[0046] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] The impeller in a wind turbine is connected to a gearbox, and the gearbox increases the impeller's speed to meet the generator's rotational requirements. The conduit in the gearbox, a crucial component of the gearbox, provides a path for the power cables in the electronic control system.

[0048] In the prior art, the cable guide is a single, straight tube that passes through the sun gear and planetary carrier, or a segmented tube that connects to form a complete cable installation channel. The ends of the tube are connected to the gearbox housing, and the tube rotates under the drive of the impeller.

[0049] However, the threading tube is subjected to rotational torque, which can easily cause damage to the tube wall. The oil in the gearbox enters the threading tube and corrodes the power cable.

[0050] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the present application provides a gearbox cable installation assembly, a gearbox, and a wind power generation system, wherein the gearbox cable installation assembly includes a first installation tube, a second installation tube, and a first connector. The first installation tube has a first accommodating chamber that runs axially through both sides. The second installation tube is arranged in the first accommodating chamber. The second installation tube has a second accommodating chamber. The rotary chamber of the first connector is connected to the second accommodating chamber for the cable to pass through the second accommodating chamber. The cavity wall of the rotary chamber of the first connector is radially connected to the first installation tube and axially connected to the second installation tube. Through such a structural setting, the oil can be blocked on the outside of the second installation tube to prevent the oil from entering the second accommodating chamber and corroding the cable.

[0051] The contents of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the contents of this application more clearly and in detail.

[0053] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, this embodiment provides a gear box cable installation assembly 100, including a first mounting tube 110, a second mounting tube 120 and a first connecting member 130. The first mounting tube 110 has a first accommodating cavity 1101, and the first accommodating cavity 1101 passes through both ends of the first mounting tube 110 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The second mounting tube 120 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 1101.

[0054] The second mounting tube 120 has a second accommodating cavity 1201 , which passes through both ends of the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the second mounting tube 120 . The second accommodating cavity 1201 is configured to accommodate cables.

[0055] The first connecting member 130 is arranged at the end of the first mounting tube 110, and the first connecting member 130 includes a main body 1301. The main body 1301 is a rotating member and has a rotating chamber 1302. The rotating chamber 1302 is connected to the second accommodating chamber 1201. The cavity wall of the rotating chamber 1302 is sealed and abutted against the outer wall of the first mounting tube 110 and the end face of the second mounting tube 120, and the main body 1301 and the first mounting tube 110 are connected along the radial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The main body 1301 includes a stop portion 1304, which is connected to the inner wall of the rotating chamber 1302, and the stop portion 1304 is blocked at the end face of the second mounting tube 120. The stop portion 1304 and the second mounting tube 120 are connected along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110.

[0056] The gearbox cable mounting assembly 100 provided in this embodiment is inserted into the first accommodating chamber 1101 of the first mounting tube 110 via the second mounting tube 120. The first connector 130, the first mounting tube 110, and the second mounting tube 120 are all sealed and relatively fixedly connected to each other. This prevents oil from entering the second accommodating chamber 1201, thereby maintaining a dry environment within the second accommodating chamber 1201 and effectively reducing oil corrosion on the cable. In addition, the stopper 1304 on the first connector 130 abuts the end surface of the second mounting tube 120, and the two are connected along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. While ensuring the sealing of the second mounting tube 120, the axial deviation of the second mounting tube 120 can be avoided, thereby maintaining the overall structure of the gearbox cable mounting assembly 100.

[0057] The specific structure and various possible implementations of the gearbox cable installation assembly 100 are described in detail below.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 5 , the gearbox cable mounting assembly 100 in this embodiment includes a first mounting tube 110, a second mounting tube 120, and a first connector 130. The first mounting tube 110 is a straight tube with a circular cross-sectional profile. The first mounting tube 110 has a first accommodating cavity 1101 extending axially along the first mounting tube 110 and penetrating opposite sides of the first mounting tube 110 along the axial direction to accommodate the second mounting tube 120.

[0059] In some embodiments, there may be one or more first mounting tubes 110. As shown in FIG5 , when there are two first mounting tubes 110, the two first mounting tubes 110 are axially connected relative to each other, so that the two first accommodating cavities 1101 of the two first mounting tubes 110 are relatively connected and accommodate the second mounting tube 120. In this connected state, the second mounting tube 120 sequentially passes through different first accommodating cavities 1101 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110.

