Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of wind turbine generators, in particular to a downwind wind turbine generator suitable for medium and small-sized fans.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, large fans have basically used variable-pitch and variable-speed regulation and thus show the advantages of stable power output and more reliable operation of the fans. As for small fans, because blades are smaller, the blades can generate the smaller force under the action of wind, which can not enable centrifugal hammers to twist and can not achieve the variable control effect. Therefore, there are more wind turbine generators with stern rudder yawing in upwind of the small fans, not only is output unstable, but also the failure problems caused by poor speed-limiting effect of the fans under strong wind are more and the operation is unreliable.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention aims at providing a downward variable pitch wind turbine generator with simple structure, high efficiency and reliability for solving the above technical insufficiencies.


In order to achieve the purpose, the invention designs a downwind variable pitch wind turbine generator which mainly comprises a wheel hub, a main shaft, a generator, a frame and a base, wherein a synchronizing disc is arranged in the wheel hub, the synchronizing disc is connected with a fan blade connection slewing bearing through two joint bearings which are in mutual butt joint, a reciprocating rod connected with a sliding pair is arranged in the main shaft, one end of the reciprocating rod is connected with the synchronizing disc, the other end of the reciprocating rod is connected with a displacement sleeve, an electric push rod is arranged in the frame, the displacement sleeve is connected with the electric push rod, and the electric push rod is electrically connected with a signal sliding ring mounted in the base. Therefore, the downwind variable pitch wind turbine generator can make responses rapidly and further realize the effects of pitch control and shutdown.


The wheel hub is connected with the main shaft through a connecting flange, the main shaft is connected with a main bearing seat and an auxiliary bearing seat through a self-aligning roller bearing and fixed on the frame through an elastic support block, and the main shaft is connected with the generator through an elastic shaft coupling. The structure is compact, and the operation is more smooth and reliable.


A slewing bearing is arranged between the frame and the base, and a power transmission sliding ring is arranged in the base. The frame can rotate 360 degrees relative to the base so as to adapt to all wind directions.


The downward variable pitch wind turbine generator obtained by the invention is mainly suitable for medium and small-sized fans, a main body is simple and compact in structure, safe and reliable, and the downward variable pitch wind turbine generator is provided with the elastic support block so that deflection and vibration caused by the rotation of a wind wheel can not be transferred onto the generator and the frame in a rigid manner and the operation is more smooth and reliable. A pitch control mechanism of the downward variable pitch wind turbine generator can control three blades to change pitch simultaneously and keep the pitch-changing amplitude consistent. The pitch control mechanism can enable each blade to change the pitch to a certain negative angle, realize the shutdown of the downward variable pitch wind turbine generator and keep the shutdown state under harsh conditions, such as hurricane and the like. The frame can rotate 360 degrees relative to the base so as to adapt to all wind directions. In addition, the downwind variable pitch wind turbine generator is further provided with an anemometer and a controller, so that the reaction is more sensitive, the downwind variable pitch wind turbine generator can be suitable for wind direction and wind speed, which change suddenly, the effects are better and a range of applicable regions is wider.
