Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of gas turbine compressor blade cleaning design, specifically relating to a gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure and method. Background Technology

[0002] The intake air of a gas turbine typically contains a large number of particles, mainly dust, soot, water droplets, hydrocarbon aerosols, pollen, and salt. These particles can adhere to the compressor surface, especially the compressor blades, which can seriously affect the compressor's performance and lead to a decline in the performance of the gas turbine. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the compressor regularly.

[0003] Currently, compressor cleaning is mostly done offline, requiring the gas turbine to be shut down and cooled to a safe temperature. This process is lengthy, and the gas turbine cannot operate during cleaning, affecting its efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning nozzles are typically installed through stencil holes at the front of the compressor casing to spray cleaning fluid into the casing. This method is only effective for cleaning the front-stage blades, with limited cleaning effect on the rear-stage blades. Additionally, the limited size of the stencil holes restricts the spraying capacity and angle of the cleaning nozzles, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect. Moreover, the cleaning nozzles must be removed after cleaning, making the process cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0004] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a structure and method for cleaning gas turbine compressor blades, so as to overcome or mitigate at least one of the known technical defects.

[0034] The second slider is set in the second slide groove and locked in the second slot. Pushing the second slider can cause the second locking pin to slide against the elastic force of the second spring, so that the second locking pin retracts into the second inward positioning groove. At this time, it can push the rectangular cover plate to flip, so that the side with the online cleaning nozzle or offline cleaning nozzle is flipped to the inside.

[0075] This application provides a gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0076] A rectangular support frame 1 is connected to the outside of the compressor casing 2 and is arranged along the axial direction of the gas turbine. A cleaning port communicating with the inner side of the rectangular support frame 1 is opened on the compressor casing 2. The rear edge of the rectangular support frame 1 has a first inward positioning groove, the outer wall has a first sliding groove communicating with the first inward positioning groove, and the two side edges have support holes.

[0077] A rectangular flip frame 3 is set inside the rectangular support frame 1. It has a mounting hole and a first outward locking groove on the rear edge, and support protrusions on the outer sides of both sides. The two support protrusions are inserted into the support holes, and a torsion spring 4 is set between them.

[0078] Pipe connector 5 is connected in the mounting hole and can be connected to the cleaning fluid tank through a pipeline;

[0079] A rectangular cover plate 6 is set inside the rectangular flip frame 3. It is hollow inside and has multiple cleaning spray holes on its inner wall. It has a mounting pipe head on its rear edge. The mounting pipe head is connected to the mounting hole.

[0080] The first spring 7 is disposed in the first inward positioning groove;

[0081] The first locking pin 8 is disposed in the first inward positioning groove and has a first retaining groove on its side wall. Under the elastic force of the first spring 7, it extends out from the first inward positioning groove and inserts into the first outward locking groove. Figure 2 As shown, the inner sides of the rectangular flip frame 3 and the rectangular cover plate 6 are flush with the inner side of the compressor casing 2, and the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is in an online cleaning state.

[0082] The first slider 9 is set in the first slide groove and locked in the first slot. Pushing the first slider 9 can drive the first locking pin 8 to slide against the elastic force of the first spring 7, so that the first locking pin 8 retracts back into the first inward positioning groove. The rectangular flipping frame 3 together with the rectangular cover plate 6 flips inward towards the compressor casing 2 under the torsional force of the torsion spring 4. The cleaning nozzle faces backward toward the blade. The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is in the offline cleaning state. At this time, the first slider 9 is released, and the first locking pin 8 extends out from the first inward positioning groove under the elastic force of the first spring 7.

[0083] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments is designed with two working modes: online cleaning and offline cleaning. These correspond to two scenarios: online cleaning and offline cleaning of the compressor blades. When cleaning the compressor blades offline, the gas turbine needs to be shut down, cooled to below a safe temperature, and cold-run with a starter. This operation is complex, time-consuming, and the gas turbine cannot operate during this period, affecting its efficiency. In contrast, during online cleaning, the gas turbine can operate normally without affecting its use. Therefore, using the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments to clean the compressor blades allows for routine online cleaning and periodic offline cleaning. Offline cleaning can be used only when the gas turbine's performance is severely degraded due to serious compressor blade contamination. Online cleaning ensures the gas turbine maintains high performance over a long period, reducing the frequency of offline cleaning and guaranteeing the gas turbine's efficiency.

