Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of generator repair equipment, in particular to a bearing disassembly and cutting tool. Background technology:

[0002] After long-term operation, the rotor bearings of wind turbines are subject to wear and tear and need to be disassembled and replaced. Since the rotor shaft and bearings are tightly fitted, disassembly is inconvenient. The previous method was to manually use a flamethrower to heat the inner ring of the bearing to expand it, making it easier and faster to disassemble.

[0003] Since the tower of a wind turbine is an enclosed space, performing hot work in a closed space poses a serious safety hazard. For safety reasons, it is currently expressly prohibited to perform hot work in the tower of a wind turbine. In order to disassemble the bearings, workers currently use angle grinders to cut and destroy the bearings to separate them from the rotor shaft. However, when manually holding the angle grinder for cutting, there is a safety hazard of the grinding disc breaking and injuring people at close range. In addition, the labor intensity is high and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility model content:

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a bearing disassembly and cutting tool which is conducive to reducing labor intensity, saving time and labor.

[0005] The utility model is implemented by the following technical scheme: a bearing disassembly and cutting tool, which includes a shaft sleeve, a support plate, a connecting plate, a screw and a connecting seat; a top screw is screwed on the shaft sleeve, the outer wall of the shaft sleeve is fixed with the support plate, the side plate surface of the support plate is fitted with the connecting plate, a long hole is opened on the connecting plate, the screw passes through the long hole and is screwed to the support plate; a screw rod parallel to the shaft sleeve is screwed through the connecting plate, and a guide rod parallel to the screw rod is slidably penetrated on the connecting plate; the top end of the guide rod is fixed with the connecting seat, and the top end of the screw rod is rotatably connected to the connecting seat; an angle grinder is installed on the connecting seat.

[0006] Furthermore, a handwheel is fixed to the other end of the screw rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a ball bearing is embedded in the connecting seat, and the end of the screw rod is tightly fitted with the inner ring of the ball bearing.

[0008] Furthermore, a pressure cover is fastened to the end of the connecting seat, and the pressure cover is connected to the connecting seat by bolts. The fastening point between the connecting seat and the pressure cover is provided with a mounting port that matches the handle of the angle grinder.

[0009] Advantages of the present invention: When an operator operates the hand wheel and rotates the screw rod, under the guidance of the guide rod, the connecting seat drives the angle grinder to move toward the bearing on the rotor shaft, and starts cutting from the outer edge of the bearing from the outside to the inside until the bearing on one side of the rotor shaft is cut along the axis of the rotor shaft; then the top screw is loosened, the sleeve is rotated 180 degrees around the rotor shaft, and according to the above process, the other side of the bearing is cut along the axis of the rotor shaft.

[0010] The utility model is used to cut and disassemble the bearing on the rotor shaft without the need for fire or a handheld angle grinder. The operator only needs to operate the hand wheel to drive the angle grinder to cut the bearing, and stay away from the angle grinder to avoid sudden breakage of the grinding disc and injury accidents. In addition, the entire operation process is simple, saving time and effort and reducing labor intensity. Description of the drawings:
