[0027] As the single-unit capacity of wind turbines continues to increase, the weight of the generator rotor is getting larger and larger. The original shaft head fixing tooling is difficult to meet the requirements for the protection and transportation of bearings in high-power generators. During the transportation of wind turbines, due to improper protection and complex road conditions, the motor rotor has radial vibration and axial movement, resulting in indentations on the bearing raceway surface and affecting the safe operation of the motor.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1, the present utility model provides a bearing transportation protection device 100, which includes a radial fixing device 1 and an axial fixing device 2; the radial fixing device 1 includes a contact portion 11 and a first fixing portion 12, the contact portion 11 is fixedly installed on the first fixing portion 12, the contact portion 11 is used to contact the side wall surface of the rotor of the bearing, and the first fixing portion 12 is used to be fixedly installed on the bearing structure; the axial fixing device 2 includes a pressing portion 21 and a second fixing portion 22, the pressing portion 21 is fixedly installed on the second fixing portion 22, the pressing portion 21 is used to contact the end face of the rotor of the bearing, and the second fixing portion 22 is used to be fixed to the bearing structure.

[0029] In the bearing transportation protection device 100 provided by the present utility model, during the transportation of the bearing, the first fixing portion 12 and the second fixing portion 22 are simultaneously arranged on the bearing structure. The first fixing portion 12 fixes the position of the contact portion 11, so that the contact portion 11 contacts the side wall surface of the rotor of the bearing, thereby realizing the restriction of the radial movement of the rotor. The second fixing portion 22 fixes the position of the pressing portion 21, so that the pressing portion 1 presses on the end face of the rotor of the bearing, restricting the axial movement of the rotor, and overcoming the radial and axial impact loads of the rotor during the transportation of the motor.

[0030] It should be noted that there are various implementation manners for the bearing structure, such as the protective housing of the bearing, or the transportation chassis tooling, the machine base end plate, etc., which are not specifically limited herein. In this embodiment, the first fixing portion 12 and the second fixing portion 22 can be fixedly installed on the machine base end plate of the bearing, or can be fixedly installed on the transportation chassis of the bearing, as long as the fixed installation of the first fixing portion 12 and the second fixing portion 22 can be realized.

[0031] It should be noted that there are various implementation manners for the contact portion 11. In this embodiment, the contact portion 11 includes a contact plate. In this embodiment, the side wall surface of the rotor is contacted through the plate to facilitate hard contact and ensure that the rotor does not shake.

[0032] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed on the contact plate 11, and the limiting groove is used to accommodate the rotor of the bearing. In this embodiment, the rotor of the bearing is accommodated through the limiting groove, ensuring that the rotor can be restricted on the contact plate and avoiding the separation of the rotor and the contact plate during shaking, thus ensuring the stable contact of the contact portion 11.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the abutting plate 11 includes an abutting semi-ring, and the inner side of the abutting semi-ring forms the limiting groove. The abutting semi-ring is sleeved on the side wall of the rotor in such a way that the structure is simple and reliable.

[0034] In addition, the first fixing portion 12 includes a fixing seat. The fixing seat includes an installation end and a connection end which are arranged oppositely. The installation end is used for installing on the bearing supporting structure, and the connection end is fixedly connected to the abutting portion. In this embodiment, the first fixing portion 12 is formed by the fixing seat, and the fixing seat and the abutting plate are fixedly connected, so that the abutting plate remains fixed in position relative to the supporting structure, and further abuts tightly against the bearing, avoiding the bearing from generating a position in the radial direction, thereby protecting the bearing from generating radial displacement.

[0035] It should be noted that the abutting portion 11 is fixedly installed on the connection end. Among them, there are various ways of fixed installation. For example, the abutting portion 11 is directly installed on the connection end by welding or bolting.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the radial fixing device 1 further includes a radial pull rod 13. The two ends of the radial pull rod 13 are respectively fixedly installed on the abutting plate and the fixing seat. In this embodiment, the fixing connection between the abutting plate and the fixing seat is realized through the radial pull rod 13, which can withstand a large impact. At the same time, it can adapt to different installation angles and installation environments.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the abutting plate is installed on the fixing seat through the radial pull rod 13, and the abutting plate and the fixing seat are spaced apart. The rotor of the bearing can be arranged between the abutting plate and the fixing seat, and the radial movement of the rotor of the bearing is controlled by the tension. It is also possible to make the rotor outside the abutting plate and the fixing seat, and the radial movement of the rotor is controlled by the pressure.

