Online monitoring device for torque of output shaft of gear box
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of transmission, in particular to an online monitoring device for torque of an output shaft of a gear box.
Background
The gearbox is applied in many fields, and the yaw gearbox or the variable pitch gearbox used by the wind generating set has similar functions, and mostly transmits the torque of the motor to the yaw bearing or the variable pitch bearing, so that the engine room or the blades rotate around the rotation axis until the engine room or the blades reach the position required by a control system.
In a pitch gearbox, which is common today, as shown in fig. 1-3, a pitch bearing 10 is arranged between a blade 20 and a hub 30. An outer ring 101 of the variable pitch bearing 10 is fixedly connected with the hub 30 through bolts, and an inner ring 102 of the variable pitch bearing 10 is connected with the blade 20 through a stud. The casing 40 of the pitch gearbox is bolted to the hub 30 by means of a flange structure 50. The variable pitch gearbox is driven by a motor 60, the motor 60 drives an output shaft 70 to rotate through a transmission assembly in a driving box body 40, an output gear 80 arranged on the output shaft 70 is meshed with gear teeth arranged on an inner ring 102 of the variable pitch bearing 10, and then the inner ring 102 of the variable pitch bearing 10 is driven to rotate, so that the position of the blade 20 is freely adjusted.
The yaw gearbox or the pitch gearbox (in the case of no special indication, the gearbox is simply referred to as the gearbox hereinafter) has complex and changeable working conditions, is influenced by airflow, and has uncertainty on the actual load borne by the gearbox. The existing torque monitoring data are mostly from a control system of the motor, and the collected torque value is from the motor. The output shaft is used as the most direct bearing part in the yaw and pitch system, and due to factors such as the transmission efficiency of the gear box, the gap existing in an internal gear train and the like, the load acting on the output shaft, particularly the instantaneous fluctuation load, cannot be accurately measured, and the structural design of the yaw and pitch system (including the yaw and pitch gear box) is directly influenced, so that the cost and the reliability are influenced. Excessive surplus of design strength can lead to waste and bring cost increase, and insufficient bearing capacity is easy to cause structural failure if the design strength is too low.
