Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power equipment assembly technology, and specifically to a bolt tension floating structure for wind turbine pitch bearings. Background Technology

[0002] The pitch control system is the core actuator of a wind turbine generator set, and its reliability directly affects the overall operational safety and power generation efficiency. The pitch bearing, as a key component connecting the blades and the hub, is typically fixed to the hub using multiple high-strength preload bolts. The uniformity of the preload force in these bolt connections is crucial. Insufficient or uneven preload can easily lead to fretting wear at the connection interface under complex operating conditions such as strong winds, vibrations, and alternating loads, potentially causing serious accidents such as bolt breakage or bearing failure. This results in extremely high maintenance costs and significant safety hazards.

[0003] To ensure the accuracy and uniformity of bolt preload, hydraulic bolt tensioners have become the mainstream fastening tool. Applying preload through pure tension effectively overcomes the influence of friction coefficient caused by torque methods, resulting in significantly higher preload accuracy than hydraulic torque wrenches. However, efficiently and accurately tensioning dozens of bolts arranged in a ring on a pitch bearing within the confined space of a wind turbine hub remains a significant challenge. Traditional methods of manually handling and positioning the tensioner are not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also struggle to ensure precise alignment between the tensioner and the bolts, inherently posing a risk of uneven preload.

[0004] To improve automation levels, the industry has begun to use auxiliary tooling or semi-automatic equipment to mount bolt tensioners. For example, existing technology CN202510710293.0 discloses a semi-automatic bolt tensioning device for wind turbine pitch bearings. By setting up a floating mechanism (including a guide rod, slider, floating spring and rod end fisheye bearing) and a rotating support assembly (hinge structure), the intelligent tensioner has a certain axial floating and slight oscillation capability, aiming to achieve self-alignment at the moment of contact with the bolt.

[0005] However, after in-depth analysis and practical verification, the existing technical solution still has the following significant drawbacks:

[0006] 1. Initial tilt due to gravity: This device requires the intelligent tensioner to be horizontal during operation. Because its guide rod is approximately perpendicular to the intelligent tensioner, the rear end of the tensioner, under its own gravitational torque, will compress the floating spring and sink, causing the front end of the tensioner to tilt upwards, placing it in a tilted position before docking even begins. This inherent initial tilt severely weakens its self-alignment function and may even lead to docking failure.

[0007] 2. Limited concentricity correction capability: Its floating mechanism can only provide initial floating compensation. After the tensioner is tightened against the bearing end face, it lacks an effective radial locking or positioning mechanism to finally correct and ensure high concentricity of the tensioner, tie rod, and bolt. Insufficient concentricity will cause the tie rod to bear additional bending stress during the tensioning process, which will not only aggravate the wear of the tie rod and bolt threads, causing the equipment to jam, but also pose a risk of accidental breakage of the tie rod or bolt. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a bolt tensioning floating structure for wind turbine pitch bearings.

[0023] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0024] 1. Fundamentally solves the tilting problem: By arranging the floating shaft parallel to the intelligent tensioner, the tilting torque caused by gravity is eliminated, ensuring that the intelligent tensioner is initially in a horizontal position, which greatly improves the starting accuracy of self-alignment.

[0025] 2. Intelligent floating-locking conversion: Utilizing the unique combination of conical holes, conical blocks, and springs, a dynamic process is achieved from "large-range floating alignment in the initial state" to "gradually decreasing floating amount during docking" to "rigid locking during final operation".

