DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The embodiments of the present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0032] Embodiment one

[0033] Referring to Figures 1-4 A water turbine movable guide vane end face sealing system, comprising guide vane end face sealing structures 3, which are respectively installed on a top cover 1 and a bottom ring 2 of a water turbine, and are used to form water sealing with the end face of a movable guide vane 10 when the movable guide vane 10 is closed, the guide vane end face sealing structure 3 comprises a sealing block 31, the top cover 1 and the bottom ring 2 are respectively provided with a sealing groove 11, the sealing block 31 is sealingly installed in the sealing groove 11, the bottom of the sealing groove 11 is provided with a pressure hole 12, the pressure hole 12 is connected with a pressure supply system 8 through a pressure supply pipeline 7, the outer side of the movable guide vane 10 is further provided with a pressure measuring hole 4, a pressure sensor 61 is installed on a pressure measuring pipeline 6 connected with the pressure measuring hole 4, and the pressure supply system 8 controls the opening and closing and pressure relief of the pressure supply pipeline 7 through the pressure sensor 61.

[0034] The pressure measuring hole 4 is provided on the outer side of the movable guide vane 10 on the bottom ring 2, the pressure measuring pipeline 6 connected with the pressure measuring hole 4 is provided with the pressure sensor 61, and the pressure supply system 8 controls the opening and closing and pressure relief of the pressure supply pipeline 7 through the pressure sensor 61. When the movable guide vane 10 is opened, the pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is small, the pressure supply system 8 is not opened, at this time, there is no pressure in the pressure supply pipeline 7, and there is no pressure on the lower side of the sealing block 31; when the movable guide vane 10 is closed, the pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is large, the pressure sensor 61 starts the pressure supply system 8, at this time, the pressure supply pipeline 7 outputs pressure, and there is pressure on the lower side of the sealing block 31, so that the sealing block 31 is expanded or pushed to make the sealing block 31 tightly contact with the end face of the movable guide vane 10, thereby forming water sealing. The water pressure outside the movable guide vane 10 controls the pressure supply system 8, thereby controlling the opening and closing and pressure relief of the pressure supply pipeline 7, so that the pressure supply pipeline 7 can be adaptively started, and the control problem of the pressure supply pipeline 7 and the problem of excessive wear and leakage of the sealing block 31 are solved.

[0035] Referring to Figure 3 The lower side of the sealing block 31 is provided with a pressure cavity 32. The pressure cavity 32 is provided to facilitate the expansion or pushing of the sealing block 31.

[0036] Further, an air bag 5 is installed in the pressure cavity 32, and a pressure charging nozzle of the air bag 5 is connected with the pressure hole 12. By providing the air bag 5, the sealing is better, the pressure output by the pressure supply pipeline 7 is not easy to leak, and when the air bag 5 is inflated, the sealing block 31 is expanded or moved upward to form sealing, when the air bag 5 is relieved, the sealing block 31 is retracted and does not contact with the end of the movable guide vane, thereby reducing friction loss and prolonging the service life of the sealing block 31. When the air bag 5 is not used, the sealing block 31 and the sealing groove 11 form sealing.

[0037] Further, the upper end of the pressure hole 12 is provided with a mounting hole 13, the inflation nozzle of the air bag 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 13, and the outer circumferential wall of the inflation nozzle is fixedly connected with the mounting hole 13 in a sealing manner, so that the installation is simple and convenient.

[0038] Referring to Figure 3 The two sides of the sealing block 31 are further respectively provided with a pressing block 34. The pressing block 34 is provided with a limiting sliding groove 35 at the lower end of the side close to the sealing block 31. The sealing block 31 is provided with a protruding portion 33 at the lower end of the side close to the pressing block 34. The limiting sliding groove 35 of the pressing block 34 cooperates with the protruding portion 33 of the sealing block 31 to limit the sealing block 31 in the sealing groove 11. The pressing block 34 is connected with the top cover 1 or the bottom ring 2 through a bolt 36. The sealing block 31 is limited by the pressing block 34, so that the sealing block 31 is prevented from being taken out under the action of water flow.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment, the top of the limiting sliding groove 35 of the pressing block 34 is spaced apart from the top of the protruding portion 33 of the sealing block 31 by a distance. The protruding portion 33 of the sealing block 31 can slide up and down in the limiting sliding groove 35 by a distance. After the upper end of the sealing block 31 is worn, the sealing block 31 can still move against the end of the movable guide vane, so that the service life of the sealing block 31 is prolonged, and the sealing performance of the sealing block 31 is better.

[0040] Referring to Figure 4 The pressure supply system 8 comprises a first electromagnetic valve 82. The first electromagnetic valve 82 is electrically connected with the pressure sensor 61. The inlet end of the first electromagnetic valve 82 is connected with the air source pipeline 81. The outlet end of the first electromagnetic valve 82 is connected with the pressure supply pipeline 7 through an air supply pipeline 83. The pressure supply pipeline 7 is further provided with a pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71. The pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71 is electrically connected with the pressure sensor 61 or a controller for controlling the opening and closing of the movable guide vane 10.

