Method of manufacturing a rotor
View Patent ↗A method of monitoring quality of a control circuit in a power plant is provided. The quality of the control circuit is continuously assessed by determining characteristic quantities describing the quality by applying a plurality of testing methods suitable for describing dynamic properties of the control circuit to current operating data originating from the instrumentation and control equipment of the power plant, and by evaluating the characteristic quantities.
1. A method of manufacturing a rotor for an electrical machine, comprising:
providing a hollow metal cylinder; and
plastically deforming the hollow metal cylinder permanently to a predetermined shape and to a predetermined size;
providing a pressing unit arranged inside or around the cylinder; and
applying a pressing force via the pressing unit to at least at of an inner or outer,
wherein the pressing force is applied while the hollow metal cylinder is arranged inside a cavity of an mould element, and
wherein the mould element comprises a matrix structure, in particular comprises a protrusion, which corresponds to a predetermined texture on an outer wall of the rotor.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plastically deforming of the hollow metal cylinder comprises
cold forming and/or
hot forming and/or
work hardening the cylinder.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cylinder is hot-formed, in particular at a temperature in the range of 600 to 700 degrees Celsius, and cooled after and/or during the forming process.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing force in a radial direction of the cylinder is applied.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the pressing unit contacting the cylinder is structured such that a contacted surface of the cylinder takes a predetermined texture.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing force is applied while the hollow metal cylinder is arranged inside a cavity of an mould element.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the mould element comprises a layer of armoured concrete.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing force is applied while an inner mould element is arranged inside a cavity of the hollow metal cylinder.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the mould element comprises a layer of armoured concrete.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the mould element comprises a matrix structure, in particular comprises a protrusion, which corresponds to a predetermined texture on an inner wall of the rotor.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the mould element comprises a replaceable matrix structure insert.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mould element comprises a replaceable matrix structure insert.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing unit applies pressure on the cylinder using hydraulic means.
14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing unit applies pressure on the cylinder using electric means.
15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing unit applies pressure on the cylinder using mechanical means.
16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow metal cylinder is sealed and pressured water is injected into the cylinder as pressing unit.
17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing of the cylinder is performed in multiple steps and/or the length and/or pressing force of the pressing unit in a radial direction is adjusted and/or the pressing unit is controlled by a controlling device.
