Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a gas turbine starting transmission device. Background Art

[0002] The basic principle of a gas turbine is to heat the air by burning fuel, and then use the air energy to drive the turbine, which in turn drives the generator or other mechanical equipment to operate. Like most internal combustion engines, gas turbines cannot work independently (start by themselves), but require external force (energy) to help them start. Usually, the machine that provides energy to drive the gas turbine to rotate is called a starter. At present, the power source of the starter of small and medium-sized gas turbines in China is generally a DC motor, which not only has a complex structure and a high failure rate, but also requires a separate design of a special power motor to increase the cost. Not only that, due to the large power of the required starting motor, the motor is large in size, and often has to increase the reserved space to accommodate the motor.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 A gas turbine starting transmission device, comprising: a main transmission casing 1 and an auxiliary transmission casing 5, the main transmission casing 1 and the auxiliary transmission casing 5 are horizontally and centrally installed, the auxiliary transmission shaft 5.1 of the auxiliary transmission casing is connected to the auxiliary half coupling 11 through a leaf spring 4, the main transmission shaft 1.2 of the main transmission casing is connected to the main half coupling 2, the main half coupling is sleeved with the auxiliary half coupling and a safety bushing 3 is installed therein through a bolt 6; The main transmission casing includes a main housing 1.24, a compressor transmission assembly, a gas turbine transmission assembly, a lubricating oil pump transmission assembly and a fuel pump transmission assembly; A chip indicator 1.27 for detecting the purity of oil discharged from the central transmission device is provided on the upper part of the main transmission casing, and a magnetic iron chip catcher 1.26 for detecting the purity of all oil discharged from the transmission casing is provided on the lower part.

[0019] The main housing of the main transmission case is provided with flanges on both sides. One side is a rectangular flange for fixing the lubricating oil pump set; the other side flange is used to install the fuel pump. A convex seat is provided along the axis of the main housing, on which the main transmission bevel gear 1.3 and the centrifugal ratchet clutch 1.1 are installed; The centrifugal ratchet clutch comprises a bearing outer ring 1.1.2 and a bearing inner ring 1.1.1, and the bearing inner ring is connected with a plurality of bayonet pins 1.1.4 through pins 1.1.3, and the through hole of the bearing inner ring is pressed against the bearing outer ring by a piston 1.1.5 with a spring 1.1.6, so as to mesh with the convex point on the bearing outer ring. The torque is transmitted from the bearing outer ring to the pins and the bearing inner ring; Since the rotation center of the designed bayonet pin is not consistent with its center of gravity, when the coupling reaches the starting speed K, the torque of the centrifugal force acting on the bayonet pin is greater than the torque of the spring, and the bayonet pin disengages - the clutch is disconnected and remains disconnected under all operating conditions of the gas turbine.

[0020] When the unit stops running and the speed drops below the starting speed K, the centrifugal force acting on the bayonet is less than the spring torque, and the bayonet rotates toward the meshing trend. When the back of the bayonet touches the outer ring convex point of the active half coupling, the coupling resumes meshing. This process is completed before the low-pressure compressor rotor stops completely. When the unit is shut down, the clutch is always ready to run again.

[0021] The gas turbine starting transmission device described herein, the compressor transmission assembly includes a compressor transmission shaft 1.5, a compressor rotor shaft 1.8 and a compressor 1.9, a compressor transmission main bevel gear 1.4, a compressor transmission first sub-bevel gear 1.6 and a compressor transmission second sub-bevel gear 1.10 are fixed on the compressor transmission shaft, the compressor transmission main bevel gear 1.4 on the compressor transmission shaft is meshed with the main transmission bevel gear 1.3 on the main transmission shaft, and the compressor transmission first sub-bevel gear is meshed with the compressor rotor bevel gear 1.7 on the compressor rotor shaft.
