Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine monitoring, specifically a vibration monitoring device for wind turbine gearboxes. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbine gearbox vibration refers to the mechanical vibration phenomenon generated during gearbox operation due to factors such as gear meshing, bearing rotation, changes in force on transmission components, and fluctuations in external wind load. This vibration gradually intensifies with problems such as gear wear, bearing damage, changes in lubrication conditions, or installation deviations. Abnormal vibration may lead to accelerated damage to internal parts of the gearbox, affecting the operating efficiency and service life of the wind turbine generator set. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor gearbox vibration in order to detect abnormal operation and carry out maintenance in a timely manner.
[0003] Existing wind turbine gearbox vibration monitoring devices typically require sensor installation through drilling, slotting, or adding fixed mounting structures. This not only easily damages the original structure of the motor body and gearbox but may also affect the sealing performance of the gearbox. Furthermore, the installation space and structural dimensions vary between different wind turbine models, resulting in poor adaptability of existing monitoring devices and limited adjustment range for installation positions. It is difficult to adjust the sensor's contact and monitoring positions according to actual monitoring needs. When vibration monitoring is required for different parts of the motor body or gearbox, the mounting structure often needs to be readjusted or even the monitoring device reinstalled, increasing the difficulty of on-site installation and maintenance, and reducing the applicability and ease of use of the device. Therefore, this invention designs a wind turbine gearbox vibration monitoring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] Please see Figures 1-11 In this embodiment of the utility model, a vibration monitoring device for a wind turbine gearbox includes a motor body 1, a gearbox body 2 fixedly mounted on the right end of the motor body 1, an adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 and a fitting monitoring mechanism 4 provided on the outer sides of the motor body 1 and the gearbox body 2. The adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 is used to establish the installation foundation of the entire vibration monitoring device, so that the fitting monitoring mechanism 4 can be installed without drilling or slotting the motor body 1 and the gearbox body 2. The fitting monitoring mechanism 4 is used to install a first sensor 403 and a second sensor 406, and adjusts the fitting position of the first sensor 403 and the second sensor 406 according to the actual monitoring requirements to meet the vibration monitoring requirements of different parts.
[0021] Specifically, the adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 includes a receiving tube 301, a first mounting tube 302, a first adjusting screw 303, a limiting insert 304, a second mounting tube 305, a second adjusting screw 306, a first limiting connecting rod 307, a second limiting connecting rod 308, and a connecting screw 309. The limiting insert 304 is inserted into the receiving tube 301, forming an insertion relationship, allowing the receiving tube 301 and the limiting insert 304 to adjust their overall length according to the installation dimensions of the motor body 1 and the gearbox body 2. The first mounting tube 302 is fixedly installed at the right end of the receiving tube 301, and the first adjusting screw 303 is threadedly connected to the inside of the first mounting tube 302. The extension length can be adjusted by rotating the first adjusting screw 303. The second mounting tube 305 is fixedly installed on the right end of the limiting insertion tube 304.

The connecting screw 309 is set between the first limiting connecting rod 307 and the second limiting connecting rod 308 to connect the upper and lower adjustable limiting clamping mechanisms 3, so that the entire adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 forms a stable clamping structure.
[0022] The fitting monitoring mechanism 4 includes a first threaded seat 401, a first threaded cylinder 402, a first sensor 403, a second threaded seat 404, a second threaded cylinder 405, a second sensor 406, a first mounting screw 407, a first mounting sleeve 408, a second mounting screw 409, a second mounting sleeve 410, and a loading sleeve 411. The first threaded seat 401 is internally threaded to the first threaded cylinder 402. The first sensor 403 is fixedly mounted to the rear end of the first threaded cylinder 402. The first mounting screw 407 is fixedly mounted to the upper and lower ends of the first threaded cylinder 402. The first mounting sleeve 408 is fixedly mounted to the outer wall of the first mounting tube 302. The first mounting screw 407 cooperates with the first mounting sleeve 408 to make the first threaded seat 404... 01. The first threaded cylinder 402 and the first sensor 403 are installed on the first mounting pipe 302; the second threaded seat 404 is internally threaded to the second threaded cylinder 405, the second sensor 406 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the second threaded cylinder 405, the second mounting screw 409 is fixedly installed on the upper and lower ends of the second threaded cylinder 405, the second mounting sleeve 410 is installed on the outside of the second mounting screw 409, and the rear end of the second mounting sleeve 410 is fixedly installed with a loading sleeve 411. The loading sleeve 411 is sleeved on the outside of the first adjusting screw 303 and can be adjusted in position along the first adjusting screw 303 so that the second threaded seat 404, the second threaded cylinder 405 and the second sensor 406 are installed on the first adjusting screw 303.
