[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] This utility model provides a device for measuring the air gap between the stator and rotor of a hydro-generator set, as described below. Figures 1 to 3 To elaborate in detail.

[0025] A device for measuring the air gap between the stator and rotor of a hydro-generator set includes a first measuring block 1 and a second measuring block 2. A relative sliding inclined surface is provided between the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2. Both the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 have abutment surfaces 9 arranged parallel to each other on the side away from the relative sliding inclined surface for abutting the measured component. A first measuring rod 3 and a second measuring rod 4 are provided along one end of the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 parallel to the abutment surface 9. The first measuring rod 3 and the second measuring rod 4 are arranged parallel to each other. A fixing rod 5 is provided on the first measuring rod 3. A dial indicator 6 is provided on the fixing rod 5. A blocking member 7 is provided on the second measuring rod 4 for the detection end of the dial indicator 6 to abut.

[0026] This invention features a first measuring block 1 and a second measuring block 2 that can slide relative to each other along a relative sliding inclined plane. A dial indicator 6 is used to detect the first relative movement distance between the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 along the length direction of the second measuring rod 4. The tangent value of the inclined plane angle can be obtained. By calculating the tangent value of the inclined plane angle and the movement distance, the second relative movement distance of the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 along the direction perpendicular to the second measuring rod 4 can be obtained. The measured distance is equal to the second relative movement distance plus the sum of the widths of the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 have the same shape, and both the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 are set as right-angled trapezoids, and the long base surface of the first measuring block 1 and the short base surface of the second measuring block 2 are arranged in the same direction.

[0028] Let the length of the short base of each measuring block be *a*, the length of the long base be *b*, the length of the contact surface 9 be *c*, the distance between the stator and rotor being measured be *d*, the relative sliding slope angle be *α*, the first relative movement distance between the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 along the length of the second measuring rod 4 be *h*, the second relative movement distance between the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 along the direction perpendicular to the second measuring rod 4 be *x*, and the distance between the stator and rotor being measured be *d*. Then the following relationship holds:

[0029] ;

[0030] ;

[0031] ;

[0032] Then it can be deduced that .

[0033] In some embodiments, the length of the long base face of the first measuring block 1 is twice the length of the short base face. Setting the lengths of the long and short base faces as multiples facilitates the calculation process.

[0034] In some embodiments, to ensure the measurement accuracy of the dial indicator 6 during the testing process, it is necessary to ensure that the first measuring rod 3 is perpendicular to the end face of the first measuring block 1, the second measuring rod 4 is perpendicular to the end face of the second measuring block 2, and the first measuring rod 3 and the second measuring rod 4 are arranged in parallel. Furthermore, the measuring end of the dial indicator 6 is arranged parallel to either the first measuring rod 3 or the second measuring rod 4, and the blocking member 7 is arranged perpendicular to the measuring end of the dial indicator 6. This ensures that a certain distance is generated between the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2. Figure 2 When the height difference is shown in the direction indicated, dial indicator 6 can accurately measure the height difference.

[0035] In some embodiments, to facilitate the movement of the dial indicator 6 following the second measuring block 2, the measuring end of the dial indicator 6 is positioned towards the end opposite to the second measuring block 2, and the blocking member 7 is positioned at the end of the dial indicator 6 away from the second measuring block 2. When the second measuring block 2 moves, the dial indicator 6 moves with the second moving block, and the blocking member 7 does not obstruct the movement direction of the dial indicator 6, further ensuring the feasibility of the measurement.

[0036] In some embodiments, a through groove 41 is provided on the rod body of the second measuring rod 4 located below the blocking member 7. The through groove 41 allows the fixing rod 5 to pass through, and the fixing rod 5 is fixedly connected to the dial indicator 6 at one end passing through the second measuring rod 4. The through groove 41 allows the first measuring rod 3 and the second measuring rod 4 to be on the same plane, thereby further ensuring that the blocking member 7, the dial indicator 6, the first measuring rod 3, and the second measuring rod 4 are all on the same plane. The through groove 41 also limits the degree of freedom of the fixing rod 5, further ensuring the detection accuracy of the dial indicator 6 during movement.

[0037] In some embodiments, the stop 7 is configured as a rod, and the stop 7 is arranged perpendicularly to the second measuring rod 4. The rod configuration can reduce manufacturing costs, and the width of the side surface of the rod that contacts the dial indicator 6 is at least sufficient to meet the width of the measuring tip of the dial indicator 6.

[0038] In some embodiments, a slide rail 11 and a slider 12 are provided between the relative sliding inclined surfaces of the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2, and the slide rail 11 and the slider 12 are slidably connected. The arrangement of the slide rail 11 and the slider 12 can restrict the degrees of freedom of the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2, ensuring that when the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 are placed between the stator and the rotor, the first measuring block 1 and the second measuring block 2 can only move relative to each other along the direction of the slide rail 11 and the slide groove.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of the measured distance, the contact surface 9 is adapted to the contour of the measured object between the measured object and the rotor with different contours.
