Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of gas turbines, the technical field of gas turbine parts and shaft couplings, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive eccentricity-free coupling for a high-speed shaft of a gas turbine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the patent document "Gas turbine eccentricity compensation air float bearing", it is mentioned that the power shaft of a gas turbine rotates at a high speed for a long time, and therefore the concentricity requirement of the downstream shaft connected thereto is much higher than that of ordinary power equipment. A small amount of eccentricity will greatly reduce the fatigue life of the shaft during continuous high-speed rotation. However, eccentricity is inevitable due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances. At present, the problem of eccentricity compensation for high-speed shafts in gas turbines has not been paid enough attention.

[0003] However, in the air float bearing, the eccentricity is partially compensated due to the non-constant force of the shaft and the problem of air pressure fluctuation. The eccentricity value is reduced, but the eccentricity problem cannot be completely overcome. The effect is good when used for positioning gas turbine blades under certain working conditions. However, when the shaft of the gas turbine is connected to the downstream load shaft, the use of multiple air float bearings in parallel will inevitably cause a small amount of eccentricity to change unpredictably and significantly in value. It is difficult to achieve the control effect expected by technicians. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above technical status, the application provides a self-adaptive eccentricity-free coupling for a high-speed shaft of a gas turbine. In operation, the coupling connects two shafts through permanent magnets, and uses the non-rigid connection of magnetic force to self-adaptively adjust the eccentricity of the shaft, thereby solving the problem of reduced fatigue life of the shaft caused by eccentricity. Moreover, since traditional permanent magnet couplings are flexible, the application further provides a new combined structure that couples rigid connection and flexible connection, thereby being able to transmit greater torque.

[0007] In the same plane perpendicular to the axis in the coupling, the permanent magnets of the outer ring cylinder magnet and the permanent magnets of the inner ring cylinder magnet are arranged in a ring shape with a spacing between each other, the N pole and the S pole of each permanent magnet are in the left-right direction, and the adjacent faces between every two adjacent permanent magnets have the same magnetic pole; the magnetic circuit of each ring of permanent magnets arranged in the plane is closed in the annular space containing the ring of permanent magnets.

[0008] The first rigid linkage gear of the outer gear type structure is fixedly arranged on the second linkage shaft, the end cover of the inner gear type structure matched with the first rigid linkage gear is fixedly arranged on the first linkage shaft, the end cover and the first rigid linkage gear form a tooth groove matching, and the gap width between the teeth of the end cover and the teeth of the first rigid linkage gear is smaller than the gap width between the adjacent permanent magnets of the outer ring cylinder magnet and the inner ring cylinder magnet.

The steel ring is non-rotatably disposed inside the first linkage shaft, and the multiple steel blocks are evenly embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the steel ring at intervals. The combined structure of the steel ring and multiple steel blocks forms a tooth groove fit with the second rigid linkage gear, and there is a gap width between the teeth of the second rigid linkage gear and the side of the adjacent steel block. This gap width is the same as the gap width between the teeth of the end cap and the teeth of the first rigid linkage gear and corresponds to the axial position.

7. The adaptive eccentric coupling for high-speed shafts of gas turbines according to claim 5 or 6, further characterized in that, The first linkage shaft consists of an outer shell, a first flange, and an end cap. The outer shell is a cylindrical shell structure with one open end. The outer ring magnet and the inner ring magnet are both housed inside the cylindrical shell structure, and the end cap is fixedly installed at the open end. The first flange is fixedly connected to the non-open end of the outer shell.

8. The adaptive eccentric coupling for high-speed gas turbine shafts according to claim 2, further characterized in that, Nine permanent magnets are embedded on the inner circumference of each outer positioning copper ring, and nine permanent magnets are embedded on the outer circumference of each inner positioning copper ring; the number of outer positioning copper rings and inner positioning copper rings is the same and not less than four.

9. The adaptive eccentric coupling for high-speed shafts of gas turbines according to claim 4, further characterized in that, A bolt hole is provided on the other end face of the main shaft, and the second rigid linkage gear is fixedly installed on the end face by means of a fixing bolt engaging with the bolt hole.

10. The gas turbine high-speed shaft adaptive eccentric coupling according to claim 9, characterized in that, The first rigid linkage gear, the second rigid linkage gear, and the end cover are all made of steel or hard alloy.
