Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic bearing clearance measurement technology, and in particular to a clearance measurement device for magnetic levitation generator sets. Background Technology

[0002] ORC magnetic levitation centripetal turbine generator sets are special turbine devices that utilize organic working fluids as heat transfer and circulation media to generate electricity through the absorption and release of heat by the organic working fluids. Due to the relatively high cost of the working fluids, there can be no gas loss of the organic working fluids in the power generation system and during the circulation process.

[0003] To ensure the unit's sealing, the main equipment and magnetic bearing housing must be made as a single unit. Therefore, three clearance adjustment positions, A1, A2, and A3, are designed. This device measures and adjusts the clearances at positions A1, A2, and A3, ensuring the rotor is assembled according to the design values ​​during assembly to guarantee accurate axial positioning. However, measuring and adjusting the clearances A1, A2, and A3 typically requires repeated disassembly and reassembly of the single-unit rotor. This repeated disassembly and reassembly is not only labor-intensive but also causes wear on the rotor body. In severe cases, since rotor assembly requires hoisting, damage to the assembly surfaces during hoisting can render the entire rotor unusable. Utility Model Content

[0044] The front support assembly 2 includes a front support 17, a rolling bearing, a bearing cover 14, and a locking screw 16. The rolling bearing is embedded in the front support 17 and is axially fixed by the bearing cover 14 and the locking screw 16.

[0045] The axial adjustment device 4 includes a handwheel 8, a ball screw 11 and a sliding seat. The ball screw 11 is parallel to the axial slide rail of the base 6. One end is connected to the handwheel 8, and the other end away from the handwheel 8 drives the sliding seat 5 to move along the axial slide rail through the screw nut.

[0046] The radial adjustment device 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding seat 5, including a front adjusting screw 13 and a rear adjusting screw 12, which are used to finely adjust the radial position of the front support seat 17.

[0047] The magnetic dial indicator mounting position 203 is located on the side of the front support 17, and the dial indicator is fixed by magnetic attraction. It is used to measure the gaps A1, A2, and A3 between the rotor 201 and the support. The magnetic dial indicator is fixed to the adjustment fixture 202 by magnetic force.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the rear support 1 and the base 6 are rigidly connected by locating pins and bolts;

[0049] The sliding seat 5 of the axial adjustment device 4 is slidably engaged with the axial slide rail of the base 6 via the ball screw 11.

[0050] The front support assembly 2 is fixed to the sliding seat 5 by bolts, and the axis of the front support 17 and the axis of the rear support 1 are kept coaxial by the radial adjustment device 3;

[0051] The roller 7 is bolted to the bottom of the base 6 and is equipped with a self-locking pedal to fix its position.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the front adjusting screw 13 and the rear adjusting screw 12 of the radial adjusting device 3 are perpendicular to the axis of the sliding seat 5 and have opposite thread directions, so that the radial fine adjustment of the front support seat 17 can be achieved by synchronous rotation.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, an anti-reverse groove is provided between the ball screw 11 and the slide seat 5 to limit the displacement of the slide seat 5 in the non-operating state.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, the contact surface between the front support 17 and the sliding seat 5 is a V-shaped guide rail structure, which achieves linear guidance during radial adjustment through the guide rail slider.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, the magnetic gauge mount 203 is provided with a rotatable bracket for adjusting the measuring angle of the dial gauge 20, and is configured with a data recording module to store gap data in real time.

It should be noted that both are vertically fixed to the axial slide rail of the base 6 by locating pins and bolts, ensuring coaxiality with the rotor axis. The bottoms of the front and rear bearing supports are positioned with the slide rail of the base 6 through locating pin holes and rigidly fixed by bolts to prevent displacement.

[0061] The rear support 1 directly supports the rear end of the rotor and maintains non-contact support with the rotor through a magnetic levitation bearing or an auxiliary protection bearing.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, a support bearing 15 is also provided at one end of the front support base 17 near the bearing cover 14. It should be noted that the support bearing 15 is vertically fixed to the slide rail or frame of the base 6 by locating pins and bolts to ensure that it is coaxial with the rotor axis.

[0063] Support bearing 15 typically functions as an auxiliary protective bearing, used in conjunction with active magnetic levitation bearings (such as permanent magnet bias bearings) to provide temporary mechanical support in the event of magnetic levitation failure. During normal operation or in the event of a magnetic levitation system malfunction, support bearing 15 bears the rotor's weight through rigid contact, preventing the rotor from falling or colliding. It also provides stability assurance: working in conjunction with the magnetic levitation bearings, it reduces vibration and misalignment during high-speed rotation, improving system reliability.

[0064] The working principle of this utility model:

[0065] First, the gap measuring device is moved to a suitable spatial position using roller 7, and the entire device is fixed by roller self-locking. The tooling is radially adjusted using rear adjusting screw 12 and front adjusting screw 13 to make the rear support seat 1 and the radial adjustment device 3 coaxial. The span between the front support seat 17 and the rear support seat 1 is adjusted by turning handwheel 8. After adjusting to a suitable position, the rotor 201 is ready to be lowered. The rotor 201 is lifted to a suitable position and lowered into the device using a gantry crane, and locked with locking screw 16. The rotor 201 is adjusted on the rear support seat 1, and the magnetic gauge is installed at the magnetic gauge mounting position 203. The assembler pushes the rotor 201 horizontally and axially at the front end of the rotor to push the rotor to the extreme position (i.e., the end face of the thrust disk is in contact with the end face of the thrust magnetic bearing). Then the magnetic gauge is reset, and the rotor is pulled again so that the end face of the rotor thrust disk is in close contact with the end face of the thrust magnetic bearing on the other side. Record the dial indicator data; this data is the magnetic bearing clearance value A1. Repeat the same steps to measure the clearances A2 and A3 in sequence.

[0066] By adopting the above-disclosed technical solution of this utility model, the following beneficial effects are obtained:

[0067] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0068] 1. It can reduce the wear on the rotor caused by repeated disassembly and reassembly of the integral magnetic levitation bearing rotor due to clearance measurement.

[0069] 2. It can reduce the risk of damage to the rotor during manual hoisting when the integral magnetic levitation bearing rotor is repeatedly disassembled and reassembled due to clearance adjustment.

[0070] 3. It can simplify the steps of manually adjusting the rotor of the integral magnetic levitation bearing and reduce the workload of personnel.

[0071] 4. This gap adjustment device has functions such as being movable and having self-locking rollers, avoiding the limitation of needing to be hoisted when moving.

[0072] 5. The device has high strength and can adapt to rotors with higher loads under static load. The front and rear support seats are connected to the base with screws, making disassembly convenient.

[0073] 6. The device is adjustable axially and radially, making it more adaptable than traditional rotor tooling.