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] Appendix Figure 1 The bolt tensioning floating structure for wind turbine pitch bearings described in this utility model includes a mounting frame 1, two floating components 2 symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 1, a front mounting seat 3 and a rear mounting seat 4 located at the front and rear ends of the two floating components 2 respectively, and an intelligent tensioner 5 located between the two floating components 2 and installed on the front mounting seat 3 and the rear mounting seat 4.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, each floating assembly 2 includes a mounting block 21 mounted on the mounting frame 1, a floating shaft 22 passing through the mounting block 21 and placed parallel to the intelligent tensioner 5, and a front spring 23 sleeved on the floating seat and located between the front mounting seat 3 and the mounting block 21. The mounting block 21 has a conical hole 211 with a larger front end and a smaller rear end. The floating shaft 22 has a conical block 221 inside the conical hole 211, the length of which is less than the depth of the conical hole 211, and the diameter of the large end of the conical block 221 is smaller than the diameter of the large end of the conical hole 211 but larger than the diameter of the small end of the conical hole 211. The front and rear ends of the floating shaft 22 are connected to the front mounting seat 3 and the rear mounting seat 4, respectively.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, under the action of the front spring 23, the tapered block 221 is initially located at the front end (large end) of the tapered hole 211. Due to the gap, the floating shaft 22 is in a radially movable "suspended" state, allowing the intelligent tensioner 5 to automatically correct its posture the instant it contacts the bolt. During the docking process, the tie rod will press the floating shaft 22 against the elastic force of the front spring 23 and move it towards the rear end of the tapered hole 211, gradually reducing the radial range of motion and playing a guiding and initial positioning role. When the intelligent tensioner 5 is fully pressed against the end face of the wind turbine pitch bearing, as... Figure 4 As shown, the tapered block 221 on the floating shaft 22 is located at the rear end (small end) of the tapered hole 211. Since the large end diameter of the tapered block 221 is larger than the small end diameter of the tapered hole 211, precise radial positioning is achieved, the position of the bolt is finally corrected, the concentricity accuracy is significantly improved, and tension jamming or bolt deformation is avoided.

[0046] Since the floating shaft 22 is placed parallel to the intelligent tensioner 5, and the center of gravity of the intelligent tensioner 5 is set between the two floating components 2, its gravity will not generate a torque that causes its two ends to tilt, thus fundamentally avoiding the phenomenon of its front end tilting or sinking in a horizontal state, resulting in a better initial alignment effect; especially after stretching, when the tie rod is separated from the bolt, due to the loss of the external force of compression, under the action of the front spring 23, the conical block 221 is located at the front end of the conical hole 211, at which time the floating shaft 22 is in a suspended rotation state, making it easier for the intelligent tensioner 5 to separate from the tie rod.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, each set of floating components 2 also includes a rear spring 24 sleeved on the floating seat and located between the rear mounting seat 4 and the mounting block 21; the elastic force of the rear spring 24 is less than that of the front spring 23; the design of the rear spring 24 not only helps to improve the floating effect, but more importantly, after the stretching is completed and the external force is removed, it can work together with the front spring 23 to provide a buffer force, so as to avoid the cone block 221 and the end cap at the front end of the cone hole 211 from violently colliding under the elastic force of the front spring 23 after the external force is lost, thereby protecting the equipment and preventing the intelligent stretcher 5 from generating impact force that causes the internal parts to loosen.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent tensioner 5 includes a tensioner body 51 located between two floating components 2 and mounted on a front mounting base 3, a pull rod drive assembly 52 mounted on a rear mounting base 4 for driving the pull rod to rotate, and a nut drive assembly 53 mounted on a rear mounting base 4 for driving the gear box to automatically lock the nut.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front mounting base 3 includes a C-shaped mounting body 31, a notch 32 on the mounting body 31, a pressure strip 33 located at the notch 32, and bolts 34 on the main body at both ends of the pressure strip 33 to mount the pressure strip 33; wherein the tensioner body 51 passes through the notch 32, and the pressure strip 33 presses against the tensioner body 51 by tightening the bolts 34 to achieve radial fixation; the front mounting base 3 also includes two locking blocks 35 located at the front end of the mounting body 31 and on both sides of the notch 32; the locking blocks 35 are connected to the mounting body 31 by bolts 34 and are used to lock the surface steps of the tensioner body 51 to achieve axial positioning of the tensioner.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the pull rod drive assembly 52 includes a pull rod drive reduction motor 521, a pull rod connecting shaft 522, and a pull rod spring 523. The head of the pull rod connecting shaft 522 is provided with a pull rod plug 524 that can be inserted into the end socket of the pull rod. The pull rod drive reduction motor 521 drives the pull rod connecting shaft 522 to rotate the pull rod, thereby connecting and disconnecting the pull rod from the bolt. The pull rod spring 523 is disposed between the drive shaft of the pull rod drive reduction motor 521 and the pull rod connecting shaft 522, providing a continuous elastic preload to ensure the pull rod connecting shaft 522 remains connected to the pull rod and prevents disconnection. The pull rod plug 524 is not circular; its shape corresponds to the end socket of the pull rod. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the pull rod plug 524 is square.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the nut drive assembly 53 includes a nut drive reduction motor 531, a nut connecting shaft 532, and a nut spring; the head of the nut connecting shaft 532 is provided with a nut plug 533 that can be inserted into the gearbox socket; the pull rod drive reduction motor 521 is used to drive the nut connecting shaft 532 to drive the gearbox to work; the nut spring is disposed between the drive shaft of the nut drive reduction motor 531 and the nut connecting shaft 532 to provide a continuous elastic preload force, driving the nut connecting shaft 532 to remain connected to the gearbox and avoid disengagement; wherein the pull rod plug 524 is not circular, and its shape corresponds to the socket at the end of the pull rod. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the pull rod plug 524 is square.

