[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0030] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1This application provides a relay control system, including: a guide vane relay E, a locking unit 1, an emergency pressure control unit 2, and an emergency pressure control unit 3 connected to each other;

[0032] The locking unit 1 is used to lock the closed state of the guide vane servo when the guide vane servo is in the closed state, and to control the on / off state of the emergency pressure control unit 2.

[0033] The emergency pressure control unit 2 is used to control the on / off state of the emergency pressure control unit 3;

[0034] The locking unit 1 includes a first locking unit 11, a second locking unit 12, and a third locking unit 13. The first locking unit 11 is connected to the third locking unit 13 through the second locking unit 12. When the guide vane relay E is in the closed state, the guide vane relay E locks the second locking unit 12, so that the third locking unit 13 locks the closed state of the guide vane relay E according to the locking state of the second locking unit 12.

[0035] Specifically, the guide vane servoir E is connected to the turbine's guide vane mechanism, such as the guide vane itself, and is used to adjust the opening degree of the guide vane mechanism. The guide vane servoir E has functions for opening, closing, and emergency shutdown of the guide vane, enabling arbitrary opening adjustment and emergency shutdown capabilities. When the guide vane servoir E is in the closed state, the locking unit 1 locks the closed state of the guide vane servoir E to prevent accidental opening and potential blade misalignment. The emergency pressure control unit 2 controls the on / off state of the emergency pressure control unit 3, enabling timely closure of the emergency pressure control valve J and improving system stability. In this unit, the first locking unit 11 of the locking unit 1 is connected to the third locking unit 13 through the second locking unit 12. When the guide vane servoir E is in the closed state, the guide vane servoir E locks the second locking unit 12, thereby locking the guide vane servoir E in the closed state by the third locking unit 13. When the guide vane servoir E is open, the second locking unit 12 is not locked. If the first locking unit 11 is misoperated, it will not affect the control of the guide vane servoir E. In this way, the problem of the guide vane servoir E being accidentally locked in the open state is avoided.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first locking unit 11 includes a locking solenoid valve A, the second locking unit 12 includes a stroke valve B, and the third locking unit 13 includes a hydraulic locking device F. The first end of the locking solenoid valve A and the first end of the stroke valve B are both connected to the oil tank. The second end of the locking solenoid valve A is connected to the second end of the stroke valve B. The third end of the stroke valve B is connected to the oil inlet of the hydraulic locking device. When the guide vane servo is in the closed state, the control end of the hydraulic locking device F is connected to the switch end of the guide vane servo E.

[0037] Specifically, the first end of the locking solenoid valve A is the inlet end of the locking solenoid valve, and the second end is the outlet end. The first end of the stroke valve B is the first inlet end, the second end is the second inlet end, and the third end is the outlet end. The hydraulic locking device can be a hydraulic lock, and the control end of the hydraulic locking device is the locking end of the hydraulic lock. When the guide vane servoir E is in the closed state, the guide vane servoir E locks the second locking unit 12, that is, the stroke valve B is locked, and no oil flows through it. When the stroke valve B is locked and no oil flows through it, there is no oil flow in the hydraulic locking device, so it is in a locked state, locking the switch end of the guide vane servoir E.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guide vane servoir E includes a servoir body and a servoir piston rod D located inside the servoir body; the servoir piston rod D serves as the switch end of the guide vane servoir E, and when the guide vane servoir E is in the closed state, the control end of the hydraulic locking device F abuts against the servoir piston rod D.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guide vane servo actuator E includes a servo actuator body and a servo actuator piston rod D. The servo actuator body can be a hydraulic cylinder, and the piston-bearing end of the piston rod D is located inside the servo actuator body. Two oil inlets are provided on the side wall of the servo actuator body. One oil inlet is used to control the extension of the piston rod (e.g., controlling the closing of the guide vane servo actuator E), and the other oil inlet is used to control the retraction of the piston rod (e.g., controlling the opening of the guide vane servo actuator E). When the piston rod D is fully extended from the servo actuator body, the servo actuator is in the closed state, thereby controlling the guide vane to close. To prevent accidental opening of the guide vane servo actuator E due to misoperation, a hydraulic locking device is needed to lock the piston rod D of the guide vane servo actuator E. The hydraulic locking end of the hydraulic locking device abuts against the piston rod D to prevent piston rod movement.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, a limiting block C is provided on the piston rod D of the servo motor located outside the servo motor body; when the guide vane servo motor E is in the closed state, the pulley end of the stroke valve B abuts against the limiting block C.

