Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam turbine valve equipment, and in particular to a high-pressure main steam valve of a steam turbine. Background Art

[0002] A steam turbine is a rotary prime mover that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy using steam as a working fluid. It is mainly used to drive a generator to produce electricity. The steam inlet and exhaust of a steam turbine are mainly achieved through the coordinated action of various valves. Among them, the high-pressure main steam valve is a valve that allows the main steam to enter the steam turbine and can be closed quickly. The high-pressure main steam valve on the market is mainly composed of oil motors, valve bodies, main valve discs, pre-start valve discs, valve stems and bushings. The bushing is fixed in the valve body, and the valve stem slides in the bushing hole.

[0003] The existing main steam valve is designed with a filter screen installed to allow steam in and block impurities. However, the filter screen is processed by directly drilling a series of small holes on a round pipe. Due to the small hole diameter and the large number of holes, the filter screen processing cycle is long.

[0004] The main valve disc, pre-start valve disc and valve stem of the existing main steam valve are made of high temperature alloy or heat resistant alloy, and the sliding surface and sealing surface are nitrided to improve the Vickers hardness and wear resistance. The thickness of the nitrided layer is generally ≤0.5mm. As the valve is continuously opened and closed, the sealing surface will be worn, pitted, etched and other defects will occur, and the sealing effect cannot be guaranteed. As a result, the sliding surface is affected by the high temperature steam to produce a large amount of oxide scale, which will cause the valve stem to get stuck and cannot be closed normally. In serious cases, accidents will occur, resulting in the inability to shut down.

[0005] The existing main steam valve design uses a bushing between the valve stem and the valve body for sliding and sealing. The bushing structure is a full-length structure, and the inner hole is sprayed with Stellite alloy to slide with the valve stem. Due to the long valve stem, it is affected by long-term operation, the straightness is out of tolerance, the spray layer is not strong enough to fall off, the oxide scale is serious, and the jamming phenomenon is frequent.

[0006] The valve stem of the existing main steam valve design is required to have an anti-rotation function during the start-stop process. Usually, an anti-rotation pin is designed between the valve stem and the valve disc, and it slides in the anti-rotation keyway set in the inner hole of the valve disc. The valve disc is often switched on and off, and the temperature inside the valve body is high. After long-term operation, the sliding mating surface is severely oxidized, and often jams, causing the pre-start valve to fail. It is necessary to shut down and disassemble regularly to clean the oxide scale and restore the original design gap, which increases the workload. Summary of the invention

[0024] The present invention discloses a high-stability high-pressure main steam valve design structure and control function suitable for reaction steam turbines. The main steam valve is controlled by an oil motor, and the output shaft of the oil motor reciprocates and drives the valve stem to reciprocate, and then drives the main steam valve disc to reciprocate under the guidance of the valve stem sleeve, so as to meet the steam flow control in the main steam valve, and realize the pre-start, opening and closing functions of steam under 470℃ and 49Bar working conditions. The valve stem can meet the reciprocating movement function, and the valve head of the valve stem can be regarded as a pre-start valve head, which cooperates with the movement of the main steam valve disc to realize the pre-start switch function.

[0025] Steam enters the valve body from the steam inlet, is filtered through the filter assembly to prevent impurities in the steam from entering the main steam valve disc, and then is guided out to the main steam regulating valve behind through the steam outlet under the movement of the valve stem. The moisture formed by the temperature change of the steam is guided out of the valve body through the drain port.

[0026] Through the design of the connection structure between the main steam valve disc and the valve stem, when the main steam valve is not started, the valve stem is in the first position, and the airflow at the steam inlet enters the steam storage chamber through the axial through hole of the locking nut and the radial through hole of the valve head, and then meets the airflow entering the steam storage chamber through the steam inlet hole of the main steam valve disc, so as to achieve the air pressure balance between the steam storage chamber and the steam inlet side. The valve stem can slide to the second position driven by the oil motor. During the sliding process of the valve stem, steam enters the steam outlet side from the steam inlet hole of the main steam valve disc through the auxiliary air leakage device, so that the air pressure on the steam inlet side and the steam outlet side is balanced. When the big head end of the valve stem valve head abuts against the end face of the locking nut, the pre-start opening state of the main steam valve is realized, and the valve stem is pushed to drive the main steam valve disc to leave the main steam valve seat, and the steam flows from the steam inlet side through the main steam valve seat to the steam outlet side, so as to realize the start of the main steam valve.

