[0023] In view of the problem that the existing technology lacks research on the impact resistance of steam turbines and their supporting structures under impact loads, the present invention provides a device and method for testing the impact resistance of steam turbines and their supporting structures, which uses an impact load waveform signal that can accurately simulate the impact load to perform impact testing on the steam turbine and its supporting structure.

[0024] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a device for testing the impact resistance of a steam turbine and its supporting structure according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the apparatus for testing the impact resistance of a steam turbine and its supporting structure according to an embodiment of the present application includes a computing and processing module 1, a fixture 2, a data acquisition system 3, a vibration and impact control console 4, a steam turbine scale model 5, and a vibration and impact platform 6. The steam turbine scale model 5 is fixed to the vibration and impact platform 6 via the fixture 2; the vibration and impact control console 4 outputs an impact load waveform signal to the vibration and impact platform 6, causing the vibration and impact platform 6 to generate a vibration response; the data acquisition system 3 collects strain data and acceleration data from the steam turbine scale model 5; and the computing and processing module 1 analyzes the strain and acceleration data to obtain the vibration characteristics of the steam turbine scale model 5.

[0026] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the steam turbine scale model 5 according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the steam turbine scale model 5 mainly includes a cylinder 502, a rotating shaft 503 and a bearing base 501. The installation method is the same as that of the steam turbine. The rotating shaft 503 passes through the cylinder 502 along the central axis of the cylinder 502. The cylinder 502 is supported by the bearing base 501. The bottom of the bearing base 501 is installed on the fixed tool 2. The structure of the fixed tool 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the fixture 2 comprises a rectangular steel plate 201 with a thickness of 5 cm and a shape and size similar to that of the Figure 4 The vibration impact table 6 shown is the same as the one shown. The rectangular steel plate 201 is surrounded by bolt holes 202. The size and distribution of the holes are identical to the fixing holes 601 on the vibration impact table 6. The fixing fixture 2 is secured to the vibration impact table 6 by bolts. Upward-facing bolts are pre-installed on the rectangular steel plate 201. The size and distribution of the bolts match the holes at the bottom of the bearing base 501. The bolts are passed through the bolt holes at the bottom of the bearing base 501 and secured with locknuts 504.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the data acquisition system 3 includes a data acquisition instrument 301, a strain gauge 302, and an acceleration sensor 303. The strain gauge 302 is a unidirectional strain gauge. The strain gauge 302 and the acceleration sensor 303 are arranged on the steam turbine scale model 5. The number and location of the strain gauges 302 and the acceleration sensor 303 can be determined according to requirements. Typically, the strain gauge 302 can be fixed with insulating tape and arranged respectively at the connection between the cylinder 502, the rotating shaft 503, and the bearing base 501 and the fixed fixture 2. The acceleration sensor 303 can be arranged respectively at the connection between the cylinder 502, the rotating shaft 503, the bearing base 501 and the fixed fixture 2, and the fixed fixture 2 by welding. The data acquisition instrument 301 is used to collect the output signals of the strain gauge 302 and the acceleration sensor 303 and send the collected signals to the calculation and processing module 1. The calculation and processing module 1 performs preprocessing such as denoising on the received data and analyzes the preprocessed data to obtain the impact resistance performance of the steam turbine scale model 5.

[0028] The vibration shock console 4 is connected to the vibration shock table 6 via a power cord. The vibration shock console 4 is capable of generating various forms of impact load waveform signals, which can be used as the power source for the vibration shock table 6. The vibration shock table 6 generates vibrations under the excitation of the impact load waveform signal and transmits the vibration response to the turbine scale model 5. The vibration condition of the vibration shock table 6 is consistent with the impact load waveform signal. The vibration shock table 6 is also equipped with a spring damping system, and the control signal of the spring damping system can also be given by the vibration shock console 4. The spring damping system can adjust the damping size of the system according to the requirements of different impact frequencies, thereby achieving the required stiffness and damping input, and simulating the response of the equipment to actual vibration.

