Description

この発明は、風力発電用増速機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a step-up gear for wind power generation.

一般に風力発電には風力発電用風車が使用される。風力発電用風車は、羽根部(翼)が風を受けて回転し、この回転が入力軸(ブレード軸)を介して増速機に伝達され、さらにこの増速機から出力軸を介して発電機に伝わるものである。すなわち、風力発電には増速機が使用される。そして、増速機としては、遊星歯車機構を使用したものがある。   Generally, a wind turbine for wind power generation is used for wind power generation. In wind turbines for wind power generation, blades (blades) rotate by receiving wind, and this rotation is transmitted to the gearbox through the input shaft (blade shaft), and further, power is generated from the gearbox through the output shaft. It is transmitted to the machine. That is, a speed increaser is used for wind power generation. And there exists a thing using a planetary gear mechanism as a gearbox.

ところで、耐用年数の長い風力発電用増速機の場合、回転軸部のシールにオイルシールを使用することなく、すきまシールを使用するのが一般的である。しかしながら、この場合、増速機ボックス(ケース)のオイルレベルがすきまシール部より上部に配置できない。そのため、上部側のギヤ噛合部の潤滑が十分行われない不都合があった。そこで、従来では、サンギヤ等に貫孔を設け、この貫孔を介して、潤滑が十分行われないギヤ噛合部に潤滑油を供給するようにしたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
実開平6−14597号公報(第2−3頁、図2)
By the way, in the case of a wind power step-up gear having a long service life, it is common to use a clearance seal without using an oil seal for the seal of the rotating shaft. However, in this case, the oil level of the gearbox (case) cannot be arranged above the clearance seal portion. Therefore, there has been a disadvantage that the upper side gear meshing portion is not sufficiently lubricated. Therefore, conventionally, there has been a sun gear or the like in which a through hole is provided, and through this through hole, lubricating oil is supplied to a gear meshing portion where lubrication is not sufficiently performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-14597 (page 2-3, FIG. 2)

しかしながら、サンギヤに貫孔を設けた場合、この貫孔によってサンギヤの強度が低下して、耐久性に劣ることになる。しかも、サンギヤに複雑な貫孔を設けるための加工を必要として、製造工程の増加を招き、生産性に劣ると共に、コスト高となっていた。   However, when a through hole is provided in the sun gear, the strength of the sun gear is lowered by this through hole, and the durability is inferior. In addition, a process for providing a complex through-hole in the sun gear is required, resulting in an increase in manufacturing processes, inferior productivity, and high cost.

この発明は、上記従来の欠点を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、使用される遊星歯車等のギヤ類に対して潤滑油の供給を十分行うことができ、しかも、簡単な構成である風力発電用増速機を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and the object thereof is to sufficiently supply lubricating oil to gears such as planetary gears to be used.

The second injection port 48 and the fourth injection port 58 open along the radial direction of the vertical main body 53, and the opening position of the second injection port 48 is set to one side (the first speed increasing case 10. Part 17 side), and the opening position of the fourth injection port 58 is the other side (second part 18 side of the gearbox case 10). For this reason, the lubricating oil from the fourth injection port 58 can be supplied to the bearing 34 of the output shaft 4. Further, the third injection port 49 opens toward the meshing start portion 40 between the second gear 26 and the gear portion (pinion) 30 of the output shaft 4 meshing with the second gear 26, and as shown by an arrow D in FIG.