[0041] Specifically, a limiting block C is provided above the piston rod D of the servo actuator, and a pulley is provided at the control end of the stroke valve B. The pulley at the control end of the stroke valve B cooperates with the limiting block C. The limiting block C is used to control the conduction state of the stroke valve B. When the guide vane servo actuator E is closed, the limiting block C is located below the stroke valve B. At this time, the stroke valve B is placed in the parallel position, that is, the closed state. When the stroke valve B is in the closed state, there is no pressure between the stroke valve B and the hydraulic locking device, so that the hydraulic locking device is in the locked state, and abuts and locks the piston rod D of the servo actuator to prevent the guide vane servo actuator E from being opened accidentally.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the emergency pressure control unit 2 includes a hydraulic control valve G, the control end of which is connected to the third end of the stroke valve B, and the second end of which is connected to the emergency pressure control unit 3.

[0043] Specifically, when the guide vane servo E is in the open state, the limit block C of the guide vane servo E disengages from the stroke valve B, causing the stroke valve B to be in the cross position. When the stroke valve B is in the cross position, the stroke valve B is open, transmitting pressure oil to the hydraulic control valve G, causing the hydraulic control valve G to be in the cross position and open. The opening of the hydraulic control valve G can configure the appropriate pressure for the emergency pressure distribution unit 3.

[0044] When the guide vane servo E is in the closed state, the limit block C of the guide vane servo E lifts the roller end of the stroke valve B, placing the stroke valve B in the parallel position. Stroke valve B is then cut off, and there is no pressure in the pipeline between the third end of stroke valve B and the hydraulic control valve G. Therefore, the hydraulic control valve G is in the parallel position and cut off, causing the emergency pressure distribution unit 3 to close. Consequently, all oil circuits are blocked and locked, thus ensuring the stability of the system.

[0045] In some embodiments, the emergency pressure regulating unit 3 includes an emergency pilot valve I and an emergency pressure regulating valve J. The first end of the emergency pilot valve I is connected to the second end of the hydraulic control valve G, the second end of the emergency pilot valve I is connected to the control end of the emergency pressure regulating valve J, the first end of the emergency pressure regulating valve J is connected to the first control end of the guide vane servo E, and the second end of the emergency pressure regulating valve J is connected to the second control end of the guide vane servo E.

[0046] Specifically, when the hydraulic control valve G is in the cross position, the overspeed protection device will transmit new pressurized oil to the emergency pilot valve I via the hydraulic control valve G. The emergency pilot valve I will then open, transmitting the new pressurized oil to the emergency pressure regulating valve J. The emergency pressure regulating valve J will distribute the new pressure to the guide vane servo actuator E, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the guide vane servo actuator E. In this way, the control of the guide vane opening by the guide vane servo actuator E can be precisely controlled.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a cartridge valve group K is provided between the emergency pressure regulating valve J and the guide vane relay E. The cartridge valve group K includes a first cartridge valve C1, a second cartridge valve C2, a third cartridge valve C3, and a fourth cartridge valve C4. The first end of the first cartridge valve C1 and the first end of the second cartridge valve C2 are both connected to the second end of the emergency pressure regulating valve J. The first end of the third cartridge valve C3 and the first end of the fourth cartridge valve C4 are both connected to the first end of the emergency pressure regulating valve J. The second end of the first cartridge valve C1 and the second end of the third cartridge valve C3 are both connected to the second control end of the guide vane relay E. The second end of the second cartridge valve C2 and the second end of the fourth cartridge valve C4 are both connected to the first control end of the guide vane relay E.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first cartridge valve C1 and the third cartridge valve C3 are connected to the oil inlet at the retracted end of the piston rod D of the guide vane servo actuator E, and the second cartridge valve C2 and the fourth cartridge valve C4 are connected to the oil inlet at the extended end of the piston rod D of the guide vane servo actuator E. When the emergency pressure distribution valve J transmits new pressure oil to the first cartridge valve C1, the second cartridge valve C2, the third cartridge valve C3, and the fourth cartridge valve C4, the pressure oil is supplied to the guide vane servo actuator E through the control of each cartridge valve, thereby controlling the opening and closing degree of the guide vane servo actuator E.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first cartridge valve C1 and the second cartridge valve C2 are also connected to a fine-tuning system L, which can control the opening and closing of the cartridge valves to control the pressure of the pressure oil. One end of the third cartridge valve C3 is connected to the main return oil circuit, and one end of the fourth cartridge valve C4 is connected to the main pressure oil circuit. They can work with the first cartridge valve C1 and the second cartridge valve C2 to control the main pressure oil circuit and the main return oil circuit to supply oil to the guide vane servo E, and quickly control the opening degree of the guide vane servo E.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: an overspeed protection unit 4, the control terminal of which is connected to the speed detector, and the output terminal of which is connected to the input terminal of the emergency pressure control unit 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the overspeed protection unit 4 includes a mechanical overspeed protection device H, the control terminal of which is connected to the speed detector, and the output terminal of which is connected to the first terminal of the hydraulic control valve G.

[0052] Specifically, the mechanical overspeed protection device can be a flow control valve. When the speed detector detects that the turbine speed is too high, the mechanical overspeed protection device will transmit the oil in the oil tank to the hydraulic control valve G according to a certain pressure. The hydraulic control valve G will transmit the pressure oil to the emergency pressure distribution unit 3 to provide pressure oil for the guide vane servo E, so as to control the opening of the guide vane servo E.

[0053] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application can also be further described in the following ways:

[0054] When the turbine is stopped, the locking solenoid valve A is engaged and in the cross position. The pulley of the stroke valve B is pressed against the plane of the limit block C, and the stroke valve B is in the parallel position. The pressure oil is cut off. The emergency control pilot valve I is engaged and in the parallel position. The emergency control valve J is closed and in the parallel position. The pressure oil reaches C1 and C2 of the cartridge valve K through the emergency control valve J. The fine-tuning system L cannot control the guide vane servo device E.

[0055] When the guide vane needs to be opened, the locking solenoid valve A is disengaged, and the emergency pilot valve I is disengaged.

[0056] Locking solenoid valve A is disengaged and switched to the parallel position. Pressure oil enters stroke valve B through locking solenoid valve A. After passing through stroke valve B, the pressure oil is divided into two paths. One path enters hydraulic locking device F and exits hydraulic locking device F so that guide vane servo can be opened or closed. The other path goes to hydraulic control valve G and puts hydraulic control valve G in the cross position.

[0057] One path of pressurized oil reaches the hydraulic control valve G through the mechanical overspeed protection device H. Since the hydraulic control valve G is in the cross position, the pressurized oil passes through the hydraulic control valve G to the emergency control pilot valve I. When the emergency control pilot valve I is disengaged and in the cross position, the pressurized oil reaches the emergency control valve J, causing the emergency control valve J to be in the cross position, i.e., open. At this time, the guide vane servo can be opened or closed.

[0058] As the guide vane servo E opens, the servo piston rod D moves to the left, and the limit block C moves to the left accordingly. The pulley of the stroke valve B gradually presses against the inclined surface of the limit block C, and the stroke valve B releases its stroke. The stroke valve B is placed in the cross position, and the pressure oil passes directly through the stroke valve B without passing through the locking solenoid valve A. At this time, the locking solenoid valve A is cut off from the oil circuit and loses its function, thus avoiding the operational risk of accidentally activating the locking solenoid valve A in non-stop conditions.

[0059] Meanwhile, because the pipeline between the stroke valve B and the hydraulic control valve G is pressurized, the hydraulic control valve G can be placed in the cross position. If the pipeline leaks and loses pressure, the hydraulic control valve G will be placed in the parallel position. The pressure oil through the mechanical overspeed device J will be cut off by the hydraulic control valve G. When the pipeline between the hydraulic control valve G and the emergency control pilot valve I loses pressure, the emergency control valve J will be placed in the parallel position, i.e., closed, thereby shutting down the relay and effectively preventing the accident from escalating.

[0060] When the guide vane servo E is closed, the servo piston rod D moves to the right, and the limit block C moves to the right accordingly. The pulley of the stroke valve B gradually presses onto the plane of the limit block C, the stroke valve B is compressed, and the stroke valve B is placed in the parallel position. The pressure oil reaches the stroke valve B through the locking solenoid valve A. At this time, the locking solenoid valve A is reconnected in the oil circuit and continues to play the role of controlling the hydraulic locking device F.

