Problems solved by technology

The diameter of the secondary water droplets ranges from about 10 microns to hundreds of microns, and the flow velocity is relatively high. When they hit the surface of the high-speed rotating steam turbine blade, the blade will be damaged, causing water erosion, and affecting the safe operation and economy of the steam turbine.
But in the image taken by ordinary lens, the image of the object close to the lens is larger, and the image of the lens far away from the lens is smaller, so it is difficult to determine the size of the object in the image during image recognition
Therefore, there is currently no image measurement device used in the measurement of various parameters such as water droplets and water films in the wet steam two-phase flow in the steam turbine.

Embodiment 1

[0021] A steam turbine wet steam measurement image method probe using a telecentric lens and a CCD or COMS digital camera, such as figure 1 shown. The telecentric lens 3 is connected with the CCD or CMOS camera 2 and is installed in the probe rod 1. A glass window 5 is arranged in front of the telecentric lens to prevent secondary water droplets 6 from washing into the telecentric lens. The working distance of the telecentric lens is f , that is, the distance from the telecentric lens to one end of the measurement area, and the depth of field range of the telecentric lens is f d , that is, the length of the measurement area of ​​the probe, the output of the CCD or CMOS camera 2 is connected to the computer 7 through the signal cable 8 for data processing and storage, when the water drop image is taken, the strong light emitted by the illumination source 4 irradiates the measured water drop 6 twice , the image of the water droplet 6 passes through the glass window 5 and is t...

Embodiment 2

[0030] When the velocity of water droplets is very high, the exposure time of the camera needs to be very short, such as at the nanosecond level. In such a short exposure time, if the illumination light source 4 in Embodiment 1 is still used, the image of the water droplet will be underexposed due to insufficient light intensity, which will affect the measurement or even fail to measure. A pulsed laser light source 9 is added to the steam turbine wet steam measurement image probe described in Embodiment 1. The duration of the pulsed laser light source 9 is extremely short, and the laser with a high power is irradiated to water droplets twice through the laser optical fiber 10, and the water droplets are enough. Bright, two images of water droplets are captured by a CCD or CMOS camera, and the lighting source 4 is used as an observation light source.

Embodiment 3

[0032] When measuring the wet steam of a steam turbine, it is necessary to measure the water film on the surface of the blade and the process of breaking the water film at the edge of the blade, and the direction of this measurement is at an angle of 90 degrees or a certain angle with the direction of the probe. The probe in Example 1 The needle can only measure the 2 water droplets in front of the probe, but cannot measure the 2 water droplets on the side of the probe or the water film on the blade surface. In the steam turbine wet steam measurement image probe described in Embodiment 1, a corner prism 11 is added before the telecentric lens, see Figure 4, so that the probe can measure the lateral secondary water droplets and the water film on the blade surface.

Abstract

A steam turbine wet steam measurement image probe is characterized in that the probe includes: a probe rod, a CCD or CMOS camera, a telecentric lens, an illumination source, a glass window and a computer, and the front end of the CCD or CMOS camera and the telecentric The lenses are connected together and installed in the probe rod. There is a glass window in front of the telecentric lens to prevent water droplets from washing into the telecentric lens. The output end of the CCD or CMOS camera is connected to the computer through the signal cable, and the data is processed and saved by the computer. When taking water droplet images, the strong light emitted by the illumination source hits the measured water droplet, and the image of the measured water droplet passes through the glass window and is received by the telecentric lens before being captured by a CCD or CMOS camera. The beneficial effect of the invention is that the characteristics of the telecentric lens and the CCD or CMOS digital camera are used to realize the measurement of the parameters of the wet steam two-phase flow in the steam turbine, the secondary water droplets and the water film of the blade, and meet the needs of the wet steam research and the prevention of water erosion in the steam turbine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steam turbine internal wet steam measurement device which combines image method and laser technology, in particular to a steam turbine wet steam measurement image probe, which is used to measure parameters such as secondary water droplets and blade surface water film and rupture of steam turbine internal wet steam . Background technique [0002] The steam turbine is the most important prime mover, which is mainly used to drive generators to generate electricity and drive various large machinery. The working principle of the steam turbine is that high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam enters the steam turbine, gradually expands in the steam turbine to do work, drives the steam turbine to rotate and drives the generator to generate electricity. While the steam is expanding and doing work, the temperature and pressure gradually drop, and condensation occurs to produce a large number of extremely small water drople...
