Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reciprocating piston compressor cylinders, in particular to a water channel-crossing work indicator hole structure of a reciprocating piston compressor and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Process reciprocating piston compressor is a general-purpose machine widely used in the petrochemical industry. It compresses and boosts the gas in a fixed volume cylinder body by driving the piston rod (piston body) through a crank-connecting rod mechanism. As the piston rod (piston body) keeps reciprocating, the gas pressure in the cylinder body changes periodically. In order to obtain the data of this periodic change and study the life of other accessories on the cylinder body, it is necessary to set a power indicator hole at the inner and outer dead points of the cylinder body to measure the pressure in the cylinder body. Figure 1 , where 1 is the outer dead center indicator hole, 2 is the cylinder, 3 is the piston body, and 4 is the inner dead center indicator hole.

[0003] As one of the compressor design standards, API618 has set requirements for the power indicator hole. Figure 2 In the figure, there are connected airway ribs between the inner and outer walls of the cylinder body, and the indicator bushing is screwed in through threads to compact the bottom flat gasket for sealing. However, if there are no airway ribs between the inner and outer walls of the cylinder body, the design of the indicator bushing must consider the sealing between the inner cavity 5 of the cylinder body and the middle water cavity 9, the outer wall 10 of the cylinder body and the atmosphere outside the outer layer of the cylinder body, such as Figure 3 .

[0004] like Figure 3 In the early design, the inner wall soft steel gasket 7 of the cylinder body is used to seal the inner cavity 5 of the cylinder body and the middle water cavity 9, and the middle water cavity 9 and the outer outer layer of the cylinder body are sealed by the O-ring 11. However, due to the release of heat after the gas in the cylinder body is compressed and the vibration caused by the movement of the piston body, the distance between the inner wall 8 of the cylinder body and the outer wall 10 of the cylinder body will change, so that the inner wall soft steel gasket 7 of the cylinder body is not pressed firmly, causing the gas in the inner cavity 5 of the cylinder body in the cylinder sleeve 6 to enter the middle water cavity 9 or the water in the middle water cavity 9 to enter the inner cavity 5 of the cylinder body. In addition, when the indicator hole bushing 12 is screwed into the cylinder body through the thread, the O-ring 11 performs a swirling motion and is easily damaged, causing the leakage of the middle water cavity 9 and the outer outer layer of the cylinder body. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a water channel indicator hole structure for a reciprocating piston compressor, which can effectively ensure sealing, has high reliability and is easy to install, and also provides a corresponding design method.

[0006] The technical scheme is as follows: a reciprocating piston compressor water channel indicator hole structure, which includes a cylinder liner, a cylinder inner wall, and a cylinder outer wall, an intermediate water cavity is arranged between the cylinder inner wall and the cylinder outer wall, the inner side of the cylinder liner is the cylinder inner cavity, the cylinder liner and the cylinder inner wall are provided with an indicator hole inner sealing step hole, and the cylinder outer wall is provided with an indicator hole outer sealing step hole, characterized in that the indicator hole inner sealing step hole and the indicator hole outer sealing step hole are provided with a sealing The indicator hole connecting rod is provided with a connecting rod shoulder and is separated into a sealing section and a fixed section. A soft steel flat washer is provided between the connecting rod shoulder and the step surface of the sealing step hole outside the indicator hole. O-rings are provided between the sealing section and the inner wall of the large diameter section of the sealing step hole inside the indicator hole and the inner wall of the small diameter section of the sealing step hole outside the indicator hole. A clamping nut is sleeved on the fixed section to clamp the connecting rod shoulder, and the outer peripheral surface of the clamping nut is threadedly matched with the inner wall of the large diameter section of the sealing step hole outside the indicator hole.

[0007] It is further characterized in that the sealing section is provided with three O-ring grooves, the O-ring is embedded in the O-ring grooves, one of which is located at the large diameter section of the sealing step hole inside the power indicator hole, and the remaining two are located at the small diameter section of the sealing step hole outside the power indicator hole; The end of the sealing section is provided with a guide cone surface; The clamping nut is provided with a spanner flat surface.

[0008] A design method for a power indicator hole of a reciprocating piston compressor passing through a water channel, characterized in that the hole diameters of the large diameter section of the sealing step hole inside the power indicator hole and the small diameter section of the sealing step hole outside the power indicator hole are both d, the step surface distance between the sealing step hole inside the power indicator hole and the sealing step hole outside the power indicator hole is L, the thread size of the inner wall of the large diameter section of the sealing step hole outside the power indicator hole is M, the outer diameter of the sealing section of the power indicator hole connecting rod is d1, the length of the sealing section of the power indicator hole connecting rod is L1, the outer diameter of the connecting rod shoulder of the power indicator hole connecting rod is D, the outer diameter of the fixed section of the power indicator hole connecting rod is d2, the outer thread size of the clamping nut is M1, and the center hole diameter of the clamping nut is d3, and the above parameters meet the following conditions: L1=L+1~3 mm; D=M-3~5 mm; M1=M mm, d1=d mm, d3=d2+0.5~2 mm.

[0009] The invention is further characterized in that the guide cone angle β of the sealing section end of the power indicator hole connecting rod is 15-30 degrees.

[0010] After adopting the present invention, the O-ring and the mild steel flat gasket are used at the same time, which can achieve both axial sealing and radial sealing. Even if the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall of the cylinder body changes, the radial sealing of the O-ring can prevent leakage between the layers, and the sealing reliability is high. In addition, the indicator hole connecting rod reaches the inner wall of the cylinder body through the clamping nut, and there is no need to overcome the resistance of the rotating O-ring, so the installation is convenient.
