TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of marine steam turbine foot structure, especially a kind of marine steam turbine impact resistance structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The foot is one of important components for fixing steam turbine and public frame. The existing marine steam turbine is mostly fixed using cat paw structure, as shown in Fig. 1. The existing marine steam turbine foot is composed of fastening bolt, limiting block and cushion block. The limiting block is connected with the public frame through bolt, and the cushion block is placed between the limiting block and the public frame for adjustment. The steam turbine foot is connected with the public frame through the limiting block and the cushion block. Such connection mode enables the steam turbine foot to have the ability of thermal expansion along the axial direction of the unit. However, when the structure encounters a large lateral impact, the fracture of the fastening bolt will cause the steam turbine foot to completely lose fixation, resulting in a large displacement of the unit. Figure 1 SUMMARY

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present application is as follows: a marine steam turbine impact resistance structure with damping device, comprising a limiting block, a resistance rubber block and a viscous damper. The limiting block is in overall U-shaped structure. The limiting block is fixed on the public frame through fastening bolt and connected with the steam turbine foot through shear pin. The resistance rubber block is installed between the steam turbine foot and the limiting block. One side of the viscous damper is connected with the steam turbine foot, and the other side is connected with a movable plate.
[0005] Further, the movable plate is shorter than the length of the middle section of the U-shaped structure of the limiting block and connected with the limiting block through key groove structure.
[0006] Further, a slot hole is opened on the limiting block to connect the shear pin, so that the shear pin has a certain thermal expansion direction movement space when the steam turbine foot expands due to heat.
[0007] Further, the resistance rubber block is composed of upper and lower connecting steel plates, high-damping rubber plate and lead core. After the resistance rubber plate is plastically deformed under external impact, the lead core can produce plastic deformation of hysteresis damping, and provide horizontal restoring force through rubber.

[0016] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0017] As shown in the drawings, the embodiment of the present application provides a marine steam turbine impact-resistant structure with damping device. The structure adopts two kinds of impact-resistant components, resistance rubber block 3 and viscous damper 4, to reduce vibration and energy dissipation when the steam turbine is subjected to a large impact. The main structure includes resistance rubber block 3, shear pin 2, limiting block 7, fastening bolt 6 and movable plate 5. Figures 2 to 4 The limiting block 7 is in the form of a U-shaped structure as a whole, wherein the two sides of the limiting block 7 are A-A sectional structures, and the middle of the limiting block 7 is a B-B sectional structure.
[0018]
[0019] A-A section uses resistance rubber block 3 to resist impact energy dissipation. Limiting block 7 is fixed on public rack 8 through fastening bolt 6, limiting block 7 is connected with steam turbine foot 1 through shear pin 2, resistance rubber block 3 is installed between steam turbine foot 1 and limiting block 7. Shear pin 2 is a slot hole corresponding to the hole in limiting block 7, when steam turbine foot 1 expands, shear pin 2 has a certain thermal expansion direction space. Resistance rubber block 3 is composed of upper and lower connecting steel plate, high damping rubber plate and lead core, after the plastic deformation of resistance rubber plate under external impact, lead core can produce hysteresis damping plastic deformation, and provide horizontal restoring force through rubber.
[0020] B-B section uses viscous damper 4 to resist impact energy dissipation. Viscous damper 4 is connected with steam turbine foot 1 on one side and movable plate 5 on the other side. Movable plate 5 is slightly shorter than the length of the middle segment of U-shaped structure of limiting block 7, and is connected with limiting block 7 through key groove structure. Movable plate 5 can move in the thermal expansion direction, so that viscous damper 4 has a certain thermal expansion direction space. Viscous damper 4 is generally composed of cylinder, piston and damping material inside. The piston can reciprocate in the cylinder, the piston has a certain amount of holes, and the cylinder contains viscous damping material. When viscous damper 4 is subjected to rapid impact force, it has a certain rigidity and almost cannot displace. At this time, the cutter bar of viscous damper 4 is pushed to move the piston under the action of external force, and the damping material on both sides of the piston produces a large pressure difference. The damping material passes through the damping hole to generate damping force. The temperature of the silicon oil medium inside the viscous damper 4 rises under the action of external work, achieving the purpose of impact energy dissipation.
[0021] In daily use, the unit foot is fixed through the shear pin and the limiting block, and the limiting block is connected with the public rack through the fastening bolt with greater strength. When the marine steam turbine is impacted, the shear pin is sheared by the impact force, the support is slightly displaced, and the viscous damper acts to absorb the impact generated by the transverse displacement of the steam turbine and convert the related impact into heat energy of the silicon oil medium inside the oil cylinder. After the impact, the unit gradually resets under the action of the horizontal restoring force of the resistance rubber block, and the viscous damper has small rigidity under low speed displacement, which will not produce large resistance. When the unit is maintained, the shear pin is replaced, so that the unit can be restored.
[0022] In use, first, install the steam turbine on the public rack, install the resistance rubber block between the limiting block and the steam turbine foot, install the limiting block and the public rack through the fastening bolt, and then install the shear pin to determine the relative position between the limiting block and the steam turbine foot. Install the movable plate and install the viscous damper between the movable plate and the steam turbine foot, and the installation of the anti-impact structure of the marine steam turbine with damping device is completed.
