However, during the ship modification process, users often do not want to involve the machining of intermediate shafts, which brings certain challenges to the installation and modification of shaft-driven generators.
[0003] Traditional marine shaft-driven generator slip rings and their insulation devices typically require insertion through the end of the main shaft or drilling into the shaft during installation. However, the limited and complex interior space of most ship cabins results in extremely limited installation space around the main shaft, making assembly very difficult. Furthermore, some converted ships, due to their structural and design limitations, cannot accommodate main shaft drilling, further restricting the applicability of traditional slip rings and their insulation devices.
