Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of energy and heat, and relates to a method for determining the radial magnetic gap of an exciter and a method for calculating the magnetic mean difference. Background Art
[0002] Ansteel Energy Power Plant Power Plant currently has 8 electric blowers, which are mainly responsible for the blast furnace ironmaking air supply task. Among them, the 8# electric blower was built in 2019. The AV80-15 blower was manufactured by Shaanxi Blower Factory and has a designed maximum air volume of 6530m 3 / min. The variable-frequency motor and exciter are imported from Siemens in Germany. The main operating principle is that the exciter controls the speed of the variable-frequency motor, which in turn drives the axial-flow compressor, which in turn generates air at a certain pressure to supply air to the ironmaking blast furnace. Therefore, electric blowers are key equipment in energy and power plants and are crucial for ensuring stable blast furnace production. In April 2020, during the post-installation commissioning phase of the 8# electric blower, the exciter experienced increased current and voltage, and the excitation coil overheated to 90°C, triggering an alarm and preventing the electric blower from being put into operation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the problem of exciter heating, the present invention adopts a technical solution: a method for determining the radial magnetic gap of an exciter, comprising the following steps:
[0004] Divide the end surface of each side of the rotor and stator into four equal parts at 90°.

[0007] Rotate the rotor 180 degrees in the direction of rotation during operation;
[0008] Measure the distance between the corresponding marks on the horizontal and vertical axes after rotation again to obtain the second set of radial magnetic gap distance values X of the exciter. 11、 X 22、 Y 11、 Y 22 ;
[0009] Determine the horizontal clearance adjustment value of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter as follows:
[0010] The adjustment value of the vertical gap of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is:
[0011] The average gap value Z is:
[0012] When the horizontal gap adjustment value or the vertical gap adjustment value is ≥ the average gap value X%, the radial magnetic gap of the exciter needs to be adjusted.
[0013] Furthermore: the range of X% is 5%-10%.
[0014] According to any one of the methods for adjusting the radial magnetic gap of an exciter, the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is adjusted by horizontally moving the position of the stator or the height of the platform below the stator.
[0015] A method for calculating the magnetic difference of an exciter's magnetic force comprises the following steps:
[0016] Obtain the elongation △L of the variable frequency motor rotor in the working state and the elongation B of the blower rotor at the coupling in the working state; in the non-working state, the distance a1 between the coupling end, the stator coil and the rotor end face; in the non-working state, the distance a2 between the exciter tail end, the stator and the rotor end face;
[0017] The sum of the elongations D of the motor and blower shafts is calculated based on the elongation ΔL of the variable frequency motor rotor in the working state and the elongation B of the blower rotor in the working state at the coupling;
[0018] The magnetic center offset a of the exciter is calculated based on the distance a1 between the coupling end, the stator coil and the rotor end face in the non-working state; and the distance a2 between the exciter tail end, the stator and the rotor end face in the non-working state.
[0019] The magnetic center difference of the exciter magnetic force is obtained based on the difference a between the sum of the elongations D of the motor and blower shafts and the offset of the magnetic center of the exciter.
[0020] Furthermore, the sum of the elongations D of the shafts of the motor and the blower is expressed as follows:
[0021] D=△L / 2+B
[0022] Furthermore: The expression for the magnetic center offset a of the exciter is as follows.
[0023]
[0024] Furthermore, after the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is determined, the position of the stator is adjusted in the axial direction according to the magnetic center difference in the direction opposite to the elongation direction of the motor and the blower shaft.
[0025] The present invention provides a method for judging the radial magnetic gap of an exciter and a method for calculating the magnetic center difference. By analyzing and studying the unique heating fault of the electric blower exciter and combining the actual and existing technologies, a set of magnetic center and magnetic difference measurement and adjustment methods are summarized to solve the problem that there is no relevant maintenance technology for the magnetic gap and magnetic center of the exciter at this stage, explore a new approach in maintenance, fill the maintenance gap in the correlation between electrical and mechanical aspects in actual maintenance work, provide a certain theoretical basis support for the adjustment of magnetic center and magnetic gap, and verify the feasibility of the maintenance technical method through experimental results.

