Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of gas turbines, and particularly relates to a hot-end load-bearing frame of an air-cooled straight support plate gas turbine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a load-bearing component of a gas turbine, the load-bearing frame is used to support and transfer the load of the rotor, and to transfer the load of the rotor from the bearing seat to the outer load-bearing casing. The load-bearing frame is usually composed of an outer load-bearing casing, an inner load-bearing casing, a certain number of support plates, a bearing seat, and a sealing structure, etc. The support plate, as the main load-bearing structure passing through the main flow passage, not only ensures rigidity and stability, but also provides air induction, oil supply and return, and ventilation paths.

[0003] Affected by the temperature gradient of the main flow passage, the hot-end load-bearing frame needs to have corresponding thermal deformation coordination capability. Once local thermal deformation is not coordinated, it may affect the bearing point concentricity and thus cause vibration. In severe cases, it may even cause cracks in the load-bearing frame, affecting the safe operation of the gas turbine. In addition, affected by the high-temperature gas heat radiation of the main flow and the heat conduction of the inner load-bearing casing, the surface temperature of the bearing seat in the hot-end load-bearing frame often rises with the increase of the working condition of the gas turbine, causing the temperature of the lubricating oil medium in the bearing cavity to continuously rise, reducing the viscosity of the lubricating oil, and accelerating the wear of the bearings, gears and other moving pairs.

[0004] The existing hot-end load-bearing frame of a gas turbine usually adopts the mode of integral casting or welding processing of the inner and outer load-bearing casings and the support plates. For small-batch engines, especially in the development stage, due to the high cost, high scrap rate and easy casting defects of integral casting, the inner and outer load-bearing casings and the support plates are usually welded together. The inclined support plate can adjust the relative thermal expansion difference of the load-bearing casing, and is the first choice of support plate form. However, since it is a welded structure, the machining precision and dimensional stability are reduced, and welding stress is also easy to produce, which reduces the load-carrying capacity of the component, and in severe cases, cracks may occur, causing safety accidents.

[0005] In addition, the bearing seat and the inner load-bearing casing of the existing hot-end load-bearing frame of a gas turbine are usually positioned by a stop centering and bolt tightening. When the gas turbine is in a high working condition or a transition state, the temperature gradient of the inner load-bearing casing and the bearing seat is large, and the matching stop port is easy to separate, causing instability of the rotor support system and vibration. In addition, due to the high surface temperature of the bearing seat, the lubricating oil medium in the bearing cavity is easy to overheat due to the influence of heat radiation, so there are many limitations in the selection of lubricating oil grades, and high-temperature 4010 and 4050 lubricating oils are often used, which has great limitations.

[0067] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] The application provides a gas-cooled straight support plate gas turbine hot-end force frame, which can effectively improve the thermal deformation coordination capability among the support plate, inner / outer force casings and bearing seat, and can inhibit the temperature level of the sliding oil medium in the bearing cavity.

[0069] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 6 The application provides a gas-cooled straight support plate gas turbine hot-end force frame 100, which comprises an outer force casing 1, an inner force casing 2, a straight support plate 3 and a cold link pipe 4.

[0070] The outer force casing 1 is arranged outside the inner force casing 2, and both are cylindrical structures. The outer force casing 1 and the inner force casing 2 are supported by the straight support plate 3. The straight support plate 3 is a group of hollow structure gas-cooled support plates, and the number thereof can be determined according to the stiffness of the force frame and the functional requirements (oil supply / oil return, bearing cavity ventilation, air induction, etc.) of the support plates. The cold link pipe 4 is a double-row pipeline, which connects adjacent straight support plates 3 and is used for introducing sealing air into the hollow structures of the remaining straight support plates 3 to achieve cooling of the remaining straight support plates 3. In the embodiment of the application, the number of straight support plates 3 is 8.

[0071] The application is described by taking the functions of oil supply, oil return and sealing air induction as examples in the following embodiments. It can be understood that the force frame 100 of the application can increase axial force balance flow paths, bearing cavity ventilation flow paths and the like according to the requirements of the air system and the sliding oil system, and the number and types of functional support plates can be adjusted accordingly.

[0072] The force frame 100 of the embodiment of the application comprises an oil supply pipe 11, an oil return pipe 12 and a fulcrum sealing air pipe 13, which are arranged between the outer force casing 1 and the inner force casing 2 to provide oil supply / oil return channels and sealing air channels. The inner side of the inner force casing 2 is provided with a bearing seat 21, a graphite sealing device 22 and a front sealing ring 23. The bearing seat 21 and the graphite sealing device 22 can form a bearing cavity therebetween, and the graphite sealing device 22 and the front sealing ring 23 can form a sealing cavity therebetween.