[0084] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments allows cleaning fluid to be introduced into the rectangular cover plate 6 through the pipe joint 5 during online cleaning. The cleaning fluid can then be sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through cleaning nozzles, where it is atomized and mixed with the compressor intake airflow to sequentially flush each stage of the compressor blades, removing contaminants from the surface of each stage. After cleaning is completed, the introduction of cleaning fluid into the rectangular cover plate 6 through the pipe joint 5 is stopped. During online cleaning, the inner side of the rectangular flip frame 3 and the rectangular cover plate 6 is flush with the inner side of the compressor casing 2, which will not cause serious interference to the airflow and can ensure the performance of the gas turbine.

[0085] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments, when in offline cleaning mode, allows cleaning fluid to be introduced into the rectangular cover plate 6 through the pipe joint 5. The cleaning fluid can then be sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through cleaning nozzles, thereby sequentially rinsing each stage of the compressor blades and removing dirt from the surface of each stage. The resulting wastewater can be discharged from the drain hole opened on the compressor casing. After cleaning is completed, the drain hole is sealed with a plug to stop the introduction of cleaning fluid into the rectangular cover plate 6 through the pipe joint 5, and the first slider 9 can be pushed again to carry... The first locking pin 8 slides against the elastic force of the first spring 7, causing it to retract into the first inward positioning groove. Simultaneously, the rectangular flipping frame 3 is pressed, causing the rectangular cover plate 6 to overcome the torsional force of the torsion spring 4 and flip outwards towards the compressor casing 2, making the inner sides of the rectangular flipping frame 3 and the rectangular cover plate 6 flush with the inner side of the compressor casing 2. Then, the first slider 9 is released, allowing the first locking pin 8 to extend from the first inward positioning groove and insert into the first outward locking groove under the elastic force of the first spring 7, maintaining the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure in the online cleaning state. In the offline cleaning state, the cleaning nozzles on the rectangular cover plate 6 face backwards towards the blades, allowing cleaning fluid to be sprayed onto the blades over a wide radial range, achieving deep cleaning of the blades.

[0086] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments allows for offline cleaning of the blades. When the blades are cleaned offline, the rectangular flip frame 3 and the rectangular cover plate 6 flip inward toward the compressor casing 2, exposing the cleaning port on the compressor casing 2. The compressor can be inspected through this cleaning port without the need for additional inspection holes on the compressor casing 2. After the blade cleaning is completed, the components do not need to be disassembled; it is only necessary to restore the system to the online cleaning state, making it convenient to use.

[0087] To facilitate disassembly and assembly of the structure, the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments can be further designed as a split structure for the rectangular support frame 1 and the rectangular flip frame 2, or as a detachable structure on one side edge, according to actual needs. Further details will not be provided here.

[0088] In the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments, there are two sets of the first spring 7 and its corresponding first locking pin 8 and first slider 9, which are distributed on both sides of the pipe joint 5.

[0089] In the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure disclosed in the above embodiments, the rectangular support frame 1 has outward protrusions surrounding the support holes on both sides of its edges;

[0090] Two supporting protrusions extend outwards to stop the movement.

[0091] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure also includes:

[0092] Two end caps 20 are threaded onto two outward protrusions, which have inward stop protrusions. When the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is in the offline cleaning state, the two outward stop protrusions abut against the inward stop protrusions, so that the rectangular flipping frame 3 and the rectangular cover plate 6 are on the radial section of the gas turbine, preventing over-flipping.

[0093] Considering that when cleaning compressor blades online, the cleaning fluid needs to be atomized inside the compressor casing 2, and it is not advisable to spray a large amount of cleaning fluid into the compressor casing 2, while when cleaning compressor blades offline, a large amount of cleaning fluid needs to be sprayed into the compressor casing 2 to achieve deep cleaning of the blades, the cleaning nozzles on the rectangular cover plate 6 and their matching relationship with the rectangular cover plate 6 were further designed, as shown in the following Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

[0094] Example 1:

[0095] The rectangular flip frame 3 has a flip positioning hole on its front edge;

[0096] The rectangular cover plate 6 has a flip-positioning protrusion on its front edge. The flip-positioning protrusion is inserted into the flip-positioning hole and is coaxial with the mounting tube head. The rectangular cover plate 6 can flip within the rectangular flip frame 3.

