Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frame coil processing and production technology, specifically a stator bar VPI hot pressing tool. Background Technology

[0002] VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) stator bars are key insulation components of stator windings in high-voltage motors (such as hydro-generators and pumped storage units). They are manufactured using vacuum pressure impregnation technology, which involves impregnating epoxy resin under high vacuum to eliminate air gaps within the insulation layer and improve overall insulation integrity. As the heart of the generator, the stator bar is also the most expensive part. Therefore, improving the stability of hot pressing and the consistency of the stator bars during manufacturing is crucial, as their quality directly affects the lifespan of the entire unit. VPI technology, due to its combination of insulation reliability, cost-effectiveness, and automation potential, is gradually replacing multi-adhesive molding processes and becoming the mainstream technology for high-voltage motor stator bars, especially with broad prospects in the fields of hydropower and new energy equipment.

[0003] Currently, during the VPI hot pressing process, the R-corner of the wire rod lacks a positioning device, and there are no support blocks at the upper and lower leads of the wire rod. Prolonged high-temperature baking (150℃, 12h) can easily cause deformation of the copper leads, resulting in inconsistent wire rod quality and affecting the quality of the wire rod after it is unloaded, thereby reducing the pass rate of the wire rod after hot pressing. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: Referring to 1-5, in this embodiment, a stator bar VPI hot pressing fixture includes: a base plate 1; two positioning frames 2 fixedly disposed on the base plate 1, the two positioning frames 2 being symmetrically arranged along the diagonal of the base plate 1; a positioning base frame 3 fixedly disposed inside the positioning frames 2, the positioning base frame 3 having a C-shaped cross-section, and a plurality of positioning slots 4 opened at the top of the positioning base frame 3; a pressure frame 5 slidably disposed inside the positioning frames 2, the pressure frame 5 being located above the positioning base frame 3; a pressure plate 6 disposed inside the pressure frame 5, the bottom end of the pressure plate 6 having a plurality of positioning grooves 7, the positioning slots 4 and the positioning grooves 7 being connected when the pressure plate 6 is pressed into the positioning base frame 3; and a plurality of bar bodies. 13, set on the base plate 1, the lead end of the bar body 13 is located inside the positioning slot 4 and positioning groove 7 to fix the lead end; several straight abutments 14 are located between two adjacent bar bodies 13, and R-angle abutments 27 are fixedly set at both ends of the straight abutments 14. The surface of the R-angle abutments 27 is tightly fitted with the R-angle of the bar body 13. By setting the positioning slot 4 and positioning groove 7, the lead of the bar body 13 can be fixed to prevent it from deforming due to excessive stability during hot pressing. By setting the R-angle abutments 27, the R-angle of the bar body 13 can be positioned and fixed to prevent deformation and improve the pass rate of the product after hot pressing.

[0023] It also includes: several reference plates 25, fixedly set on the base plate 1, with the bottom end of the straight abutment 14 in contact with the surface of the reference plate 25; several positioning posts 17, fixedly set on both sides of the reference plate 25, with an adjustment frame 18 fixedly set at the top of the positioning post 17; a pressure iron 20, set at the top of the straight abutment 14; and several adjusting bolts 19, respectively threaded on the adjustment frame 18 and the positioning frame 2.

By setting the reference plate 25, correction can be performed to prevent deformation after hot pressing. By setting the adjusting bolts 19, the pressure iron 20 can be supported to prevent the deformation force of the bar body 13 from being too large and causing the pressure iron 20 to deform. The position of the pressure frame 5 can also be adjusted to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the pins of the bar body 13.

[0024] It also includes: an upper pad 16, which is set at the top of the bar body 13, and the top of the upper pad 16 is in contact with the bottom of the pressure iron 20; and a lower pad 15, which is set at the bottom of the bar body 13, and the bottom of the lower pad 15 is in contact with the surface of the reference plate 25.

[0028] It also includes: a limiting through hole 10, which is opened through the pressure frame 5; and a limiting bolt 11, which is fixedly installed inside the limiting through hole 10 to prevent the pressure frame 5 from deforming.

[0029] This utility model provides a VPI hot pressing fixture for stator wire rods, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0030] The worker places the bar body 13 to be hot-pressed onto the reference plate 25. During placement, the lower pad 15 is placed below the bar body 13, followed by the placement of the straight guide iron 14 between adjacent bar bodies 13. Two pressing blocks 23 are placed in the middle, and a trapezoidal block 24 is inserted between the two pressing blocks. Then, the lead end of the bar body 13 is inserted into the positioning slot 4 on the positioning base 3. Afterward, the upper pad 16 is placed on top of the bar body 13, and the pressing iron 20 and the installation adjustment bracket 18 are covered. The wedge-shaped block 22 is inserted into the square through hole 21 to press and fix the pressure iron 20. During the pressing of the pressure iron 20, the trapezoidal block 24 goes into the space between the two pressing blocks 23, so that the pressure block 23 and the pressure iron 20 simultaneously press the bar body 13, thus fixing the bar body 13. After fixing, the workers rotate the adjusting bolt 19 in sequence to apply force to the pressure iron 20 to prevent deformation. The pressure frame 5 is applied force to make the pressure plate 6 go into the positioning base frame 3 to position and support the lead end of the bar body 13.
