[0002] The generator end ring is mainly used to prevent the rotor components and the excitation winding ends from deformation, displacement and eccentricity under the action of electromagnetic force and high-speed centrifugal force. Since the rotor end will be subjected to a large centrifugal force when the generator rotates at high speed, the end ring is used to fix the position of the winding end so that the end winding will not move when the rotor is running.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The figure shows a cast iron reinforced generator end ring structure, comprising a main ring 1, and also comprising a first reinforcement ring 2 and a second reinforcement ring 3 provided on both sides of the main ring 1. The main ring 1 is provided with a connecting assembly for connecting the first reinforcement ring 2 and the second reinforcement ring 3.
[0024] The connection assembly includes a plurality of reinforcing plates 401 fixedly connected to the side wall of the main ring 1 and arranged in an annular array. Each reinforcing plate 401 has a threaded hole 402 on both sides near the first reinforcing ring 2 and the second reinforcing ring 3. The side walls of the first and second reinforcing rings 2 and 3 are provided with a plurality of countersunk holes, each of which is equipped with a bolt 403. The first reinforcing ring 2 is provided with a support assembly for strengthening the support of the main ring 1.
[0025] It should be noted here that: through the setting of the connecting component, under the supporting effect of the supporting component, while improving the use strength of the main ring 1, the use of multi-component split assembly can effectively disperse the stress originally concentrated on a single component to multiple components. This method of dispersing stress helps to reduce the risk of component damage or failure due to stress concentration, thereby further enhancing the use performance of the generator end ring.
[0026] See also Figure 2-Figure 5 The support assembly shown in the figure includes a support ring 501 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first reinforcement ring 2. A plurality of support plates 502 are fixedly connected to the side of the support ring 501 close to the main ring 1. A plurality of support holes 503 are opened on the side of the main ring 1 close to the first reinforcement ring 2. Each support hole 503 is staggered with the reinforcement plate 401. Each support plate 502 is provided with a tightening assembly for tightening against the inner wall of the support hole 503.
[0027] It should be noted here that the support assembly is provided to improve the strength of the main ring 1 .
[0028] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The tightening assembly shown in the figure includes a mounting cavity provided on the support plate 502, and two opposite inner walls of the mounting cavity are provided with through holes 601, and the two through holes 601 are slidably connected to the tightening plates 602, and the ends of the two tightening plates 602 close to each other are connected to the sliding plates 603 through rubber pads, and the two sliding plates 603 are connected by four rubber rods 604 symmetrically arranged in pairs, and the support plate 502 is provided with a driving assembly for driving the two tightening plates 602;
[0029] It should be noted here that the arrangement of the pressing assembly ensures that the support plate 502 supports the support hole 503 .
[0030] See also Figure 5 The driving assembly shown in the figure includes a driving rod 701 slidably connected to the support plate 502. The driving rod 701 is located on the inner side wall of the installation cavity and is fixedly connected to multiple driving plates 702. A plurality of inclined surfaces 703 are provided on the opposite sides of the two sliding plates 603. The two ends of each driving plate 702 are respectively slidably connected to the inclined surfaces 703. The end of the driving rod 701 close to the support ring 501 is connected to the bottom wall of the installation cavity through a rubber column 704.
[0031] It should be noted here that: by setting the driving assembly, it is convenient to push the two abutting plates 602 to move away from each other, thereby achieving the abutment between the two abutting plates 602 and the inner wall of the support hole 503.
[0032] Working Principle: When using the generator end ring, first connect the first reinforcement ring 2 to the main ring 1. During the connection process of the first reinforcement ring 2, the multiple support plates 502 on one side of the first reinforcement ring 2 are inserted into the support holes 503 on the main ring 1. Then, the main ring 1 and the first reinforcement ring 2 are connected using bolts 403.
[0033] In the process of connecting the first reinforcement ring 1, the driving rod 701 on the support plate 502 will be pushed against the bottom wall of the support hole 503, thereby pushing the driving rod 701 to retract into the installation cavity. In the process of the driving rod 701 retracting into the installation cavity, the driving plate 702 will be pushed to move in the installation cavity. Further, by utilizing the interaction force between the driving plate 702 and the inclined surface 703 and the guiding effect of the through hole 601, the clamping plates 602 on one side of the sliding plate 603 will be pushed away from each other. After the main ring 1 and the first reinforcement ring 2 are connected, the two clamping plates 602 will be pushed against the inner wall of the support hole 503, thereby ensuring the supporting effect of the support plate 502 on the support hole 503.
[0034] After the first reinforcement ring 2 is connected to the main ring 1, the second reinforcement ring 3 can be connected to the main ring 1 by means of bolts 403. Thus, through the reinforcing effect of the first reinforcement ring 2 and the second reinforcement ring 3 and the supporting effect of the supporting assembly, while improving the use strength of the main ring 1, the use of multi-component split assembly can effectively disperse the stress originally concentrated on a single component to multiple components. This method of dispersing stress helps to reduce the risk of component damage or failure due to stress concentration, thereby further enhancing the performance of the generator end ring.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] See also Figure 3 This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. The main ring 1 shown in the figure is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing cavities 8, and each weight-reducing cavity 8 is staggered with the support hole 503.
[0037] It should be noted here that the provision of multiple weight-reducing cavities 8 reduces the weight of the main ring 1 while ensuring the strength of the main ring 1, thereby reducing the centrifugal force applied to the main ring during use.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] See also Figure 1 This embodiment is a further explanation of other embodiments. The main ring 1, the first reinforcement ring 2 and the second reinforcement ring 3 shown in the figure are cast from high-strength, non-magnetic austenitic steel;
[0040] It should be noted here that by using high-strength, non-magnetic austenitic steel to cast the main ring 1, the first reinforcement ring 2 and the second reinforcement ring 3, the strength performance of the main ring 1, the first reinforcement ring 2 and the second reinforcement ring 3 can be improved while avoiding interference with the magnetic field inside the generator.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
