[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Before turning the machine, multiple oil supply ends of the oil supply component can be connected to one side of multiple plastic tiles respectively, so that high-pressure oil can be supplied to the upper end of multiple plastic tiles through the expansion copper pipe components inside the multiple plastic tiles, thereby forming an oil film on all plastic tiles, thereby reducing the friction between the mirror plate and the plastic tiles, so that manual turning or other methods can be used instead of using a special turning device to turn the machine, thereby improving the turning efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the oil supply assembly includes a plurality of first hoses, one end of which is provided with a plurality of quick connectors for detachable connection to one side of a plurality of plastic tiles.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: This configuration allows multiple oil supply terminals of the oil supply assembly to be quickly connected to multiple plastic bearings, thereby further improving the turning efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the thrust bearing plastic bearing structure of the hydro-generator set includes a first plug for detachably connecting the first connection hole.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: when supplying high-pressure oil, the first plug can be removed from the first connection hole so that the quick connector can be installed into the first connection hole; when the supply of high-pressure oil is stopped, the first plug can be installed into the first connection hole to block the first connection hole.

[0020] Furthermore, the expansion copper tube assembly includes a horizontal first copper tube and a vertical second copper tube. One end of the first copper tube extends toward a first connecting hole, and the other end of the first copper tube connects to the second copper tube.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This utility model provides a plastic bearing structure for the thrust bearing of a hydro-generator set, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes:

[0038] Several plastic tiles 2 are evenly arranged circumferentially between the base tile 4 and the mirror plate 1. An expansion copper tube assembly 5 is provided inside the plastic tile 2. One end of the expansion copper tube assembly 5 extends to the side of the plastic tile 2, and the other end of the expansion copper tube assembly 5 extends to the upper surface of the plastic tile 2.

[0039] The oil supply assembly 3 is provided with several oil supply ends that are detachably connected to one side of several plastic tiles 2 and respectively connected to one end of several expansion copper pipe assemblies 5.

[0040] Understandably, before turning the machine, multiple oil supply ends of the oil supply component 3 can be connected to one side of multiple plastic tiles 2 respectively, so that high-pressure oil can be supplied to the upper end of multiple plastic tiles 2 through the expansion copper pipe component 5 inside the multiple plastic tiles 2 respectively, thereby forming an oil film on all plastic tiles 2, thereby reducing the friction between the mirror plate 1 and the plastic tiles 2, which can reduce the resistance of the plastic tiles 2 during turning, so that manual turning or other methods can be used instead of using a special turning device, thereby improving the turning efficiency.

[0041] In one embodiment, the oil supply assembly 3 includes a plurality of first hoses 302, and one end of each of the plurality of first hoses 302 is provided with a plurality of quick connectors 301 for threaded connection with one side of a plurality of plastic tiles 2.

[0042] Understandably, this configuration allows for the rapid connection of multiple oil supply terminals of the oil supply assembly 3 to multiple plastic bearings 2, thereby further improving the turning efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, the oil supply assembly 3 includes an oil pump 305, a second hose 304, and an annular pipe 303 located outside all the plastic tiles 2. The two ends of the second hose 304 are respectively connected to the output end of the oil pump 305 and the annular pipe 303, and the ends of all the first hoses 302 away from the plastic tiles 2 are connected to the annular pipe 303.

[0044] Understandably, the oil pump 305 can supply high-pressure oil through the second hose 304 into the annular pipe 303. The high-pressure oil entering the annular pipe 303 is then supplied through multiple first hoses 302 into multiple plastic tiles 2, and finally enters between the plastic tiles 2 and the mirror plate 1 to establish an oil film.

[0045] It should be noted that the first hose 302 is a high-pressure hose, the annular pipe 303 is a temporary annular pipe, and the oil pump 305 is a high-pressure oil pump; in addition, after the turning gear is completed, the first hose 302, the annular pipe 303, the second hose 304 and the oil pump 305 can be removed.

