System and method for removing or installing a main shaft of a wind turbine
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for removing or installing a main shaft of a drivetrain assembly of a wind turbine to and from a nacelle installed atop a wind turbine tower. The rail system includes at least one support component configured to support the main shaft. Further, the support component is configured horizontally with respect to the main shaft. The rail system also includes at least one sliding component connected between the support component and the main shaft. Thus, the sliding component is configured to move horizontally with respect to the support component so as to slide the main shaft between an installed position and an uninstalled position.
ROTOR BLADE HUB FOR A WIND TURBINE, AND WIND TURBINE HAVING SAME
Provided is a rotor blade hub for a wind turbine. The rotor blade hub includes a connecting portion for torque-transmitting coupling of the rotor blade hub to a main shaft of the wind turbine. The rotor blade hub has a single-stage transmission which is non-rotatably mounted to the rotor blade hub at the drive input side and has the connecting portion at the drive output side.
Hollow forging process for main shaft of large wind turbine generator
A hollow forging process for main shaft of large wind turbine generator, wherein, comprising the following steps as: the first step of cutting off the dead head and the bottom of an ingot; the second step of upsetting and punching a hole; the third step of drawing-out; and the fourth step of local upsetting, drawing-out and shaping-up. In the fourth step, the forged piece is shaped up by local upsetting and drawing-out through a turnplate. The hollow forging process for main shaft created by the invention can save the costs for enterprise to purchase large equipment and makes it possible to forge the main shaft of large wind turbine generator with a free forging oil press with a smaller size.
Assemblies for wind turbines and methods
The present disclosure relates to an assembly comprising a rotor hub, a generator rotor, and a shaft for supporting the generator rotor on a stationary frame, wherein the rotor hub is configured to be removable from the generator rotor and the shaft without disassembling the generator rotor from the shaft. The present disclosure further relates to methods for assembly.
Circular propulsion jet compressor-engine
Circular propulsion jet compressor-engine, through a circular combustion chambers propellants spheroidal geometry set, generates a tangential push the turning radius and therefore resulting angular momentum about the shaft of the circle in rotation. This impulse is the consequence of the principle of action-reaction, the violent expansion that occurs inside the combustion chamber, when burning mixtures of fuel and oxidizer at high pressure, or by merging a small mass of H.sub.2, encapsulated and simultaneously subjected to very high pressure, constant electromagnetic fields and high-frequency electric fields and high peak intensity. The high pressure on the oxidant or H.sub.2, is achieved using the force resulting from the centripetal acceleration shaft rotating about a significant mass of a piston, solid or liquid and alternatively or cyclically. The gases and vapors produced are cooled inside the engine. In the combustion reaction, water vapor is condensed and water obtained by, pollution is retained inside the engine.
Joint member for wind power generation apparatus, and wind power generation apparatus
A joint member for a wind power generation apparatus includes: a first rotor integrally rotating with an output shaft of a speed increaser; a second rotor integrally rotating with an input shaft of a generator; and a one-way clutch provided between the first rotor and the second rotor. A torsion promoting portion being readily twisted and elastically deformed is provided at a portion of the first rotor where power is transmitted from the output shaft to the one-way clutch.
SHAFT FOR A WIND TURBINE
A wind turbine includes a main shaft rotatable around a rotation axis. The main shaft includes a first piece axially extending along the rotation axis, at least a second piece axially extending along the rotation axis, the second piece being axially adjacent to the first piece, a plurality of connections for fixing the second piece to the first piece.
Centering a Line in a Rotating Shaft
The device for centering a line in a rotating hollow shaft comprises a tube, the wall of which is slotted over the entire tube length, substantially parallel to the tube axis, and which can be deformed for the temporary widening of the slot for the radial introduction of a line into the tube. Bristle tufts distributed in the longitudinal and circumferential direction are arranged on the outer side of the tube for support on the inner wall of the rotating hollow shaft. In the wind turbine having a rotor rotatably supported on a gondola around a rotor shaft formed as a hollow shaft, wherein at least one line is led from the rotor through the rotor shaft to the gondola, the line guidance in the rotor shaft is implemented as an arrangement according to the invention.
Methods and Devices for Accessing a Drive Drain of a Wind Turbine with Elastic Coupling, Wind Turbine and Methods
Methods and devices for accessing a drive train for a wind turbine utilize an elastic coupling. The drive train comprises a rotor shaft configured to be driven by a rotor about a main axis and a support structure including a bearing housing surrounding at least one bearing and supporting the rotor shaft for rotation about the main axis to constrain other movements of the rotor shaft. A gearbox input shaft and housing supports the gearbox input shaft for rotation while constraining other movements of the gearbox input shaft. The gearbox input shaft is coupled to the rotor shaft by an elastic coupling comprising a first coupling part rigidly connected with the rotor shaft, a second coupling part rigidly connected with the gearbox input shaft, and elastic elements positioned between the first and the second coupling part to provide a single joint between the rotor shaft and the gearbox input shaft.
Convectors
A convector includes a rotor having a shaft extending along an axis of rotation, and a plurality of discs offset from one another along the axis of rotation and mechanically coupled to and rotatable with the shaft. The convector also includes a stator having a plurality of plates offset from one another along the axis of the shaft. Each plate of the plurality of plates defines a through-hole configured to receive the shaft and an opening configured to receive a corresponding disc of the plurality of discs. Rotation of the shaft causes each disc to rotate at least partially within the opening defined by the corresponding plate, and relative to the corresponding plate.
