sets of bearings 7 are fixedly connected to the two inner side walls of the movable frame 5, and a movable shaft 8 is connected between the two sets of bearings 7. There are two sets of movable shafts 8, and the two sets of movable shafts 8 are symmetrically distributed inside the movable frame 5.

[0035] The two sets of bearings 7 allow the movable shafts 8 to rotate inside them. When the movable frame 5 moves, the two sets of movable shafts 8 contact the top of the fixed frame 1 and rotate, thus reducing the resistance encountered by the movable frame 5 when it moves.

[0036] The two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 each have two sets of inner holes, and each set of inner holes is slidably connected to a guide post 13. The two sets of guide posts 13 are welded together to the inner wall of the movable frame 5.

[0037] Among them, the two sets of guide posts 13 are used to guide the movement of the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 and prevent the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 from deviating when they move.

[0038] Two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 have arc-shaped rubber pads 16 fixedly connected to their inner sides, and the arc-shaped rubber pads 16 are made of rubber.

[0039] The arc-shaped rubber pad 16 is designed to increase friction, so that the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 15 will not slip when clamping the end cap body 17.

[0040] The end cover body 17 is internally slidably connected to the unit's rotating main shaft 18, which is connected to the main shaft box 19.

[0041] The unit's rotating main shaft 18 is used to drive the components of the wind turbine to rotate, and the main shaft box 19 is used to install the unit's rotating main shaft 18.

[0042] The bottom of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected with four sets of square support blocks 20. Each set of square support blocks 20 has a mounting hole 21 on its side. A compression spring 22 is fixedly connected inside the mounting hole 21. A limit buckle 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the compression spring 22.

[0043] Among them, four sets of square support blocks 20 are used to support the fixed frame 1, and the mounting holes 21 are used to install the compression spring 22. The compression spring 22 is fixedly connected to the limit buckle 23. When the compression spring 22 is deformed and reset, the limit buckle 23 can perform telescopic movement, thereby limiting the buckle to the card hole 25 at different heights.

[0044] A square frame 24 is slidably connected to the outside of the square support block 20. Multiple sets of locking holes 25 are opened on the side of the square frame 24. The locking holes 25 are slidably connected to the limit buckle 23. An inner groove is opened at the bottom of the square frame 24. A moving wheel 26 is installed inside the inner groove. A brake plate 27 is provided on one side of the moving wheel 26.

[0045] The locking hole 25 is used to engage the limiting buckle 23, which can adjust the height of the square support block 20, thereby adjusting the height of the fixed frame 1. The four sets of moving wheels 26 drive the entire device to move, and the brake plate 27 is used to stop the moving wheels 26, so that the entire device can work stably when stationary.

[0046] Working principle: When using this wind turbine main shaft end cover disassembly and assembly device, the height of the four sets of square support blocks 20 is first adjusted by the height adjustment component, so that the end cover body 17 is positioned between the two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15. Then, the motor 2 9 is operated, so that the motor 2 9 drives the bidirectional screw 10 to rotate through the drive shaft. When the bidirectional screw 10 rotates, it drives the two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12, where the two sets of screw nuts 2 11 are located, to move in opposite directions. The two sets of T-shaped movable blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 through three sets of connecting columns 14, so that the two sets of arc-shaped clamping blocks 15 move in opposite directions, thereby clamping and fixing the end cover body 17 with different diameter sizes.

[0047] After the end cover body 17 is fixed, operate motor 2 so that motor 2 drives the reciprocating screw 3 to rotate through the drive shaft. When the reciprocating screw 3 rotates, it drives the movable frame 5 where the screw nut 4 is located to move. This causes the end cover body 17 above the movable frame 5 to move, so that the end cover body 17 can be automatically removed from the main rotating shaft 18 of the unit, thus eliminating the need for manual lifting, reducing the burden of manpower, and improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
