Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of generator assembly, in particular to a generator air gap measuring tool with adjustable measuring distance. Background Art
[0002] During the installation and maintenance of the generator, the adjustment of the air gap of the generator is an important link and a key process that affects the progress of the maintenance. The air gap is the gap between the rotor and the stator. The space for measuring this position is small, and the gap cannot be directly measured with a vernier caliper. At present, a measuring rod is used for assistance. The measuring rod is adjusted to be equal to the gap distance. The length of the measuring rod measured by a micrometer is the distance of the gap. For example, a generator stator-rotor gap measuring rod disclosed in publication number CN219607924U is provided with an adjustment part on the measuring rod. By adjusting the height of the adjustment part, when the spacing between the adjustment parts is determined, it is the distance of the gap. However, the defect of this measuring tool is that the size of the adjustment part needs to be adjusted outside the generator chamber. Measuring an accurate gap distance once requires repeated adjustment of the size of the adjustment part. Therefore, it is very cumbersome to repeatedly plug and unplug the measuring tool, and because the size of the adjustment part is adjusted outside the generator chamber, the accuracy is relatively low. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model proposes a generator air gap measuring tool with adjustable measuring distance, which can adjust the size of the measuring rod inside the generator chamber from outside the generator chamber, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient measurement and improved accuracy.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted: a generator air gap measuring tool with adjustable distance, including a housing, a displacement adjustment rod, a set of measuring supports, a spring, a set of measuring rods and an extension rod,
[0005] The middle section of the displacement adjustment rod is a cone, and the two ends of the displacement adjustment rod are respectively mounted on the rear shell of the shell, and the front end of the displacement adjustment rod is connected to the front shell by a thread, so as to ensure that the displacement adjustment rod generates an axial displacement in the shell when it rotates, and the tail end of the displacement adjustment rod is screwed to the extension rod, and the extension rod is located in the outer sleeve arranged on the rear shell of the shell, and the tail end is screwed to the outer sleeve.
[0006] The lower end surface of the measuring support is a conical arc groove that matches the middle section of the displacement adjustment rod, and the outer wall of the measuring support is provided with a supporting edge around it.
[0007] A set of measuring supports is arranged on the middle section of the displacement adjustment rod. The lower end surface of the measuring support forms a conical fit with the contact surface of the displacement adjustment rod. The upper end surface of the measuring support is located above the end surface of the shell. The upper and lower end surfaces of the shell are provided with pressure covers, which limit the displacement of the measuring support in the axial direction. A plurality of springs are arranged between the pressure cover and the supporting edge of the measuring support to directly act on the two, and the plurality of springs are symmetrical with the measuring support as the center.
[0008] A group of measuring rods are respectively installed on the upper end surfaces of a group of measuring supports.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the measuring support is open and sunken to form a measuring rod installation groove, and the measuring rod is installed in the measuring rod installation groove and fixed by a lock nut.
[0010] Furthermore, the depth of the measuring rod installation groove is smaller than the height of the measuring rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the measuring end surface of the measuring rod is an arc spherical surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer sleeve includes an external tube of the shell, an extension tube and a connecting sleeve. The external tube of the shell is installed on the rear shell of the outer shell. The external tube of the shell and the extension tube are connected as a whole through the connecting sleeve. The tail end of the extension rod is threadedly connected to the extension tube of the outer sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the pitch of the threaded connection between the front end of the displacement adjustment rod and the front housing is equal to the pitch of the threaded connection between the rear end of the extension rod and the extension tube of the outer sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, a double nut is installed at the end position of the tail end of the extension rod.
[0015] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0016] 1. The displacement adjustment rod and the measuring support of the present invention are combined with a cone wedge, so that when the displacement adjustment rod produces a lateral displacement, the measuring support produces a radial displacement relative to the measuring support, thereby achieving radial size adjustment of the measuring rod installed on the measuring support, which can be achieved by rotating the displacement adjustment rod from the outside, and the cone wedge matching method has high precision, which greatly reduces the adjustment error and improves the accuracy of measurement.
[0017] 2. The new model adopts a displacement adjustment rod tail screw to connect extension rods of different lengths, and adjusts the height of the measuring rod in the measuring rod installation slot, so that the air gap of more models of engines can be measured.
[0018] 3. The displacement adjustment rod and the front housing, as well as the extension rod and the outer sleeve are all screwed with the same pitch to ensure stable and synchronous transmission, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the measuring rod.
[0019] 4. This new structure adopts screw connection, which is convenient for disassembly, transportation and management.
[0020] In summary, the novel measurement process can be completed outside the generator chamber without repeatedly plugging and unplugging the measuring rod to adjust the measurement. The measurement process is highly stable, the measurement accuracy is greatly improved, and it is easy to disassemble and assemble. It can be applied to the air gap measurement of various types of generators. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
