Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of hydro-generators, and in particular to a segmented laminated yoke with an inter-segment wind guide structure of the yoke. Background Art

[0002] The single-stage capacity of large-scale hydroelectric generators has been increasing, and has now reached the million-kilowatt level. It can continuously and stably output a large amount of electric energy for a long time. As a key equipment of a hydropower station, its performance directly affects the overall operating efficiency and stability of the power station. The rotor part of the generator is the main component for energy conversion and torque transmission. The yoke, as one of the important components of the generator rotor, is an important part of the generator magnetic circuit and a structural component for fixing the magnetic poles. At the same time, the ventilation groove in the yoke is an important part of the generator ventilation system. The cold air flows through the gap between the magnetic poles and the stator part through the rotor yoke wind groove, and the return air is used to achieve a circulating cooling effect. Due to the requirements of high power and high energy output, the rotor part of large-scale hydroelectric generators is larger in size and weight, the structure is more complex, and the generator has higher requirements for the cooling system. The yoke of a large hydroelectric generator is stacked with high-strength steel plates and divided into two sections, which can effectively reduce eddy current losses and improve the efficiency of the generator. At the same time, the segmented form can effectively control the stability of the overall structure and facilitate installation, transportation and maintenance. However, the segmented laminated yoke structure in the currently operating large units needs to meet the conditions of segmented installation, so a large gap is generated between the yoke segments, which reduces the air gap pressure between the segments and makes it easier for cold air to circulate in this gap, thereby affecting the ventilation path of air flowing through the yoke, reducing the efficiency of air flow, making the cooling effect uneven, and easily causing local stator wire rods and core temperatures to overheat. If the stator part does not dissipate heat evenly, it may deform, thus affecting the operating stability and service life of the generator. Therefore, improving the ventilation efficiency of the segmented laminated yoke and optimizing the air flow path are important directions for current research. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, it is urgently needed for the present invention to disclose a segmented laminated yoke with a stable structure and an inter-segment air guiding structure that is easy to install. The technical solution of the present invention is specifically described as follows: the present invention consists of a yoke punching sheet, an upper yoke pressure plate, an inter-segment air guiding structure, a lower yoke pressure plate, a ventilation slot sheet, a yoke tightening screw, a nut, an adjustment gasket, a locking block, a yoke key, a key structure, a brake ring, and a wind shield structure. The yoke punching sheets are staggered and stacked and fastened with the upper yoke pressure plate and the ventilation slot sheet through a yoke tightening screw and a nut to form an upper section of the laminated yoke. The yoke punching sheets are staggered and stacked and fastened with the inter-segment air guiding structure, the lower yoke pressure plate, and the ventilation slot sheet through a yoke tightening screw and a nut to form a lower section of the yoke. The yoke key is driven into the two sections of the yoke and fastened to the rotor bracket. The key structure fixes the yoke key. The brake ring is assembled at the lower end of the yoke through the yoke tightening screw, the nut, and the locking block to form a whole. The windshield structure is located at the upper end of the magnetic yoke and is welded to the windshield of the rotor bracket.

[0004] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with a yoke inter-segment wind guide structure, the yoke punching sheet is fan-shaped, and a T-tail groove is processed at the outer diameter for connection with the pole T-tail. A small inter-pole dove-tail groove is processed between the T-tail grooves to connect the inter-pole connection device to form a passage between each pole. A keyway is processed at the center line of the T-tail groove on the inner diameter of the punching sheet, and a pole key is driven into the keyway to prevent the pole punching sheet from being offset during the operation of the unit and affecting the stability of the unit. Four rows of screw holes are opened on the yoke punching sheet for connecting and fixing each punching sheet.

[0005] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with an inter-segment wind guide structure of the yoke, the structures of the upper yoke pressure plate and the lower yoke pressure plate are similar to the yoke punching sheet, and their outer diameter dimensions are slightly smaller than the yoke punching sheet, and their inner diameter dimensions are slightly larger than the yoke punching sheet. The upper yoke pressure plate is respectively processed with a T-tail groove, a small dove-tail groove between poles, a keyway and a screw hole at the same position as the yoke punching sheet, and the size is slightly larger. The lower yoke pressure plate is not processed with a T-tail groove, but a pole keyway is processed at the T-tail position of the yoke punching sheet for driving a pole key to achieve a tight connection between the pole and yoke.