[0073] The straight support plate 3 in the application comprises functional support plates and non-functional support plates, and both types of support plates are hollow multi-chamber structures and are alternately distributed in the circumferential direction. In the embodiment of the application, the functional support plates are divided into two types according to the structural differences of the internal cavities of the support plates. One type is an oil supply support plate 31 and an oil return support plate 32 for oil supply and oil return, and the other type is a sealing support plate 33 for air induction.

[0074] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 and Figure 3The oil supply support plate 31 is internally provided with three chambers extending along the length direction of the support plate, i.e. an oil supply pipe chamber 311 in the middle for the oil supply pipe 11 to pass through, and an oil supply support plate front chamber 312 and an oil supply support plate rear chamber 313 located on the two sides of the oil supply pipe chamber 311. The oil supply support plate front chamber 312 and the oil supply support plate rear chamber 313 are in communication with the oil supply pipe chamber 311 through oil supply support plate through holes 315. The oil supply support plate front chamber 312 and the oil supply support plate rear chamber 313 are each provided with an oil supply support plate cold joint pipe mounting hole 314, and the cold joint pipe 4 is mounted on the oil supply support plate cold joint pipe mounting hole 314 to be connected with the adjacent non-functional support plate, so as to realize the circumferential mutual communication of the support plates. The cold gas flows into the oil supply support plate front chamber 312 and the oil supply support plate rear chamber 313 from the cold joint pipe 4, enters the oil supply pipe chamber 311 through the oil supply support plate through holes 315, cools the oil supply pipe 11 in the oil supply pipe chamber 311, and then flows into the bearing seat outer cavity along the oil supply pipe chamber 311.

[0075] The oil supply support plate 31 of the present application utilizes the cold gas passage to realize support plate cooling, improves the working environment, improves the structural stability and service life, and coordinates the deformation coordination between the inner and outer force casings and the support plate. The middle oil supply pipe chamber 311 is physically isolated from the front and rear chambers by the partition rib, provides an oil supply passage, and realizes the bearing cavity oil supply function. The oil supply pipe chamber 311 is in communication with the outer cavity of the bearing seat 21, and the multiple groups of oil supply support plate through holes 315 provided on the partition rib form impact cold gas holes, which reduce the pipeline temperature level in the middle oil supply pipe chamber 311 and form a cooling gas film wrapped around the bearing seat 21 periphery, so as to realize the cooling and uniform temperature of the bearing cavity oil medium.

[0076] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, the oil supply support plate cold joint pipe mounting holes 314 on the oil supply support plate front chamber 312 and the oil supply support plate rear chamber 313 are distributed on the two sides of the oil supply support plate.

[0077] As Figure 4The diagram shows the installation structure of the return oil support plate in this application. The return oil support plate 32 has the same structure as the supply oil support plate 31. The return oil support plate 32 has three chambers extending along its length: a return oil pipe chamber in the middle for the return oil pipe 12 to pass through, and a front and rear chamber located on either side of the return oil pipe chamber. The front and rear chambers are connected to the return oil pipe chamber through through holes in the return oil support plate. Both the front and rear chambers have cold connection pipe installation ports. The cold connection pipe 4 is installed on these ports and connects to adjacent non-functional support plates, achieving circumferential interconnection between the support plates. Cold air flows from the cold connecting pipe 4 into the front chamber and rear chamber of the return oil support plate. After passing through the through hole of the return oil support plate, it enters the return oil pipe chamber, cools the return oil pipe 12 in the return oil pipe chamber, and then flows along the return oil pipe chamber to the outer cavity of the bearing housing, forming a cooling air film that wraps around the bearing housing, thereby achieving uniform cooling of the lubricating oil medium in the bearing cavity.

[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagram shows the sealing support plate installation structure and its cross-sectional view in this application. The sealing support plate 33 has three chambers extending along the length of the support plate: the air intake pipe chamber 331 and the sealing support plate front chamber 332 and sealing support plate rear chamber 333 located on the front and rear sides of the air intake pipe chamber 331. The sealing support plate front chamber 332 and sealing support plate rear chamber 333 are connected to the air intake pipe chamber 331 at the root and tip of the sealing support plate, respectively, thus forming a zigzag flow channel. The top and bottom of the air intake pipe chamber 331 are connected to the sealing air intake pipe 13. The sealing support plate front chamber 332 and sealing support plate rear chamber 333 are both provided with sealing support plate cold connection pipe installation ports 334. The cold connection pipe 4 is installed on the sealing support plate cold connection pipe installation port 334 and connected to the adjacent non-functional support plate to realize the circumferential interconnection of the support plates. The cooling air introduced through the sealed air intake pipe 13 flows along the air intake pipe chamber 331 to the front chamber 332 and the rear chamber 333 of the sealed support plate on both sides, and then flows into the cold connection pipe 4; the other part flows into the sealed chamber from the sealed air intake pipe 13 at the bottom of the air intake pipe chamber 331.