[0046] In one embodiment, a first connection hole 201 for threaded connection of quick connector 301 is provided on one side of the plastic tile 2.

[0047] It should be noted that one end of the first connecting hole 201 may be provided with an internal thread, and correspondingly, one end of the quick connector 301 may be provided with an external thread.

[0048] In one embodiment, a one-way valve 7 is provided at the inner end of the first connection hole 201. The end of the one-way valve 7 away from the first connection hole 201 is the oil outlet and is connected to one end of the expansion copper tube assembly 5 to prevent the high-pressure oil entering the expansion copper tube assembly 5 from flowing back. The one-way valve 7 is a high-pressure one-way valve 7.

[0049] In one embodiment, the thrust bearing plastic bearing structure of the hydro-generator set includes a first plug 6 for threaded connection of the first connection hole 201.

[0050] Understandably, when supplying high-pressure oil, the first plug 6 can be removed from the first connection hole 201 so that the quick connector 301 can be installed into the first connection hole 201; when stopping the supply of high-pressure oil, the first plug 6 can be installed into the first connection hole 201 to block the first connection hole 201.

[0051] In one embodiment, the expansion copper tube assembly 5 includes a horizontal first copper tube 501 and a vertical second copper tube 502. One end of the first copper tube 501 extends toward the first connecting hole 201, and the other end of the first copper tube 501 is connected to the second copper tube 502. The upper end of the second copper tube 502 extends toward the upper surface of the plastic tile 2.

[0052] It is understandable that the high-pressure oil supplied from the first connection hole 201 can be supplied to the upper end face of the plastic tile 2 in sequence through the first copper pipe 501 and the second copper pipe 502, so as to establish an oil film between the plastic tile 2 and the mirror plate 1.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lower part of the plastic tile 2 is provided with a second connection hole 202 for threaded connection of the second plug 8, and the lower end of the second copper tube 502 extends to the second connection hole 202.

[0054] Understandably, the lower end of the second copper tube 502 extends to the second connecting hole 202, meaning the hole for installing the second copper tube 502 also extends to the second connecting hole 202. The hole for installing the second copper tube 502 and the second connecting hole 202 together vertically penetrate the plastic tile 2. This facilitates the processing of the hole for installing the second copper tube 502 and the second connecting hole 202. At the same time, the second connecting hole 202 and the hole for installing the second copper tube 502 also allow for easy observation of the horizontal processing position of the first copper tube 501, thus facilitating the processing of the hole for installing the first copper tube 501. In addition, the fact that the hole for installing the second copper tube 502 and the second connecting hole 202 together vertically penetrate the plastic tile 2 also facilitates the discharge of slag generated during the processing of the holes for installing the first copper tube 501 and the holes for installing the second copper tube 502 from the second connecting hole 202.

[0055] It should be noted that after the second connecting hole 202, the hole body for installing the second copper tube 502, the first connecting hole 201, and the hole body for installing the first copper tube 501 are processed, the second plug 8 can be installed into the second connecting hole 202.

[0056] In one embodiment, the upper end of the expansion copper tube assembly 5 is connected to an oil injection port 9.

[0057] In one embodiment, an oil tank 203 is provided at the upper end of the plastic tile 2, and the oil spraying end of the oil spray nozzle 9 is connected to the oil tank 203.

[0058] In addition, this utility model is designed with an expansion copper tube assembly 5 to prevent high-pressure oil from seeping between the base tile 4 and the plastic tile 2, thereby preventing the plastic tile 2 from bulging.

[0059] In summary, this invention reduces the resistance of the plastic tile 2 during rotation by modifying its internal structure and temporarily injecting oil between the plastic tile 2 and the mirror plate 1 using an oil pump 305 to form an oil film. This facilitates manual rotation and other methods of rotation. In other words, it eliminates the need to apply grease to the tile surface during rotation of the hydro-generator unit, and the rotor's upper shaft does not require a dummy shaft or specific rotation device. This improves rotation efficiency, saves construction time, effectively reduces the labor intensity of operators, and protects their safety.
