Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, specifically to a temperature sensor replacement device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of wind power generation globally, the safe operation of wind turbines has become crucial. To ensure the long-term stable operation of the generator set, it is necessary to monitor the generator's operating temperature in real time and coordinate with the cooling system to ensure the generator operates within the permissible temperature range. To monitor generator problems and protect the safe and stable operation of the wind turbine, measures such as installing PT100 (thermal resistance temperature detectors) are typically taken. These temperature sensors monitor the generator's cooling air temperature. As high-precision temperature measurement devices, they can become inaccurate or even malfunction due to factors such as aging or damage during use. Typically, the generator temperature sensor is installed in a very confined space, making it difficult to access for removal with ordinary open-end wrenches, ratchet wrenches, or similar tools. This increases the difficulty of the work and may also increase the risk of equipment damage due to the inconvenience of operation.

[0003] When equipment malfunctions are not repaired in a timely manner, wind turbines cannot operate normally, resulting in prolonged downtime and causing direct economic losses and negative impacts on enterprises. There is an urgent need for a device that allows for convenient operation and replacement of temperature sensors in confined spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a temperature sensor replacement device that is convenient and operable in a confined space.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A temperature sensor replacement device, characterized in that it includes: a main body and a connecting part, one end of the main body is provided with an opening for snapping in a temperature sensor, and the other end of the main body is fixedly provided with a connecting part for cooperating with an auxiliary tool.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a main body with an opening and a connecting part for connecting auxiliary tools, on the one hand, the opening is used to accurately snap the temperature sensor in place, preventing the sensor from slipping off during disassembly and assembly; on the other hand, the connecting part is adapted to the auxiliary tools, solving the problem that ordinary tools cannot be directly inserted into narrow installation spaces, reducing the difficulty of operation, achieving efficient replacement of temperature sensors, and reducing the downtime of fan maintenance.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the sidewall of the opening is provided with a wire receiving groove, which extends along the length direction of the main body.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: by setting a cable tray on the side wall of the opening, the temperature sensor cable can be stored and limited during disassembly and assembly, avoiding damage to the cable due to squeezing, pulling and friction with the side wall of the opening during replacement, ensuring the integrity of the sensor cable, and reducing the additional spare parts replacement cost caused by cable damage.

[0010] Furthermore, a winding device is provided in the middle of the main body.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: setting a winding device in the middle of the main body can orderly wind and store the temperature sensor cable, which is especially suitable for scenarios where the sensor cable is long, preventing the cable from being messy and affecting the operating space, further reducing the risk of cable damage during disassembly and assembly, and improving the ease of operation.

[0012] Furthermore, the winding device is provided with a guide groove, which is spirally arranged along the length direction of the main body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the spiral guide groove on the winding device can limit and guide the wound cable, ensure that the cable is wound neatly and orderly, prevent the cable from falling off the winding device or getting tangled together, improve the stability of cable storage, and facilitate subsequent installation operations.

[0014] Furthermore, the main body is rectangular in shape.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: designing the main body in the shape of a cuboid has the following advantages: Firstly, the cuboid structure has stable stress performance and is not prone to deformation when replaced by applying force with auxiliary tools, thus ensuring the service life of the tooling. Secondly, the regular shape of the cuboid facilitates processing and manufacturing, reduces production difficulty and cost, and makes it convenient for operators to hold and position the tooling.

[0016] Furthermore, the main body is cylindrical in shape.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the main body is designed as a cylinder, and the surface of the cylindrical structure is smooth. When it is inserted into the installation hole of the generator temperature sensor, the frictional resistance with the inner wall of the hole can be reduced, making it easier for the tool to be inserted or removed smoothly, reducing operating resistance. At the same time, the cylindrical structure is evenly stressed, which can better transmit the torque of the auxiliary tool and improve the replacement efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the opening is square, and the side length of the opening is 25mm.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the opening is square with a side length of 25mm, which is precisely matched with the detachable fixed size (25mm×25mm) of the generator temperature sensor, realizing the compatibility between the tooling and the sensor. When rotating and replacing, it can stably drive the sensor to rotate synchronously, avoiding slippage, ensuring the stability of disassembly and assembly operations, and reducing the risk of damage to the sensor or equipment due to improper adaptation.

