Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind power pitch system control cabinets, and in particular to an integrated control cabinet structure for an offshore wind power pitch system. Background Technology

[0002] The pitch control system of offshore wind turbines controls the speed and power of the wind turbine by adjusting the blade angle. In the industry, three cabinets are commonly used to house electrical components such as control modules, drive modules, and power modules. However, the three-cabinet pitch control system has the following drawbacks: (1) The axle boxes are located on the hub web, which requires more consideration for installation and maintenance; (2) Wiring and maintenance are inconvenient: the layout of the three cabinets results in wiring connections between the cabinets, which requires wiring between the hubs, which is prone to wear. Moreover, the wiring is distributed on the hub web, which leads to an increase in cables, making fault diagnosis difficult and maintenance inefficient; (3) The cable connections between the three cabinets make offshore wind turbines more susceptible to lightning interference on the vast sea surface. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an integrated control cabinet structure for an offshore wind power pitch system. This structure effectively utilizes cabinet space, is divided by partitions, and allows for accurate positioning during maintenance, reducing operation and maintenance time. Furthermore, the cabinet is installed on the main shaft side, eliminating the need for additional impeller rotation. This allows the impeller to be in a positive Y-position for wiring and routine maintenance, reducing downtime for repairs. It also reduces exposed power and signal cables, preventing interference from cable swinging or wear during operation, and further reduces the risk of lightning strikes to the cabinet.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an integrated control cabinet structure for an offshore wind power pitch system, comprising a cabinet body installed inside the offshore wind power pitch system and close to the main shaft side. The cross-section of the cabinet body is approximately triangular. The cabinet body has multiple partitions inside, and multiple cavities are formed inside the cabinet body through the partitions. Multiple cable trays are provided in the cavities, and control modules, drive modules, and power modules are integrated therein. The control modules, drive modules, and power modules are connected by power cables and signal cables, and the power cables and signal cables are arranged separately in each cable tray.

[0005] Furthermore, the cabinet is equipped with a support beam inside, and the support beam is located near the top of the cabinet.

[0006] Furthermore, a detachable wiring door is provided above the support beam.

[0007] Furthermore, the cabinet frame has a long side and a short side, with the drive module positioned near the long side and the power module positioned near the short side.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0009] 1. This utility model has the advantages of convenient wiring and maintenance: the partitioned cable tray realizes the isolation of power cables and signal cables, reducing signal crosstalk; the detachable wiring door makes the wiring neat and tidy, and the fault point can be quickly located during maintenance, shortening the repair time by more than 50%.

[0010] 2. This utility model can reduce failures: The integrated cabinet design effectively reduces the number of cables between cabinets, avoids signal interference caused by cable swinging or cable wear during operation, and reduces the number of cable connections between cabinets, effectively reducing the risk of the cabinet being struck by lightning.

[0011] 3. This utility model can save costs: while improving reliability, it saves materials and costs. Attached Figure Description
