DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make it easier to understand the structure of the present invention and the functional features and advantages that can be achieved, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings as follows:

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides an automatic deceleration brake device for a hydro-turbine generator, comprising an upper frame 1 and a lower frame 2, one end of the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2 are rotated and cross-arranged, and a brake pad 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the upper frame 1; it also includes an elastic support component 4 for supporting the brake pad 3 for braking action, the elastic support component 4 is connected between the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2, so that the upper frame 1 is tilted and arranged at the end of the lower frame 2; it also includes a tensioning component 5 for pulling down the brake pad 3 to release the braking action, the tensioning component 5 is arranged on the lower frame 2 and elastically connected to the upper frame 1, and also includes a locking component 6 and a releasing component 7, the locking component 6 locks the tensioning component 5 to end the tensioning action, and the releasing component 7 releases the tensioning component 5 to rebound, so that the brake pad 3 rebounds to the braking position. The upper frame 1 is provided with a threaded hole 9, and the threaded hole 9 is matched with a threaded rod 10, and the end of the threaded rod 10 abuts against the brake pad 3.

[0024] The brake pad 3 is preferably a hardwood block in this application. The brake pad 3 is located on the upper surface of the upper frame 1 and is framed by the upper frame 1. The brake pad 3 can be replaced. When braking, the elastic support component 4 supports the upper frame 1. The brake pad 3 on the upper frame 1 rubs against the flywheel of the hydro-turbine generator to achieve braking. Since the elastic support component 4 has a certain elasticity, the flywheel will not stop immediately when rubbing against the brake pad 3, but will gradually slow down, which plays a protective role for the flywheel. The elastic support component 4 has a certain hardness and will not jump violently when rubbing against the flywheel. When the brake needs to be released, the tensioning component 5 is pulled, and the angle between the upper frame 1 and the upper frame 2 becomes smaller, thereby driving the brake pad 3 to be out of contact with the flywheel, that is, the brake is released. In order to prevent the tensioning component 5 from rebounding when the tensioning component 5 is released, a locking component 6 is set. Since the locking component 6 tightens the tensioning component 5, a release component 7 is set to release the locking component 6 and release the tensioning component 5 to achieve braking again. In this way, the braking and brake release actions are realized in a cycle. The threaded rod 10 passes through the threaded hole 9 and abuts against the brake pad 3. The angle of the brake pad 3 can be raised by twisting the threaded rod 10. After multiple braking, the brake pad 3 is worn and needs to be raised to a certain angle to contact the flywheel.

[0025] As another example, Figure 1 As shown, the elastic support assembly 4 of the present application includes a support spring 41, a support rod 42 and an adjusting bolt 43. One end of the support spring 41 is connected to the upper frame 1, and the other end of the support spring 41 is connected to the adjusting bolt 43; one end of the support rod 42 is connected to the lower frame 2, and the other end of the support rod 42 is connected to the adjusting bolt 43.

[0026] The support spring 41 is a hard spring, and the adjusting bolt 43 adjusts the angle between the support spring 41 and the support rod 42 to adjust the supporting angle of the support spring 41 to the upper frame 1 .

[0027] As another example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the tensioning assembly 5 of the present application includes a separation spring 51, a pull rod 52, a ratchet 53, a central shaft 54, a cam 55 and an energy storage spring 56. The centers of the ratchet 53 and the cam 55 are both located on the central shaft 54. One end of the separation spring 51 is connected to the upper frame 1, and the other end of the separation spring 51 is connected to the protruding shaft of the cam 55. The cam 55 is used to stretch the separation spring 51. The pull rod 52 is vertically arranged on the central shaft 54. The energy storage spring 56 is arranged around the central shaft 54. One end of the energy storage spring 56 is fixed to the central shaft 54, and the other end of the energy storage spring 56 is fixed to the lower frame 2.

[0028] The pull rod 52 is vertically fixed at one end of the central shaft 54. Pulling the pull rod 52 drives the central shaft 54 ​​and the ratchet 53 to rotate in the rotatable direction. At the same time, the center of the cam 55 is also on the central shaft 54. The separation spring 51 is connected to the protruding part of the cam 55 through an axis. When the cam 55 rotates, the protruding part also rotates, thereby tightening the separation spring 51 and driving the upper frame 1 to pull down. The brake pad 3 is disengaged from the flywheel to release the brake. The energy storage spring 56 twists in this process to store energy.

