What is the meaning of alternator?

Publish Time: 2022-09-12     Origin: Site

The alternator is the heart of the excavator. If there is a problem with the generator, the impact on the excavator is very large. If the excavator generator set has a common failure, the excavator cannot be started. Needless to say, the construction period will be affected, and the project will also be affected.

What do the four lines above the excavator power generation represent?

1. It represents the terminal (B) of the battery, and the B terminal has the function of always being charged.

2. It represents the terminal (M) of the electrical appliance, which plays the role of charging the battery. The current direction is from M to B during charging.

3. The terminal (BR) representing the self-starting switch can provide pulse signals to the tachometer. Only when the BR terminal is charged and a loop is formed through the grounding of the E terminal, the M terminal and the B terminal can be pulled in.

4. It represents the ground wire (E), so that the diode can protect the coil.


What is the repair method for alternator charging failure?

1) alternator drive belt.

① Check the condition of the alternator drive belt. If the alternator drive belt is worn or damaged, it should be replaced. It requires the contact of the front-end accessories such as a quality breaker.

② Check the tension of the alternator drive belt. Adjust this tension if necessary.

2) Charging circuit. Check battery cables, wires, and connectors in the charging circuit. Clean and tighten all electrical connections. Replace all scrapped pieces.

3) alternator or regulator. Check the alternator or regulator for proper operation, repair the alternator or replace the regulator if necessary.


How to deal with the noise of the alternator?

Analysis of possible causes of failure:

1) alternator drive belt.

2) alternator drive pulley.

3) alternator bearings.

The maintenance method of the noise control fault of the alternator of the Cat 325 excavator:

1) alternator drive belt.

① Check the alternator drive belt for wear or damage.

② Check whether the alternator mounting bracket is broken or worn. Repair or replace the alternator mounting bracket to ensure proper alignment of the alternator drive belt and alternator drive pulley.

2) Loosen the nut of the alternator drive pulley and tighten the nut to the correct tightening torque.


How to check an alternator?

1. Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to the ON position. Verify that the alternator indicator is illuminated.

2. Measure the voltage between terminals B and E of the alternator. If the measured voltage is about 24V, it can be considered that the alternator circuit is normal. If the measured voltage is low, the cause of the failure may be an insufficient battery capacity or a loose wire connector. When the voltage is zero volts, then the wires between the fuse box and the alternator are loose or open. Also, if the ground wire is open, the alternator cannot generate electricity.

3. Then, start the engine and measure the voltage the alternator produces as it turns. As above, measure the voltage between terminals B and E next to the alternator. If the voltage is around 28V, the alternator is working normally. If the rated voltage is not being issued, there is something wrong with the alternator or voltage stabilizer.

    What is a gear pump?

    ​The gear pump consists of two gears, the pump body and the front and rear covers to form two enclosed spaces. As the gears rotate, the volume of space on the side of the gear displacement increases from small to large, creating a vacuum to suck in the liquid, and the volume of space on the side of the gear engagement increases the larger it becomes smaller, and the liquid is pushed into the pipeline. The intake cavity and the ejection cavity are separated by the engagement line of the two gears. The pressure at the output of the gear pump depends solely on the resistance at the pump output.

    What do you know about the use of gear pumps?

    ​The gear pump is simple and compact in construction, small, light, good in manufacturability, cheap in price, strong in self-priming, insensitive to oil pollution, large in speed range, able to withstand shock loads, convenient in maintenance and reliable in operation. The gear pump is a rotary pump that depends on the change and movement of the work volume formed between the pump cylinder and the combing gear to transport liquid or put pressure on it.

    How to select a control valve?

    ​The control valve consists of two main assemblies: valve body assembly and actuator assembly (or actuator system), which are divided into four series: single seat series regulating valve, double seat series regulating valve, sleeve cylinder series regulating valve and automatic series regulating valve.

    How can we use the regulator correctly?

    The regulator compares the measured value of the parameters of the production process with the given value, and after the deviation is obtained, an output signal is generated according to a certain adjustment rule to push the actuator to eliminate the deviation, so that the parameter is kept near the given value or changes according to a predetermined rule. controller.
