摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a braking device for a wind turbine (10) having a vertical axis (20), including a flap (30) capable of rocking about a rocking pin (40), said flap (30) having a center of gravity (50) that is positioned outside the rocking pin (40). The braking device of the invention is characterized in that the braking device (1) further comprises a torque limiter (60) having a triggering torque (70), in that the flap (30) is mounted on said torque limiter (60), and in that said torque limiter (60) is capable of enabling the rocking of said flap (30) at a rocking angle (80) about said rocking pin (40) for a rotational speed of said flap (30) about said vertical axis (20) that induces a torque that is greater than or equal to the triggering torque at the torque limiter (60).</p> |