[0029] As another example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 6 of the present application includes a pawl 61, a telescopic spring 62, a block 63 and a slot 64. The block 63 is fixedly connected to one side of the ratchet 53, and the slot 64 is fixedly connected to the lower frame 2. The pawl 61 is arranged in a groove on the lower frame 2, and the two ends of the telescopic spring 62 are respectively connected to the bottom of the pawl 61 and the bottom of the groove. The pawl 61 and the block 63 respectively lock the two directions of rotation of the ratchet 53.

[0030] When the ratchet 53 rotates, the block 63 rotates accordingly. When the block 63 rotates to the slot 64, the ratchet 53 cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the pawl 61 stops the ratchet 53. The ratchet 53 is stopped in two directions, namely, the slot 64 and the pawl 61. The coordination and locking of the ratchet 53 and the pawl 61 are achieved by setting a telescopic spring 62. The pawl 61 is set in the groove of the lower frame 2 to ensure that the pawl 61 is effectively locked.

[0031] As another example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the release assembly 7 of the present application includes a manual brake lever 71, which is rotatably fixed on the lower frame 2, and one end of the manual brake lever 71 contacts the ratchet 61. The release assembly 7 also includes an energy release electromagnetic coil 72 and a controller 73, the energy release electromagnetic coil 72 is electrically connected to the controller 73, and the energy release electromagnetic coil 72 is magnetically connected to the manual brake lever 71.

[0032] The manual brake lever 71 is a bent folding lever. When the manual brake lever 71 is pushed, the end of the manual brake lever 71 close to the pawl 61 presses the pawl 61 to release the lock on the ratchet 53. The ratchet 53 rotates rapidly during the energy release process of the energy storage spring 56. At the same time, the separation spring 51 rebounds, and the brake pad 3 on the upper frame 1 rubs against the flywheel to achieve braking. When the brake button is pressed during automatic control, the controller 73 sends a brake signal to the energy release electromagnetic coil 72. The energy release electromagnetic coil 72 changes the state of the magnetic field energy according to the control signal, and the magnetic field energy is converted into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is transmitted to the manual brake lever 71, and the manual brake lever 71 is pushed to achieve braking.

[0033] As another example, Figure 2 As shown, the present application further includes a water spray device 8, and the water outlet of the water spray device 8 is located above the brake pad 3. The water spray device 8 includes a water pipe 81 and a switch valve 82. The water pipe 81 is provided with an opening above the brake pad 3. The switch valve 82 is fixedly connected with an extension handle 83. The extension handle 83 contacts one end of the separation spring 51 close to the lower frame 2, and the extension handle 83 is pulled by the separation spring 51 to trigger the switch valve 82 to open.

[0034] When braking is required, the separation spring 51 contracts upward, driving the extended handle 83 in contact with the separation spring 51 to move upward, thereby opening the switch valve 82, and water flows out from the opening of the water pipe 81 above the brake pad 3 and flows onto the brake pad 3. On the one hand, the toughness of the brake pad 3 is increased and the wear is reduced. On the other hand, the wooden brake pad 3 is prone to heat up or even smoke and catch fire during the high-speed friction with the flywheel, and the water can cool it down at this time.

[0035] The present application discloses an automatic deceleration braking device for a hydro-turbine generator: an elastic support component 4 supports an upper frame 1, and a brake pad 3 on the upper frame 1 rubs against a flywheel of the hydro-turbine generator to achieve braking; when braking is not needed, the tensioning component 5 is pulled, and the tensioning component 5 drives the upper frame 1 to descend, and the friction between the brake pad 3 and the flywheel is released, that is, the braking is released. During the tensioning process of the tensioning component 5, the energy storage spring 56 stores energy, and when the buckle 63 fits with the slot 64, the pawl 61 is buckled with the ratchet 53, and the tensioning component 5 stops the tensioning action; when braking is needed, the manual brake lever 71 is pushed or the brake button is pressed, and a brake command is sent through the controller 73 to achieve braking. The above method realizes the braking and brake release actions of the hydro-turbine generator.

[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in any form. Any technician familiar with the field can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the above technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes. Therefore, any changes, modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technology of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present technical solution.