[0023] In this embodiment, during use, the adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 is first adjusted according to the actual installation dimensions of the motor body 1 and the gearbox body 2. The limiting insert 304 is inserted into the receiving tube 301. By changing the insertion length of the receiving tube 301 and the limiting insert 304, the overall length of the adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 meets the actual installation requirements. Then, according to the installation position of the gearbox body 2 and the installation space between the motor body 1 and the gearbox body 2, the first adjusting screw 303 and the second adjusting screw 306 are rotated respectively to change the extension length of the first adjusting screw 303 and the second adjusting screw 306. Then, according to the position of the outer annular groove of the gearbox body 2, the first limiting connecting rod 307 and the second limiting connecting rod 308 are installed in the corresponding positions, so that the first limiting connecting rod 307... The rod 307 and the second limiting rod 308 can form a limiting fit with the annular groove of the gearbox 2, while the receiving tube 301 and the limiting insert 304 abut against the outside of the motor body 1. At this time, the adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3 set in the upper and lower layers is located on the upper and lower sides of the motor body 1 and the gearbox 2, respectively. Then, multiple connecting screws 309 are used to connect and fix the first limiting rod 307 and the second limiting rod 308 at corresponding positions in the upper and lower layers, so that the upper and lower layers form an integral clamping structure, thereby completing the installation of the adjustable limiting clamping mechanism 3. This allows the entire device to be stably installed on the outside of the motor body 1 and the gearbox 2, establishing a stable installation foundation for subsequent vibration monitoring. Furthermore, it does not require drilling or slotting the motor body 1 or the gearbox 2, and does not affect the original structure of the equipment.
[0024] After completing the installation of the adjustable limit clamping mechanism 3, the fitting monitoring mechanism 4 is installed. First, the first threaded seat 401 is installed on the outside of the first mounting tube 302, and fixedly installed with the first mounting screw 407 and the first mounting sleeve 408. Then, the first threaded cylinder 402 is threaded into the inside of the first threaded seat 401. The first sensor 403 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the first threaded cylinder 402. By rotating the first threaded cylinder 402, the position of the first sensor 403 is adjusted axially to change the fitting position between the first sensor 403 and the motor body 1 or gearbox body 2. At the same time, the mounting... The carrier sleeve 411 is fitted onto the outside of the first adjusting screw 303, and the installation position of the carrier sleeve 411 on the first adjusting screw 303 is adjusted according to the actual monitoring position. Then, the second threaded seat 404 is installed through the second mounting sleeve 410 and the second mounting screw 409. Subsequently, the second threaded cylinder 405 is threaded into the inside of the second threaded seat 404, and the second sensor 406 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the second threaded cylinder 405. By rotating the second threaded cylinder 405, the contact position of the second sensor 406 is adjusted so that the second sensor 406 can maintain a contact state with the corresponding monitoring part according to the actual monitoring requirements.
[0025] Furthermore, since the first mounting sleeve 408 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first mounting tube 302, the first sensor 403 can be installed at different positions of the first mounting sleeve 408 according to actual monitoring needs to change the monitoring position. The second sensor 406 can be adjusted in position along the first adjusting screw 303 with the help of the loading sleeve 411, so that the second sensor 406 can also adapt to the installation requirements of different positions. The first sensor 403 and the second sensor 406 can not only monitor the vibration of the gearbox 2, but also be installed at the corresponding position of the motor body 1 according to actual use needs to monitor the vibration. This allows the same vibration monitoring device to be applicable to the installation requirements of different types of wind turbines and different monitoring parts. While ensuring the integrity of the original structure of the equipment, the device's installation adaptability, installation flexibility and on-site maintenance convenience are improved.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
