For stator core temperature measurement, it can accurately measure the temperature of the stator core, which is very important in the operation monitoring of electrical equipment.
[0003] The specific parts of a large generator set stator, such as the coil layers, stator core, and pressure plate, are usually designed to install a certain number of temperature sensors to monitor the temperature changes of these parts, so as to monitor whether the entire unit is in a normal and reliable operating state. After the unit has been running for a period of time, various factors such as vibration, heat generation, magnetic field, and electric field may cause the temperature measurement sensor to have faults such as broken resistance or large measurement error. This poses a great risk and hidden danger to the safe and reliable operation of the unit. In this case, in order to enable the temperature measurement sensor to continue monitoring the entire unit, a more stable and reliable sensor is needed, and therefore a stator core temperature measurement sensor needs to be designed.

[0027] Specific locations on the stator of large generator sets, such as between coil layers, the stator core, and the pressure plate, are typically equipped with a number of temperature sensors to monitor temperature changes and thus ensure the entire unit is operating reliably. After a period of operation, various factors such as vibration, heat generation, magnetic fields, and electric fields can cause temperature sensors to malfunction, leading to broken wires or large measurement errors. This poses a significant risk and hazard to the safe and reliable operation of the unit. Therefore, to ensure the temperature sensors can continue monitoring the entire unit, a more stable and reliable sensor is needed; hence, a stator core temperature sensor needs to be designed.
[0028] In view of this, this application proposes a stator core temperature sensor.
[0029] In the first embodiment of the stator core temperature sensor of this application, reference is made to... Figure 1The device includes: a housing 1, multiple temperature sensing elements 2 inside the housing 1, wires 201 of the multiple temperature sensing elements 2 connected to a cable 3, a shielded lead wire 301 on the cable 3, the shielded lead wire 301 being grounded, and a sleeve 4 covering the outside of the wires 201 of the multiple temperature sensing elements 2; the housing 1 can protect the temperature sensing elements 2, the multiple temperature sensing elements 2 can monitor the temperature simultaneously to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data, or one of them can be used for detection while the others are used as backups. When one temperature sensing element 2 fails, the other temperature sensing elements 2 can take over the faulty temperature sensing element 2 and continue to monitor the temperature. The grounded shielded lead wire 301 can play a role in resisting electromagnetic interference, and the sleeve 4 can provide stable isolation and insulation for the wires 201.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 Heat shrink tubing 5 is fitted at the connection point between cable 3 and the wire 201 of temperature sensing element 2, as well as at the other end of cable 3, to protect the wire 201 and cable 3 and to provide high-temperature insulation.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 The housing 1 includes a base plate 103 and a cover plate 101. A groove is provided on the base plate 103 corresponding to the temperature sensing element 2. The temperature sensing element 2 is installed in the groove. The cover plate 101 is provided on the outside of the groove. The cover plate 101 and the base plate 103 are sealed together by an adhesive layer 102, which makes it easy to put the temperature sensing element 2 into the groove of the base plate 103 and seal the cover plate 101 and the base plate 103 together by the adhesive layer 102. This keeps the temperature sensing element 2 in a closed space in the housing 1, which can prevent external water, oxygen, dust and other substances from coming into contact with the temperature sensing element 2, thus providing better protection for the temperature sensing element 2.
[0032] Specifically, the housing 1 is a rectangular structure made of insulating and thermally conductive material, such as alumina ceramic or aluminum nitride ceramic. Both alumina ceramic and aluminum nitride ceramic have excellent electrical insulation properties, high thermal conductivity, and stable chemical properties. Among them, the housing 1 made of alumina ceramic can effectively prevent leakage under high voltage conditions, ensuring that the internal components of the temperature sensing resistor RTD are electrically isolated from the outside world. This provides a safe and reliable guarantee for core temperature measurement under high electric field strength conditions. It can effectively conduct the heat of the core to the temperature sensing element inside the RTD, making the temperature measurement response more timely and preventing measurement lag due to slow heat conduction. Thus, it can more accurately reflect the temperature change of the core.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 Two temperature sensing elements 2 are configured. Each temperature sensing element 2 is a temperature-sensing resistor. The two temperature sensing elements 2 can monitor the temperature simultaneously to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data. Alternatively, one of them can be used for detection while the other is used as a backup. In addition, the configuration of two temperature sensing elements 2 can also avoid the problem of high sensor cost.
