DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3 And specific embodiments discuss the present invention in detail.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a generator rotor retaining ring removal tool for removing retaining rings 2 from the ends of a generator rotor 1. Retaining rings 2 are fixed to both ends of the generator rotor 1. The tool comprises a fixed fixture 3 fixed to the generator rotor 1 and a movable fixture 4 movably disposed on the generator rotor 1. The fixed fixture 3 is fixed in the middle of the generator rotor 1, and the movable fixture 4 is located between the fixed fixture 3 and the retaining ring 2.

[0025] The fixing clamp 3 includes two first half rings 30, one end of the two first half rings 30 is hinged to each other, and the other end of the first half ring 30 is a movable end. The two first half rings 30 can form a complete ring and are sleeved on the generator rotor 1. A buffer pad 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first half ring 30. When the two first half rings 30 hold the generator rotor 1 tightly, the buffer pad 31 presses against the generator rotor 1. The buffer pad 31 can not only reduce the damage of the first half ring 30 to the generator rotor 1, but also increase the friction between the first half ring 30 and the generator rotor 1, so that the fixing clamp 3 is stably fixed on the generator rotor 1.

[0026] The movable clamp 4 includes two second half rings 40, one end of the two second half rings 40 is hinged to each other, and the other end of the second half ring 40 is a movable end. The two second half rings 40 can form a complete ring and are sleeved on the generator rotor 1. The inner diameter of the second half ring 40 is larger than the diameter of the generator rotor 1, so that the second half ring 40 can move on the generator rotor 1. A plurality of rollers 41 are provided on the inner wall of the second half ring 40 along the circumferential direction. The rollers 41 roll on the generator rotor 1. When the movable clamp 4 moves, the second half ring 40 is moved by the rollers The column 41 moves on the generator rotor 1, thereby reducing the friction between the second half ring 40 and the generator rotor 1 and reducing damage to the generator rotor 1; a thermal insulation pad 42 is fixedly connected to the side of the second half ring 40 close to the protective ring 2, and the second half ring 40 is in contact with the protective ring 2 through the thermal insulation pad 42. Since there is an interference fit between the protective ring 2 and the generator rotor 1, it is more convenient to heat the protective ring 2 and then remove it. The thermal insulation pad 42 can isolate the heat of the protective ring 2, thereby reducing thermal damage to the second half ring 40 and extending the service life of the second half ring 40.

[0027] A locking assembly 5 is provided at the movable end of the first half ring 30 and the movable end of the second half ring 40. The locking assembly 5 on the first half ring 30 is used as an example for explanation below. The locking assembly 5 includes two locking plates 50, which are respectively fixedly connected to the movable ends of the two first half rings 30. A U-shaped locking groove 51 is provided in the two locking plates 50. A threaded rod 52 is rotatably connected to one of the locking plates 50, and the threaded rod 52 is movably set in the locking groove 51 of the other locking plate 50. A locking nut 53 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 52, and the locking nut 53 presses the locking plate 50, thereby locking the two first half rings 30 together; two shift rods 54 are fixedly connected to the locking nut 53, and the shift rod 54 facilitates the staff to manually rotate the locking nut 53.

[0028] A jacking assembly 6 for pushing the movable clamp 4 is provided between the fixed clamp 3 and the movable clamp 4. The jacking assembly 6 is provided in two groups and is located on both sides of the fixed clamp 3. The jacking assembly 6 includes a first fixed block 60 fixed on the outer wall of the first half ring 30 and a second fixed block 61 fixed on the outer wall of the second half ring 40. A limiting cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the end face of the first fixed block 60 facing the second fixed block 61, a jack 63 is inserted in the limiting cylinder 62, a limiting groove 610 is opened in the second fixed block 61, and the piston rod of the jack 63 is inserted in the limiting groove 610.

[0029] Specifically, a plurality of receiving grooves 620 are circumferentially provided on the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 62, and a tightening block 621 is movably provided in the receiving groove 620. A spring 622 is provided between the tightening block 621 and the bottom of the receiving groove 620. The tightening block 621 presses against the jack 63 under the elastic action of the spring 622, thereby further improving the stability of the jack 63; the side of the tightening block 621 close to the opening of the limiting cylinder 62 is provided with an inclined surface for facilitating the insertion of the jack 63. When the jack 63 is inserted into the limiting cylinder 62, the jack 63 pushes the tightening block 621 to move toward the inside of the receiving groove 620 through the inclined surface.

[0030] An operating frame 7 is provided between the two jacks 63. The operating frame 7 includes a connecting rod 70. Sleeves 71 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 70. The sleeve 71 is sleeved on the handle of the jack 63. An operating rod 72 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the connecting rod 70. The operating frame 7 can operate the two jacks 63 at the same time, thereby ensuring that the jacks 63 on both sides are lifted synchronously.

[0031] The implementation principle of the generator rotor guard ring disassembly tool provided by the utility model is as follows: when disassembling the guard ring 2 on the generator rotor 1, first fix the fixed clamp 3 on the generator rotor 1 through the locking assembly 5, and then put the movable clamp 4 on the generator rotor 1 through the locking assembly 5, and the movable clamp 4 abuts the guard ring 2 through the thermal insulation pad 42, and then insert the jack 63 into the limit cylinder 62, adjust the length of the jack 63 so that the piston rod of the jack 63 is inserted into the limit groove 610 and abuts the second fixed block 61, and then heat the guard ring 2. When heated to 200°C, install the operating frame 7 on the jack 63, and operate the jacks 63 on both sides synchronously. The jack 63 pushes the movable clamp 4 to move, and the movable clamp 4 pushes the guard ring 2 to move, thereby removing the guard ring 2.

[0032] The above further describes the present invention with the help of specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