[0039] A method for determining radial magnetic gap of an exciter comprises the following steps:
[0040] S11: Divide the end surface of each side of the rotor and the stator into four equal parts at 90° angles;
[0041] S12: Mark the outer edges of the rotor and the stator accordingly;
[0042] S13: Measure the distance between the corresponding marks to obtain the radial magnetic gap distance value X of the first group of exciters 1、 X 2、 Y 1、 Y2;
[0043] S14: Rotate the rotor 180 degrees in the direction of rotation during operation;
[0044] S15: Measure the distance between the corresponding marks on the horizontal and vertical axes after rotation again to obtain the second set of radial magnetic gap distance values X of the exciter. 11、 X 22、 Y 11、 Y 22 ;
[0045] S16:
[0046] Determine the horizontal clearance adjustment value of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter as follows:
[0047] The adjustment value of the vertical gap of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is:
[0048] The average gap value Z is:
[0049] When the horizontal gap adjustment value or the vertical gap adjustment value is ≥ the average gap value X%, the radial magnetic gap of the exciter needs to be adjusted.
[0050] Steps S11, S12, S13, S14, S15, and S16 are performed sequentially;
[0051] The radial magnetic gap of the exciter can be measured with a long wedge-shaped feeler gauge;
[0052] Furthermore, the range of X% is 5%-10%.
[0053] According to any one of the methods for adjusting the radial magnetic gap of an exciter, the adjustment is performed by horizontally moving the position of the stator or the height of the platform below the stator.
[0054] When other conditions change, that is, before the exciter is installed, the radial clearance can also be adjusted by changing the relevant position of the rotor;
[0055] To ensure the electrical performance of the exciter, the magnetic center of the stator of the exciter must be consistent with that of its rotor in the operating state, that is, the stator coil center CC and the rotor center C'C' coincide;
[0056] At present, our company does not have any technical requirements and maintenance methods for the exciter magnetic center. Based on maintenance experience, we can only consider the influence of the thermal expansion of the blower rotor under actual operation, the influence of the axial position determination on the axial position of the variable frequency motor rotor (the variable frequency motor and the exciter rotor are coaxial), and the thermal expansion of the variable frequency motor rotor itself. In the static state, the center CC of the exciter stator and the center C'C' of the rotor must be offset by a value.
[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of measuring the offset of the magnetic center line of the magnetic machine;
[0058] A method for calculating the magnetic difference of an exciter's magnetic force comprises the following steps:
[0059] S21: Obtain the elongation ΔL of the variable frequency motor rotor in the working state and the elongation B of the blower in the working state; the distance a1 between the exciter coupling end, the stator coil and the rotor end face in the non-working state; and the distance a2 between the exciter tail end, the stator ends and the rotor hoop in the non-working state;
[0060] S22: Based on the elongation ΔL (mm) of the variable frequency motor rotor in operation and the elongation B (mm) of the blower rotor at the coupling in operation, which values are provided by the manufacturer, calculate the sum of the elongations D (mm) of the motor and blower shafts;
[0061] D = △L / 2 + B;
[0062] The elongation of the variable frequency motor rotor can be calculated as 1 mm per meter of length between the center lines of the two shaft necks;
[0063] S23: In the non-operating state, the magnetic center offset a of the exciter is calculated based on the distance a1 between the coupling end, the stator and the rotor end face, and the distance a2 between the two ends of the stator at the tail end of the exciter and the rotor hoop;
[0064] The magnetic center offset value can be measured with a steel ruler during installation. The expression of the magnetic center offset a of the exciter is as follows:
[0065]
[0066] S24: Based on the difference a between the sum of the elongations D of the shafts of the motor and the blower and the magnetic center offset of the exciter, obtain the magnetic center difference of the exciter magnetic force;
[0067]
[0068] Steps S21 / S22 / S23 / S24 are performed sequentially;
[0069] When the exciter is connected to the generator (motor) with a coupling or the two rotors are coaxial, the generator has a certain elongation after being heated due to its large size, which is represented by △L. Also, after the generator is connected to the blower with a coupling, there is another change in the elongation of the shaft due to thermal expansion, which is represented by B. The two (△L+B) give the exciter rotor an axial force. If the exciter is in the magnetic center position after cold adjustment, after normal operation, the blower and generator shafts will elongate due to heating, causing the axial position of the exciter shaft to change. That is, after normal operation, the magnetic center position is changed, affecting the normal operation of the exciter. Therefore, the magnetic center difference must be calculated in advance, the magnetic center position must be adjusted, and a reserve amount must be reserved for the normal operation of the exciter to ensure that CC and C'C' of the exciter coincide.
