[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the angular displacement measuring device for the rotatable guide vane of the gas turbine compressor adopts a bottom-up installation method. First, the U-shaped fork connector 4 is connected to the shift fork 9 and installed on the rotatable guide vane shaft in a sleeve manner. It is then tightened and fixed to the rotatable guide vane shaft by screw A2 and self-locking nut 3. The U-shaped fork connector 4 and the rotatable guide vane shaft have a small clearance fit, which ensures that the axis of the center hole of the U-shaped fork connector 4 is on the same axis as the rotatable guide vane shaft. Next, the bracket 5 is installed on the gas turbine casing. The angular displacement sensor assembly 8 is installed on the bracket 5 by screw B6 and anti-loosening washer A7. During this process, it is not necessary to tighten screw B6 and anti-loosening washer A7 to ensure the angular displacement sensor... Component 8 can move back and forth on bracket 5 in a free state. One end of coupling assembly 1 is connected to the sensing part of angular displacement sensor 8-2 and pressed with screw 1-2 and anti-loosening washer B1-1. The other end is inserted into the groove of U-shaped fork connector 4 through cylindrical pin 1-3. During assembly, the rotatable guide vane fork can be rotated repeatedly. By adjusting the oblong hole on the flange 8-1 of angular displacement sensor assembly 8 and the cylindrical pin 1-3 on coupling assembly 1 within a small range, the angular displacement sensor 8-2 and the rotatable guide vane shaft can be automatically concentric. After adjustment, tighten screw B6 and anti-loosening washer A7. At this point, the angular displacement measuring device of rotatable guide vane of gas turbine compressor is installed.
[0032] Figure 6 In the process, after the gas turbine receives the start command, the gas turbine control system activates, the gas turbine starts and enters the working state. The compressor's rotatable guide vane angle employs the currently common "speed control" strategy, where the compressor speed is the control target and the rotatable guide vane angle is the control object. The compressor speed signal is fed back to the rotatable guide vane actuator in real time. By continuously changing the angle, real-time matching with the compressor speed is achieved. This method ensures good matching between the speed and the rotatable guide vane angle under different operating conditions. The corresponding relationship between the compressor's calculated speed and the rotatable guide vane angle is provided by the compressor design department or unit. The relationship between the rotatable guide vane angle and the displacement of the hydraulic or electric actuator is determined by the angular displacement sensor 8-2 during installation and commissioning. Figure 7) is determined. The control system calculates the relative conversion speed according to the collected compressor physical rotating speed and the total temperature of the intake air, and then obtains the displacement value of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator (or the target value of the conversion guide vane angle), adopts the mixed control scheme of interpolation and fuzzy calculation to control the displacement action of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator, and realizes the conversion guide vane angle control. The hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator needs to be self-checked during the operation process, and whether the next step of the gas turbine continues to work or the pre-warning instruction or the fault alarm instruction is sent is determined according to whether the difference between the instruction angle and the feedback angle of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator exceeds the limit value α or β. The angle limit value α or β is closely related to the compressor speed-up rate of the gas turbine and the working capacity of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator, and needs to be repeatedly explored through experiments. When the conversion guide vane rotating shaft rotates, the receiving part of the angle displacement sensor 8-2 rotates synchronously. The angle displacement sensor 8-2 transmits the measured actual value of the compressor conversion guide vane angle displacement signal to the gas turbine control system. The control system compares the received actual measured angle value with the conversion guide vane angle target value, controls the conversion guide vane hydraulic system or the electric cylinder through the difference value signal, realizes the linear displacement of the conversion guide vane hydraulic system or the electric cylinder, converts the linear displacement through the conversion guide vane actuator, and thus realizes the conversion guide vane angle adjustment, until the compressor conversion guide vane angle measured by the angle displacement sensor 8-2 meets the accuracy requirement. The whole conversion guide vane angle control process is completed by the electronic and mechanical parts together, and there is a conversion between different types of signals, such as displacement-electricity, rotating speed-electricity and temperature-electricity, and meanwhile, the matching problem between the systems is involved, which has a wide range and complex content.
[0033] Figure 7 In the conversion guide vane angle control process, the receiving part of the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is concentrically installed with the conversion guide vane rotating shaft, the conversion guide vane angle control program of the gas turbine control system is debugged, the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator is adjusted, the relationship between the conversion guide vane angle and the linear displacement of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator is determined according to the limit angle positions on both sides of the dial, the angle measured by the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is calibrated based on the limit angle displayed by the dial, the measured value of the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is corrected in the control system so as to be consistent with the limit angle displayed by the dial, and the angle measured by the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is recorded in the uplink and downlink processes of the hydraulic actuator or the electric actuator respectively based on the limit angle displayed by the dial. After it is confirmed that the angle measured by the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is consistent with the angle displayed by the dial, the angle displacement measurement signal of the angle displacement sensor 8-2 is connected to the control system, and the conversion guide vane angle is monitored in real time in the control system. Both the processes need to be read by the dial by artificial method.
[0034] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the principles and technical scope of the present application shall fall into the scope of the present application.
