[0002] The steam seal of a steam turbine is a structure arranged between the moving and static parts of the steam turbine to reduce or prevent steam leakage and air leakage from the vacuum side. In order to avoid collision between the moving and static parts of the steam turbine, a proper gap must be left, but the existence of the gap will inevitably cause steam leakage and reduce the efficiency of the steam turbine. In order to solve this contradiction, a sealing device, i.e. the steam seal, is installed at the gap between the moving and static parts of the steam turbine.

[0003] The radial gap is one of the gaps generated by the steam seal structure. The currently commonly used method for detecting the radial gap is to use medical adhesive tape. However, the use of medical adhesive tape has the following problems:

[0005] 2. The medical adhesive tape is a whole device, and the production of a corresponding strip-shaped structure can easily cause uneven thickness, thereby causing measurement errors and affecting the equipment maintenance period.

[0006] 3. The medical adhesive tape has poor adhesion to metal, and the use of medical adhesive tape can easily cause hollowing, overlapping or lifting, which can easily cause measurement errors. SUMMARY

[0033] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the following description.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a device for quickly detecting the steam seal gap of a steam turbine, which is used for detecting the radial gap measurement of a steam turbine of 125MW, 200MW, 300MW, 600MW and 1000MW unit type, the steam seal structure of the steam turbine includes a seal tooth and a rotor, a device for quickly detecting the steam seal gap of a steam turbine, which includes an adhesive layer 1, a strain layer 6, a coating 2 and an adhesive paper 3, wherein:

[0035] The adhesive layer 1 includes a back surface and a front surface, the back surface is used to adhere the coating 2 and is glued to the surface of the steam seal tooth through the coating 2, and the front surface is in contact with the surface of the rotor; the strain layer 6 is wrapped between the back surface of the adhesive layer 1 and the coating 2; and the coating 2 is located between the adhesive layer 1 and the back adhesive paper 3.

[0036] In the embodiment, the strain layer 6 includes a negative surface and a positive surface, the positive surface is attached to the back surface, and the negative surface is attached to the coating 2; the center of the strain layer 6 is collinear with the center of the adhesive layer 1, and the strain layer 6 is covered by the coating 2 around, which can protect the strain layer 6 from being damaged due to friction.

[0037] In the embodiment, a display end 7 is further included, a signal generator (8) is arranged in the coating, the signal generator 8 is electrically connected with the strain layer 6, and the signal generator 8 is wirelessly connected with the display end 7; when measuring the steam seal gap of the whole circle steam seal structure, the mechanical deformation of the strain layer 6 changes the resistance value due to different gaps, so that the mechanical deformation value of the strain layer 6 is quantitatively reflected to the display end 7 through the signal generator 8; the total thickness of the device is reduced by the strain value, so that the steam seal gap is obtained; and the steam seal gap is quantitatively obtained. In order to facilitate the adhesion of the coating 2 to the metal surface, the back adhesive paper 3 is preferably selected from PP back adhesive paper 3, which can effectively protect the coating 2, avoid the oxidation of the coating 2 due to contact with air and contact with dust in the air, and thus ensure the service life of the device.

[0038] In the embodiment, the material of the adhesive layer 1 can be selected from one or more of adhesive tape or rubber.

[0039] In order to ensure that the distances between the positions of the adhesive layer 1 and the surface of the steam seal tooth are equal, the coating 2 needs to be uniformly covered on the back surface of the adhesive layer 1, and the coating 2 is any one of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium citrate, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, Na3PO4, Ce(NO3)3 and NaVO3, because the coating 2 has self-releasing, migration and synergistic repair mechanism, and can restore the thickness itself, so as to avoid the uneven force during pressing with hands, which causes the distances between the positions of the adhesive layer 1 and the surface of the steam seal tooth to be not equal; during the measurement, the local position of the strain layer 6 will produce mechanical deformation, the coating 2 is arranged on the negative surface of the strain layer 6, and through the self-releasing, migration and synergistic repair mechanism of the coating 2, the mechanical deformation of the strain layer 6 can be restored, so as to ensure that the display end 7 displays the periodic diagram in the shape of pulse.

[0040] In order to protect the signal generator 8 from being damaged by the rotation of the rotor, in the embodiment, the signal generator 8 is located on the negative side of the strain layer 6.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4 , the device is integrally bent into a side adhesive edge 4 and an end face adhesive edge 5, the end face adhesive edge 5 is bent into 2 grooves for bonding the steam seal teeth, so that each steam seal tooth in the steam seal structure can be bonded; the side adhesive edge 4 is bonded with the two side faces of the steam seal structure.

[0046] A device for quickly detecting the steam seal gap of a steam turbine is used for the method for detecting the steam seal gap, comprising the following steps:

[0052] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, when the gap value displayed by the display end 7 at each position can be determined to correspond to the corresponding position, red powder is not used, and when red powder is not used, the device can be reused.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, when the device for quickly detecting the steam seal gap of the steam turbine is used to detect steam seal structures with different steam seal gaps, it should be noted that the thickness of the adhesive layer 1 can be changed according to actual needs, thereby changing the overall thickness of the device, and thereby changing the friction marks of the red powder on the front of the adhesive layer 1; in the present embodiment, when the device with a total thickness of 0.75 mm is used to detect steam seal structures with different gaps, the display results of the adhesive layer 1 and the display end 7 are as follows:
