[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal-fired power generation technology, in particular to a front-mounted steam turbine suitable for high exhaust steam pressure and a steam turbine system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The front-mounted steam turbine is usually connected in series with other steam turbines such as a main steam turbine, and in the working process, the front-mounted steam turbine uses steam with higher parameters to convert energy and do work, recovers the initial energy of high-pressure steam, and then delivers exhaust steam with high pressure and temperature to the subsequent steam turbine for continued expansion and work, so that the overall power generation capacity of the power plant can be effectively improved through this series cooperation mode.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] The front-mounted steam turbine essentially belongs to a back-pressure steam turbine, and its characteristics are that the number of flow-through stages is small, and both the steam inlet pressure and the steam exhaust pressure are at a high level. In the steam turbine system architecture, the front-mounted steam turbine is connected in series with other steam turbines such as a main steam turbine for operation. In the working process, the front-mounted steam turbine first uses steam with high parameters to perform energy conversion and do work, and then delivers the exhaust steam with high pressure and temperature to the subsequent steam turbine for the subsequent steam turbine to continue to expand and do work.
[0038] Generally, the front-mounted steam turbine includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder arranged in a nested manner, and the high steam exhaust pressure is mainly borne by the outer cylinder independently.
[0039] In order to ensure that the outer cylinder of the front-mounted steam turbine can stably bear the high steam pressure, systematic optimization and upgrading can be performed from two aspects of cylinder body structure design and material selection. On the one hand, the cylinder body structure is optimized to reasonably distribute the pressure load and avoid local stress concentration; on the other hand, high-strength and high-toughness materials are selected, and the strength parameters of the cylinder body, flanges and connecting bolts and the like are accurately matched according to the pressure working condition, so as to ensure that the components bear pressure in cooperation, effectively prevent the sealing failure problem caused by stress imbalance, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the steam turbine.
[0040] For a unit with higher steam exhaust pressure, the conventional solution is to increase the cylinder wall thickness, select high-strength materials and increase the bolt size, etc., to enhance the cylinder strength and sealing performance. However, these measures will increase the cylinder thermal stress in the start-stop process of the steam turbine, and limited by the material performance and thermal stress constraints, the steam exhaust pressure of the unit is still difficult to be effectively broken through.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 wherein, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a front-mounted steam turbine provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is Figure 1 A-A cross-sectional view in
[0042] The front-mounted steam turbine provided by the embodiment of the present application is suitable for high exhaust pressure, for example, but not limited to, exhaust pressure of 15 Mpa or more. The front-mounted steam turbine is a steam turbine with a double-layer cylinder structure including an inner cylinder 1 and an outer cylinder 2, and with a through-flow component 3 arranged at one end and a balance drum 4 arranged at the other end. The inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are both split structure.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the outer cylinder 2 is a split structure formed with a second dividing surface 23 perpendicular to the axis, and the open ends of the first outer cylinder body 2a and the second outer cylinder body 2b have annular flanges and are assembled and fixed by a set of second connecting bolts 2c. Compared with the prior art, the outer cylinder 2 structure of the present application can stably withstand tens of megapascals of exhaust pressure.
[0044] As shown in Figure 2 , the inner cylinder 1 is a split structure formed with a first dividing surface passing through the axis, and the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b are assembled and fixed by a set of first connecting bolts 1c. The middle part of the inner cylinder 1 is an admission area provided with an admission chamber 5, and the admission chamber 5 is formed by the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b, and on the radially opposite sides of the admission area, there are respectively an admission port 9 in communication with the admission chamber 5.
[0045] Here, the outer wall of the inner cylinder 1 does not have a traditional protruding connecting flange, and each first connecting bolt 1c is embedded in the cylinder wall (the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b) surrounding the admission chamber 5.
[0046] In a specific implementation, the cylinder wall of the inner cylinder 1 (the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b) has a reduced diameter section on both sides, and is respectively fixed by a set of interference-fitted rings 6. One ring 6 is fitted on the reduced diameter section of the cylinder wall on the side where the through-flow component 3 is located, and the other ring 6 is fitted on the reduced diameter section of the cylinder wall on the side where the balance drum 4 is located. Overall, based on the two rings 6 and each first connecting bolt 1c, reliable fixation of the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b is achieved.
