Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam turbines, and in particular to a vertical key positioning structure of a marine steam turbine. Background Art
[0002] For common steam turbine structures, the assembly process of its rotor, partition and partition sleeve is generally as follows: the upper and lower partitions are respectively assembled and centered with the partition sleeve or the upper and lower cylinders through brackets or ear blocks, and the axial direction is positioned by axial locating pins, and the circumferential direction is positioned by bottom keys. The bottom key is usually repaired and spot welded first, and then the corresponding lower partition sleeve is removed and further welded. After the centering is completed, the upper and lower cylinders are tightened.
[0003] Compared to conventional power plant turbines, marine steam turbines currently face stricter requirements for lightweighting and compactness. Furthermore, marine equipment requires heel and pitch testing to ensure proper operation in the harsh marine environment. This necessitates designing marine steam turbines as compactly as possible, while ensuring component stability and preventing uncontrolled movement or rotation. To meet these demands, the continuous drive for compact turbine structures has resulted in the common bottom key mounting and positioning mechanism becoming unusable due to insufficient installation space.
[0004] In summary, due to the relatively compact structure and small internal operating space of marine steam turbines, the bottom key installation and positioning structure of traditional steam turbines cannot be applied to marine steam turbines, resulting in the problem that marine steam turbines cannot operate normally in harsh marine environments. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the second horizontal positioning pin 9 is welded and fixed to the inner surface of the positioning hole on the vertical section of the second vertical key 7;
[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the second longitudinal positioning pin 10 is welded and fixed to the inner surface of the positioning hole on the horizontal section of the second vertical key 7;
[0011] Furthermore, the outer surface of the No. 1 horizontal positioning pin 2 is welded and fixed to the inner surface of the positioning hole on the vertical section of the No. 1 vertical key 3;
[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the No. 1 longitudinal positioning pin 4 is welded and fixed to the inner surface of the positioning hole on the horizontal section of the No. 1 vertical key 3;
[0013] Furthermore, the upper baffle sleeve 1, the upper cylinder 5, the lower baffle sleeve 6 and the lower cylinder 8 are coaxially arranged;
[0014] Furthermore, during installation, the lower partition sleeve 6 is first installed inside the lower cylinder 8, and the middle dividing surface of the lower partition sleeve 6 adopts a cat's claw structure to fall inside the lower cylinder 8. After centering and positioning, the hydrophobic hole on the bottom surface of the lower cylinder 8 itself is expanded to a suitable size as an operating hole, and the repaired No. 2 vertical key 7 is installed in the corresponding groove of the lower cylinder 8, and the No. 2 horizontal locating pin 9 and the No. 2 longitudinal locating pin 10 of the lower half are successively driven into the pin holes and spot welded; then the upper partition sleeve 1 is dropped on the upper part of the lower partition sleeve 6, and the middle dividing surface bolts are tightened; then the upper cylinder 5 falls, and the steam duct hole on the top surface of the upper cylinder 5 is used as the operating area, and the repaired No. 1 vertical key 3 is installed in the corresponding groove of the upper cylinder 5, and the No. 1 horizontal locating pin 2 and the No. 1 longitudinal locating pin 4 of the upper half are successively driven in and spot welded, thereby completing the installation of the turbine vertical key positioning structure.
