[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the flatness modeling of the lower half of the low-pressure outer casing of the three-petal structure of the steam turbine.

[0013] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the lower half of the low-pressure outer cylinder of the three-petal structure of the steam turbine. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the examples of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment describes a method for measuring and adjusting the level of a low-pressure outer cylinder of a three-petal structure of a steam turbine, which includes the following steps: S1. Perform preliminary split adjustments on the lower half of the three-petal low-pressure outer casing of the steam turbine through the base frame; S2. Use the dummy shaft support to perform linkage alignment on the lower half of the three-petal low-pressure outer cylinder of the steam turbine; S3. Performing flatness modeling on the lower half of the three-petal low-pressure outer casing of the steam turbine; the modeling includes the following steps: S3-1. Arrange n measuring points along the circumference of the lower half of the three-lobe low-pressure outer casing of the steam turbine. Place shims at the measuring points, and the heights of the shims are equal. S3-2, using a level meter to measure the level value Nn between adjacent measuring points, and using a distance meter to measure the distance Sn between adjacent measuring points; S3-3. Calculate the horizontal contribution value Ln=Nn*Sn between each adjacent measuring point; S3-4, calculate the height value Hn of each measuring point by accumulating Ln, and select the highest value Hn from several Hn max and the lowest value Hmin ; Based on the adjustment end, define the positive direction of the horizontal high position, calculate the cumulative value of each point, and determine the highest point H of the entire cylinder max With the lowest point H min ; S3-5. Determine the highest value H max and the lowest value H min Check whether the height difference meets the design value and output the result; S4. Correct the flatness of the lower half of the low-pressure outer cylinder of the three-petal structure of the steam turbine through the output results of the modeling. The flatness of the entire cylinder is H = |H max | + |H min If H is greater than the design value, the base frame jack will be used for dynamic adjustment, raising the low point and lowering the high point until H is fully Sufficient design value .

[0016] This method achieves efficient and precise assembly of the low-pressure outer cylinder through phased coordinated adjustment, dummy-axis-assisted alignment, and quantitative control of full-cylinder flatness. It focuses on addressing cumulative errors, flatness tolerances, and dynamic coordination issues in the three-petal structure, ensuring the fit of the horizontal center plane and cylinder coaxiality. This reduces the risks of post-assembly clearance tolerances and flatness errors, and improves the first-pass pass rate for installation.

[0017] Applying this method significantly shortens the time required to horizontally adjust the low-pressure outer cylinder and significantly improves the flatness qualification rate. By modeling the flatness of the lower half of the three-lobe low-pressure outer cylinder of a steam turbine, low points can be quickly identified and precisely adjusted, ensuring accurate outer cylinder flatness measurement and reducing the likelihood of unqualified cylinder centerline clearances due to flatness errors later in the process.
