[0002] Hydropower unit bearings are medium-voltage devices that support the unit's rotor, main shaft, and other rotating components, enabling them to rotate stably around their axis and ensuring normal operation. However, during unit operation, the rotation of the unit can cause oil slinging and oil mist to form in the bearing oil pan, contaminating nearby equipment surfaces. Furthermore, mechanical braking during generator operation generates brake dust, and carbon powder is generated on the motor's carbon brushes and slip rings. This dust and carbon powder easily adhere to the oil mist, forming oil contamination. Long-term adsorption on the insulation layer can corrode the generator insulation, degrade insulation performance, accelerate aging, and easily cause generator coil short circuits or breakdown, posing a serious threat to safe power production.

[0003] The oil mist collection device in the related art is installed near the bearing oil pan. The oil mist overflows from the oil pan and diffuses into the air. The oil mist collection device sucks in the diffused oil mist in the air for processing, thereby realizing oil mist collection. The oil mist collection device diffuses the oil mist overflowing into the air, and has certain limitations on the treatment range of the oil mist, and the treatment efficiency of the oil mist is low. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an oil mist collection device 100 for a bearing oil basin according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first collecting pipe 1, an oil mist suction device 2 and a collecting box 3. The first collecting pipe 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12. The first end 11 of the first collecting pipe 1 is connected to the bearing oil basin 200. The oil mist suction device 2 has an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The oil inlet is connected to the second end 12 of the first collecting pipe 1, and the oil outlet is connected to the collecting box 3.

[0031] The oil mist collection device 100 for a bearing oil basin according to an embodiment of the present invention is suitable for collecting oil mist from the bearings of a hydroelectric generator set. The oil mist collection device 100 is started and operated simultaneously with the hydroelectric generator set. The oil mist generated by the bearings during operation is directly absorbed by the oil mist suction device 2. After passing through the oil mist suction device 2, the oil mist is converted into liquid oil and collected in the collection box 3, thereby collecting the bearing oil mist. Compared to the related art method of diffusing oil mist into the air and then collecting it, the oil mist collection device 100 according to the present invention draws the oil mist directly from the oil basin into the oil mist suction device 2, preventing secondary contamination, achieving better oil mist treatment, and increasing oil mist collection efficiency.

[0032] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the top wall of the bearing oil basin 200 has an oil suction hole, and the first end 11 of the first collecting pipe 1 is connected to the oil suction hole.

[0033] Optionally, the oil mist suction device 2 includes an exhaust fan and a filter.

[0034] Therefore, the exhaust fan can form a negative pressure in the first collecting pipe 1, and then suck the oil mist generated in the bearing oil basin 200 into the first collecting pipe 1. The oil mist collides and condenses in the first collecting pipe 1, and becomes liquid oil after passing through the exhaust fan; the filter can filter the oil entering the collection box 3 to improve the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3.

[0035] In some embodiments, there are multiple first collecting tubes 1 , and the first ends 11 of the multiple first collecting tubes 1 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bearing oil basin 200 .

[0036] In some embodiments, there are multiple oil mist suction devices 2 , each of which corresponds to the first collecting pipe 1 , and the oil outlets of the multiple oil mist suction devices 2 are all connected to the collecting box 3 .

[0037] By setting up multiple first collection pipes 1, the multiple first collection pipes 1 are evenly covered on the top of the bearing oil basin 200, which can improve the efficiency of oil mist suction and reduce the probability of oil mist overflowing into the external environment; in addition, by setting up multiple oil mist suction devices 2, each oil mist suction device 2 provides a smaller suction force to suck away the oil mist at the corresponding position, preventing the suction force from being too large and sucking out the liquid oil in the bearing oil basin 200, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the oil mist collection device 100.

[0038] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, there are four first collecting pipes 1 and four oil mist suction devices 2. The first ends 11 of the four first collecting pipes 1 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bearing oil basin 200, that is, the four first collecting pipes 1 can respectively absorb oil mist from four directions of the bearing oil basin 200; the four oil mist suction devices 2 are started, and negative pressure is generated in the four first collecting pipes 1, thereby forming a negative pressure environment on the upper side of the inner part of the bearing oil basin 200, so that the oil mist generated during the operation of the bearing is respectively sucked into the four first collecting pipes 1, and then collected in a collection box 3 after passing through the four oil mist suction devices 2, which can greatly improve the oil mist collection efficiency.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, according to the size of the bearing oil basin 200 and the operating state of the bearing, the number of the first collecting pipes 1 and the oil mist suction device 2 can also be set to other values, such as three, five, six, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes a second collection pipe 4 , both ends of which are respectively connected to the oil outlet and the collection box 3 , and the inner diameter of the second collection pipe 4 is smaller than that of the first collection pipe 1 .

[0041] Through the above arrangement, the flow rate of the oil mist in the first collecting pipe 1 is relatively low, which is more conducive to the collision and condensation of the oil mist, and then the oil mist becomes liquid oil after passing through the oil mist suction device 2 and is collected in the collecting box 3.

