[0002] As the demand for clean energy continues to increase, hydropower generation, as an important way to utilize renewable energy, has attracted much attention for its technological development. Traditional turbines have a certain room for efficiency improvement in the process of hydropower generation. For example, the speed and flow direction of the water flow entering the turbine are not accurately controlled, which may cause uneven force on the turbine blades and affect the energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, the structure and performance of the turbine blades also have a key impact on the power generation efficiency. The energy utilization of traditional blades under the impact of water flow is not sufficient, and they are easily corroded and worn by water flow, shortening their service life. In addition, the transmission assembly may also cause energy loss due to problems such as component wear and poor lubrication in the process of transmitting the mechanical energy of the water wheel to the generator. In addition, under some complex water flow conditions, such as when the water flow velocity changes greatly, it is difficult for existing turbines to quickly adapt and maintain an efficient power generation state.

The quenching layer is used to improve the wear resistance of the transmission teeth, and the transmission teeth are meshed with the inner gear ring, and are used to drive the driven teeth to rotate through the transmission teeth when the inner gear ring rotates, thereby causing the driven teeth to drive the output shaft of the generator to rotate synchronously.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the arc-shaped blade body of the water turbine blade is covered with an anti-corrosion coating, which is an epoxy resin coating with a thickness of 0.3 - 0.5 mm. The anti-corrosion coating is used to prevent the arc-shaped blade body from being corroded when it comes into contact with water, and a cylindrical plug connector is provided at the rear end of the arc-shaped blade body, which is inserted into the plug hole on the side of the mounting plate to fix the water turbine blade on the mounting plate. An inclined water flow channel is provided on the upper surface of the arc-shaped blade body, which is used to guide water to flow from the inside of the water flow channel toward the center and from the center part to the outside during the rotation of the water turbine blade.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a multi-stage turbine structure for improving the efficiency of hydropower generation, the implementation method is as follows: Select a suitable installation location and ensure that the installation foundation of the diversion pipe 1 is solid and level. Use concrete to cast a special foundation seat, and reserve an installation groove on the foundation seat that matches the bottom of the diversion pipe 1. Lift the diversion pipe 1 to the installation location, slowly put it into the installation groove, use a level and a plumb line to check its verticality and horizontality, and after adjusting it to meet the requirements, use high-strength bolts to fix the diversion pipe 1 to the foundation seat. Use sealant and sealing gaskets to seal the joints of the diversion pipe 1 to prevent water leakage.

[0023] The inner wall of the diversion pipe 1 is provided with a diversion section that gradually shrinks along the water flow direction. When manufacturing the diversion pipe 1, a mold forming process is used to ensure the shape accuracy of the diversion section. The spoiler protrusions on the surface of the diversion section are manufactured by welding or one-piece forming process. The spoiler protrusions are accurately distributed in a spiral shape, and the depth and width of the spoiler grooves formed between adjacent spoiler protrusions are uniform. After the installation is completed, the inside of the diversion pipe 1 is surface treated to make its inner wall smooth and reduce water flow resistance, while ensuring that the shapes of the spoiler protrusions and spoiler grooves are not affected.

[0024] First, the rotating shaft is installed on the supporting bearing inside the diversion pipe 1 to ensure that the rotating shaft can rotate smoothly. The mounting plate 26 is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft. The mounting plate 26 and the rotating shaft are connected by a key and fastened by a nut to prevent the mounting plate 26 from loosening during operation. Each mounting plate 26 is evenly provided with a plug hole 261 for installing the water wheel blade 21. The hole diameter and depth of the plug hole 261 are precisely processed according to the size of the cylindrical plug connector 212 of the water wheel blade 21 to ensure that the plug connector 212 can be tightly inserted and fixed.

[0025] The installation process of the water wheel blade 21 is as follows: align the cylindrical plug connector 212 of the water wheel blade 21 with the plug hole 261 on the mounting plate 26, and gently insert the plug connector 212 until it completely enters the plug hole 261. If the plug connector 212 and the plug hole 261 fit tightly, you can use a rubber hammer to gently tap the water wheel blade 21 to install it in place. In the case where at least two mounting plates 26 are installed on the water wheel assembly 2, it is necessary to ensure that the water wheel blades 21 on each mounting plate 26 are staggered at a certain angle, for example, the water wheel blades 21 on adjacent mounting plates 26 are staggered by 60 degrees, so as to ensure that the water flow can evenly impact each water wheel blade 21 and improve the rotation efficiency of the water turbine.

