According to the survey conducted by the Machinery General Components Industry Association in the first half of the year on the investigation of a dozen or so companies, despite the lack of upward momentum, the economic performance in the first half of the year was better than expected, and it has stabilized and stopped, and the general parts and components industry has entered the market. Slow growth period.
Slow growth in the industry
Due to the global economic development, the crisis has been one after another. In the first half of the year, the host equipment market was in the doldrums, the demand for accessories was weak, and with the impact of foreign anti-dumping, the orders for mechanical general parts and components industry decreased significantly in the first half of the year. slow growth.
According to Wang Changming, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China National Machinery General Parts & Components Industry Association, the total output value of China's machinery parts and components industry in the first half of this year was 155 billion yuan, an increase of 2.64% year-on-year.
The development of the six majors is not balanced. The development of the gear industry is relatively good, and the development of the fasteners, chains, springs, powder metallurgy, and transmission couplings is generally in the first half of the year and basically remains at the level of the same period last year.
In the first half of the year, the import and export of the general parts and components industry also showed a slow growth trend. The total value of imports and exports was 14.141 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 1.89%. Of which, exports were 5.794 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 3.16%. The export situation of gear products was relatively good, totaling US$2.444 billion, accounting for 42.18% of the total export value of the industry, an increase of 8.86% year-on-year. The number of fasteners that had originally ranked first in the industry declined. The proportion fell to 39.7%, a year-on-year negative growth of -0.33%, and the export market decreased.
According to the data provided by the secretariat of the fastener branch, the total output of the fastener industry in the first half of this year is estimated to reach 3.15 million tons, and the sales volume will reach 30.5 billion yuan. The industry has exported 1,244,300 tons of fasteners. Due to the contraction of the international market, coupled with the increasingly serious trade frictions such as anti-dumping, fastener companies have great foreign trade pressure.
In addition, the chain's exports in the first half of the year totaled 674 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 11.6% of the total export value of the industry, which represented a negative growth of -6.27% year-on-year; spring specialty exports in the first half of the year amounted to 150 million U.S. dollars, although the amount was small, but its year-on-year increase It reached 17.71%.
In the first half of the year, the import volume of the general parts and components industry was 8.347 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 3.16%. Among them, the gear import volume was 6.203 billion U.S. dollars, which accounted for 74.3% of the total industry import value, an increase of 2.89% year-on-year; the number of imported fasteners reached 125,800 tons, an increase of -0.11% year on year, and the amount was 1.475 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of -3.88 year-on-year. %.
The professional import and export performance of gears is more prominent and has become a bright spot in the development of the industry. This is mainly due to the relatively strong demand in emerging markets in the international market.
Accelerating business transformation
In the first half of the year, due to the recovery and development of projects such as high-speed rail, nuclear power, and automobiles, as well as the rise of emerging markets in the world, the development of the mechanical parts and components industry was boosted. The decline in the prices of raw materials, especially steel, has also reduced the cost pressure on companies.
As the market shrinks and the profit space decreases, most of the related companies have made great efforts in adjusting product structure, strengthening management, and research and development of new products, and have also innovated sales models.
Taking the fastener industry as an example, in the first half of the year, the industry strengthened the research and development of new products, and production and added value increased significantly. New product sales and production increased by 57.6% and 81.4% year-on-year, respectively, and most companies are new. There has been a breakthrough in product input and output.
It is reported that in the first half of the year, the secretariat of the Chain Drives Subcommittee conducted research on a number of companies in Hangzhou and Huzhou in the Deqing area. Except that the production of individual enterprises decreased slightly compared to the same period of last year, most enterprises were basically the same as last year, and most of them were small and micro enterprises. Difficulties in production and operation make it difficult for many SMEs to raise funds. Funds have even become the number one problem. Many companies have many new developments, new changes, and new highlights, especially in terms of innovation-driven, transformation and upgrading, advancement of science and technology, and promotion of corporate culture.
The insulation breakdown accident often occurred in generator. It includes interphases short circuit, inter-turn short circuit and ground fault.
The interphase short circuit: the generator windings ends will be greatly impacted by electric power and may make the coil end deformed under two-phase or three-phase short circuit and differential protection tripping happening.
Inter-turn short circuit: Generator outlet blasting, if it continues a long time, the stator copper wire will be melted. When no-load run, the generator three-phase voltage will be imbalance.
Ground fault: Generator breakdown location is in the linear portion or notch position and stator ground protection act. The insulation resistance value between stator ground and ground is zero or minimum.
The fundamental reason of generator insulation breakdown is that the stator coil insulation is weak or there is a corona etching in notch in run time. The treatment method is to find the point of breakdown and reworked and reinforced insulation. At the same time, eliminating the corona etching in a maximum extent is important.
