[0002] The collecting ring, also known as a slip ring, is an important equipment component of a generator set; the collecting ring is fixed on a rotating shaft and is in sliding contact with a carbon brush when the generator set rotates, so as to transmit excitation current to the excitation winding in rotation, and the carbon brush and the collecting ring are the transmission channel of the excitation voltage and the excitation current of the generator set and are also the key contact components of the rotating part and the stationary part of the generator set. The operation stability of the carbon brush and the collecting ring directly affects the establishment of the magnetic field of the generator and the generation of electric energy, and ensuring the reliable operation thereof is an important task for realizing the safe and stable operation of the generator set.

[0003] Since the collecting ring is operated in a high-speed rotating environment for a long time, the carbon brush is in sliding contact with the collecting ring, and a large current is transmitted, so that the surface roughness of the collecting ring is required to be high, and Ra is not greater than 1.6 mu m; in addition, a spiral groove is formed on the outer surface of the collecting ring to adapt to the heat dissipation requirement of a large current; in daily operation, the contact surface of the collecting ring is damaged due to factors such as electric corrosion and wear, and defects such as pits are generated, which threatens the safe and stable operation of the generator; the traditional processing method for the defects on the surface of the collecting ring of the collecting ring includes slight polishing and turning of the collecting ring; however, the method cannot fundamentally solve the problem and also causes the outer diameter of the collecting ring to gradually decrease, and the outer diameter of the collecting ring is reduced after multiple treatments, so that the collecting ring needs to be replaced; therefore, a laser cladding repair method for the defects on the surface of the collecting ring of a hydroelectric generator is needed to solve the above problems.

Pay attention to whether the protective gas and powder feeding gas flow is normal during the cladding process, and pay attention to whether the powder output is normal; d. After the cladding is completed, the program automatically ends, and the laser and powder are automatically stopped; the robot is set to manual mode.

4. The method for laser cladding repair of the hydroelectric generator ring surface defects according to claim 3, characterized in that, In the laser cladding process, the measures to prevent edge collapse include: A separate layer is added at the edge using the above cladding steps a~d to ensure sufficient size, and then a subsequent subtractive processing means is used to process the edge into an angular edge shape; The dust protection measures include: Before laser cladding, a special fireproof cloth material with dustproof and fireproof functions is used for protection, and other areas including spiral grooves are shielded to prevent powder from falling; after laser cladding, a dust collector is used to clean the required area to remove residual metal powder.

5. The method for laser cladding repair of the hydroelectric generator collector ring surface defects according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S8, the detection of the operation results includes appearance detection, process temperature monitoring, PT detection, appearance size detection and roundness detection.
