[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of test equipment for nuclear power plants, specifically relating to a vertical rubber guide bearing comparative test bench device. Background Technology
[0002] A nuclear power plant has eight vertical seawater circulation pumps installed in Units 1 and 2. The rubber guide bearings are vulnerable components and require periodic replacement. To verify that the rubber guide bearings meet the original usage requirements, a large vertical comparative test bench is needed.
[0003] In the past, most test benches were small or horizontal structures, which could not be used for comparative tests, could not meet the operating conditions of large-sized guide bearings and the actual simulation of field use conditions, could not solve the influence of the rotor's own weight on the test results, and could not simulate the external forces actually generated when the equipment was running.

Detailed Implementation
[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] See Figure 1-11 The present application provides a vertical rubber guide bearing comparative test bench device, which includes: a driving part, a transmission part and two test load-bearing parts;
[0045] The drive section includes: a motor 31; the motor 31 drives the two test bearing sections via the transmission section; the test bearing section includes: a test rotor section and a stator section;
[0046] It should be noted that the structures of the two test load-bearing parts are similar. For ease of explanation, only one test load-bearing part will be used as an example here. The structure of the other test load-bearing part is similar and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] The test rotor includes a test spindle 9; the upper shaft head of the test spindle 9 is bolted to the second universal joint coupling 17 to transmit torque; the inner hole of the upper support bushing 14 is fitted into the upper part of the test spindle 9 with clearance fit; the inner hole of the counterweight plate 15 is fitted into the upper part of the test spindle 9 with clearance fit; the upper support bushing 14 is locked by an upper locking nut; the counterweight block 16 is threaded into the threaded hole of the counterweight plate 15 and installed on top of it; the weight of the test rotor is borne by the angular contact ball bearing in the upper rolling bearing body 18;
[0048] The test stator includes a base 1 and a test chamber fixed on the base 1; the test spindle 9 is installed in the test chamber; the bearing body 10 is located above the test spindle 9 and has several through holes drilled on its circumference; the guide bearing block 11 is connected to the bearing body 10 through the through holes.
[0049] The water inlet chamber 12 is bolted and installed above the bearing body 10, and the upper support bearing 13 is installed above the water inlet chamber 12; there are sealing grooves between each component, and O-rings are used for sealing.
[0050] For large-scale operational simulation tests, rotors are generally quite heavy. If a horizontal structure is used to simulate actual operation, eccentric grinding may occur, leading to severe one-sided wear of the rubber guide bearings, which affects the test results. In this embodiment, the two test load-bearing parts are vertically symmetrically arranged, using a vertical test bench. The rotor's weight is parallel to the rubber guide bearings, and the circumferential rotation speed is uniform, avoiding uneven wear caused by the rotor perpendicular to the rubber guide bearings and ensuring accurate test data.
[0051] In one example, the motor 31 is vertically mounted on the motor bracket 30 using a stop-positioning method and is fixed to each other with bolts. The motor bracket 30 is mounted on the base 6 using a stop-positioning method and is fixed to each other with bolts.
[0052] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the transmission part includes: a first transmission shaft 25, a second transmission shaft 23, a pulley support shaft 28, a driving pulley 29, a first driven pulley 24, and a second driven pulley 26;
[0053] The motor 31 shaft is inserted into the inner hole of the drive pulley 29 with a clearance fit and connected by a key. The rotation of the motor 31 shaft drives the drive pulley 29 to rotate. The drive pulley 29 is connected to the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 via two belts. The rotation of the drive pulley 29 drives the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 to rotate simultaneously. Tensioners are installed on both sides to adjust the belt tension. The first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 have different diameters than the drive pulley 29.
[0054] The upper end of the pulley support shaft 28 is inserted into the inner hole of the drive pulley 29 with a clearance fit and connected by a key. The rotation of the drive pulley 29 drives the pulley support shaft 28 to rotate simultaneously. The lower end of the pulley support shaft 28 is installed into the inner hole of a deep groove ball bearing, and the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing is installed into the inner hole of the pulley support bearing body 27 with an interference fit, thereby supporting the drive pulley 29. The pulley support bearing body 27 is connected to the base 6 by bolts and installed on the top of the base 6 plate.
[0055] The shaft ends of the first drive shaft 25 and the second drive shaft 23 are inserted into the inner holes of the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26. The inner holes of the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 have a tapered sleeve tensioning structure. By tightening the bolts on the end face of the tapered sleeve, a tensioning force is generated. The tensioning force connects them to each other, thereby transmitting torsional torque.
