  • Patent number: 11486363
    Abstract: A blade transport holder for supporting multiple blades is provided according to the present application. The blade transport holder includes a first support assembly and a second support assembly. The first support assembly includes a first support frame and a first support member rotatably arranged at the first support frame, and the first support member is configured to fix root portions of the multiple blades; the second support assembly includes a second support frame and a second support member rotatably arranged at the second support frame, the second support member faces the first support member, and the second support member is configured to fix tip portions of the multiple blades. With the blade transport holder according to the present application, multiple blades can be transported at one time by a single blade transport holder.

  • Patent number: 11326580
    Abstract: A system for controlling a generator rotor locking pin, comprising a fixed locking pin and a rotor formed with a locking hole, and further comprising a detection reference component synchronously rotating with the rotor and formed with a detection hole, the detection hole radially corresponding to the locking hole; an optical quantity detection component fixed with respect to the rotor; and a control component configured to output a first control instruction to a rotor driving component according to a position signal of the detection hole obtained by the optical quantity detection component. The detection hole is used as an object to be detected, so that the circumferential relative position relationship of the locking hole with respect to the locking pin can be accurately determined, to output the first control instruction to the rotor driving component, thereby accurately centering the locking pin and the locking hole along with the rotation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11162473
    Abstract: A control method for a hydraulic control turning system of a generator rotor includes: establishing a length relationship table between multiple hydraulic cylinders of the hydraulic control turning system; selecting a reference hydraulic cylinder; acquiring current lengths of the multiple hydraulic cylinders when the multiple hydraulic cylinders are located at error correction positions; and adjusting lengths of the other hydraulic cylinders corresponding to a next driving stroke to conform with the length relationship table. With such an arrangement, the accumulated dimension error between the hydraulic cylinders may be dynamically corrected during the turning operation, thereby ensuring that the turning pins are accurately aligned with the pin holes in the generator, and the corresponding turning operation is performed after the generator set is locked. Based on this, a control device for a hydraulic control turning system of a generator rotor is further provided.