[0047] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the first outer cylinder body 2a and the second outer cylinder body 2b are both in a "cup type" structure. The inner wall surfaces of the first outer cylinder body 2a and the second outer cylinder body 2b are respectively provided with annular skirt portions 2d, both of which extend towards the inner cylinder 1 and are respectively adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the corresponding circular ring 6. A plurality of sealing rings 7 are embedded on the annular skirt portions 2d and form a zero-gap fit with the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring 6 through the sealing rings 7.
[0048] In other specific implementations, the sealing rings 7 can also be embedded on the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring 6, and a zero-gap fit between the two can also be constructed, which can be determined according to the overall design requirements of the product, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.
[0049] In the present embodiment, the two annular skirt portions 2d and the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 1 and the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 2 construct a low-pressure chamber 8, and the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 2 between the two annular skirt portions 2d is provided with a pressure balance hole 2e that communicates with the low-pressure chamber 8, which is used to communicate with the low-pressure area of the steam turbine, and the low-pressure chamber 8 is maintained at a lower pressure, thereby effectively reducing the axial tensile stress of the second connecting bolt. Based on the low-pressure chamber 8, a pressure isolation mechanism is established, which can greatly reduce the range of action of the high exhaust pressure, improve the overall pressure-bearing performance and connection reliability of the outer cylinder 2, and avoid local stress concentration.
[0050] In the present embodiment, the pressure balance hole 2e communicating with the low-pressure chamber 8 is located on the first inner cylinder body 1a side. In other possible implementations, the pressure balance hole 2e can also be located on the second inner cylinder body 1b side, which can be selected according to the overall design requirements of the product, as long as an effective pressure isolation mechanism can be established, which is within the scope of the present application.
[0051] For the second connecting bolt 2c that fixedly connects the first outer cylinder body 2a and the second outer cylinder body 2b, the tensile force borne by it is generated by two parts of pressure load: one is from the steam turbine exhaust pressure P1, which acts on the annular area formed between the outer diameter of the circular ring 6 and the diameter between the rotor 10 steam seal; the other is from the pressure P2 in the low-pressure chamber 8, which acts on the annular area between the outer cylinder 1 inner wall diameter of the low-pressure chamber 8 and the outer diameter of the circular ring 6. It can be understood that the two parts of pressure respectively generate force through different annular area, which jointly determines the stress condition of the second connecting bolt 2c.
[0052] Taking the example that the outer diameters (R2) of the two circular rings 6 are the same and the diameters (R1) of the steam seals on both sides of the rotor 10 are the same, the stress relationship of the second connecting bolt 2c can be expressed as follows:
[0053] S=(P1-Pk)×π·(R2 2 - R1 2) + (P2 - Pk) x π x (R3 2 - R2 2
[0054] Wherein, S is the total tension of all second connecting bolts 2c, P1 is the front turbine exhaust pressure, P2 is the pressure in the low pressure chamber, Pk is the atmospheric pressure, R1 is the radius of the rotor seal, R2 is the radius of the outer surface of the circular ring, and R3 is the radius of the inner wall of the outer cylinder.
[0055] In addition, in order to optimize the arrangement space of the steam inlet chamber 5 of the inner cylinder 1 and the peripheral first connecting bolt 1c, in the specific implementation, the outer wall surface of the steam inlet chamber 5 can be designed as an eccentric structure, as shown in Figure 2 The outer wall surface 5a of the steam inlet chamber 5 on one side of the center line of the two air inlets 9 and the outer wall surface 5a of the steam inlet chamber 5 on the other side of the center line of the two air inlets 9 both gradually decrease from one air inlet 9 to the other air inlet 9, and the wall thickness of the inner cylinder 1 gradually increases. At the same time, the outer wall surface 5a of the steam inlet chamber 5 on one side of the center line of the two air inlets 9 and the outer wall surface 5a of the steam inlet chamber 5 on the other side of the center line of the two air inlets 9 are rotationally symmetrical relative to the rotor center 15, in other words, the air inlets 9 are arranged at the dislocation positions of the size changes of the outer wall surfaces of the steam inlet chambers 5.
[0056] In the embodiment, the first demarcation surface 16 of the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b is located at the small radial dimension region of the two side wall surfaces 5a, as shown in Figure 2 For example, the horizontal steam inlet structure shown in the figure, the first demarcation surface 16 of the inner cylinder 1 is arranged obliquely, and the first connecting bolt 1c for assembling and fixing the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b is embedded in the first inner cylinder body 1a and the second inner cylinder body 1b with thicker wall thickness on both sides of the steam inlet chamber 5.