[0027] The invention shortens the processing cycle of the filter screen and improves the working efficiency by optimizing the processing technology of the filter screen.

[0028] The present invention provides guide holes so that the inner filter screen can achieve the function of guiding the filtered steam and the function of supporting the outer filter screen.

[0029] The present invention prevents the filter assembly from rotating through the design of the connection structure between the filter assembly and the valve cover, thereby improving the stability of the filter assembly.

[0030] The present invention limits the contact surface material of the main steam valve disc and the main steam valve seat, thereby improving the hardness and oxidation resistance of the contact surface and realizing the sealing function of the main steam valve.

[0031] The present invention effectively isolates the influence of internal high-temperature steam on the anti-rotation structure by arranging the anti-rotation structure of the valve stem outside the valve body.

[0032] The present invention provides an auxiliary air leakage structure to facilitate the discharge of the airflow inside the steam storage chamber to the steam outlet.

[0033] The design of the valve sleeve structure of the present invention utilizes the sealing structure of the middle part of the graphite gasket assembly to achieve the sealing of the valve stem under high temperature conditions. The valve stem sleeve and the sealing flange are separately installed at both ends to enhance the supporting and guiding effect on the valve stem and avoid the jamming phenomenon of the valve stem caused by long-term high-temperature operation.

[0034] The present invention improves the thermal insulation performance of the valve body by arranging three layers of thermal insulation boards. By arranging the first thermal insulation board, the heat conduction of the steam inside the valve body is effectively isolated, and a first thermal insulation layer is formed; by arranging the second thermal insulation board, the influence of the high temperature of the valve body on the coupling is eliminated, and a second thermal insulation layer is formed; by arranging the third thermal insulation board, the influence of the high temperature of the valve body on the oil motor is effectively avoided, and a third thermal insulation layer is formed. Through the design of the triple thermal insulation layer, the interior of the valve body, the coupling and the oil motor are thermally insulated and protected, and the high-temperature gas inside the valve body is isolated together, thereby reducing the influence of the high temperature on the main steam valve structure and ensuring the normal operation of the main steam valve.

A main steam valve disc 4 is installed on the valve head, and the steam outlet side of the main steam valve disc 4 corresponds to the main steam valve seat 5. The steam outlet 103 and the drain port 104 are arranged on the side of the valve body 1 corresponding to the steam outlet side of the main steam valve seat 5.

Steam passes through the filter assembly 3 to block and filter the impurities in the steam pipeline, and then enters the steam storage chamber 402 from the steam inlet hole 401 of the main steam valve disc 4. This is the first airflow; the steam enters the steam storage chamber 402 from the inner hole of the locking nut 10 and the radial through hole 405 of the valve stem 7. This is the second airflow. The first airflow and the second airflow meet in the steam storage chamber 402, so that the air pressure on the steam inlet side of the valve body 1 and the steam storage chamber 402 is balanced, and the pre-start of the valve stem 7 is realized. At this time, the valve stem 7 slides from the first position to the second position driven by the oil motor 9, and the steam storage chamber 402 is no longer sealed. The steam flows from the steam inlet side to the steam outlet side through the auxiliary air leakage structure 404, so that the air pressure on the steam inlet side and the steam outlet side is balanced, and the pre-start of the main steam valve disc 4 is realized. When the valve stem 7 is in the second position, it contacts the right end surface of the locking nut 10 and pushes the valve stem 7 to the left. The valve stem 7 drives the main steam valve disc 4 to leave the main steam valve seat 5 and move to the left to the full opening stroke 14. The steam enters the steam outlet side from the steam inlet side and the main steam valve seat 5, thereby starting the main steam valve.

[0060] When the steam delivery task of the main steam valve disc 4 is completed, the valve stem 7 moves rightward to the first position under the control of the oil motor 9, and the contact surface of the main steam valve disc 4 contacts the main steam valve seat 5 to achieve the sealing of the main steam valve seat 5, and the connection between the steam storage chamber 402 and the side surface of the large end of the valve head achieves the sealing of the steam storage chamber 402, so that steam cannot enter the steam outlet side to achieve the closure of the high-pressure main steam valve.

