Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of high-speed motors, and in particular to an electric braking mechanism using a high-speed motor. Background Technology
[0002] Cold-pressurized expanders often experience speed and efficiency mismatches due to significant parameter differences between initial start-up conditions and designed operating conditions. This not only prolongs start-up time but can also lead to overspeeding and equipment damage. Current solutions involve adding a hydraulic brake. This utilizes a series of labyrinth structures installed in the shaft system, through which pressurized and controlled-flow lubricating oil is introduced. As the shaft rotates at high speed, the lubricating oil flows rapidly within a relatively small space. Its viscosity and relative speed create friction, generating resistance and achieving a braking effect. This effectively limits the speed.
[0003] However, this method requires not only a well-designed labyrinth seal based on the design parameters of the cold-pressurized expander, but also a sophisticated oil system to control the flow and pressure of the lubricating oil according to actual operational needs. Improper control can easily lead to excessively high speeds or sudden deceleration. Furthermore, hydraulic braking also causes the lubricating oil temperature to rise. Under high-demand hydraulic braking, an additional oil cooler is needed, causing unnecessary losses and increasing equipment costs. Moreover, these losses are converted into heat, which cannot be effectively recovered and reused, requiring additional equipment to cool this heat, meaning that in addition to the initial losses, extra costs are incurred to handle them. Therefore, the requirements for lubricating oil are very high. Daily maintenance and operation of the product have strict requirements for oil pressure, oil supply, and oil temperature, especially oil pressure. The oil pressure needs to be constantly controlled to determine the required braking force, making daily use and maintenance very troublesome, further increasing operating costs, and also raising manufacturing costs.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a high-speed electric motor braking mechanism. Utility Model Content

In order to achieve appropriate speed control and effectively recover these losses, this solution employs a high-speed motor electric braking system to control the speed and convert braking force into electrical output to recover this energy. Furthermore, because the speed is controllable, a better match between speed and efficiency can be achieved, while also shortening the start-up and debugging time, thus achieving multiple benefits.

The back axis of the expansion end impeller is meshed with the generator expansion end shaft body through the toothed surface.

The two ends of the generator 1 are respectively connected and installed together with the expansion end flange connecting plate 4 and the compression end flange connecting plate 13, thereby realizing the connection between the generator 1 and the expansion end volute 2 and the compression end volute 3.

[0046] In practice, this solution replaces the traditional hydraulic brake structure with a high-speed motor. A high-speed motor is integrated into the intermediate shaft system, and the operating speed is limited by the frequency of the inverter cabinet. When the power source is insufficient, the high-speed motor functions as a generator, providing additional power to keep the speed running at a higher efficiency. Conversely, when there is an excess of power, the high-speed motor acts as a generator, not only controlling the speed but also recovering the extra power for electricity generation. This allows the equipment to reach the required operating conditions in a shorter time without causing additional mechanical damage and preventing damage caused by overspeeding.

However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