[0038] It should be noted that the two ends of the radial pull rod 13 are respectively fixed to the abutting plate and the fixing seat, and there are various fixing methods. For example, it is fixed by welding.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, a first threaded hole is formed on the abutting plate, and a first external thread is formed on the outer sidewall of the radial pull rod 13. The radial pull rod is threadedly installed into the first threaded hole. In this embodiment, the radial pull rod 13 and the abutting plate are fixed by means of threaded connection, which can be quickly disassembled and installed. At the same time, the connection position between the radial pull rod 13 and the abutting plate can be adjusted by rotating the radial pull rod 13, so as to adjust the abutting force of the abutting plate on the rotor of the bearing, accurately control the magnitude of the torque, and control the radial preload force.

[0040] Similarly, a second threaded hole is formed on the fixing seat, and a second external thread is formed on the outer sidewall of the radial pull rod. The radial pull rod 13 is threadedly installed into the second threaded hole. In this embodiment, the radial pull rod 13 and the fixing seat are fixedly connected by threaded connection. After the abutting plate is abutted against the rotor, the magnitude of the torque can be adjusted by adjusting the connection between the radial pull rod 13 and the fixing seat, and the radial preload force can be controlled.

[0041] It should be noted that in the connection methods of the above-mentioned radial pull rod 13 and the fixing seat, and the radial pull rod 13 and the abutting plate, either one can exist, or both can exist at the same time, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] In this embodiment of China, both ends of the radial pull rod 13 are installed on the fixing seat and the abutting plate by means of threaded connection, so as to facilitate torque adjustment in different directions. At the same time, the distance between the abutting plate and the fixing seat can be adjusted to facilitate adaptation to bearings of different sizes.

[0043] On the other hand, the abutting portion and the first fixing portion form a radial limiting group. There are two radial limiting groups, and the two radial limiting groups are respectively used to be arranged at both ends of the rotor of the bearing. In this embodiment, there are two radial limiting groups, which perform radial limiting at both ends of the bearing respectively, and can avoid the rotor generating a certain offset inside the bearing caused by unilateral limiting, and press from both sides at the same time to ensure the safety of the rotor.

[0044] It should be noted that the abutting surfaces of the two abutting plates can be arranged in the same direction or at an angle. In this embodiment, the abutting surfaces of the two abutting plates are arranged at an angle, so as to perform abutting limit from different directions, so as to ensure that the rotor will not generate position offset under high pressure.

[0045] On the other hand, the pressing part 21 includes a pressing plate, and one end face of the pressing plate forms a pressing surface for pressing against the rotor end face of the bearing. In this embodiment, by pressing the rotor end face of the bearing, the position of the rotor in the axial direction is pressed and limited to prevent axial movement, with a simple and reliable structure, offsetting the axial impact force of the rotor.

[0046] It should be noted that, to facilitate the pressing plate pressing against the end face of the rotor, a receiving groove is formed on the pressing plate for receiving the rotor end of the bearing to prevent the rotor from wobbling on the pressing plate.

[0047] Furthermore, the second fixing part 22 includes an axial pull rod. One end of the axial pull rod is fixed to the pressing plate, and the other end is used for fixedly connecting to the bearing support structure. In this embodiment, the pressing plate is fixed to the bearing support structure by means of a pull rod, and the axial pre-tightening force can be controlled according to the installation torque of the pull rod.

[0048] Even further, a through hole is formed through the pressing plate, and a third external thread is formed on the outer side wall of the axial pull rod; the second fixing part further includes a fixing nut. The axial pull rod passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the fixed thread. In this embodiment, the pressing plate is installed on the bearing pull rod by means of a nut, which is convenient for the installation of the pressing plate. After the axial pull rod is installed, the pressing plate can be installed on the bearing pull rod by means of bolt connection with the nut, with a simple and reliable structure.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