[0060] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional profile of the second mounting tube 120 matches the shape of the wall of the first accommodating chamber 1101, allowing the second mounting tube 120 to smoothly pass through the first accommodating chamber 1101 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The second mounting tube 120 has a second accommodating chamber 1201. The second accommodating chamber 1201 extends axially along the first mounting tube 110 and penetrates opposite sides of the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the second mounting tube 120, allowing cables to pass through the second accommodating chamber 1201 along the axial direction of the second mounting tube 120.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first connector 130 is disposed at one end of the first mounting tube 110 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. Of course, the first connector 130 can be disposed at either end of the first mounting tube 110. Furthermore, the first connector 130 includes a body 1301 extending along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The body 1301 is a rotating member, and its interior is hollow, forming a rotating cavity 1302. The rotating cavity 1302 extends through opposite sides of the body 1301 along the axial direction. The body 1301 is sleeved onto the outside of the first mounting tube 110. It will be understood that a portion of the wall of the rotating cavity 1302 seals against the circumferential outer wall of the first mounting tube 110. Furthermore, a portion of the wall of the rotating cavity 1302 seals against the end faces of the first mounting tube 110 and the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110, thereby preventing oil in the gearbox from entering the first accommodating cavity 1101 and the second accommodating cavity 1201. In addition, the body 1301 is connected to the first mounting pipe 110 along the radial direction of the first mounting pipe 110 .

[0062] Specifically, the stopper 1304 of the body 1301 extends radially away from the wall of the rotary chamber 1302 of the body 1301. The stopper 1304 abuts against the sidewall of the second mounting tube 120 and the end surface of the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. In other words, the stopper 1304 blocks the end surface of the second mounting tube 120, thereby limiting the axial movement of the second mounting tube 120 along the body 1301. The connection between the stopper 1304 and the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110 and the second mounting tube 120 maintains relative fixity.

[0063] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first mounting tube 110 and the outer wall of the second mounting tube 120 form an annular gap 140, which passes through the opposite sides of the first accommodating cavity 1101 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110, and the radial spacing of the annular gap 140 (marked L in Figure 6) is 4mm-30mm.

[0064] Referring to Figures 1, 5, and 6, second mounting tube 120 extends axially through first accommodating chamber 1101 along the first mounting tube 110. The outer diameter of second mounting tube 120 is smaller than the inner diameter of first mounting tube 110. Consequently, an annular gap 140 is formed between the inner wall of first mounting tube 110 and the outer wall of second mounting tube 120. Annular gap 140 extends axially through first accommodating chamber 110, extending along opposite sides of first accommodating chamber 1101. As will be appreciated, if oil seeps into first accommodating chamber 1101, it will accumulate in annular gap 140 and cannot enter second accommodating chamber 1201, thereby preventing corrosion of the cable.

[0065] In some embodiments, the main body 1301 extends axially along the first mounting tube 110, the rotary cavity 1302 passes through the opposite sides of the main body 1301 along the axial direction of the main body 1301, and a plurality of first connecting holes 1303 are provided on the main body 1301, and the plurality of first connecting holes 1303 are distributed in sequence along the circumference of the main body 1301; the side wall of the first mounting tube 110 has a plurality of second connecting holes 1102, the second connecting holes 1102 are opposite to the first connecting holes 1303, and the main body 1301 and the first mounting tube 110 are connected by threaded fasteners that are sequentially passed through the first connecting holes 1303 and the second connecting holes 1102.

[0066] 1 , 3 , 5 , and 7 , the body 1301 of this embodiment extends axially along the first mounting tube 110. A partial rotation cavity 1302 of the body 1301 wraps around the end of the first mounting tube 110. A plurality of first connection holes 1303 are spaced apart along the circumference of the body 1301. The first connection holes 1303 extend radially through the wall of the rotation cavity 1302. Correspondingly, a plurality of second connection holes 1102 are provided on the outer wall of the first mounting tube 110. The plurality of second connection holes 1102 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first mounting tube 110. The second connection holes 1102 extend radially along the first mounting tube 110. It is readily understood that the number and positions of the first connection holes 1303 and the second connection holes 1102 correspond to each other. The body 1301 and the first mounting tube 110 are connected via threaded fasteners extending through the first connection holes 1303 and the second connection holes 1102. That is, the body 1301 and the first mounting tube 110 are relatively fixedly connected along the radial direction of the first mounting tube 110 .

[0067] Exemplarily, at least one of the first connecting hole 1303 and the second connecting hole 1102 is a threaded hole. Of course, the first connecting hole 1303 and the second connecting hole 1102 can also be threaded holes to cooperate with threaded fasteners to maintain a relatively stable connection between the main body 1301 and the first mounting tube 110.

[0068] Furthermore, the stopper portion 1304 is provided with a limiting groove 1308 and a plurality of third connection holes 1305. The limiting groove 1308 extends axially along the stopper portion 1304 and is recessed along the end surface of the body 1301, facing away from the second mounting tube 120. The end surface of the second mounting tube 120 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 1308 abut axially against the first mounting tube 110. The plurality of third connection holes 1305 are spaced apart circumferentially along the limiting groove 1308. The end surface of the second mounting tube 120 is provided with a plurality of fourth connection holes 1202, which are arranged opposite the third connection holes 1305. The stopper portion 1304 and the second mounting tube 120 are connected via threaded fasteners that pass through the third connection holes 1305 and the fourth connection holes 1202, respectively.

