Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection devices, and more particularly to a device for detecting the shaft voltage of a generator rotor. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of a generator, due to the unbalanced alternating magnetic field inside the generator, a voltage may be generated on the generator shaft. When the shaft voltage is sufficient to break down the oil film between the shaft and the bearing, a discharge phenomenon will occur, deteriorating the oil quality for lubrication and cooling. In severe cases, it may cause the bearing bush to burn out, resulting in an accident. Therefore, it is very necessary to check and measure the voltage between the shaft and the bearing of the generator set.
[0003] Currently, the tools used to detect the shaft voltage of a generator rotor are all simply made by workers according to the detection environment. Usually, a carbon brush is tied to one end of a wooden stick, and then the carbon brush is connected to a multimeter. When in use, the wooden stick is held and moved to make the carbon brush contact the generator rotor. However, during the use process, there is a situation where the data is unstable due to unstable force. Since the rated speed of the rotor is relatively high, if the holding angle of the person holding the wooden stick is not good and the force is uneven due to long-term testing, it will cause a large deviation in the waveform, and even a situation where the top of the carbon brush catches fire, causing great interference to the detection result. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent.

At the same time, the measurement personnel can directly judge the contact state through the rolling situation of the carbon brush and make force adjustment to reduce data jump, so as to ensure the stability of the output waveform.

[0017] In some embodiments, the rod body includes at least two nested sleeves. Along the direction of sequential nesting, each adjacent two of the sleeves can slide relative to each other along the central line direction of the rod body. The inner cavity of the innermost sleeve forms the groove, the outermost sleeve is connected to the insulating handle, and one of the at least two sleeves is provided with the perforation.

[0025] The carbon brush 1 is arranged in a cylindrical shape. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the carbon brush 1 is in a cylindrical shape with its central axis extending in the front-rear direction.
[0026] The carbon brush 1 is pivotally connected to the carbon brush holder 2 about the central axis of the carbon brush 1. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the carbon brush 1 is pivotally connected to the carbon brush holder 2 about the front-rear direction.
[0027] The carbon brush holder 2 is connected to the grip 3 and is used for electrical connection with a multimeter.
[0028] For the generator rotor shaft voltage detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon brush is pivotally arranged in the carbon brush holder, and the carbon brush holder is connected to the grip. By holding and moving the grip to make the carbon brush abut against the generator shaft, when the generator shaft rotates, the carbon brush pivots relative to the carbon brush holder under the frictional force of the generator shaft, and the generator shaft and the carbon brush are in rolling contact, thereby ensuring stable contact between the carbon brush and the generator shaft. At the same time, the measurement personnel can directly judge the contact state through the rolling condition of the carbon brush and make force adjustment to reduce data jump, so as to ensure the stability of the output waveform.
[0029] In some embodiments, the carbon brush holder 2 is detachably connected to the grip 3.

The front end of the carbon brush shaft 4 is pivotally connected to the first bracket 22 around the front-rear direction, and the rear end of the carbon brush shaft 4 is pivotally connected to the second bracket 23 around the front-rear direction, so that the carbon brush shaft 4 can pivot around its own central axis, and thus the carbon brush 1 can pivot relative to the carbon brush holder 2 around the front-rear direction.
[0035] There is a spaced space between the carbon brush shaft 4 and the base 21 which is greater than the thickness of the carbon brush 1 to prevent wear between the carbon brush 1 and the base 21.
[0036] The base 21, the first bracket 22 and the second bracket 23 can ensure the installation stability of the carbon brush shaft 4, so as to ensure the installation stability of the carbon brush 1, thereby ensuring stable contact between the carbon brush 1 and the large shaft of the generator, and enabling the carbon brush 1 to pivot around the front-rear direction through the carbon brush shaft 4, so that the large shaft of the generator and the carbon brush are in rolling contact.

The internal thread is adapted to the external thread so that the boss 211 and the groove 31 are threadedly connected, thereby enabling the base 21 and the handle 3 to be threadedly connected, so as to have good connection stability when connected.
[0044] In some embodiments, the boss 211 is connected to the measurement lead 5 connecting the multimeter, and the handle 3 is provided with a perforation 32 communicating with the groove 31, and the perforation 32 is used for threading the measurement lead 5.

When the base 21 and the handle 3 are connected, the measurement lead 5 extends from the perforation 32 to the outside of the handle 3 and is connected to the multimeter, and the detection data is obtained and observed through the multimeter.
[0046] In some embodiments, the handle 3 includes a rod body 33 and an insulating handle 34, and the rod body 33 is provided with the groove 31 and the perforation 32.
