    摘要: A braking force measuring method for a wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine includes a ring gear, a yaw drive device driving a pinion meshing with the ring gear to make the wind turbine turn, and a brake device that prevents the nacelle from turning in the yaw direction by pressing a friction body against the ring gear. The method includes: braking the ring gear by the brake device; measuring a load on a rotating shaft of the pinion that mesh with the braked ring gear; determining a maximum value of the load during a time period when input torque is applied to the pinion, the input torque being applied with the nacelle held still and until the friction body begins to slip and the nacelle begins to turn in the yaw direction; and converting the determined load to the braking force.

    摘要: A rotation driving mechanism for windmill (1) includes an annular track part (2), a rotation driving part (11), and a plurality of swinging parts (15). The annular track part (2) is disposed on one of a base-side structure and a rotation-side structure, and has a circumferential wall part (4) and first teeth (7). The rotation driving part (11) is fixed on the other of the base-side structure and the rotation-side structure. Each swinging part (15) has a swinging part body (16a) and second teeth (16b). When a rotating shaft (13) of the rotation driving part (11) is rotated so that the swinging parts (15) are swung with maintaining a predetermined phase difference thereamong, the swinging parts (15) are relatively moved with respect to the annular track part (2).

    摘要: A wind turbine drive system includes a plurality of drive devices, a state quantity detection unit, a ring gear braking portion, and a control unit. The plurality of drive devices are provided in a first structure, and a ring gear is provided in a second structure. Each of the drive devices includes a motor drive portion and a speed reducing portion. The state quantity detection unit detects a load between a meshing portion of each of the drive devices and the ring gear. When a degree of variation in the load among the drive devices is outside a permissible range, the control unit performs a first control process of controlling the motor drive portion to prevent an increase in the degree of variation in the load and/or a second control process of controlling the ring gear braking portion.

    摘要: A backlash measuring method is provided for measuring backlash at a plurality of different times. The backlash measuring method includes: a rotation amount calculating step of braking a ring gear relative to a second portion while contact between a target tooth and the ring gear achieved in a contacting step is maintained, causing a target pinion to rotate toward a second side in a rotation direction opposite to the first side with a driving force less than a braking force applied to brake the ring gear relative to the second portion until the target tooth touches the ring gear at a tooth surface facing the second side, and calculating an amount of rotation of the target pinion; and a measuring step of measuring backlash between the ring gear and the target pinion based on the amount of rotation of the target pinion calculated in the rotation amount calculating step.
