Description

本発明は風力発電機のヨーブレーキパッドに関する。 The present invention relates to a yaw brake pad for wind power generators.

一般に風力発電機は図1に示すように、地中に埋設した基礎1にタワーを立設し、タワー2の上端部にナセル3がヨーブレーキ装置4を介して略水平面内で旋回可能に設置されている。 Generally, as shown in FIG. 1, a wind power generator has a tower erected on a foundation 1 buried in the ground, and a nacelle 3 is installed at the upper end of the tower 2 so as to be able to turn in a substantially horizontal plane via a yaw brake device 4. It is

ナセル3には放射状に延びるブレード5を備えたハブ6が略水平な回転軸線の周りに回転可能に組み付けられている。 A hub 6 having radially extending blades 5 is attached to the nacelle 3 so as to be rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation.

ヨーブレーキ装置4には、特開平8-82277号公報に開示されているように、ブレーキディスクと、ブレーキディスクを上下から挟むブレーキパッド及びブレーキパッドを駆動する油圧装置が内蔵され、油圧でブレーキパッドをブレーキディスクに圧接することによりナセル3が制動されて旋回不能に固定される。 As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-82277, the yaw brake device 4 includes a brake disc, a brake pad sandwiching the brake disc from above and below, and a hydraulic device for driving the brake pad. is pressed against the brake disc, the nacelle 3 is braked and fixed so as not to turn.

特開平8-82277号公報JP-A-8-82277

従来の風力発電機では、ヨーブレーキパッドに樹脂系のものが用いられている。樹脂系のヨーブレーキパッドは、グリスや油圧装置の作動油が付着すると、付着したグリスや作動油が吸着され、組織内にまで浸透する。組織に浸透した油分は脱脂洗浄剤を使用しても表面の油分が除去できるだけで、内部の油分は除去できない。そのため、ヨーブレーキパッドの摩擦係数が低下し、制動力が下がるので、強風に煽られるとナセル3が動いてしまい、それに伴いヨーブレーキパッドの摩耗の進行が早くなる。そのためヨーブレーキパッドの交換頻度が高く、風力発電機のランニングコストが増加する。 In conventional wind power generators, resin-based yaw brake pads are used. When grease or hydraulic fluid of a hydraulic system adheres to the resin-based yaw brake pad, the adhered grease or hydraulic fluid is adsorbed and permeates into the tissue. The oil that has permeated the tissue can only be removed from the surface using a degreasing detergent, but the internal oil cannot be removed. As a result, the coefficient of friction of the yaw brake pads decreases and the braking force decreases, so that the nacelle 3 moves when it is blown by a strong wind, which accelerates the wear of the yaw brake pads. Therefore, the frequency of replacement of the yaw brake pads is high, and the running cost of the wind power generator increases.

本発明はかかる問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、耐久寿命が長く、ランニングコストの低減が可能な風力発電機のヨーブレーキパッドを提供することを目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a yaw brake pad for a wind power generator that has a long service life and can reduce running costs.

本発明は、複数枚のブレードを取り付けたロータヘッドが回転可能に組み付けられ、基礎に立設されるタワーの上端に旋回可能に設置されるナセルに制動を加えてナセルを固定する風力発電機のヨーブレーキパッドであって、
金属成分としてCuが50~70重量%、Feが10~20重量%、Znが10重量%未満、Mnが5重量%未満、
セラミックス成分としてSiCが10重量%未満、
潤滑材としてCが10重量%未満の割合で金属成分とセラミックス成分及び潤滑材を混合した粉末原料を加圧成型して焼結したことを特徴とする。
The present invention is a wind power generator in which a rotor head with a plurality of blades is rotatably assembled and a nacelle is rotatably installed on the upper end of a tower erected on a foundation by applying braking to fix the nacelle. A yaw brake pad,
50 to 70% by weight of Cu, 10 to 20% by weight of Fe, less than 10% by weight of Zn, and less than 5% by weight of Mn as metal components;
less than 10% by weight of SiC as a ceramic component;
It is characterized by press-molding and sintering a powder raw material in which a metal component, a ceramic component and a lubricant are mixed at a ratio of less than 10% by weight of C as a lubricant.

そして、好ましくは前記金属成分の混合割合を50~80重量%にする。
また、好ましくは、前記セラミックス成分がアルミナ又はシリカを含むとともに、セラミックス成分の混合割合を15重量%未満にする。
さらにまた、好ましくは、前記潤滑材が二硫化モリブデンを含むとともに、潤滑材の混合割合を10重量%未満にする。
Then, the mixing ratio of the metal component is preferably 50 to 80% by weight.
Also, preferably, the ceramic component contains alumina or silica, and the mixing ratio of the ceramic component is less than 15% by weight.
Furthermore, preferably, the lubricant contains molybdenum disulfide, and the mixing ratio of the lubricant is less than 10% by weight.

本発明に係るヨーブレーキパッドは基材がCuやFe等の金属材料から成るので、油分によって変性することがない。また、加圧成型して焼結するので、組織が緻密になり、油分が浸透し難い。そのため、脱脂洗浄剤で簡単に表面の油分を除去できるので、長期に亘り摩擦係数が安定し、耐久寿命が長く、風力発電機のランニングコストの低減が可能となる。 Since the base material of the yaw brake pad according to the present invention is made of a metallic material such as Cu or Fe, the yaw brake pad is not denatured by oil. In addition, since the material is sintered by pressure molding, the structure becomes dense and the oil hardly permeates. Therefore, the surface oil can be easily removed with a degreasing agent, so that the coefficient of friction is stable over a long period of time, the durable life is long, and the running cost of the wind power generator can be reduced.

