AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively solve the problem of severe vibration of mixed-flow turbine generator units when operating at ultra-low loads. In particular, they cannot meet the requirements of forced air replenishment at the center through natural air replenishment valves. At the same time, compressed air replenishment is energy-intensive and not suitable for long-term operation, which leads to the inability of the unit to operate stably under ultra-low loads, affecting the power grid's power generation indicators and the economic benefits of hydropower plants.
A fully automatic switching center forced air supply device was designed. By monitoring the threshold through a vacuum sensor and combining a push-pull rod and air distribution plate system, it automatically switches between natural air supply and forced air supply modes to ensure that a large amount of air is quickly supplied to eliminate the vacuum zone and avoid vibration at ultra-low load, while maintaining the unit's operating efficiency.
This technology enables the mixed-flow turbine generator unit to operate smoothly under ultra-low loads, eliminates severe vibrations, reduces maintenance costs, improves the economic and social benefits of the hydropower plant, and meets the power grid's requirements for ultra-low load operation of large and medium-sized turbine generator units.

Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This invention is an air replenishment device for automatically switching between natural and forced air replenishment at the center of a mixed-flow turbine. Background technology:
[0002] With the rapid development of wind and solar power, coupled with the decreasing water volume in various river basins, hydro-generator units sometimes fail to reach full load or operate at more than 50% load. Since hydro-generator units are generally designed to operate at a minimum load of 35-45% of their rated load, especially mixed-flow turbines which differ from propeller turbines (where the blade angle can be adjusted for lower loads), while mixed-flow turbines have fixed blades, and are designed to operate at more than 50% of their rated load, inherent vibrations arise in the design, manufacturing processes, and installation of the hydro-generator units. These inherent vibrations are consistent with the operating standards of hydro-generators. When the hydro-generator unit operates below 35-45% load, Karman vortex streets and hydraulic pulsations create a huge vacuum zone. This huge vacuum zone causes severe vibrations in the hydro-generator unit, resulting in significant damage, reduced service life, and increased maintenance frequency and workload. Current technology addresses the issue of the Karman vortex street and hydraulic pulsations that create a large vacuum zone at the center of the mixed-flow runner during ultra-low load hydro-generator units by injecting large amounts of compressed air into the top cover and tailrace cross. This method is not only energy-intensive, but neither of these forced methods can eliminate the severe vibrations generated by the hydro-generator unit during ultra-low load operation. If the problem of severe vibrations during ultra-low load operation is not completely eliminated, large and medium-sized hydro-generator units will be unable to meet the grid's ultra-low load power generation requirements, causing economic losses to hydropower plants. The grid will then allocate these power generation quotas to smaller hydro-generator units, whose ultra-low load power generation quotas are well within the normal load range for large and medium-sized units, and which do not experience severe vibrations. The power generation targets required by the power grid directly impact the economic benefits of hydropower plants. If large and medium-sized hydro-turbine generator units attempt to meet ultra-low load power generation targets without affecting the plant's economic returns, this ultra-low load power generation occurs within the generator units' severe vibration zones, causing significant damage, increased maintenance costs, reduced service life, and safety hazards. Conversely, avoiding ultra-low load operation to ensure safe operation and extend service life significantly reduces the hydropower plant's economic benefits. To eliminate the severe vibration caused by the large vacuum zone during ultra-low load operation, forced air injection at the center is the most effective method. However, because a natural air injection valve is installed on the turbine's central air injection chamber, current technology cannot solve the technical challenge of forcibly injecting a large amount of air into the large vacuum zone through the central air injection pipe. Furthermore, using compressed air for injection results in an extremely heavy workload for large air compressors, which are unsuitable for prolonged operation.When a hydro-generator unit operates at over 50% load, natural air replenishment is sufficient to supply air to the turbine via a natural air supply valve. However, when operating at extremely low loads, natural air replenishment is far from adequate to meet the large air requirements of the resulting vacuum zone. Therefore, a switch from natural air replenishment to forced air replenishment is necessary. Forced air replenishment injects a large amount of air into the vacuum zone to eliminate the severe vibrations generated by the turbine. Currently, the structure and installation method of the natural air supply valve used in hydro-generators cannot meet the requirements of forced air replenishment at the turbine's center. Furthermore, forced air replenishment must also maintain the turbine's operating efficiency; it cannot be used to reduce turbine efficiency. Large and medium-sized mixed-flow hydro-turbine generator units urgently need to solve the problem of severe vibrations during ultra-low load power generation. That is, to prevent severe vibrations from damaging the structure of the hydro-turbine generator unit due to meeting the grid requirements for ultra-low load power generation, and to eliminate the vacuum zone by forcibly replenishing air at the center of the turbine, so that the hydro-turbine generator unit can operate and generate electricity smoothly during ultra-low load power generation, thus ensuring the economic benefits of the hydropower plant. Summary of the Invention:
