[0003] In the prior art, the grounding device adopts a combination of a grounding carbon brush and a braided brush braid, both of which are in contact with the main shaft of the generator at the same time. When the grounding carbon brush fails to work, the braided brush braid can still be used to offset the electrostatic voltage generated on the main shaft of the generator to ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0004] However, the braided brush braid contacts the generator shaft by virtue of its own gravity. The contact pressure between the braided brush braid and the generator shaft is relatively small, and the corresponding contact area is also relatively small, which causes the resistance at the contact point between the braided brush braid and the generator shaft to increase, which is not conducive to the transmission of current.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the first elastic member 3 is an elastic pressing plate, and the elastic pressing plate is arranged on the side of the brush bag body 2 away from the generator shaft.

[0038] In addition, as an alternative implementation, the first elastic member 3 may also be a spring, the spring is perpendicular to the brush bag body 2, and the brush bag body 2 is pushed by the spring to contact the engine shaft.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the elastic pressing plate is installed on the bracket 1 through the first connecting member 7, and one end of the brush bag body 2 is clamped between the elastic pressing plate and the bracket 1.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the bracket 1 is an insulating bracket, and the bracket 1 is non-conductive. It can be a wooden bracket, a plastic bracket, etc. The bracket 1 can prevent the current on the carbon brush body 4 from flowing back into the generator housing, ensuring the flow direction of the current and ensuring the grounding effect.

[0044] In addition, as an alternative implementation, a layer of rubber pad may be provided between the bracket 1 and the generator housing, and the rubber pad also plays an insulating role.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the bracket 1 has a brush groove 8, and the carbon brush body 4 is installed in the brush groove 8. In this embodiment, the brush groove 8 has a directional opening, and the brush groove 8 can make the carbon brush body 4 be stably installed without shaking. In addition, the carbon brush body 4 contacts the generator main shaft under the action of its own gravity and the second elastic member 5, and the contact pressure is relatively large, and there will be no sparking phenomenon.

[0046] In addition, as an alternative implementation, a handle may be provided at one end of the carbon brush body 4 , and a thread may be provided on the handle, and the handle may be threadedly connected to the bracket 1 .

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the second elastic member 5 is a plug-in type constant pressure spring, one end of the plug-in type constant pressure spring is inserted into the brush groove 8 and abuts against the side of the carbon brush body 4 away from the generator main shaft, and the plug-in type constant pressure spring is installed by plugging, with one end inserted into the brush groove 8, which makes installation and disassembly more convenient without removing the carbon brush body 4.

[0048] In addition, as an alternative implementation, the second elastic member 5 may also be a coil spring, one end of which abuts against the inner top wall of the brush groove 8 , and the other end of which abuts against the carbon brush body 4 .

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the bracket 1 includes a first shell 9 and a second shell 10 that are detachably connected, and a brush groove 8 is provided in the second shell 10. The first shell 9 is used to be connected to the generator shell. When the carbon brush body 4 needs to be maintained or replaced, it is only necessary to remove the second shell 10 without removing the entire device, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the second shell 10 is installed on the first shell 9 through the second connecting member 11. The second connecting member 11 can be a bolt. After passing through the second shell 10, the bolt is threadedly connected to the first shell 9. The bolt has a self-locking function and has a good fixing effect.

[0051] In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the second connecting member 11 can also be a pin, one end of the pin is passed through the second shell 10 and inserted into the first shell 9, a channel perpendicular to the pin is set in the first shell 9, a fixing rod is installed in the channel, and the fixing rod is inserted into one end of the pin.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, in the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment, the brush bag body 2 is arranged at one end of the bracket 1, and the carbon brush body 4 is arranged at the other end of the bracket 1. The two are respectively installed on the end faces at both ends of the bracket 1. The end faces are flat, the fitting area is larger, and the installation is more stable.

[0053] The working principle of the generator main shaft grounding device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] The elastic pressure piece pushes the brush bag body 2 to contact the main shaft of the generator, and the plug-in constant pressure spring pushes the carbon brush body 4 to contact the main shaft of the generator. When the main shaft rotates at high speed, the shaft current generated by the shaft voltage flows to the grounding point through the brush bag body 2, the carbon brush body 4, and the grounding lead 6, preventing the bearing oil film from being broken down after the shaft voltage reaches a certain value, or the shaft current from being generated due to the potential difference and the formation of a path with other bearing components, which will corrode the shaft and erode the bearing.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