以下に本発明を説明するに、図2には本発明の一実施例に係る焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドの組成を示す。焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドは、図2に示す組成の金属粉末とセラミックス粉末及び潤滑材を混合した粉末原料を加圧成型し、焼結して製作されたものである。図3に、焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドの物性を示す。また、図4に焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドと従来の樹脂系摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドの摩擦特性を比較して示す。さらにまた、図5に焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドの摩擦特性を示し、図6に樹脂系摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドの摩擦特性を示す。 To explain the present invention, FIG. 2 shows the composition of a yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material according to one embodiment of the present invention. A yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material is manufactured by press-molding and sintering a powder raw material obtained by mixing metal powder, ceramic powder, and lubricant having the composition shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows physical properties of a yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material. Also, FIG. 4 shows a comparison of friction characteristics between a yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material and a conventional yaw brake pad made of a resin friction material. Furthermore, FIG. 5 shows the friction characteristics of a yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material, and FIG. 6 shows the friction characteristics of a yaw brake pad made of a resin friction material.

図2に示す組成の焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドは、図4のグラフから明らかなように、樹脂系摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドに比べ約4倍の高い摩擦係数を有する。 As is clear from the graph of FIG. 4, the yaw brake pad made of the sintered friction material having the composition shown in FIG. 2 has a coefficient of friction approximately four times higher than that of the yaw brake pad made of the resin-based friction material.

焼結摩擦材製のヨーブレーキパッドは、焼結により組織が緻密になっているので、油分が浸透し難い。そのため、脱脂洗浄剤で簡単に表面の油分を除去できるので、図5のグラフに示すように、油分除去によって油分の付着していない状態時の摩擦係数と同等までに回復させることができる。そのため、長期に亘り摩擦係数が安定するので耐久寿命が長く、風力発電機のランニングコストの低減が可能となる。 A yaw brake pad made of a sintered friction material has a dense structure due to sintering, so it is difficult for oil to permeate. Therefore, since the oil on the surface can be easily removed with a degreasing agent, as shown in the graph of FIG. Therefore, the coefficient of friction is stabilized over a long period of time, so the durable life is long, and the running cost of the wind power generator can be reduced.

一方、樹脂系摩擦材のヨーブレーキパッドでは油分が組織まで入り込むため脱脂洗浄剤を使用してヨーブレーキパッドの表面の油分を除去しても、図6のグラフに示すように摩擦係数が油分の付着していない状態時の摩擦係数と同等までに復帰することはない。 On the other hand, in yaw brake pads made of resin-based friction materials, oil penetrates into the tissue, so even if the oil is removed from the surface of the yaw brake pad using a degreaser, the coefficient of friction remains low as shown in the graph of FIG. The coefficient of friction does not return to the same level as in the non-adhered state.

ヨーブレーキパッドとして用いるに好適な焼結摩擦材の組成の範囲を図7に示す。
組成範囲は、金属成分としてCuが50~70重量%、Feが10~20重量%、Znが10重量%未満、Mnが5重量%未満、
セラミックス成分としてSiCが10重量%未満、
潤滑材としてCが10重量%未満の割合で金属成分とセラミックス成分及び潤滑材を混合することが好ましい。
なお、図1及び図7におけるその他の金属としては、Ni,Cr,Wが、その他のセラミックスとしてアルミナ、シリカ等を挙げることができる。また潤滑材には二硫化モリブデン等を含めても良い。
FIG. 7 shows the range of compositions of sintered friction materials suitable for use as yaw brake pads.
The composition range is 50 to 70% by weight of Cu, 10 to 20% by weight of Fe, less than 10% by weight of Zn, and less than 5% by weight of Mn as metal components.
less than 10% by weight of SiC as a ceramic component;
It is preferable to mix the metal component, the ceramic component, and the lubricant at a ratio of less than 10% by weight of C as the lubricant.
Incidentally, examples of other metals in FIGS. 1 and 7 include Ni, Cr, and W, and examples of other ceramics include alumina, silica, and the like. Also, the lubricating material may include molybdenum disulfide or the like.

そして、好ましくは金属成分の混合割合を50~80重量%にする。金属成分が50重量%以下ではブレーキ材としての強度が著しく低下する。一方。金属成分が80重量%以上では、過剰強度となり、製造コストが増大する。 Then, the mixing ratio of the metal component is preferably 50 to 80% by weight. If the metal content is less than 50% by weight, the strength as a brake material is remarkably lowered. on the other hand. If the metal component is 80% by weight or more, the strength becomes excessive and the manufacturing cost increases.

また、好ましくは、セラミックス成分の混合割合を10~15重量%にする。
10重量%より少ないと十分な研磨性が得られず、摩擦係数が安定しないことにより、ナセル3の制動保持に悪影響が出る。一方、15重量%より多いとブレーキディスクを損耗させ、摩擦係数が安定しないので、制動保持に悪影響がでる。
Also, preferably, the mixing ratio of the ceramic component is 10 to 15% by weight.
If the content is less than 10% by weight, sufficient abrasiveness cannot be obtained, and the coefficient of friction is not stable, which adversely affects the brake retention of the nacelle 3 . On the other hand, if it is more than 15% by weight, the brake disc is worn and the coefficient of friction is not stable, which adversely affects braking retention.

さらにまた、好ましくは、潤滑材の混合割合を10重量%未満にする。潤滑材の混合割合が10重量%以上となると、ブレーキ材としての強度が低下してしまう。 Furthermore, preferably, the mixing ratio of the lubricant is less than 10% by weight. If the mixing ratio of the lubricant is 10% by weight or more, the strength of the brake material is lowered.