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, there are also four second collecting pipes 4, which correspond one-to-one to the oil mist suction devices 2; the top wall of the collecting box 3 is connected to the oil collecting pipe 5, the diameter of the oil collecting pipe 5 is larger than the diameter of the second collecting pipe 4, and the four second collecting pipes 4 are all connected to the oil collecting pipe 5; thus, under the action of the oil mist suction device 2, the oil mist generated by the bearing operation when the hydropower unit generates electricity is sucked into the four first collecting pipes 1, gathered in the four first collecting pipes 1, and becomes liquid oil after passing through the oil mist suction device 2, and then collected in the collecting box 3 through the four second collecting pipes 4, thereby realizing the oil mist collection process and preventing the oil mist from overflowing and polluting the external environment and surrounding equipment.

[0043] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes an oil pump 6 , which has an inlet connected to the collection box 3 and an outlet for connecting to the bearing oil basin 200 .

[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the inlet of the oil pump 6 is connected to the lower side of the collecting box 3 through a pipe, and the outlet of the oil pump 6 is connected to the top wall of the bearing oil basin 200 through a pipe. The oil pump 6 can pump the liquid oil collected in the collecting box 3 into the bearing oil basin 200 to realize the recycling of oil mist and prevent oil waste.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, a liquid level monitoring device 7 is provided in the collection box 3 .

[0046] Optionally, the liquid level monitoring device 7 is a liquid level meter.

[0047] Therefore, the operation and maintenance personnel can obtain the liquid level of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 based on the liquid level monitoring device 7. When the liquid level in the collection box 3 reaches the preset liquid level, the oil pump 6 can be started to pump the liquid oil in the collection box 3 into the bearing oil basin 200 for reuse. At the same time, the liquid level in the collection box 3 can be prevented from being too high and overflowing.

[0048] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes an oil quality analysis device 8 , which is connected to the collection box 3 .

[0049] Optionally, the oil quality analysis device 8 is an oil quality analyzer.

[0050] The oil quality analyzer can analyze the particle size, moisture content and other characteristics of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 to determine whether the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 is qualified, and then determine whether the liquid oil in the collection box 3 can be pumped into the bearing oil basin 200 for reuse.

[0051] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes a control device 9 , and the liquid level monitoring device 7 , the oil quality analysis device 8 and the oil pump 6 are all electrically connected to the control device 9 .

[0052] It is known that the oil collected by the oil mist collection device 100 in the related art needs to be discharged regularly by the operation and maintenance personnel, which is troublesome to operate and has the risk of oil overflow.

[0053] Through the above settings, the liquid level data monitored by the liquid level monitoring device 7 can be transmitted to the control device 9, and the oil analysis data of the oil quality analysis device 8 can also be transmitted to the control device 9. The control device 9 can determine whether to start the oil pump 6 based on the received liquid level data and oil analysis data; when the liquid level data shows that the liquid level in the collection box 3 reaches the preset liquid level, and the oil analysis data shows that the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 is qualified, the control device 9 controls the oil pump 6 to start, and pumps the liquid oil in the collection box 3 6 into the bearing oil basin 200, so as to realize the recycling of oil mist and keep the oil level of the bearing oil basin 200 stable.

[0054] In this way, the liquid oil in the collection box 3 can be automatically recycled and reused without the need for regular discharge by operation and maintenance personnel, thereby improving the convenience of operation and reducing the risk of oil overflow.

[0055] Optionally, the oil mist suction device 2 is electrically connected to the control device 9 .

[0056] Thus, the start and stop of the oil mist suction device 2 can be controlled by the control device 9, so that the oil mist suction device 2 can be synchronized with the start and stop of the hydropower unit.

[0057] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes an alarm device, which is electrically connected to the control device 9 .

[0058] When the oil analysis data shows that the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 is unqualified, the alarm device can send an alarm signal to remind the operation and maintenance personnel that the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 is unqualified so that the operation and maintenance personnel can handle it in time.

[0059] Optionally, the alarm device is an audible, optical and electrical alarm.

[0060] In some embodiments, the oil mist collection device 100 further includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the control device 9 .

[0061] The control device 9 can display the received liquid level data and oil analysis data on a display screen so that operation and maintenance personnel can understand the operation status of the oil mist collection device 100.

[0062] The oil mist collection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention uses the control device 9 to control the oil mist suction device 2 to start synchronously with the hydropower unit. Under the action of the oil mist suction device 2, the oil mist generated by the bearing of the hydropower unit passes through the first collection pipe 1 and the second collection pipe 4 in sequence and is collected in the collection box 3, which can prevent the oil mist from overflowing into the outside air and improve the treatment effect and collection efficiency of the oil mist.

[0063] In addition, the liquid level monitoring device 7 can monitor the liquid level of the collection box 3 in real time, and the oil quality analysis device 8 can analyze the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3. When the liquid level in the collection box 3 reaches the preset liquid level and the quality of the liquid oil in the collection box 3 is qualified, the control device 9 controls the oil pump 6 to start and pump the liquid oil in the collection box 3 into the bearing oil basin 200 to realize internal circulation, realize the recycling of oil mist, and keep the oil level of the bearing oil basin 200 stable.

[0064] The oil mist collection device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention does not require personnel to discharge liquid oil regularly, which is conducive to maintaining a stable oil level in the bearing oil basin 200. It can realize functions such as oil mist treatment, oil quality detection, and liquid oil reflux, and effectively solve a series of problems in the process of oil mist treatment of the unit bearing.
