Umklamo kanye nezinto zokwakha ze-Wind Turbine Hub
Ohlelweni lwe-wind turbine, i-hub iyisici esibalulekile esivame ukunganakwa ngoba iningi lokugxila lisezinhlamvini, umbhoshongo, noma i-generator. Eqinisweni, i-hub isebenza "njengenhliziyo yemishini" exhumanisa ama-turbine blades ku-main shaft, idlulisa imithwalo ye-aerodynamic kanye ne-gravitational, futhi isebenza njengendawo yokuhlanganisa yezindlela ezahlukahlukene ezifana nohlelo lwe-pitch (ukulungiswa kwe-blade angle), ama-bearings, kanye nezinzwa. Lesi sihloko sixoxa ngezimiso zokuklama zama-wind turbine hubs, izidingo zomthwalo okumele zibhekane nazo, kanye nokukhetha okuvamile kwezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nokucatshangelwa.
1. Umsebenzi kanye Nesikhundla Sehabhu Ku-Wind Turbine
Ihabhu itholakala ngaphambili kwe-nacelle, inikeza ukuxhumana okuyinhloko phakathi kwe-rotor (ama-blade) kanye ne-drivetrain (umgodi, i-gearbox—uma ikhona, kanye nejeneretha). Kuma-turbine esimanje anama-blade amathathu, ihabhu ngokuvamile inamaphuzu amathathu okufaka ama-blade ahlukaniswe ngama-120°. Kuma-turbine alawulwa yi-pitch, i-blade ngayinye inamathele ku-hub nge-pitch bearing, okuvumela ama-blade ukuthi ajikelezwe ukuze alawule ukuphakamisa, ukulawula amandla, kanye nokuvikela i-turbine emimoyeni enamandla.
Ngaphandle kokuba yisakhiwo esiyinhloko, ihabhu iphinde isebenze "njengesitsha" noma indawo yokuhlala yezingxenye: ama-pitch actuators (ama-hydraulic noma kagesi), izinhlelo zokugcoba, izivalo, kanye nemizila yekhebula kanye ne-sensor. Ngenxa yokuthi isohlangothini olujikelezayo, ihabhu kumele yakhelwe ukuba ibe ncane, iqine, futhi ikwazi ukusebenza ezimweni zezulu ezahlukahlukene—kusukela kumswakama ophezulu, inkungu kasawoti (ogwini lolwandle), amazinga okushisa aphansi, kuya emijikelezweni yokulayisha eyenzeka izikhathi eziyizinkulungwane kuya kwezigidi ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwe-turbine.
2. Imithwalo Esebenza Ku-Hub
Ukwakhiwa kwehabhu akuyona nje indaba "yobukhulu nokuqina," kodwa kudinga ukuqonda okuphelele kokuhlanganiswa kwemithwalo eyinkimbinkimbi. Imithwalo eyinhloko ihlanganisa:
1. Umthwalo we-Aerodynamic ebaleni
Umoya ukhiqiza amandla okuphakamisa nokuhudula adluliselwa esikhungweni. Ukwehluka kwesivinini somoya kanye nokuxokozela kubangela imithwalo eguquguqukayo.
2. Umthwalo wamandla adonsela phansi
Njengoba i-rotor ijikeleza, i-blade ngayinye ishintsha ukuma kwayo maqondana namandla adonsela phansi, okudala umjikelezo wokulayisha oqhubekayo ezinhlanganisweni zehabhu kanye ne-blade.
3. Umthwalo we-Centrifugal
Ukujikeleza kwe-rotor kukhiqiza amandla amakhulu e-centrifugal ezimpandeni ze-blade, adluliselwa esikhungweni. Lo mthwalo uvame "ukudonsa" ama-blade asuke phakathi nendawo.
4. Ukushaqeka kanye nemithwalo emikhulu kakhulu
Lokhu kufaka phakathi izivunguvungu, ukuma okuphuthumayo, ukulahlekelwa yigridi, noma izimo zokusika isivinini somoya. Kulezi zimo, ihabhu lingabhekana nokukhuphuka okukhulu kwe-torque kanye nemithwalo egobile.
5. Umthwalo wokukhathala
Ama-wind turbine aklanyelwe ukusebenza iminyaka engu-20-25, ngakho-ke ihabhu kumele imelane nemijikelezo eminingi yomthwalo ephindaphindwayo. Ukukhathala kuvame ukuba yisici esiyinhloko ekulinganisweni nasekukhethweni kwezinto.
Ngenxa yalokhu kuhlanganiswa kwemithwalo, ama-hub ngokuvamile ahlaziywa kusetshenziswa indlela yokucindezeleka kwe-multiaxial futhi aqinisekiswe kusetshenziswa ukulingisa kwe-finite element analysis (FEA) kanye namazinga okuklama njenge-IEC 61400.
3. Umqondo Wokuklama Isakhiwo Sehabhu
Ngokwejiyometri, ama-hub angahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo eziningana ezijwayelekile:
a. Ihabhu enezingalo ezintathu
Lona umklamo ovame kakhulu we-turbine enama-blade amathathu. Ifana ne-central hub ene-"izingalo" ezintathu lapho kufakwa khona ama-pitch bearings. Ingalo ngayinye kumele imelane nomzuzu wokugoba kusuka kuma-blades ngenkathi iwudlulisela ku-central hub ngasikhathi sinye.
b. Ihabhu elincane eline-pitch housing yangaphakathi
Kuma-turbine anamuhla, uhlelo lwe-pitch luvame ukutholakala ngaphakathi kwe-hub ukuze luvikeleke emvelweni futhi lunciphise ukuphazamiseka kwe-aerodynamic. Ngenxa yalokho, isikhala sangaphakathi kumele sibe sikhulu ngokwanele ngaphandle kokuphazamisa isakhiwo.
c. Ihabhu ye-turbine eqhutshwa ngqo
Kuma-turbine angenawo ama-gearbox, ukwakheka kwe-drivetrain kuhlukile, okwenza ukuhlanganiswa kwe-hub ne-bearing eyinhloko kanye ne-generator kubaluleke kakhulu. Nakuba i-hub ihlala ohlangothini lwe-rotor, imithwalo edluliselwe esakhiweni esiyinhloko ingasatshalaliswa ngendlela ehlukile.
Ekuklameni, onjiniyela bavame ukufuna ibhalansi phakathi kwamandla, ukuqina, isisindo, kanye nokulula kokukhiqizwa nokugcinwa. Isisindo esikhulu sehabhu sandisa umthwalo kuma-bearings amakhulu kanye nohlelo lwe-yaw, kuyilapho isisindo esincane kakhulu sibeka engcupheni yokwehluleka ukukhathala.
4. Izindawo Ezibalulekile Ekuklanyweni Kwezikhumulo
