Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to an excitation rectifier for a generator. Background Technology

[0002] Brushless excitation generators are increasingly widely used in generators due to their stable voltage. As one of the important components of the brushless excitation system, the rotating rectifier rectifies the three-phase AC power induced by the exciter rotor into DC power and supplies it to the main excitation winding of the generator. The rotating rectifier generally includes a rectifier module, protection devices and DC leads.

[0003] In related technologies, patent application number CN202123275084.4 discloses a generator excitation rectification structure, including an exciter rotor hub. A rectification module is placed on the bottom inner wall of the exciter rotor hub. Movable holes are opened on both sides of the exciter rotor hub, and movable rods are slidably connected in both movable holes. The ends of the two movable rods that are far apart from each other extend to the outside of the exciter rotor hub and are fixedly connected to a connecting plate. This allows for quick and convenient installation of the rectification module onto the exciter rotor hub, saving time and effort and space, thus meeting the needs of users. However, this device lacks a locking mechanism and only limits the clamping components through limit posts and limit grooves. During long-term use, the clamping plate is prone to detachment, causing damage to the rectification module. Therefore, we propose an excitation rectification device for generators.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the inventive concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

An mounting plate 3 is welded and fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support plate 4. The mounting plate 3 has a rotating shaft inside the side closer to the exciter rotor support 2. A screw 14 is provided, one end of which penetrates the wall of the mounting plate 3. A throttle 19 is installed on the outside of the mounting plate 3 at the other end of the screw 14. A mounting block 15 is threadedly engaged on the side of the screw 14. A fixing plate 16 is integrally formed on one end of the mounting block 15. A pressure plate 17 is detachably installed on the side of the fixing plate 16 near the rectifier 1. A flexible buffer layer is glued on the side of the pressure plate 17 near the rectifier 1. The distance between the two sets of mounting plates 3 can be adjusted by the gear 9, rack 8 and connecting plate 7. With the screw 14 and pressure plate 17 on the mounting plate 3, the rectifier 1 set at the front end of the exciter rotor bracket 2 can be fixed, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the rectifier 1. The fastening nut 20 can lock the fixing mechanism to prevent loosening.

[0024] In specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 ,3 As shown, four sets of connecting studs 18 are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the pressure plate 17. One end of the connecting stud 18 passes through the fixing plate 16. The fixing plate 16 has through holes at the corresponding positions of the connecting studs 18. The side of the connecting stud 18 is fitted with a fastening nut 20. Two sets of fixing seats 12 are vertically arranged on the upper end of the connecting plate 7. A guide rod 6 is horizontally arranged inside the fixing seat 12. A guide seat 13 is passed through the guide rod 6. One end of the guide seat 13 is connected and fixed to the wall of the mounting groove 5 of the exciter rotor bracket 2. The guide rod 6, guide seat 13 and fixing seat 12 can ensure the stability of the connecting plate 7 during the movement and prevent the connecting plate 7 from deviating.

[0025] In specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, one end of the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 5 via a rotating seat. The rotating seat is fixedly connected to the wall of the mounting groove 5. A handle 19 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 10. A rear cover plate 21 is detachably mounted on the outside of the mounting groove 5. A threaded section is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 10 on the outside of the rear cover plate 21. A fastening nut 20 is provided on the threaded section. The detachable rear cover plate 21 allows for the inspection and maintenance of the mechanism in the mounting groove 5, ensuring the normal operation of the clamping assembly.

[0026] In specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the side of the exciter rotor support 2 has a through slot 22 at the corresponding position of the connecting plate 7. The rectifier 1 is a rotating rectifier. The rotating rectifier is installed at the front end of the exciter rotor support 2, near the main magnetic field winding, but does not interfere with the normal rotation of the rotor. The rotating rectifier is connected to the rotor coil through a conductive material. In this way, the DC current generated can be directly used to provide excitation current to the rotor. At the same time, the exciter is also installed on the same shaft and rotates coaxially with the main generator. The rear end of the exciter rotor support 2 is connected to the rotor shaft of the exciter through the connecting slot (not shown) on the side of the rear end cover.

[0027] In this embodiment, all components are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and connection principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the initial state, the exciter rotor support 2 is installed on the generator rotor, and the rotating rectifier is fixed at the front end of the exciter rotor support 2, close to the main magnetic field winding but without interfering with its normal rotation. The rectifier 1 is connected to the rotor coil through conductive material, ready to convert AC power into DC power to supply the rotor. When it is necessary to adjust or replace the rectifier, the operator can drive the gear 9 by rotating the handle 19 on the rotating shaft 10. The gear 9 drives the symmetrically meshing rack 8 to move, thereby pushing the connecting plate 7 to move inward or outward. The movement of the connecting plate 7 drives the support plate 4 and the mounting plate 3 to move together, changing the distance between the two sets of mounting plates 3. When the mounting plate 3 is moved to the appropriate position, the operator can use the screw 14 on the mounting plate 3 for fine adjustment. Rotating the handle on the screw 14 causes the screw 14 to drive the mounting block 15 to move along the thread direction. This pushes the fixing plate 16 closer to the rectifier 1. The pressure plate 17 on the fixing plate 16 contacts and presses the rectifier 1 through the flexible buffer layer, ensuring that it is firmly fixed on the exciter rotor support 2. The position of the mounting block 15 is locked with the fastening nut 20 to prevent it from loosening during operation. During the movement of the connecting plate 7, the guide rod 6, the guide seat 13 and the fixing seat 12 work together to ensure that the connecting plate 7 moves in a straight line and avoids deviation. One end of the guide seat 13 is connected and fixed to the wall of the mounting groove 5 of the exciter rotor support 2, providing stable support. If maintenance or repair of the internal mechanism is required, the rear cover plate 21 on the outside of the mounting groove 5 can be removed. A threaded section is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 10. The position of the rotating shaft 10 can be further locked by the matching fastening nut 20 to ensure the normal operation of the clamping assembly. When the generator is running, the AC power generated by the exciter is converted into DC power by the rotating rectifier. The DC power is directly supplied to the rotor coil to generate the required magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the rotating magnetic field in the stator to generate power output.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
