Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator technology, specifically to a generator rotor temperature measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, and it is widely used in various industrial and civilian fields. It generates current by using the principle of electromagnetic induction to drive a coil in a magnetic field through rotating mechanical power. This device plays a crucial role in modern power systems, providing stable power support not only for critical facilities such as factories, hospitals, and data centers, but also playing an irreplaceable role in household electricity and traffic lighting.

[0003] Currently, due to technological limitations, it is impossible to measure the temperature of the internal rotor position during generator operation. In this case, operators cannot grasp the actual temperature of the rotor in a timely and accurate manner. When the rotor temperature continues to rise and exceeds the safe operating range, if the generator continues to run, the insulation layer on the rotor will gradually be damaged due to high temperature, which will further cause short circuits and may even burn out the stator coils, thereby significantly increasing the generator's failure rate and maintenance costs, and seriously affecting its normal operation and service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a generator rotor temperature measuring device, which solves the problem that existing technologies cannot measure the temperature of the internal rotor position, and operators cannot grasp the actual temperature of the rotor in a timely and accurate manner.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a generator rotor temperature measuring device, comprising a generator housing, a stator core and a stator, wherein the inner wall of the generator housing is fixedly connected to the stator core, the interior of the stator core is wound and connected to the stator, and a temperature measuring mechanism is installed on the outer side of the stator;

[0006] The temperature measuring mechanism includes a rotor assembly disposed inside the stator, a busbar wound around the annular groove of the rotor assembly, slip rings connected to both ends of the busbar and connected to the rotor assembly, a temperature measuring antenna fixed to the outer wall of the busbar, a chip connected to the bottom end of the temperature measuring antenna, a receiving antenna embedded in the inner wall of the stator, and the top outer wall of the receiving antenna slidably connected to the wiring hole of the generator housing.

[0007] Preferably, a main shaft is fixedly connected inside the rotor assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the two ends of the main shaft are rotatably connected to a generator end cover and a generator tail cover via bearings, and both the generator end cover and the generator tail cover are threadedly connected to the generator housing by several bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the rotor assembly consists of rotor windings and a rotor core.

[0010] Beneficial effects

[0011] This utility model provides a generator rotor temperature measuring device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] A receiving antenna can be embedded in the inner wall of the stator and passed through the wiring hole in the generator housing;

[0013] The temperature measuring antenna is then fixed to the busbar at the annular groove of the rotor assembly. In this way, the temperature of the rotor assembly inside the generator housing can be measured by the temperature measuring antenna in conjunction with the chip. The receiving antenna receives the temperature measurement signal from the chip and connects to the external electrical control cabinet, etc., so that the signal can be decoded and the measured temperature can be displayed. This allows for timely detection and early handling when the rotor assembly temperature is too high, thereby ensuring the service life and power generation efficiency of the device.

[0019] The temperature measuring mechanism includes a rotor assembly 8 disposed inside the stator 3, a busbar 4 wound around the annular groove of the rotor assembly 8, slip rings 5 ​​connected to both ends of the busbar 4 and connected to the rotor assembly 8, a temperature measuring antenna 6 fixed to the outer wall of the busbar 4, a chip 7 connected to the bottom end of the temperature measuring antenna 6, a receiving antenna 9 embedded in the inner wall of the stator 3, and the top outer wall of the receiving antenna 9 slidably connected to the wire hole of the generator housing 1.

[0020] A wire hole is machined on the top of the generator housing 1 to allow the receiving antenna 9 to pass through. The receiving antenna 9 extends out of the generator housing 1 and can be connected to the signal receiver and electrical control cabinet, etc. An annular groove is machined on the outer wall of the rotor assembly 8 to install the busbar 4. Alternatively, the annular groove can be omitted, and the busbar 4 can be directly wound and fixed to an appropriate position on the rotor assembly 8. A temperature measuring antenna 6 is fixed on the busbar 4. The temperature measuring antenna 6 is made of copper wire. The chip 7 can be an SFX01 model or a different model chip can be selected according to requirements. In this way, the temperature measuring antenna 6 and the chip 7 can form a temperature sensor structure. The temperature measuring antenna 6 and the chip 7 are wireless and passive, do not hinder the rotation of the rotor assembly 8, and rotate together with the rotor assembly 8.

[0021] In this embodiment, the rotor assembly 8 is further configured such that a main shaft 10 is fixedly connected inside.

[0023] The main shaft 10 can be supported by the generator end cover 12 and the generator tail cover 13.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotor assembly 8 is further configured to consist of rotor windings and rotor core.
