Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaft-driven generator technology, specifically a non-slipping marine shaft-driven generator expansion sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] In the current technology, the application of marine shaft generators has become increasingly common. Therefore, the stable operation of marine shaft generators, as key power supply equipment, is of utmost importance during the operation of ships.
[0003] Traditional marine shaft-driven generator expansion sleeves have many drawbacks: On the one hand, ships are subject to complex factors such as wave impact, continuous hull vibration, and significant temperature and humidity changes during navigation, making traditional expansion sleeves prone to slippage. This not only reduces power generation efficiency but may also damage generator components, seriously threatening the stability of the ship's power system. On the other hand, traditional expansion sleeves are mostly integral structures, requiring a large operating space and complex processes for installation and disassembly. This makes operation extremely difficult within the limited space of a ship, increasing maintenance and time costs.
[0004] Furthermore, in the harsh environment of high salinity in the ocean, traditional expansion sleeves are not corrosion resistant enough and are prone to rusting, which further weakens the connection performance and service life. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-slip marine shaft-driven generator expansion sleeve to solve the slippage problem of traditional expansion sleeves mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a non-slip marine shaft-driven generator expansion sleeve, comprising a ship's main shaft, on which a shaft-driven generator rotor is fixedly mounted, and at both ends of the shaft-driven generator rotor, expansion sleeves are respectively provided on the ship's main shaft; on the outer wall of the ship's main shaft, at the installation positions of the two expansion sleeves, two sets of mirror-symmetrical expansion sleeve fixing grooves are provided; the expansion sleeve includes an inner locking sleeve installed close to the ship's main shaft, an outer left collar and an outer right collar are provided on the outer side of the inner locking sleeve, and a left expansion wedge ring is provided between the inner locking sleeve and the outer left collar, and a right expansion wedge ring is provided between the inner locking sleeve and the outer right collar.
[0007] Preferably, each set of expansion sleeve fixing grooves includes two or more wedge-shaped grooves evenly distributed in a ring, and the end of each wedge-shaped groove away from the other set of expansion sleeve fixing grooves is a concave wedge-shaped apex.
[0008] Preferably, the inner locking sleeve includes two semi-circular locking rings that can form a complete circular ring.

An inner locking plate is fitted into these grooves. The inner locking plate includes a groove slider that can engage with the groove. An expansion fixing plate extending to the left and right sides is fixedly connected to the groove slider near the axial side of the inner locking sleeve. Multiple expansion bolt holes are evenly distributed on the two locking rings.
[0009] Preferably, the inner locking plate is provided corresponding to the wedge-shaped groove, and the size of the inner locking plate is smaller than that of the wedge-shaped groove.
[0010] Preferably, the outer left collar includes the left half of two semi-circular collars, and the contact ends of the two left half collars are connected as one piece by groove engagement, and bolts are used to reinforce the connection at the connection point; the outer surface of the outer left collar is a circular surface, and the inner surface is gradually thickened from left to right towards the axis.

[0013] Preferably, the structure of the right tightening wedge ring is the same as that of the left tightening wedge ring and is mirrored, including two semi-circular right tightening half-rings, and each right tightening half-ring has multiple threaded through holes coaxial with the tightening bolt holes. The inner and outer sides of the right tightening half-ring are arranged to gradually move towards the opposite side from right to left, so that the cross-section of the right tightening half-ring is wedge-shaped.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The expansion sleeve provided by this utility model adopts a split structure, which is simple to install and easy to maintain.

It effectively avoids loosening and slippage caused by vibration, impact and other factors during the operation of the ship, and ensures that the shaft-driven generator can operate stably and reliably under various complex working conditions.
[0016] 2. The modular design of the expansion sleeve means that if a component of the expansion sleeve is damaged, the entire sleeve does not need to be replaced; only the damaged component needs to be replaced. This greatly reduces maintenance costs and time, and improves the operational efficiency of the vessel.
[0017] 3. The expansion adjustment of this utility model is flexible and can adapt to different working conditions. By adjusting the expansion bolt, the expansion tightness of the expansion sleeve can be easily adjusted to meet the requirements of the shaft-driven generator under different navigation states and load conditions of the ship, ensuring that the shaft-driven generator is always in the best working state, improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing the operating cost of the ship.

[0036] The inner locking sleeve 31 includes two semi-circular locking rings 311, which can form a complete ring. At their contacting ends, grooves 312 are respectively provided for mutual engagement. The two grooves 312 are connected as a single unit through the groove engagement. Connecting bolts 313 are also provided through the two grooves 312 to enhance the connection strength of the locking rings 311. Each locking ring 311 has a recessed groove 314 on its left and right sides near the inner ring surface. An inner locking plate 315 is fitted through these grooves 314. The inner locking plate 315 includes a groove slider 316 that can engage with the groove 314. Expansion fixing plates 317 extending to the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the groove slider 316 near the axial side of the inner locking sleeve 311.

[0040] The left tightening wedge ring 34 includes two semi-circular left tightening half-rings 341, and each left tightening half-ring 341 has multiple through holes 342 coaxial with the tightening bolt holes 318. The inner and outer sides of the left tightening half-ring 341 are arranged from left to right towards the opposite side, so that the cross-section of the left tightening half-ring 341 is wedge-shaped.
[0041] The structure of the right expansion wedge ring 35 is the same as that of the left expansion wedge ring 34 and is mirrored. It includes two semi-circular right expansion half-rings 351, and each right expansion half-ring 351 has multiple threaded through holes 352 coaxial with the expansion bolt holes 318. The inner and outer sides of the right expansion half-ring 351 are arranged from right to left towards the opposite side, so that the cross-section of the right expansion half-ring 351 is wedge-shaped.
[0042] In use, the inner locking plate 315 is fitted onto the inner side of the locking collar 311. Then, the two halves of the locking collar 311 are fitted onto the ship's main shaft 1 and connected together by the connecting bolts 313. The collar is then moved to the expansion sleeve fixing groove 11. Next, the outer left collar 32 and outer right collar 33 are fitted onto the outer side of the ship's main shaft 1 and connected together by bolts. Finally, the left expansion wedge ring 34 and right expansion wedge ring 35 are inserted into the inner... The locking sleeve 31 is connected to the outer left collar 32 and the outer right collar 33. A long bolt is used to pass through the through hole 342 and the expansion bolt hole 318 in sequence and is threaded to the threaded through hole 352. As the long bolt is continuously tightened to the threaded through hole 352, the left expansion wedge ring 34 and the right expansion wedge ring 35 gradually move closer to the middle. As they move closer, the inner locking plate 315 is gradually pressed into the wedge-shaped groove 12, thus completing the expansion and fixing of the entire expansion sleeve.