[0003] The technical solution provided by this invention fully meets the technical requirements of center natural air supply and forced air supply for mixed-flow turbines in the field, enabling the turbine generator set to operate and generate electricity smoothly under ultra-low load. It can not only meet the grid's requirements for the ultra-low load operation and power generation of large and medium-sized turbine generator sets, but also prevent the turbine generator set from generating severe vibrations, thus providing a technical guarantee for improving the economic benefits and social benefits of hydropower plants.This technical solution includes a gas supply chamber with a cover plate and a natural gas supply pipe, a mixing wheel fixed at the lower end of the gas supply chamber, and a central gas supply pipe directly connecting to the vacuum zone within the gas supply chamber. Its main technical features are: a gas supply chamber with a cover plate and a natural gas supply pipe, a mixing wheel fixed at the lower end of the gas supply chamber, a central gas supply pipe directly connecting to the vacuum zone within the gas supply chamber, a support pipe placed on the flange above the gas supply chamber via a flange with evenly distributed flange holes and flange bolt holes at its upper end, a support seat fixed to the center position of the lower end of the support pipe by four stiffeners (i.e., the support pipe is inside the gas supply chamber), a valve cover fixed to the upper end of the valve shaft via bolt holes and a bolt, a bearing seat mounted at the center position on the valve cover, and a thrust bearing, a top shaft with a shaft platform, and a deep groove bearing installed in the bearing seat. A bearing is fixed to the upper end of the bearing seat. After the cover and spring are fitted onto the valve shaft, the valve shaft passes through the guide hole on the support seat. A valve port ring with a valve port is fixed on the valve cover. The valve port ring and the flange at the upper end of the support pipe are fixed to the upper end of the air supply chamber with bolts through the flange hole and flange bolt hole. A rectangular ring with a rectangular groove is installed concentrically with the air supply port under the air supply volute. A floating sealing ring is installed in the rectangular groove. A vacuum sensor is fixed inside the air supply volute through the base, bracket and horizontal plate. The vacuum sensor is connected to the control unit through the control cable. The vacuum sensor monitoring threshold is set in the range of 0.001 to 0.01 MPa. The air supply volute with the air supply port at the bottom and the natural air supply port at the top is fixed concentrically with the valve port in the air supply chamber by 2 to 4 fixing arms. A proximity switch is fixed to the top with brackets and bolts. The proximity switch is connected to the control unit via a control cable. The air inlet of the air supply volute is connected to the wall-mounted pipe. The other end of the wall-mounted pipe is connected to the effective air supply outlet on the air volume regulating pipe with a splitter. The upper end of the vertical plate in the air volume regulating pipe is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the push-pull rod via a connecting seat and a fixing pin. The lower end of the back of the vertical plate is slidably connected to two guide blocks and two guide posts. The two guide posts are fixed inside the air volume regulating pipe. An air distribution plate and an arc plate are fixed to the front of the vertical plate. The push-pull rod is fixed to the air supply chamber with brackets and bolts. The push-pull rod is connected to the control unit via a control cable. The air distribution plate moves up and down in the radial H direction of the impeller, that is, the air distribution plate adjusts the air volume radially with the impeller. The motor... The control cable connects to the control unit. An impeller is located inside the fan casing. Below the fan casing are the fan inlet and fan support. The other end of the airflow regulating pipe connects to the fan outlet. The piston rod passes through the center hole of a cover plate with a flange hole, fixing the hydraulic cylinder to the cover plate. The downward solenoid valve connects to the hydraulic cylinder via an oil pipe and is connected to the control unit via a control cable. The upward solenoid valve connects to the hydraulic cylinder via an oil pipe and is connected to the control unit via a control cable. A sealing cover with a fixing sleeve is fixed to the piston rod using a fixing pin. The distance from the end of the piston rod to the sealing cover is L+A, which is the distance from the sealing cover to the natural air supply port. The cover plate is bolted to the air supply chamber through the flange hole. A signal power cable is connected to the control unit.