[0041] According to the relationship between flow rate and pressure, the greater the flow rate, the smaller the pressure, and the smaller the flow rate, the greater the pressure. When the movable guide vane 10 is fully closed, the water flow rate between the guide vanes is zero. At this time, the pressure of the pressure measuring hole 4 on the bottom ring 2 is the maximum, so the pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is the maximum. The pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 and the second electromagnetic valve 92 to open through the controller. The compressed air in the air source pipeline 81 enters the air supply pipeline 83 through the first electromagnetic valve 82, so that the pressure is delivered to the pressure hole 12 through the pressure supply pipeline 7. The sealing block 31 expands or moves to form a water seal against the end surface of the movable guide vane 10. When the movable guide vane 10 is opened, the pressure of the pressure measuring hole 4 on the bottom ring 2 becomes smaller. The pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 and the second electromagnetic valve 92 to close through the controller. The sealing block 31 is not pressurized. When the movable guide vane 10 is opened from the closed state, the pressure in the pressure supply pipeline 7 is relieved through the pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71, which can effectively prevent the sealing block 31 from being worn.

[0042] Further, the supply pressure system 8 is also provided with a hydraulic system 9, the hydraulic system 9 comprises a plug valve 93, the pressure control end of the plug valve 93 is connected with the air supply pipeline 83 through a control pipeline 94, the inlet end of the plug valve 93 is connected with a high-pressure water pipeline 91, the outlet end of the plug valve 93 is connected with the supply pressure pipeline 7 through a hydraulic pipeline 95, the air supply pipeline 83 is provided with a first one-way valve 84, and the hydraulic pipeline 95 is provided with a second one-way valve 96. When the pressure of the air supply pipeline 83 is reduced to a threshold value, the pressure in the control pipeline 94 is reduced, the plug valve 93 controls the high-pressure water pipeline 91 to be connected with the hydraulic pipeline 95, so as to provide standby working pressure for the sealing block 31, and the sealing system is more stable.

[0043] Specifically, when the air source pressure is insufficient or disappears, the pressure of the air supply pipeline 83 is reduced, and the pressure gauge on the air supply pipeline 83 will send an alarm signal. At this time, the pressure of the plug valve 93 disappears, the plug valve 93 is opened, the high-pressure water pipeline 91 is communicated with the hydraulic pipeline 95, and the high-pressure water enters the supply pressure pipeline 7 to provide pressure for the sealing block 31 or the air bag 5. The hydraulic system 9 can be automatically put into operation, and the air supply pipeline 83 is provided with the first one-way valve 84, so as to prevent the high-pressure water in the hydraulic pipeline 95 from returning along the air supply pipeline 83.

[0044] The hydraulic system 9 further comprises a second electromagnetic valve 92, the pressure control end of the second electromagnetic valve 92 is connected with the pressure measuring pipeline 6 through a connecting pipeline 62, the inlet end of the second electromagnetic valve 92 is connected with the high-pressure water pipeline 91, and the outlet end of the second electromagnetic valve 92 is connected with the inlet end pipeline of the plug valve 93. The second electromagnetic valve 92 is arranged to control the on-off of the high-pressure water pipeline 91, and the system is more stable.

[0045] Specifically, when the movable guide vane 10 is fully closed, the pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is the largest, the pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 to be turned on, and the second electromagnetic valve 92 is also turned on. When the air pressure in the air supply pipeline 83 is sufficient, the plug valve 93 is closed under pressure, and only the air source pipeline 81 is connected with the air supply pipeline 83, so as to provide compressed air for the supply pressure pipeline 7; when the air pressure in the air supply pipeline 83 is lower than a threshold value, the pressure of the plug valve 93 disappears, the plug valve 93 is opened, the high-pressure water pipeline 91 is communicated with the hydraulic pipeline 95, and the high-pressure water enters the supply pressure pipeline 7 to provide pressure for the sealing block 31 or the air bag 5.

[0046] When the movable guide vane 10 is fully opened, the pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is reduced, the pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 to be closed and the second electromagnetic valve 92 to be closed.

[0051] When the movable guide vane 10 is in the open state, the water pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is low, the pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 and the second electromagnetic valve 92 to be closed through the controller, the compressed air in the air source pipeline 81 cannot enter the air supply pipeline 83, and the high-pressure water in the high-pressure water pipeline 91 cannot enter the hydraulic pipeline 95.

[0052] When the movable guide vane 10 is in the closed state, the water pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is high, the pressure sensor 61 controls the first electromagnetic valve 82 and the second electromagnetic valve 92 to be opened through the controller, the compressed air in the air source pipeline 81 enters the air supply pipeline 83 through the first electromagnetic valve 82, so as to deliver the pressure to the pressure hole 12 through the pressure supply pipeline 7, and the sealing block 31 slides upward to abut against the end surface of the movable guide vane 10 to form a water seal; wherein the gas pressure in the control pipeline 94 controls the plug-in valve 93 to be closed, and the high-pressure water cannot enter the hydraulic pipeline 95.

[0053] When the movable guide vane 10 is in the closed state, and the pressure of the compressed air in the air supply pipeline 83 is reduced to a threshold value, the gas pressure in the control pipeline 94 is also reduced, the plug-in valve 93 is opened, the high-pressure water enters the hydraulic pipeline 95 through the second electromagnetic valve 92 and the plug-in valve 93, and then enters the pressure supply pipeline 7, so as to deliver the high-pressure water to the pressure hole 12.

[0054] When the movable guide vane 10 is opened from the closed state, when the pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71 is electrically connected with the pressure sensor 61, the water pressure in the pressure measuring pipeline 6 is reduced, the pressure sensor 61 controls the pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71 to be opened through the controller to relieve the pressure of the pressure supply pipeline 7; when the pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71 is electrically connected with the controller for controlling the opening and closing of the movable guide vane 10, the pressure relief electromagnetic valve 71 is controlled to be opened to relieve the pressure of the pressure supply pipeline 7, and the movable guide vane 10 is opened at the same time, which can effectively prevent the sealing block 31 from being worn.
