[0002] Under the background of global warming, extreme weather events occur frequently, especially the significant increase in summer temperature, which brings unprecedented challenges to the stable operation of power systems. In order to meet the surge in power demand during the peak summer period, large-scale generators must maintain efficient and stable operation. However, in such a high temperature environment, key equipment of power plants such as blower motors and slurry circulation pump motors face severe tests.
[0003] These devices usually work in a harsh environment, with high temperatures and dust, humidity and other unfavorable factors. In particular, high temperatures will accelerate the aging of lubricants, causing lubricant performance to deteriorate, which in turn causes increased bearing wear. In addition, high temperatures will shorten the service life of motor insulation materials and increase the risk of electrical failures. These situations will lead to increased maintenance costs and increase the probability of equipment failure, thus threatening the safety and stability of the entire power generation system. Summary of the invention

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1-5 , is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a water cooling device for a motor bearing, including an outer oil cover, the outer surface of the outer oil cover is modified into a smooth plane, so that the water cooling device 100 can be tightly installed on the outer surface of the outer oil cover; a cooling water path 101 is provided inside the water cooling device 100, and the cooling water path 101 is composed of a plurality of concentric circles, which are arranged along the same central axis and have different radii to increase the contact area between the coolant and the outer oil cover and improve the cooling efficiency.
[0032] This embodiment mainly solves the problem of motor overheating in high temperature seasons by changing the traditional fan air cooling method and introducing water cooling technology. Specifically, a more effective cooling effect is achieved by designing and manufacturing a water cooling device 100 suitable for the blower and the slurry circulation pump motor, and a matching cooling water circuit 101.
[0033] First, the outer oil cover in the traditional motor is subjected to surface modification. The traditional outer oil cover may have convexities or concave depressions, which will affect the fit of the water cooling device 100 therewith, resulting in reduced heat conduction efficiency. Therefore, the outer surface of the outer oil cover is modified into a smooth plane. This improvement allows the water cooling device 100 to be directly installed on the outer oil cover without gaps, thereby ensuring good thermal contact.
[0034] The cooling water channel 101 is composed of a plurality of concentric circles arranged along the same central axis and having different radii. Such a design allows the coolant to flow between various levels, thereby increasing the contact area between the coolant and the outer oil cover.
[0035] This design can significantly improve cooling efficiency by increasing the contact area between the coolant and the outer oil cover. The coolant can take away heat over a larger area, thereby reducing the temperature of the bearing and extending the service life of the bearing.
[0036] More efficient cooling means less coolant can be used to achieve the same cooling effect, which indirectly reduces energy consumption.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Reference Figure 1-5, which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, taking the axis of the water cooling device (100) as the center, the first to fifth concentric circles (C1 - C5) are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The radii of the first to fifth concentric circles are R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 respectively, and satisfy the relational expression: R1 < R2 < R3 < R4 < R5. On the second concentric circle C2, multiple concentric circles are arranged at 45° angular intervals, and their radii are R9.64 and R35.14 respectively. On the third concentric circle C3, multiple concentric circles are arranged at 45° angular intervals, and their radii are R15 and R40.5 respectively. The annular concentric circle space between the second concentric circle C2 and the third concentric circle C3 constitutes a part of the cooling water path 101. The coolant in the cooling water path 101 can flow along concentric circles of different levels, increasing the heat exchange area.
[0039] In this embodiment, taking the axis of the water cooling device 100 as the center, a reference point is set. Starting from this center point, five concentric circles (denoted as C1 to C5) are drawn around, and their radii are R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 in sequence, and satisfy the relational expression: R1 < R2 < R3 < R4 < R5, as Figure 2 shown, R1 - R77.5 < R2 - R124.78 < R3 - R138.5 < R4 - R175 < R5 - R188. These five concentric circles represent different levels of the cooling water path 101, gradually expanding from the inside to the outside, forming a progressive structure, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the coolant.
[0040] At the same time, this structure also simplifies the complexity of the cooling water path 101, making the manufacturing simpler and the cost lower.
[0041] Secondly, on the second concentric circle C2, multiple concentric circles are arranged at 45° angular intervals, and their radii are R9.64 and R35.14 respectively; on the third concentric circle C3, multiple concentric circles are arranged at the same 45° angular intervals, and their radii are R15 and R40.5 respectively; the annular concentric circle space between C2 and C3 constitutes a part of the cooling water path 101. The coolant can flow in this area and increase the heat exchange area by contacting concentric circles of different levels. This not only increases the contact area between the coolant and the outer oil cover but also improves the heat exchange efficiency. Since the coolant can be evenly distributed at each level, it can absorb heat more effectively, reducing the risk of local overheating.
[0042] In a traditional cooling system, hot spots may form in some areas due to uneven distribution of the coolant. However, in the cooling water path 101 of the present invention, the coolant can evenly cover the entire cooling surface, effectively preventing the occurrence of hot spot phenomena and ensuring the temperature uniformity of the entire system.
[0043] Since the present invention can more effectively control the temperature, it avoids equipment damage caused by overheating, thereby extending the service life of mechanical equipment. At the same time, the uniform temperature distribution also helps to reduce mechanical wear and further improve the overall performance of the equipment.
[0044] In addition, the temperature probe of the blower motor bearing was transformed into an external form, so that temperature detection and adjustment can be carried out without disassembling the equipment, which greatly simplifies daily maintenance work. This design not only saves time, but also reduces the potential risks caused by frequent disassembly and assembly of the motor.
[0045] The cooling water pipe is connected to the water cooling device 100 using a hose connector, so that it can be quickly disconnected when maintenance is required without complicated tools or excessive time. This design is convenient for regular maintenance and also for quickly troubleshooting in an emergency.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] Reference Figure 1-5 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment further provides a water cooling device for a motor bearing. The inlet 102 and the outlet 103 of the cooling water circuit 101 are respectively arranged on the second concentric circle C2 and the third concentric circle C3, and the positions of the inlet 102 and the outlet 103 are relatively arranged to ensure the uniform distribution of the coolant in the water circuit. Eight fixing bolt holes 104 with a diameter of R14 are arranged at 45° intervals on the fourth concentric circle C4. The center of the fixing bolt hole 104 is located on the fourth concentric circle C4, and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the fourth concentric circle. The position of the fixing bolt hole 104 corresponds to the preset hole position on the outer oil cover, so that the water cooling device 100 can be firmly fixed on the outer oil cover of the motor bearing.
[0048] The inlet 102 of the cooling water path 101 is arranged on the second concentric circle C2, and the outlet 103 is arranged on the third concentric circle C3. The inlet 102 and the outlet 103 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the coolant can be evenly distributed in the entire cooling path after entering the water path, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and reducing the local overheating problem caused by uneven coolant flow.
[0049] Eight fixing bolt holes 104 with a diameter of R14 are arranged on the fourth concentric circle C4, and these holes are distributed at 45° intervals to ensure their uniform distribution in the circumferential direction. The positions of the fixing bolt holes 104 match the preset hole positions on the outer oil cover of the motor bearing, so that the water cooling device 100 can be firmly installed on the outer oil cover, and it is easy to disassemble and maintain.
[0050] In order to ensure good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, the water cooling device 100 is usually made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. In addition, the material needs to have a certain mechanical strength to withstand the pressure generated during the working process.
[0051] The water cooling device 100 can be processed by precision machining technology, such as CNC machining, to ensure the accuracy of the concentric circles and other key dimensions. For the fixing bolt hole 104, it is necessary to ensure that it accurately corresponds to the preset hole position on the outer oil cover to achieve rapid installation and removal.
