Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor rotor cooling technology, and in particular to a hybrid ventilation cooling system for a dual-shaft excitation motor. Background Technology

[0002] As the installed capacity of large generators continues to increase, their electromagnetic and thermal loads also increase, resulting in high winding and core temperatures that severely impact the lifespan and safety of the generator-condenser. Therefore, to reduce the temperature of the stator and rotor windings and core, corresponding cooling systems for large generators have been proposed, such as water-hydrogen-hydrogen cooling systems. The principle is that the stator windings consist of solid and hollow strands; water flows through the hollow strands, while hydrogen is filled inside the generator-condenser. To further reduce the rotor winding temperature, secondary slots are created in the rotor core, and radial ventilation grooves are opened inside the rotor windings to allow hydrogen to pass through, thus lowering the rotor winding temperature and reducing the risk of overheating.

[0003] However, because hydrogen cools the rotor windings through the rotor radial ventilation channels, the flow of the hydrogen exiting the channels is affected by rotation, centrifugal force, and turbulent conditions. Therefore, its entry into the stator radial ventilation channels is not linear or regular. Furthermore, water flowing axially through one end of the stator winding nose absorbs heat and exits from the other end. Throughout this process, the water temperature continuously rises until it reaches the outlet. Consequently, the stator winding temperature is highest near the water outlet, resulting in an uneven axial temperature distribution. This can easily cause thermal stress, leading to bending of the hollow strands, insulation aging, and potentially serious accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present invention provide a hybrid ventilation and cooling system for a dual-shaft excitation motor to effectively reduce the stator and rotor temperatures of the generator and ensure the safe and reliable operation of a large-capacity generator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A hybrid ventilation and cooling system for a dual-shaft excitation motor includes:

[0007] Stator core (1), stator radial ventilation groove (2), stepped cross-section secondary slot ventilation duct (3), double radial straight air duct (4), rectangular cross-section secondary slot ventilation duct (5), alternating radial air duct (6), air gap (7) and annular circumferential air gap baffle (8);

The annular circumferential air gap baffle (8) is set in the radial ventilation groove of the stator high temperature zone.

[0010] The stepped cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct (3) is located at the corresponding position of the high temperature zone of the stator. The inlet of the stepped cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct (3) is stepped, that is, the area near the shaft is small and the area near the bottom of the slot is large. The stepped cross-sectional area remains unchanged from the end of the rotor to the center of the rotor.

[0011] The dual radial straight air duct (4) consists of two long rectangular ventilation ducts inside the rotor winding, located at the corresponding position in the high temperature zone of the stator. The bottom of the dual radial straight air duct (4) is connected to the stepped cross-section secondary slot (3), and the upper part of the dual radial straight air duct (4) is connected to the slot wedge ventilation duct.

[0012] The rectangular cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct (5) is located at the corresponding position in the low temperature zone of the stator, and the inlet of the rectangular cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct (5) is rectangular in shape. The rectangular cross-sectional area remains unchanged from the rotor end to the rotor center.

[0013] The alternating radial air duct (6) is located at the corresponding position of the stator low temperature zone. The bottom of the alternating radial air duct (6) is connected to the rectangular cross-section sub-slot (5). The upper part of the alternating radial air duct (6) is connected to the slot wedge ventilation duct (6-3). The alternating radial air duct (6) is formed by alternating arrangement of single radial straight air duct (6-2) and double radial straight air duct (6-1).

[0014] Preferably, the annular circumferential air gap partition (8) is made of thermally conductive, non-conductive and non-magnetic material and is welded onto the stator core (1) stack segment.

[0015] Preferably, the number of steps in the stepped shape is at least 1.

[0016] Preferably, the minimum number of single radial straight air ducts (6-2) and double radial straight air ducts (6-1) in the alternating radial air ducts (6) is 2.

[0017] Preferably, the radial heights of the single radial straight air duct (6-2) and the double radial straight air duct (6-1) are different, and their circumferential widths are different.

[0018] As can be seen from the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention above, the embodiments of the present invention provide a hybrid ventilation and cooling system for a dual-shaft excitation motor, which ensures the hydrogen flow rate in the stator radial ventilation groove, cools the stator winding, and makes the stator winding temperature as uniform as possible along the axial direction; at the same time, it improves the uniformity of flow distribution in the rotor radial ventilation groove, reduces the axial thermal imbalance of the rotor winding, and ultimately reduces the stator and rotor temperatures of the generator, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of a large-capacity generator.

[0033] The dual radial straight air duct 4 consists of two long rectangular ventilation ducts inside the rotor winding, located at the corresponding position in the high temperature zone of the stator. The bottom of the dual radial straight air duct 4 is connected to the stepped cross-section secondary slot 3, and the top is connected to the slot wedge ventilation duct.

Figure 4 As shown. The rectangular cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct 5 is located at the corresponding position in the low temperature zone of the stator. The inlet of the rectangular cross-section auxiliary slot ventilation duct 5 is rectangular in shape; the rectangular cross-sectional area remains unchanged from the rotor end to the rotor center.

[0035] The alternating radial air duct 6 is located at the corresponding position in the low temperature zone of the stator.