[0026] The transmission assembly 28 is installed at the rear end of the rotating shaft, and the connecting frame 281 of the transmission assembly 28 is fixed to the rotating shaft by bolts to ensure a firm connection. The inner gear ring 284 is installed on the connecting frame 281 through a bearing so that it can rotate flexibly relative to the connecting frame 281. The driven gear 283 is installed on the shaft in the middle of the inner gear ring 284. The shaft and the inner gear ring 284 are connected by high-precision bearings to ensure that the driven gear 283 can rotate smoothly. Three sets of transmission teeth 282 are installed inside the driven teeth 283 and the inner gear ring 284. The transmission teeth 282 are precisely meshed with the inner gear ring 284, and the meshing clearance is controlled between 0.10.2 mm to ensure transmission efficiency and stability.

[0027] Install the generator 25 and fix it on a suitable bracket, which is firmly connected to the ground or other supporting structures. The input shaft of the generator 25 is connected to the driven tooth 283 in the transmission assembly 28 through a coupling to ensure that the two rotate synchronously. During the connection process, the position of the generator 25 should be accurately adjusted so that the coupling can be installed smoothly, and the input shaft of the generator 25 should be ensured to coincide with the axis of the driven tooth 283, with an error of no more than 0.1 mm, so as to reduce vibration and energy loss during rotation.

[0028] The rotating shaft on the water wheel assembly 2 is installed with a brake disc 27, which is installed on the rotating shaft through a key connection and fastened with a nut. The brake disc 27 is fixed by a support frame 22, and the support frame 22 is welded to the diversion pipe 1 or other fixed structure to ensure the stability of the position of the brake disc 27. The brake motor 23 is installed on the side of the brake disc 27, and the brake motor 23 is fixed to the support frame 22 by bolts. The output shaft of the brake motor 23 is parallel to the braking surface of the brake disc 27, and the gap between the two is within the specified range, generally 12 mm, so that they can effectively contact and generate braking force when braking is required.

[0029] The upper and lower shells of the protective shell are connected in a detachable manner, such as by bolts. Before installing the upper and lower shells, install the sealing gasket on the contact surface of the two. The sealing gasket is made of oil-resistant and water-resistant rubber material with a thickness of 35 mm. Paste or place the sealing gasket flatly on the sealing surface of the upper or lower shell to ensure that the sealing gasket has no wrinkles or damage. Then align the upper and lower shells and tighten them with bolts according to the specified torque. The spacing of the bolts is evenly distributed, generally 100-150 mm, to ensure the sealing effect.

[0030] Heat dissipation holes are provided on the protective shell. The shape of the heat dissipation holes can be circular or square. The aperture is determined according to the heat dissipation requirements and the strength requirements of the protective shell, and is generally 5-10 mm. The number and distribution of the heat dissipation holes should be reasonable, for example, multiple heat dissipation holes are evenly distributed on the top and sides of the protective shell. The fan of the ventilation device is installed at the heat dissipation hole. The fan is fixed to the protective shell by bolts. The power cord of the fan is introduced into the interior through the reserved holes on the protective shell and is connected to the temperature sensor and controller. The temperature sensor is installed inside the protective shell near the transmission assembly 28 and the generator 25, for example, on the outer casing of the transmission assembly 28 or on the base of the generator 25. Use thermal conductive glue to fit the temperature sensor tightly to the surface of the equipment to ensure that the temperature of the equipment can be accurately measured.

[0031] An angle adjustment device is installed on the mounting plate 26, and the adjustment seat is welded or bolted to the mounting plate 26 to ensure that the position of the adjustment seat is accurate and firm. The adjusting screw passes through the adjustment seat, and the adjusting screw and the adjustment seat are threaded, and the thread accuracy is medium accuracy, such as 6g level. One end of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the cylindrical plug connector 212 of the water wheel blade 21. When connecting, apply an appropriate amount of thread locking agent to the thread to prevent the adjusting screw from loosening during operation. A rotating handle is installed at the end of the adjusting screw. The rotating handle adopts a shape that is easy to operate, such as round or T-shaped. The rotating handle and the adjusting screw are welded or threaded to ensure a firm connection.

