[0002] Steam turbines are the main equipment in modern thermal power plants. The quality of their operation is directly related to the safe and continuous production level of power plants. At present, with the rapid development of my country's power industry, the number of steam turbines and the capacity of single units are also growing rapidly, and the possibility of problems with the turbine cylinder bearings is also relatively high. Therefore, maintenance often requires disassembly and maintenance of the wheels and measurement of the wheel centers. In order to better find the center during maintenance, it is usually necessary to set up a dial indicator. However, ordinary dial indicator stands are not stable enough and frequently shake during the measurement process, resulting in large errors in the measurement results. In order to solve the above shortcomings and improve the stability and efficiency of the dial indicator when measuring steam turbines, this solution proposes a special dial indicator stand. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a setting device for a dial indicator for steam turbine maintenance. When measuring the pair of wheels of the steam turbine, the expansion support, the expansion pressure plate and the expansion sleeve are placed together in the turning hole of the pair of wheels, and the locking bolt installed on the expansion support is tightened by a T-shaped socket wrench, so that the expansion pressure plate is continuously close to the expansion support, thereby causing the expansion sleeve to expand and fix the expansion support. According to the measuring direction, the end of the supporting measuring rod with the disc magnetic seat is engaged with the end portion on the corresponding side of the expansion support, and the rotating sleeve rod is turned to make the linkage lever drive the switch of the disc magnetic seat, so that the disc magnetic seat is effectively adsorbed on the expansion support, and the dial indicator is set on the dial indicator mounting rod through the meter stand to measure the pair of wheels of the steam turbine, thereby realizing efficient and convenient setting of the dial indicator during the maintenance and measurement of the pair of wheels of the steam turbine.

The contact surface between the expansion support and the expansion sleeve is a conical surface. The diameters of the end surfaces of the expansion support and the expansion pressure plate where they approach each other are equal, and the diameters of the end surfaces where they are away from each other are equal. The outer surface of the expansion sleeve is cylindrical and has equal outer diameters at the top and bottom. The conical contact surface between the expansion support and the expansion sleeve allows the expansion sleeve to be effectively expanded by the conical surface structure when it is squeezed by the expansion pressure plate and moved on the expansion support.

[0010] According to the installation device of a dial indicator for steam turbine maintenance provided by the present invention, the socket head of the T-shaped socket wrench matches the specifications of the hexagonal screw head of the locking bolt, making it convenient to tighten and loosen the locking bolt.

[0011] According to the present invention, a mounting device for a steam turbine maintenance dial indicator comprises a central latch fixedly connected to the inner surface of the hexagonal concave mounting base.

When measuring the counter-wheel of the steam turbine, the expansion support, the expansion pressure plate and the expansion sleeve are placed together in the turning hole of the counter-wheel. The locking bolt installed on the expansion support is tightened with a T-shaped socket wrench, so that the expansion pressure plate is continuously approached to the expansion support, thereby causing the expansion sleeve to expand and the expansion support to be fixed.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device for mounting a dial indicator for steam turbine maintenance. According to the measuring orientation, one end of the supporting measuring rod with the disc magnetic seat is connected to the end portion on the corresponding side of the expansion support. The rotating sleeve rod is twisted to make the linkage lever drive the switch of the disc magnetic seat, so that the disc magnetic seat is effectively adsorbed on the expansion support.

The outer surface of the expansion sleeve 3 is cylindrical, with equal outer diameters at the top and bottom. The outer surface of the expansion support 2 is movably connected to the expansion sleeve 3.

The outer surface of the expansion sleeve 3 is provided with a deformation fracture 11, which gives the expansion sleeve 3 a cylindrical open structure, providing deformation conditions for its expansion. The inner wall of the expansion sleeve 3 and the contact surface with the expansion plate 4 are conical.

A center connecting hole 28 is provided on the outer surface of the hexagonal clip joint 7, and a positioning hole 24 is provided on the outer surface of the hexagonal clip joint 7, which has the same function as the positioning hole 25, in order to prevent the support measuring rod 1 from rotating after installation.

[0019] The disc magnetic base 13 is an instrument primarily composed of a rotatable magnetic element, two magnetic yoke groups, and a non-magnetic block located between the two magnetic yoke groups. The disc magnetic base 13 has a cylindrical surface. A hexagonal concave retaining seat 23 is provided on its lower surface, with a locating pin 27 fixedly connected to its inner surface. A support measuring rod 1 is fixedly connected to its upper surface, one end of which is fixedly connected to a dial indicator mounting rod 6.

