An integral gearbox for a residual pressure steam-driven air compressor

Abstract

This invention discloses an integral gearbox for a residual pressure steam-driven air compressor, comprising a housing, an inlet pipe installed at one end of the housing, an outlet pipe installed at the other end of the housing, and a receiving mechanism disposed inside the housing for receiving and utilizing residual pressure steam. It also includes a condensation mechanism disposed at one end of the outlet pipe for condensing and collecting water vapor from the residual pressure steam. The residual pressure steam is blocked by impeller blades, with semi-circular impeller blades increasing the impact area. A coarse filter prevents other objects from entering the inlet pipe, while a fine filter filters dust. The semi-circular impeller blades convert the airflow of the residual pressure steam into the power for rotating the shaft. The shaft drives the worm gear to rotate, and the worm gear drives the power output shaft to rotate via a worm wheel. The self-locking property of the worm wheel and worm gear drives the power output shaft to rotate, thus pressurizing the air compressor and preventing reverse rotation of the air compressor's drive components, while also increasing the driving torque on the air compressor.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of residual pressure steam driven air compressor technology, and more particularly to an integral gearbox for a residual pressure steam driven air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated gearbox for a residual steam-driven air compressor is a highly efficient energy recovery device that converts residual steam from industrial processes into mechanical energy to drive the air compressor. Its core lies in the integrated gear transmission system, which uses precisely designed gear sets to convert the low-speed, high-torque output of the steam turbine into the high-speed rotational power required by the compressor, while maintaining a compact structure and high transmission efficiency. The gearbox typically employs a modular design, including multi-stage speed-changing gears, bearing support systems, and lubrication and cooling units, ensuring stable operation under fluctuating steam parameters and minimizing mechanical losses.

[0003] Furthermore, the integrated gearbox emphasizes coordinated control and system adaptability, reducing vibration and noise through dynamic balancing technology and equipped with an intelligent monitoring module to provide real-time feedback on operating status. Its advantages lie in fully utilizing waste steam pressure to reduce energy consumption, while the gearbox's high-rigidity materials and optimized tooth profile design extend equipment lifespan. It is suitable for continuous gas supply scenarios in chemical and metallurgical industries, achieving a dual improvement in energy cascade utilization and economic benefits.

[0004] Problems compared with existing technologies: The existing integrated gearbox of partially residual steam driven air compressors lacks a self-locking mechanism during the process of receiving residual steam, which can easily cause the drive components of the air compressor to reverse, and the driving torque of the air compressor needs to be improved.

A coarse filter is fixedly installed at one end of the inlet pipe, a fine filter is fixedly installed at one end of the outlet pipe, and multiple transparent observation windows are fixedly installed on one side of the housing.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: an output mechanism is provided on one side of the rotating shaft for outputting power to the residual pressure steam. The output mechanism includes a bracket, which is welded to the outer wall of the housing. A power output shaft is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a drainage mechanism is provided at the bottom of the vent pipe for draining condensate from the residual pressure steam.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The residual pressure steam is blocked by the impeller blades. The semi-circular impeller blades increase the impact area of ​​the residual pressure steam. The coarse filter prevents other objects from entering the intake pipe, and the fine filter filters dust. The semi-circular impeller blades convert the wind force of the residual pressure steam into the power of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the worm to rotate, and the worm drives the power output shaft to rotate through the worm wheel. The self-locking property of the worm wheel and worm drives the power output shaft to rotate, which boosts the pressure of the air compressor, prevents the air compressor drive components from reversing, and increases the driving torque of the air compressor.

[0019] 2. A negative pressure is generated by a negative pressure pump to attract dust. A baffle plate prevents dust from flowing back and draws dust from the residual pressure steam into the collection box, reducing the pollution of residual pressure steam exhaust gas to the environment. The convex strip is slidably connected to the track to make the collection box.

[0020] 3. The residual pressure steam is cooled by a semiconductor cooling chip, condensing the water vapor into water droplets. The condensate is collected in a collection hopper and discharged through a drain pipe to prevent the waste of condensate in the overall gearbox of the air compressor driven by the residual pressure steam. The exhaust gas of the residual pressure steam is introduced into a diffuser through an exhaust pipe. The diffuser blows air onto the heat dissipation fins, accelerating the airflow at the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip and ensuring the condensation effect of the residual pressure steam.

Impeller blades block the residual steam, while semi-circular impeller blades increase the impact area. A coarse filter prevents other objects from entering the intake pipe, and a fine filter removes dust. The semi-circular impeller blades convert the airflow from the residual steam into power for a rotating shaft. This shaft drives a worm gear, which in turn drives a power output shaft via a worm wheel. The self-locking property of the worm wheel and worm gear drives the power output shaft, thus pressurizing the air compressor. This prevents the compressor's drive components from reversing and increases the driving torque on the air compressor.

The bracket 401 is welded to the outer wall of the housing 100. One end of the bracket 401 is rotatably connected to a power output shaft 402. A worm gear 403 is fixed to the outer side of the power output shaft 402 by bolts. One end of the rotating shaft 101 is fixed to a worm 404 by bolts.

A disc 111 is fixed to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 200 by bolts. Ventilation holes 112 are evenly cut in the middle of the disc 111. A conical groove 113 is cut at one end of the ventilation hole 112.The conical groove 113 collects the residual pressure steam and discharges it through the vent 112, thus initially pressurizing the residual pressure steam.

[0043] In this embodiment, the impeller blades 103 block the residual pressure steam, and the semi-circular impeller blades 103 increase the impact area of ​​the residual pressure steam. The coarse filter 105 prevents other objects from entering the intake pipe 200, and the fine filter 106 filters dust.

The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump 304 attracts dust, and the anti-reverse plate 302 prevents the dust from flowing back. The dust in the residual pressure steam is sucked into the collection box 303, reducing the pollution of the residual pressure steam exhaust gas to the environment.

The diffuser 205 is welded to one end of the exhaust pipe 204, blowing air onto the heat dissipation fins 210 to accelerate the cooling of the semiconductor cooling chip 202. The airflow at the hot end of 02 is provided with a drainage mechanism at the bottom of the outlet pipe 300 to drain the condensate in the residual pressure steam.
