Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1-8 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0030] A steam turbine shaft centering device, as shown in the attached manual Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0031] Bracket body 1, as shown in the instruction manual Figure 1 As shown, the bracket body 1 is an annular structure, and the bracket body 1 is provided with a plug hole 2, and the plug hole 2 is used to allow the shaft system to pass through the bracket body 1;

[0034] The adjustment component is used to adjust the position of the shaft system according to the detection result of the detection component.

[0035] The bracket body 1 is provided with a transmission cavity 3, and the transmission cavity 3 is used to install a fixed component. The fixed component includes a driving motor 4, an internal gear 5, a transmission gear 6, a transmission rack 7 and a clamping rod 8. The driving motor 4 is a servo motor and can therefore achieve more precise position control. The driving motor 4 is used to drive the internal gear 5 to rotate. The internal gear is arranged in the transmission cavity 3. The internal gear 5 and the transmission gear 6 are meshed with each other. The transmission rack 7 and the transmission gear 6 are meshed with each other. The clamping rod 8 is fixedly connected to the transmission rack 7. Therefore, when the transmission rack 7 slides, the clamping rod 8 is driven to extend and retract, and then the bracket body 1 is clamped. When clamping, the clamping block will abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole of the shaft. The clamping rod 8 is slidably connected to the bracket body 1. By rotating the internal gear 5, the transmission gear 6 is driven to rotate, and the transmission of the transmission rack 7 drives the clamping rod 8 to move along the radial direction of the bracket body 1. In this embodiment, there are six transmission gears 6, transmission racks 7 and clamping rods 8, and six transmission gears 6, transmission racks 7 and clamping rods 8 are arranged around the bracket body 1.

[0036] The bracket body 1 is provided with a gear groove 101, which is used to limit the movement of the mobile gear 11 and cooperate with the mobile gear 11 so that the mobile gear 11 can move along the gear groove 101 and thus control the moving trajectory of the mounting block 9. The rotating mechanism includes the mounting block 9, a mobile motor 10 and a mobile gear 11. The mobile motor 10 is arranged inside the mounting block 9 and is used to drive the mobile gear 11 to rotate. The mobile gear 11 and the gear groove 101 are meshed with each other. The mobile motor 10 drives the mobile gear 11 to rotate to drive the mounting block 9 to rotate along the gear groove 101. The detection mechanism is arranged on the mounting block 9.

[0037] The detection mechanism 1 includes a laser displacement sensor 12, which is arranged on the mounting block 9 and is used to dynamically detect the position of the shaft system. In this embodiment, the laser displacement sensor 12 and the laser displacement sensor 2 19 are both LK-G5000 series high-precision CMOS laser displacement sensors. In actual use, the models of the laser displacement sensor 12 and the laser displacement sensor 2 19 can be reasonably selected according to actual conditions.

[0038] The bracket body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 102, which is used to install the moving push rod 13 and store the moving ring 15 when not in use. The position adjustment mechanism includes the moving push rod 13, the rotating motor 14 and the moving ring 15. The rotating motor 14 is arranged at the moving end of one of the moving push rods 13, and the moving ends of the other moving push rods 13 are all provided with limit blocks 16. The limit blocks 16 are used to limit the movement of the moving ring 15 so that it remains stable and does not shake during rotation. The moving ring 15 is provided with a second gear groove 1501, which is used to cooperate with the output gear of the rotating motor 14 so as to drive the moving ring 15 to rotate when the rotating motor 14 drives the output gear to rotate. The output gear of the rotating motor 14 is arranged in the second gear groove 1501, and the limit block 16 is also arranged in the second gear groove 1501. In the drawings of the specification, the output gear of the rotating motor 14 is used to represent the rotating motor 14. It is hereby explained that the rotating motor 14 drives the output gear to rotate to drive the moving ring 15 to rotate. In this embodiment, four moving push rods 13 are provided, and the four moving push rods 13 are circumferentially arranged in the installation groove 102 .

[0039] The second detection mechanism includes a torsion spring 17, a rotating block 18 and a laser displacement sensor 19. The rotating block 18 is connected to the moving ring 15. The torsion spring 17 is arranged at the hinged end of the rotating block 18. The torsion spring 17 is used to drive the rotating block 18 to rotate when the moving push rod 13 drives the moving ring 15 to move to the outside of the installation groove 102 and to set the rotating block 18 along the radial direction of the moving ring 15. The laser displacement sensor 19 is arranged at the non-hinged end of the rotating block 18 and is used to detect the position of the shaft system along the axial direction. Through the setting of the torsion spring 17, when the moving ring 15 is in the installation groove 102, the laser displacement sensor 19 detects the obstruction in the moving direction of the moving push rod 13 and then determines the moving distance of the moving push rod 13.

[0040] The adjustment component includes a hydraulic push rod 20 and a clamping block 21. The hydraulic push rod 20 is externally connected to a driving oil pump. The driving oil pump is connected to the hydraulic push rod 20 through a pipeline and is used to drive the hydraulic push rod 20 to move. Four hydraulic push rods 20 are arranged around the inside of the bracket body 1. By controlling the travel distance of the hydraulic push rod 20, the clamping block 21 can be controlled to adjust the position of the shaft at different positions and directions. The clamping block 21 is arranged inside the socket 2. By controlling the driving oil pump to drive the hydraulic push rod 20 to extend and retract, it is used to drive the clamping block 21 to clamp and adjust the shaft system.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, the bracket body 1 is passed through the shaft to be measured through the socket 2, and then the internal gear 5 is driven to rotate by controlling the driving motor 4. When the internal gear 5 rotates, it will drive the transmission gear 6 to rotate, and then the bracket body 1 is coaxially fixed to the mounting hole of the shaft through the clamping rod 8. At this time, starting the moving motor 10 can drive the laser displacement sensor 12 to detect the position of the shaft. While the laser displacement sensor 12 is detecting, the moving push rod 13 will drive the moving ring 15 to move and the rotating motor 14 will be started, thereby driving the laser displacement sensor 2 19 to detect different positions of the shaft. Then, according to the detection results of the laser displacement sensor 12 and the laser displacement sensor 2 19, the driving oil pump is started to drive the hydraulic push rod 20 to move the clamping block 21 and then adjust the position of the shaft system.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
