[0024] The technical solutions in the application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0025] In order for the personnel in the technical field to better understand the technical solutions in the application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the application.
[0026] The embodiment of the application proposes a water turbine equipment construction method, as shown in the figure, which comprises the following steps: Figures 1-2
[0027] S1, before lifting the main shaft 1, the water guide bearing 2 and its auxiliary equipment are lifted into the foundation pit, the water guide bearing 2 is installed and its level and center are preliminarily adjusted, the water guide bearing bush is pre-installed, the turning is carried out, after the turning is completed, the center and level of the water guide bearing 2 are finally adjusted, all the water guide bearing bushes are installed, and the gap is adjusted;
[0028] S2, the main shaft 1 support structure is fixedly installed on the water guide bearing 2 support, which is used for guiding and limiting the main shaft 1;
[0029] S3, the main shaft 1 is turned to determine the unit axis;
[0030] S4, the cone cylinder 5 is lifted into the water turbine chamber 9 from the lifting hole, the cone cylinder 5 is placed on the lifting trolley 8 and pulled below the main shaft 1, then the cone cylinder 5 is lifted, the cylinder 6 is lifted into the water turbine chamber 9 from the lifting hole, the cylinder 6 is placed on the lifting trolley 8 and transported below the cone cylinder 5, the cone cylinder 5 is lowered, the cone cylinder 5 and the cylinder 6 are combined together, the main shaft 1 and the cone cylinder 5 are fixedly connected, and the lifting trolley 8 can move horizontally and is also provided with a lifting ring to lift the main shaft 1;
[0031] S5. Lift the nozzle through the lifting hole, support the nozzle on the lifting trolley 8, use the lifting trolley 8 to drag the nozzle to the bottom of the water distribution ring pipe 7, lift the nozzle and fix it to the water distribution ring pipe 7.
[0032] S6. Use a turbine turner tool to hoist the turbine runner to the turbine room 9 and turn it to a horizontal position. Place the runner on the hoisting trolley 8 and drag it below the main shaft 1. Hoist the runner and fix it to the cone 5 and cylinder 6. Then rotate the runner. After the rotation is completed, install the auxiliary equipment.
[0033] The assembly method employs component-by-component hoisting. After hoisting the main shaft 1, components such as the cone 5, cylinder 6, and impeller are installed on the main shaft 1. Both installation and hoisting operations are carried out inside the turbine room 9, significantly reducing the hoisting weight, greatly simplifying construction, and making operation more convenient. The reduced hoisting space in the turbine room 9 enhances the structural stability of the turbine and ensures the safety of the hydropower station. The turbine axis of the main shaft 1 is calibrated by the water guide bearing 2, and the installation position of each component is adjusted based on the axis of the main shaft 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the entire turbine axis, reducing errors, ensuring the normal operation of the unit, and making it more convenient to use.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure S2, the main shaft 1 support structure includes three support frames 3 and a support ring plate 4. The three support frames 3 are distributed in three equal parts around the main shaft 1, and are inclined upwards. Two of the three support frames 3 are first fixedly installed on the water guide bearing 2 bracket. The main shaft 1 is then hoisted in, suspending the main shaft 1 above the support frames 3. The third support frame 3 is then installed, and the support ring plate 4, which cooperates with the main shaft 1, is fixedly installed on the three support frames 3. After adjusting the support ring plate 4 to be horizontal and coaxial with the main shaft 1, the main shaft 1 is placed on the water guide bearing 2, and the elevation, center, and level of the main shaft 1 are adjusted. The three support frames 3 provide stable positioning and support for the main shaft 1, preventing it from tilting and facilitating the rotation of the main shaft 1 to determine its unit axis.
[0035] In S3, manual turning is used. All dial gauges are set to initial readings, the rotor is rotated to each measuring point, and the dial gauge readings are recorded. The runout and zeroing data at each measuring point are measured sequentially. Using the water guide bearing 2 bracket as a reference, the turbine main shaft 1 is adjusted to the center position of the unit. Finally, the main shaft 1 is used as the reference for turning. This improves the accuracy of determining the unit's axis and facilitates the installation of other components.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in step S4, a hand-operated hoist is used to lift the cone 5, suspending it approximately 1.7 meters above the ground to ensure its safety and stability. This facilitates the subsequent installation of the cylinder 6, and the use of a lifting trolley 8 to transport various components, reducing the risks of hoisting and improving safety.
[0037] In S5, before installing the nozzles, a special calibration device is installed on the main shaft 1 flange, the machining amount of each nozzle adjustment flange is measured and calculated, the adjustment flange is post-processed, and the nozzle is fixedly connected with the distribution ring pipe 7 flange by the adjustment flange. The nozzle angle and direction are adjusted by taking the main shaft 1 as a reference, the nozzle and the runner are more reasonably matched, and the design requirements are met.
[0038] In S6, after the runner is disassembled and installed, the runner is reassembled and the coupling bolts are tightened. The runner is first installed on the main shaft 1 and is rotated to determine the final installation position of the runner, the runner is then disassembled, the nozzles are installed according to the design requirements, the nozzles are provided with a larger operation space for installation, the positions of the nozzles and the runner are calibrated, the nozzles and the runner are more reasonably matched, and the rotation of the main shaft 1 is ensured.
[0039] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