[0029] Steam turbines can be used in a variety of scenarios. Taking a ship as an example, when a ship is hit, the steam turbine and its supporting structure (i.e., the bearing base 501) are impacted as a whole, and the impact is transmitted from the supporting structure to the cylinder and rotating shaft of the steam turbine. The steam turbine and its supporting structure impact resistance test device of the embodiment of the present application uses the steam turbine scale model 5 as a whole to impact the bearing base 501. The above device can simulate the real state of the steam turbine and its supporting structure under various load impacts. The stress and acceleration changes at the key positions of the steam turbine scale model 5 measured during the impact process can also truly reflect the stress and acceleration changes at the key positions of the steam turbine and its supporting structure under load impact, determine the impact load transfer law of the steam turbine under external load and the mechanical properties of the steam turbine, determine the weak position of the steam turbine based on the measured data and the damage of the steam turbine and its supporting structure, provide accurate data for the impact resistance research of the steam turbine and its supporting structure, and provide a basis for the optimized design of the steam turbine and its supporting structure.

[0030] An embodiment of the present application also provides a method for testing the impact resistance of a steam turbine and its supporting structure, the method comprising: obtaining a measured impact load waveform signal, and converting the impact load waveform signal into an electrical signal capable of driving a vibration table; using the electrical signal to drive the vibration table to output an impact load to the steam turbine and its supporting structure installed on the control vibration table; collecting stress data and acceleration data at specific positions on the steam turbine and its supporting structure; and analyzing the stress data and acceleration data to obtain the impact resistance of the steam turbine and its supporting structure.

[0031] Figure 6 This is a schematic flow chart of a method for testing the impact resistance of a steam turbine and its supporting structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method starts at step S610.

[0032] In step S610 , a measured impact load waveform signal is obtained.

[0033] Taking a marine steam turbine as an example, a scaled-down model of the ship was constructed using the same materials as the actual ship. Accelerometers were placed at the base of the turbine support structure on the scaled-down model. A load impact test was conducted on the scaled-down model. During the test, the accelerometer output data was collected and fitted to obtain a fitted acceleration waveform signal. This fitted acceleration waveform signal was then converted into an electrical signal capable of driving the vibration table. When the accelerometer output data exhibited complex trends, a segmented fitting approach was employed to ensure that the fitted acceleration waveform signal accurately reflected the acceleration changes at the base of the turbine support structure in the scaled-down model when subjected to a load impact.

[0034] This step can also change the strength, position and angle of the load impact, perform multiple load impacts on the ship scale model, obtain multiple acceleration waveform signals, and convert the multiple acceleration waveform signals into multiple electrical signals that can drive the vibration impact platform to vibrate.

[0035] This step can also include adjusting each acquired electrical signal appropriately to obtain a set of electrical signals for each type of impact load. For example, the amplitude of an electrical signal can be adjusted to simulate impact loads of different magnitudes at the same location and angle.

[0036] Next, in step S620 , the vibration shock table is driven by an electrical signal to output an impact load to the scaled model of the steam turbine mounted on the vibration shock table.

[0037] Typically, the vibration shock table is driven by a vibration shock console. The multiple sets of electrical signals obtained in the previous step are stored in the vibration shock console, which then outputs a driving signal to the vibration shock table based on the waveform of the electrical signal. The vibration shock table vibrates under the drive of the driving signal, thereby impacting the turbine scale model.

[0038] Next, in step S630, stress data and acceleration data at specific locations on the scaled model of the steam turbine are collected.

[0039] Stress sensors and acceleration sensors are arranged on the scaled model of the steam turbine. Specifically, sensors can be arranged on the cylinder, rotating shaft and supporting base. During the vibration of the vibration table, stress and acceleration data at three positions of the cylinder, rotating shaft and supporting base are collected.

[0040] Next, in step S640, the stress data and acceleration data are analyzed to obtain the impact resistance performance of the steam turbine and its supporting structure.

[0041] The collected sensor output data is denoised and converted into stress data and acceleration data. Based on the stress data and acceleration data, combined with the damage condition of the turbine scale model, the impact resistance of the turbine and its supporting structure is obtained.

[0042] Steps S620 to S640 can be implemented using the steam turbine and its supporting structure impact resistance testing device of the embodiment of the present application. By precisely controlling vibration parameters and combining multiple parameters such as damping, simulation of various working conditions such as explosion impact, swinging, shaking, and impact can be achieved.
