연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A system and method for lubricating gears in a wind turbine blade pitch drive are provided, wherein the pitch drive comprises a drive pinion gear with gear teeth that engage a pitch bearing gear coupled to a respective wind turbine blade. A grease distributor is configured to mount onto and rotate with the pinion gear, and is configured to deliver grease from an external grease supply to at least one valley defined between adjacent teeth of the pinion gear in a contact area of the pinion gear with the bearing gear without the distributor contacting inter...

1. A system for lubricating gears in a wind turbine blade pitch drive, wherein said pitch drive comprises a drive pinion gear with gear teeth that engage a pitch bearing gear coupled to a respective wind turbine blade, said system comprising: a grease distributor configured to mount onto and rotate coaxial with said pinion gear; andsaid distributor comprising at least one channel member having a length and height profile so as to extend longitudinally along a gear tooth valley defined between adjacent teeth of said pinion gear without contacting inter-engaging teeth of said bearing gear and configured to deliver grease from an external grease supply to the gear tooth valley defined between adjacent teeth of said pinion gear in a contact area of said pinion gear with said bearing gear without said channel member contacting inter-engaging teeth of said bearing gear. 2. The gear lubricating system of claim 1, wherein said distributor comprises a hub configured for receipt of grease from the external grease supply, the channel member in fluid communication with said hub, said channel member having an exit orifice defined therein such that grease supplied under pressure to said hub is distributed via said channel member to the gear tooth valley while said pinion gear remains engaged with said bearing gear. 3. The gear lubricating system of claim 2, wherein said grease distributor is variably positionable on said pinion gear such that said channel member is positionable in different tooth valleys of said pinion gear. 4. The gear lubricating system of claim 3, wherein said hub is configured for direct receipt of grease from an external grease supply such that grease is forced directly from said hub into said channel member. 5. The gear lubricating system of claim 2, comprising a plurality of said channel members circumferentially spaced around said hub, each of said channel members in fluid communication with said hub. 6. The gear lubricating system of claim 5, wherein a respective said channel member is disposed within each tooth valley of said pinion gear. 7. The gear lubricating system of claim 5, further comprising a restrictor disposed within said hub, said restrictor configured to allow passage of grease to said channel members within a defined circumferential sector, and to block passage of grease to said channel members not within said defined circumferential sector. 8. The gear lubricating system of claim 7, wherein said restrictor is variably positionable relative to said hub so as to change said defined circumferential sector without repositioning said grease distributor on said pinion gear. 9. A system for lubricating gears in a wind turbine blade pitch drive, wherein said pitch drive comprises a drive pinion gear with gear teeth that engage a pitch bearing gear coupled to a respective wind turbine blade, said system comprising: a grease distributor configured to mount onto and rotate with said pinion gear;said distribution configured to deliver grease from an external grease supply to at least one valley defined between adjacent teeth of said pinion gear in a contact area of said pinion gear with said bearing gear without contacting inter-engaging teeth of said bearing gear;wherein said distributor comprises a hub configured for receipt of grease from the external grease supply, and a plurality of channel members circumferentially spaced around said hub and in fluid communication with said hub, said channel members having a length and height profile so as to extend longitudinally along the gear tooth valley without contacting inter-engaging teeth of said bearing gear, said channel members having an exit orifice defined therein such that grease supplied under pressure to said hub is distributed via said channel members to the gear tooth valley while said pinion gear remains engaged with said bearing gear; andwherein said channel members are releasably engaged to said pinion gear for retaining said distributor on said pinion gear. 10. The gear lubricating system of claim 9, wherein said channel members are radially biased against said pinion gear. 11. The gear lubricating system of claim 10, wherein said channel members comprise a retaining lip defined on a longitudinal end thereof, said retaining lips engaging against an end face of said pinion gear. 12. A method for lubricating gears in a wind turbine blade pitch drive, wherein the pitch drive comprises a drive pinion gear with gear teeth that engage a pitch bearing gear coupled to a respective wind turbine blade, the method comprising: injecting grease into valleys defined between adjacent teeth of the pinion gear with a device mounted onto and coaxial with the pinion gear and having a member that resides in the respective valleys during normal power-production operation of the wind turbine without the member contacting gear teeth of the pitch drive. 13. The method for lubricating of claim 12, comprising injecting the grease into only select valleys of the pinion gear. 14. The method for lubricating of claim 13, wherein the select valleys are at the position of the pinion gear engaged with the bearing gear when the wind turbine blades are at the 0° position. 15. The method for lubricating of claim 13, wherein the device is selectively moved around the pinion gear to lubricate different ones of the valleys. 16. The method for lubricating of claim 12, comprising injecting the grease into all of the valleys of the pinion gear with the device.
