Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of large-scale water turbine generator unit reconstruction construction high-end equipment, mainly relates to a water turbine generator unit runner chamber concrete removal annular lifting mechanism and a use method thereof, and is suitable for the removal construction of a water turbine generator unit runner chamber concrete. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the reconstruction of a 170MW unit of a certain large-scale hydropower station, the original runner chamber second-stage concrete needs to be removed, the minimum size of the inner diameter of the runner chamber shell is 11.00 meters, the maximum outer diameter to be reached during the removal is 13.5 meters, and the maximum diameter of the top individual position reaches 14.6 meters. The removal area has a height range of 6.16 meters, and the bottom elevation is 32.8 meters. At present, the removal construction methods commonly used in the industry mainly include manual mechanical methods, such as the use of mechanical equipment such as a pneumatic pick, a rock drill, and a hydraulic splitting machine. However, this method has low efficiency, high risk of open-air operation, and high dust and noise, which poses a risk to occupational health. In the face of large-size runner chamber concrete removal, this method requires a large amount of manpower and a long construction period, and it is difficult to meet the on-site construction needs of large-scale water turbine generator unit reconstruction.

[0003] In view of the problems of manual removal operation, in April 2021, the China Railway Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. published a paper entitled “Design and Construction Technology Research of High-Pressure Water Jet Breaking and Removing Runner Chamber Special Machinery” in the “Construction Technology”. The paper proposes to use high-pressure water jet to break and remove the concrete of the runner chamber according to the structure of the runner chamber, and designs a high-pressure water jet breaking and removing robot to perform the breaking and removing operation of the runner chamber concrete. The high-pressure water jet breaking and removing robot includes a bearing platform, a breaking and removing robot, a lifting and hoisting device, and auxiliary equipment. The bearing platform is connected to the top cover flange surface above the fixed guide vane, and the bearing device has a whole weight. The middle support connecting column of the bearing platform is connected to the lifting platform below, and the high-pressure water jet breaking and removing robot works on the lifting platform. The lifting and hoisting device is placed on the bearing platform to lift the lifting platform and hoist the soil. Other auxiliary equipment includes a high-pressure water jet generating device and a ventilation device, which are also placed on the bearing platform. However, the special machinery has the following problems in the specific use process: first, since the large-scale runner chamber needs to be removed at a high height and has a large diameter, the connecting column is directly arranged at the center of the runner chamber, and the bottom is a cantilever structure, which may sway and cannot guarantee the stability during the operation; second, the high-pressure water jet breaking and removing robot is a relatively independent structure and is supported on the lifting platform, and the position of the robot breaking and removing cannot be accurately controlled during the specific operation. SUMMARY

[0014] The lifting module includes a lifting box, inside which limit guide wheel sets are respectively provided at the four corners of the lifting tower. A reducer is installed on one side of the outside of the lifting box. The input shaft of the reducer is connected to the output shaft of the lifting hydraulic motor. A lifting gear is installed on the output shaft of the reducer. A rack is installed longitudinally on the outside of the lifting tower. The lifting gear meshes with the rack for transmission.

[0015] The method for using the circumferential lifting mechanism for demolishing the concrete runner chamber of a hydroelectric generator set includes the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Install the lower ring track; using the flange face on the foundation ring as a reference, mark the installation position of the support seat of the lower support mechanism downward according to the concrete removal range of the impeller chamber. Weld several support seats in a ring on the inner wall of the tailwater pipe on the lower side of the impeller chamber. Assemble the lower support mechanism on the support seats. Then assemble the arc segments into the lower ring track one by one through the lower support mechanism. The outer plug of the arc segment is inserted into the inner interface of the adjacent arc segment. The two adjacent segments are locked by the support screws. The outer circumference of the lower ring track is installed and connected to the lower support fixing plate of the lower support mechanism.