[0004] The threshold of the vacuum sensor monitoring the vacuum level at the air inlet is set within the range of 0.001 to 0.01 MPa. Under the condition of ensuring a reasonable vacuum level for the mixed-flow turbine, a large amount of air Q2 is forcibly injected into the mixed-flow runner through the air inlet casing, air inlet chamber, and central air inlet pipe to form a huge vacuum zone. Q2 is the effective forced air injection volume. This air injection volume Q2 meets the monitoring threshold of the vacuum sensor at the air inlet and the working efficiency of the turbine. If Q2 does not meet the monitoring threshold of the vacuum sensor, the control unit adjusts the air volume of Q2 through push-pull rods and vertical plates, arc plates, air distribution plates, and air distribution ports. The excess air volume Q1 is discharged from the air distribution port to ensure that the working efficiency of the mixed-flow turbine is not reduced due to forced air injection. The air supply chamber and its sleeves are fixed, while the air supply cavity and its sleeves are rotating. To prevent the piston rod from rotating with the valve cover during its downward movement to open the valve cover to its maximum stroke, an anti-rotation sleeve consisting of a bearing housing, a thrust bearing, a top shaft with a shaft platform, a deep groove bearing, and a bearing cover with a through hole is installed at the center of the valve cover. The floating sealing ring can float up and down in the rectangular groove of the rectangular ring for sealing. The valve shaft can slide in the guide hole of the support seat. A proximity switch monitors whether the sealing cover is covering the natural air supply port. After the sealing cover is covering the natural air supply port, the control unit starts the motor, which drives the impeller to inject Q2 air volume into the huge vacuum area through the fan casing. The air distribution plate and the arc plate adjust the air volume Q2 radially to ensure that the air velocity remains constant regardless of changes in the Q2 air volume, further meeting the technical requirements of rapid air supply for mixed-flow turbines under ultra-low load conditions. The air-injection volute introduces horizontally supplied air (Q2) into a large vacuum zone through a turbulent flow, passing vertically through the valve port, air-injection chamber, and central air-injection pipe. This efficiently changes the flow direction of the high-speed air intake from horizontal to vertical. When the mixed-flow turbine generator is not in the ultra-low load power generation stage, the piston rod moves upward with the sealing cover, switching to the natural air-injection stage. Atmospheric air is drawn in by the turbine's vacuum-generated stroke, which opens the valve cover, and the generator stops working.
