[0023] A third valve body 8 is arranged on the heat supply steam extraction pipe 5, the third valve body 8 is used for adjusting the flow size of steam, and first cut-off valves are arranged on the two sides of the third valve body 8.

[0024] The steam inlet end of the low-pressure cylinder 2 is also connected with the steam outlet end of the medium-pressure cylinder 1 through a bypass pipe 6, a second valve body 7 is arranged on the bypass pipe 6 and used for adjusting the flow size of steam, and second cut-off valves are arranged on the two sides of the second valve body 7.

[0025] In the embodiment, the low-pressure cylinder zero-output heat supply technology is adopted, that is, in the heat supply season, the steam inlet of the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine is completely cut off, only a small flow of steam is additionally connected to cool the low-pressure cylinder, the low-pressure cylinder is operated in the condition of high vacuum and idling, and therefore the heat supply capacity and the peak regulation capacity of the unit are improved.

[0026] In order to meet the safe and stable operation of the unit in the low-pressure cylinder zero-output state, a safety monitoring system can be additionally arranged to guarantee the safety of the blade in the cut-off cylinder state, a bypass pipe 6 is arranged between the medium-pressure cylinder and the low-pressure cylinder, a second valve body 7 is arranged on the bypass pipe 6 and used for adjusting the flow size of steam, second cut-off valves are arranged on the two sides of the second valve body 7, and the second valve body 7 is convenient for maintenance. Therefore, the cooling flow can be introduced into the low-pressure cylinder from the medium-pressure cylinder in the closed state of the first valve body, and the overheat of the low-pressure cylinder is prevented.

[0027] In addition, in actual implementation, the low-pressure cylinder zero-output heat supply technology needs to adopt optimized last-stage and penultimate-stage blades, so that the blades can meet the strength requirement under high temperature and have good water erosion resistance.

[0028] In addition, the possible flutter point of the blade under small flow needs to be accurately analyzed, and attention should be paid to avoiding the flutter point during operation.

[0029] In the embodiment, the jet flow assembly has a first gas inlet end, a second gas inlet end and a mixed gas outlet end, wherein the second gas inlet end is provided with high-temperature and high-pressure steam from an external high-pressure steam device, the first gas inlet end is provided with a low-pressure steam inlet assembly connected with the steam outlet end of the flash tank 9, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam is used to provide power for steam supply of the flash tank 9.

[0030] Therefore, when the high-temperature and high-pressure steam passes through the nozzle in the implementation, the pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy, a low-pressure area is formed behind the nozzle, thereby sucking the low-pressure steam in the gap between the high-pressure steam cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 12, and after mixing in the mixing part 14, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy through the expansion part, and then discharged from the mixed gas outlet end.

[0031] In the embodiment, the low-pressure steam inlet assembly comprises a mounting cylinder 16, a piston seat 20, a plurality of side holes 28 and a communication pipe 30, wherein the mounting cylinder 16 is fixed below the high-pressure steam cylinder 10, the mounting cylinder 16 has a second chamber 18, the top of the second chamber 18 is communicated with the first gas inlet end through the communication pipe 30, the bottom of the second chamber 18 is open for communication with the steam outlet end of the flash tank 9, the first spring 19 is connected with the piston seat 20 in the second chamber 18, the piston seat 20 is sealingly and slidingly arranged in the first chamber 17, a through hole 21 is formed in the middle of the piston seat 20, a plurality of side holes 28 are further arranged on the mounting cylinder 16 and communicated with the first chamber 17, the side holes 28 are gathered on a gathering pipe 29, the gathering pipe 29 is communicated with the communication pipe 30, in the initial stage, the side holes 28 are located above the piston seat 20, when the steam pressure supplied by the flash tank 9 is lower than a threshold value, the piston seat 20 remains below the side holes, and when the steam pressure supplied by the flash tank 9 is higher than the threshold value, the piston seat 20 is driven upward by the air pressure, so that part of the steam can be discharged from part of the side holes 28, and the greater the air pressure, the greater the upward moving distance of the piston seat, and the more side holes that can discharge steam, thereby improving the discharge speed of the steam in the flash tank 9. Such arrangement can cope with the sudden situation that the internal air pressure of the flash tank 9 suddenly increases.

[0032] In addition, the outside of the mounting cylinder 16 is sleeved with a connecting cylinder 15, the inside of the connecting cylinder 15 is symmetrically fixed with a limiting cylinder 24, the limiting cylinder 24 is slidably connected with a sliding rod 23, the right end of the sliding rod 23 is provided with a plug, the plug is connected with the corresponding limiting cylinder through a second spring 25, the plug is powered by a power pipe 26, the power pipe 26 is supplied with liquid by an adaptive piece 27, the adaptive piece 27 is located at the mixed steam outlet end of the jet assembly, the sliding rod 23 is fixed with a stopper 22 for plugging the through hole 21, in the initial stage, the stopper 22 is located at the left side of the through hole 21 and semi-plugs the through hole 21.

[0033] In addition, the adaptive piece 27 comprises a heat-conducting ball 271, the inside gap of the heat-conducting ball 271 is provided with a heat insulation bag 273, the heat insulation bag 273 and the heat-conducting ball 271 are filled with a self-expanding liquid 272, the inside of the heat insulation bag 273 is filled with a driving liquid 274, and the heat insulation bag 273 is also communicated with the power pipe 26.

[0034] The object reaches thermal equilibrium in the instant of contact, that is, the temperature of the two objects is the same, therefore, the surface temperature of the heat-conducting ball is consistent with the steam temperature, in addition, the temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object, for example, when the steam temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, the heat-conducting ball is heated, therefore, the surface temperature of the heat-conducting ball changes with the change of the steam temperature. Therefore, when the output steam temperature is high, the self-expanding liquid 272 is further expanded, so as to drive the heat insulation bag 273 to be further squeezed, and the driving liquid in the heat insulation bag 273 is further introduced into the right limiting cylinder 24 through the power pipe 26, so as to drive the stopper 22 to move leftwards through the sliding rod 23, so that more steam in the flash tank 9 can enter the high-pressure steam cylinder to mix with the high-pressure and high-temperature steam, so that the output steam temperature tends to the threshold temperature.

[0035] When the output steam temperature is low, the expansion degree of the self-expanding liquid 272 decreases, the pressure of the driving liquid introduced into the right limiting cylinder 24 is small, under the action of the second spring, the sliding rod 23 drives the stopper 22 to move rightwards, so that less steam in the flash tank 9 can enter the high-pressure steam cylinder to mix with the high-pressure and high-temperature steam, so that the output steam temperature tends to the threshold temperature.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting cylinder 16 further has a first cavity 17, and the first cavity 17 is fixed with a positioning seat 31 for positioning the communication pipe 30.
