[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a rotating tool for generator thrust pad maintenance, comprising:

[0029] A lower rack 1 is internally provided with a thrust bearing support table 2 and a thrust bearing 3 arranged on the thrust bearing support table 2, a maintenance opening 11 is arranged on the side wall of the lower rack 1, the thrust bearing support table 2 comprises a lower support table 21 and an upper support table 22, the upper support table 22 is arranged on the lower support table 21, and a mounting hole 221 is arranged on the upper support table 22;

[0030] A plurality of connecting assemblies 5, each of which comprises a connecting rod 51 and a limiting head 52 connected to each other, and the connecting rod 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 221 on the upper support table 22;

[0031] A plurality of rotating devices 4, each of which comprises a lifting assembly 42 and a moving assembly 41 arranged below the lifting assembly 42, a clamping block 43 is arranged on the top of the lifting assembly 42, the clamping block 43 is clamped with the limiting head 52, in the case that the limiting head 52 is lifted by the clamping block 43, the upper support table 22 is separated from the lower support table 21, the moving assembly 41 drives the upper support table 22 to rotate, so that the un-maintained thrust pad 31 in the thrust bearing 3 corresponds to the maintenance opening 11.

[0032] Specifically, the example plurality of rotating devices 4 includes two, and the lifting assembly 42 of each rotating device 4 is connected with the upper support table 22 inside the lower rack 1 through the connecting assembly 5. After the clamping block 43 of the lifting assembly 42 is connected with the limiting head 52 of the connecting assembly 5, the upper support table 22 is separated from the lower support table 21 in the case that the clamping block 43 of the lifting assembly 42 of the two rotating devices 4 lifts the limiting head 52, and the upper support table 22 can be rotated under the driving of the moving assembly 41. In this way, the thrust bearing 3 is rotated, and the un-repaired thrust pad 31 in the thrust bearing 3 is moved into the repair opening 11, and the worker can take out the thrust pad 31 through the repair opening 11 for repair or replacement.