[0056] The first drive shaft 25 is installed into the inner hole of the first spacer sleeve 19 with a clearance fit. The first spacer sleeve 19 is located between each pair of angular contact ball bearings, which controls the spacing and supports the weight of the rolling bearings. The first drive shaft 25 is also installed into the inner hole of a pair of angular contact ball bearings with an interference fit. Tightening the first locking nut can fix the inner ring of the first spacer sleeve and the inner ring of the pair of angular contact bearings to the first drive shaft 25.
[0057] The second drive shaft 23 is installed into the inner hole of the second spacer sleeve 20 with a clearance fit. The second spacer sleeve 20 is located between each pair of angular contact ball bearings, which controls the spacing and supports the weight of the rolling bearings. The second drive shaft 23 is also installed into the inner hole of a pair of angular contact ball bearings with an interference fit. Tightening the lock nut 22 can fix the inner ring of the second spacer sleeve 20 and the inner ring of the pair of angular contact bearings to the second drive shaft 23.
[0058] The first universal joint coupling is connected to the first drive shaft 25 by bolts, and the second universal joint coupling 17 is connected to the second drive shaft 23 by bolts. The first universal joint coupling and the second universal joint coupling 17 are cross shaft structures.
[0059] In one example, the driving pulley 29, the first driven pulley 24, and the second driven pulley 26 have a sawtooth structure.
[0060] In some possible implementations of this application, a pair of angular contact ball bearing outer rings are interference-fitted into the upper rolling bearing body 18; a first spacer sleeve 19 is installed between the two angular contact bearings, contacting the bearing outer rings and serving to support and adjust the spacing; the bolts on the upper bearing cap 21 are tightened, locking the angular contact bearing outer rings into the inner hole of the upper rolling bearing body 18; the upper rolling bearing body 18 is bolted to the upper test support 5, and the upper test support 5 is bolted to the base 6 below.
[0061] In another example, the test chamber includes: a lower test chamber 2, a middle test chamber 3, and an upper test chamber 4;
[0062] The lower test chamber 2 is connected to the upper part of the mounting base 1 using a stop-and-position bolt; the middle test chamber 3 is connected to the lower test chamber 2 using a stop-and-position bolt and installed above the lower test chamber 2; the upper test chamber 4 is connected to the middle test chamber 3 using a stop-and-position bolt and installed above the middle test chamber 3; the lower bearing support 7 is installed above the lower test chamber 2; the lower guide bearing 8 is installed above the lower bearing support 7; the lower part of the test spindle 9 is inserted into the inner hole of the lower guide bearing 8.
[0063] As an example, the outer ring of the guide bearing block 11 is made of steel plate, and the inner ring is made of rubber. The rubber is vulcanized onto the steel plate through a vulcanization process, and there are threaded holes on the outer side of the steel plate.
[0064] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the device further includes: a water tank;
[0065] The simulated seawater in the water tank is lifted by a submersible pump, and the first branch 1a and the second branch 1b are connected to the two water inlet chambers 12 at the same time through the main pipeline. The simulated seawater returns to the water tank through the return water pipeline of the upper support bearing 13 and the lower test chamber 2.
[0066] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the counterweight disk 15 is drilled with multiple threaded holes along the circumferential direction and is connected to several counterweight blocks 16 through threads. By increasing or decreasing the number of counterweight blocks 16, the magnitude of the centrifugal force generated when the rotor is running is changed, thereby realizing the variable loading of external load on the guide bearing block 11.
[0067] The following is a detailed explanation of a vertical rubber guide bearing comparative test bench device provided in this application embodiment, using a specific example.
[0068] The vertical rubber guide bearing comparative test bench device provided in this application includes: a driving part, a transmission part, a test bearing part, a loading part, and an auxiliary part.
[0069] Drive section: Motor 31 is positioned by a stop and is vertically mounted on top of motor bracket 30 and fixed together with bolts. Motor bracket 30 is positioned by a stop and is mounted on top of base 6 and fixed together with bolts.