[0017] Step 2: Install the upper ring track; the number of upper support mechanisms is the same as the number of fixed guide vanes of the unit, the upper support column backs against the fixed guide vanes and is welded to the fixed guide vanes, the lower end of the upper support column is welded to the metal surface of the lower liner of the seat ring, the first connecting rod points to the center of the wheel chamber, the arc section of the upper ring track is connected end to end, adjacent sections are locked with support screws, and the arc sections are assembled into the upper ring track one by one by the upper support mechanism;

[0018] Step 3: Install the lower drive module; ensure that the lower track pulley group is in close contact with the two arc-shaped tracks of the lower ring track from both the top and bottom sides, and that the lower transmission gear meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack of the lower ring track;

[0019] Step 4: Install the lifting tower; install the lifting component frames one by one on the basis of the lower drive module, and use limit pieces to lock the connection between adjacent frames to ensure that the lifting component frames fit tightly and have no lateral displacement, and to ensure smooth connection of the rack and pinion; while installing the lifting tower, connect the rotating shafts to form a drive shaft through spline joints.

[0020] Step 5: Install the lifting module; Before the lifting tower and the upper drive module are closed, install the lifting module, hoist the lifting module and insert it into the lifting tower, adjust the limit piece on one side of the reducer, and push the reducer through the limit piece so that the lifting gear on the output shaft of the reducer meshes with the rack;

[0021] Step 6: Install the upper drive module; ensure that the upper track pulley block is in close contact with the two arc-shaped tracks of the upper ring track from both the top and bottom, and that the upper transmission gear meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack of the upper ring track;

[0022] Step 7: Install the floating assembly; connect the support plate of the floating assembly to the upper drive module, and continue to install the lifting tower. The guide rod and connecting rod at the top of the lifting tower are inserted into the support plate respectively. Then, install springs and nuts on the connecting rods to make the lifting tower and the upper drive module elastically guided and connected.

[0023] Step 8: Hoist the mobile hydraulic station to the designated location and restrict its movement, then connect the hydraulic oil pipes to each hydraulic actuator. The lifting tower rotates in a circle along the circular track, and the lifting module moves up and down along the lifting tower. The mobile hydraulic station is an integrated structure of the hydraulic station and control system.

[0024] Step 9: After the project is completed, before dismantling the equipment, move the lifting module to the middle position of the lifting tower and place it in the middle of the single-section lifting component frame. Then, in sequence, remove the mobile hydraulic station, the upper drive module, and dismantle the lifting tower, lifting module, lower drive module, upper and lower circular tracks and their support components from top to bottom.

[0025] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1) The upper and lower circular tracks, as well as the lifting tower, are all assembled from multiple sections for easy installation. The design of the upper and lower circular tracks and the lifting tower fully accommodates the vertical cylindrical structure of the turbine generator runner, greatly satisfying the requirements for concrete removal. This allows the high-pressure water jet and high-pressure spray gun to reach all 360° removal surfaces of the runner, significantly improving concrete removal efficiency. Based on the structural characteristics of large-diameter turbine generator runners, this equipment, through the high-pressure water jet actuator and high-pressure spray gun installed on the lifting module, enables stable, precise, automatic, and remote removal of concrete from large-diameter turbine generator runners.

[0027] 2) A single hydraulic motor is used to drive both the lower and upper drive boxes simultaneously, making the transmission of the lower and upper drive boxes more synchronized.

[0028] 3) By setting up floating components, the lifting tower can adapt to the height error caused by the inability of the upper and lower circular tracks to be completely parallel, thus improving the compatibility of the entire mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Example 1:

[0051] See Figures 1-10The circumferential lifting mechanism for demolishing the concrete runner chamber of a hydro-generator unit includes an upper annular track 10, a lower annular track 30, a lifting tower 50, a lower drive module 60, an upper drive module 70, and a lifting module 80. The upper annular track 10 is located above the lower annular track 30. The lower drive module 60 and the upper drive module 70 are respectively installed at both ends of the lifting tower 50. The lower drive module 60 is slidably connected to the lower annular track 30, and the upper drive module 70 is slidably connected to the upper annular track 10. The lifting tower 50 can move in a circle along the upper annular track 10 and the lower annular track 30 through the lower drive module 60 and the upper drive module 70. The lifting module 80 is slidably installed on the lifting tower 50. Several upper support mechanisms 20 are installed on the outer circumference of the upper annular track 10, and several lower support mechanisms 40 are installed on the outer circumference of the lower annular track 30. The upper annular track 10, the lower annular track 30, and the lifting tower 50 are all spliced ​​from multiple sections for easy installation. The design of the upper and lower annular tracks and the lifting tower fully adapts to the vertical cylindrical structure of the turbine generator runner, greatly satisfying the requirements for demolishing the concrete in the runner. This allows the high-pressure water jet and high-pressure spray gun to reach all 360° demolition surfaces of the runner, significantly improving concrete demolition efficiency. Based on the structural characteristics of large-diameter turbine generator runners, this equipment utilizes upper and lower annular tracks, a lifting tower, and a lifting module. The lifting module is equipped with a water jet demolition robot, enabling stable, precise, and automatic demolition of the concrete in large-diameter turbine generator runners.

