Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of turbine expander generator technology, specifically to a nitrogen pressure differential turbine expander generator installation and testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The nitrogen differential pressure turbine expander generator is a high-efficiency energy conversion device that uses the expansion of high-pressure nitrogen to generate electricity. Its core principle is to convert the pressure energy and thermal energy of high-pressure nitrogen into mechanical energy through a turbine expander, which then drives the generator to output electrical energy. When the system is working, high-pressure nitrogen (usually with a pressure of 2-10 MPa) is accelerated through the nozzle and impacts the turbine blades, driving the rotor to rotate at high speed. During this process, the nitrogen pressure and temperature are significantly reduced, and the released energy is transferred to the generator through the rotor.
[0003] Turbine expander generators typically employ a single-stage or multi-stage centripetal structure. The blades require special reinforcement to withstand the tiny particles that may be trapped in the nitrogen gas. The use of magnetic levitation bearings or dry gas seal technology reduces frictional losses, allowing speeds to reach tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. Therefore, the coaxiality of the stator and rotor of the generator is critical. During the assembly of the stator and rotor of a nitrogen differential pressure turbine expander generator, excessive assembly clearance increases gas leakage losses, reduces expansion efficiency, and may also trigger airflow excitation, causing rotor instability or abnormal vibration. Conversely, insufficient clearance may lead to friction or even bearing seizure due to thermal expansion or dynamic deformation. Radial and axial concentricity deviations disrupt dynamic balance, accelerate bearing wear, generate high-frequency noise, and shorten the lifespan of mechanical seals and bearings over long-term operation.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] The following is based on the appendix Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a detailed description of a nitrogen differential pressure turbine expander generator installation and testing device, comprising a positioning and clamping mechanism 2 for fixing a motor stator 4 and a hoisting mechanism 3 for moving a motor rotor 5. An upper end cover 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the motor rotor 5, with the upper end of the rotor shaft extending beyond the upper end cover 6. The hoisting mechanism 3 clamps the upper end of the rotor shaft of the motor rotor 5. The positioning and clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on a bracket 12 of a base 1. A lifting mechanism 8 is also provided below the positioning and clamping mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 8 includes a lifting ring 82 and a lifting column 81 located in the middle of the lifting ring 82. The lifting column 81 supports the lower end of the rotor shaft of the motor rotor 5, and the lifting column 81, together with the hoisting mechanism 3, moves the motor rotor to the installation position. A slide 7 is also provided on the base 1, and the slide 7 moves the motor stator 4 into the positioning and clamping mechanism 2.
[0035] The motor rotor 5 is vertically moved into the motor stator 4 by the hoisting mechanism 3, which facilitates the assembly operation of the motor rotor 5 and the motor stator 4. When assembling the motor stator 4, the present invention first moves the motor rotor 5 above the motor stator 4 by the hoisting mechanism 3, controls the lifting column 81 of the lifting mechanism 8 to rise and engage with the lower end of the rotating shaft of the motor rotor 5, and controls the hoisting mechanism 3 and the lifting column 81 together to lower the motor rotor 5 to the assembly position with the motor stator 4. This can ensure the assembly accuracy of the motor stator 4 and the motor rotor 5, avoid uneven bearing force on the rotating shaft of the motor rotor 4 when assembling and fixing the upper end cover 6 and the lower end cover 60, improve the dynamic balance performance of the nitrogen pressure differential turbine expansion generator and reduce vibration during operation.
[0036] The base plate 11 of the base 1 has a through hole 14 in the middle; two brackets 12 are arranged on both sides of the through hole 14; the two brackets 12 are respectively provided with a symmetrical positioning and clamping mechanism 2; the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 can clamp and fix the motor stator 4 at the center of the through hole 14.
[0037] See appendix Figure 3 Two brackets 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole 14. The motor stator 4 can enter through the opening on one side of the two brackets 12 via the slide table 7, and then be clamped and positioned by the positioning clamping mechanism 2. The positioning clamping mechanism 2 is a centering clamping mechanism, which can clamp and fix the motor stator 4 at the center position of the through hole 14, thus completing the positioning of the motor stator 4 during assembly.