[0061] The main steam valve seat 5 is a ring structure, and a boss is preset at the connection between the inside of the valve body 1 and the right end of the filter assembly 3. The main steam valve seat 5 is installed on the boss with an interference fit. The main steam valve seat 5 is made of heat-resistant steel. The contact end faces of the main steam valve seat 5 and the main steam valve disc 4 are both set as Stellite alloy sealing faces. The inner side surface of the main steam valve seat 5 is processed into a streamlined shape to enable the gas to escape quickly to the steam outlet side.

[0062] The valve stem 7, the main steam valve disc 4, the valve stem sleeve 601 and the sealing flange 603 are made of stainless steel. The sliding contact surfaces of the outer cylindrical surface of the valve stem 7 and the inner hole of the main steam valve disc 4, the inner hole of the valve stem sleeve 601 and the inner hole of the sealing flange 603 are all set as Stellite alloy sealing surfaces.

[0063] The connection between the coupling and the oil motor 9 and the valve tail is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the coupling includes an oil motor connecting piece 801, a stop washer 802, a coupling locking piece 803, a coupling sleeve 804 and a coupling core 805.

[0064] The end of the oil motor connector 801 away from the valve tail is connected to the output shaft of the oil motor 9 through threaded cooperation and a stop washer 802. The stop tongues of the stop washer 802 are respectively attached to the outer side surfaces adjacent to the output shaft of the oil motor 9 and the prismatic structure of the oil motor connector 801 to achieve an anti-loosening function.

[0065] The end of the oil motor connecting piece 801 opposite to the valve tail is processed into a square shaft or two square shafts, and the right part of the end of the square shaft or two square shafts is provided with an annular groove converging inwards. The end of the valve tail opposite to the oil motor connecting piece 801 is processed into a square shaft or two square shafts, and the square shafts or two square shafts are equal in size and an annular groove converging inwards is provided on the left part of the end. The square shaft or two square shafts of the oil motor are equal in size to the square shaft or two square shafts of the valve tail, and the annular grooves are also equal in size.

[0066] The coupling core 805 is buckled on the outer side of the end of the oil motor connector 801 and the valve tail. The coupling core 805 is a two-half structure. The inner hole of the coupling core 805 is provided with four square holes or two square holes to achieve the matching installation with the oil motor connector 801 and the end opposite to the valve tail. The coupling core 805 is respectively clamped with the annular grooves on both sides of the axis of the valve stem 7 to achieve the buckling of the coupling core 805.

[0067] The coupling core 805 is provided with annular guide grooves at the outer edges of the left and right end surfaces at both ends of the axis of the valve stem 7. The coupling sleeve 804 enters the outer side of the coupling core 805 along the guide groove at the left end and is sleeved on the outer side of the coupling core 805. The coupling lock piece 803 is clamped in the guide groove at the right end of the coupling core 805. The coupling core 805 is tightened by the dual effects of the coupling sleeve 804 holding and the coupling lock piece 803 pressing. The coupling lock piece 803, the coupling sleeve 804 and the coupling core 805 are penetrated and fixed with screws.

[0068] The left end surface of the coupling sleeve 804 located on one side of the valve stem 7 is fixed with a second heat insulation plate 806 by screws.

[0069] In addition, the coupling may also adopt another structure, in which the coupling is a prismatic structure with threaded holes at both ends, and the left and right ends of the coupling along the axial direction are connected to the oil motor 9 and the valve tail through threaded fitting and stop washers 802 respectively.

[0070] The shell of the oil motor 9 is fixed by the oil motor valve column 901. The oil motor valve column 901 is a hollow cylindrical structure with flanges at both ends. The oil motor valve column 901 and the valve body 1, as well as the oil motor valve column 901 and the oil motor 9 are centered by a stop structure and fixedly connected by bolts. A third heat insulation plate 902 is installed between the oil motor valve column 901 and the oil motor 9.

[0071] In order to monitor the temperature and pressure parameters of the high-pressure main steam valve in real time, a pressure sensor 12 and a temperature sensor 13 are arranged on the top of the outer side of the valve body 1 opposite to the steam inlet. Figure 4As shown, the pressure sensor 12 is electrically connected to the DEH digital electro-hydraulic control system to achieve pressure control, and the temperature sensor 13 is electrically connected to the DCS temperature control system to achieve temperature control, wherein the model of the pressure sensor is MAA20CP202, and the model of the temperature sensor can be selected from the ordinary computer display MAA20CT605, and the circuit connections of the pressure sensor, temperature sensor, DEH digital electro-hydraulic control system and DCS temperature control system all use existing technologies.
