[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] In this document, terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” “right,” and “top” indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wind power oil collection device includes an oil collection box 1 and a positioning component for positioning the oil collection box 1. The positioning component is detachably connected to the equipment to be installed. The oil collection box 1 is snapped into the positioning component. A pull-out component is provided at the bottom of the oil collection box 1 to facilitate fixing or removing the oil collection box 1 for lubricating oil recovery.

[0021] This application provides a wind power oil collection device, which is mainly used in wind turbine generator sets to collect lubricating oil leaking from equipment such as gearboxes. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and disassembly, and high collection efficiency.

[0022] By setting up an oil collection box 1 and a positioning component for precise positioning of the oil collection box 1, the positioning component is detachably connected to the equipment to be installed on the wind turbine generator set (e.g., gearbox housing or nearby support structure) through fasteners. The oil collection box 1 is engaged with the positioning component by a snap-fit ​​method to achieve quick installation and fixation. The above-mentioned split design allows the oil collection box 1 to be removed independently and conveniently for lubricating oil recovery and cleaning, while the positioning component is fixed to the equipment, ensuring the repeatability accuracy of the installation position.

[0023] By using the combination of "detachable connection between the positioning component and the equipment to be installed" and "snap-fitting between the oil collection box and the positioning component", the oil collection box 1 can be quickly installed and removed, which greatly facilitates the maintenance personnel to recycle the collected lubricating oil, improves maintenance efficiency, and reduces workload. The bottom pull-out component further optimizes the operating experience. Whether installing or removing, the operation direction is clear, labor-saving and convenient.

[0024] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the oil collection box 1 includes a box body 2 and a box cover 3 fastened to the top of the box body 2. The side wall of the box body 2 is provided with a first opening 5 for inserting an oil pipe 4 to realize the collection of lubricating oil.

[0025] Specifically, the box body 2 is the main cavity used to store lubricating oil. The box cover 3 is fastened to the top of the box body 2 to prevent foreign objects from entering and reduce the evaporation of lubricating oil. A first opening 5 is provided on the side wall of the box body 2 for inserting an oil pipe 4 from the bottom of the equipment to be installed. The lubricating oil flows down the oil pipe 4 and enters the box body 2 through the first opening 5 to complete the collection.

[0026] The separate box body 2 and box cover 3 structure facilitates manufacturing and cleaning. The first opening 5 on the side wall of the box body 2 can directly and smoothly receive the lubricating oil flowing out of the oil pipe 4, guide the direction of oil flow, avoid lubricating oil splashing or leakage, and ensure the reliability of collection.

[0027] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the cover 3 includes a cover plate and a cover edge fixed below the cover plate. The edge of the cover plate is provided with a second opening 6, and the cover edge is provided with a third opening 7 corresponding to the second opening 6, so as to align with the first opening 5 and avoid the oil pipe 4.

[0028] To ensure that the oil pipe 4 can smoothly pass through the top area of ​​the oil collection box 1 and accurately insert into the first opening 5 on the side wall, the cover 3 of this embodiment has been optimized. Specifically, the cover 3 includes a cover plate and a cover edge extending downward from the bottom of the cover plate. A second opening 6 and a third opening 7 are correspondingly opened at the edge of the cover plate and on the cover edge. When the cover 3 is fastened to the box body 2, the second opening 6 and the third opening 7 are spatially aligned with the first opening 5 on the side wall of the box body 2, forming a clearance channel, so that the oil pipe 4 can pass through the area of ​​the cover 3 without interference and be inserted into the internal cavity of the oil collection box 1.

[0029] By setting aligned second openings 6 and third openings 7 on the cover 3, together with the first opening 5 on the body 2, a continuous clearance space is formed, which effectively avoids collision or interference between the oil pipe 4 and the cover 3 when installing the oil collection box 1, ensuring a smooth installation process, while ensuring the accuracy of the insertion depth of the oil pipe 4, and improving the practicality and reliability of the device.

[0030] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the box body 2 is cylindrical, and the positioning component is specifically a pipe clamp 8. The pipe clamp 8 is C-shaped to form a snap-fit ​​groove 9, and the depth of the snap-fit ​​groove 9 is greater than the outer circumference radius of the box body 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the box body 2 preferably adopts a cylindrical structure. Correspondingly, the positioning element is a C-shaped pipe clamp 8, thereby forming an arc-shaped snap-fit ​​groove 9. During the design, it is ensured that the depth of the snap-fit ​​groove 9 is slightly greater than the outer circumference radius of the box body 2. This means that when the box body 2 is placed into the snap-fit ​​groove 9, the two sides of the opening end of the pipe clamp 8 will cover and constrain the box body 2 to a certain extent, preventing it from easily falling out, while allowing it to be easily "snapped" or "pried out" along the arc-shaped trajectory of the snap-fit ​​groove 9.

[0032] The combination of the cylindrical box 2 and the C-shaped pipe clamp 8 enables the oil collection box 1 to be initially positioned in all directions in the horizontal direction. At the same time, it allows the oil collection box 1 to be engaged and disengaged along an arc path, providing a smooth operation and stable positioning. The design of the engagement groove 9, which is deeper than the radius of the box 2, ensures sufficient holding force while avoiding excessive difficulty during disassembly.

[0033] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the pipe clamp 8 includes a fixing part 10 and two clamping arms 11 symmetrically arranged about the fixing part 10. The ends of the clamping arms 11 are bent toward the side closer to the fixing part 10 so as to fit the surface of the box body 2.

[0034] Specifically, the ends of both clamping arms 11 are bent toward the fixing part 10 (i.e. toward the center of the snap-fit ​​groove 9) to form a guide structure. This bent part can better fit with the outer wall of the cylindrical box 2, increase the contact area, and improve the stability and smoothness of clamping.

[0035] The symmetrically arranged clamping arms 11 ensure even force distribution and guarantee the stability of the oil collection box 1 after installation. The curved design at the end of the clamping arms 11 serves two purposes: firstly, it guides the box body 2 to slide into the locking groove 9; secondly, it increases the contact area with the box body 2, reduces local stress, and makes the locking tighter and more reliable.

[0036] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the inner side of the fixing part 10 is provided with an installation groove 12, the bottom of the installation groove 12 is provided with an installation hole 13, the outer side of the fixing part 10 is provided with a positioning surface, the installation hole 13 is used to install fasteners and cooperate with the equipment to be installed through the positioning surface to realize the fixed installation of the pipe clamp 8.

[0037] An installation groove 12 is provided on the inner side of the fixing part 10, and an installation hole 13 is provided in the center of the installation groove 12. The outer side of the fixing part 10 is designed as a flat positioning surface. During installation, the positioning surface is tightly fitted with the flat surface of the equipment to be installed, and fasteners such as bolts are inserted through the installation hole 13. By tightening the bolts, the entire pipe clamp 8 can be firmly installed in the designated position.

[0038] The mounting slot 12 structure provides space for the head of the fastener, making the structure more compact and neat after installation. The outer positioning surface fits against the equipment surface, ensuring the stability and verticality of the installation, preventing the pipe clamp 8 from twisting or loosening due to force, thus ensuring the long-term accuracy of the position of the oil collection box 1.

[0039] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the pull-out component is specifically a push-pull plate 14. The push-pull plate 14 is fixed below the box body 2. The push-pull plate 14 and the first opening 5 are arranged opposite to the box body 2 so as to avoid the oil pipe 4 when the box body 2 is moved.

[0040] To facilitate the operator's fixing or disassembly of the oil collection box 1, a pull-out component is provided at the bottom of the box body 2, specifically a push-pull plate 14 in this embodiment. The push-pull plate 14 is fixed to the bottom of the box body 2, and its position is opposite to the first opening 5 on the side wall of the box body 2. The purpose of this design is that when pushing or pulling the push-pull plate 14 to install or remove the oil collection box 1, the point of application of the operating force and the insertion point of the oil pipe 4 are located on opposite sides of the box body 2, forming a lever principle. This reduces operating effort and effectively avoids contact with the oil pipe 4 during operation.

[0041] The push-pull plate 14 provides the operator with a clear point of force application, making installation and disassembly easier and more efficient. Positioning it opposite the opening of the oil pipe 4 optimizes the mechanical structure, enables labor-saving operation, minimizes interference with the oil pipe 4, and improves operational safety and convenience.

[0042] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the push-pull plate 14 is provided with a gripping groove 15, which penetrates the push-pull plate 14 to form a handle on the push-pull plate 14, so as to facilitate gripping and moving the box 2 closer to or away from the positioning member.

[0043] Furthermore, a gripping groove 15 is provided on the push-pull plate 14, which penetrates the thickness of the push-pull plate 14, thereby naturally forming a handle structure on the push-pull plate 14 that is easy for fingers to grip.

[0044] The handle structure formed by the grip groove 15 conforms to the principles of ergonomics, providing operators with an excellent grip point. Especially when operating with gloves, it can effectively prevent hand slippage, making the pushing and pulling action more stable and less strenuous, greatly improving the experience and efficiency of on-site maintenance.

[0045] In the wind power oil collection device of this embodiment, the bottom of the equipment to be installed is provided with an oil tank for collecting lubricating oil. The inlet of the oil pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the oil tank, and the outlet end of the oil pipe 4 is inclined so as to be inserted into the box 2.

[0046] The working process of this device is as follows: First, the pipe clamp 8 is securely installed at a predetermined position below the equipment to be installed using the fixing part 10. The bottom of the equipment to be installed usually has an oil trough for collecting dripping lubricating oil, with the inlet of the oil pipe 4 connected below the oil trough. When installing the oil collection box 1, the operator holds the gripping groove 15 on the push-pull plate 14, aligns the cylindrical box 2 with the snap-fit ​​groove 9 of the pipe clamp 8, and pushes it in along the arc trajectory until the box 2 is stably held by the clamping arm 11. At this time, the outlet end of the oil pipe 4 will pass through the second opening 6 and the third opening 7 on the box cover 3 and insert into the first opening 5 on the side wall of the box 2. The outlet end of the oil pipe 4 is preferably inclined downward so that the lubricating oil can flow smoothly into the box 2. When it is necessary to recover the lubricating oil, the oil collection box 1 can be easily removed by reversing the operation, and then snapped back into place after processing.

[0047] With the above-described structural design, the entire system layout is reasonable, forming a complete and unobstructed lubricating oil collection path between the oil tank, oil pipe 4, and oil collection box 1. The inclined design of the outlet end of oil pipe 4 conforms to fluid characteristics, reducing oil residue and leakage, and ensuring collection efficiency. This embodiment clearly demonstrates how this application achieves the beneficial effects of convenient maintenance and highly reliable collection in practical applications.
