TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a rotating electromagnetic bearing device, in particular to an integrated mechanical safety electromagnetic bearing structure for a rotating electromagnetic bearing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electromagnetic bearings are gradually widely used due to the advantages of non-contact, low friction, adaptation to high speed, etc. However, the overspeed protection of the existing electromagnetic bearing unit often adopts full-electric safety, or the mechanical safety is separately installed in an area far away from the main electromagnetic bearing. The existing overspeed protection system cannot simultaneously meet the comprehensive needs of safety and compactness of high-speed rotating equipment.
[0003] In the existing related patent technology, such as patent document (CN209942886U), a screw expander overspeed protection device is disclosed. The core principle is that the fly hammer, elastic element and guide assembly are arranged inside the impact sub-shell connected with the rotor. When the normal rotating speed, the pre-pressing force of the elastic element is greater than the centrifugal force of the fly hammer, the fly hammer remains in the initial position. When the overspeed, the centrifugal force is greater than the pre-pressing force, the fly hammer extends to impact the oil door pull hook, and mechanical emergency stop is realized. However, this patent is only designed for the "∞" shaped cylinder structure and rotor characteristics of the screw expander, and cannot be directly migrated to other high-speed rotating equipment such as electromagnetic bearings, gas turbines and centrifugal compressors. Moreover, the mechanical safety is separated from the bearing system, the integration degree is low, the installation and maintenance complexity is high, and the space layout does not match the needs of high-speed equipment.

[0009] Further, after the overspeed protector acts, the rotating speed of the unit decreases, the centrifugal force of the fly hammer decreases, and when the rotating speed is less than a certain value, the centrifugal force is less than the spring force, and the fly hammer is quickly reset.
[0010] Further, the electromagnetic bearing thrust disc serves as an electromagnetic axial limiting element and a mounting base of the overspeed protector.
[0011] Further, the electromagnetic bearing body is a mounting base of the electromagnetic bearing stator part and the oil gate assembly, and realizes organic coupling of the electromagnetic bearing and the mechanical security.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0020] As Figure 1 , 2, the integrated mechanical security electromagnetic bearing structure provided by the embodiment of the application can realize mechanical security on the electromagnetic bearing equipment, mainly comprising: an electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1, an over-speed protector 2, a misoperation valve assembly 3, an electromagnetic bearing body 4, an axial bolt 5, a loose washer 6, a spline interface 7, a speed measuring tooth 8, and a dynamic balance screw hole 9.
[0021] The misoperation valve assembly 3, a cut-off valve, a main valve actuator and the like are installed on the electromagnetic bearing body 4. The over-speed protector 2 of the fly hammer type machinery is installed at the end of the electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1. The fly hammer of the fly hammer type machinery is in place on the rotating shaft under the pre-tightening force of the spring and rotates together with the rotating shaft. The centrifugal force of the fly hammer is proportional to the square of the rotating speed. When the rotating speed exceeds a certain set value, the centrifugal force is greater than the spring pressure, and the fly hammer will quickly fly out under the action of the centrifugal force, triggering the main valve to close at high speed. After the action of the protector, the rotating speed of the unit decreases, and the centrifugal force of the fly hammer decreases. When the rotating speed decreases to less than a certain value, the centrifugal force is less than the spring force, and the fly hammer quickly returns to the original position.
[0022] The electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1 is not only the core element of the electromagnetic axial limiting, but also the installation base body of the over-speed protector 2. The electromagnetic bearing body 4 is not only the stator part of the electromagnetic bearing, but also the installation base body of the misoperation valve assembly 3, thereby realizing the organic coupling of the electromagnetic bearing and the mechanical security.
[0023] The electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1 is fixed on the rotor through the shaft end large thread, is positioned through the end face, and the inner ring is provided with four axial bolts 5 to prevent the shaft end large thread from loosening. The loose washer 6 can prevent the axial bolt 5 from loosening. In order to reduce the air blowing heat of the rotor as much as possible, the axial bolt 5 is sunk in the electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1.
[0024] In order to match the electromagnetic bearing and other application requirements of the unit, the spline interface 7 can also be arranged on the electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1. The spline interface 7 is used for accurate control of the installation torque of the entire electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1 and convenient disassembly and assembly of the electromagnetic bearing thrust plate 1.
[0025] The speed measuring tooth 8 is used for phase measurement and unit rotating speed measurement for electromagnetic bearing control, realizing unit speed regulation and bearing control.
[0026] Dynamic balance screw hole 9, for the overall balance of the electromagnetic bearing thrust disc 1, and the on-site dynamic balance requirement of the unit.
[0027] The above-described embodiments are only a preferred scheme of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the concept and scope of the present application. Therefore, any technical scheme obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present application.
