[0002] As the capacity and load of high-speed hydro-generator units increase, the thrust bearing and upper guide bearing split structure is often used. In this structure, since the thrust bearing is placed on top, the thrust bearing and the upper guide bearing each use an oil groove. In high-speed units, due to the structural limitations of the split oil groove, the upper thrust bearing oil groove is more likely to leak oil on the inner side of the oil retaining pipe.
[0003] The split bearing oil tank structure of high-speed hydro-turbine generators is prone to oil leakage, especially because the upper thrust oil tank has a compact structure and the installation space under the inner oil retaining pipe is small. If a thrust bearing lower sealing cover is installed, the installation space is very difficult. Therefore, how to solve this problem is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0018] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0019] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 A split bearing oil groove sealing structure of a hydro-turbine generator comprises an upper frame 5, an upper guide bearing is arranged inside the upper frame 5, a thrust bearing is arranged outside the upper frame 5, the thrust bearing is arranged at the upper end of the upper guide bearing, and a split upper guide sealing cover 8 is arranged on the upper guide bearing to achieve unified sealing of the upper guide bearing and the thrust bearing.
[0021] In this embodiment, the upper guide bearing includes an upper guide bearing 3, on which an upper oil guide groove 9 is provided, and the thrust bearing includes a thrust bearing 4, on which a thrust oil groove 6 is provided, and on which a thrust oil retaining pipe 7 is also provided.
[0022] In this embodiment, a rotor 1 and a stator 2 are disposed at the lower end of the upper frame 5 , and the rotor 1 and the stator 2 are connected.
[0023] As the capacity and load of high-speed hydro-turbine generator sets increase, the thrust bearing and upper guide bearing split structure is often used. In this structure, since the thrust bearing is placed on top, an oil groove is used for each thrust bearing and upper guide bearing. In high-speed units, due to the structural limitations of the split oil groove, the upper thrust bearing oil groove is more prone to oil leakage on the inside of the oil retaining pipe. The split bearing oil groove structure of high-speed hydro-turbine generators is prone to oil leakage, especially because the upper thrust oil groove has a compact structure and the installation space at the bottom of the inner oil retaining pipe is small. If a thrust bearing lower sealing cover is set, the installation space is very difficult. Therefore, other new structures need to be considered to solve the problems of oil throwing and oil mist on the inside of the thrust bearing. Therefore, the present invention adopts a new design concept, and sets a new type of sealing cover (a split upper guide sealing cover 8) and other components in the upper frame body to seal the thrust bearing and the upper guide bearing oil groove as a whole. At the same time, a sealing ring is set on the upper part of the frame, and an air seal cover and pipeline are provided to achieve the purpose of solving the oil leakage of the thrust bearing oil retaining pipe and the upper guide bearing.
[0024] join Figures 3 to 7 The split upper guide sealing cover 8 is provided with a plurality of oil retaining rings 10, and the split upper guide sealing cover 8 is composed of a plurality of sealing connectors 11, and the cross section of the sealing connectors 11 is L-shaped. Further, the sealing connectors 11 are fixed by connecting bolts 12, and gaskets 13 are also provided between the sealing connectors 11.
[0025] In this new structure, by breaking the traditional design concept of separate oil tank seal, the thrust bearing and the upper guide bearing are sealed uniformly, and at the same time, the difficulty of small space under the thrust bearing and difficult processing is overcome, and the oil retaining ring and the split-flap gas sealing cover are set to effectively solve the problem of difficult installation. At the same time, due to the use of a relatively large sealing cover structure (split-flap upper guide sealing cover 8), the sealing effect is better. The present invention can effectively solve the oil mist problem of the thrust bearing of large-capacity and high-speed units, making the high-speed hydro-generator unit easier to install, safer and more reliable to operate, and effectively solve the problems of bearing oil mist and oil throwing, and will also provide protection for the environmental protection and energy-saving operation of the power station.
