Definitions
- the invention relates to a vibration damper according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Vibration absorbers are used in wind turbines to reduce vibration of the transmission. Vibrations are associated with mechanical loads and can therefore lead to gearbox damage. If the frequencies of the vibrations are in the audible range, undesirable noise emissions occur.
- the invention is based on the object of making available a vibration damper with improved properties compared to the solutions known from the prior art.
- the vibration damper is designed to be fixed to the housing on a transmission or a component of the transmission.
- the component is preferably a gear housing or a component fixed to the housing, i.e. a component that is rigid, i.e. without the possibility of a relative movement in which the gearbox is fixed.
- a vibration damper is a vibration damper whose mass or damper mass is elastically fixed on one component or on several components that are rigidly connected to one another, ie without the possibility of relative movement.
- a vibration damper generally has a damper mass and one or more elastic-specific suspensions. By means of the suspensions, the damper mass is fixed in a component whose vibrations are to be dampened. In the present case, the damper mass is fixed to the component of the transmission by means of the elastic suspensions.
- the elastic suspensions can be elastomer bushings, for example.
- the sockets are each fixed in a hole in the damper body and screwed to the gearbox.
- the damper mass has a first group of segments. Segments denote parts of the absorber mass that are physically separated from each other. Two of the segments are not connected to one another in one piece.
- the segments of the first group are rotationally symmetrical to one another with respect to an axis of rotation and / or the central axis of the transmission. This means that the segments of the first group can be mapped onto one another by rotating around the axis of rotation and / or central axis by at least an angle that is less than 360 °.
- the segments of the first group are preferably not rotationally symmetrical to the axis of rotation and / or the central axis. This implies that the set of angles of mappings which the segments map onto one another is discrete.
- the segments can preferably be mapped to one another by rotation exclusively by angles that amount to 60 ° / n or an integral multiple of 360 ° / n , where n denotes the number of segments. This implies that the segments or two segments each are structurally identical.
- the above-mentioned axis of rotation is the axis of rotation of a rotatable component of the transmission. It can, for example, be the axis of rotation of a gearwheel, a shaft or a planet carrier.
- the above-mentioned center axis is a straight line on which at least two center points of a component of the transmission, such as a ring gear, lie.
- a geometric center of gravity of the component in a cutting plane which is directed orthogonally to the straight line is referred to as the center.
- the segments are rigid, i. connected to one another without the possibility of relative movement. Due to the rigid connection, the segments work together as a single damper mass.
- the rigid connection between two segments is made by connecting means that run between the segments and bridge a gap between the segments. This means that the connecting means are each rigidly connected to two segments.
- the segments are structurally identical. Each two segments are therefore identical.
- two components are structurally identical if they match in their physical parameters - especially with regard to their material and geometric properties - within the scope of the manufacturing tolerances that occur.
- the damper mass has a second group of segments.
- the segments of the second group have the same characteristics as the segments of the first group.
- the above statements therefore apply mutatis mutandis to the segments of the second group.
- the segments of the second group are rotationally symmetrical to one another with respect to the above-mentioned axis of rotation and / or central axis, preferably rigidly connected to one another, with a connecting means preferably connecting two segments of the second group rigidly to one another, and preferably of identical construction.
- first group and the second group or the segments of the first group and the segments of the second group are arranged axially offset to one another. This means that between the segments of the first group pe and the segments of the second group runs a plane oriented orthogonally to the above-mentioned axis of rotation and / or central axis.
- the training makes it possible to modify the size of the damper mass.
- the size of the absorber mass can be adapted to that which occurs in operation
- a segment of the first group and a segment of the second group are rigidly connected to one another.
- the segments of the first group and the second group form a single damper mass.
- one segment of the first group and one segment of the second group are each structurally identical.
- the Til germasse thus consists of structurally identical segments.
- the identical segments reduce variant-related costs.
- the vibration damper is preferably part of a transmission that also has a ring gear.
- the ring gear can be part of a planetary stage, which also has one or more planet gears, a planet carrier and a sun gear.
- the Pla designated wheels are rotatably mounted in the planet carrier mesh with the ring gear and / or the sun gear.
- At least two of the three components sun gear, planet carrier and ring gear are rotatably mounted about a common axis of rotation.
- the third component is preferably fixed to the housing.
- the axis of rotation around which the at least two components are rotatably mounted is preferably the axis of rotation mentioned at the beginning.
- the vibration damper is fixed on the ring gear.
- This fixation is, as described above, elastic and is preferably carried out by means of
- the ring gear is screwed or joined to a housing of the transmission by means of one or more screws or dowel pins.
- the screws or dowel pins also serve for fixing of the vibration absorber.
- the vibration damper is therefore screwed or joined to the ring gear with the same screws or dowel pins with which the ring gear is screwed or joined to the housing.
- the absorber mass 101 shown in FIG. 1 has four structurally identical segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d.
- the segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d are arranged rotationally symmetrical. They can be mapped onto one another by rotating them through an angle of 90 °.
- a connecting plate 105a, 105b, 105c, 105d which rigidly connects the segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d, is arranged between two segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d.
- the connecting plate 105a connects the segments 103a, 103b to one another, the connecting plate 105b the segments 103b, 103c, the connecting plate 105c the segments 103c, 103d and the connecting plate 105d the segments 103d, 103a.
- the connecting plates 105a, 105b, 105c, 105d are screwed to the respective segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d.
- the segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d have bores 107 for fixing in a gear. In the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures, there are four bores 107 per segment 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d.
- the fixing in the transmission is illustrated in detail in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 2 shows a segment 103a with its bores 107.
- the bores are arranged in a circle around the same axis to which the segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d are rotationally symmetrical.
- Screws 201 protrude into the bores 107. These are the screws with which a ring gear is screwed to a transmission housing.
- Elastomer bushings are fixed in the bores 107. These are not omitted in Fig. 2 for the sake of better illustration.
- the elastomer bushings in turn are screwed with the screws 201. In this way, there is an elastic connection between the ring gear and the segment 103a.
- the remaining segments 103b, 103c, 103d are fixed in the ring gear in the same way.
- Each segment 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d forms, as shown in FIG. 3, with further segments a segment packet 301a, 301b, 301c, 301d.
- the segments of each segment packet 301 a, 301 b, 301 c, 301 d are arranged axially offset from one another. As a result, the respective bores 107 of the segments 103a, 103b, 103c, 103d are aligned.
- each segment packet 301 a, 301 b, 301 c, 301d is fixed in the ring gear with four sockets.
- two segments of adjacent segment packets 301 a, 301 b, 301 c, 301 d are fixed in one another by means of connecting plates (not shown in FIG. 3).
