Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the planetary gear-based speed-up transmission still has shortcomings. For example, the design life of wind power generation is required to be 20-25 years, while the planetary gear transmission, due to the wear and tear of the gears, the life of the planetary gearbox is only about 12 years. Investigations using planetary gearboxes have also been demonstrated, which necessitated the replacement of a gearbox over the lifetime of the wind turbine
The gearbox for high-power megawatt wind turbines weighs about 20 tons. It is not easy and troublesome to replace the gearbox in the air as high as 60-90 meters
Secondly, the transmission efficiency is still not the highest. The efficiency of the first-stage planetary gear is 0.97-0.99. According to the average value of 0.98, if the three-stage planetary gear transmission is used, the total efficiency is only 0.983=0.9412, that is, about 6% of the energy is in the gear transmission. It is lost in the form of heat generated. Taking 2000 kW as an example, about 120 kW is converted into heat, which increases the temperature rise of the lubricating oil in the gearbox
With such a large amount of heat, natural cooling obviously cannot meet the cooling requirements, and an additional cooling system, such as forced air cooling or water-cooled heat exchange, has to be added, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also reduces the overall reliability of the gearbox
Furthermore, the existing planetary gear transmissions are basically single-connected transmissions, and the first and second stages have low speed and high torque, which requires a large modulus of the gears, which also results in a relatively large volume and weight of the speed-up gearbox.
Therefore, the effective life of the existing megawatt-level wind power generator speed-up gearbox does not match the wind power generation equipment, and it is difficult to maintain and replace; the efficiency is low (generally no more than 0.95), and the temperature rise of the lubricating oil is large, and additional cooling measures are required. ;Large volume and weight, difficult installation, is the main problem at present

Embodiment 1

[0023] Embodiment 1: Referring to the accompanying drawings, taking the three-stage speed-up for wind power generation of 2 MW or below as an example, the wind power generator speed-up gearbox of the present invention is composed of two separated boxes 12 and 11 at the front and back, and the front box is 12 has a built-in two-stage double-arc cylindrical herringbone helical gear transmission, and the rear box 11 has a built-in one-stage planetary transmission. The outer side of the input spindle 2 (blade rotating shaft) is coaxially connected with the plate-type propeller hub bushing 1 (the big shaft of the blade and the input shaft of the speed-increasing gear are combined into one), and a large double arc is fixed on the inside of the box Cylindrical herringbone gear 3, gear 3 meshes with two small double-arc cylindrical herringbone gears 4.1 and 4.2 arranged on the intermediate shaft, and each intermediate shaft is coaxially equipped with a large double-arc cylindrical herr...

Embodiment 2

[0024] Embodiment 2: As in Embodiment 1, it is used in a 5-megawatt wind power generator speed-increasing gearbox, with a total of 4 stages of transmission, of which the first three stages are double-arc cylindrical herringbone helical gear transmissions, which are arranged in a gearbox. The first stage is a planetary gear transmission, which is set in another separate gearbox. The transmission ratio of the first three stages is about 3, and the speed is increased to 1500 rpm, and the transmission ratio is 115.

Abstract

The invention relates to the improvement of a speed-increasing gearbox of a wind driven generator, which is characterized in that: a gear transmission has 3 to 4 stages, wherein the last stage is a planetary gear transmission; the former stages are all double-circular-arc cylinder herringbone spiral gear transmissions. Compared with the conventional generally-used speed-increasing gearbox which mainly uses the planetary gear transmission, because the low-speed stages (1 to 3 stages) adopt double-circular-arc cylinder herringbone spiral gears with high transmission efficiency and a subsequent stage adopts the planetary gear transmission, the advantages of the double-circular-arc cylinder herringbone spiral gear transmission and the planetary gear transmission are combined together, thus the effective one-off life is long, the transmission efficiency is high and the volume is small; and moreover, the double-circular-arc cylinder herringbone spiral gear is used for the speed-increasing gearbox of the wind driven generator for the first time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the improvement of the speed-up gearbox of the wind power generator, in particular to a speed-up gearbox of the wind power generator with long effective life, higher transmission efficiency, small volume and light weight. Background technique [0002] The wind turbine speed-up gearbox is mainly to transmit the low-speed high-torque generated by the blades to the generator through the gear speed-up, and reduce the volume of the generator by increasing the speed of the generator. The speed-increasing gearbox for wind power generation is installed in the air at 60-90 meters, and it is required to run continuously for a long time. It requires a long life and matches the overall life of the wind turbine as much as possible; secondly, the transmission efficiency should be high to reduce useful power loss and reduce The calorific value reduces the requirements of the cooling system, so that the temperature rise of the lubricating oil ...
