Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of supports and hangers, and in particular to a wind turbine anti-seismic support and hanger. Background Technology

[0002] When a fan is running, the rotation of the motor and the action of airflow generate continuous, multi-directional vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the supports that fix it in place, causing slight relative displacement or rotation of the fastening nuts on the support bolts. Over time, the nuts will gradually loosen, and the preload will decrease.

[0003] If the nuts become loose, it will lead to a series of serious consequences: 1) The fan itself will be unstable, the vibration will intensify, forming a vicious cycle and accelerating the damage to components such as bearings; 2) Abnormal noise will be generated; 3) In extreme cases, the equipment may fall off, causing a safety accident.

[0015] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0016] Embodiment 1 of this invention Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model discloses a fan seismic support bracket, including a base 1 connected to the building structure, load-bearing screws 2, upper nuts 3, lower nuts 4, and a support plate 5. A fan 51 is welded and fixed to the support plate 5. The four load-bearing screws 2 pass through the four corners of the support plate 5. Each load-bearing screw 2 corresponds to one upper nut 3 and one lower nut 4. The upper nut 3 is located above the support plate 5, and the lower nut 4 is located below the support plate 5. Anti-loosening components 6 are provided between the upper nut 3 and the support plate 5, and between the lower nut 4 and the support plate 5.

[0017] The following description uses the anti-loosening component 6 between the nut 3 and the support plate 5 as an example. The anti-loosening component 6 includes an anti-loosening sleeve 61 and a wedge nut 62. The wedge nut 62 is threadedly connected to the load-bearing screw 2, and the end of the wedge nut 62 with the larger cross-sectional area faces the support plate 5. The wedge nut 62 has multiple contraction grooves 621 along its axial direction.

[0018] The anti-loosening sleeve 61 has a conical hole 611 inside, which is inserted into the conical head of the wedge nut 62. The conical hole 611 matches the conical surface of the wedge nut 62. A vibration isolation pad 52 is provided between the bottom of the wedge nut 62 and the support plate 5. The vibration isolation pad 52 has an opening for the load-bearing screw 2 to pass through. The diameter of the opening is larger than the diameter of the load-bearing screw 2. The bottom of the wedge nut 62 contacts the vibration isolation pad 52. The upper nut 3 is located above the anti-loosening sleeve 61. After tightening the upper nut 3, the anti-loosening sleeve 61 is pressed down. The conical hole 611 of the anti-loosening sleeve 61 slides downward along the conical head of the wedge nut 62. Due to the action of the conical surface, the downward movement is converted into horizontal compression. The contraction groove 621 of the wedge nut 62 is forced to narrow. The internal thread of the wedge nut 62 and the external thread of the load-bearing screw 2 are completely pressed together, achieving ultra-high strength locking.

[0019] The end face of the wedge nut 62 near the upper nut 3 is a first annular plane 622, on which multiple radially distributed serrated grooves 623 are machined. A second annular plane 612 is provided on the inner wall of the tapered hole 611, on which multiple radially distributed serrated teeth 613 are machined, engaging with the serrated grooves 623. When the upper nut 3 is tightened, the first annular plane 622 contacts and is pressed against the second annular plane 612, and the serrated teeth 613 engage with the serrated grooves 623, forming a mechanical interlock to prevent relative rotation between the wedge nut 62 and the anti-loosening sleeve 61.

[0020] The anti-loosening sleeve 61 has a hexagonal prism shape, making it easy to fix with a wrench and preventing it from rotating with the upper nut 3 when tightening. Two insert rods 7 are fixed to the bottom of the anti-loosening sleeve 61. Insertion holes 71 are provided on both the support plate 5 and the vibration damping pad 52, and the insert rods 7 are inserted into the insertion holes 71. When the anti-loosening sleeve 61 is placed on the load-bearing screw 2, the insert rods 7 are aligned with the insertion holes 71. After rotating the upper nut 3, the insert rods 7 begin to insert into the insertion holes 71, preventing the anti-loosening sleeve 61 from rotating.

[0021] The implementation principle of this utility model for a wind turbine anti-seismic support is as follows: During installation, first tighten the upper nut 3 and lower nut 4 with a wrench. The upper nut 3 and lower nut 4 press against the corresponding anti-loosening sleeve 61. The tapered hole 611 of the anti-loosening sleeve 61 acts on the tapered head of the wedge nut 62. Under the action of the tapered surface, the thread of the wedge nut 62 is forced to tightly bite the thread of the load-bearing bolt, achieving extremely high locking force. Vibration not only fails to loosen it, but also makes the engagement even tighter.

[0022] When the upper nut 3 is tightened, it presses downward against the wedge-shaped self-locking anti-loosening sleeve 61. The tapered hole 611 of the sleeve forces the tapered head of the wedge-shaped nut 62 to retract inward. A huge static friction force is generated between the thread of the wedge-shaped nut 62 and the thread of the load-bearing screw 2, completely locking the relative movement between the threaded pairs. A conical self-locking is formed between the tapered head of the wedge-shaped nut 62 and the tapered hole 611 of the anti-loosening sleeve 61, and any force attempting to loosen the nut will be converted into a greater locking force.

[0023] Embodiment 2 of this utility model Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the support plate 5 in Embodiment 2 is provided with a positioning rod 8, and each anti-loosening sleeve 61 is provided with a positioning rod 8 on both sides. A first mounting block 9 is fixed on the outer wall of the anti-loosening sleeve 61. Each positioning rod 8 corresponds to a first mounting block 9. The first mounting block 9 is provided with a mounting groove 91. The positioning rod 8 passes through the mounting groove 91, thereby limiting the left and right positions of the anti-loosening sleeve 61 and preventing the anti-loosening sleeve 61 from rotating.

[0024] When installing the support plate 5 and the fan 51, first place the upper nut 3 and the corresponding anti-loosening sleeve 61, wedge nut 62, and vibration isolation pad 52 onto the load-bearing nut. Then place the support plate 5 onto the load-bearing screw 2, followed by the upper and lower nuts 4 and the corresponding anti-loosening sleeve 61, wedge nut 62, and vibration isolation pad 52. When placing the support plate 5 onto the load-bearing screw 2, the positioning rod 8 passes through the mounting groove 91, thereby positioning the anti-loosening sleeve 61 and preventing it from rotating. When the upper nut 3 is tightened, the insertion rod 7 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole 71, and the serration 613 can be smoothly inserted into the serrated groove 623.

[0025] The second mounting block 92 is located on the side of the first mounting block 9 away from the second mounting block 92. One end of the second mounting block 92 is hinged to the side wall of the first mounting block 9, and the other end of the second mounting block 92 is provided with a locking bolt 93. The locking bolt 93 passes through the second mounting block 92 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting block 9. A sleeve 94 is fixed on the second mounting block 92. A spring 96 and a plug-in block 95 are provided inside the sleeve 94. One end of the plug-in block 95 is a pointed tip. A plug-in groove 81 is opened on the side wall of the positioning rod 8, and the pointed tip of the plug-in block 95 is inserted into the plug-in groove 81. The spring 96 is fixed between the second mounting block 92 and the plug-in block 95, and the plug-in block 95 is slidably connected to the sleeve 94.

[0026] After tightening the upper nut 3, the height of the plug block 95 is equal to the height of the plug groove 81. Rotate the second mounting block 92 to insert the plug block 95 into the plug groove 81, thereby limiting the height of the plug block 95 and thus limiting the height of the anti-loosening sleeve 61, increasing the stability of the anti-loosening sleeve 61.

[0027] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