[0038] The base plate 11 of the base 1 is also provided with a guide rail 13; the slide 7 is provided on the guide rail 13; in the initial position, the motor stator 4 is placed on the slide 7, and the motor stator 4 is moved to the center position of the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 by the slide 7; after the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 clamps and fixes the motor stator 4, the slide 7 moves to the initial position.
[0039] The motor stator 4 is moved by the slide table 7, which is convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving. In this embodiment of the invention, the slide table 7 is provided with a ball bearing structure, which supports the motor stator 4. When the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 clamps and fixes the motor stator 4, the motor stator 4 can move a certain distance relative to the slide table 7 under the positioning action of the positioning and clamping mechanism 2, which facilitates the positioning and fixing of the motor stator 4. After the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 completes the clamping and fixing of the motor stator 4, the slide table 7 moves out from under the motor stator 4 and returns to its initial position. The lifting mechanism 8 under the motor stator 4 can lift the lower end cover 60, and at the same time, the lifting column 81 can rise and extend into the interior of the motor stator 4, so that the lifting column 81 can support the lower end of the rotating shaft of the motor rotor 5 above.
[0040] The positioning and clamping mechanism 2 has two sets and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole 14 of the base 1; the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21, which is disposed on the bracket 12 of the base 1; the support plate 21 is provided with an active clamping block 23 and a passive clamping block 24; the support plate 21 is equipped with a drive mechanism 22 for driving the active clamping block 23 to move.

The active clamping block 23 slides in a direction perpendicular to the first support plate 211, and the passive clamping block 24 slides in a direction perpendicular to the second support plate 212. The perpendicular line of the first support plate 211 and the perpendicular line of the second support plate 212 intersect at the center of the through hole 14 of the base 1. When the active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 clamp the motor stator 4, the motor stator 4 can be fixed at the center position of the through hole 14.
[0043] The first support plate 211 is provided with a movable active clamping block 23; the second support plate 212 is provided with a movable passive clamping block 24; the active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 are connected by a linkage rod 25; the driving mechanism 22 drives the active clamping block 23 to move, and the active clamping block 23 drives the passive clamping block 24 to move synchronously through the linkage rod 25.
[0044] The active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 have the same structure, both including a main body 201 and a guide part 202 disposed on the main body 201; an abutment block 203 is disposed on the end face of the main body 201 facing the motor stator 4; a guide hole 204 is disposed on one side of the main body 201; the guide hole 204 of the active clamping block 23 and the guide hole 204 of the passive clamping block 24 are disposed facing each other; one end of the linkage rod 25 is fixed to the guide hole 204 of the active clamping block 23, and the other end of the linkage rod 25 is slidably disposed in the guide hole 204 of the passive clamping block 24.
[0045] Specifically, two sets of positioning and clamping mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole 14 of the base 1. The support plate 21 of the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 on one side is symmetrically arranged with the support plate 21 of the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 on the other side. The active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 installed on the support plate 21 are both moving towards the center of the through hole 14. This allows the motor stator 4 to be clamped and positioned at the center of the through hole 14 when the active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 are used to position and clamp the motor stator 4, thus completing the positioning of the motor stator 4 during assembly.
[0046] The lifting mechanism 8 is disposed in the through hole 14 of the base 1; the lower end cover 60 is placed on the lifting ring 82 of the lifting mechanism 8; the lifting column 81 of the lifting mechanism 8 can extend upward into the interior of the motor stator 4 and abut against the motor rotor 5 above.

[0049] Specifically, when assembling the motor stator 4 and motor rotor 5, the motor stator 4 is first moved between the two sets of positioning and clamping mechanisms 2 via the slide table 7. The drive mechanism 22 is controlled to drive the active clamping block 23 and the passive clamping block 24 to fix the motor stator 4 at the center of the through hole 14. Then, the slide table 7 is moved to the initial position, and the hydraulic cylinder 823 is activated to lift the lower end cover 60 on the lifting ring 82 to the assembly position with the motor stator 4. The lifting column 812 is activated to extend the positioning seat 811 into the motor stator 4. The motor rotor 5 is moved to the center position above the motor stator 4 via the hoisting mechanism 3. The motor stator 4 is controlled to descend and engage with the positioning seat 811 of the lifting column 81 to complete the positioning of the lower end of the motor stator 4 shaft.