[0052] See Figure 2 The upper annular track 10 and the lower annular track 30 are each composed of multiple arc-shaped segments. Each arc-shaped segment includes two arc-shaped tracks 31 arranged vertically. One end of each arc-shaped track 31 has an inner interface 34, and the other end has an outer plug 35. The inner interface 34 and the outer plug 35 are compatible. An arc-shaped inner rack 33 is arranged laterally between the two arc-shaped tracks 31. Several support members 32 are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped inner rack 33 and connected to the two arc-shaped tracks 31. The structure is simple and easy to install. Preferably, the arc-shaped track 31 is formed by bending a square tube, but a round tube can also be used.

[0053] See Figure 3The upper support mechanism 20 includes an upper support fixing plate 21. A first horizontal connecting rod 22 and a second obliquely upward connecting rod 23 are hinged to the lower end of the upper support fixing plate 21. The ends of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 23 away from the upper support fixing plate 21 are respectively hinged to the upper support column 24. The upper end of the upper support fixing plate 21 is hinged to one end of an upper support short rod 26, and the other end of the upper support short rod 26 is hinged to the second connecting rod 23. The lengths of the first connecting rod 22, the second connecting rod 23, and the upper support short rod 26 are adjustable. The upper support mechanism 20 is connected and fixed to the upper annular track 10 through the upper support fixing plate 21. A stable support is formed through the double-link structure. The adjustable lengths of the first connecting rod 22, the second connecting rod 23, and the upper support short rod 26 facilitate adjustment of the center position and level of the upper annular track 10. Preferably, the first connecting rod 22, the second connecting rod 23, and the upper support short rod 26 are respectively provided with positive and negative thread structures, allowing for length adjustment.

[0054] See Figure 4 The lower support mechanism 40 includes a lower support fixing plate 41. A horizontal third connecting rod 42 and a downwardly angled fourth connecting rod 44 are hinged to the upper end of the lower support fixing plate 41. Support seats 43 are respectively hinged to the ends of the third connecting rod 42 and the fourth connecting rod 44 away from the lower support fixing plate 41. The lower end of the lower support fixing plate 41 is hinged to one end of a lower support short rod 45, and the other end of the lower support short rod 45 is hinged to the fourth connecting rod 44. The lengths of the third connecting rod 42, the fourth connecting rod 44, and the lower support short rod 45 are adjustable. The lower support mechanism 40 is connected and fixed to the lower annular track 30 through the lower support fixing plate 41. The third connecting rod 42 and the fourth connecting rod 44 form a stable support. The adjustable lengths of the third connecting rod 42, the fourth connecting rod 44, and the lower support short rod 45 facilitate adjustment of the center position and horizontality of the lower annular track 30, ensuring that the upper annular track 10 and the lower annular track 30 are parallel and concentric.

[0055] See Figure 5The lower drive module 60 includes a lower drive seat 61, which is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the lifting tower 50. A lower drive box 62 is installed on the side of the lower drive seat 61 near the lifting tower 50. A lower track pulley assembly 63 is installed on the side of the lower drive seat 61 away from the lifting tower 50. A lower transmission gear 64 in the lower drive box 62 extends into the side of the lower drive seat 61 away from the lifting tower 50. The lower track pulley assembly 63 clamps the lower annular track 30 from the upper and lower sides. The lower transmission gear 64 meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack 33 of the lower annular track 30. The upper drive module 70 includes an upper drive base 71, which is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the lifting tower 50. An upper drive box 72 is installed on the side of the upper drive base 71 closest to the lifting tower 50, and an upper track pulley assembly 73 is installed on the side of the upper drive base 71 furthest from the lifting tower 50. An upper transmission gear 74 inside the upper drive box 72 extends into the side of the upper drive base 71 furthest from the lifting tower 50. The upper track pulley assembly 73 clamps the upper annular track 10 from both the upper and lower sides. The upper transmission gear 74 meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack 33 of the upper annular track 10. The lower transmission gear 64 is driven to rotate by the lower drive box 62, and the upper transmission gear 74 is driven to rotate by the upper drive box 72. The lower transmission gear 64 meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack 33 of the lower annular track 30, and the upper transmission gear 74 meshes with the arc-shaped inner rack 33 of the upper annular track 10, thereby causing the lifting tower 50 to rotate in annularly along the inner circumference of the upper annular track 10 and the lower annular track 30.

