Large and medium-sized hydropower units are generally vertically arranged, with the generator positioned above the turbine. This design minimizes moisture damage, ensures better stress distribution on the main shaft and bearings, facilitates turbine assembly, disassembly, and maintenance, and allows for easier civil engineering layout. Large and medium-sized vertical hydropower generators typically have large stators and are quite tall. When overhauling the stator, the rotor is first lifted out, and a maintenance platform is installed in the pit, allowing maintenance personnel easy access to the stator bore for repairs.

[0003] A search revealed a vertical hydro-generator stator maintenance platform, as disclosed in announcement number CN212752074U. Its main features include: a bottom large platform, a combined frame, an intermediate ring platform, a top ring platform, stairs, and guardrails. During stator maintenance, the stator maintenance platform is constructed at the generator installation site and, after passing inspection, is hoisted into the generator pit as a whole. Construction begins with assembling the circular frame of the bottom large platform, the bottom anti-slip base plate, and the kickboard; installing the combined frame; laying the base plates, kickboards, and guardrails of the intermediate and top ring platforms; stairs are provided between adjacent platforms, with foldable covers at the stair entrances and exits, which remain closed when no personnel are using them. Similarly, under normal conditions, the foldable cover in the center of the bottom anti-slip base plate is closed, and the bottom large platform isolates the turbine room from the generator wind tunnel.

[0004] In actual use, the applicant found that the above-described hydro-generator electronic maintenance platform requires personnel to climb ladders back and forth to maintain stators at different heights, which is labor-intensive. Furthermore, the stators located on the circular platform are obstructed by the platform, making it inconvenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on this part. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a vertical hydro-generator stator maintenance platform is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the frame includes a base plate, on which a vertical arc-shaped support plate is fixedly installed, and a top plate is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical arc-shaped support plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a sliding groove is constructed on the vertical arc-shaped support plate, and multiple T-shaped guide wheel frames are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lifting ring. Two rotatable guide wheels are installed on the T-shaped guide wheel frames, and the guide wheels can be positioned and rolled within the sliding groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a circular hole is provided at the center of the top plate, and the main steel cable passes through the circular hole.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the top plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of lifting lugs.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the winch assembly includes two bearing seats and a motor. The bearing seats and the motor are both fixedly mounted on the top plate. A winch is rotatably connected to the bearing seats via bearings. The main steel cable is wound around the winch. The motor is connected to the winch via an output shaft.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a ladder is provided at the top frame and the opening of the stator foundation pit.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a ladder is fixedly installed on the top plate.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the start of the winch assembly winds up or releases the main steel cable.
