Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam turbine technology, and more specifically to a steam turbine turning gear control system. Background Technology

[0002] The turning gear mechanism of a steam turbine is a device used to continuously rotate the rotor at a certain speed after the turbine is shut down and before it is started, ensuring uniform heating and cooling of the rotor. Turning the rotor before startup can be used to check whether the turbine meets operating conditions, such as whether there is friction between moving and stationary parts, and whether the main shaft bending is normal. After shutdown, engaging the turning gear mechanism can agitate the steam flow within the cylinder, helping to eliminate temperature differences between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder, preventing rotor deformation, and helping to eliminate damage to the bearings from hot journals.

[0003] The existing turning gear mechanism is a product supplied to the main engine manufacturer. The turbine uses low-speed turning gear, with a turning speed of 3 r / min, and has both automatic and manual operation modes. Due to design imperfections, the turbine turning gear control mechanism (see...) Figure 1 The following problems have persisted: 1. The logic for automatically engaging the turning gear under "zero speed judgment" cannot be implemented in the original control diagram, therefore the initial conditions for automatic turning gear engagement are not met; 2. Reliable sequential execution from the KL2 closed loop to the KL3 closed loop cannot be achieved, therefore operators must manually rotate the turning gear mechanism to the meshing position and then directly start the turning gear motor to engage the turning gear, which carries certain risks; 3. The turning gear position switch KL3 is a key component ensuring the normal operation of the turning gear mechanism. Misoperation may cause rubbing between the pinion gear and the turning gear motor gear; failure to operate will cause the turning gear mechanism to disengage; if not handled in time, it may cause the turbine shaft to bend, leading to an irreversible accident. Due to its design flaws, the position switch KL3 frequently malfunctions during turbine shutdown and start-up, often resulting in the turning gear failing to engage or the turning gear motor running idle; 4. During turbine turning, if a turning gear disengagement event occurs, the imperfect automatic turning gear engagement function will prevent the turbine from turning, which, if not detected in time, will cause a serious accident.
