[0002] The turbine rotor is a key component of the turbine, characterized by its large weight, size, and high precision requirements. Frequent lifting operations are necessary during the installation, inspection, and maintenance of the turbine.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN112744687A, which discloses a turbine rotor lifting tool. In use, the lower suspension assembly is first attached to the journals at both ends of the rotor.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Reference Figure 1-7 A turbine rotor lifting tool includes a turbine rotor body 7 and a lifting beam 1 for lifting the turbine rotor body 7. The lifting beam 1 is provided with an adjustment component 3, a clamping component 4 and an auxiliary fixing component 5. The adjustment component 3 is used to fix the turbine rotor body 7 of different lengths. The adjustment component 3 is located at the bottom end of the lifting beam 1. A bidirectional lead screw 302 is provided inside the bottom end of the lifting beam 1. Moving blocks 303 are provided on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 302.

[0034] One end of the bidirectional lead screw 302 is provided with a drive motor 301, the top of the moving block 303 is provided with a limiting block 304, the limiting block 304 is arranged in a "T" shape, the bottom end of the moving block 303 is provided with a limiting block 305, the bottom end of the limiting block 305 is connected to a telescopic cylinder 306, and the actuating end of the telescopic cylinder 306 is connected to a fixing rod 307.

[0035] The lifting beam 1 is equipped with reinforcing steel bars 2 inside. The top two sides and the middle of the lifting beam 1 are equipped with fixing ropes 101. The end of the fixing rope 101 away from the lifting beam 1 is connected to a lifting rope 102. The bottom end of the lifting beam 1 and the side of the clamping clamp 407 is equipped with a loop rope 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, it should be noted that when lifting and moving the turbine rotor body 7, the lifting beam 1 is moved to the position of the turbine rotor body 7 by raising and lowering the lifting rope 102. By default, the clamping clamp 407 is in the open state, so that the clamping clamp 407 is aligned with the journals on both sides of the turbine rotor body 7. After the clamping clamp 407 clamps the journals on both sides of the turbine rotor body 7, the loop ropes 6 on both sides of the bottom end of the lifting beam 1 are looped on the journals on both sides of the turbine rotor body 7. The length of the loop rope 6 is adjusted to stabilize and fix the turbine rotor body 7. The lifting rope 102 is then wound up to realize the lifting operation.

[0037] Fixed reinforcing bars 2 are added inside the lifting beam 1. Based on the mechanical analysis results, they are distributed in a grid pattern to enhance the lifting beam 1's resistance to deformation when bearing the eccentric load of the turbine rotor body 7, improve the overall structural strength and stability, and extend the service life of the lifting beam 1.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Unlike Example 1, referring to Figure 1-7 This embodiment also has the following further features: the clamping assembly 4 is used to clamp and fix both ends of the turbine rotor body 7 to ensure the stability of subsequent lifting. The clamping assembly 4 includes a first lead screw 402, a first bevel gear 403, a third bevel gear 405, a second lead screw 406, and a clamping clamp 407.

[0040] The fixing rod 307 is rectangular in shape. An actuating motor 401 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the fixing rod 307. The actuating end of the actuating motor 401 is connected to a first lead screw 402. A first bevel gear 403 is provided at the end of the first lead screw 402 away from the actuating motor 401. A second bevel gear 404 is provided at the side of the first bevel gear 403 away from the first lead screw 402. A third bevel gear 405 is provided at the side of the second bevel gear 404 away from the first bevel gear 403. A second lead screw 406 is provided at the end of the third bevel gear 405 away from the first bevel gear 403. Both the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 406 are connected to a clamping clip 407.

[0041] The two clamping clips 407 are connected to the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 406 with nuts, and the two moving blocks 303 are connected to both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 302 with nuts.

[0042] Multiple rubber pads 408 are provided at equal intervals on opposite sides of the two clamping clips 407.

[0043] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: according to the size of the turbine rotor body 7, the drive motor 301 starts to drive the bidirectional lead screw 302 to rotate, and the moving blocks 303 connected to the screw nuts on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 302 move closer or further away from each other, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom clamping clamp 407.

[0044] The limiting block 304, which is set in a "T" shape at the top of the moving block 303, moves inside the lifting beam 1. The moving block 303 moves on the double-acting screw 302 through a screw nut connection. The limiting block 304 moves synchronously inside the lifting beam 1. When the clamping clamp 407 clamps and fixes the turbine rotor body 7 and then lifts it, both the double-acting screw 302 and the lifting beam 1 exert tension on the turbine rotor body 7.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Reference Figure 1-7 Compared to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, in this embodiment: the auxiliary fixing component 5 is used to assist the clamping component 4 in fixing the turbine rotor body 7, and the auxiliary fixing component 5 uses the gear rack 504 and the pressing block 506 to balance and fix the turbine rotor body 7.

[0047] A placement block 503 is provided on one side of the fixed rod 307. The second bevel gear 404 is located on the side of the first bevel gear 403 near the placement block 503. A rotating rod 501 is connected to the side of the second bevel gear 404 near the placement block 503. A gear disk 502 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 501 away from the second bevel gear 404. A gear rack 504 is connected to one side of the gear disk 502.

[0048] The bottom end of the gear rack 504 is connected to the pressing block 506. The bottom end of the pressing block 506 is provided with a plurality of shock-absorbing springs 507 at equal intervals. The bottom end of the shock-absorbing springs 507 is connected to a pressing block 508.

[0049] Limiting levers 505 are provided on both the left and right sides of the gear rack 504. The gear disk 502 meshes with the gear rack 504. The first bevel gear 403 meshes with the second bevel gear 404. The second bevel gear 404 meshes with the third bevel gear 405.

[0050] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: the start of the actuator motor 401 drives the first lead screw 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 403 to rotate, the second bevel gear 404 meshing with the first bevel gear 403 to rotate, and the third bevel gear 405 meshing with the second bevel gear 404 to rotate, further driving the second lead screw 406 to rotate, causing the clamping clamps 407 connected to the lead screws 402 and 406 to move closer together, clamping the journals at both ends of the turbine rotor body 7. When the clamping clamps 407 move closer together, the rotation of the second bevel gear 404 drives the rotating rod 501 to rotate, which in turn causes the gear disk 502 to rotate. The gear rack 504 meshing with one side of the gear disk 502 moves up and down, causing the pressing block 506 to move downward and press against the top of the journals at both ends of the turbine rotor body 7. This forms a set of interaction forces with the upward tension of the rope 6, fixing the position of the turbine rotor body 7 and preventing the turbine rotor body 7 from tilting or falling during the lifting process.

[0051] Both the fixing rod 307 and the placement block 503 are provided with slots that are used in conjunction with the limiting rod 505, so that the limiting rod 505 can move up and down in the slots. The setting of the limiting rod 505 limits and fixes the position of the gear rack 504, preventing the gear rack 504 from falling directly off the placement block 503.

[0052] The rubber pad 408 inside the clamping clamp 407 enhances the friction between the clamping clamp 407 and the turbine rotor body 7, thereby improving the stability of the clamping.