[0057] At the same time, the outer wall surface 5a has a flow guide arc surface 17 at one end of the small radial dimension (thicker wall thickness) and a flow guide round corner 18 at the other end of the large radial dimension (thinner wall thickness). In this way, the steam flow is guided to flow into the steam inlet chamber 5 in a predetermined direction (as shown by the arrow in the figure). Figure 2
[0058] In addition, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 need to have a stable and reliable locking and fixing relationship in the axial and radial directions. In the specific implementation, the locking and fixing relationship can be realized in different structural forms. In order to improve the assembly process, the locking and fixing in the axial and radial directions can be realized based on the support positioning convex part 1d on the inner cylinder 1 side and the support limiting convex part 2f on the outer cylinder 2 side as the basic structure.
[0059] For example, the support positioning protrusions 1d and the support limiting protrusions 2f are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which can realize the axial, radial and circumferential basic positioning between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. The support positioning protrusions 1d and the support limiting protrusions 2f arranged in groups can be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, for example but not limited to Figure 2 The ones shown in are spaced at 90° intervals. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 3 for Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram of part B in the figure is as follows: Figure 4 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the outer cylinder is shown in Figure 5 for Figure 4 Partial cross-sectional view of CC, Figure 6 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the inner cylinder shown in .
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the corresponding supporting positioning protrusion 1d and supporting limiting protrusion 2f, the locking and fixing structure also includes an auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g set on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2, as well as a limiting baffle 19, a locking block 20 and a locking bolt 21.
[0061] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the support limiting protrusion 2f and the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g both protrude radially inward from the inner wall of the first outer cylinder body 2a, and the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g is axially located on the opening side of the support limiting protrusion 2f close to the first outer cylinder body 2a, and there is an axial spacing L1 between the two. The support limiting protrusion 2f of the outer cylinder 2 has an axial limiting surface 2f1, and the support positioning protrusion 1d protrudes radially outward from the outer wall of the inner cylinder 1, and is pressed against the axial limiting surface 2f1 to form an axial basic limit. After the radial basic limit is formed by the inner wall of the first outer cylinder body 2a, the limiting baffle 19 can be inserted into the axial spacing L1 and axially pressed between the support positioning protrusion 1d and the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g to limit the support positioning protrusion 1d from falling out. As shown Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g has an axially penetrating slot 2g1, so that the supporting positioning protrusion 1d passes through the slot 2g1 and adapts to the supporting limiting protrusion 2f.
[0062] The support and limiting protrusion 2f further includes two circumferential limiting surfaces 2f2 arranged opposite to each other. Figure 5The shown sectional view only shows one circumferential limiting surface 2f2. In a specific implementation, the support limiting protrusion 2f has a groove, and the axial limiting surface 2f1 and the circumferential limiting surface 2f2 can be formed on the groove bottom wall and the groove side wall respectively. In this way, the support positioning protrusion 1d of the inner cylinder 1 can form axial basic limiting by pressing against the axial limiting surface 2f1, and can further form circumferential basic limiting on the support positioning protrusion 1d based on the two circumferential limiting surfaces 2f2 after forming radial basic limiting with the inner wall of the first outer cylinder body 2a.
[0063] In order to further improve the process, in a specific implementation, the support positioning protrusion 1d and the two side axial limiting surfaces 2f1 can have a circumferential spacing L2. Please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a circumferential limiting relationship diagram of the support positioning protrusion 1d.
[0064] In combination with Figure 7 , based on the circumferential spacing L2 between the support positioning protrusion 1d and the two side axial limiting surfaces 2f1, the assembly of the support positioning protrusion 1d and the support limiting protrusion 2f can be facilitated. After the support positioning protrusion 1d of the inner cylinder 1 forms axial basic limiting by pressing against the axial limiting surface 2f1, a gasket 22 can be inserted between the support positioning protrusion 1d and the two side axial limiting surfaces 2f1, and the two inserted gaskets 22 can form circumferential basic limiting on the support positioning protrusion 1d.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , wherein, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the assembly relationship of the limiting baffle 19, Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the assembly relationship of the locking block 20.
