Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to motor cooling technical field, more exactly, it relates to a kind of external motor cooling system of permanent magnet direct drive medium speed coal mill. BACKGROUND

[0002] Permanent magnet speed regulation is the transmission technology of torque transmission through air gap, it is based on modern magnetism as basic theory, the air gap or coupling area between permanent magnet and conductor is adjusted, the output torque of load end is changed, so that the change of load end rotating speed is realized, and the continuous control of flow is achieved.

[0003] The feature is that mechanical connection is not needed between motor and load shaft, when motor drives conductor disc to rotate, strong magnetic field generated by cutting permanent magnet disc, and then eddy current is generated in conductor disc and reverse induction magnetic field is established, forming magnetic torque. Since the torque output to conductor disc by motor is equal to the torque output to load end by permanent magnet disc, when permanent magnet speed regulation mechanism receives a speed regulation instruction, the size of air gap or meshing surface adjustment mode between conductor disc and permanent magnet disc is adjusted, the torque is changed, so that the change of load rotating speed is realized.

[0004] The conventional coal mill of large-scale thermal power generator set is motor + speed reducer + coal mill structure, in recent years, with the gradual development of frequency conversion speed regulation device and permanent magnet speed regulation device, it has become one of the effective measures to save cost. Large-scale thermal power generator set coal mill uses permanent magnet direct drive medium speed coal mill, which has been applied in individual power plants. The magnetic force coupling device of permanent magnet speed regulation replaces the conventional rigid coupling, so that there is no mechanical connection between motor and load, and the vibration on both sides will not be transmitted. It has been proved that, after using permanent magnet speed regulation device, the vibration can be reduced by about 80%. The difficulty of fault finding is easy, the number of fault points is small, and the required personnel is low. Only bench worker needs to maintain permanent magnet mechanical equipment, the operation is simple, and the operation and maintenance cost is small.

[0005] When permanent magnet direct drive medium speed coal mill starts, the air gap is adjusted to the maximum to realize no-load start, which can greatly reduce motor starting current and starting time. When motor reaches rated rotating speed, the load is started smoothly by adjusting air gap, and starting current is reduced.

[0006] The permanent magnet motor of permanent magnet direct drive medium speed coal mill is composed of bottom support bearing, middle guide bearing and upper sliding bearing, and the permanent magnet motor is of integrated structure, and each bearing is self-lubricated by oil bath. In actual operation, the temperature of bearing of permanent magnet direct drive medium speed coal mill is increased, and the temperature is close to alarm temperature, especially in summer environment with high temperature, the oil temperature is slowly cooled, the oil temperature is high, the motor bearing temperature high alarm condition frequently occurs, and there is a risk of oil quality high-temperature failure in long-time operation.