[0070] Transmission components:
[0071] The motor shaft 31 is inserted into the inner hole of the drive pulley 29 with a clearance fit and connected by a key. The rotation of the motor shaft drives the drive pulley 29 to rotate. The drive pulley 29 is connected to the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 via two belts. The rotation of the drive pulley 29 simultaneously drives the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 to rotate. Tensioners are installed on both sides to adjust the belt tension. The first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 have different diameters from the drive pulley 29, with a diameter ratio of 1:2, serving as a speed-changing transmission. The synchronous pulley has a sawtooth structure to avoid the slippage problem of ordinary pulleys.
[0072] The upper end of the pulley support shaft 28 is inserted into the inner hole of the drive pulley 29 with a clearance fit and connected by a key. The rotation of the drive pulley 29 drives the pulley support shaft 28 to rotate simultaneously. The lower end of the pulley support shaft 28 is installed into the inner hole of a deep groove ball bearing, and the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing is installed into the inner hole of the pulley support bearing body 27 with an interference fit, thus supporting the drive pulley 29. The pulley support bearing body 27 is connected to the base 6 by bolts and installed above the base 6 plate.
[0073] The first drive shaft 25 and the second drive shaft 23 are inserted into the inner holes of the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26, respectively. The inner holes of the first driven pulley 24 and the second driven pulley 26 have a tapered sleeve tensioning structure. By tightening the bolts on the end faces of the tapered sleeves, tension is generated, and the pulleys are connected through this tension to transmit torsional torque. The second drive shaft 23 is installed into the inner hole of the second spacer sleeve 20 with a clearance fit. The second spacer sleeve 20 is located between each pair of angular contact ball bearings, controlling the spacing and supporting the weight of the rolling bearings. The second drive shaft 23 is also installed into the inner holes of a pair of angular contact ball bearings with an interference fit. Tightening the lock nut 22 fixes the inner ring of the second spacer sleeve 20 and the inner rings of the pair of angular contact bearings to the second drive shaft 23. The structure of the first drive shaft 25 on the right side is the same and will not be described further here.
[0074] A pair of angular contact ball bearing outer rings are interference-fitted into the upper rolling bearing housing 18. A first spacer sleeve 19 is installed between the two angular contact bearings, contacting the bearing outer rings and providing support for adjusting the spacing. Tightening the bolts on the upper bearing cap 21 locks the angular contact bearing outer rings into position within the inner bore of the upper rolling bearing housing 18. After the above modules are installed, the upper rolling bearing housing 18 is bolted onto the upper test support 5, which is then bolted to the base 6 below.
[0075] Universal joint coupling 17 is connected to the first drive shaft 25 and the second drive shaft 23 by bolts. Universal joint coupling 17 has a cross shaft structure and is a flexible connection, which can reduce the tilt angle caused by the unbalanced loading device at the bottom and reduce the shear force on each drive shaft.
[0076] Test load-bearing section: includes the test rotor section and stator section.
[0077] In the rotor section, the upper shaft head of the test spindle 9 is bolted to the universal joint coupling 17, simultaneously transmitting torque. The inner hole of the upper support bushing 14 is fitted into the upper part of the test spindle 9 with a clearance fit, as is the inner hole of the counterweight disc 15. The upper support bushing 14 is secured above the upper support bushing 14 with an upper locking nut. The counterweight block 16 is threaded into the threaded hole of the counterweight disc 15 and installed above it. Rotation of the test spindle 9 drives the two components and the counterweight block 16 to rotate. During assembly, a 2mm axial clearance is maintained between the test spindle 9 and the lower guide bearing 8. The entire rotor weight is borne by the angular contact ball bearing in the upper rolling bearing housing 18.
[0078] The stator section of the test unit consists of: a base 1 and a lower test chamber 2, positioned by a stop and bolted together, with the lower test chamber 2 mounted on top of the base 1; a middle test chamber 3 and a middle test chamber 3, positioned by a stop and bolted together, mounted on top of the middle test chamber 2; and an upper test chamber 4 and a middle test chamber 3, positioned by a stop and bolted together, mounted on top of the upper test chamber 4. A lower bearing support 7 and a lower test chamber 2, positioned by a stop and bolted together, are mounted on top of the lower test chamber 2. A lower guide bearing 8 and a lower bearing support 7, positioned by a stop and bolted together, are mounted on top of the lower guide bearing 8. The lower part of the test spindle 9 is fitted into the inner hole of the lower guide bearing 8, which limits the radial wobble of the rotor.