[0052] This application utilizes a combined design of the front mounting base 3, the pull rod drive assembly 52, and the nut drive assembly 53 to facilitate quick disassembly and assembly of the tensioner body 51 for inspection and maintenance. The disassembly process is as follows: Since both the pull rod connecting shaft 522 and the nut connecting shaft 532 are connected to the insertion holes of the tensioner body 51 via plugs, loosening the bolts removes the two locking blocks 35 that hold the surface steps of the tensioner body 51. Then, loosening the bolts loosens the pressure strip 33, allowing the tensioner body 51 to be removed directly – a very quick and convenient process. The installation process is as follows: Pass the tensioner body 51 through the notch 32 of the mounting body 31, then insert the plugs of the pull rod connecting shaft 522 and the nut connecting shaft 532 into the corresponding insertion holes on the tensioner body 51. The two locking blocks 35 then hold the surface steps of the tensioner body 51 in place, achieving axial positioning and ensuring that the connecting shafts remain connected to the tensioner body 51 under the action of the springs, preventing separation. Finally, the pressure strip 33 is tightened with bolts for radial fixation, also quick and convenient.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rear mounting base 4 is provided with a positioning groove 41; the rear end of the tensioner body 51 is located in the positioning groove 41. The positioning groove 41 on the mounting base 4 and the pressure strip 33 on the front mounting base 3 achieve dual radial positioning, making the tensioner body 51 more stable after installation.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, the pull rod drive assembly 52 further includes an inner sleeve 525 and a limiting shaft 526; the tail end of the pull rod connecting shaft 522 is provided with a blind hole 527, and the surface is provided with a limiting hole 528 that is perpendicular to and passes through the blind hole 527; the limiting hole 528 is elongated and placed along the axis of the pull rod; one end of the inner sleeve 525 is connected to the drive shaft of the pull rod drive reduction motor 521, and the other end extends into the blind hole 527; the limiting shaft 526 passes perpendicularly through the inner sleeve 525, and both ends are located in the limiting hole 528 respectively; the pull rod spring 523 is sleeved on the inner sleeve 525 and located between the limiting shaft 526 and the bottom of the blind hole 527; this utility model, through the cooperation of the blind hole 527, the limiting hole 528 and the limiting shaft 526, achieves axial elastic connection while ensuring the reliability of circumferential transmission.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the nut drive assembly 53 further includes a connector 534; the tail end of the nut connecting shaft 532 is provided with a flattened portion; the flattened portion is provided with an elongated hole 535 placed along the axis of the pull rod; one end of the connector 534 is connected to the drive shaft of the nut drive reduction motor 531, and the other end is provided with a slot 536; the flattened portion is located in the slot 536; the connector 534 is provided with a limiting pin 537 passing through the elongated hole 535; the nut spring is located in the slot 536; this utility model, through the cooperation of the slot 536, the elongated hole 535 and the limiting pin 537, achieves axial elastic connection while ensuring the reliability of circumferential transmission.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the mounting frame 1 is U-shaped and includes a base 11 and side plates 12 located on both sides of the base 11. Reinforcing ribs 13 are also provided between the base 11 and the side plates 12 on both sides. The two sets of floating components 2 are respectively arranged inside the two side plates 12, making the overall structure more stable.

