The present invention discloses a gap monitoring method and device for the hoisting of a hydro-
turbine generator rotor, and relates to the field of hydro-
turbine generators. The method comprises: moving the rotor to the top of the
stator pit, so that the center of the rotor and the center of the
stator are initially aligned; collecting the first distance between the
stator and the rotor, and when any of the first distances is less than a preset value, stopping the hook drop, and adjusting the center of the rotor until the rotor drops to the preset calibration position of the stator; collecting the first distance and the second distance between the stator and the rotor, and calculating the minimum real-
time distance between the rotor and the stator, and when the minimum real-
time distance is less than a preset value, adjusting the center of the rotor and then continuing to drop the hook until the rotor falls onto the frame
brake in the stator pit. The method can monitor the gap during the rotor hoisting process, and calculate the current
minimum distance between the rotor and the stator based on the monitoring results, which not only enhances the accuracy of the determination, but also greatly saves manpower and avoids the risk of personnel operation.
