Description
Technical Field

[0002] An excitation improvement device for old hydro-turbine generators is designed to improve the performance and stability of the generator. The device is cleverly designed, including an extension shaft connected to the main shaft of the generator and an exciter part. The exciter has a delicate structure, including a fixed housing and a rotating drum sleeved on the extension shaft, on which an exciter armature is arranged. The armature winding is connected to the excitation winding of the generator rotor through a rectifier to ensure stable current transmission. The excitation system of existing small hydro-turbine generators, whether it is reactance shunt, secondary winding rectification, thyristor excitation or exciter excitation, relies on a common structure-carbon brushes and slip rings. Carbon brushes and slip rings transmit excitation current through dynamic contact to excite the generator magnetic field. However, this contact method is prone to wear and spark generation. If improperly maintained, wear will increase and sparks will occur frequently, which will cause excitation system failure and cause the generator to shut down. Utility Model Content

[0025] The staff turns on the generator main shaft 2, and drives the rectifier 3 to rotate through the generator main shaft 2, and then drives the extension shaft 13 and the armature of the exciter to rotate through the rectifier 3. At this time, the rotor excitation winding 15 provides voltage to the armature winding 14 of the exciter of the generator housing 1 through the rectifier 3, so that it generates a magnetic field, and then drives the slip ring 16 to rotate through the extension shaft 13, and drives the conductive block 17 to rotate inside the carbon brush 19 through the slip ring 16, and supports the carbon brush 19 through the fixed bracket 18, and then the conductive block 17 slides inside the slide groove 20, thereby completing hydropower generation through the generator housing 1.
[0026] The rectifier 3 is driven to rotate by the generator main shaft 2, and the extension shaft 13 and the armature of the exciter are driven to rotate by the rectifier 3. At this time, the rotor excitation winding 15 provides voltage to the armature winding 14 of the exciter of the generator housing 1 through the rectifier 3, so that it generates a magnetic field, and the slip ring 16 is driven to rotate by the extension shaft 13, and the conductive block 17 is driven to rotate inside the carbon brush 19 by the slip ring 16.

Compared with the traditional device, the device reduces the wear between the slip ring and the carbon brush through the cooperation between the conductive block 17, the fixed bracket 18 and the carbon brush 19, and significantly improves the electric The current transmission efficiency is improved. The conductive block is made of high-quality conductive material, which increases the contact area between the slip ring and the carbon brush, effectively reducing the loss in the current transmission process.

[0028] The spring 6 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 7 , a limiting hole 21 is provided inside the fixing plate 7 , and a limiting block 11 is movably installed inside the limiting hole 21 .
[0029] The staff needs to perform maintenance and inspection on the generator housing 1 that has been used for a long time. By holding the mounting plate 8 and squeezing the spring 6 inside the fixing plate 7, the connecting block 2 10 is slowly disengaged from the inside of the limiting hole 21. Then, through the cooperation between the mounting plate 8 and the support block 4, the generator housing 1 is slowly moved. The generator housing 1 is now maintained and inspected. After the inspection is completed, the generator housing 1 needs to be installed by placing it into the fixing plate 7, squeezing the spring 6 through the mounting plate 8, and driving the connecting block 2 10 to slowly approach the inside of the fixing plate 7 through the mounting plate 8. Then, the connecting block 1 9 is slowly driven to approach the fixing plate 7 through the connecting block 2 10, and then the limiting block 11 is slowly driven into the inside of the limiting hole 21 through the connecting blocks 2 10 and the connecting blocks 1 9, thereby completing the disassembly and installation of the generator housing 1.
[0030] It is necessary to perform maintenance and inspection on the generator housing 1 that has been used for a long time. By holding the mounting plate 8 and squeezing the spring 6 inside the fixing plate 7, the connecting block 2 10 is slowly disengaged from the inside of the limiting hole 21. Then, through the cooperation between the mounting plate 8 and the supporting block 4, the generator housing 1 is slowly moved. Now the generator housing 1 is maintained and inspected. Compared with the traditional device, the device facilitates the rapid disassembly and installation of the generator housing 1 through the cooperation between the limiting block 11, the connecting block 2 10 and the spring 6, shortens the maintenance time of the generator housing 1, reduces the downtime loss, reduces the maintenance cost, and improves the power generation efficiency.

[0037] The spring 6 presents two shapes of the same size inside the fixing plate 7, and the spring 6 is made of stainless steel.
[0038] Since the spring 6 presents two shapes of the same size inside the fixing plate 7 and the spring 6 is made of stainless steel, the spring 6 made of stainless steel is more stable when the generator is disassembled and installed.
[0039] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0040] The staff turns on the generator main shaft 2, and drives the rectifier 3 to rotate through the generator main shaft 2, and then drives the extension shaft 13 and the armature of the exciter to rotate through the rectifier 3. At this time, the rotor excitation winding 15 provides voltage to the armature winding 14 of the exciter of the generator housing 1 through the rectifier 3, so that it generates a magnetic field, and then drives the slip ring 16 to rotate through the extension shaft 13, and drives the conductive block 17 to rotate inside the carbon brush 19 through the slip ring 16, and supports the carbon brush 19 through the fixed bracket 18, and then the conductive block 17 slides inside the slide groove 20, thereby completing hydropower generation through the generator housing 1.
[0041] The staff needs to perform maintenance and inspection on the generator housing 1 that has been used for a long time. By holding the mounting plate 8 and squeezing the spring 6 inside the fixing plate 7, the connecting block 2 10 is slowly disengaged from the inside of the limiting hole 21. Then, through the cooperation between the mounting plate 8 and the support block 4, the generator housing 1 is slowly moved. The generator housing 1 is now maintained and inspected. After the inspection is completed, the generator housing 1 needs to be installed by placing it into the fixing plate 7, squeezing the spring 6 through the mounting plate 8, and driving the connecting block 2 10 to slowly approach the inside of the fixing plate 7 through the mounting plate 8. Then, the connecting block 1 9 is slowly driven to approach the fixing plate 7 through the connecting block 2 10, and then the limiting block 11 is slowly driven into the inside of the limiting hole 21 through the connecting blocks 2 10 and the connecting blocks 1 9, thereby completing the disassembly and installation of the generator housing 1.
