In Place Machining Of Collector Ring

View page

US Patent:

20230020562, Jan 19, 2023

Filed:

Jul 14, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/376014

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Hiram Lee Avant - Wilmington NC, US
William Hopper - Lewiston ID, US
Lorenzo Pelayo - Payette ID, US
Joseph Matthew Travis - Huntersville NC, US
Bernard Cantin - Charlotte NC, US

International Classification:

H02K 15/00
H02K 7/18
H02K 13/00
F03B 13/08
F03B 3/18

Abstract:

A method for in-place machining of a collector ring attached to a turbine shaft of a hydroelectric generator includes: attaching a support member to stationary portions of the hydroelectric generator, the support member being configured to support a machine tool at an angle parallel to an inclination angle of an axis of rotation of the turbine shaft; attaching an adjustable positioning device to the support member; attaching the machine tool to the adjustable positioning device, the machine tool being configured to perform a machining operation on the collector ring; controlling a rotational speed of the turbine shaft to a specified rotational speed by controlling a flow of water through the turbine; adjusting the adjustable positioning device to adjust a position of the machine tool with respect to the collector ring; and performing the machining operation on the collector ring at the specified rotational speed of the turbine shaft.

Replacing A Stub Shaft Bearing For A Hydroelectric Turbine Using A Runner Hub Lifting Device

View page

US Patent:

20230008888, Jan 12, 2023

Filed:

Jul 6, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/368399

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Wagner Vanci da Silva - Concord NC, US
Bernard Cantin - Charlotte NC, US

International Classification:

F03B 11/06
F03B 13/08

Abstract:

The stub shaft bearing for a stub shaft can be replaced while the stub shaft remains installed in a hydroelectric unit. A runner hub lifting device may be positioned within a discharge ring surrounding a runner hub. The runner hub lifting device may lift the runner hub, and a stub shaft bearing may be removed from a stub shaft. The stub shaft bearing may be disassembled into bearing sections while located in a chamber in the hydroelectric unit. The bearing sections may be removed from the chamber through a service hatch in the chamber. A replacement stub shaft bearing may be moved into the chamber and installed on the stub shaft. The runner hub lifting device may lower the runner hub.

US Patent:

20230011857, Jan 12, 2023

Filed:

Jul 9, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/371667

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Steven Parker - Charlotte NC, US
Nathan Steele - Concord NC, US
Lewis Hulbert Morgan - Wenatchee WA, US
Bernard Cantin - Charlotte NC, US
Thomas C. Coulson - Connell WA, US

International Classification:

B30B 1/34
B21D 3/10
B21D 3/16
B30B 7/02
B30B 15/16

Abstract:

On-site pressing of field poles for a hydroelectric generator is provided. A field pole may be placed on a press cart and press bars may be placed on top of the field pole. The press cart is moved along a track to transport the field pole to a pressing unit. Hydraulic cylinders in the pressing unit press the field pole and the press bars between the cart and a top plate of the pressing unit to straighten the field pole.
