Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox lubrication technology, and in particular to a lubrication oil circuit structure and a wind turbine gearbox. Background Technology
[0002] The gearbox is one of the key components of a wind turbine generator set. Its main function is to transmit the power generated by the wind turbine under the action of wind to the generator and enable it to achieve the corresponding rotational speed. The lubrication system is an indispensable part of the normal operation of the gearbox. It reduces friction between transmission mechanisms, reduces wear, and reduces power consumption by spraying lubricating oil onto the transmission mechanism inside the gearbox.
[0003] Inside a wind turbine gearbox, parallel gear pairs often serve as the final stage of the transmission mechanism, connecting to the generator. These gears operate at high speeds, thus requiring a large volume of lubricating oil. Currently, lubrication of parallel gear pairs is primarily achieved through oil pipes. One end of the pipe connects to an oil outlet inside the gearbox, while the other end bypasses the transmission mechanism, with its nozzle aligned with a designated lubrication point on the parallel gear pair. To ensure the stability of the oil pipe during gearbox operation, this lubrication structure requires bolts to secure the pipe along its length to the inner wall of the gearbox. This presents significant inconvenience for both initial installation and subsequent maintenance of the lubrication system. Furthermore, the considerable length of the oil pipe makes it highly susceptible to detachment during gearbox operation.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a lubrication circuit structure to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a lubrication circuit structure. One end of the lubrication circuit structure is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 100. The lubrication circuit structure has a lubrication channel 10 inside and a lubrication hole 22 is opened on the lubrication circuit structure. The lubrication hole 22 is connected to the oil outlet 110 on the inner wall of the mounting box 100 through the lubrication channel 10. The lubrication hole 22 is set facing the lubrication area and is used to deliver lubricating oil to the lubrication area. In this embodiment, since the lubrication circuit structure has a lubrication channel 10 inside and a lubrication hole 22 is also provided on the lubrication circuit structure, and the lubrication hole 22 is connected to the oil outlet 110 on the inner wall of the mounting box 100 through the lubrication channel 10, the lubricating oil in the oil outlet 110 will flow through the lubrication channel 10 and out through the lubrication hole 22, thereby realizing the function of delivering lubricating oil to the lubrication area. The structure of this lubrication circuit structure is simple. It can be assembled by fixing its end to the inner wall of the mounting box 100. Since this lubrication circuit structure utilizes the oil outlet 110 on the inner wall of the mounting box 100, there is no need to set up a long exposed pipe, which greatly facilitates the initial installation and subsequent maintenance work, and has strong practicality.
[0037] Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting housing 100 is provided with an oil supply channel for supplying lubricating oil to the planetary transmission mechanisms at each stage inside the mounting housing 100. Before installing the lubrication circuit structure on the inner wall of the mounting housing 100, an oil outlet 110 needs to be opened on the inner wall of the mounting housing 100 so that the oil outlet 110 is connected to the oil supply channel inside the housing wall. The lubrication holes 22 of the lubrication circuit structure are set directly opposite the meshing area of the parallel gear pair, thereby realizing the lubrication of the two gears in the parallel gear pair.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lubrication circuit structure includes a fixed base 1 and an oil supply pipe 2 connected to each other. The fixed base 1 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 100. An oil guide hole 11 is provided on the fixed base 1. The oil supply pipe 2 has a flow cavity 21 inside. The oil guide hole 11 and the flow cavity 21 are connected to form a lubrication channel 10. The oil guide hole 11 is connected to the oil outlet 110. A lubrication hole 22 is opened in the oil supply pipe 2. Lubricating oil flows out from the oil outlet 110 and flows into the flow cavity 21 through the oil guide hole 11, and finally flows out through the lubrication hole 22.
[0039] The specific structures of the mounting base 1 and the oil pipeline 2 can be configured according to actual conditions; in this embodiment, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the fixed base 1 is a disc-shaped structure, and the oil supply pipe 2 is a hollow round pipe with one end open. The oil supply pipe 2 is welded to the fixed base 1, and the port of the flow cavity 21 is directly opposite the oil guide hole 11. The inner diameter of the port of the flow cavity 21 is the same as the inner diameter of the oil guide hole 11.
[0040] To improve the applicability of this lubrication circuit structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, a converging groove 12 is recessed on the end face of the fixed base 1 facing the inner wall of the mounting box 100. An oil guide hole 11 is opened on the bottom surface of the converging groove 12. The converging groove 12 is connected to the oil outlet 110. The opening area of the converging groove 12 is larger than the opening area of the oil guide hole 11. Therefore, the converging groove 12 can collect lubricating oil and avoid the problem that the lubricating oil cannot enter the oil guide hole 11 due to the limited installation space and the inability of the oil guide hole 11 to be aligned with the oil outlet 110.
