Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to an adjustable water cooling system voltage stabilizing device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, water-cooled wind turbine generator converter water cooling systems generally use inflatable expansion tanks for pressure stabilization. However, due to the thermal expansion and contraction of gases, the system pressure is greatly affected by temperature, and the generator frequently reports valve pressure failures when there are large temperature differences. Furthermore, because the expansion tank air bladder has a short lifespan, a large number of water-cooling air bladders need to be replaced every 3-5 years, increasing the difficulty and workload of maintenance.
[0003] Regarding maintenance difficulties, one current solution is to install a high-level water tank with a water pipe leading to the water-cooling system, using the liquid level to stabilize the pressure. While this solution addresses the issue of temperature affecting pressure, the water tank cannot be completely sealed, making the coolant susceptible to contamination and deterioration. Another solution is to install a water storage tank behind the water-cooled cabinet. However, this results in lower and non-adjustable outlet valve pressure, requiring modifications to the fan program to ensure proper unit operation, which is more challenging.
[0004] In view of the above, the traditional expansion tank and air bag are abandoned. It is necessary to design an adjustable water cooling system pressure stabilizing device with low temperature influence and long service life. It has the advantages of compact structure, wide system pressure applicable range, and can be installed in place in the fan water cooling cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, based on the above technical solution, the diameter of the piston is equal to the internal diameter of the cylinder, in order to improve the sealing effect.

[0029] Example
[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable water cooling system pressure stabilizing device, which includes a cylinder 1, a piston 2, an elastic element, a bracket assembly, and an adjusting element; wherein, the piston 2, the elastic element, and the bracket assembly are installed inside the cylinder 1, one end of the adjusting element is connected to the bracket assembly, and the other end of the adjusting element extends to the outside of the bottom of the cylinder 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the cylinder body 1 is made of stainless steel, and a flange 10 for connecting the vent valve group of an external wind turbine is provided at the top of the cylinder body 1. The flange 10 and the top of the cylinder body 1 can be connected by an integral molding method.
[0032] In this embodiment, the diameter (maximum) of piston 2 is equal to the inner diameter (inner diameter) of cylinder 1, in order to improve the sealing effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, the upper end face of the piston 2 is directly opposite the constriction of the cylinder 1, and an elastic element is installed on the lower end face of the piston 2. The elastic element is preferably a compression spring 3, and the number of compression springs 3 is preferably 1-4.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the elastic element is connected to the bracket assembly. Specifically, the bracket assembly includes a first bracket 4 and a second bracket 5, which are arranged vertically spaced and parallel to each other. Preferably, both the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 are X-shaped brackets. The first bracket 4 is located above the second bracket 5 and can be adjusted vertically according to actual conditions, while the second bracket 5 is fixedly installed near the bottom of the cylinder 1.
[0035] Furthermore, an adjustment hole 8 is provided on the cylinder body 1. A first bolt 6 is detachably installed in the adjustment hole 8. The first bolt 6 extends into a part of the structure inside the cylinder body 1 and is assembled with one end of the first support 4 located inside the cylinder body 1. By adjusting the different positions of the first bolt 6 on the adjustment hole 8, the position of the first support 4 inside the cylinder body 1 can be adjusted. It should be noted that the shape of the adjustment hole 8 is not limited; at the same time, the number of first bolts 6 is at least one. Preferably, one first bolt 6 can be installed on the top of each of the four X-shaped legs of the first support 4. It is easy to understand that the more first bolts 6 are installed, the more balanced the force on the entire device will be.
[0036] Furthermore, the lower end of the adjusting hole 8 is also provided with a fixing hole, in which a second bolt 7 is detachably installed. This second bolt 7 extends into a portion of the structure inside the cylinder 1 and is assembled with one end of the second bracket 5 located inside the cylinder 1. The second bolt 7 securely connects the second bracket 5 to the cylinder 1. It should be noted that the number of second bolts 7 is at least one. Preferably, the number of second bolts 7 is at least one. Preferably, one second bolt 7 can be installed on the top of each of the four X-shaped legs of the second bracket 5. It is easy to understand that the more second bolts 7 are installed, the more balanced the force on the entire device.
[0037] In this embodiment, an adjusting component is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 1, which is preferably an adjusting screw 9. The first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole at their center positions, and both the first and second mounting holes have threaded structures. The adjusting screw 9 is inserted upwards from the bottom of the cylinder body 1, passes through the second mounting hole, and extends into the first mounting hole, wherein the second mounting hole is a through hole; the connection between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 is achieved through the adjusting screw 9.
[0038] Combination Figure 3 As shown, taking four compression springs 3 as an example, the first bracket 4 is an X-shaped bracket. Each extended side bracket of the X-shaped bracket is equipped with a compression spring 3, that is, the four compression springs 3 are evenly distributed around the center position of the X-shaped bracket, so that the force is more even.
[0039] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0040] When there is no coolant in cylinder 1, the compression spring 3 is in an uncompressed state with zero elasticity. When coolant is added to the water-cooling system, the coolant squeezes the piston 2, compressing the compression spring 3. The elasticity of the compression spring 3 stabilizes the pressure of the device. When the temperature rises, the compression of the compression spring 3 absorbs the expansion energy of the coolant. When the temperature of the water-cooling system decreases and the coolant volume shrinks, the compression spring 3 extends to provide pressure compensation for the device.
[0041] To adapt to the different pressure requirements of different wind turbine units and to compensate for the impact of aging of the spring 3 on the elasticity, the initial position of the spring 3 and piston 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the bottom adjusting screw 9 inside the cylinder 1, with the water level unchanged and the wind turbine unit running continuously, thereby adjusting the system water pressure.
[0042] It should be noted that the relationship between the spring force of compression spring 3 and the pressure of the device can be understood as follows:
[0043] To ensure sufficient buffering capacity of the pressure stabilizing device, the compression of spring 3 should not be too small or too large. Theoretically, when piston 2 has traveled 1 / 2 of its stroke, the device pressure should reach the static outlet valve pressure during normal operation of the unit at room temperature. Assuming the compression distance of spring 3 is L at this point, according to Pascal's principle and Hooke's law, the outlet valve pressure P of the device and the selected spring 3 stiffness coefficient k should satisfy the following:
[0044] In the formula, S is the area of piston 2 in contact with the coolant.
[0045] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model, described in a relatively specific and detailed manner, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
