Installed on the steam outlet of the regulating valve body 1, the steam inlet connecting flange 8 has a main channel and a supplementary steam channel. The supplementary steam channel is used to increase the steam outlet diameter of the main steam. The main channel is connected to the steam outlet of the regulating valve body 1, and the main steam enters the steam turbine through the main channel. The supplementary steam inlet regulating valve core 9 cooperates with the steam inlet connecting flange 8 and controls the opening and closing of the supplementary steam channel by displacement. The regulating valve rod 5 is fitted with the main regulating valve core 6 and the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve core 9. The regulating valve rod 5 is used to synchronously drive the main regulating valve core 6 and the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve core 9. The servo pump electro-hydraulic control system 4 is poweredly connected to the regulating valve rod 5 and is used to control the displacement of the regulating valve rod 5.
[0015] A regulating valve seal 3 is provided between the regulating valve cover 2 and the regulating valve rod 5. The steam inlet connecting flange 8 has an annular outlet, and the outlet of the steam inlet connecting flange 8 is divided into an independent outlet section 1 and outlet section 2, which are respectively connected to the main channel and the make-up steam channel.
[0016] The steam inlet connection flange 8 includes an outer cylinder, and a cone is provided at the axial position of the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder and the cone are connected by a connecting plate and form a flow gap. The outlet of the steam inlet connection flange 8 is arranged around the cone. The inner end of the cone is provided with a middle inner hole, which is connected to the outlet section. The steam inlet regulating valve core 9 is fitted in the middle inner hole of the cone. The steam inlet regulating valve core 9 can be axially displaced in the inner hole of the cone. When the outward displacement of the steam inlet regulating valve core 9 exceeds the design value A, a gap is formed between the steam inlet regulating valve core 9 and the middle inner hole. In the closed state, the valve core 6 and the valve seat 7 of the main regulating valve are sealed together, and the valve core 9 and the inner hole of the cone of the steam inlet regulating valve are sealed together. No steam passes through the main passage and the steam inlet passage. When the main steam is in the open state, the displacement of the main regulating valve core 6 required for the main steam to open is less than the outward displacement of the regulating valve rod 5 and less than the design value A. A gap is formed between the main regulating valve core 6 and the main regulating valve seat 7. The main steam enters the turbine through the main channel of the steam inlet connection flange 8. The steam inlet regulating valve core 9 and the inner hole of the cone are still sealed. No steam passes through the steam inlet channel. When the supplementary steam is open, the outward displacement of the regulating valve rod 5 is greater than or equal to the design value A. A gap is formed between the valve core 9 of the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve and the inner hole of the cone body. The supplementary steam channel is open, and the main steam enters the turbine through the main channel of the steam inlet connecting flange 8. The supplementary steam enters the turbine through the supplementary steam channel of the steam inlet connecting flange 8.
[0017] By designing and adjusting the ratio of the valve core to the first and second sections of the steam inlet flange outlet, different steam replenishment requirements and steam inlet degree designs can be met, addressing various parameter design requirements. This can be used for steam inlet degree design, and the size of the valve core 9 also needs to be adjusted according to its proportion.
[0018] Specifically: A turbine regulating valve for controlling the supplementary steam at the steam inlet includes a main regulating valve and a supplementary steam inlet regulating valve. The main regulating valve and the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve share a set of regulating valves. The regulating valve is provided with a regulating valve body, a regulating valve cover, a regulating valve seal, a servo pump electro-hydraulic control system, a regulating valve rod, a main regulating valve core, a main regulating valve seat, a steam inlet connection flange, and a supplementary steam inlet regulating valve core.
[0019] The regulating valve body serves as a support and pressure-bearing component, connected to the regulating valve cover, and has an inlet and an outlet. The regulating valve is sealed and installed in the inner hole of the regulating valve cover. The servo pump electro-hydraulic control system is located outside the regulating valve body, supported on the regulating valve cover, and connected to the regulating valve lever. The regulating valve lever passes through the regulating valve cover and the inner hole of the regulating valve seal, connecting the main regulating valve core and the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve core. The main regulating valve seat is installed inside the regulating valve body, with its inner hole fitting with the outer circle of the main regulating valve core. When closed, it is in a surface-fitting sealing state, isolating the regulating valve valve body. The valve body has a steam inlet and an outlet; the steam inlet of the steam inlet connecting flange is connected to the steam outlet of the regulating valve body; the outlet of the steam inlet connecting flange is divided into two independent steam outlets, one of which is directly connected to the outlet of the regulating valve body, and the other of which is connected to the outer circle of the steam replenishment regulating valve core through the middle inner hole. When the steam replenishment regulating valve core moves outward a certain distance, a gap appears at the position of the valve core and the steam inlet connecting flange, and the two outlets are connected; by adjusting the ratio of the steam replenishment regulating valve core to the first and second outlets of the steam inlet connecting flange, different steam replenishment needs and partial steam inlet design can be met, and various parameter design requirements can be addressed.
[0020] When steam enters through the steam inlet of the regulating valve body, the servo pump electro-hydraulic control system adjusts the position of the regulating valve lever, causing the valve core of the main regulating valve and the valve core of the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve to move, opening and increasing the gap between the valve core of the main regulating valve and the valve seat of the main regulating valve, allowing steam to enter. The valve cover of the regulating valve and the regulating valve seal to prevent steam from flowing to the outside; and enter the steam turbine from one outlet section of the steam inlet connecting flange; when the distance moved by the regulating valve lever is small, the two outlet sections of the steam inlet connecting flange are still sealed; as the distance increases, when the design value A is reached, a gap appears between the steam inlet connecting flange and the valve core of the supplementary steam inlet regulating valve, and the two outlet sections of the steam inlet connecting flange open, thereby achieving the effect of supplementary steam.

Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