[0057] Furthermore, the tensioner body 51 is existing technology, such as the multi-stage ultra-high pressure thin-walled hydraulic tensioner for the main bolts of wind turbine hubs with authorization announcement number CN207431702U, which has already described the specific structure of the tensioner in detail, so this application will not describe it in detail.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] The difference from Example 1 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, each set of floating components 2 has two floating shafts 22, which are distributed vertically; the mounting block 21 also has two corresponding tapered holes 211; compared with only one floating shaft 22 in Embodiment 1, not only is the connection strength with the front mounting base 3 and the rear mounting base 4 higher, but the overall floating stability is also better.

[0060] Example 3:

[0061] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a vision module 6; the vision module 6 includes a bracket 61 mounted on two side plates 12, a camera 62 and a ring light source 63 respectively mounted on the bracket 61, for identifying and locating the bolt position to achieve automated operation.

[0062] Example 4:

[0063] Based on any one of Examples 1 to 3, such as Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a linear module 7 placed parallel to the intelligent tensioner 5; the linear module 7 includes a main slide 71 and a driven slide 72, wherein the main slide 71 is driven by the screw of the linear module 7, while the driven slide 72 is not driven by the linear module 7, but is only connected to the main slide 71 through the elastic element 73 and slides with the main slide 71; the base 11 is installed on the driven slide 72; when the linear module 7 drives the intelligent tensioner 5 to contact the bolt on the pitch bearing, the elastic element 73 plays a secondary buffering role to avoid rigid contact and improve the overall service life.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the elastic element 73 includes an elastic frame 731 mounted on the main slide table 71, a guide post 732 that passes horizontally through the elastic frame 731 and is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 1, and a buffer spring 733 that is sleeved on the guide post 732 and located between the elastic frame 731 and the base 11. During operation: since the guide post 732 passes through the elastic frame 731 and is threadedly connected to the base 11, it serves to connect the elastic frame 731 and the mounting frame 1. The buffer spring 733 is provided on the guide post 732 between the elastic frame 731 and the mounting frame 1. When the linear module 7 drives the intelligent tensioner 5 to contact the bolt on the pitch bearing, the guide post 732 can slide along the elastic frame 731. At this time, the buffer spring 733 plays a buffering role.

[0065] During operation: the camera 62 of the vision module 6 identifies the position of the bolt on the pitch bearing; the linear module 7 drives the main slide 71 forward, which in turn pushes the driven slide 72 and the entire floating structure toward the bolt through the elastic element 73; at the moment of contact, if there is a deviation, since the initial position of the conical block 221 is located at the large end of the conical hole 211 under the action of the front spring 23, there is ample space, allowing the floating shaft 22 to move radially, thereby achieving self-alignment;

[0066] After alignment, the linear module 7 continues to advance, the bolt will press against the pull rod, and the reaction force will force the entire floating mechanism to move backward against the elastic force of the front spring 23. The conical block 221 gradually moves towards the small end of the conical hole 211, the radial clearance gradually decreases, and the guiding effect is enhanced until the intelligent tensioner 5 completely abuts against the bearing end face, the conical block 221 enters the small end of the conical hole 211, achieving radial locking and ensuring extremely high concentricity; then, the pull rod drive assembly 52 works, and the pull rod is screwed to engage with the bolt, so that the tensioning operation can be performed; at the same time, the nut drive assembly 53 works, driving the gearbox to lock the nut;

[0067] After the operation is completed, each drive reverses and the linear module 7 moves backward; under the synergistic buffering effect of the front spring 23 and the rear spring 24, the conical block 221 smoothly returns to the large end of the conical hole 211 and resumes its floating state.

[0068] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
