[0002] The internal circulating oil cooling system for the bearings of hydro-generator sets is a key component ensuring stable operation of the unit, primarily used for bearing heat dissipation and lubrication. It utilizes a closed-loop oil circuit system, with an oil pump driving the lubricating oil to circulate between the bearing cavity and the cooler. After absorbing the heat generated by bearing friction, the lubricating oil is cooled by the cooler and then returns to the bearing cavity, forming a continuous heat dissipation cycle.

[0003] Existing cooling devices require the lubricating oil to be filtered through a filter plate before entering the bearing cavity. However, the filter plate needs to be cleaned during long-term use, which conflicts with the unit's operating requirements. Frequent shutdowns affect power generation efficiency, manual cleaning poses safety hazards, and the filter screen reset accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, this utility model proposes a circulating oil cooling device for the bearing of a hydro-generator unit. Utility Model Content

[0013] This utility model provides a circulating oil cooling device for the bearings of a hydro-generator set. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0014] This design incorporates an internal circulating oil cooling device for the bearings of a hydro-generator unit. By installing impurity removal mechanisms on both sides of the filter box, when impurities on the outer side of the filter plates need to be removed, the control panel closes solenoid valves one and two, and opens solenoid valves three and four. This activates the impurity removal pump, which pumps fresh oil from the new oil tank into the return oil pipe through the supply pipe and solenoid valve three, performing reverse cleaning of the filter plates. Next, the cylinder is activated, driving a cleaning brush via a connecting seat to sweep the outer side of the filter plates, causing impurities to fall off and be flushed into the return oil pipe.

This design eliminates the need for frequent shutdowns, does not affect power generation efficiency, requires no manual cleaning, poses no safety hazards, and significantly improves the impurity removal efficiency of the filter plates.

[0024] The impurity removal mechanism 11 includes a solenoid valve 111, a solenoid valve 112, a new oil tank 113, and an impurity removal pump 114. The outer side of the impurity removal pump 114 is connected to an oil supply pipe 115 and an oil outlet pipe 116. A solenoid valve 3 117 is installed in the middle of the oil outlet pipe 116. One end of the return oil pipe 7 is connected to an impurity removal pipe 118. A solenoid valve 4 1110 is installed in the middle of the impurity removal pipe 118. The other end of the impurity removal pipe 118 is connected to a recovery box 119. A cylinder 1111 is installed on the outer side of the filter box 9. A connecting seat 1112 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 1111. A cleaning brush 1113 and a limiting block 1114 are installed on the outer side of the connecting seat 1112. A limiting groove 1115 is opened inside the filter box 9.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the base 1 is fixedly connected to the oil storage tank 2, the oil hopper 3 is connected to the oil storage tank 2, the oil pump 4 is connected to the oil extraction pipe 5 and the oil guide pipe 8, and the refrigeration box 6 is connected to the oil extraction pipe 5, which facilitates the extraction and cooling of the oil with heat inside the oil storage tank 2.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the return oil pipe 7 is connected to the oil storage tank 2. The return oil pipe 7 and the guide oil pipe 8 are connected to the output end and input end of the bearing cavity, respectively. The return oil pipe 7 is connected to the filter box 9. The control panel 12 is equipped with control buttons and a display screen on the outside. The control panel 12 is equipped with a control circuit board and a battery inside, which facilitates the connection of the cooled lubricating oil to the bearing cavity to form a lubricating oil circulation operation.

[0027] like Figure 3-6 As shown, solenoid valve 111 and solenoid valve 212 are located on both sides of the filter box 9 and are both connected to the return oil pipe 7. The new oil tank 113 is connected to the impurity removal pump 114 through the oil supply pipe 115. The impurity removal pump 114 is connected to the return oil pipe 7 through the oil outlet pipe 116. Solenoid valve 317 is electrically connected to the control panel 12.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During the use of the cooling device, the return oil pipe 7 and the guide oil pipe 8 are connected to the bearing cavity. The oil inside the oil storage tank 2 is drawn in through the oil pump 4 and the oil extraction pipe 5. Then, it is cooled by the cooling box 6 and flows into the bearing cavity. Then, the circulating oil with heat is returned to the inside of the oil storage tank 2 through the return oil pipe 7. During this process, impurities are filtered by the filter plate 10 inside the filter box 9, thereby performing a circulation operation.

[0030] It should be noted that, through the impurity removal mechanism 11, when impurities on the outside of the filter plate 10 need to be removed, the control panel 12 controls the solenoid valves 111 and 112 to close, thus blocking the return oil pipe 7 and the filter box 9 from the oil storage tank 2 and the bearing cavity. Then, the control panel 12 controls the solenoid valves 117 and 1110 to open, and simultaneously starts the impurity removal pump 114, which flushes the new oil from the new oil tank 113 into the return oil pipe 7 through the oil supply pipe 115 and the solenoid valve 117. The oil then passes through the filter box 9 and cleans the filter plate 10. Reverse cleaning is performed, and then cylinder 1111 is started, so that the output end of cylinder 1111 drives the connecting seat 1112 and cleaning brush 1113 to clean the outside of filter plate 10, so that the impurities are dislodged and flushed into the inside of return oil pipe 7, and then enter the inside of recovery box 119 through impurity removal pipe 118. After removing impurities, solenoid valve 4 1110 and solenoid valve 3 117 are closed, and solenoid valve 1 111 and solenoid valve 2 112 are opened to connect return oil pipe 7 with base 1 and bearing cavity, which facilitates the subsequent cooling operation of circulating oil.
