Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gas turbines, and particularly relates to an expansion absorption device and a gas turbine exhaust system. Background Art
[0002] The expansion absorption device in the gas turbine exhaust system traditionally relies on the bellows structure for displacement compensation and energy absorption. The bellows absorbs axial displacement and a small amount of lateral displacement through elastic deformation, but it has significant defects: 1. Limited buffering capacity: The dynamic impact generated by high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust is likely to cause stress concentration in the bellows, and fatigue cracks, deformation, and even fracture are likely to occur after long-term use, reducing the reliability of the system; 2. Low exhaust guiding efficiency: The bellows structure lacks a directional flow guiding design, and the exhaust energy is dispersed, unable to be effectively converted into utilizable mechanical work, resulting in energy waste; 3. High maintenance cost: The bellows is an integral structure, and local damage requires overall replacement, and the disassembly and assembly process is complex, resulting in a long downtime; Although there are improvement schemes in the prior art (such as multi-layer bellows or ribbed design), they still cannot balance the buffering performance, energy conversion efficiency, and modular maintenance requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to design an expansion absorption device and a gas turbine exhaust system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an expansion absorption device and a gas turbine exhaust system, including an expansion absorption main body 1, the expansion absorption main body 1 includes a flange connecting plate 11, a connecting flange piece 13, and a split partition plate 12 installed between the flange connecting plate 11 and the connecting flange piece 13. An expansion absorption sub-shell 2 is installed between the split partition plates 12, and an exhaust mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the connecting flange piece 13; The expansion absorption sub-shell 2 includes an outer sealing plate 21 and an inner positioning plate 22. A gas guiding seat 26 is fixedly welded between the outer sealing plate 21 and the inner positioning plate 22. A gas guiding channel 23 is installed inside the gas guiding seat 26. A buffer airbag seat 27 is arranged outside the gas guiding channel 23. A buffer airbag pad 28 is arranged on one side of the buffer airbag seat 27. The buffer airbag seat 27 and the buffer airbag pad 28 are interconnected through a connecting pipe. A resilient exhaust piece 25 is arranged on one side of the buffer airbag pad 28. A guiding exhaust port 29 is formed on the surface of the inner positioning plate 22. When gas passes through the gas guiding channel 23, it is pressed against the buffer airbag seat 27 by the force, and the buffer airbag pad 28 is connected through the connecting pipe to be stressed and buffered, thereby reducing the impact received; The resilient exhaust piece 25 and the buffer airbag pad 28 are symmetrically installed inside the gas guiding seat 26. The positions of one opening of the gas guiding channel 23 and the guiding exhaust port 29 correspond to the position of the resilient exhaust piece 25. A gas guiding piece 24 is arranged inside the gas guiding channel 23, and the lengths of the gas guiding pieces 24 increase in sequence. During use, after being blocked and guided by the gas guiding piece 24, it blows towards the resilient exhaust piece 25, and the resilient exhaust piece 25 blows open and is guided through the guiding exhaust port 29 to blow towards the exhaust mechanism 3.
[0020] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 7 , ventilation openings 262 are formed on the surfaces of the split partition plate 12 and the gas guiding seat 26. A sealing gasket 261 is arranged on one side of the gas guiding seat 26. During use, it is convenient to seal the outside of the gas guiding seat 26, thereby making the ventilation more stable during use; the buffer airbag pad 28 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the gas guiding seat 26, and both sides of the gas guiding channel 23 and the resilient exhaust piece 25 are located between the buffer airbag pads 28. During use, it is convenient for gas to flow into the buffer airbag pad 28 to be buffered when stressed; one end of the air inlet pipe 14 is communicated with one end of the gas guiding channel 23, and the expansion absorption sub-shells 2 are interconnected through the gas guiding channel 23. During use, it is convenient for ventilation and exhaust.
