[0002] At present, when the rotor of a nuclear power plant generator is being maintained after the rotor is removed, a large number of scaffolds need to be erected, covered with fireproof cloth, and hot air is blown to dry the rotor of the generator. This work not only fails to achieve the best maintenance effect, but also consumes a lot of man-hours, manpower, and maintenance costs. In addition, nuclear power plants are usually located at the seaside, and the air humidity is relatively high, so it is particularly important to use closed gas maintenance for the rotor of the generator.

[0013] The generator rotor maintenance device for a nuclear power plant is also provided with sealed flexible expansion joints at the SMC hollow flanges on both sides, and the generator rotor air inlet channel is closed by tightening the sealed flexible expansion joints.

[0014] The SMC hollow flange on one side of branch line 1 is connected to the bolt hole of the fan seat ring on the excitation side of the generator rotor through the sealed flexible expansion joint on the same side, so that the compressed air is blown into the excitation side of the generator rotor through branch line 1;

[0015] The SMC hollow flange on one side of branch two is connected to the bolt hole of the fan seat ring on the steam side of the generator rotor through a sealed flexible expansion joint on the same side, so that the compressed air is blown into the steam side of the generator rotor through branch two.

[0016] Two semicircular metal clamps are respectively arranged at the head and tail ends of each sealed flexible expansion joint. The semicircular metal clamps are integrally arranged with the sealed flexible expansion joint on the same side by crimping, and the sealed flexible expansion joint is fastened by a long rod screw.

[0021] S4: Check the wind speed of the radial ventilation holes of the generator rotor windings using an anemometer to ensure that the excitation side and steam side are consistent.
