Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of hydropower generation technology, and more specifically, to a generator carbon powder collection device. Background Technology
[0002] The carbon dust generated by the friction between the carbon brushes and slip rings of traditional generators is mostly collected by natural scattering or passive collection via guide channels, which has the following drawbacks: (1) Carbon dust is easily diffused by the airflow during rotor rotation, causing internal pollution and short circuit hazards; (2) Existing collection devices are separated from the heat dissipation system, and carbon dust accumulation obstructs the airflow in the heat dissipation duct, exacerbating the temperature rise; (3) The baffle structure is simple, and carbon dust is seriously re-spread. For example, using inclined guide plates to collect carbon dust, but without combining with a forced air cooling system, carbon dust is trapped in the air duct; although multi-stage filters are set, they increase wind resistance and are difficult to clean. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of generator carbon dust collection device. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a generator toner collection device, including a slip ring, a brush holder, and a toner collection box. The brush holder has carbon brushes that abut against the slip ring. A heat dissipation duct is provided inside the brush holder, with its starting end located directly below the contact point between the slip ring and the carbon brushes. A fan is provided at the outlet of the heat dissipation duct. Multiple baffles are provided inside the heat dissipation duct to prevent toner from falling. The toner collection box is located inside the heat dissipation duct to collect the toner blocked by the baffles.
[0004] In some embodiments, the baffle includes a guide section with a parabolic surface on the windward side.
[0005] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R of the guide section satisfies R = 0.2-0.4 times the duct height.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a generator toner collection device 100 for collecting toner. The collection device 100 includes a collector ring 10, a brush holder 20, and a toner collection box 30. The brush holder 20 is provided with carbon brushes 21 that abut against the collector ring 10. A heat dissipation duct 40 is provided inside the brush holder 20. The starting end of the heat dissipation duct 40 is located directly below the contact point between the collector ring 10 and the carbon brushes 21. A fan 41 is provided at the outlet of the heat dissipation duct 40. Multiple baffles 42 are provided inside the duct to prevent toner from falling. The toner collection box 30 is located inside the heat dissipation duct 40 to receive the toner blocked by the baffles 42.
[0023] The collection device 100 of this application can quickly dissipate the heat generated by friction by placing the starting end of the heat dissipation air duct 40 directly below the contact point of the carbon brush 21, thus avoiding local overheating. The fan 41 and the baffle 42 are combined to form a directional airflow, which can both dissipate heat and guide the toner into the carbon collection box 30. The integrated carbon collection box 30 and the air duct are designed as a single unit, which avoids secondary toner flying and contaminating the inside of the equipment, and achieves efficient toner recovery. The integrated heat dissipation and collection functions simplify the structure and reduce the maintenance frequency.
[0024] Specifically, the heat dissipation duct 40 has an L-shaped structure, including a vertical section 43 and a horizontal section 44, with a baffle 42 located within the horizontal section 44. Carbon dust formed after the carbon brush 21 brushes against the slip ring 10 falls into the vertical section, and the baffle 42 concentrates it in the horizontal section 44, preventing dust accumulation in the vertical section 43 from clogging the duct. The fan 41 is a centrifugal fan, and its speed is adjusted in conjunction with the generator load to optimize energy consumption and collection efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, multiple vertically arranged baffles 42 are distributed along the length of the heat dissipation duct 40, forming a continuously zigzagging "S"-shaped airflow channel. The S-shaped channel extends the airflow path, increases the probability of collision between the toner and the baffles 42, and the multi-stage zigzag formation promotes the toner's escape from the airflow due to inertia. In one example, to facilitate toner collection, the upper end of the vertical section 43 is designed as a flared funnel.
[0026] Specifically, the baffle 42 includes a first panel 421 and a second panel 422. The sides of the first panel 421 and the second panel 422 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the heat dissipation duct 40, respectively. The top of the first panel 421 is fixed to the inner wall of the heat dissipation duct 40, while its bottom is suspended. The top and bottom of the second panel 422 are both suspended. The first panel 421 and the second panel 422 are continuously and alternately arranged to form a continuously folding "S"-shaped airflow channel. The staggered layout of the double panels achieves gradual deceleration of the airflow, improving the primary filtration effect of large carbon particles.
[0027] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The baffle 42 includes a guide section 423 with a parabolic curved surface on the windward side. The radius of curvature R of the guide section 423 satisfies R = 0.2-0.4 times the duct height. The parabolic curved surface guide section 423 can reduce airflow separation, lower wind resistance, and improve wind speed stability. At the same time, the curved surface design causes the toner to bounce tangentially after collision, avoiding secondary re-entrainment and improving the collection rate. The curvature parameter (R = 0.2-0.4 times the duct height) verified by fluid simulation balances the toner settling efficiency and wind pressure loss, ensuring smooth airflow direction and reducing turbulent toner escape.
[0028] The carbon collection box 30 is located within the horizontal section 44 of the heat dissipation duct 40. Multiple partitions 31 divide the carbon collection box 30 into multiple zones. The partitions 31 are located directly below the second panel 422. The partitions 31 correspond to the second panel 422, thus stabilizing the airflow distribution within the heat dissipation duct 40.
[0029] A negative ion emitter 45 is installed inside the heat dissipation duct 40, and a magnet 32 is installed at the bottom of the carbon collection box 30, with the N pole of the magnet 32 facing upwards. The negative ion emitter 45 charges the toner, and the magnet 32 causes the toner to adhere to the bottom of the carbon collection box 30, preventing dust from being stirred up. At the same time, the magnet 32 also fixes the carbon collection box 30 inside the brush holder 20. The negative ion emitter 45 causes the surface of the toner to carry a negative charge, which generates an electric field-magnetic field coupling effect with the N-pole-facing magnet 32. The negatively charged toner moves towards the bottom of the carbon collection box 30 under the action of the Lorentz force of the magnetic field, significantly enhancing the adsorption efficiency of fine toner particles.
[0030] Please see Figure 3The brush holder 20 has a slot 22 inside, and the upper end of the outer plate of the carbon collection box 30 extends into the slot 22 so that the carbon collection box 30 is snapped onto the brush holder 20. The slot 22 design enables quick-release installation of the carbon collection box 30, which can be replaced without tools. The upper end of the outer plate is embedded in the slot 22 to form a sealing surface to prevent carbon powder from leaking from the joint.
