Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam turbines, in particular to a front cylinder casting of a steam turbine of a coal-fired generator set. Background Art

[0002] A steam turbine is a rotary power machine that converts steam into mechanical work, also known as a steam turbine. It is mainly used as a prime mover for power generation, and can also be used as a direct drive source. The cylinder is the outer shell of the steam turbine, which is used to separate the co-flow part of the steam turbine from the large steam, forming a closed steam chamber to ensure that the steam completes the energy conversion process inside the steam turbine. During use, due to failure or replacement, the cylinder needs to be disassembled and the internal parts need to be repaired or replaced.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent publication number CN217029042U discloses a steam turbine cylinder, including a cylinder body, an annular limiting groove is provided at the front and rear ends of the cylinder body, and a plurality of positioning holes are provided on the annular limiting groove, and end covers are provided at both ends of the cylinder body, and the end covers are sleeved on the cylinder body, and the end covers are provided with mounting grooves at the positions corresponding to the positioning holes, and a limiting block is slidably connected in the mounting groove, and a positioning column is fixed at one end of the limiting block, and the other end of the adjustment rod passes through the end cover, and the cylinder body includes a left cylinder body and a right cylinder body, and the upper and lower ends of the left cylinder body are respectively provided with a left stepped notch, and a groove is provided in the left stepped notch, and the upper and lower ends of the right cylinder body are respectively provided with a right stepped notch, and a convex strip is provided in the right stepped notch. The design of the end cover and the positioning column can realize the connection between the end cover and the cylinder body through the positioning column, and the end cover is convenient to disassemble, so as to inspect the internal parts of the cylinder body; the design of the left cylinder body and the right cylinder body can realize the detachability of the cylinder body, and after the cylinder body is opened, a larger operating space is provided for inspection, which is convenient for inspection.

[0004] However, the cylinder structure has certain defects in actual use: the structural design is unreasonable. Due to the relatively heavy weight of the cylinder, left stepped notches are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the left cylinder body, and a groove is provided in the left stepped notch. Right stepped notches are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the right cylinder body, and a convex strip is provided in the right stepped notch. The left stepped notch and the right stepped notch are matched with each other, and the groove and the convex strip are matched with each other. It is troublesome to operate during assembly and disassembly, resulting in low efficiency of inspection or maintenance. In addition, both the left and right cylinder bodies are arc structures, and the positioning is unreliable. The cylinder is prone to vibration and has poor stability during operation. The outer ring insulation layer of the cylinder body is mostly bolted or directly adhered to the cylinder surface. This structure has limited insulation effect and is inconvenient for staff to replace the insulation layer. Utility Model Content
