Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of deformation measurement, in particular to a deformation monitoring device for hoisting a hydro-generator rotor bolt. Background Art
[0002] A hydropower station's turbine generator set is a massive mechanical assembly, and the turbine rotor is the heaviest component. During turbine generator maintenance, the rotor must be hoisted from the generator pit to the rotor maintenance station. The rotor can only be hoisted after securely connecting it to the rotor using a dedicated rotor hoisting tool on a crane (bridge crane). This dedicated rotor hoisting tool securely connects the rotor to the rotor using rotor bolts. During the hoisting process, the rotor bolts can deform due to factors such as gravity, stress, and metal fatigue. Before fatigue failure occurs, the connecting bolts don't exhibit noticeable macroscopic plastic deformation, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye. This failure is difficult to predict and poses a significant safety hazard. During rotor hoisting, the bolts, as crucial fasteners connecting the hoisting fixture to the rotor, are crucial for the safety of the entire process. Deformed bolts can compromise the tightness of the rotor-to-hoisting connection and may even break, potentially causing an accident. During the hoisting process, personnel cannot observe the deformation status of the bolts. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the rotor bolts during the hoisting process, an efficient and accurate monitoring device for the deformation of the hoisted hydro-generator rotor bolts is developed, which is of great significance for ensuring the safety of the unit maintenance and hoisting process.
