Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical engineering, in particular to a large-scale rotating mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of ship propulsion, wind power generation, aerospace, industrial equipment, engineering machinery, energy equipment, etc., large rotating mechanisms are widely used as core transmission components in equipment operation, material handling, precision positioning and other scenarios. Large rotating mechanisms in the existing technology usually adopt an integral carrier and rotating body structure. The carrier is mostly a single column and the rotating body is mostly an integral cylinder. This structure faces problems such as large processing size, difficult precision control, and inconvenient transportation and installation during manufacturing. Especially for ultra-large equipment, the processing cost and installation difficulty of the integral structure are significantly increased.

[0003] In terms of drive system design, traditional large-scale rotating mechanisms mostly use a single drive device. Once a drive component, such as a motor or transmission part, fails, it is easy to cause the entire mechanism to shut down. The reliability is insufficient, and the transmission structure is fixed. It is difficult to flexibly select an appropriate transmission method according to different load, speed and other working conditions, and its applicability is limited.

[0004] In terms of support and rotation stability, the existing support structure is usually not designed with upper and lower segments. The positioning and rotation connection between the rotating body and the carrier relies on a single bearing structure, which makes it difficult to balance the weight distribution of large rotating bodies. Problems such as overload and vibration during rotation are prone to occur. The rotating body may deviate under high-speed or heavy-load conditions, affecting the operating accuracy and life of the mechanism.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, such as difficulty in manufacturing and installation, insufficient drive reliability, poor transmission adaptability, and lack of rotational stability, there is an urgent need to provide a large-scale rotating mechanism with optimized structure, and to improve the practicality and reliability of the mechanism through technical means such as modular segmented design, redundant configuration of main and standby drives, and diversified transmission structure selection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a large rotating mechanism has a carrier 1, a support 2, a rotating body 3 and a driving device. The carrier 1 is arranged inside the large rotating mechanism, and the support 2 supports the rotating body 3 on the carrier 1. The rotating body 3 rotates around the carrier 1 when the large rotating mechanism is running. The driving device is arranged on the carrier 1 to drive the rotating body 3 to rotate. The driving device includes a motor, which is fixed to the carrier 1 through a motor connecting seat. A main driving wheel 6 is provided on the motor shaft, and a driven wheel 7 is provided on the support 2. The main driving wheel 6 drives the driven wheel 7 to rotate through the transmission member 5. The rotation of the driven wheel 7 drives the support 2 and the rotating body 3 to rotate together;

[0031] For double insurance and balance, the drive device can be set as a main drive device 4 and a backup drive device 13. They are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrier 1, with their rotation axes substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating body 3. A backup driving wheel 14 is provided on the motor shaft of the backup drive device 13.

[0032] The transmission ratio of the main drive device 4 and the transmission ratio of the backup drive device 13 can be set to a different transmission ratio.

[0033] When the main drive device 4 fails, a PLC control system is provided to complete seamless switching of the backup drive device 13 in a short time (within 2 seconds).

[0034] To facilitate manufacturing and installation, the carrier 1 is a column, which can be configured as an upper column, an intermediate column and a lower column;

[0035] The rotating body 3 is a large cylinder, which can be divided into an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder for ease of manufacture and installation;

[0036] The transmission member 5 is a belt transmission structure, a gear transmission structure or a chain transmission structure;

[0037] The outer ring of the support member 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating body 3 as a whole, and the inner ring of the support member 2 is fixedly connected to the center sleeve 15 as a whole. The center sleeve 15 is sleeved on the carrier body 1 and is positioned with the carrier body 1 through the second load-bearing bearing 11. It is rotatably connected to the carrier body 1 through the first rotary bearing 8 and the second rotary bearing 9. The inner ring of the second rotary bearing 9 and the center sleeve 15 are positioned by the first load-bearing bearing 10.

[0038] To facilitate manufacturing and installation, and for balance, the support member 2 can be divided into an upper support member and a lower support member.

[0039] The carrier 1 is a column, which is divided into an upper column, a middle column and a lower column.

[0040] The rotating body 3 is a large cylinder, which is divided into an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder.

[0041] The height of the carrier 1 is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the height of the rotating body 3, which can form an optimal supporting torque ratio.

[0042] The driven wheel 7 , the support member 2 and the center sleeve 15 are fixedly connected as a whole. The driven wheel 7 and the support member 2 should be located between the first rotary bearing 8 and the second rotary bearing 9 in the height direction.

[0043] Among them, the rotation axes of the lower bearing 12, the second load-bearing bearing 11, the first rotary bearing 8, and the second rotary bearing 9 basically coincide with each other. The inner ring of the lower bearing 12 is fixed on the carrier 1, and the outer ring is fixed to the lower support rod 16. The lower support rod 16 is fixed to the lower part of the rotating body 3.

[0044] Working principle: The motor of the main drive device 4 is started, and the motor is fixed to the carrier 1 through the motor connector. The motor shaft drives the main driving wheel 6 to rotate. The main driving wheel 6 drives the driven wheel 7 on the support 2 through a transmission member 5 such as a belt, gear or chain. Since the outer ring of the support 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating body 3, the rotation of the driven wheel 7 drives the support 2 and the rotating body 3 to rotate around the carrier 1. When the main drive device 4 fails, the backup drive device 4 starts, takes over the driving task, and maintains the operation of the mechanism. The segmented design of the carrier 1, rotating body 3 and support 2 facilitates manufacturing and installation. The load-bearing bearing and the rotating bearing ensure the positioning and rotational connection of the support 2 and the carrier 1, ensuring the balance and stability of the rotation process.

[0045] In summary, the large-scale rotating mechanism of the present invention provides an innovative solution and has broad market application prospects.

[0046] It should be noted that the parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented by using the existing technology.

[0047] In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," "set," and "provided with" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components.