[0020] Furthermore, the opening extends from one end of the body to the other end.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: reasonably setting the opening depth (the opening depth can match the length of the detachable fixed part of the sensor) can ensure that the main body opening has sufficient locking depth for the sensor, preventing the sensor from falling off the opening when force is applied for replacement, further improving the locking stability, and ensuring the smooth disassembly and assembly operations.

[0022] Furthermore, the length of the main body is 200mm~400mm.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the length range can be adapted to the depth of the generator temperature sensor mounting hole, which can ensure that the main body has enough length to extend into the hole and engage with the sensor, while avoiding the problem that the main body is too long, which would reduce the flexibility of operation, or too short, which would prevent the sensor from being reached. It takes into account both operational flexibility and practicality.

[0024] Furthermore, the connecting part is hexagonal prism-shaped.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the connection part is designed as a hexagonal prism. The hexagonal prism structure is a conventional fit shape for auxiliary tools such as wrenches. It can be efficiently adapted to common ratchet wrenches and ordinary wrenches on the market without the need for additional custom-made auxiliary tools, thus reducing tool adaptation costs. At the same time, the force-bearing surface of the prism connection part is uniform, which can stably transmit the torque of the auxiliary tool and improve the force transmission efficiency during replacement. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the temperature sensor replacement device of this utility model.

[0027] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows: 100. Main body; 110. Opening; 120. Wire receiving groove; 130. Winding device; 131. Guide groove; 200. Connecting part. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a temperature sensor replacement device, including: a main body 100 and a connecting part 200. One end of the main body 100 is provided with an opening 110 for snapping in a temperature sensor. The other end of the main body 100 is fixedly provided with a connecting part 200 for cooperating with an auxiliary tool.

[0030] By setting a main body 100 with an opening 110 and a connecting part 200 for connecting auxiliary tools, the opening 110 is used to accurately snap the temperature sensor in place, preventing the sensor from slipping during disassembly and assembly. On the other hand, the connecting part 200 is used to adapt to auxiliary tools, solving the problem that ordinary tools cannot be directly inserted into narrow installation spaces, reducing the difficulty of operation, achieving efficient replacement of temperature sensors, and reducing fan downtime for maintenance.

[0031] Specifically, the main body 100 is made of high-strength metal material. Because high-strength metal material has the characteristics of wear resistance and deformation resistance, it can withstand the forces generated during disassembly and assembly, thus extending the service life of the main body 100.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the side wall of the opening 110 is provided with a wire receiving groove 120, which extends along the length direction of the main body 100.

[0033] A cable tray 120 is provided on the side wall of the opening 110 to store and limit the temperature sensor cable during disassembly and assembly, preventing damage to the cable due to squeezing, pulling and friction with the side wall of the opening 110 during replacement, ensuring the integrity of the sensor cable and reducing the additional cost of replacing spare parts due to cable damage.

[0034] Based on the above technical solution, a winding device 130 is provided in the middle of the main body 100.

[0035] A winding device 130 is set in the middle of the main body 100, which can orderly wind and store the temperature sensor cable. It is especially suitable for scenarios with long sensor cables, preventing the cable from being messy and affecting the operating space, further reducing the risk of cable damage during disassembly and assembly, and improving the ease of operation.

[0036] Specifically, the length of the wire groove 120 starts from one end of the opening 110 and ends at one end of the winding device 130.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, the winding device 130 is provided with a guide groove 131, which is spirally arranged along the length direction of the main body 100.

[0038] The spiral guide groove 131 on the winding device 130 can limit and guide the wound cable, ensuring that the cable is wound neatly and orderly, preventing the cable from falling off the winding device 130 or getting tangled together, improving the stability of cable storage, and facilitating subsequent installation operations.

[0039] Specifically, the guide groove 131 is a groove arranged in a spiral shape around the main body 100.

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, the main body 100 is in the shape of a cuboid.

[0041] The main body 100 is designed in a cuboid shape. On the one hand, the cuboid structure has stable stress performance and is not easily deformed when replaced by applying force with auxiliary tools, thus ensuring the service life of the tooling. On the other hand, the regular shape of the cuboid is easy to process and manufacture, reducing production difficulty and cost, while also making it convenient for operators to hold and position.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the main body 100 is cylindrical in shape.