[0006] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with an inter-segment wind guide structure of the yoke, the inter-segment wind guide structure is welded by an upper yoke pressure plate and an "L"-shaped wind guide belt. The "L"-shaped wind guide belt is symmetrically welded at the inner diameter to form an inlet opening. The inter-segment wind guide structure is installed at the upper end of the lower yoke, used as a pressure plate and fastened to the yoke punching sheet together with the lower yoke pressure plate. Its installation position is between the segments of the segmented yoke, and has a large gap to form a first ventilation groove. After the installation is completed, a support block is welded in the middle position to support the upper yoke. The inter-segment wind guide structure can optimize the ventilation path of the rotor yoke, and the opening design of the wind guide belt is conducive to the installation of the upper yoke.

[0007] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with the yoke inter-segment wind guide structure, the ventilation slots are welded by yoke punching sheets, lining rings, and annular wind guide belts. The lining ring material is a seamless steel pipe, which is lap-welded on the yoke punching sheets and concentric with the screw hole. The distance between the inner diameters of adjacent annular wind guide belts at the cold air inlet is large to reduce air volume loss, and the adjacent distance at the cold air outlet is close to the distance between the magnetic poles. The ventilation slots are installed between the stacked yoke punching sheets to form a second ventilation groove.

[0008] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with an air guide structure between yoke segments, the yoke key consists of a yoke convex key, a yoke sub-key, and a reinforcing key. The yoke convex key and the yoke sub-key are driven into the keyway connected to the rotor bracket by hot keying, and the installation tightness is ensured by adjusting the gasket. The key structures cooperate with each other to fix the position of the yoke key to prevent axial movement. The reinforcing key is a pair of inclined wedges, which are driven into the keyway not connected to the rotor bracket to tighten the yoke, and the excess part is cut off after tightening.

[0009] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with an inter-segment wind-guiding structure for the yoke, the brake ring is welded by a ring plate and a vertical plate. The ring plate is processed with a screw mounting hole at a position concentric with the screw hole of the yoke punching sheet, and is installed on the lower section of the yoke through the yoke tensioning screw, nut, and locking block. The installation method is detachable, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. A lifting hole is processed near the center for easy installation. At the same time, chamfers are provided on both sides to prevent wear between the fixed rings during the operation of the unit. The centrifugal force of the unit operation can act on the lower yoke pressure plate through the vertical plate, and a threaded hole is processed on the inner diameter side of the vertical plate to facilitate the combination of other wind shielding devices.

[0010] In the above-mentioned segmented laminated yoke with an inter-segment wind guide structure of the yoke, the wind shield structure is welded by an annular wind shield and vertical ribs, installed in the gap between the upper end of the yoke and the rotor bracket, and welded to the wind shield of the rotor bracket to increase the air gap pressure here, while preventing the air at the end from flowing backwards here to form vortices, thereby improving ventilation efficiency.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The yoke of the present invention adopts a segmented lamination form, which is divided into two sections, the upper and lower sections, which can effectively reduce eddy current losses and improve generator efficiency. At the same time, it improves the overall stability of the yoke, reduces the difficulties in the installation and transportation of the yoke, and facilitates maintenance and repair.

[0013] 2. The inter-segment part of the segmented laminated yoke of the present invention has an air-guiding structure, which has a blocking effect on the air volume flowing to the gap between segments, can balance the air volume flowing to each ventilation groove, optimize the ventilation path, reduce the air volume loss, improve the air flow efficiency, and enable the air to be blown to the magnetic poles, stator coils and other parts more evenly through each ventilation groove, thereby alleviating the uneven heat dissipation of some stator wire rods and improving the operating stability and service life of the generator.

[0014] 3. In the design of the inter-segment air guide structure of the present invention, taking into account the limitations of the installation space between segments, an opening is provided in the inter-segment air guide structure of the yoke. When installing the lower nut of the upper yoke, the installation tool can directly engage the nut close to the inner diameter through the opening, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of installing the nut, avoid redesigning and producing complex-shaped tools for engagement, and save production costs.

[0015] 4. In the present invention, a windshield structure is welded to the gap between the upper end of the yoke and the rotor bracket, and a threaded hole is opened on the vertical plate of the bottom brake ring to facilitate the fixing of other windshield structures. This design can further reduce the air volume loss, and can also avoid the reverse flow of air at the upper and lower ends to form vortices, thereby improving the ventilation efficiency.
