Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam turbines, and in particular to a detachable heat insulation cover for a side-intake low-pressure inner cylinder. Background Art
[0002] When designing the low-pressure cylinder of a large steam turbine or air turbine, a heat shield is typically installed on the outer surface of the low-pressure cylinder to reduce the temperature of the inner and outer surfaces, thereby minimizing thermal stress and deformation. This shield is typically welded from 3-5 mm thick steel plates and bolted to the outer surface of the cylinder. Its primary function is to prevent exhaust gas from directly cooling the outer surface of the cylinder, preventing heat loss from the outer surface and improving unit thermal efficiency. It also reduces the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder, thereby reducing thermal stress and deformation, thereby improving the cylinder's strength and extending its service life.
[0003] Because the heat shield operates in the low-pressure exhaust zone, where the airflow is highly unstable, it is subjected to alternating excitation forces. If the shield's natural frequency falls within the airflow's excitation frequency band, resonance will occur, causing existing shields to become welded, fall off, or otherwise damaged. Some insulation structures also feature thicker insulation layers secured with numerous bolts, wire, or glue. These structures are often non-removable, making them difficult to inspect and repair. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the existing heat insulation cover has a thick insulation interlayer and is fixed with a large number of bolts and steel wires or glue. This insulation structure is often non-detachable and inconvenient for unit maintenance. Instead, a detachable heat insulation cover for a side-intake low-pressure inner cylinder is proposed.
[0005] The present invention provides a detachable heat shield for a side-intake low-pressure inner cylinder, comprising a heat shield upper left portion 16, a heat shield upper right portion 17, a heat shield lower right portion 18, an air intake cylinder 19, and a heat shield lower left portion 20.
[0006] The upper left portion 16 of the heat shield and the upper right portion 17 of the heat shield are connected by a plurality of No. 1 bolt assemblies to form the upper half of the heat shield. The lower left portion 20 of the heat shield and the lower right portion 18 of the heat shield are connected by a plurality of No. 2 bolt assemblies to form the lower half of the heat shield. An air intake 19 is provided at the bottom of the lower right portion 18 of the heat shield. The upper half of the heat shield and the upper half of the heat shield are fixedly connected by a plurality of bolts. The mechanical structure of the No. 1 bolt assembly is the same as that of the No. 2 bolt assembly.

[0008] The bottom surface of the waist-shaped groove angle steel 3 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the upper left portion 16 of the heat shield, and the bottom surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped groove angle steel 4 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the upper right portion 17 of the heat shield. The vertical section end surface of the L-shaped groove angle steel 4 is processed with a U-shaped hole, and the bottom end of the bolt 5 passes through the U-shaped holes on the waist-shaped groove angle steel 3 and the L-shaped groove angle steel 4 in sequence, and is threadedly connected with the nut 6. A locking washer 7 is provided between the bottom surface of the nut of the bolt 5 and the vertical section end surface of the waist-shaped groove angle steel 3;
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the upper right portion 17 of the heat shield, the lower right portion 18 of the heat shield, and the air intake cylinder 19 are all processed with a plurality of rectangular grooves, and a U-shaped groove pad 8 is welded to the top of each rectangular groove. A hexagonal flange 9 is provided inside each rectangular groove, and a single-ear locking washer 10 is provided on the top surface of the hexagonal flange 9. The bottom of the countersunk bolt 11 passes through the single-ear locking washer 10, the hexagonal flange 9, and the U-shaped groove pad 8 in sequence, and is then threadedly connected to the mounting hole of the inner cylinder of the turbine.
[0010] Furthermore, a vertical plate 12 is provided on one side of the single-ear stop washer 10 on the top surface of the hexagonal flange 9;
[0011] Furthermore, a backing plate 2 is welded to both ends of the outer surface of the upper left portion 16 of the heat shield, the upper right portion 17 of the heat shield, the lower right portion 18 of the heat shield, and the lower left portion 20 of the heat shield, and a lifting ear 1 is provided at the top of each backing plate 2;
[0012] Furthermore, the lifting lug 1 is integrally provided with the backing plate 2;
[0013] Furthermore, a V-shaped rib plate 14 is provided on the upper half of the heat shield and inside the upper half of the heat shield, and an end plate 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the V-shaped rib plate 14;

In order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, it is divided into five parts in total. The parts are connected by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and convenient for unit maintenance. The main function of the heat insulation cover is to prevent the exhaust gas from directly contacting the outer surface of the low-pressure inner cylinder, cooling the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the inner cylinder; thereby reducing the thermal stress and deformation of the inner cylinder, thereby improving the strength performance of the inner cylinder and extending the service life. The heat insulation cover and the outer wall of the inner cylinder are connected by bolts all around to ensure that the heat insulation cover and the inner cylinder are firmly connected and avoid damage to the heat insulation cover due to unstable resonance of the airflow. An anti-loosening structure is designed at the bolt fixing point to ensure safe and reliable connection and ensure that the unit will not loosen during long-term operation.
