Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-pressure main steam valve technology, particularly to the field of IPC B24B7, and more specifically, to a high-pressure main steam valve sealing surface grinding and repair device and process. Background Technology

[0002] The high-pressure main steam valve is a protective device used by steam turbines to quickly cut off the steam supply and shut down the turbine. Its structure is similar to a stop valve. It is controlled by pressure oil to close and open quickly. However, after long-term use, the end face of the high-pressure main steam valve will wear. When the wear is significant, it needs to be ground and repaired. Since the main valve seat of the high-pressure main steam valve is welded to the valve body, it cannot be removed separately for grinding and repair of the sealing surface. Grinding and repair must be performed on-site inside the valve body.

[0003] The existing end face grinding tools for repairing high-pressure main steam valves typically use a grinding disc to grind and repair the end face of the high-pressure main steam valve. However, due to the varying lengths and heavy weight of high-pressure main steam valves, it is cumbersome for workers to manually adjust the distance between the high-pressure main steam valve and the grinding disc. This makes it difficult to position the valve correctly, and errors are easily generated during grinding, resulting in the end face of the high-pressure main steam valve tilting and rendering it unusable.

[0004] CN202388353U discloses a tool for cleaning oxide scale from the high-pressure main steam valve of a steam turbine unit, including a grinding rod, an extension rod, and a handle. One end of the extension rod is connected to the top of the grinding rod, and the handle is located at the other end of the extension rod. This tool can conveniently clean the oxide scale generated on the high-pressure main steam valve due to high-temperature and high-pressure operation, ensuring the reliable operation of the high-pressure main steam valve. However, this tool has problems with grinding accuracy and uniformity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first aspect of the present invention provides a grinding and repair device for the sealing surface of a high-pressure main steam valve. The grinding and repair device includes a grinding frame, a grinding tool, a force-applying seat, and a fixing component. The grinding and repair device is fixed inside the valve body of the high-pressure main steam valve. The fixing component is fixed to the positioning plate by fastening bolts and threaded bottom holes. The grinding tool is inserted into the grinding tool and fastened by the force-applying seat.

[0006] The high-pressure main steam valve also includes a positioning plate, a valve seat, a sealing surface, and a positioning stop.

[0007] The grinding frame includes a bushing, which is fixedly connected to the positioning plate via a positioning stop.

[0008] The abrasive tool includes self-adhesive sandpaper, a spindle, and a copper sleeve. The self-adhesive sandpaper is bonded to the surface of the copper sleeve, and the copper sleeve is welded to one end of the spindle.

[0009] The force-applying seat includes a force-applying nut, and the grinding wheel is inserted into the grinding wheel and tightened by the force-applying nut of the force-applying seat.

[0010] The other end of the spindle of the grinding tool is fixed in the bushing of the grinding tool.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides a grinding and repair process for the sealing surface of a high-pressure main steam valve, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Clean the positioning plate of the high-pressure main steam valve to ensure that its surface is smooth, clean and free of burrs;

[0013] Step 2: Insert the spindle of the grinding wheel into the bushing of the grinding frame and fix it with the force-applying seat. Manually tighten the force-applying nut to keep the compression spring from being stressed, and obtain the assembly.

[0014] Step 3: Apply red lead powder oil solution to the valve seat of the main steam valve to be ground;

[0015] Step 4: Attach self-adhesive sandpaper to the copper sleeve;

[0016] Step 5: Insert the assembly into the valve body and adjust the position of the positioning plate to ensure it is fully inserted;

[0017] Step 6: Install the four fastening bolts of the fasteners into the threaded bottom holes respectively;

[0018] Step 7: Tighten the tension nut to compress the spring;

[0019] Step 8: Control the rotation speed. Use a torque wrench to rotate the spindle of the mold clockwise 2-4 times to obtain the desired result.

[0020] The four fasteners are arranged in an orthogonal, opposite-side configuration.

[0021] Preferably, the four fasteners are arranged horizontally orthogonally at 45°.

[0022] The applicant's research found that a mesh size of 80-300 mesh for the self-adhesive abrasive can improve its bonding performance and prevent it from slipping off during use. In particular, when the mesh size of the self-adhesive abrasive is 240 mesh and the compression rate of the spring is 40-60%, it can effectively improve the smoothness and uniformity of the sealing surface. This is likely because the specific compression rate maintains appropriate pressure between the self-adhesive abrasive and the sealing surface, allowing the abrasive particles of the self-adhesive abrasive to better repair the sealing surface. However, as friction continues, the thickness of the sealing surface decreases, and the compression rate of the spring gradually increases, which can easily lead to the phenomenon of broken lines on the sealing surface. Further research found that controlling the rotation speed of the first rotation to 10 seconds / revolution, the second rotation to 12 seconds / revolution, and the third rotation to 15 seconds / revolution can effectively solve the problem of broken lines on the sealing surface and improve the smoothness of grinding. This is likely because by continuously increasing the rotation speed, the torque can be stably maintained at 200-400 N·m.

[0023] The mesh size of the self-adhesive sandpaper is 80-300 mesh.

[0024] Preferably, the mesh size of the self-adhesive sandpaper is 80-240 mesh.

[0025] More preferably, the self-adhesive sandpaper has a mesh size of 240.

[0026] The compression rate of the compression spring is 40-60%.

[0027] Preferably, the compression rate of the compression spring is 40-50%.

[0028] More preferably, the compression rate of the compression spring is 45%.

[0029] Preferably, the spindle of the grinding tool is rotated clockwise by 3 revolutions using a torque wrench.

[0030] The rotation speed is 10-15 seconds per revolution.

[0031] Preferably, the rotation speed of the first rotation is 10 seconds per rotation, the rotation speed of the second rotation is 12 seconds per rotation, and the rotation speed of the third rotation is 15 seconds per rotation.

[0032] Beneficial effects

[0033] 1. The mesh size of the self-adhesive sandpaper is 80-300 mesh, which can improve the adhesion performance of the self-adhesive sandpaper and prevent it from slipping off during use.

[0034] 2. The self-adhesive sandpaper has a mesh size of 240 and the compression rate of the compression spring is 40-60%, which can effectively improve the smoothness and uniformity of the sealing surface.

[0035] 3. Controlling the rotation speed to 10 seconds / revolution for the first revolution, 12 seconds / revolution for the second revolution, and 15 seconds / revolution for the third revolution can effectively solve the problem of broken lines on the sealing surface and improve the smoothness of grinding.
