Publication number: 20240125362Abstract: A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium vibrations in a hydraulic system, has a membrane within a bore of a housing, which membrane is exposed to the pressure medium on its one side and faces a gas-filled cavity inside the housing on its other side, the bore of which is closed by means of a plug. The membrane, in conjunction with the plug and a hollow-cylindrical support body, forms an independently handleable, functionally pre-testable assembly, for which purpose the membrane is substantially cup-shaped, and the support body extends into it.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Continental Teves AG & Co. OHGInventors: Uwe Greiff, Volker Grings, Axel Hinz, Christoph Wagner, Stefan Schmitt, Petra Fischbach-Borazio

Patent number: 9752560Abstract: A lightning protection device for a wind turbine generator system includes at least a blade arrester, a down lead of a blade connected to the blade arrester, a lightning-proof element of a pitch bearing, a lightning-proof element of a rotor bearing. The lightning-proof element of the pitch bearing is arranged at the blade root, with one end connected to the down lead of blade and the other end connected to the lightning-proof element of the rotor bearing. The lightning protection device forms a lightning current conducting path passing through a cavity of the pitch bearing, a hollow of a rotor shaft and a cavity of the rotor bearing. A wind turbine generator system having the above mentioned lightning protection device is provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: XINJIANG GOLDWIND SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventors: Jinpeng Huang, Uwe Hinz, Qiang Li, Junhao Ge, Wei Yang

Patent number: 7276808Abstract: Disclosed is a tower for a wind power station comprising a machine pod disposed on the tower and a rotor mounted on the machine pod so as to be rotatable about an essentially horizontal axis. Said rotor is provided with at least one blade. The tower is composed of a tubular upper section that is connected to a lower section which is embodied as a lattice tower in a transition zone. The lattice tower encompasses at least three corner posts. The upper tower section forms at least one sixth of the entire tower. The cross section of the lower tower section below the transition zone is greater than the cross section of the upper tower section while the transition zone is configured such that the cross section of the lower tower section is adjusted to the cross section of the upper tower section so as to optimize power flux.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Repower Systems AGInventors: Roland Weitkamp, Uwe Hinz, Stephan Schäfer

Patent number: 7244097Abstract: A device for the targeted adjustment of the angle of incidence of a rotor blade (13) which is rotatably mounted, at the foot (14) thereof, on a hub (12) of a rotor (11) of a wind power installation (10). The device includes a gearing, a driving toothed wheel (21, 41) that meshes with the gearing (20, 40), and a lubricating device. The lubricating device, due to a temporary displacement of the driving toothed wheel (21, 41) from an operating position into a lubricating position, can be engaged with a defined point of the gearing (20) or the driving toothed wheel (41), respectively previously engaged with the driving toothed wheel (1) or the gearing (20, 40), so as to transfer lubricant.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2004Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Repower Systems AGInventors: Uwe Hinz, Ernst Wilhelm Ramundt
