Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydropower engineering installation equipment design technology, specifically a rotor magnetic yoke hot-pressing center cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the important components of a generator, the generator rotor's main function is to generate a magnetic field and produce electrical energy by rotating and cutting magnetic lines of force. The rotor typically consists of a central body, a yoke section, and magnetic poles. After assembly in the installation room, the entire rotor is hoisted into the generator pit.

[0003] During rotor assembly in the installation room, after all the yokes are installed, the yokes and the central body ribs need to be keyed by heating to ensure an interference fit between the yoke section and the central body. Ensuring that the central body is not affected by thermal expansion during the hot keying process is crucial.

[0004] Currently, the industry lacks a comprehensive cooling system for hot-bonding the yoke section and the center body. Some power plants use a method of wrapping cotton cloth around the vertical ribs and spraying water on the cloth for cooling. While some power plants employ cooling devices, the contact area between the cooling pipes and the vertical ribs is small, and the use of flexible hoses results in an unstable cooling water source and poor on-site construction practices. Neither of these methods effectively reduces the temperature of the center body's vertical ribs, causing them to expand during heating and thus failing to guarantee the required keying gap. Furthermore, the haphazard arrangement does not meet the increasingly stringent requirements for civilized construction. Therefore, this utility model proposes a cooling device for the center body of the rotor yoke during hot-bonding. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model discloses a rotor magnetic yoke hot-bonding center cooling device. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a reliable, safe, clean, and efficient rotor magnetic yoke hot-bonding center cooling device.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0007] A rotor yoke hot-forging keying center body cooling device, wherein the center body includes several rotor ribs vertically arranged on the periphery of the center body, characterized in that: the cooling device includes a cooling riser, a cooling water supply pipe, a cooling drain pipe, a fixing device, and a cooling water pump; the cooling riser is arranged on both sides of each rotor rib through the fixing device, the upper end of the riser is connected to the cooling drain pipe, the lower end of the riser is connected to the cooling water supply pipe, and the cooling water supply pipe is connected to the cooling water pump to supply cooling water to the entire cooling system.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling riser is a hollow hot water pipe with a rectangular cross-section and a flat contact surface with the rotor rib. It consists of left and right cooling risers, which are arranged on both sides of the rotor rib, with two cooling risers on each side. The upper and lower ends of the two cooling risers arranged opposite each other on both sides of the rotor rib are connected by a tensioner, and the two cooling risers are pressed and fixed to the surface of the rotor rib. The lower end of the cooling riser has a union joint that connects to the cooling water supply pipe, and the upper end of the cooling riser has a union joint that connects to the cooling drain pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling water supply pipes are arranged below the central body, with a main water inlet and branch water supply pipes corresponding to the rotor vertical ribs. The main water inlet is equipped with a water inlet control valve and connected to the cooling water pump. Each pair of branch water supply pipes has four interfaces for connecting to the four cooling vertical pipes for water supply. The branch water supply pipes are connected to the cooling vertical pipes via flexible hoses.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooling drain pipes are arranged above the central body, with a main drain pipe and branch drain pipes corresponding to the rotor risers. The main drain pipe is equipped with a drain control valve and an exhaust valve. Each pair of branch drain pipes has four interfaces for connecting to the four cooling risers for drainage. The branch drain pipes are connected to the cooling risers via flexible hoses.

[0011] The inlet control valve and water supply pump provide a reliable cooling water source for the entire cooling system. The outlet control valve adjusts the drainage flow rate, and the vent valve is used to expel gases from inside the cooling system, ensuring cooling efficiency.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention features two sets of cooling risers on either side of each rotor rib in the central body, secured by tensioners for reliable and convenient operation. The cooling risers are planar rectangular hollow hot water pipes, significantly increasing the cooling contact area and effectively reducing the temperature transferred to the ribs. Exhaust valves on the cooling drain pipes promptly expel generated hot steam, further enhancing cooling efficiency. Independent cooling pump sets and control valves adjust the cooling water flow according to temperature, ensuring a reliable cooling water supply. The upper and lower cooling pipes are arranged in a compact and neat manner, resulting in a clean and orderly construction site. These cooling measures effectively prevent heat transfer to the rotor ribs during keying of the rotor yoke, ensuring only the yoke section expands, achieving the required keying gap in one pass, improving work efficiency, guaranteeing keying quality, and enhancing the site appearance.

After the check is correct, the heating device is arranged.