[0043] The main body 100 is designed as a cylinder with a smooth surface. When inserted into the generator temperature sensor mounting hole, it reduces the frictional resistance with the inner wall of the hole, making it easier for the tool to be inserted or removed smoothly and reducing operating resistance. At the same time, the cylindrical structure distributes the force evenly, which can better transmit the torque of the auxiliary tool and improve the replacement efficiency.

[0044] Based on the above technical solution, the opening 110 is square and the side length of the opening 110 is 25mm.

[0045] The opening 110 is square with a side length of 25mm, which is precisely matched with the detachable and fixed size (25mm×25mm) of the generator temperature sensor, so as to achieve the compatibility between the tooling and the sensor. During rotation replacement, it can stably drive the sensor to rotate synchronously, avoid slippage, ensure the stability of disassembly and assembly operations, and reduce the risk of damage to the sensor or equipment due to improper adaptation.

[0046] It should be noted that the size of the opening 110 can be adjusted according to the detachable fixing size of the temperature sensor in order to adapt to the temperature sensor.

[0047] Based on the above technical solution, the opening 110 extends from one end of the main body 100 to the other end.

[0048] By reasonably setting the depth of the opening 110 (the depth of the opening 110 can match the length of the detachable fixing part of the sensor), it can be ensured that the opening 110 of the main body 100 has sufficient locking depth for the sensor, preventing the sensor from falling off the opening 110 when force is applied for replacement, further improving the locking stability, and ensuring the smooth disassembly and assembly operations.

[0049] Based on the above technical solution, the length of the main body 100 is 200mm~400mm.

[0050] This length range can be adapted to the depth of the mounting hole for the generator temperature sensor, ensuring that the main body 100 has sufficient length to extend into the hole and engage with the sensor, while avoiding the problem that the main body 100 is too long, which would reduce the flexibility of operation, or too short, which would prevent the sensor from being reached. It balances operational flexibility and practicality.

[0051] In a specific example, the temperature sensor is installed in a hole with a diameter of 40mm and a depth of 100mm. The main body 100 is rectangular in shape and has a length of 300mm. One end of the main body 100 has an opening 110 with a side length of 27mm*27mm. The side length of the square opening 110 is 25mm. The wire groove 120 has a width of 3mm and a length of 150mm. The depth of the opening 110 extends from one end of the main body 100 to the other end.

[0052] Based on the above technical solution, the connecting part 200 is hexagonal prism.

[0053] The connecting part 200 is designed as a hexagonal prism. The hexagonal prism structure is a common shape for auxiliary tools such as wrenches. It can be efficiently adapted to common ratchet wrenches and ordinary wrenches on the market without the need for additional custom-made auxiliary tools, thus reducing tool adaptation costs. At the same time, the hexagonal prism connecting part has a uniform force-bearing surface, which can stably transmit the torque of the auxiliary tool and improve the force transmission efficiency during replacement.

[0054] Specifically, the auxiliary tools are ratchet wrenches or regular wrenches.

[0055] The auxiliary tools are either ratchet wrenches or ordinary wrenches. Both are common tools in industrial maintenance scenarios, so operators do not need to learn how to use special tools, reducing the learning cost. The ratchet wrench has a unidirectional rotation characteristic, which can achieve continuous rotation in confined spaces, further improving the replacement efficiency in confined spaces. The ordinary wrench can be used as a backup tool, improving the tool adaptability flexibility of the tooling.

[0056] In a specific example, when replacing the temperature sensor, first align the temperature sensor replacement device with the mounting hole of the generator temperature sensor, place the sensor cable in the cable tray 120, and snap the opening 110 into the detachable part of the temperature sensor. Connect one end of the ratchet wrench to the connecting part 200, and replace the temperature sensor quickly and easily by turning the ratchet wrench.

[0057] The temperature sensor replacement device of this utility model, by setting a main body 100 with an opening 110 and a connecting part 200 for connecting auxiliary tools, on the one hand, uses the opening 110 to accurately snap the temperature sensor and prevent the sensor from slipping off during disassembly and assembly, on the other hand, uses the connecting part 200 to adapt to auxiliary tools, solving the problem that ordinary tools cannot be directly inserted into narrow installation spaces, reducing the difficulty of operation, realizing efficient replacement of temperature sensors, and reducing the downtime of fan maintenance.
