[0002] A steam turbine is an important power generation equipment, and the safety oil system is an important hydraulic medium of the steam turbine. When the steam turbine is in a dangerous working condition, the safety oil is drained through the shutdown protection device to make the steam turbine shut down safely.
[0003] Currently, the shutdown protection device for the safety oil system of a steam turbine uses one or two solenoid valves. When the solenoid valve fails, there is a risk of mis-shutdown and inability to quickly shut down the steam turbine. Moreover, the intact state of the solenoid valve cannot be tested regularly. Relevant specifications require protecting the steam turbine from tripping when the control power is lost. The solenoid valve is in a long-term energized state.

[0017] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the principle of a shutdown protection device for a steam turbine safety oil system according to one or more embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.
[0019] Before describing the various embodiments of the present application in detail, the technical concept of the present application will be briefly described first: At present, the shutdown protection device of the steam turbine safety oil system uses one or two solenoid valves. When the solenoid valve fails, there is a risk of mis-shutdown and inability to quickly shut down the steam turbine, and the intact state of the solenoid valve cannot be regularly tested. For this reason, the present application provides a shutdown protection device for the steam turbine safety oil system, in which a number of parallel oil discharge circuits are provided between the safety oil pipeline and the return oil pipeline. Each oil discharge circuit has two solenoid valves and a pressure transmitter. On the one hand, when a single solenoid valve in a certain oil discharge circuit fails, the other oil discharge circuits can be used to ensure the smoothness of the safety oil system circuit. On the other hand, the state of the solenoid valve can be tested by the change in the oil pressure reading of the pressure transmitter. The following describes the specific principle of the shutdown protection device of the steam turbine safety oil system of the present application in combination with more embodiments.
[0020] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the shutdown protection device of the steam turbine safety oil system in the first embodiment includes a safety oil pipeline 10, an oil discharge channel 20, and a return oil pipeline 30 that are connected in sequence. The oil discharge channel 20 includes a number of parallel oil discharge circuits. Each oil discharge circuit includes two solenoid valves connected in series and a pressure transmitter on the oil pipeline between the two solenoid valves. Each solenoid valve is a single-control two-position four-way solenoid valve. When the steam turbine is in a normal operating state, each solenoid valve is in an energized operating state, and each oil discharge circuit is in an open state; when the steam turbine is in an abnormal operating state, each solenoid valve is in a de-energized operating state, and each oil discharge circuit is in a conducting state. At this time, the safety oil pipeline 10 and the return oil pipeline 30 are conducted, and the safety oil can be discharged in time.
[0021] In one or more embodiments, the oil discharge channel 20 includes a first oil discharge circuit 21, a second oil discharge circuit 22, and a third oil discharge circuit 23. The second oil discharge circuit 22 is connected in parallel with the first oil discharge circuit 21, and the third oil discharge circuit 23 is connected in parallel with the first oil discharge circuit 21. The first oil discharge circuit 21 includes a first solenoid valve 41 and a second solenoid valve 42 connected in series and a first pressure transmitter 51. The first pressure transmitter 51 is installed on the oil pipeline between the first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42; the second oil discharge circuit 22 includes a second solenoid valve 42 and a third solenoid valve 43 connected in series and a second pressure transmitter 52. The second pressure transmitter 52 is installed on the oil pipeline between the second solenoid valve 42 and the third solenoid valve 43; the third oil discharge circuit 23 includes a third solenoid valve 43 and a first solenoid valve 41 connected in series and a third pressure transmitter 53. The third pressure transmitter 53 is installed on the oil pipeline between the third solenoid valve 43 and the first solenoid valve 41.
[0022] On the one hand, when one of the solenoid valves fails and the other two solenoid valves are working properly, it can ensure that one oil drain circuit is in a conducting state, thus conducting the safety oil pipeline 10 and the oil return pipeline 30. On the other hand, only when the two solenoid valves on each oil drain circuit are de-energized will the oil drain circuit be conducted, avoiding the incorrect conduction of the oil drain circuit due to the misoperation of a certain solenoid valve and improving the reliability. At the same time, by using three solenoid valves to form three parallel oil drain circuits, the number of solenoid valves is minimized to the greatest extent, which is beneficial to reducing costs.
[0023] Exemplarily, when testing the first solenoid valve 41, the steam turbine is in a normal operating state, and the first solenoid valve 41 is adjusted to operate when de-energized. The oil pressure reading of the first pressure transmitter 51 increases. Since the second solenoid valve 42 is energized, the first oil drain circuit 21 is not conducted at this time and is filled with safety oil, and the oil pressure in the oil pipeline increases. If the first oil drain circuit 21 is conducted, the oil pressure will decrease, and it will continue to decrease as the oil volume decreases. When the first oil drain circuit 21 is completely cut off and there is no safety oil, the oil pressure is zero at this time. Therefore, the state of the first solenoid valve 41 can be tested and detected through the change of the oil pressure reading of the first pressure transmitter 51, and at the same time, the conduction condition of the first oil drain circuit 21 is monitored. In addition, in the normal operating state, there is no safety oil in the first oil drain circuit 21. If the oil pressure reading of the first pressure transmitter 51 suddenly increases, it indicates that the first solenoid valve 41 has failed, so as to monitor the state of the first solenoid valve 41 in time.
[0024] Similarly, when testing the second solenoid valve 42, the steam turbine is in a normal operating state, and the second solenoid valve 42 is adjusted to operate when de-energized, and the oil pressure reading of the third pressure transmitter 53 increases. When testing the third solenoid valve 43, the steam turbine is in a normal operating state, and the third solenoid valve 43 is adjusted to operate when de-energized, and the oil pressure reading of the third pressure transmitter 53 increases. The test process and monitoring method of the second solenoid valve 42 and the third solenoid valve 43 can refer to the relevant description of the first solenoid valve 41.
[0025] The shutdown protection device of the steam turbine safety oil system of this embodiment has the following technical effects:
[0026] (1) By setting multiple parallel oil drain circuits, when a single solenoid valve in a certain oil drain circuit fails, the smoothness of the safety oil system circuit can be ensured through other oil drain circuits.
[0027] (2) In the normal operating state of the steam turbine, the state of the solenoid valve can be tested through the change of the oil pressure reading of the pressure transmitter. In addition, when the solenoid valve fails, it can be detected in time.
[0028] The specific embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above. Although some embodiments have been shown and described, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments can be modified and improved without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application as defined by the claims and their equivalents, and such modifications and improvements should also be within the protection scope of the present application.