A rotating base 14 is fixedly connected to its upper surface, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 16. A linkage lever 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating sleeve 16, one end of which is movably connected to the switching switch of the disc magnetic base 13.

[0020] The outer surface of the dial indicator mounting rod 6 is detachably connected to a dial stand 18 for mounting a dial indicator 19. One end of the dial stand 18 is detachably connected to a dial indicator 19. The dial indicator 19 is a universal length measuring tool made of a precision rack and pinion mechanism, and is usually composed of a probe, a measuring rod, a shock-absorbing spring, a rack, a gear, a hairspring, a circular dial, and a pointer. The outer surface of the expansion sleeve 3 is detachably connected to a protective sleeve 20, which is used to protect the expansion support 2 and the expansion sleeve 3 when stored to prevent them from being hit, which would cause a change in accuracy during use. The protective sleeve 20 is made of plastic and is divided into two left and right parts. It is opened and closed by a hinged connection, and there is a buckle at the opening and closing point. The outer surface of the protective sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to a wrench slot 21, and the interior of the wrench slot 21 is detachably connected to a T-type socket wrench 12. The socket head of the T-type socket wrench 12 matches the specifications of the hexagonal screw head of the locking bolt 5. The interior of the rotating sleeve rod 16 is hollow, and a rubber grip 17 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the rotating sleeve rod 16 , supporting the measuring rod 1 and the rotating sleeve rod 16 at the same axis.

[0022] Working principle: When in use, open the protective cover 20 and take out the expansion support 2, the expansion sleeve 3 and the expansion pressure plate 4, and put them into the turning hole on the wheel side surface of the turbine. Remove the T-type socket wrench 12 and use the T-type socket wrench 12 to tighten the locking bolt 5. At this time, the expansion pressure plate 4 pushes the expansion sleeve 3 to move, and the distance between the expansion pressure plate 4 and the expansion support 2 is constantly getting closer. Through the tapered structure of the outer surface of the expansion pressure plate 4 and the expansion support 2, and the inner wall of the expansion sleeve 3 The tapered structure causes the expansion sleeve 3 to deform and increase its outer diameter as the expansion plate 4 and the expansion support 2 approach each other, thereby clamping against the inner wall of the turning hole of the turbine counter-wheel. During the expansion of the expansion sleeve 3, the diameters of the expansion support 2 and the expansion plate 4 are equal when the ends approaching and when they are farther apart, so the outer diameter of the expansion sleeve 3 changes evenly and synchronously during expansion. After clamping, the support measuring rod 1 and the dial indicator mounting rod 6 are in the center position inside the turbine counter-wheel. According to the surface to be measured, the support measuring rod 1 is installed. When it is installed at one end of the first concave seat 8 corresponding to the expansion support 2, the disc magnetic seat 13 installed on the support measuring rod 1 is used and placed in the first concave seat 8. The angle is adjusted so that the hexagonal concave card seat 23 is engaged with the hexagonal card joint 7. At this time, the center pin 29 is inserted into the center connection hole 28, and the positioning pin 27 is also inserted into the positioning hole 1 24. The bottom surface of the disc magnetic seat 13 is in contact with the bottom surface of the first concave seat 8. The rotating sleeve rod 16 is twisted to make the linkage lever 15 drive the disc magnetic seat 13 to switch, so that the disc magnetic seat 13 starts magnetic attraction and firmly absorbs the expansion support 2. Finally, the dial indicator 19 is installed on the dial indicator mounting rod 6 through the meter frame 18 for use. When installed at one end of the second recessed seat 26 corresponding to the expansion support 2, use the disc magnetic seat 13 installed on the support measuring rod 1 and place it in the second recessed seat 26, adjust the angle so that the hexagonal recessed seat 23 is engaged with the locking bolt 5, at this time the center pin 29 is inserted into the center connecting hole 1 22, and the positioning pin 27 is also inserted into the positioning hole 2 25, the bottom surface of the disc magnetic seat 13 is fitted with the bottom surface of the second recessed seat 26, turn the rotating sleeve rod 16 to make the linkage lever 15 drive the disc magnetic seat 13 to switch, so that the disc magnetic seat 13 starts magnetically sucking the expansion support 2, and finally the dial indicator 19 is installed on the dial indicator mounting rod 6 through the meter frame 18 for use.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