[0097] The rectangular cover plate 6 has multiple online cleaning nozzles on one side wall and multiple offline cleaning nozzles on the other side wall, wherein the size of the online cleaning nozzles is smaller than that of the offline cleaning nozzles;

[0098] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure also includes:

[0099] The inner partition 10 is provided inside the rectangular cover plate 6 and protrudes into the pipe joint 5, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the internal space of the rectangular cover plate 6 is divided into an online cleaning chamber and an offline cleaning chamber. The online cleaning chamber is connected to each online cleaning nozzle, and the offline cleaning chamber is connected to each offline cleaning nozzle.

[0100] An inward baffle 11 is installed inside the pipe joint 5 to block part of the flow area of ​​the pipe joint 5, such as... Figure 6 As shown;

[0101] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is located at:

[0102] In the online cleaning state, the side of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the online cleaning nozzle flips inward, and the portion of the inward baffle 11 and the inner partition 10 protruding into the pipe joint 5 contacts and seals the offline cleaning chamber. At this time, the cleaning fluid introduced into the rectangular cover plate 6 from the pipe joint 5 flows into the online cleaning chamber and is then sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through the online cleaning nozzle. It is atomized and mixed with the compressor intake airflow, sequentially rinsing each stage of the compressor blades and removing dirt from the surface of each stage of the blades. Figure 3 As shown, due to the small size of the online cleaning nozzle, the amount of cleaning fluid injected into the compressor casing 2 can be controlled to be small, which facilitates atomization in the compressor casing 2.

[0103] In offline cleaning mode, the side of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the offline cleaning nozzle flips inward, and the portion of the inward baffle 11 and the inner partition 10 protruding into the pipe joint 5 contacts and seals the online cleaning chamber. At this time, the cleaning fluid introduced into the rectangular cover plate 6 from the pipe joint 5 flows into the offline cleaning chamber and is then sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through the offline cleaning nozzle, thereby sequentially flushing the compressor blades at each stage to remove dirt from the surface of each stage of the blades. Figure 4 As shown, due to the large size of the offline cleaning nozzle, a large amount of cleaning fluid can be controlled to be injected into the compressor casing 2, so as to perform deep cleaning of the blades.

[0104] In order to reliably keep the side of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the online cleaning nozzle inside when the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is in the online cleaning state, and to reliably keep the side of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the offline cleaning nozzle inside when the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is in the offline cleaning state, a second inward positioning groove is further designed on the front edge of the rectangular flip frame 3, and a second sliding groove communicating with the second inward positioning groove is provided on the outer wall.

[0105] The front edge of the rectangular cover plate 6 has a second outward locking groove;

[0106] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure also includes:

[0107] The second spring 12 is disposed in the second inward positioning groove;

[0108] The second locking pin 13 is disposed in the second inward positioning groove and has a second slot on its side wall. Under the elastic force of the second spring 12, it extends out of the second inward positioning groove and inserts into the second outward locking groove. Figure 7 As shown, the side of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the online or offline cleaning nozzle is reliably locked to the inside.

[0109] The second slider 14 is set in the second slide groove and is locked in the second slot, such as Figure 8As shown, pushing the second slider 14 can cause the second locking pin 13 to slide against the elastic force of the second spring 12, causing the second locking pin 13 to retract into the second inward positioning groove. At this time, the rectangular cover plate 6 can be flipped, turning the side with the online cleaning nozzle or offline cleaning nozzle into the inside. After the flipping is completed, the second slider 14 is released, and the second locking pin 13 extends out of the second inward positioning groove under the elastic force of the second spring 12 and re-inserts into the second outward locking groove to lock the rectangular cover plate 6.

[0110] There are two sets of the second spring 12 and its corresponding second locking pin 13 and second slider 14, which are distributed on both sides of the mounting tube head.

[0111] Example 2:

[0112] The inner side of the rectangular flip frame 3 has a cleaning window, and the front and rear edges of the cleaning window have inward sliding grooves, and one side edge has an opening.

[0113] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure also includes:

[0114] Two cleaning mounting plates 15 have multiple cleaning nozzles. One cleaning mounting plate 15 has smaller cleaning nozzles and is an online cleaning mounting plate with online cleaning nozzles. The other cleaning mounting plate 15 has larger cleaning nozzles and is an offline cleaning mounting plate with offline cleaning nozzles.

