Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of generator maintenance equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic disassembly and assembly device for a generator rotor. Background Art

[0002] A certain steel plant currently uses a 135MW extraction condensing generator set for surplus energy power generation. This generator set is equipped with a 400-ton / hour ultra-high pressure boiler and uses a mixed combustion of coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, and converter gas as fuel. The rotor in this generator set weighs 40.1 tons, is 10474 mm long, and has a maximum diameter of 1140 mm.

[0003] When performing periodic comprehensive disassembly inspections and repairs on this generator set or in the case of emergency repairs due to equipment abnormalities, it is necessary to remove the generator rotor. However, there are several main problems during the disassembly and assembly process:

[0004] 1. Difficult hoisting: Due to the long length and large weight of the rotor, hoisting assistance by a crane is required during removal. The entire operation process requires extremely stable crane operation and very high precision requirements, increasing the operation difficulty.

[0005] 2. Lack of automatic adjustment function: During the sliding process at the excitation end, there is neither a limit track nor an automatic adjustment function, and only basic support and sliding functions are provided. This results in a large swing amplitude of the rotor during movement, and it is necessary to manually frequently adjust the gap (mainly in the horizontal direction) between the rotor and the stator to avoid collision between the two.

[0006] 3. Low maintenance efficiency: As the rotor is gradually withdrawn from the stator, in order to maintain balance and ensure safety, the crane needs to continuously change the lifting point position. This not only takes time but also greatly reduces the maintenance efficiency and prolongs the maintenance time. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention addresses the above problems existing in the prior art and proposes an automatic disassembly and assembly device for a generator rotor that can prevent collision between the rotor and the stator, improve maintenance efficiency, and save disassembly and assembly time.

Detailed implementation manners

[0039] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and in combination with the attached drawings, the technical methods of the present invention are further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0040] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the present invention provides an automatic disassembly and assembly equipment for a generator rotor, including:

[0041] A rotor fixing mechanism, which is used to clamp the rotor 200. In this embodiment, this mechanism adopts the form of a clamp 100. The clamp 100 has a through hole for the rotor 200 to pass through. After the clamp 100 is locked, the fixing stability of the rotor 200 is ensured;

[0042] A carrying and moving mechanism, which includes an axial movement assembly 110 and a horizontal movement assembly 120. The rotor fixing mechanism is horizontally movably arranged on the axial movement assembly 110 through the horizontal movement assembly 120. The axial movement assembly 110 is used to drive the rotor 200 to move along its axis direction;

[0043] That is to say, the axial movement assembly 110 is used to drive the rotor 200 to move along its axis direction to realize the disassembly and assembly of the rotor 200, while the horizontal movement assembly 120 is used to adjust the horizontal position of the rotor 200, that is, to adjust the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300;

[0044] A horizontal gap adjusting mechanism, including:

[0045] A horizontal detection module 130, which is arranged on the stator 300 and is used to detect the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 in real time;

[0046] A driving mechanism 140, which is connected to the horizontal movement assembly 120 and is used to drive the adjustment of the horizontal position of the rotor 200;

[0047] A control module, which is communicatively connected to the horizontal detection module 130 and the driving mechanism 140, controls the operation of the driving mechanism 140 according to the horizontal gap data fed back by the horizontal detection module 130, so as to automatically adjust the horizontal gap deviation between the rotor 200 and the stator 300.

[0048] Specifically, during the process of disassembling and assembling the generator rotor 200, the principle of automatically adjusting the horizontal gap deviation between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 is as follows:

[0049] 1. Real-time monitoring of the horizontal detection module 130: The horizontal detection module 130 is installed on the stator 300, usually distributed on the horizontal two sides of the outer end face of the stator 300, and is used to detect the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 in real time. These sensors can accurately measure the distance between the two and feed the data back to the control module;

[0050] 2. Data processing and decision-making: After receiving the data from the horizontal detection module 130, the control module will analyze it according to the preset technical standards or parameters. If it is found that the current horizontal gap exceeds the allowable range, the control system will start the corresponding adjustment program;

[0051] 3. The driving mechanism 140 executes the adjustment command: The driving mechanism 140 is connected to the horizontal moving component 120. When the horizontal gap needs to be adjusted, the control module sends an instruction to the driving mechanism 140 to drive the rotor fixing mechanism to move along the horizontal track 122, thereby changing the horizontal position of the rotor 200.

[0052] During the whole disassembly and assembly process, the horizontal detection module 130 continuously monitors the change of the horizontal gap. If the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 exceeds the allowable value, the control module automatically adjusts the horizontal position of the rotor 200 according to the preset program to ensure that the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 meets the technical standards.

[0053] The automatic disassembly and assembly equipment for the generator rotor 200 provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0054] 1. Real-time horizontal gap adjustment:

[0055] The horizontal detection module 130 is used to monitor and feed back the horizontal gap data between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 in real time, ensuring precise control of the relative positions of the two;

[0056] The control module automatically adjusts the operation of the driving mechanism 140 according to the real-time horizontal gap data, so that the horizontal gap is always maintained within the technical standard range, greatly reducing the data deviation caused by human intervention and improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0057] 2. Enhanced security:

[0058] The use frequency of the overhead crane during the hoisting process and the risks that may be caused by its unstable operation are reduced, and collision accidents between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 caused by unstable hoisting are avoided;

[0059] The automated control system can more accurately manage the movement path of the rotor 200, reducing potential safety hazards that may occur in traditional manual operations and providing a safer working environment for workers.