[0005] The technical effect achieved by the technical solution provided by this invention is as follows: When the mixed-flow turbine generator set is operating at 50-100% load, it is in the natural air replenishment stage. At this time, the air supplied by the natural air replenishment pipe replenishes the vacuum zone through the natural air replenishment port, air replenishment port, valve port, air replenishment chamber, and central air replenishment pipe on the air replenishment volute. Under the action of the vacuum degree in the vacuum zone, the valve cover compression spring moves downward, and the air is replenished from the ring formed by the valve port and the valve cover into the mixed-flow runner to form a smaller vacuum zone, reducing turbine vibration and cavitation. The vacuum degree at which the valve cover is sucked open during the natural air replenishment stage is designed and manufactured within the range of 0.001-0.01 MPa. The maximum stroke L of the valve cover is calculated and determined according to technical requirements. The valve cover opening stroke is determined by the vacuum degree of the vacuum zone and the spring parameters. This stage is the natural air replenishment stage of the mixed-flow turbine generator set. When the mixed-flow turbine generator set operates at a load 35-45% below its rated load, it is considered to be operating at ultra-low load. During ultra-low load operation, the unit will experience severe vibrations due to a large vacuum zone. This severe vibration is mainly caused by the large vacuum zone generated by the mixed-flow runner. Natural air replenishment alone is insufficient to eliminate this vacuum zone; a large amount of air must be forcibly injected into the vacuum zone through the central air replenishment pipe to effectively eliminate the severe vibration. This stage is called the forced air replenishment stage. When the mixed-flow turbine generator set enters ultra-low load operation, the control unit opens the downward and upward solenoid valves, injecting high-pressure oil into the hydraulic cylinder through the downward solenoid valve. The piston rod, carrying the sealing cover, moves downward. When the front end of the piston rod presses against the upper end of the top shaft, the top shaft does not rotate, while the deep groove bearing outer sleeve and the thrust bearing lower sleeve rotate, and the top shaft and piston rod remain relatively stationary. At this point, the piston rod continues to move downwards, opening the valve cover to its maximum stroke L. The sealing cover seals the natural air supply port. The proximity switch detects that the sealing cover is in place and sends a signal to the control unit. The control unit closes the downward and upward solenoid valves, and the natural air supply port is sealed. The control unit then starts the motor with the impeller, supplying effective air volume Q2 into the huge vacuum zone through the fan casing and the air volume adjustment pipe. The effective air volume Q2 is supplied into the huge vacuum zone through the air supply port, valve port, air supply chamber, and central pipe. The impeller draws air Q into the fan inlet, and the air distribution plate, arc plate, and air distribution port in the air volume adjustment pipe divide Q into two parts, Q1 and Q2. Q2 is the effective air volume supplied to the vacuum zone. Air volume Q1 is discharged through the air distribution port, and air volume Q2 is controlled by the push-pull rod through the vertical plate, air distribution plate, and arc plate. In this way, the effective air volume can be adjusted while the wind speed remains constant, allowing the supplied air volume to quickly reach the huge vacuum zone. The Q2 air volume is adjusted according to the monitoring threshold set by the vacuum sensor to ensure the working efficiency of the mixed flow turbine. The monitoring threshold set by the vacuum sensor is in the range of 0.001 to 0.01 MPa. The vacuum sensor is connected to the control unit through a control cable. The control unit controls the Q2 air volume by controlling the push-pull rod, which is a servo push-pull rod.If the current vacuum level is lower than the monitoring threshold set by the vacuum sensor, the control unit controls the push-pull rod to move downwards, reducing the airflow of Q2 until the current vacuum level equals the monitoring threshold. Conversely, if the current vacuum level is higher than the monitoring threshold set by the vacuum sensor, the control unit controls the push-pull rod to lift the air distribution plate, increasing the airflow of Q2 until the current vacuum level equals the monitoring threshold. When the unit resumes operating at 50-100% load, the control unit opens the upward and downward solenoid valves, and high-pressure oil is injected into the hydraulic cylinder through the upward solenoid valve. At this time, the piston rod, along with the sealing cover, rises to its original position. Simultaneously, the control unit stops the motor, thus stopping the forced air replenishment stage, and the unit returns to the natural air replenishment stage. The rectangular ring and floating sealing ring improve the sealing performance at the dynamic and static seals, ensuring that the effective airflow Q2 is fully replenished into the vacuum zone. The air replenishment volute effectively changes the horizontally high-speed air replenishment into a vertical direction, replenishing the large vacuum zone. The signal power cable provides the control unit with command signals and power. This technical solution fundamentally solves the technical problem of strong vibration generated by mixed-flow turbine generator sets during ultra-low load power generation.
[0006] The technical solution provided by this invention has an ingenious and concise structure, perfectly solving the problem of automatic switching center forced air replenishment technology in mixed-flow turbine generator sets throughout all stages. It completely eliminates the problem of vibration caused by low loads, reduces unit maintenance costs and workload, and significantly improves the economic and social benefits of hydropower plants. Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution is novel, inventive, and practical, and will be widely used in the field of hydropower generation. Attached image description:
