Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment support, in particular to an automated disassembly and assembly system for a planetary gearbox rotating assembly. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the planetary gearbox rotating components produced by Santasalo for nuclear power plant circulating water pumps are large, heavy, and difficult to disassemble and assemble. The entire gearbox rotating component weighs approximately 7,000 kg. During maintenance, the planetary gears are disassembled and assembled using a forklift, U-shaped clamps, and pallets, with the assistance of at least six personnel. The forklift's low control precision and large installation errors during disassembly and assembly can easily damage and scratch the thrust discs at the bottom of the planetary gears in the gearbox. Furthermore, personnel must monitor the travel height between the forklift and the planetary gears, posing a high industrial safety risk and a heavy labor burden. The long hours also pose a significant threat to workers' health. Utility Model Content

The operator then controls the rotation of the slewing support drive assembly 1 through the visual device 3 to achieve 360° circumferential rotation of the planetary gearbox, which is convenient for personnel to inspect and repair. Of course, in this embodiment, if the automatic disassembly and assembly process requires fine-tuning, the manual mode can also be switched to intervene. That is, the system has both automatic and manual modes, which can improve work efficiency and reduce personnel working time.

Its levelness is detected by the levelness sensor module and displayed and fed back through the visual device 3. The operator can observe the bracket levelness data in real time from the visual device 3 and make adjustments accordingly.
