AI Technical Summary
During steam turbine maintenance, the main steam door and adjusting door bolts are thick in the oxide scale due to long-term high temperature work, which leads to the thread being bitten to death, making it difficult to disassemble, and the bolt breakage is relatively common, making it difficult to efficiently disassemble and repair in the existing technology.
A high-pressure main valve bolt snapping and disassembly method is adopted, which includes cutting the screw with a portable cutting machine at a position 10mm away from the joint surface of the main valve and the adjustment door housing, processing a special blocking plate, drilling holes using a magnetic drill and a drill bit, and using a gas welder Cut off the remaining part of the bolt, tighten it with an iron-handled screwdriver, gradually remove the bolt, and perform a test buckle before reassembly to ensure that the bolt can be screwed in and out easily.
This method reduces maintenance hours, reduces work intensity, improves disassembly efficiency, and has less impact on the material of the door body. Through accumulated experience, the disassembly progress of the main steam valve and door adjustment bolts is further accelerated.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for disassembling a high-pressure main steam valve bolt. Background Art
[0002] During the maintenance of the steam turbine, metal inspection found that the hardness of the main steam valve and regulating valve joint surface bolts exceeded the standard or the bolts were damaged by seizure and needed to be replaced. During the disassembly and replacement process, because the main steam valve and regulating valve bolts had not been disassembled for many years during an overhaul cycle, the bolts had been working at high temperatures for a long time, and the surface oxide scale was thick, which caused a large extrusion force between the bolts and the thread buckle, and the surface oxide scale was concentrated together to form a hard oxide film. When the oxide film was broken, burrs were pulled out on the thread surface, causing the thread to be seizure and difficult to disassemble. In addition, bolts were found to be broken during the maintenance. In view of the above situation, a lot of work was done on the bolt maintenance, and a set of feasible bolt disassembly methods were explored. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby providing a method for disassembling the high-pressure main steam valve bolt bite.
[0004] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for removing a high-pressure main steam valve bolt from being bitten, the method comprising the following steps: (1) Use a portable cutting machine to cut off the screw at a position 10 mm away from the joint surface of the main steam valve and the regulating valve housing, leaving two bolts at symmetrical positions, and process a special plugging plate; (2) Install the special plugging plate on the door body, tighten it with a nut, attach the magnetic drill to the plugging plate, find the center, and use a drill bit that is about 10mm smaller than the inner diameter of the bolt to drill a hole. The depth should be such that it does not damage the door body. (3) Contact a skilled gas welder to cut the remaining part of the bolt after drilling into four pieces, taking care not to damage the bottom wire, and then use an iron-handled screwdriver to close the end and slowly remove it; (4) Find the two symmetrical thread holes after removing the bolts, tap them and insert the replacement bolts, put the special blocking plate back on the door body, and remove the remaining two bolts in the same way; (5) This method reduces the workload and is more efficient when removing bolts. In addition, due to the small amount of cutting and removal, the material of the valve body is less affected. After a certain amount of disassembly, we have accumulated and summarized experience and applied it to the disassembly of the main steam valve and regulating valve bolts. The effect is good and the disassembly progress is further accelerated. (6) After the bolts are removed, clean the bottom hole with compressed air. Pay attention to reliably sealing the flange opening during the cleaning process to prevent debris from entering the steam pipe; (7) Use a tap to tap.
[0005] The method for disassembling the high-pressure main steam valve bolt bite is that the plugging plate is an A3 steel plugging plate with a thickness of δ=20mm.
[0006] The specific process of step (7) of the method for removing the high-pressure main steam valve bolt from being bitten is as follows: due to the thick oxide scale, tapping will be more laborious. Use a tap head first, but do not use too much force to prevent the tap from breaking. During the tapping process, the tap should be returned several times, and lubricant should be added while tapping. After the tap head taps to the bottom, use a second tap to tap again. Before reinstalling, test all the bolts. The bolts should be qualified if they can be easily screwed in and out. Beneficial Effects
[0007] 1. The disassembly and maintenance method of the main steam valve and regulating valve of the steam turbine in the case of the screw thread buckle being stuck reduces the maintenance time, greatly reduces the work intensity, has high efficiency, and has little impact on the door body material. 2. Due to the thick oxide scale, tapping will be more laborious. Use the tap head first, but do not use too much force to prevent the tap from breaking. During the tapping process, the tap should be returned several times, and lubricant should be added while tapping. After the tap head is tapped to the bottom, use the second tap to tap again. Before reinstalling, test all the bolts, and the bolts should be qualified if they can be easily screwed in and out. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
