Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydro-generator technology, and in particular to the mechanical structure of the control oil circuit of the external pump cooling thrust oil tank of a vertical hydro-generator. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of hydroelectric generators, the thrust oil tanks of giant units are extremely large, placing higher demands on the oil tank circuitry. In some units, due to insufficiently defined oil circuitry, the oil supplied to the thrust bearings is a mixture of cold and hot oil from the oil tank, rather than simply cold oil. This results in higher thrust bearing temperatures, especially if this problem exists after the thrust bearings have already been installed and the oil tanks have been filled, making the project timeline even tighter. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that the oil supplied to the thrust bearing is a mixture of cold and hot oil in the oil tank, rather than simply cold oil, which leads to a high temperature of the thrust bearing. This invention provides a mechanical structure for cooling the thrust oil tank control oil circuit of a vertical hydro generator with an external pump.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] The mechanical structure of the control oil circuit for the external pump cooling thrust oil tank of a vertical hydro generator includes: a thrust oil tank, an L-shaped oil baffle plate, an upper oil baffle plate, and an oil tank cover. The bottom end of the thrust oil tank is mounted on the housing, and the top end of the thrust oil tank forms a sealed space with the thrust head through the oil tank cover. The left end of the L-shaped oil baffle plate is mounted to the lower end of the thrust oil tank through a first support seat. An insulating plate is provided on the upper right end of the L-shaped oil baffle plate, close to the thrust bearing with a gap. The left end of the upper oil baffle plate is mounted to the thrust oil tank through a second support seat. At the end, a gap is left between the right side of the upper oil baffle plate and the mirror plate. A pipe assembly is provided between the L-shaped oil baffle plate and the upper oil baffle plate. An oil inlet is provided at the lower part of the thrust oil groove, and an oil outlet is provided at the upper part of the thrust oil groove. An oil inlet passage is formed between the L-shaped oil baffle plate, the thrust oil groove, the housing, and the thrust bearing. An oil outlet passage is formed between the upper oil baffle plate, the oil baffle plate, the mirror plate, and the thrust oil groove. A residual oil collection groove is formed between the thrust oil groove, the upper oil baffle plate, the oil groove cover, and the thrust head. The residual oil collection groove is connected to the oil inlet passage through the pipe assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, an oil distribution plate is provided between the first support base and the housing, and the oil distribution plate has evenly distributed openings.

[0007] Furthermore, the L-shaped oil separator is mounted on the housing via a support assembly.

However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0020] Example:

[0021] like Figure 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a mechanical structure for the control oil circuit of the external pump cooling thrust oil tank of a vertical hydro generator, including a thrust oil tank 1, an L-shaped oil baffle 2, an upper oil baffle 7, and an oil tank cover 11. The bottom end of the thrust oil tank 1 is mounted on the housing 12, and the top end of the thrust oil tank 1 is close to the thrust head 15 through the oil tank cover 11 to form a sealed space. The left end of the L-shaped oil baffle 2 is mounted to the lower end of the thrust oil tank 1 through a first support seat. An insulating plate 6 is provided on the upper right end of the L-shaped oil baffle 2, which is close to the thrust bearing 13 with a gap. The left end of the upper oil baffle 7 is mounted to the upper end of the thrust oil tank 1 through a second support seat. The upper oil baffle 7 has a gap on its right side close to the mirror plate 14. A pipe assembly 4 is provided between the L-shaped oil baffle 2 and the upper oil baffle 7. An oil inlet 9 is provided at the lower part of the thrust oil groove 1, and an oil outlet 10 is provided at the upper part of the thrust oil groove 1. An oil inlet passage is formed between the L-shaped oil baffle 2, the thrust oil groove 1, the housing 12, and the thrust bearing 13. An oil outlet passage is formed between the upper oil baffle 7, the oil baffle 2, the mirror plate 14, and the thrust oil groove 1. A residual oil collection groove 16 is formed between the thrust oil groove 1, the upper oil baffle 7, the oil groove cover 11, and the thrust head 15. The residual oil collection groove 16 is connected to the oil inlet passage through the pipe assembly 4.

[0022] Specifically, an oil distribution plate 3 is provided between the first support base and the housing 12, and the oil distribution plate 3 has evenly distributed openings.

[0023] Specifically, the L-shaped oil separator 2 is mounted on the housing 12 via the support assembly 5.

After the cooling oil flows through the thrust bearing 13 and its temperature rises to become hot oil, it is discharged from the oil groove through the oil discharge passage formed between the oil plate 7, the thrust oil groove 1, the oil separator 2, and the mirror plate 14. When the thrust bearing is running, some oil mist will enter the residual oil collection tank 16 from the gap between the upper oil baffle 7 and the mirror plate 14. When the oil level in the residual oil collection tank 16 rises, it enters the oil inlet passage through the pipe assembly 4.
