[0002] A hydroelectric generator is a device that converts water flow energy into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy through a generator. It primarily consists of two components: a turbine (including the runner and water guide mechanism) and a generator (including the stator, rotor, and excitation system).

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.

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, a guide bearing cooling device for a hydro-generator set includes a hydro-generator body 1, a shaft body 2 is fixed to the active end of the hydro-generator body 1, a bearing body 3 is provided on the surface of the shaft body 2, a fixing foot 4 for limiting the position of the hydro-generator body 1 is provided on the surface of the hydro-generator body 1, an active shell 5 is fixed to the surface of the fixing foot 4, a cooling mechanism 6 is provided on the surface of the active shell 5, a liquid return mechanism 7 for returning liquid is provided on the surface of the cooling mechanism 6, and a heat dissipation mechanism 8 for dissipating heat is provided on one side of the surface of the liquid return mechanism 7.

[0020] During the operation of the hydro-generator body 1 of the present invention, the staff can use the cooling mechanism 6 to cool the bearing body 3, and under the action of the liquid return mechanism 7, the coolant can be filtered and then input into the cooling mechanism 6 again to achieve the purpose of secondary utilization. In addition, under the action of the heat dissipation mechanism 8, the coolant in the liquid return mechanism 7 can be cooled and cooled, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0021] The cooling mechanism 6 includes a liquid storage shell 61 opened on one side of the surface of the working shell 5, the surface of the liquid storage shell 61 is connected to a liquid injection port 62, the surface of the liquid storage shell 61 is connected to a first liquid pump 63, the output end of the first liquid pump 63 is connected to an annular shell 64, and the surface of the annular shell 64 is connected to several spray heads 65. In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the liquid storage shell 61, the liquid injection port 62, the first liquid pump 63, the annular shell 64 and the spray head 65, under the action of the liquid injection port 62, the cooling liquid can be filled into the liquid storage shell 61, and then under the action of the first liquid pump 63, the cooling liquid in the liquid storage shell 61 can flow from the annular shell 64 to the spray head 65, and then under the action of the spray head 65, it is sprayed to the surface of the bearing body 3.

[0022] Sealing covers 9 are fixed on both sides of the surface of the annular shell 64, and the shaft body 2 passes through and rotates on the sealing covers 9. In this embodiment, the setting of the sealing covers 9 prevents the coolant from flowing out from both sides of the annular shell 64, allowing more of it to enter the liquid return mechanism 7.

[0023] The spray head 65 is an atomizing spray head, and several spray heads 65 are directed toward the bearing body 3. In this embodiment, through this arrangement, when the coolant acts on the surface of the bearing body 3 through the spray head 65, the spraying area can be increased, thereby improving the practicality of the cooling mechanism 6.

[0024] The liquid return mechanism 7 includes a filter plate 71 fixed to one side of the surface of the annular shell 64. The surface of the filter plate 71 is connected to the liquid return shell 72. The inner cavity of the liquid return shell 72 is provided with a liquid suction pipe 73. The other end of the liquid suction pipe 73 is connected to the cooling pipe 74. The other end of the cooling pipe 74 is connected to the second liquid pump 75. The other end of the second liquid pump 75 is connected to the inner cavity of the liquid storage shell 61. In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the filter plate 71, the liquid return shell 72, the liquid suction pipe 73, the cooling pipe 74 and the second liquid pump 75, under the action of the filter plate 71, the coolant can be filtered and flow into the liquid return shell 72, and under the action of the second liquid pump 75, the coolant in the liquid return shell 72 reaches the liquid storage shell 61 through the liquid suction pipe 73 and the cooling pipe 74.

[0025] The heat dissipation mechanism 8 includes a motor 81 fixed to one side of the surface of the working shell 5. The output shaft of the motor 81 is fixed with a driving rotating shaft 82.

[0026] Working principle: During use, if the bearing body 3 needs to be cooled, the staff can add coolant to the liquid storage shell 61 through the liquid injection port 62, and then use the first liquid pump 63. Under the action of the first liquid pump 63, the coolant in the liquid storage shell 61 is sprayed onto the surface of the bearing body 3 through the annular shell 64 and the liquid spray head 65, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. When the coolant flows, it will pass through the filter plate 71 and enter the liquid return shell 72. At this time, under the action of the second liquid pump 75, the suction pipe 73 can absorb the coolant in the liquid return shell 72, and return it to the liquid storage shell 61 again through the cooling pipe 74 and the suction pipe 73, so as to achieve the effect of reuse. In addition, under the action of the motor 81, the active rotating shaft 82 and the driven shaft 83 can drive the fan 84 to rotate, and through the openings on both sides of the surface of the action shell 5, air flows on the surface of the cooling pipe 74, thereby improving the cooling effect of the coolant in the cooling pipe 74 and preventing the coolant in the cooling pipe 74 from bringing too much heat into the liquid storage shell 61.
