Description

A kind of circulation-water pump electric machine high and low speed switching device
Technical field
The utility model is related to technical field of motors, more particularly to a kind of circulation-water pump electric machine high and low speed switching device.
Background technology
Circulation-water pump electric machine is in the consideration of energy saving in running, generally carries out high low speed transformation.By in high low speed junction box The adjustment of bolt connection piece, changes motor field number of pole-pairs, reaches change motor speed, and be finally reached reduction motor Exert oneself, the purpose of output power of motor is reduced, so as to realize the purpose of energy-conservation.Such as circulation-water pump electric machine is changed by the pole of single speed 16 For 16/18 pole double-speed motor, rated current is 309A during low speed, and electrical machine energy-saving effect is obvious after transformation.According to the method for operation Need, motor need to be made into high-speed cruising mode in spring, autumn makes the low speed method of operation into.Spiral shell in current high low speed junction box Bolt is generally by the way of hard copper connection sheet, and can not realize monitoring binding post state of temperature in motor operation.
From can be seen that by the attachment structure of existing high low speed junction box inner bolt due to lead bolt should transmit The electric action of electric current, while being secure component again, playing a part of compression connection sheet prevents coupling part from loosening heating.
From lead bolt needs from the point of view of the electric action of transmission electric current, determine that the material of lead bolt needs to use work I.e. industry fine copper red copper, and the material of red copper is partially soft;From lead bolt simultaneously secure component effect from the point of view of, it is necessary to Bolt material hardness is than larger.Annual needs at least twice with the high low speed for realizing motor changed by demounting bolt, especially motor Bolt looseness and multiple fastening inspection caused by vibration during frequent starting.
Contradiction produced by between the requirement of electric conductivity and the requirement of secure component, causes lead bolt screw thread to damage more Frequently, about 2-3 just occurs that bolt screw thread damages the situation for leading to not compress connection sheet and occurred.And lead bolt is with drawing The connected mode of line connects for silver soldering, once bolt screw thread is damaged, it is necessary to and re-start silver soldering and connect, construction technology is complex, Site operation difficulty is higher.
By the analysis to failure cause, motor down-lead binding post material is that anaerobic is copper, and hardness is partially soft, nut fastening force Square is less than normal, and repeatedly dismounting screw easily causes screw thread damage, further results in nut and binding post screw rod Tightening moment is less than normal.Simultaneously Because the material of connection bolt is softer than the material of brass nut, after electric motor starting overcurrent fever expansion, spiral shell is easily caused Bar screw thread stress exceedes the limit that screw thread can be born, and causes screw thread to damage.Binding post bolt crimping portion nut loosening, causes to connect Fastening force is tapered between connecing the fixing nut of copper bar, and contact resistance increase, hot-spot, vicious circle reaches to a certain degree Afterwards, occur gap between binding post and copper bar, under starting current impact, produce arc discharge, because space is smaller, electric arc extension It is fast-developing into phase fault to adjacent binding post.Had occurred and that several causes failed to find lead bolt in time in power system Loosening causes circulation-water pump electric machine to occur high low speed a-b box connection sheet overheat on startup, the accident such as electric discharge, considerably increases Maintenance cost, or even motor stator winding is damaged, Auxiliary Power System Voltage is influenceed, the stable operation of unit is threatened, it should cause Our great attention.
In summary, the damage of motor high and low speed switching device how is efficiently reduced, is current those skilled in the art Urgent problem.