[0079] The sealing support plate 33 of this application utilizes a folded flow channel to achieve cooling of the support plate and coordinate the deformation between the inner and outer load-bearing casings and the support plate. The bottom of the intermediate air venting chamber 331 is provided with a stepped hole for installing the sealing air venting pipe 13 to realize the air venting function of the sealing chamber.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the sealing support plate cold connection pipe mounting ports 334 on the front chamber 332 and the rear chamber 333 of the sealing support plate are distributed on both sides of the sealing support plate.

[0081] Such as 7 and Figure 8The non-functional support plate installation structure and its cross-sectional schematic diagram in the application are shown. The remaining sealing support plate 33 structure is similar, except that the middle chamber of the non-functional support plate does not provide a pipeline passage. Specifically, the non-functional support plate has three chambers extending along the length direction of the support plate, i.e., a middle chamber 341 and a non-functional support plate front chamber 342 and a non-functional support plate rear chamber 343 located on the front and rear sides of the middle chamber 341. The non-functional support plate front chamber 342 and the non-functional support plate rear chamber 343 are respectively communicated with the middle chamber 341 at the support plate root and the tip, thereby forming a turn-back flow channel. The non-functional support plate front chamber 342 and the non-functional support plate rear chamber 343 are each provided with a non-functional support plate cold joint pipe installation port 344. The cold joint pipe 4 is installed on the non-functional support plate cold joint pipe installation port 344 and connected with the adjacent functional support plate, so as to realize the circumferential mutual communication of the support plates.

[0082] The non-functional support plate 34 of the application utilizes the turn-back flow channel in the support plate to realize support plate cooling and coordinate the deformation coordination between the inner and outer force casings and the support plate. Compared with the functional support plate, the middle chamber of the non-functional support plate does not provide a pipeline passage, but is communicated with the front and rear chambers.

[0083] In the preferred embodiment of the application, the non-functional support plate cold joint pipe installation ports 344 on the non-functional support plate front chamber 342 and the non-functional support plate rear chamber 343 are distributed on both sides of the non-functional support plate.

[0084] In addition, the non-functional support plate 34 in the application is a group of independent detachable support plates. The inner side of each non-functional support plate 34 is fixed to the inner force casing 2 by 2 circumferentially arranged pin shafts 14. A joint bearing 15 is installed between the pin shaft 14 and the non-functional support plate 35, so as to eliminate the "fighting" condition of the inner and outer force casings caused by the uncoordinated thermal deformation, thereby reducing the risk of cracks or even fracture of the support plate due to stress concentration.

[0085] In the application, the outer side of each straight support plate 3 is fixedly connected with the outer force casing 1 through 1 axial positioning bushing 16 and 2 radial tension bolts 17. The independent detachable structure of the straight support plate 3 avoids the welding stress caused by the welding of the welded structure straight support plate 3 and the force casing, and overcomes the problems of high single unit cost, high scrap rate and easy casting defects of the integral casting structure straight support plate 3 and the force casing.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the bearing seat 21 and the inner force bearing casing 2 are connected by a way of stop port centering and screw tightening. The stop port ensures the assembly quality in cold assembly. In high working conditions or transition state, the stop port matching surface of the inner force bearing casing 2 and the bearing seat 21 is not easy to separate due to the cooling airflow of the middle chamber of the oil supply and return support plate, thereby improving the stability of the rotor support system and ensuring the centering stability and reliability in the working state of the gas turbine. At the same time, the bearing seat 21 and the bearing outer ring 211 are made of materials with similar linear expansion coefficients as much as possible to reduce the deformation incoordination between the bearing seat 21 and the bearing outer ring 211.

[0087] The air-cooled straight support plate gas turbine hot-end casing force bearing frame provided by the present application has a hollow structure and a straight support plate force bearing frame that can be independently disassembled, and solves the problems of thermal deformation incoordination between the support plate, the inner / outer force bearing casing and the bearing seat, the limitation of oil grade, and the problems of high cost, high scrap rate and easy casting defects of the integral casting of the support plate and the force bearing casing of the small-batch hot-end force bearing frame.

[0088] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
