Abstract
A device for mounting a line pipe in a rotor shaft of a wind turbine. The invention also relates to a rotor shaft for a wind turbine and to the wind turbine itself. The device includes a rotor shaft which is configured to be partially hollow and in which the line pipe is arranged. In the line pipe, different media are routed from a fixed nacelle of the wind turbine in the direction of a rotor hub connected to the rotor shaft. These can be not only electrical lines but also optical waveguides and media lines for gases and liquids. The mounting of the line pipe is achieved by a device having a plurality of eccentric fixing elements, wherein the line pipe is oriented concentrically by rotating the eccentric fixing elements.
