In the embodiment, two stair modules 3 are provided for the convenience of workers to go up and down. The support module 1 and the stair module 3 are connected with each other to form a ring-shaped maintenance platform, as shown, Figure 10 which is installed on the inner side of the stator 2, and other arc-shaped maintenance platforms can also be formed, which can be used to maintain the outer side of the stator 2 or the inner and outer sides of the rotor.

[0039] In the embodiment, in order to quickly splice and disassemble the support modules 1, the vertical rods between the support modules 1 are connected through connectors 19. As shown, Figure 5 , 6As shown, the connector 19 includes two fixed half rings 192, two movable half rings 193, fasteners, and a connecting buffer block 191, the connecting buffer block 191 reversely and fixedly connects the two fixed half rings 192, one end of the movable half ring 193 is rotatably connected with one end of the fixed half ring 192 through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the movable half ring 193 is connected with the other end of the fixed half ring 192 through a fastener, and the fastener adopts a nut 194 here. A vertical guard plate 15 is arranged above the inner side or the outer side edge of the pedal 14 to prevent parts and tools from falling.
[0040] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 、 8 The bottom of the support module 1 is also provided with retractable universal rollers 18, the rollers 18 are sleeved on the bottom of the vertical rod through telescopic rods 182, and the telescopic rods 182 and the vertical rod are also provided with a latch 183 to adjust the position of the rollers 18, and the rollers 18 are also provided with brake switches 181. The maintenance platform is equipped with a solid fence and a kick plate, and a safety net, which effectively prevents tools or materials from falling or workers from falling, and protects the safety of ground workers.
[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 A detachable support rod 4 is also arranged on the vertical rod of the single support module 1, so that the single support module 1 can also be used.
[0042] In order to understand the disclosure of the utility model more thoroughly and comprehensively, the principle will be further explained in combination with the use mode.
[0043] When the stator 2 of the large hydro-generator set needs to be overhauled, the workers will first transport each support module 1 from the storage site to the work site. Due to the modular design, these support modules 1 can be easily transported by vehicles, and after arriving at the site, they can be quickly assembled into a complete annular or specific arc-shaped maintenance platform. The retractable universal rollers 18 arranged at the bottom of each support module 1 enable them to move flexibly in a narrow space until the optimal position is found, and then the rollers 18 are raised by adjusting the latch 183 to make the rollers 18 off the ground, ensuring the stability of the platform.
[0044] Once all the support modules 1 are in place, the next step is to connect the end vertical rods between the modules. Here, a specially designed connector 19 is used, which is composed of a fixed half ring 192, a movable half ring 193, a fastener, and a connecting buffer block 191. This design allows workers to quickly connect the vertical rods together, while ensuring that the connection points are strong enough and that there is some buffering between the support modules 1 to reduce friction. After the connection is completed, the entire maintenance platform forms a closed working environment, and the inner ring is provided with a safety net, providing necessary safety protection for high-altitude work.
[0045] For personnel up and down, the staircase module 3 plays a key role. The staircase module 3, also designed in an arc shape, matches the support module 1, and the vertical rods set on the inside and outside reinforce the staircase 31 structure, while the staircase 31 above the first floor provides multiple passages, making it convenient for traffic between workbenches of different levels. The built-in staircase 31 is more stable and reliable than traditional ladders, reducing the risk of slipping or falling.
[0046] The anti-skid, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant flat-bean pattern steel plate tread 14 laid on the workbench not only improves the safety of walking, but also prolongs the service life of the material.
[0047] In practical applications, this maintenance platform can significantly reduce the time and labor cost required for traditional scaffold erection and dismantling. In addition, the modular design means that the platform can be reused according to different generator models and maintenance needs, further reducing the long-term maintenance cost. The application of high-quality welding technology and durable materials increases the overall service life of the platform, and the use of the platform during regular maintenance can also allow for more detailed inspection and maintenance of the stator 2, which helps to identify potential problems in a timely manner and take preventive measures, thereby extending the service life of the generator set.
[0048] Overall, the design of this large hydro-generator set stator 2 maintenance platform fully embodies the progress of modern industrial technology, not only improving the efficiency and safety of maintenance work, but also having economic cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. This innovative solution is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the hydropower industry.