[0066] After the basic limiting of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 is completed, as shown by the arrow direction in Figure 8 , the limiting baffle 19 can be inserted into the axial spacing L1 between the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g and the support positioning protrusion 1d (support limiting protrusion 2f). The surface of the limiting baffle 19 facing the insertion slot 2g1 of the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g has a stop recess 191 for adapting with the locking block 20 and the locking bolt 21.
[0067] After the assembly of the limiting baffle 19 is completed, as shown by the arrow direction in Figure 9 , the locking block 20 can be pressed against the limiting baffle 19, and the two circumferentially opposite groove walls of the insertion slot 2g1 of the auxiliary limiting protrusion 2g abut against the locking block 20. The locking block 20 has a stop protrusion 201 and a mounting hole 202, the stop protrusion 201 can be inserted into the stop recess 191 of the limiting baffle 19, and the locking bolt passes through the mounting hole 202 of the locking block 20 and the bottom thread of the stop recess 191 of the limiting baffle 19 to adapt, realizing the fixation of the limiting baffle 19.
[0068] In this way, based on the circumferentially distributed support positioning protrusions 1d and support limiting protrusions 2f, supplemented by the limiting baffle 19, the locking block 20 and the gasket 22 cooperating with and restricting each other, the center 15 of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 is kept consistent, and the inner cylinder 1 can only expand or shrink in the radial direction relative to the outer cylinder 2, and cannot produce axial and radial displacement. Through this positioning mode, the concentric state of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 is effectively ensured.
[0069] The following briefly describes Figure 1 The installation process of the described front-mounted steam turbine is as follows:
[0070] First, the inner cylinder 1 and the rotor 10 are assembled, and the two ends of the inner cylinder 1 are respectively pre-fixed to the rotor 10 through the positioning device 12. Then, the pre-fixed rotor 10 and the inner cylinder 1 are vertically lifted as a whole by a crane, and the first outer cylinder body 2a of the outer cylinder 2 is placed and fixed with the open end facing upward. In this state, the lower side end seal 11 is installed in the first outer cylinder body 2a. Then, the positioning device 12 on the lower side of the inner cylinder 1 and the rotor 10 is removed, and the two are vertically dropped into the first outer cylinder body 2a. In this state, the support positioning protrusions 1d of the inner cylinder 1 and the support limiting protrusions 2f of the first outer cylinder body 2a are closely fitted, realizing radial and axial positioning, and the assembly and fixation of the inner cylinder 1 and the first outer cylinder body 2a are realized through the limiting baffle 19, the locking block 20 and the gasket 22. Then, reliable measures (not shown in the figure) are taken at the bottom of the rotor 10, and the positioning device 12 on the upper side of the rotor 10 and the inner cylinder 1 is removed. Finally, the upper side end seal 11 and the second outer cylinder body 2b are installed using special tools. After the second connecting bolt 2c of the outer cylinder 1 is fastened, the fixing device 14 between the rotor 10 and the outer cylinder 2 is installed at both ends of the cylinder. Based on the fixing device 14, the entire cylinder module can be turned from vertical to horizontal, and the functional requirements of overall transportation can also be met.
[0071] It should be understood that the specific implementation of the functional components such as the through-flow part 3, the balance drum 4, the rotor 10 and the end seal 11 described in the embodiment is not the core of the application, and those skilled in the art can implement it based on the prior art, so it will not be described again.
[0072] In addition to the front-mounted steam turbine described above with one end provided with a through-flow part and the other end provided with a balance drum, the implementation mode of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder structure provided in the foregoing embodiments can also be used for a steam turbine with a double split-flow through-flow structure. Please refer to Figure 10 , which is a schematic diagram of another front-mounted steam turbine provided in the embodiment of the application. In order to clearly show the difference and connection between the embodiment and Figure 1 the described implementation, the same functional components and structures are shown with the same reference numerals in the figure.
[0073] and Figure 1Compared with the described embodiments, the difference of the present embodiment is that the through-flow part 3 is arranged at both ends of the front-positioned steam turbine. Correspondingly, the steam exhaust pipes 13 at both sides are communicated with each other (not shown in the figure), so as to ensure that the through-flow parts at both ends obtain the same steam exhaust pressure.
[0074] The specific structure of other functional components can be implemented in the same way as Figure 1 the described embodiments. Here, no further description is given.
