AXLE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed axle generator has its stator body 2 suspended from ring 1 of frame by means of taut strut members 14 made in the form of hollow trapezoidal- or V-section bodies 2 or those forming such section together with inner wall of ring 1; hollow bodies 2 function to impart desired stiffness to ring 1. Wider base of hollow bodies 2 radially abuts against outer surface of ring 1. Cooling air or cooling water is conveyed through spaces 18 formed by members 14; due to such arrangement part of heat loss can be returned to running water flowing over cold wall of frame enlarged by taut strut members 14. The latter ensure stiffness of stator suspension capable of sustaining any thermal and magnetic loads. EFFECT: enhanced stiffness of stator suspension; improved cooling conditions of generator. 8 cl, 9 dwg