[0032] After the installation of the turbine is completed, the angle adjustment device is debugged. First, the turbine is in a stationary state, and the adjustment screw is rotated by rotating the handle to observe the angle change of the turbine blade 21. Use an angle measuring tool, such as a protractor or an inclination sensor, to measure the initial angle of the turbine blade 21 and record it. Then, according to the design requirements, gradually adjust the angle of the turbine blade 21. For example, when the water flow speed is slow, increase the angle of the turbine blade 21, and adjust the amplitude by 510 degrees each time. After adjustment, measure the angle again and record it. During the adjustment process, pay attention to whether the adjustment screw rotates smoothly, whether the turbine blade 21 can change the angle smoothly, and whether the connection between the adjustment seat and the plug connector 212 is firm. If it is found that the adjustment screw is difficult to rotate or the angle change of the turbine blade 21 is not smooth, check whether the thread is stuck or damaged by foreign objects, and clean or repair it in time. After the adjustment is completed, test run the turbine at different angles, measure its output power and efficiency, and determine the best angle setting of the turbine blade 21.

[0033] The brake motor 23 is connected to the brake control system, and the controller is installed in a suitable control box. The control box is installed in a location that is convenient for operation and maintenance, such as on the wall of a machine room near the turbine. The speed sensor is installed on the rotating shaft of the water wheel assembly 2, and the speed sensor is fixed with a bracket to ensure that the distance between the sensing head of the speed sensor and the surface of the rotating shaft is within the specified range, generally 13 mm, so as to accurately detect the rotation speed of the rotating shaft. The speed sensor is connected to the controller via a shielded cable, and the cable wiring should be reasonable to avoid electromagnetic interference. The pressure sensor is installed in the brake hydraulic system of the brake disc 27. If it is a mechanical braking method, it is installed on the brake mechanism to detect the brake pressure. The pressure sensor is connected to the controller via a cable. When connecting, ensure that the connection is firm and the signal transmission is stable.

[0034] After the brake control system is installed, it is debugged. First, start the turbine and make it run normally. The speed sensor starts to detect the speed of the water wheel assembly 2 and transmits the signal to the controller. The controller displays the current speed value and observes whether the displayed value is consistent with the actual speed. If there is an error, the speed sensor should be calibrated or adjusted. Then, simulate the situation where the speed of the water wheel assembly 2 is too fast, for example, by adjusting the water flow or other means to make the speed exceed the set maximum value. At this time, the controller should control the brake motor 23 to start according to the speed signal fed back by the speed sensor. Observe the braking condition of the brake disc 27, check whether the braking is smooth, and whether the water wheel assembly 2 can stop rotating within the specified time. During the braking process, the pressure sensor monitors the braking pressure in real time and transmits the signal to the controller. The controller adjusts the output power of the brake motor 23 according to the pressure signal. Observe whether the controller can accurately adjust the output of the brake motor 23 according to the pressure change to keep the braking pressure within an appropriate range. If it is found that the braking is not smooth or the pressure adjustment is inaccurate, check the connection and parameter settings between the brake motor 23, the braking mechanism, the pressure sensor and the controller, and make corresponding adjustments and optimizations.

[0035] As mentioned above, the various components of the transmission assembly 28 must ensure precise matching and connection during installation. The connecting frame 281, the inner gear ring 284, the driven gear 283 and the transmission gear 282 must be cleaned and inspected before installation to ensure that there are no impurities or damage on the surface. High-precision bearings must be used for the rotational connection of the inner gear ring 284 relative to the fixed seat 24. Special tools must be used when installing the bearings to ensure that the bearings are installed in place and the clearance meets the requirements. After the transmission teeth 282 are engaged with the inner gear ring 284, a manual rotation test must be performed to check the engagement to ensure smooth transmission without jamming. The coloring method can be used to check the meshing contact spots. The contact spots should be evenly distributed in the middle of the tooth surface, not less than 50% along the tooth length direction and not less than 40% along the tooth height direction. If poor meshing is found, adjust the position of the transmission teeth 282 or the inner gear ring 284 until a good meshing state is achieved.

