Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator maintenance technology, and specifically discloses a generator maintenance relocation device. Background Technology

[0002] For example, a twin-shaft generator, being a large generator, requires on-site overhaul because it has rotors connected to both ends. This makes it impossible to remove the rotors from their original location during overhaul, necessitating the entire generator being lifted off its original position. This requires the power plant to equip itself with heavy-duty overhead cranes, increasing construction costs. After the generator overhaul is completed, it needs to be moved back to its original position. Once in place, the generator requires alignment. If alignment is time-consuming and inefficient, it will delay the overall installation progress of the power plant. Therefore, the rationality of the generator adjustment device design directly affects the overall construction of the power plant.

[0003] The existing twin-shaft extension generator requires the use of a crane for fine-tuning and alignment after maintenance. Due to factors such as excessively long lifting ropes and difficulty in controlling the crane motor, the adjustment accuracy is often not high. This increases the difficulty of adjustment and the workload of construction personnel during on-site operation, delays the construction progress, and affects the normal progress of installation work. Therefore, a generator maintenance and relocation device is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

The lifting mechanism includes four sliding rods fixedly connected to the upper end face of the railcar and the lower end face of the support plate via ear plates. Slide plates are slidably connected to the outer walls of two sliding rods at the same height. Two symmetrically distributed scissor-type telescopic frames are movably connected to the outer walls of the two slide plates, the railcar, and the support plate via hinges. A hydraulic cylinder is installed on the upper end face of the railcar, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower slide plate.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 A generator maintenance and relocation device includes a base 1. A railcar 2 is mounted on the inner wall of the base 1 via a drive mechanism. A support plate 3 is mounted on the upper side of the railcar 2 via a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes four sliding rods 9 fixedly connected to the upper end face of the railcar 2 and the lower end face of the support plate 3 via ear plates. Slide plates 10 are slidably connected to the outer walls of two sliding rods 9 at the same height. Two symmetrically distributed scissor-type telescopic frames 11 are movably connected to the two slide plates 10 and the outer walls of the railcar 2 and the support plate 3 via hinges. A hydraulic cylinder 12 is installed on the upper end face of the railcar 2, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the lower slide plate 10.

[0021] In this embodiment: The hydraulic cylinder 12 is activated, causing the lower sliding plate 10 to move to the left. This, in turn, causes the scissor-type telescopic frame 11 to move the pallet 3 upward, thereby lifting the generator upward. Then, the drive mechanism drives the railcar 2 to move to the left, moving the generator to a position convenient for maintenance. After maintenance, the operation is reversed. The drive mechanism returns the generator to its original position, and the hydraulic cylinder 12 lowers the pallet 3, placing the generator back on the base 1. Finally, the bolts between the generator and the base 1 are tightened. This invention, through the drive mechanism and the lifting mechanism, achieves automated, precise, and safe generator relocation, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing operational risks.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes two rotating shafts 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 1, sprockets 6 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 5, chains 7 are meshed with the outer walls of the two sprockets 6, the track car 2 is fixedly connected to the chain 7, and a servo motor 8 with its output end fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 5 is installed on the outer wall of the base 1.

[0023] In this embodiment: the servo motor 8 is started, which drives one of the rotating shafts 5 to rotate, and then drives the chain 7 to rotate through the sprocket 6. The chain 7 further drives the railcar 2 to move, providing the railcar 2 with a stable, controllable and powerful traction force, and realizing the precise and smooth relocation of the generator.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the base 1 is provided with two slide rails 4 arranged along its length, and the rollers of the track car 2 are slidably connected to the slide rails 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the slide rail 4 facilitates the limiting of the railcar 2, thereby stabilizing the movement of the railcar 2.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 1 is pre-embedded in the civil engineering platform of the generator, and the generator is detachably connected to the upper end face of the base 1 by bolts.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base 1 is pre-embedded and directly connected to the generator, realizing the integrated integration of the maintenance and relocation device and the generator foundation, ensuring ultimate stability and structural strength during operation.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rubber pad is provided on the upper surface of the tray 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rubber pad increases the coefficient of friction and provides cushioning, effectively preventing the generator from sliding on the pallet 3 or being scratched, ensuring the safety of the relocation process and the integrity of the equipment.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the base 1, and the servo motor 8 and the hydraulic cylinder 12 are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0031] In this embodiment, the controller centrally controls the servo motor 8 and the hydraulic cylinder 12, thereby achieving automated, synchronized, and precise control of the device's lifting and shifting operations, which greatly improves the ease of operation and safety.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When moving the generator, first remove the bolts connecting the generator to the base 1, then start the hydraulic cylinder 12. The hydraulic cylinder 12 drives the lower sliding plate 10 to move to the left, and then drives the pallet 3 to move upward through the scissor-type telescopic frame 11, thereby driving the generator to move upward and lifting the generator. Then start the servo motor 8, which drives one of the rotating shafts 5 to rotate, and then drives the chain 7 to rotate through the sprocket 6. The chain 7 further drives the railcar 2 to move, thus moving the generator to a position that is easy to maintain. After maintenance is completed, reverse the operation, send the generator back to its original position through the drive mechanism, and drive the pallet 3 to descend through the hydraulic cylinder 12 to place the generator back on the base 1. Finally, tighten the bolts between the generator and the base 1. This utility model realizes the automation, precision and safety of generator relocation by using the drive mechanism and the lifting mechanism, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and reduces operational risks.