[0034] Specifically, the temperature sensing resistor is a three-wire type and conforms to the requirements of JB / T10500.1--2019 and JB / T10500.2--2019. Specifically, it can be:
[0035] Model: TST-PT100-2 / 3-426 / SY22 (Iron Core Temperature Measuring Resistor);
[0036] Accuracy class: Class B accuracy;
[0037] Wiring system: Three-wire system;
[0038] Insulation class: F (155℃);
[0039] Temperature range: 0℃~180℃;
[0040] Lead cable: 22 m in length, oil-resistant, high-temperature resistant, crack-resistant, power frequency interference resistant, corona resistant, and high insulation;
[0041] Insulation resistance: DC500V > 100MΩ;
[0042] Planar pressure resistance: 2MPa;
[0043] Withstand voltage: 50HZ, AC1500V.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 Both temperature sensing elements 2 are located near the first end of the housing 1. The wire 201 extends from the second end of the housing 1, so that the two temperature sensing elements 2 can simultaneously monitor the temperature change at similar locations. Since the two temperature sensing elements 2 are relatively close, they can almost simultaneously sense the external heat temperature, and the monitored temperatures are almost the same.
[0045] Specifically, the length of housing 1 is 130mm, the width of housing 1 is 16mm, the height of housing 1 is 6mm, and the length of cable 3 is 22m. The size of housing 1 can adapt to the corresponding wire groove of the iron core. The length of cable 3 allows cable 3 to be led out from the ventilation groove to the outside of the iron core and then to the ring plate on the base without intermediate transfer, and can directly reach the terminal box on the outer wall of the base.
[0046] In the second embodiment of the stator core temperature sensor of this application, reference is made to... Figure 2Compared to the solution in the first embodiment, the difference lies in that: one temperature sensing element 2 is located near the first end inside the housing 1, and the other temperature sensing element 2 is located near the second end inside the housing 1. The wire 201 extends from the middle position between the first end and the second end of the housing 1. This allows the two temperature sensing elements 2 to monitor temperature changes at two relatively far locations. Since the distance between the two temperature sensing elements 2 is relatively far, the time and stability of the two temperature sensing elements 2 in sensing external heat and temperature will differ. It is necessary to estimate the temperature at the location of the other temperature sensing element 2 based on the distance between the two temperature sensing elements 2. At the same time, the two temperature sensing elements 2 can also monitor temperature changes over a wider range. In addition, when one section of the housing 1 is subjected to external force, the temperature sensing element 2 located at the other end of the housing 1 can still work normally.
[0047] Specifically, the outer side of the housing 1 is covered with a coating, which is an anti-corona paint. The coating can reduce corona phenomena and prevent the main insulation from being electro-corroded.
[0048] Specifically, the length of housing 1 is 200mm, the width of housing 1 is 24.2mm, the height of housing 1 is 3.5mm, and the length of cable 3 is 22m. The dimensions of housing 1 are matched with the installation dimensions of the corresponding wire groove of the iron core. The length of cable 3 allows cable 3 to be led out from the ventilation groove to the outside of the iron core and then to the ring plate on the base without intermediate transfer, and can reach the terminal box on the outer wall of the base directly.
[0049] This application's technical solution incorporates multiple temperature-sensing elements within a housing. The housing protects these elements, allowing for simultaneous temperature monitoring to ensure data accuracy. Alternatively, one element can perform the monitoring while others serve as backups. If one element fails, the others can take over and continue monitoring. The wires connecting the multiple elements are connected by a cable with shielded leads that are grounded to prevent electromagnetic interference. The wires are also encased in a sheath for stable isolation and insulation. This design, by incorporating multiple temperature-sensing elements, ensures accurate and stable temperature monitoring. Furthermore, the housing and sheaths protect the elements and wires, effectively improving the stability and accuracy of the temperature sensor.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