[0021] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: During use, it is buffered by the buffer airbag seat 27 supporting outside the gas guiding channel 23. The buffer airbag pad 28 is installed on one side of the buffer airbag seat 27. When the buffer airbag seat 27 is stressed, gas enters the buffer airbag pad 28 and presses on the resilient exhaust piece 25 at the same time, ensuring that the buffering effect can be further enhanced during use, and cooperating with the guiding exhaust port 29 to facilitate quickly guiding the discharge direction.
[0022] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, on the basis of the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution: a connecting support protrusion 16 is provided on one side of the flange connecting plate 11 and the connecting flange plate 13, and the outer sealing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the connecting support protrusion 16 by bolts. During use, the outer sealing plate 21 can be conveniently and quickly connected through the connecting support protrusion 16, thus facilitating disassembly, maintenance, and replacement; both ends of the split partition plate 12 are welded and fixed to the flange connecting plate 11 and the connecting flange plate 13. An air inlet pipe 14 is provided on one side of the expansion absorption sub-shell 2, and an exhaust pipe 15 is provided on one side of the flange connecting plate 11, which is convenient for air intake and exhaust during use.
[0023] For the expansion absorption sub-shell 2 adopting the above technical solution, during use, the expansion absorption sub-shell 2 is separated and installed through the split partition plate 12. When components such as the elastic exhaust sheet 25 or the buffer airbag seat 27 in the expansion absorption sub-shell 2 malfunction after long-term use, the damaged part can be replaced, and there is no need to replace all of them, reducing the maintenance cost.
[0024] Further, reference can be made to Figures 1 to 7 , the exhaust mechanism 3 includes an exhaust column 31 installed on the flange connecting plate 11. Exhaust holes 32 are provided on the surface of the exhaust column 31. One end of the exhaust column 31 is rotatably installed with a rotating seat 33, and a rotating fan 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating seat 33. During use, the rotating seat 33 is connected to the main shaft of the machine body, and the rotating fan 34 is rotatably installed on the exhaust column 31 through the rotating seat 33, and air is introduced into the exhaust column 31 through the exhaust holes 32; the inner cavity of the exhaust column 31 is communicated with the exhaust pipe 15, and the exhaust holes 32 are communicated with the inner cavity of the exhaust column 31, which is convenient for exhausting air outward during use. The orientation of the guiding exhaust port 29 corresponds to the position of the rotating fan 34 and is tangent to the outer edge of the rotating fan 34, which is convenient for driving the rotating fan 34 to rotate and converting air energy into mechanical energy during use.
[0025] For the exhaust mechanism 3 adopting the above technical solution, during use, the expansion absorption sub-shell 2 is separated through the cooperation of the exhaust column 31 and the split partition plate 12, and exhaust is carried out through the exhaust holes 32. Moreover, when exhausting, the rotating fan 34 and the rotating seat 33 are driven to rotate, thus converting the exhaust energy into mechanical work, which is more convenient during the conversion.
[0026] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: During use, the connecting flange 13 and screws are installed on the machine body. The intake pipe 14 intakes air into the expansion absorption main body 1, and then the gas enters the air guiding channel 23. After being blocked and guided by the air guiding piece 24, it blows towards the elastic exhaust piece 25. The air guiding channels 23 between the expansion absorption sub-cases 2 are ensured to communicate with each other through the ventilation ports 262. When the gas passes through the air guiding channel 23, it is pressed against the buffer airbag seat 27 by the force, and the buffer airbag pad 28 is connected through a connecting pipe to conduct force buffering, thereby reducing the impact received. Moreover, the gas blows open the elastic exhaust piece 25 and is guided by the guiding exhaust port 29 to blow towards the rotating fan 34 and the rotating seat 33, so that the rotating fan 34 rotates to convert the gas energy into mechanical work. The buffer airbag seat 27 can provide a certain sound insulation ability to reduce external noise while buffering on the outside. When a failure occurs during long-term use, the damaged expansion absorption sub-case 2 can be separately removed. When installing a new expansion absorption sub-case 2, the inner positioning plate 22 and the outer sealing plate 21 are supported between the split partition plates 12, and are sealed by fitting the sealing gasket 261 on the split partition plates 12, thereby ensuring stable use after installation.
