Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of expanders, and in particular to an assembly method of a main shaft push-pull tooling and a thrust plate. Background Art

[0002] At present, an organic working fluid expander is a rotary power machine that converts the energy of an organic working fluid into mechanical work, and is mainly used for low-temperature heat recovery and power generation. The thrust plate of the organic working fluid expander is a flat disc-shaped part, which is installed between the thrust bearing and the auxiliary thrust bearing, and is used to bear the axial thrust, so that the axial force is transmitted to the supporting structure along the axis. At the same time, the thrust plate also serves as a speed measuring gear, and cooperates with a speed sensor to measure the speed of the rotor; the size of the dynamic and static clearance is one of the key factors affecting the aerodynamic efficiency of the organic working fluid expander. If the dynamic and static clearance is too large, the aerodynamic efficiency will be greatly reduced; if the dynamic and static clearance is too small, the unit may produce contact wear during operation, increase vibration, and may cause blade breakage, impeller damage, and nozzle partition deformation in severe cases. The size of the thrust clearance is also crucial in the operation of the expander. If the thrust clearance is too large, not only will the axial clearance change of the flow-through part increase when the rotor thrust changes directionally, but it will also have an excessive impact on the thrust pad, and even fail to protect the dynamic and static parts from mutual friction, making the rotor axial position unstable; if the thrust clearance is too small, the friction loss and pad load of the pad will increase.

[0003] In the prior art, the dynamic and static clearance of the flow-through part can be measured by pushing and pulling the main shaft. After the thrust plate and the thrust bearing are installed, the main shaft is pushed and pulled again, and the thrust clearance and the maximum and minimum dynamic and static clearances of the rotor can be measured and calculated.

[0004] However, in the prior art, for large units, the push and pull of the main shaft is performed only by manpower, which is not only difficult but also requires multiple people to operate, which is easy to cause damage to the radial bearing, etc., and the measurement results are unstable and inaccurate. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a spindle push-pull tooling and thrust plate assembly method, aiming to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the spindle of a large unit is pushed and pulled only by manpower, which is not only difficult to work, but also requires multiple people to operate, easily causing damage to radial bearings, etc., and the measurement results are unstable and inaccurate.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts a method for assembling a main shaft push-pull tool and a thrust plate, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Install the expander in order, including the bearing seat, intake cylinder, nozzle ring seat, nozzle ring, turbine rotor assembly, exhaust cylinder, first bearing support, second bearing support, half coupling, half coupling locking nut, push-pull spindle bracket, push-pull spindle screw and fixing plate; Step 2: Use a magnetic micrometer to measure the A and B values ​​of the dynamic and static clearances; Step 3: Install the thrust plate, thrust plate key, thrust plate locating ring, thrust plate locking ring and thrust plate outer locking nut on the expander in sequence; Step 4: Place the magnetic micrometer on the non-connected end face of the spindle, push the spindle toward the non-connected end by rotating the nut, record the measured dimension as C, calculate the dynamic and static clearances between the connected end and the non-connected end, push and pull the spindle back and forth, and measure the thrust clearance value, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

[0007] Among them, in the step one, first assemble the bearing seat and the intake cylinder of the expander, and then assemble the nozzle ring seat, the nozzle ring and the turbine rotor assembly, and then assemble the exhaust cylinder, assemble the intake cylinder and the mid-surface saddle pin of the exhaust cylinder, and then firmly install the first bearing support and the second bearing support, and then assemble the half-coupling and the half-coupling locking nut, and then firmly install the push-pull main shaft bracket on the bearing seat and fasten it with bolts, and assemble the push-pull main shaft screw, pass it through the push-pull main shaft bracket, and the fixing plate is installed on the half-coupling locking nut, fastened with bolts, and an adjustment nut is installed on the threaded end.

[0008] Among them, in the step 2, the A / B value is measured, the magnetic micrometer is fixed to the mounting surface of the exhaust cylinder sealing end cover plate, the meter head is placed on the non-connected end face of the main shaft, and the push-pull main shaft screw is in contact with the push-pull main shaft bracket through a nut. The main shaft is pushed and pulled by rotating the nut to obtain the maximum push-pull value, respectively. The micrometer is used to read the value, and the A value and B value of the dynamic and static clearance value of the flow-through part can be measured. The A value is the maximum value when the main shaft is pulled toward the connected end, and the B value is the minimum value when the main shaft is pushed toward the non-connected end.

[0009] Among them, in the step three, remove the magnetic micrometer, the push-pull spindle bracket, the push-pull spindle screw, the half-coupling and the half-coupling locking nut, and then assemble the thrust plate, the thrust plate key, the thrust plate positioning ring, the thrust plate locking ring and the thrust plate outer locking nut, first install the thrust plate key into the corresponding keyway on the spindle, and then install the thrust plate, make the thrust plate contact with the first bearing support end face, assemble the thrust plate positioning ring in the corresponding ring groove position on the spindle, and install the thrust plate locking ring The thrust plate locking ring is matched with the thrust plate locating ring through the end face to determine the axial position, and then the countersunk hole on the thrust plate locking ring is aligned with the screw hole on the thrust plate, and the spring washer and the hexagon socket bolt are installed. The thrust plate is pulled toward the thrust plate locking ring by tightening the bolts, and the thrust plate and the thrust plate outer locking nut are matched and locked with the thrust plate locking ring. The auxiliary thrust bearing and the connecting end cover plate are assembled on the bearing seat, and then the half-coupling, the half-coupling locking nut, the push-pull spindle bracket and the push-pull spindle screw are assembled.

[0010] Among them, in the step four, the magnetic micrometer is fixed to the mounting surface of the exhaust cylinder sealing end cover plate, the gauge head is placed on the non-connected end face of the main shaft, and the push-pull main shaft screw is in contact with the push-pull main shaft bracket through a nut. The main shaft is pushed toward the non-connected end by rotating the nut, and the measured dimension is recorded as C. The dynamic and static clearances between the connecting end and the non-connected end are calculated, and the dynamic and static clearances of the connecting end are L1=AC, and the dynamic and static clearances of the non-connected end are L2=CB. By rotating the nut, cooperating with the push-pull main shaft screw and the push-pull main shaft bracket, the main shaft is pushed and pulled back and forth, and the thrust clearance value, that is, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value, can be measured.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the main shaft push-pull tooling and thrust plate assembly method of the present invention are: ensuring the dynamic and static clearance values ​​of the expander, avoiding dynamic and static clearance deviations caused by processing errors, ensuring aerodynamic efficiency and stable operation to the greatest extent, and also solving the problem of difficult assembly of key components of the expander.