[0079] There are six guide bearing blocks 11 in total. The outer ring is made of steel plate, and the inner ring is made of rubber. The rubber is vulcanized onto the steel plate through a vulcanization process. The outer side of the steel plate has threaded holes. The bearing body 10 has a split structure, consisting of two halves connected by bolts and locating pins. When assembled, it forms a single unit. Several through holes are drilled on the circumference of the bearing body 10. The guide bearing blocks 11 are bolted to the bearing body 10 through the through holes drilled on the circumference and to the threaded holes on the outer side of its own steel plate.
[0080] The bearing housing 10 is positioned with a stop and bolted to the intermediate test chamber 3, and is installed inside it. The water inlet chamber 12 is bolted and installed above the bearing housing 10. The upper support bearing 13 is positioned with a stop and bolted to the water inlet chamber 12, and is installed above the water inlet chamber 12. Each component has a sealing groove, sealed with O-rings. The stator and rotor sections form a circulating water chamber. Simulated seawater in the water tank is pumped in by a submersible pump, circulated through the water inlet chamber 12, and discharged through the lower test chamber 2 and the upper support bearing 13, returning to the water tank through the pipeline system, thereby achieving cooling and lubrication of each guide bearing.
[0081] Loading section: The counterweight disc 15 has threaded holes drilled along its circumference and is connected to several counterweight blocks 16 via threads. By increasing or decreasing the number of counterweight blocks 16, the magnitude of the centrifugal force generated during rotor operation is changed, thereby achieving variable loading of the external load on the guide bearing block 11. The external load on the guide bearing block 11 during actual operation of the seawater circulating pump is simulated, and the degree of bearing wear under different external loads is tested after long-term operation.
[0082] The base 1, lower test chamber 2, middle test chamber 3, upper test chamber 4, upper test support 5, and foundation base 6 are sequentially positioned using stop joints and connected by bolts.
[0083] Auxiliary section: A submersible pump lifts the simulated seawater from the tank, which is then branched into two main pipelines, 1a and 1b, which simultaneously connect to the two inlet chambers 12. The simulated seawater returns to the tank via the upper support bearing 13 and the return water pipelines (i.e., 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b in the diagram) of the lower test chamber 2. The piping system is equipped with monitoring components such as flow meters, valve flow indicators, thermometers, and vibration measuring points to achieve real-time monitoring of noise, temperature, and vibration of the test system, ensuring stable operation of the device.
[0084] In practical implementation, motor 31 can be used as the drive device for the tile wear test apparatus. The motor power is 110KW, the speed is 600r / min, and it adopts a variable frequency motor with stable output. All equipment is installed in the base 1, which facilitates the assembly accuracy and hoisting of the equipment. The common base design and common top plate design ensure the overall alignment of the upper and lower rotors and ensure stable operation over a long period of time.
[0085] It should be noted that traditional test benches and transmission mechanisms mostly use rigid connections when performing external load tests. The application of external loads forces the already properly aligned rotor to shift position, causing wear on supporting components over time, ultimately interrupting the test. This embodiment uses a universal joint coupling 17 and a disc-type external load loading device, namely a counterweight disc 15 and counterweight blocks 16, to achieve a flexible connection, avoiding severe damage to the supporting components caused by rigid connections during prolonged operation. Furthermore, the magnitude of the external load can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number and position of the counterweight blocks 16.
[0086] Previously, test benches were single-unit test benches, allowing only one set of rubber guide bearings to be tested at a time. This application's embodiment features a dual-unit structure, with one driving pulley 29 simultaneously driving the transmission shaft 23, the synchronous pulley including the belt-driven first driving pulley 24, the first transmission shaft 25, the synchronous pulley including the belt-driven second driving pulley 26, and the pulley support bearing housing 27. Therefore, it can simultaneously drive two sets of main shaft rotors 9 to conduct wear tests, making the comparative test results more accurate.
[0087] Because the test bench needs to operate for extended periods, the guide bearing and bushing will rub against each other for a long time, generating a large amount of heat that cannot be dissipated. This affects the actual wear condition of the guide bearing after the test. Previous test benches were designed without a cooling water chamber, making continuous operation for extended periods impossible. This application's embodiment features a separately designed cooling water chamber, using flowing water to carry away the heat generated during prolonged operation and cool the device. This allows for continuous operation testing for at least 6 months, ensuring accurate detection of wear conditions after the test.
[0088] The following example illustrates in detail the specific usage of a vertical rubber guide bearing comparative test bench device provided in this application.