[0115] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure is located at:

[0116] In online cleaning mode, the online cleaning mounting plate is inserted into the cleaning window through the opening, with its front and rear edges engaging in the inward sliding grooves. At this time, the cleaning fluid introduced from the pipe connector 5 into the rectangular cover plate 6 is sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through the online cleaning nozzles, atomizing and mixing with the compressor intake airflow to sequentially flush each stage of the compressor blades, removing contaminants from the surface of each stage of the blades. Figure 9 As shown, due to the small size of the online cleaning nozzle, the amount of cleaning fluid injected into the compressor casing 2 can be controlled to be small, which facilitates atomization in the compressor casing 2.

[0117] In offline cleaning mode, the offline cleaning mounting plate is inserted into the cleaning window through the opening, with its front and rear edges engaging in the inward sliding grooves. At this time, the cleaning fluid introduced from the pipe connector 5 into the rectangular cover plate 6 is sprayed into the compressor casing 2 through the offline cleaning nozzles, thereby sequentially flushing each stage of the compressor blades and removing contaminants from their surfaces. For specific results, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 It is understood that, due to the large size of the offline cleaning nozzle, a large amount of cleaning fluid can be controlled to be injected into the compressor casing 2, so as to perform deep cleaning of the blades.

[0118] To facilitate the replacement of the cleaning mounting plate 15 and the switching of the working state of the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure, a rotating positioning hole is designed on the front edge of the rectangular flip frame 3.

[0119] The rectangular cover plate 6 has a flip positioning protrusion on its front edge. The flip positioning protrusion is inserted into the flip positioning hole and is coaxial with the mounting tube head. The rectangular cover plate 6 can flip within the rectangular flip frame 3.

[0120] When replacing the cleaning mounting plate 15, the rectangular cover plate 6 can be pushed to flip it over so that the edge of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the opening side faces outward, so that the original cleaning mounting plate 15 can be easily pulled out, the required cleaning mounting plate 15 can be installed into the cleaning window, and then the rectangular cover plate 6 can be pushed to flip it over so that the cleaning window flips to the inside.

[0121] To further facilitate the replacement of the cleaning mounting plate 15, switch the working state of the gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure, and keep the cleaning mounting plate 15 inside in both online and offline cleaning states, a spring groove is further designed on the edge of the cleaning window facing away from the opening.

[0122] The rectangular flip frame 3 has a third inward positioning groove on its front edge and a third sliding groove on its outer wall that communicates with the third inward positioning groove.

[0123] The rectangular cover plate 6 has a third through hole at its front edge;

[0124] The two cleaning mounting plates 15 have a third outward locking groove on their front edges;

[0125] The gas turbine compressor blade cleaning structure also includes:

[0126] The pop-out spring 19 is positioned in the spring groove. Cleaning the mounting plate 15 will press the pop-out spring 19 into place. Figure 11 As shown;

[0127] The third spring 16 is disposed in the third inward positioning groove;

[0128] The third locking pin 17 is located in the third inward positioning groove and has a third slot on its side wall. Under the elastic force of the third spring 16, it extends out of the third inward positioning groove, passes through the third through hole, and is inserted into the third outward locking groove on the online or offline cleaning mounting plate. Figure 9 As shown, this locks the online or offline cleaning mounting plate to the inside.

[0129] The third slider 18 is set in the third slide groove and is locked in the third slot, such as Figure 10As shown, pushing the third slider 18 can cause the third locking pin 17 to slide against the elastic force of the third spring 16, causing the third locking pin 13 to retract into the third inward positioning groove. At this time, the rectangular cover plate 6 can be pushed to flip, so that the edge of the rectangular cover plate 6 with the opening side faces outward. The original cleaning mounting plate 15 can be partially popped out of the cleaning window under the elastic force of the pop-out spring 19, so that the original cleaning mounting plate 15 can be easily pulled out and the required cleaning mounting plate 15 can be installed in the cleaning window. Then push the rectangular cover plate 6 to flip, so that the cleaning window flips to the inside. After releasing the third slider 18, the third locking pin 17 can extend out of the third inward positioning groove again under the elastic force of the third spring 16, pass through the third through hole, and insert into the third outward locking groove of the cleaning mounting plate 15 installed in the cleaning window for locking.