[0070] After measuring and adjusting the exciter's magnetic center and gap, and confirming their position, new holes were drilled and reamed on both sides of the exciter stator, and φ8 tapered pins were installed for positioning, facilitating future maintenance work. After retesting, the exciter temperature remained around 55°C, and the unit operated smoothly, ensuring the required air supply to the ironmaking blast furnace.
[0071] A method for measuring, calculating and adjusting the magnetic center offset value of an exciter is disclosed. After the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is determined, the position of the stator is adjusted in the horizontal, vertical and radial directions according to the measured results.
[0072] The adjustment in the axial direction, that is, determining the magnetic center position, is to determine the axial position of the exciter when the exciter is connected to other equipment. The position of the stator is adjusted in the axial direction according to the magnetic center difference in the opposite direction of the elongation direction of the motor and blower shaft to prevent magnetic center deviation from causing the exciter to heat up and burn or reducing the service life of the exciter.
[0073] The premise of adjusting the exciter stator is that the center (coaxiality) of the turbine (blower, steam turbine), generator (motor) and exciter meets the requirements and the coupling is well installed. Adjustment is more difficult, so adjusting the stator is more convenient and more efficient. Before the overall installation of the equipment, the exciter rotor position (moving the motor position) can be adjusted in combination with the movement of the exciter stator position according to actual conditions.
[0074] The exciter of this unit is coaxial with the rotor of the variable frequency motor, and some are connected by a coupling;
[0075] Example 1:
[0076] Analysis of heat generation before decomposition of electric blower: including: 1) whether the temperature measuring element fails;
[0077] 2) Check whether the stator and rotor are scratched and whether the gap is appropriate;
[0078] 3) Check if any control components in the PLC cabinet are faulty;
[0079] 4) Check whether the stator magnets, turns and rotor coils are damaged or falling off;
[0080] 5) Check whether the magnetic position has changed.
[0081] After decomposition, the problem was found:
[0082] 1) Two control switches in the PLC cabinet are not sensitive;
[0083] 2) The rotor coil becomes hot and discolored;
[0084] 3) The horizontal gap between the stator and rotor is 0.60mm on one side and 3-2mm on the other side, resulting in a change in magnetic field and unstable current.
[0085] Processing process:
[0086] 1) Replace the two problematic control switches in the PLC cabinet;
[0087] 2) Disassembly inspection of exciter rotor components;
[0088] 3) Measurement and adjustment of radial magnetic gap of exciter;
[0089] 4) Measurement and adjustment of the exciter magnetic center offset value;
[0090] The exciter rotor coil and other auxiliary components are installed on the tapered shaft at the tail of the motor. Due to rust and excessive tightening force, the coil and auxiliary components are easily damaged by methods such as tearing and knocking. In order to avoid secondary damage, a special top tool is made according to the structural characteristics of the rotor to disassemble the rotor electrical components.
[0091] Figure 5 It is a gripper for extracting the exciter rotor coil
[0092] A gripper for extracting an exciter rotor coil, comprising: a pressure plate flange; the pressure plate flange is made of metal iron;
[0093] Divide the rotor coil flange into 6 equal parts on the same circumference, determine 6 M12 screw holes, make 6 double-headed screws of appropriate length and a steel plate with appropriate outer diameter hole spacing and thickness after measurement, and equip it with a 6-ton screw jack.
[0094] The top-pressing method is used to gradually apply pressure to disassemble the exciter rotor coil and other components. After disassembly, professional testing and processing are carried out to ensure that the exciter rotor meets the use requirements; the production of special top tools improves maintenance efficiency and ensures the integrity of various components on the rotor.
[0095] The rotor of the exciter is coaxial with the variable frequency motor. The exciter rotor coil and other electrical components are fixed to the shaft using the motor tail shaft end. The stator is fixed to the exciter base to ensure that the radial magnetic gap and axial magnetic center between the stator and rotor meet the standards, ensuring stable operation of the exciter, thereby maintaining stable terminal voltage of the motor and improving the static stability of the motor. When a fault occurs inside the variable frequency motor, demagnetization is performed to reduce the degree of fault loss.