[0060] 3. Significantly improve maintenance efficiency:

[0061] The automated horizontal gap adjustment mechanism eliminates the need to frequently adjust the position of the lifting points and simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, thereby significantly shortening the time required for maintenance, prompting the generator to be put into use earlier and improving power generation efficiency.

[0062] 4. Enhanced adaptability and flexibility:

[0063] The equipment can adapt to the requirements of generator rotors 200 of different specifications and models, has strong versatility, and is suitable for disassembly and assembly operations in various application scenarios;

[0064] Parameter settings can be flexibly adjusted according to different maintenance requirements to meet diverse working conditions and technical specifications.

[0065] 5. Reduce labor costs and labor intensity:

[0066] The increased degree of automation means that less manpower is required to participate in complex and time-consuming disassembly and assembly tasks, which simplifies the operating process, not only reducing labor costs but also alleviating the labor intensity of workers.

[0067] Preferably, the axial moving assembly 110 includes an axial rail 111 and an axial moving trolley 112. The axial moving trolley 112 drives the rotor 200 to move along the axial rail 111. The axial rail 111 is used to plan the disassembly and assembly path of the rotor 200, thereby effectively controlling and minimizing the horizontal position deviation caused by the movement process.

[0068] Preferably, the horizontal moving assembly 120 comprises:

[0069] The mounting platform 121 is mounted on the axial moving trolley 112 through a fixing plate 150. The mounting platform 121 has a horizontal track 122 arranged along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal track 122 is perpendicular to the axial track 111;

[0070] The roller 101 is arranged at the bottom of the clamp 100. The roller 101 cooperates with the horizontal track 122. Thus, the clamp 100 can move along the horizontal track 122 through the roller 101, so as to adjust the horizontal position of the rotor 200.

[0071] Preferably, the driving mechanism 140 includes a servo driver 141, a servo motor 142 and a transmission lead screw 143. The transmission lead screw 143 is in transmission connection with the bottom of the rotor fixing mechanism. The servo motor 142 drives the transmission lead screw 143 to rotate to drive the rotor fixing mechanism to move along the horizontal track 122.

[0072] In this way, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300, the driving mechanism 140 can push the clamp 100 and the rotor 200 thereon to move along the horizontal track 122, so as to accurately adjust the horizontal position of the rotor 200.

[0073] Preferably, it further includes a vertical gap adjusting mechanism, which has:

[0074] A vertical detection module 160, which is arranged on the stator 300 and is used to detect the vertical gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 in real time, and feed back the detected vertical gap data to the control module;

[0075] A height adjusting assembly, which is connected to the installation platform 121 and is used to adjust the vertical distance between the installation platform 121 and the fixing plate 150, so as to realize the adjustment of the vertical position of the rotor 200.

[0076] Furthermore, the height adjusting assembly includes an adjusting stud 170 and a locking bolt 171. Among them,

[0077] The adjusting stud 170 is arranged on the installation platform 121. By rotating the adjusting stud 170, the height of the installation platform 121 can be finely adjusted, so as to change the vertical position of the rotor 200 relative to the stator 300. This design allows the operator to make fine adjustments according to the data provided by the vertical detection module 160 to ensure an ideal vertical gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300;

[0078] The locking bolt 171 is used to connect the installation platform 121 and the fixing plate 150 to lock the position of the installation platform 121. Once the required vertical gap is reached, the installation platform 121 can be firmly connected to the fixing plate 150 through the locking bolt 171 to prevent any accidental movement or position deviation.

[0079] It should be noted here that the adjustment of the vertical gap is carried out before the removal of the rotor 200. During the removal of the rotor 200, as long as it is ensured that the axial movement trolley 112 and the horizontal movement trolley do not derail, the vertical gap between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 will not exceed the allowable range. For this reason, the rollers 101 of the axial movement trolley 112 and the horizontal movement trolley are both set as wheels with flanges.

[0080] Specifically, before the removal of the rotor 200, after the vertical and horizontal positions of the rotor 200 are determined, the vertical position of the rotor 200 is locked by the locking bolt 171, and the servo motor 142 stops operating to lock the horizontal position of the rotor 200. Then the rotor 200 can be in a condition for movement. During the removal of the rotor 200, the vertical gap is monitored in real time. If the vertical gap accidentally exceeds the allowable value, the system stops and is readjusted. The horizontal gap is continuously monitored and adjusted in real time without stopping the machine for processing.

[0081] In addition, in this embodiment, the horizontal detection module 130 and the vertical detection module 160 preferably adopt displacement sensors. The displacement sensors have extremely high resolution and repeatability, can provide accurate distance measurements on a scale of millimeters or even smaller, and can quickly respond to changes in position and feed back data to the control system in real time. This is crucial for ensuring the safe distance between the rotor and the stator.

[0082] To ensure the accuracy of the data, the horizontal detection module 130 is distributed on the horizontal two sides of the outer end face of the stator, and the vertical detection module 160 is distributed on the vertical two sides of the outer end face of the stator. By symmetrically arranging the detection modules, data can be obtained from multiple angles, reducing the error caused by single-point measurement and improving the overall measurement accuracy.

[0083] Preferably, the axial movement trolley 112 is provided with a first pull ring 113 for pulling during the removal of the rotor 200, and the fixing plate 150 is provided with a second pull ring 151 for pulling during the installation of the rotor 200.

The above is the specific implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
