Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a turning and straightening trolley for a large generator rotor shaft. Background Technology
[0002] The rotor shaft of a large generator is a core component of the generator, and its installation, disassembly, transportation, and maintenance are crucial aspects of generator maintenance. Due to the large size and heavy weight of the generator rotor shaft, there are many difficulties and safety hazards in turning it over and uprighting it.
[0003] Currently, the handling and operation of large generator rotor shafts typically employ methods such as overhead crane hoisting and pulley movement. For example, Chinese patent CN203352392U discloses a generator rotor assembly / disassembly device. This device includes a transport trolley and its drive unit. The upper surface of the transport trolley supports a separately heated turbine generator rotor retaining ring. A linear motion track is arranged along the axial direction of the turbine generator rotor on the working surface. The transport trolley moves along this linear motion track under the drive of the drive unit. This device is mainly used for assembling and disassembling the retaining ring, but it offers limited support for rotor shaft reversal and verticalization operations.
[0004] The main problems with the existing technology are: currently, the rotor shaft is turned over on a wooden board in conjunction with a crane. During the turning process, due to the large weight of the rotor shaft, it is difficult for operators to control its rotation angle and speed. Furthermore, the shaft is not supported during the turning process, so it will sway from side to side, which poses a safety hazard. At present, there is a lack of integrated equipment that can simultaneously achieve the functions of turning over and standing upright, which leads to safety risks for workers during operation and also increases the difficulty and time cost of operation.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a large generator rotor shaft turning and straightening trolley that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has integrated functions. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a turning and uprighting trolley for a large generator rotor shaft, which integrates convenient turning and uprighting operations for the large generator rotor shaft. This objective of the utility model is:
[0007] This utility model proposes a turning and straightening trolley for a large generator rotor shaft, including a track frame with a movable track. A first movable disk and a second movable disk are mounted on the movable track. A fixing frame is mounted on the first movable disk, and a rotor shaft fixing assembly is rotatably mounted on the fixing frame. The rotor shaft fixing assembly has a rotor shaft mounting hole. A fixing clip is mounted on the second movable disk, and the fixing clip has a slot that mates with the rotor shaft fixing assembly. The rotor shaft fixing assembly is locked and fixed in the slot as the first movable disk moves.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotor shaft fixing assembly is connected to the fixing frame via a rotating shaft, the rotor shaft mounting hole is vertically arranged, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft intersects the central axis of the rotor shaft mounting hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing clip is equipped with a mounting plate, the mounting plate has a threaded hole, the fixing bracket has a threaded hole, and the threaded hole on the mounting plate is arranged opposite to the threaded hole on the fixing bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, a push rod is installed on one side of the fixing clip, the extension direction of the push rod is parallel to the extension direction of the moving track, and the length of the push rod is greater than the length of the moving track.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotor shaft fixing assembly includes a protrusion, the vertical cross-section of which is rectangular, and the vertical cross-section of the slot is rectangular.
[0012] Furthermore, a lifting frame is installed at the lower part of the track frame, which is used to raise the height of the track frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the lifting frame is a hydraulic lifting frame.
[0014] Furthermore, a movable frame is installed at the lower part of the raised frame, and rollers are rotatably installed at the lower part of the movable frame.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using the rotor shaft fixing assembly to rotate and connect the rotor shaft to the fixing frame, the rotor shaft can be reversed, avoiding the risk caused by the lower part moving during the reversal process;
[0016] The height of the track frame can be adjusted by raising the lifting frame to adapt to the needs of different working environments. The mobile frame equipped with rollers improves the mobility of the entire device, allowing the entire device to move flexibly within the workplace, greatly improving the ease of operation and safety of the large generator rotor shaft turning and straightening process.