III. A large noise or vibration with generator
The reasons of a large noise or vibration with generator are:
1. Foundation bolts loose, or STG subsidence. Treatment: fastening bolts. Recalibration concentricity.
2. Generator rotor and Steam Turbine shaft are misalignment. Treatment: calibration concentricity.
3. Bearing wall worn or damaged under short oil. Treatment: repaired bearing or replace a new bearing with same model.
4. There is a friction between the stator and rotor. Treatment: find the friction location and reason, and then eliminate it.
5. Fan or other fasteners loose. Treatment: Tighten fan and fasteners.
6. Rotor coil partial short circuit, two points grounding or wiring errors. Treatment: please inspect the insulation of slip ring and the rotor coil to the ground. Or connect to the DC power source and check the voltage drop of each coil, winding direction and wiring method. So we can identify the cause of the malfunction and eliminate them.
7. Brush is too hard, or the pressure is too large. Treatment: adjust the pressure or replace the same type of brush.
8. Three-phase current are severe asymmetry. Treatment: please investigate that the three-phase current imbalance is in the allowable range or not. If it is not in the allowable range, please adjust three-phase load or reduce the load.
9. Stator winding short circuit or ground. Treatment: Find out the fault and repair it.
10. External fault or lightning strike. Treatment: if the vibration time is too long, please stop the STG and inspect.
Typical
cases:
This is a 15 MW generator from a Shandong customer. The vibration of generator is reached to 0.12mm in running. After inspection the generator, we found that rotor dynamic AC impedance upheaval 12% in 2400-2700 and the dynamic inter-turn short circuit is serious. It destroys the balance of the magnetic field and causes the electromagnetic force uneven of generator rotor. After removal of the rotor retaining ring and treatment the rotor inter-turns, we start the STG. The vibration is about 0.01mm.
IV. The temperature of a generator is too high.
Generally the temperature of a generator will be in the allowable value, if the generator running normally and the current, voltage, frequency, power, excitation current and power factor are all within the allowable fluctuation range. If a generator stator, core and other parts temperature are too high, please consider the following cases:
1. Generator overload operation and exceed the allowable time. Treatment: Please reduce the generator load to the rated load or under rated load as soon as possible.
2. Three-phase current are serious imbalance. Treatment: please find out the reason of imbalance. If it is the voltage causing, please check if it is the generator inter-turn short circuit. If it is load causing, please adjust the load and make it balance.
3. The ventilation cooling system of generator is poor. For example, the temperature is too high, the air duct or exhaust duct are blocked, the coil and its ends are serious fouling. Treatment: please reduce the load suitability, improve ventilation, and remove fouling.
4. The stator winding portion short circuit or ground. Treatment: Find out the short circuit or ground point and repair them, and then eliminate short circuit or ground risks.
5. Insulation of the stator core may be partially damaged and short circuit, so there is a vortex and overheat. Treatment: please reduce the load suitability. If the generator reduces its efficiency obviously, please repair the generator stator core.
6. The bearing is short of lubricating oil. The oil number is wrong. The oil quality is bad. The bearing is installed with a wrong way or the bearing is damaged. Treatment: please find out the reason and then replace the oil or clean, adjust or replace bearing.
V. Generator rotor ground
Symptom: Generator grounding one point or two points grounding light plate light.
Fault Analysis: Generator rotor winding insulation damage, coil deformity and severe dust and greasy attached in the ends seriously are all leading to the grounding of the generator rotor windings. When the generator rotor winding grounding in one point, there is electrical current pass as the ground does not constitute an electrical circuit.
However, after one point grounded, it is easy of leading another grounding point. If any part in excitation circuit ground, it can form ground fault of two or more points ground. It is very dangerous.
After the failure, the rotor windings are short-circuited. Because of the small winding DC resistance, the excitation current will increase. So the magnetic field of generator is out of balance, and main magnetic flux reduces largely. So the STG will vibrant strongly. Meanwhile the power factor of the generator will be increased significantly and get into leading phase running (absorption of reactive power from the grid).
The stator field becomes in the frond and the rotor field becomes in the back. It will make the stator current increases. If the watcher notice that there is no excitation varying but the excitation current and stator current suddenly increases, and the excitation voltage and AC voltage are all suddenly drop, and power factor meter indicates increasing or leading phase, it means the generator rotor grounded or inter-turn short circuited. You should shut down the STG and blow-out magnetic. Please inspect the excitation system and rotor windings, and find out the short circuit point and treat it.
VI. Excitation upgrading and generator test
Excitation system upgrading, brushless exciter changes into the SCR excitation and make the generator maintenance easily. And it removes the disadvantage of brushless excitation dynamic adjustment slowly. The generator test includes stator insulation resistance test, the absorption ratio test, the iron loss test, leak test, AC and DC voltage withstand test, the rotor high speed balancing and overspeed test, dynamic and static AC impedance test, the generator no-load test, short circuit test, temperature rise test, residual pressure measurement, axis voltage measurement.
