La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transmission de couple à haut rendement, notamment pour une éohenneThe present invention relates to a high efficiency torque transmission device, in particular for an eohenne
D'une manière générale, une éohenne est constituée d'une tour portant à son sommet une tête mobile en fonction de l'orientation du vent sur laquelle sont montées des pales, libres en rotation sous l'influence du vent, destinées à fournir un couple, c'est-à-dire une certaine force d'entraînement en rotation à un arbre de transmission relié à un multiplicateur afin d'augmenter ce couple avant d'être transmis à un générateurIn general, an eohenne consists of a tower carrying at its top a movable head according to the orientation of the wind on which are mounted blades, free to rotate under the influence of the wind, intended to provide a torque, i.e. a certain driving force in rotation to a transmission shaft connected to a multiplier in order to increase this torque before being transmitted to a generator
Dans ce type de structure d'éolienne, il s'avère que l'arbre de transmission, soutenu par un palier, supporte un couple important, c'est-à-dire plusieurs centaines de kilos newton de sorte que celui-ci doit offrir une forte résistance, entraînant par conséquent un diamètre de l'arbre très important de l'ordre de 450 mm et un poids excessif voisin des 12 TonnesIn this type of wind turbine structure, it turns out that the drive shaft, supported by a bearing, supports a significant torque, that is to say several hundred kilos newton so that it must offer high resistance, consequently resulting in a very large shaft diameter of the order of 450 mm and an excessive weight close to 12 Tons
Par ailleurs de telles caractéristiques nécessaires pour transmettre un couple important, imposent une charge en tête importante et par voie de conséquence une architecture de dimensionnement de la tour excessiveFurthermore, such characteristics necessary for transmitting a significant torque, impose a significant head load and consequently an excessive tower dimensioning architecture.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de transmission de couple à haut rendement pour une éohenne qui permet de résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients précités, notamment un dispositif capable de transmettre un couple élevé sans induire des contraintes excessives dans les différentes liaisons d'entraînementThe object of the invention is to propose a high-efficiency torque transmission device for an eohenne which makes it possible to solve all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks, in particular a device capable of transmitting high torque without inducing excessive stresses in the various links. drive

Ainsi, le satellite 10 du premier train planétaire T1 est porté par un premier arbre 1 1 parallèle à l'arbre de sortie 6 et engrène d'une part avec la couronne d'entraînement 8 et d'autre part avec un pignon 12 solidaire d'un deuxième arbre 13 également parallèle à l'arbre de sortie 6Thus, the satellite 10 of the first planetary gear T1 is carried by a first shaft 11 parallel to the output shaft 6 and meshes on the one hand with the drive ring 8 and on the other hand with a pinion 12 secured to a second shaft 13 also parallel to the output shaft 6
Ce deuxième arbre 13 porte, en outre, le pignon menant 14 du deuxième tram d'engrenage planétaire T2 qui engrène avec un pignon mené 15 porté par un troisième arbre support 16, comme visible à la figure 4 De manière similaire au deuxième arbre 13, le troisième arbre 16 porte le pignon menant 17 du troisième tram planétaire T3 (figure 5) qui engrène avec un pignon mené 18 porté par un quatrième arbre 19 sur lequel est également disposé le pignon menant 20 du quatrième tram planétaire T4 qui engrène avec l'unique pignon 9 solidaire de l'arbre de sortie 6 (figure 6)This second shaft 13 carries, moreover, the driving pinion 14 of the second planetary gear tram T2 which meshes with a driven pinion 15 carried by a third support shaft 16, as visible in FIG. 4 Similarly to the second shaft 13, the third shaft 16 carries the driving pinion 17 of the third planetary tram T3 (FIG. 5) which meshes with a driven pinion 18 carried by a fourth shaft 19 on which is also arranged the driving pinion 20 of the fourth planetary tram T4 which meshes with the single pinion 9 integral with the output shaft 6 (Figure 6)
Selon le rapport de multiplication désiré, c'est-à-dire la vitesse maximale pouvant être délivrée par l'arbre de sortie, le nombre de dents de chaque pignon ainsi que le nombre de trains d'engrenage planétaires sont déterminés par le calcul des rapports d'engrenage Ainsi, selon une variante, la couronne d'entraînement peut engrener avec un satellite d'un premier train d'engrenage planétaire monté sur un premier arbre portant également le pignon menant du second train d'engrenage planétaire supprimant par rapport au premier mode de réalisation un pignon intermédiaireDepending on the desired multiplication ratio, i.e. the maximum speed that can be delivered by the output shaft, the number of teeth of each pinion as well as the number of planetary gear trains are determined by the calculation of the gear ratios Thus, according to a variant, the drive ring can mesh with a satellite of a first planetary gear train mounted on a first shaft also carrying the pinion leading from the second planetary gear train eliminating with respect to the first embodiment an intermediate pinion
On notera que la couronne d'entraînement, de par son diamètre important permet de réduire considérablement le couple transmis par les pales Par ailleurs, cette enveloppe est constituée, par exemple, d'une partie annulaire et de deux flasques disposes à chaque extrémité reposant chacun sur la bague externe dudit roulement conique offrant ainsi une réalisation simple et peu coûteuse de l'enveloppe Cette architecture simple permet en outre de supporter les fortes charges sur l'enveloppeIt will be noted that the drive ring, by virtue of its large diameter makes it possible to considerably reduce the torque transmitted by the blades. Furthermore, this envelope consists, for example, of an annular part and of two flanges disposed at each end each resting on the outer ring of said tapered bearing, thus offering a simple and inexpensive embodiment of the envelope. This simple architecture also makes it possible to support heavy loads on the envelope.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif ressort déjà de la description qui en a été faite ci-dessus et va être maintenant expliquéThe operation of the device is already apparent from the description which has been made above and will now be explained.
Le mouvement de rotation induit par les pales est directement transmis a l'enveloppe et au mécanisme de multiplication de par la structure particulière de l'enveloppe selon l'invention La vitesse de rotation de cette enveloppe est augmentée progressivement par la succession des trains planétaires jusqu'à l'arbre de sortie qui est relié, par exemple, au générateur On a représenté sur la figure 2, par des flèches en gras la transmission du couple au travers du mécanisme de multiplicationThe rotational movement induced by the blades is directly transmitted to the envelope and to the multiplication mechanism by the particular structure of the envelope according to the invention. The speed of rotation of this envelope is gradually increased by the succession of planetary trains up to '' to the output shaft which is connected, for example, to the generator We have shown in Figure 2, by arrows in bold the torque transmission through the multiplication mechanism
On comprend a la lecture de la description ci-dessus que le dispositif de la présente invention est relativement simple à réaliser et permet de s'affranchir du support de pales de l'arbre d'entrée du multiplicateur et de son palier de soutien des structures d'éohennes traditionnelles Ce dispositif permet ainsi de réduire considérablement la charge en tête pour des éohennes de forte puissance Elle peut également être appliquée aux systèmes éoliens de plus faible puissanceIt will be understood from reading the description above that the device of the present invention is relatively simple to produce and makes it possible to dispense with the blade support of the input shaft of the multiplier and its bearing for supporting the structures. of traditional eohennes This device makes it possible to considerably reduce the head load for high power eohennes It can also be applied to lower power wind systems
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec deux modes de réalisation particuliers elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits Although the invention has been described in conjunction with two particular embodiments, it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described
