Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of tubular hydro-generators, and particularly relates to a double-disc rotor bracket structure for large tubular units. Background Art
[0002] Bulb tubular units are commonly used models for hydropower generation in river basins. Currently, they are developing towards large capacity and multiple operating conditions. Among them, some power stations have a demand for ultra-low head power generation, resulting in an increase in the runaway speed of the units, and the design difficulty of the rotating parts of the generator, especially the rotor bracket, has increased significantly.
[0003] The rotor bracket is an intermediate component that connects the magnetic yoke and the rotating shaft into one body. At the same time, it is also a blower element of the ventilation system. It is subjected to complex forces and is one of the most critical components of the entire unit. If the structural stiffness of the rotor bracket is small and the stress amplitude changes greatly, fatigue failure is likely to occur; when the structural stiffness of the rotor bracket is large, it often has the characteristic of high stress level and is prone to static failure. This phenomenon becomes obvious as the unit capacity increases. Therefore, in the design of large bulb tubular units, the structure of the rotor bracket is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the unit.
[0004] At present, the rotor bracket and the magnetic yoke of large bulb tubular units are often made into one body. The commonly used rotor bracket structures are single-disc rotor brackets and inclined vertical rib rotor brackets. In recent years, cracks and even fractures have occurred in the rotor brackets of some large-capacity tubular units with single-disc rotor bracket and inclined vertical rib rotor bracket structures. The main reason is that since the bulb unit is a horizontal unit, when the unit is operating normally, the rotor bracket has to bear, in addition to the rated torque, the gravitational moments of the poles and the magnetic yoke, its own centrifugal force and unbalanced magnetic pull, but also the action of comprehensive forces such as its own gravity and axial alternating force. As the capacity increases, the size and weight of the unit also become larger and larger. At this time, the traditional single-disc and inclined vertical rib structures of the rotor brackets of large-capacity tubular units are relatively weak and the rib plates are prone to deformation. Cracks in the rotor bracket will greatly affect the safe and stable operation of the power station, and even if processed on site, the occurrence of fractures cannot be eliminated. After some rotor brackets are repaired, new crack areas even appear, greatly affecting the safe and stable operation of the power station.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rotor bracket of a large tubular hydro-generator with high stiffness and the ability to withstand alternating loads to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application has upper and lower discs, which can bear a large rotor weight and centrifugal force, the stress is more uniform, avoiding the internal stress and stress concentration between the central body and the disc, and solving the fatigue fracture problem under alternating stress.

[0008] Further, a plurality of upper ring reinforcing ribs are arranged below the upper ring plate, and a plurality of lower ring reinforcing ribs are arranged below the lower ring plate to increase the overall stiffness of the rotor bracket.
[0009] Further, a brake ring is fixedly arranged on the yoke ring, and the brake ring is tightly connected to the upper ring plate.
[0010] Further, yoke ventilation holes and pole fixing holes are evenly arranged on the circumference of the yoke ring. The yoke ventilation holes are located between the poles, and the pole fixing holes are located at the center line of each pole. The circumferential number of the yoke ventilation holes and the pole fixing holes is the same as the number of poles, and the number in the axial direction is set according to the length of the yoke ring.
[0011] Further, arc-shaped notches are formed at the positions corresponding to the yoke ventilation holes at the joints of the vertical ribs, the upper ring support plates, and the lower ring reinforcing ribs and the yoke ring to avoid obstructing the air inlet and outlet of the yoke ventilation holes and form a good ventilation system.
[0012] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. By improving the traditional single-disc rotor bracket, the present application uses two upper and lower discs to connect the yoke ring and the rotor central body, increasing the overall stiffness of the rotor bracket, which is applicable to large tubular turbine units with a larger rotor diameter and a longer rotor length, and solves the cracking problems of the traditional single-disc rotor bracket and the inclined vertical rib rotor bracket of large tubular turbine units.
[0014] 2. By arranging ventilation holes on the upper and lower discs, vertical ribs, and yoke ring components, the present application can form an effective ventilation path, significantly improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0015] 3. By arranging arcs at the stress concentration positions of the upper and lower discs, vertical ribs, and yoke ring components, the present application avoids fatigue failure caused by stress concentration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
