  • Patent number: 8684693
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting the angle of attack of a rotor blade of a wind power plant, comprising a flexible clad drive train that can be moved by a driving wheel, wherein the rotor blade can be rotated about the longitudinal axis thereof by said drive train in opposite directions. According to the invention, the clad drive train can be moved only in a single plane perpendicular to the rotational axis of the driving wheel and engages on a pivot bearing ring forming an end piece of the rotor blade, and the driving wheel is connected to a motor/transmission unit, which is mounted on the hub of the rotor blade, for the individual adjustment of the rotor blade.

  • Patent number: 8536728
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mainframe for receiving a rotor-generator assembly of a gearless wind turbine, wherein the mainframe connects the rotor-generator assembly to the tower of the wind turbine; is rotatably mounted on the tower; and comprises pipe sections arranged at an angle to each other, one of which can be connected to the rotor-generator assembly and the other of which can be connected to the tower. The pipe section that can be connected to the rotor-generator assembly is connected to the lateral surface of the other pipe section by way of an end edge surface facing away from the rotor-generator assembly, and the lateral surface of the other pipe section extends into the region surrounded by the connection.
