Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to motor carbon brush technical field, concretely is motor carbon brush on -line monitoring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The device of dynamic and static contact and energy exchange. When the unit is running, the generator carbon brush needs to be in close contact with the surface of the collector ring and continuously rub to realize the energy transmission between the dynamic and static parts of the generator. Because of such long-time and continuous mechanical friction, the generator carbon brush needs to be replaced frequently. The carbon brush that is worn to a certain extent needs to be replaced in time, otherwise there is a risk that the brush holder top touches and scratches the surface of the collector ring, and even the parts heat, break or loosen due to the spark at this position, resulting in unit shutdown. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and alarm the wear of the carbon brush in real time. At present, the monitoring of the wear of the generator carbon brush is mainly realized by periodic inspection of the operation and maintenance personnel. The carbon brush of the generator is fixed on the brush holder evenly distributed around the main shaft of the generator through the brush holder, and the installation space is extremely compact. Because of the requirement of noise reduction, the generator carbon brush chamber is usually operated in a soundproof volume;

[0003] Because of the above installation and arrangement characteristics, the operation and maintenance personnel must pass through the soundproof cover and approach the carbon brush holder to observe the operation and wear of the carbon brush by naked eye during each inspection. This method of periodic manual inspection requires the inspection personnel to approach the rotating generator to observe the wear of the carbon brush by naked eye, and to determine which carbon brush needs to be replaced by the mark line on the carbon brush. This detection mode not only has the disadvantages of large workload and low efficiency of the maintenance personnel, but also requires the operation and maintenance personnel to approach the high-speed rotating unit, which has great safety hidden danger. Therefore, we propose the motor carbon brush on-line monitoring device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
