AI Technical Summary
In existing hydro-turbine generators, stress concentration is prone to occur at the keyway notch on the inner side of the yoke due to centrifugal force, resulting in bending deformation or cracks, affecting the reliability and safety of the generator. The problem is particularly significant in large-capacity and high-speed generators.
A new yoke structure is designed, and an interpolar groove is set between adjacent inner keyways, including an arc edge and a beveled edge. The beveled edge forms a 45° angle with the inner circular edge. The yoke radial key and tangential key are used to cooperate with the rotor bracket vertical ribs to release the keyway stress and avoid new stress concentration points.
It effectively reduces the pulling force of the inner keyway, improves the stability and reliability of the yoke structure, ensures the concentricity of the yoke and the rotor bracket, reduces the stress concentration of the keyway, and improves the safety of the generator.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of generators, in particular to a novel magnetic yoke. Background Art
[0002] The yoke is one of the most critical components in a hydro-turbine generator. It secures the magnetic poles on the outside and connects to the rotor frame on the inside, forming a key component of the generator's magnetic circuit. Typically, the yoke is constructed from a laminated structure consisting of several identically shaped yoke sheets, or from stacked, integral steel plates or forgings. To connect to the rotor frame, the yoke's inner circular edge is typically notched, with a corresponding notch on the rotor frame's side. A yoke key connects the two.
[0003] For example, in the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent document with publication number CN220857733U and authorization announcement date of April 26, 2024 is proposed. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: a new type of combined yoke key structure for a high-speed pumped storage unit, including a rotor bracket, a yoke and a yoke key, the yoke key including independently arranged radial keys and tangential keys, the rotor bracket and the yoke both have keyways, and after the two are matched, a keying space for the radial key is formed in the middle of the yoke keyway, and a keying space for the tangential key is formed at both ends of the yoke keyway.
[0004] During actual use of the above technical solution, the following problems may arise: when the generator is working, due to the centrifugal force of the magnetic poles and the yoke itself, stress concentration will be formed at the sharp corners of the keyway notch on the inner side of the yoke. Therefore, the sharp corners of the keyway notch on the inner side of the yoke sheet are prone to bending deformation or cracks, which seriously affects the reliability and safety of the generator.
[0005] In order to release the strain energy at the keyway notch on the inner side of the yoke, the current structure is to make a rounded corner smooth transition or adopt a smooth groove design at the sharp corner of the keyway on the inner side of the yoke to reduce the stress concentration of the inner keyway. However, considering the matching relationship between the yoke key and the keyway on the inner side of the yoke, the size of the rounded corner or groove of the inner keyway is limited. In addition, for large-capacity and high-speed generator motors, due to their large centrifugal force, simply reducing their stress concentration is not enough. There is an urgent need for a yoke structure that can meet installation requirements and reduce stress concentration at the keyway. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a new type of magnetic yoke, which can release the strain energy at the keyway notch on the inner side of the magnetic yoke and reduce the pulling force on the keyway on the inner side of the magnetic yoke.
[0007] The utility model is realized by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0008] A novel magnetic yoke comprises a magnetic yoke body and a plurality of inner keyways for cooperating with vertical ribs of a rotor support; an interpolar groove is further provided between two adjacent inner keyways.
[0009] The interpolar groove includes an arcuate edge, and the arcuate edge is concentric with the inner circular edge of the yoke body.
[0010] The interpolar groove further comprises two oblique edges, one end of each of the two oblique edges is respectively connected to the inner circular edge of the yoke body, and the other end is respectively transitionally connected to the two ends of the arc edge through the arc edge.
[0011] The angle between the oblique edge and the inner circular edge of the yoke body is 45°.
[0012] The inner keyway includes three right-angled sides connected in sequence, and the intersection of two adjacent right-angled sides is a rounded corner or a groove.
[0013] Each inner keyway is matched with the vertical rib of the rotor bracket through a yoke radial key and a yoke tangential key.
[0014] Each inner keyway is matched with the vertical rib of the rotor support through a yoke radial key and two yoke tangential keys.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] 1. The utility model reduces the pulling force on the inner keyway without introducing a new stress concentration point by arranging an interpolar groove between two adjacent inner keyways, thereby fundamentally solving the problem of excessive stress in the inner keyway.
[0017] 2. The interpolar groove includes an arcuate edge. The arrangement of the arcuate edge can not only release the stress of the keyway inside the yoke, but also provide effective support for the edge of the yoke that transmits torque tangentially, thereby achieving a better effect.
[0018] 3. The setting of the bevel edge and the arc edge makes the structure of the inter-pole groove more stable and can better release the strain at the keyway notch on the inner side of the yoke.
[0019] 4. Due to the setting of the inter-pole groove, the intersection of the two adjacent right-angled sides of the inner keyway can be set as a rounded corner or a groove, which can further reduce the stress concentration of the inner keyway.
[0020] 5. The tangential key of the yoke can transmit the torque of the unit. The radial key of the yoke can ensure that the yoke and the rotor bracket remain concentric. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