[0069] Still as shown in Figures 1, 3, 5 and 7, the stop portion 1304 extends radially away from the cavity wall of the rotary cavity 1302 along the main body 1301, and the stop portion 1304 abuts against the side wall of the second mounting tube 120 and the end face of the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110, that is, the stop portion 1304 is blocked at the end face of the second mounting tube 120, thereby limiting the axial movement of the second mounting tube 120 along the main body 1301.

[0070] To maintain a relatively stable and fixed connection between the second mounting tube 120 and the first connector 130, the stopper 1304 is provided with a plurality of third connection holes 1305. These holes are spaced apart along the circumference of the stopper 1304 and extend axially through opposite sides of the stopper 1304. Correspondingly, the end surface of the second mounting tube 120 opposite the stopper 1304 is provided with a plurality of fourth connection holes 1202. These holes are spaced apart along the circumference of the second mounting tube 120 and extend axially along the second mounting tube 120. The number and position of the fourth connection holes 1202 correspond to the number and position of the third connection holes 1305. Threaded fasteners are sequentially inserted through the third and fourth connection holes 1305, 1202, thereby maintaining a relatively stable and fixed connection between the first connector 130 and the second mounting tube 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110.

[0071] For example, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the stopper 1304 abuts against the end surface of the second mounting tube 120 via a retaining groove 1308 on one side of the first mounting tube 110 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The spacing between the two opposing groove walls of the retaining groove 1308 along the radial direction of the first mounting tube 110 is sufficient to accommodate the second mounting tube 120. At this point, the groove walls of the retaining groove 1308 abut against portions of the inner and outer walls of the second mounting tube 120. In other words, the end of the second mounting tube 120 is partially engaged with the retaining groove 1308 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The end surface of the second mounting tube 120 abuts against the retaining groove 1308 along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110.

[0072] In order to maintain a stable relative fixed connection between the second mounting tube 120 and the first connecting member 130 , the second mounting tube 120 and the first connecting member 130 are connected by threaded fasteners that pass through the third connecting hole 1305 and the fourth connecting hole 1202 in sequence.

[0073] The structure and connection method of the third connection holes 1305 and the fourth connection holes 1202 in this embodiment have been described in detail in the previous section and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the third connection holes 1305 in this embodiment are spaced apart along the circumference of the limiting groove 1308, and the third connection holes 1305 extend through the limiting groove 1308 along its axial direction on opposite sides.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 130 also includes an extension portion 1306 connected to the main body 1301, the extension portion 1306 extends from the side wall of the main body 1301 along the radial direction of the rotating chamber 1302, the extension portion 1306 has a plurality of fifth connecting holes 1307, the plurality of fifth connecting holes 1307 are distributed in sequence along the circumference of the main body 1301, and the extension portion 1306 and the gear box are threadedly connected through the fifth connecting holes 1307.

[0075] As shown in FIG3 , the first connector 130 in this embodiment further includes an extension portion 1306, which is connected to the body 1301 and extends from the outer wall of the body 1301 along the radial direction of the rotary cavity 1302 toward a side away from the rotary cavity 1302. The extension portion 1306 is used to connect to the gearbox. Specifically, the extension portion 1306 is provided with a plurality of fifth connection holes 1307, which are sequentially connected and distributed along the axial direction of the extension portion 1306. The fifth connection holes 1307 extend through opposite sides of the extension portion 1306 along the axial direction of the body 1301. Correspondingly, the connection area on the gearbox is also provided with connection holes that are opposite to the fifth connection holes 1307 on the extension portion 1306 and are connected via threaded fasteners. This ensures a relatively stable fixed connection between the gearbox cable mounting assembly 100 and the gearbox.

[0076] It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the number of the fifth connection holes 1307, and the number of the fifth connection holes 1307 needs to be reasonably selected in combination with actual installation conditions.

[0077] In some embodiments, the gear box cable mounting assembly 100 further includes a second connecting member 150, the second connecting member 150 and the first connecting member 130 are arranged opposite to each other along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110, and the second connecting member 150 includes a flange body 1501, the flange body 1501 is sleeved on the first mounting tube 110, and the flange body 1501 is connected to the first mounting tube 110 along the radial direction of the first mounting tube 110.

[0078] As shown in Figures 1, 4, and 6, the second connecting member 150 and the first connecting member 130 are arranged opposite each other along the axial direction of the first mounting tube 110. The second connecting member 150 is also a rotating member and includes a flange body 1501 and a flange extension 1503 connected to each other. The flange body 1501 has a flange rotating cavity 1505 extending axially through opposite sides of the flange body 1501. The flange body 1501 is sleeved onto the first mounting tube 110, and the flange rotating cavity 1505 communicates with the second accommodating cavity 1201. The flange body 1501 is provided with a plurality of sixth connecting holes 1502. The sixth connecting holes 1502 extend radially through the wall of the flange rotating cavity 1505 and are spaced apart circumferentially along the flange body 1501.

[0079] Correspondingly, the first mounting tube 110 is provided with a plurality of seventh connection holes 1104, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the first mounting tube 110 and extend radially along the first mounting tube 110. The flange body 1501 and the first mounting tube 110 are connected via threaded fasteners that are sequentially inserted through the sixth connection holes 1502 and the seventh connection holes 1104, thereby connecting the flange body 1501 and the first mounting tube 110 radially along the first mounting tube 110.

[0080] The flange extension 1503 extends from the cavity wall of the flange rotating cavity 1505 along the radial direction of the flange body 1501 toward the side away from the flange rotating cavity 1505, and a plurality of eighth connecting holes 1504 are provided on the flange extension 1503. The plurality of eighth connecting holes 1504 are distributed in sequence along the circumference of the flange extension 1503. The eighth connecting holes 1504 pass through the opposite sides of the flange extension 1503 along the axial direction of the flange body 1501, and the flange extension 1503 and the gear box are relatively fixedly connected through the eighth connecting holes 1504.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , when multiple first mounting tubes 110 are sequentially connected along the axial direction, two adjacent first mounting tubes 110 may be connected via two first connectors 130 or two second connectors 150. When two first connectors 130 are facing each other, the fifth connecting holes 1307 on the two first connectors 130 face each other, and threaded fasteners pass through the two fifth connecting holes 1307 along the axial direction of the first mounting tubes 110, thereby maintaining a stable relative fixed connection between the two first mounting tubes 110 along the axial direction.

[0082] When the two second connecting members 150 are opposite to each other, the eighth connecting holes 1504 on the two second connecting members 150 are opposite to each other, and the threaded fasteners pass through the two eighth connecting holes 1504 along the circumference of the first mounting tube 110 to keep the two first mounting tubes 110 stably relatively fixedly connected along the axial direction.

[0083] To prevent oil from accumulating in the annular gap 140 and to facilitate oil drainage from the annular gap 140, a plurality of oil drain holes 1103 are provided on the sidewall of the first mounting tube 110. The plurality of oil drain holes 1103 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first mounting tube 110. The oil flows through the annular gap 140 and then returns to the gearbox through the oil drain holes 1103.

[0084] In some embodiments, the gearbox cable installation assembly 100 further includes a sealing unit 160, which includes a first sealing ring 1601 and a second sealing ring 1602. The first sealing ring 1601 is sealingly connected between the cavity wall of the first accommodating chamber 1101 and the outer wall of the second installation tube 120, and the second sealing ring 1602 is connected between the cavity wall of the rotary chamber 1302 and the end face of the second installation tube 120. The provision of the first sealing ring 1601 and the second sealing ring 1602 can improve the sealing performance of the gearbox cable installation assembly 100, effectively preventing oil in the annular gap 140 from entering the second accommodating chamber 1201 through the end face of the second installation tube 120.

[0085] Sealing unit 160 also includes a third sealing ring 1603 and a fourth sealing ring 1604. Third sealing ring 1603 is connected between the wall of rotary cavity 1302 and the outer wall of first mounting tube 110, while fourth sealing ring 1604 is connected between the wall of flange rotary cavity 1505 and the outer wall of first mounting tube 110. In other words, the provision of third sealing ring 1603 and fourth sealing ring 1604 improves the sealing between first connector 130, second connector 150, and first mounting tube 110, thereby reducing the ingress of oil into annular gap 140.

[0086] Furthermore, the second sealing ring 1602 is sealed against the end surface of the stopper 1304 and the wall of the second mounting tube 120 ; the cross section of the second sealing ring 1602 is at least one of a circle and a square.

[0087] Referring to Figure 8 , the end of the second mounting tube 120 is positioned within the retaining groove 1308. A second sealing ring 1602 is disposed between the inner sidewall of the second mounting tube 120 and the wall of the retaining groove 1308. Another second sealing ring 1602 is disposed between the outer sidewall of the second mounting tube 120 and the wall of the retaining groove 1308. The provision of two second sealing rings 1602 further improves the sealing between the second mounting tube 120 and the first connector 130. Furthermore, the cross-section of the second sealing ring 1602 in this embodiment is square, further enhancing the sealing of the end of the second mounting tube 120. Similarly, the cross-section of the second sealing ring 1602 in this embodiment may also be circular. Of course, the cross-sectional shape of the second sealing ring 1602 is not limited to the circular or square shapes described above. Any cross-sectional shape of the second sealing ring 1602 that meets the sealing requirements may be used.