[0096] A method for determining radial magnetic gap adjustment of an exciter comprises the following steps:
[0097] S11: Divide the upper end surfaces of the rotor and stator into four equal parts at 90° angles;
[0098] S12: Mark the outer edges of the rotor and the stator accordingly;
[0099] S13: Measure the distances between the corresponding marks to obtain the radial magnetic gap distance values of the first group of exciters: X1 = 0.6 mm, X2 = 3.2 mm, Y1 = 1.95 mm, and Y2 = 1.85 mm;
[0100] S14: Rotate the rotor 180 degrees in the direction of rotation during operation;
[0101] S15: Measure the distance between the corresponding marks on the horizontal and vertical axes after rotation again to obtain the second set of radial magnetic gap distance values X of the exciter. 11 =0.6mm, X 22 =3.2mm, Y 11 =1.95mm, Y 22 =1.85mm;
[0102] Determine the horizontal clearance adjustment value of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter as follows:
[0103] Set X1 = 0.6 mm, X2 = 3.2 mm, X 11 =0.6mm, X 22 =3.2mm into the formula, and the horizontal gap adjustment value is -1.3mm, that is, adjust to the right by 1.3mm;
[0104] The adjustment value of the vertical gap of the radial magnetic gap of the exciter is: Set Y1 = 1.95mm, Y2 = 1.85mm; Y 11 =1.95mm, Y 22 =1.85mm into the formula, and the vertical adjustment value is 0.05mm;
[0105] The average gap value Z is: Substitute X1=0.6mm, X2=3.2mm, Y1=1.95mm, Y2=1.85mm into the formula to obtain Z=1.9mm;
[0106] Average gap value X% = 0.095-0.19mm;
[0107] If the vertical adjustment value is 0.05mm < the average gap value X%, then the radial vertical direction of the exciter does not need to be adjusted;
[0108] Horizontal gap adjustment value: 1.3mm> average gap value X%, then the radial horizontal direction of the exciter needs to be adjusted;
[0109] A method for calculating the magnetic difference of an exciter's magnetic force comprises the following steps:
[0110] S21: Obtain the elongation ΔL of the variable frequency motor rotor in the working state: 3.5 meters, shaft length 3.5*1mm=3.5mm;
[0111] The elongation of the blower in working state is B, 0.5mm;
[0112] In the non-working state, the distance a between the coupling end of the exciter, the stator coil and the rotor end face is 1=178mm; in the non-working state, the distance a between the tail end of the exciter, the two ends of the stator and the rotor hoop 2= 182mm;
[0113] S22: Based on the elongation ΔL (mm) of the variable frequency motor rotor in operation and the elongation B (mm) of the blower rotor at the coupling in operation, which values are provided by the manufacturer, calculate the sum of the elongations D (mm) of the motor and blower shafts;
[0114] D = △L / 2 + B;
[0115] Calculated D is 2.25 mm;
[0116] The elongation of the variable frequency motor rotor can be calculated as 1 mm per meter of length between the center lines of the two shaft necks;
[0117] S23: In the non-operating state, the magnetic center offset a of the exciter is calculated based on the distance a1 between the two ends of the stator and the rotor hoop at the coupling end and the distance a2 between the two ends of the stator and the rotor hoop at the tail end of the exciter;
[0118] The magnetic center offset value can be measured with a steel ruler during installation. The expression of the magnetic center offset a of the exciter is as follows:
[0119]
[0120] a=182-178 / 2=2mm
[0121] S24: Based on the sum of the elongation D of the motor and blower shafts and the difference a between the magnetic center offset of the exciter, the magnetic center difference of the exciter magnetic force is obtained as follows: Magnetic center difference = Da = 2.25-2 = 0.25 mm
[0122] When the calculation result is positive, the stator moves toward the tail end, and when it is negative, the stator moves toward the coupling end;
[0123] Therefore, when the exciter is in static state, the stator axis should be adjusted 0.25mm toward the tail end of a2, so that the stator and rotor of the exciter can coincide during normal operation.
[0124] The exciter's magnetic center and gap were measured and adjusted. Once the position was determined, new holes were drilled and reamed on both sides of the exciter, and φ8 tapered pins were installed for positioning, facilitating future maintenance work. During the retest, the exciter temperature remained around 55°C, and the unit operated smoothly, ensuring the required air supply to the ironmaking blast furnace.
[0125] This method is applied to the measurement and adjustment of magnetic gap and magnetic center of exciters, generators and motors. The scheme can be optimized and selected according to the actual situation of the equipment.
