Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excitation carbon brush processing technology, and in particular to a sliding tooling for grinding the bottom arc of excitation carbon brushes for steam turbine generator sets. Background Technology
[0002] The excitation carbon brush of a steam turbine generator set is a key conductive component in the generator excitation system. It is typically made of high-purity graphite or composite materials containing metal powder and is installed on the surface of the generator rotor slip ring (or commutator). It maintains dynamic contact with the rotating components through elastic pressure, transmitting external DC excitation current to the rotor windings to form the magnetic field required for power generation. During grinding, the bottom arc of the carbon brush is usually pre-ground manually to form a precise curvature. However, after manual grinding, the direction of the constant pressure spring on the carbon brush is uncertain. Due to the tolerance of the brush holder's inner hole, the bottom arc angle of the carbon brush may deviate laterally. During the break-in process between the carbon brush and the ring surface, the bottom arc of the carbon brush is prone to forming double or multiple grinding surfaces, leading to increased contact resistance between the carbon brush and the ring surface, significantly uneven distribution of the excitation current, and abnormally high temperature areas in some areas of the carbon brush and brush holder. Therefore, tooling is needed to improve the uniformity of grinding.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN222680479U, which discloses an arc grinding device for a large steam turbine generator excitation carbon brush, including a platform and a support. The platform is located on the upper part of the support and has an opening. A motor is located on the lower part of the platform, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to a disc grinding tool, which passes through the opening. A column is located on one side of the upper part of the platform, and a crossbar is connected to the column.
[0004] To address the issues of low installation efficiency and complex operation in the aforementioned technologies, which only allow for the installation of one excitation carbon brush at a time, a sliding fixture for grinding the bottom arc of the excitation carbon brush in steam turbine generator sets is proposed.

[0015] 1. A sliding fixture for grinding the bottom arc of the excitation carbon brush of a steam turbine generator set. Multiple carbon brush bodies are fixed by the limiting frame in the mounting plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the sliding fixture for grinding the bottom arc of the excitation carbon brush of a steam turbine generator set includes a support plate 1 and a grinding frame 7. An abrasive mounting assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 1. An mounting plate 9 is inserted inside the grinding frame 7. Multiple limiting frames 12 are fixedly connected inside the mounting plate 9. A carbon brush body 8 is fixedly connected inside the limiting frames 12. Multiple limiting grooves 13 are opened on one side of the mounting plate 9. An anti-detachment slide table 14 is slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 13. A pressure spring 10 is fixedly connected above the anti-detachment slide table 14. One side of the pressure spring 10 is attached to the top of the carbon brush body 8.
[0031] The abrasive mounting assembly includes a sandpaper mounting table 2, sandpaper 3, and fixing pins 4. The sandpaper mounting table 2 is fixedly connected to the support plate 1. The top of the sandpaper mounting table 2 is an arc with an outer diameter of R189.5mm. The sandpaper 3 is attached to the top of the sandpaper mounting table 2. Multiple fixing pins 4 are fixedly connected to the sandpaper mounting table 2 and the sandpaper 3.
[0032] When in use, the carbon brush body 8 can be inserted into the limiting frame 12 in the mounting plate 9 first, and then the mounting plate 9 together with multiple carbon brush bodies 8 can be inserted into the grinding frame 7. Since the carbon brush body 8 is inserted and installed from the bottom of the mounting plate 9, the pressure spring 10 will be squeezed and moved upward during this process. When the pressure spring 10 moves to the top, the pressure spring 10 will exert downward pressure on the carbon brush body 8.
[0033] At this time, the bottom of the carbon brush body 8 will contact the sandpaper 3 and be sanded as the sanding frame 7 moves back and forth. The pressure of the full-load constant pressure spring 10 will make the carbon brush body 8 stick tightly to the sandpaper 3, so as to achieve precise bottom arc running-in of multiple carbon brush bodies 8 at the same time.
[0034] In this embodiment, a ball bearing sleeve 19 is slidably connected above the slide rod 6, and a spring 20 is fixedly connected between one side of the ball bearing sleeve 19 and the side support column 5. Sliding brackets 16 are fixedly connected on both sides of the grinding frame 7, and a wear-resistant collar 21 is fixedly connected inside the sliding bracket 16. The inner side of the wear-resistant collar 21 is slidably connected to one side of the ball bearing sleeve 19.
[0035] The ball bearing sleeve 19 provides a stable sliding platform for the back-and-forth linear movement of the grinding frame 7 in the middle, reducing friction and making the movement smoother. The spring 20 can help the ball bearing sleeve 19 return to its original position, allowing the ball bearing sleeve 19 to stably support the grinding frame 7. The wear-resistant ring 21 is made of high-hardness material, which can reduce wear.
[0036] In this embodiment, a positioning ramp 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 9, a handle 11 is fixedly connected above the positioning ramp 15, a positioning groove 17 is opened on one side of the sliding bracket 16, and a positioning bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the ball sleeve 19.
[0037] The mounting plate 9 can be quickly positioned by inserting it into the positioning slot 17 through the positioning ramp 15, and the horizontal handle 11 can be easily pushed and pulled back and forth by the operator for polishing.
[0038] The positioning bolt 18 facilitates pressing and fixing the mounting plate 9 from below, preventing shaking from affecting the grinding effect.
[0039] In this embodiment: When in use, the carbon brush body 8 can be inserted into the limiting frame 12 in the mounting plate 9 first, and then the mounting plate 9 together with multiple carbon brush bodies 8 can be inserted into the grinding frame 7. Since the carbon brush body 8 is inserted and installed from the bottom of the mounting plate 9, the pressure spring 10 will be squeezed and moved upward during this process. When the pressure spring 10 moves to the top, the pressure spring 10 will exert downward pressure on the carbon brush body 8.
[0040] At this time, the bottom of the carbon brush body 8 will contact the sandpaper 3 and be sanded as the sanding frame 7 moves back and forth. The pressure of the full negative constant pressure spring 10 will make the carbon brush body 8 stick tightly to the sandpaper 3, so as to achieve precise bottom arc running of multiple carbon brush bodies 8 at the same time.
[0041] The ball bearing sleeve 19 provides a stable sliding platform for the back-to-back linear movement of the grinding frame 7 in the middle, reducing friction and making the movement smoother. The spring 20 can help the ball bearing sleeve 19 return to its original position, allowing the ball bearing sleeve 19 to stably support the grinding frame 7. The wear-resistant ring 21 is made of high-hardness material, which can reduce wear.
[0042] The mounting plate 9 can be quickly positioned by inserting it into the positioning slot 17 through the positioning ramp 15, and the horizontal handle 11 can be easily pushed and pulled back and forth by the operator for polishing.
[0043] The positioning bolt 18 facilitates pressing and fixing the mounting plate 9 from below, preventing shaking from affecting the grinding effect.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] The sliding fixture for grinding the bottom arc of the excitation carbon brush of a steam turbine generator set is an improvement upon Embodiment 1, as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown,
[0046] In this embodiment, a suction port bracket 22 is fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 1, and a limiting collar 23 is rotatably connected above the suction port bracket 22; a suction port 25 is clamped inside the suction port bracket 22 and the limiting collar 23, and a positioning buckle 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting collar 23, with the lower end of the positioning buckle 24 inserted into a groove on one side of the suction port bracket 22.
[0047] The dust suction port bracket 22 is fixed by rotating the upper limiting collar 23. The other end of the dust suction port 25 can be connected to an external dust suction component, so that the carbon powder generated during polishing can be sucked up, making the working environment cleaner and preventing dust from spreading.