[0041] The specific structure and opening shape of the manifold 12 can be set according to actual conditions, as long as its opening area on the end face of the fixed base 1 is larger than the oil guide hole 11 and can completely cover the oil outlet 110. In this embodiment, the manifold 12 is elongated, the oil guide hole 11 is located at one end of the manifold 12, and the oil outlet 110 is within the coverage area of the manifold 12. Therefore, the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil outlet 110 will first enter the manifold 12 and then flow into the oil guide hole 11. In another embodiment, the manifold 12 is circular, the oil guide hole 11 is located in the middle of the manifold 12, and the oil outlet 110 is within the coverage area of the manifold 12.
[0042] To further improve the sealing performance of the lubrication circuit structure, a sealing ring is sandwiched between the fixing seat 1 and the mounting housing 100, and the sealing ring is arranged around the edge of the fixing seat 1. In this embodiment, an O-ring is provided between the fixing seat 1 and the inner wall of the mounting housing 100 to prevent lubricating oil leakage.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 1 has a mounting hole 13 for a fastener 4 to pass through. The fastener 4 is used to detachably connect the mounting housing 100 and the mounting base 1. Since the mounting base 1 is detachably connected to the mounting housing 100 through the fastener 4, the maintenance and replacement of the lubrication circuit structure is greatly facilitated. In this embodiment, the fastener 4 is a bolt. The inner wall of the mounting housing 100 has a threaded hole. The bolt passes through the mounting hole 13 of the mounting base 1 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting housing 100, thereby connecting the mounting base 1 and the mounting housing 100.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a nozzle 3 is installed on the lubrication hole 22, and the nozzle 3 is used to spray lubricating oil. The nozzle 3 is a commonly used spray lubrication device in the art, which can spray the lubricating oil delivered by the oil pump in the form of droplets onto the lubrication area in a directional manner, thereby effectively improving the lubrication effect and avoiding waste.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple lubrication holes 22 are provided, and these multiple lubrication holes 22 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the lubrication channel 10. The multiple lubrication holes 22 can further improve the lubrication effect and lubrication efficiency. In this embodiment, the oil supply pipe 2 is a circular pipe structure, and the length direction of the oil supply pipe 2 is parallel to the axial direction of the gear to be lubricated. Four lubrication holes 22 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the oil supply pipe 2, and a nozzle 3 is installed on each lubrication hole 22.
[0046] This embodiment also provides a wind turbine gearbox, including a mounting housing 100 and the aforementioned lubrication oil passage structure. The lubrication oil passage structure is disposed inside the mounting housing 100, and the lubrication channel 10 is connected to the oil outlet 110. In this embodiment, the wind turbine gearbox can directly supply lubricating oil to the last stage parallel gear pair of the transmission mechanism through the lubrication oil passage structure, making full use of the oil outlet 110 on the inner wall of the mounting housing 100, eliminating the need for laboriously setting up long and complex exposed steel pipes, greatly facilitating the initial installation and subsequent maintenance operations.
[0047] Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting box 100 is provided with an oil supply channel, which is used to supply lubricating oil to the planetary transmission mechanisms at each level inside the mounting box 100. Before installing the lubricating oil circuit structure on the inner wall of the mounting box 100, an oil outlet 110 needs to be opened on the inner wall of the mounting box 100 so that the oil outlet 110 is connected to the oil supply channel inside the box wall.
[0048] To improve the assembly stability between the mounting housing 100 and the lubrication circuit structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting housing 100 is recessed with an assembly groove 120 for accommodating the end of the lubricating oil circuit structure. An oil outlet 110 is located on the bottom surface of the assembly groove 120. A sealing ring is sandwiched between the side wall of the assembly groove 120 and the end of the lubricating oil circuit structure. In this embodiment, the lubricating oil circuit structure includes a fixed base 1 and an oil supply pipe 2, which are fixedly connected. The fixed base 1 has a disc-shaped structure, and the shape of the assembly groove 120 matches that of the fixed base 1. Therefore, the assembly groove 120 can position the fixed base 1 during installation, and also improves the stability and reliability of the assembly. A threaded hole is provided on the bottom surface of the assembly groove 120, and the fixed base 1 is screwed to the mounting housing 100 by fasteners 4.
[0049] A sealing groove is provided around the outer circumference of the end of the lubrication circuit structure. A sealing ring is embedded in the sealing groove, and the portion of the sealing ring extending out of the sealing groove abuts against the side wall of the assembly groove 120. In this embodiment, the fixing seat 1 has a disc-shaped structure and is embedded in the assembly groove 120. An O-ring is provided between the fixing seat 1 and the assembly groove 120. To further improve the installation stability of the O-ring, the O-ring is embedded in the sealing groove on the outer circumference of the fixing seat 1.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