[0061] Based on a unified inventive concept, and referring to Figure 3 This application also provides a relay control method, applicable to any of the relay control systems described above, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step 102: In response to the guide vane servo being in the open state and the turbine speed exceeding a preset threshold, the pressure oil, through the first locking unit and the second locking unit, activates the emergency pressure control unit, and the overspeed protection device provides new pressure oil to the emergency pressure control unit through the emergency pressure control unit.

[0063] Step 104: The emergency pressure distribution unit controls the opening of the guide vane servo according to the new pressure oil.

[0064] Step 106: In response to the guide vane relay being in the closed state, the second locking unit is locked, and the third locking unit locks the closed state of the guide vane relay according to the locking state of the second locking unit.

[0065] Specifically, when the guide vane servo is in the closed state, the locking unit is used to lock the closed state of the guide vane servo to prevent accidental opening and potential blade misalignment. The emergency pressure control unit is used to control the on / off state of the emergency pressure control unit, enabling timely closure of the emergency pressure control valve and improving system stability. The first locking unit of the locking system is connected to the second and third locking units. When the guide vane servo is in the closed state, the guide vane servo locks the second locking unit, thus the third locking unit locks the guide vane servo in the closed state. When the guide vane servo is open, the second locking unit is not locked. If the first locking unit malfunctions, it will not affect the control of the guide vane servo, thus avoiding the problem of accidental locking when the guide vane servo is open.

[0066] Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned relay control system, the control method is specifically described as follows: When the turbine is stopped, the locking solenoid valve A is in the engaged state and in the cross position, the pulley of the stroke valve B is pressed on the plane of the limit block C, the stroke valve B is in the parallel position, the pressure oil is cut off, the emergency control pilot valve I is in the engaged state and in the parallel position, the emergency control valve J is in the closed state and in the parallel position, the pressure oil reaches C1 and C2 of the cartridge valve K through the emergency control valve J, and the fine-tuning system L cannot control the guide vane relay E.

[0067] When the guide vane needs to be opened, the locking solenoid valve A is disengaged, and the emergency pilot valve I is disengaged.

[0068] Locking solenoid valve A is disengaged and switched to the parallel position. Pressure oil enters stroke valve B through locking solenoid valve A. After passing through stroke valve B, the pressure oil is divided into two paths. One path enters hydraulic locking device F and exits hydraulic locking device F so that guide vane servo can be opened or closed. The other path goes to hydraulic control valve G and puts hydraulic control valve G in the cross position.

[0069] One path of pressurized oil reaches the hydraulic control valve G through the mechanical overspeed protection device H. Since the hydraulic control valve G is in the cross position, the pressurized oil passes through the hydraulic control valve G to the emergency control pilot valve I. When the emergency control pilot valve I is disengaged and in the cross position, the pressurized oil reaches the emergency control valve J, causing the emergency control valve J to be in the cross position, i.e., open. At this time, the guide vane servo can be opened or closed.

[0070] As the guide vane servo E opens, the servo piston rod D moves to the left, and the limit block C moves to the left accordingly. The pulley of the stroke valve B gradually presses against the inclined surface of the limit block C, and the stroke valve B releases its stroke. The stroke valve B is placed in the cross position, and the pressure oil passes directly through the stroke valve B without passing through the locking solenoid valve A. At this time, the locking solenoid valve A is cut off from the oil circuit and loses its function, thus avoiding the operational risk of accidentally activating the locking solenoid valve A in non-stop conditions.

[0071] Meanwhile, because the pipeline between the stroke valve B and the hydraulic control valve G is pressurized, the hydraulic control valve G can be placed in the cross position. If the pipeline leaks and loses pressure, the hydraulic control valve G will be placed in the parallel position. The pressure oil through the mechanical overspeed device J will be cut off by the hydraulic control valve G. When the pipeline between the hydraulic control valve G and the emergency control pilot valve I loses pressure, the emergency control valve J will be placed in the parallel position, i.e., closed, thereby shutting down the relay and effectively preventing the accident from escalating.

[0072] When the guide vane servo E is closed, the servo piston rod D moves to the right, and the limit block C moves to the right accordingly. The pulley of the stroke valve B gradually presses onto the plane of the limit block C, the stroke valve B is compressed, and the stroke valve B is placed in the parallel position. The pressure oil reaches the stroke valve B through the locking solenoid valve A. At this time, the locking solenoid valve A is reconnected in the oil circuit and continues to play the role of controlling the hydraulic locking device F.

[0073] It should be noted that the method in this embodiment can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or server. The method can also be applied in a distributed scenario, where multiple devices cooperate to complete the task.
