TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of generator excitation structure maintenance, and particularly relates to a generator excitation end carbon brush replacement device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The carbon brush is an important component of the generator excitation system. Due to long-time contact with the high-speed rotating slip ring, the carbon brush is prone to abnormal operating conditions such as sparking, poor contact, and severe wear, which leads to unstable reactive power of the generator, voltage fluctuation, and even loss of excitation of the generator, resulting in phase advance operation or even shutdown of the generator. Therefore, improper or inadequate maintenance of the carbon brush replacement may cause loss of excitation, thereby leading to forced shutdown. Therefore, the carbon brush replacement and maintenance of the generator are particularly important.

[0003] The original generator current collection slip ring is divided into positive and negative parts, each of which has six groups of carbon brushes, each group having three carbon brushes, and a total of 36 carbon brushes. The carbon brushes are supported by brush holders and fastened by U-shaped clamps. The carbon brush braids are fixed to the brush holders by screws. In daily use, the powder generated by the wear of the carbon brushes is attached to the U-shaped clamps and the brush holders. In addition, the carbon brushes have conductivity and lubricity, which greatly hinders the maintenance work. Therefore, a box-type brush holder structure is provided in the prior art, which can replace one group (four) of carbon brushes at a time. However, the box-type brush holder structure needs to rely on special tools provided by the manufacturer for disassembly and replacement of the carbon brushes. A simple operation brush holder with magnetism is used to disassemble the brush box during the replacement of the carbon brushes. During the replacement process, the operator needs to be skilled, and the operator is required to have high skills. After long-term operation of the generator, the magnetic force of the brush holder may be generated, which may cause the brush box to fall off. In addition, the existing technology may cause the carbon brushes to fall out of the brush box during the disassembly of the brush box. SUMMARY

The protective sleeve 14 is outside the third elastic member 13 and is fixedly connected with the handle 11. In the embodiment of the application, the third elastic member 13 is further provided, and the purpose is to ensure that when rotating to the working position, the third elastic member 13 can provide elastic force to the handle 11 in the direction away from the fixed support frame 4, so that the extrusion force exists between the lock head 3 and the lock groove 41, and the clamping between the lock head 3 and the lock groove 41 is more firm. At this time, when switching between the working position and the maintenance position each time, the handle 11 needs to be slightly extruded in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 12 while rotating (the purpose is to extrude the third elastic member 13), and after the switching is completed, the handle is released, so that the third elastic member 13 extrudes the handle 11 outward in the axial direction, so that the clamping between the lock head 3 and the lock groove 41 is more firm.

[0041] With reference to Figure 11 The fixed support frame 4 is internally provided with a sliding groove 42, and the sliding support frame 2 is inserted into the sliding groove 42 and is in sliding connection with the sliding groove 42. In the embodiment of the application, the sliding groove 42 is provided to facilitate the sliding support frame 2 to be slidably inserted into the sliding groove 42. The two sides of the fixed support frame 4 are fixedly connected to the generator excitation end by bolts.

[0042] The working principle of the generator excitation end carbon brush replacement device provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows:

[0043] When the carbon brush needs to be repaired and replaced, the handle 11 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the rotating handle assembly 1 reaches the repair position, at this time, the two small protrusions are rotated to the position corresponding to the two small through grooves, facilitating the pulling out of the lock head 3 from the lock groove 41, at the same time, when the rotating handle assembly 1 is rotated to the repair position, the driving end of the lever assembly 6 is not squeezed, that is, the U-shaped sleeve 61 is popped up upward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 7 and enters the recess 121, so that the driven end of the lever assembly 6 is inserted into the inside of the carbon brush mounting assembly 5, that is, the four protrusions 65 pass through the through holes 512 and are inserted into the carbon brush grooves 511, thereby squeezing the carbon brush and fixing the carbon brush, at this time, when the rotating handle assembly 1 is pulled out as a whole, the sliding support frame 2 will pull out the carbon brush mounting assembly 5 as a whole, which can avoid the carbon brush from falling off during the pulling-out process; when the carbon brush replacement is completed and the entire device needs to be installed, first, the rotating handle assembly 1 (still at the repair position) is held to make the sliding support frame 2 align with the sliding groove 42 of the fixed support frame 4 and insert into the fixed support frame 4, at the same time, the lock head 3 also passes through the lock groove 41, then the handle 11 is rotated to make the rotating handle assembly 1 to the working position, so that the lock head 3 is clamped on the outside of the lock groove 41 to achieve locking, at the same time, after the rotating handle assembly 1 is rotated to the working position, the rotating shaft 12 squeezes the U-shaped sleeve 61, so that the first elastic member 7 is compressed, thereby making the four protrusions 65 retract into the through holes 512 and no longer squeezing the carbon brush, at this time, the carbon brush is squeezed to contact the excitation end of the generator under the action of the second elastic member 52, ensuring the normal work of the carbon brush.