[0056] The lower drive box 62 and the upper drive box 72 can be driven by independent drivers, for example, hydraulic motors can be installed on the lower drive box 62 and the upper drive box 72 respectively.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, referring to 5 and 6, a single hydraulic motor 75 drives both the lower drive box 62 and the upper drive box 72 simultaneously, making their transmissions more synchronized. Specifically, a hydraulic motor 75 is mounted on the upper side of the upper drive box 72, and a drive shaft 78 is rotatably mounted inside the lifting tower 50. The lower end of the drive shaft 78 is connected to the lower drive box 62, and the upper end is connected to the upper drive box 72 via a spline joint 76. The hydraulic motor 75 is connected to the upper drive box 72, and an encoder 77 is mounted on the end of the central shaft of the upper transmission gear 74. The encoder 77 is used to collect the rotation data of the upper transmission gear 74, thereby calculating the travel distance.

[0058] Further, see Figure 7The lifting tower 50 is assembled from multiple lifting component frames 51. One end of each lifting component frame 51 has a protrusion 52, and the other end has a recess 54, with the protrusion 52 and the recess 54 being compatible. The lifting tower 50 has a limiting hole 53 at one end of the protrusion 52 and a limiting component 55 installed at one end of the recess 54. A support frame 56 is provided inside the lifting component frame 51, and a rotating shaft 57 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 56. When assembling the lifting component frames 51, the limiting component 55 is inserted into the limiting hole 53 to connect and fix adjacent lifting component frames 51. The rotating shafts 57 are connected by a spline joint to form a drive shaft 78. The segmented structure of the lifting component frames 51 and rotating shafts 57 facilitates installation.

[0059] See Figure 8 A floating assembly 90 is installed on the top of the lifting tower 50. The floating assembly 90 includes a guide assembly, an elastic assembly, and a support plate 96. The guide assembly includes multiple guide rods 91 and guide sleeves 92. The lower ends of the guide rods 91 are fixedly installed on the top of the lifting tower 50, and the guide sleeves 92 are installed on the support plate 96. The upper ends of the guide rods 91 slide upward through the support plate 96 and are slidably connected to the guide sleeves 92. The elastic assembly includes a connecting rod 93, a spring 94, and a nut 95. The lower end of the connecting rod 93 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting tower 50, and the upper end slides upward through the support plate 96. The spring 94 is fitted onto the upper side of the connecting rod 93 on the support plate 96, and the nut 95 is screwed onto the top of the connecting rod 93, with the nut 95 abutting against the spring 94. The upper drive module 70 is connected and fixed to the support plate 96. By setting the floating assembly 90, the lifting tower 50 can adapt to the height error caused by the incomplete parallelism between the upper annular track 10 and the lower annular track 30, thus improving the compatibility of the entire mechanism.

[0060] See Figure 9 , 10 The lifting module 80 includes a lifting housing 81. Inside the lifting housing 81, limit guide wheel sets 86 are respectively provided at the four corners of the lifting tower 50. A reducer 82 is installed on one side of the lifting housing 81. The input shaft of the reducer 82 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting hydraulic motor 83. A lifting gear 85 is installed on the output shaft of the reducer 82. A rack 58 is longitudinally installed on the outer side of the lifting tower 50, and the lifting gear 85 meshes with the rack 58 for transmission. The structure is simple and easy to install. Furthermore, the reducer 82 is a worm gear reducer, and there are two reducers 82. The lifting hydraulic motor 83 is connected to the output shaft of one end of one reducer 82 for transmission. A synchronous gear 84 is installed on the other end of this reducer 82. A synchronous gear 84 is also installed on the input shaft of the other reducer.