[0036] The generator 25 is installed on a solid foundation, and the vibration frequency of the foundation should be far away from the natural frequency of the generator 25 to prevent resonance. When connecting the input shaft of the generator 25 and the driven tooth 283 in the transmission assembly 28, the coaxiality of the two should be accurately adjusted, and the coaxiality error should not exceed 0.05 mm. After the installation is completed, the generator 25 is debugged. First, the insulation resistance of the generator 25 is measured using an insulation resistance meter. The insulation resistance value should meet the specified requirements and is generally not less than 1 megohm. Then, the no-load test of the generator 25 is carried out, the turbine is started, and the generator 25 is operated under no-load conditions. The output voltage, frequency and waveform are measured. The voltage and frequency should be stable near the rated value, the waveform should be a sine wave, and the distortion should not exceed the specified range. If the voltage, frequency or waveform is found to be abnormal, the excitation system, winding and other components of the generator 25 should be checked and corresponding adjustments and repairs should be made. After the no-load test is normal, a load test is performed to gradually increase the load of the generator 25, measure its output power, efficiency, temperature rise and other parameters, and check whether the performance of the generator 25 under different loads meets the design requirements.

[0037] When installing the turbine blades 21, special attention should be paid to the connection firmness and angle consistency between the turbine blades 21 and the mounting plate 26. When inserting the plug connector 212 into the socket 261, ensure that the plug connector 212 is fully inserted to the bottom and fits tightly against the inner wall of the socket 261. For the plug connector 212 with threaded connection, the prescribed torque should be followed during the tightening process. The general torque value is 50100 Nm to ensure the reliability of the connection. After the installation is completed, check whether the installation angle of each turbine blade 21 meets the design requirements. The angle error between adjacent turbine blades 21 does not exceed 2 degrees. An angle template or special measuring tools can be used for measurement. If the angle error is large, it should be adjusted in time.

[0038] The turbine blades 21 are inspected regularly, including appearance inspection and performance inspection. The appearance inspection mainly checks whether there are cracks, wear, corrosion, etc. on the surface of the turbine blades 21. Minor wear on the surface can be repaired, such as using a grinding tool to polish the worn parts smooth and perform anti-corrosion treatment. If cracks or severe corrosion are found, the turbine blades 21 should be replaced in time. The performance inspection includes checking whether the water flow channel 2111 of the turbine blades 21 is unobstructed and whether there is any blockage by debris. The water flow channel 2111 can be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun or compressed air to ensure that the water flow can pass normally. At the same time, check the stress of the turbine blades 21 during operation, and observe whether the stress change is within the normal range through the stress sensor or monitoring system installed on the turbine blades 21. If abnormal stress is found, the cause should be analyzed. It may be a problem with the angle of the turbine blades 21, uneven water flow, etc., and corresponding measures should be taken in time to make adjustments. After completing the installation and debugging of the above-mentioned components, the overall debugging of the multi-stage turbine structure is carried out. First, check whether the connection of the entire system is firm, whether the components are installed in place, and whether there are leaks or damages in the pipes and lines. Then, gradually open the water inlet valve of the turbine to allow the water to slowly enter the diversion pipe 1, observe the startup of the water wheel assembly 2, whether the water wheel blades 21 can rotate smoothly, and whether the transmission assembly 28 and the generator 25 are working normally. During the startup process, monitor the various parameters of the system, such as speed, voltage, current, temperature, etc., and check whether the parameters change normally. If it is found that the startup is difficult or the parameters are abnormal, stop debugging immediately, find the cause and deal with it.

[0039] After the turbine is started normally, gradually increase the water flow rate to make the turbine run under different loads and observe its operating stability and power generation efficiency. Under different loads, measure the output power, efficiency and other performance indicators of the turbine and compare them with the design values. If it is found that there is a large deviation between the actual performance and the design value, a comprehensive inspection of the system is required, including the water flow state of the diversion pipe 1, the angle and performance of the turbine blades 21, the transmission efficiency of the transmission assembly 28, the performance of the generator 25, etc., to find out the factors affecting the performance and make optimization adjustments.

[0040] After the multi-stage turbine structure is officially put into operation, a complete operation monitoring system is established. Real-time monitoring of various operating parameters of the turbine, such as speed, water flow, inlet and outlet pressure, temperature, vibration, etc., and output parameters of the generator 25, such as voltage, current, power factor, frequency, etc. The monitoring data is collected by the sensor and transmitted to the monitoring center, which uses computer software to process and analyze the data. Set the parameter alarm value. When the monitoring parameter exceeds the alarm value, the system automatically sends an alarm signal to remind the operator to deal with it in time. For example, when the speed of the water wheel assembly 2 exceeds 120% of the rated speed, the speed sensor transmits the signal to the controller, and the controller triggers the alarm device to sound an alarm, and at the same time controls the brake motor 23 to start braking.
