[0030] Working principle and process:

[0031] When the expander body 1 is working, the gas passes through the impeller 15 and causes pressure at the same time. The adjusting disk 12 will automatically sense the size of the pressure, and through its own rotation, it drives the small surface shaft to move inside the adjusting groove 16 opened on the surface of the nozzle guide vane 13. During the movement, the opening angle of the nozzle guide vane 13 is adjusted to adapt to the pressure brought by the gas. At the same time, the fixed disk 14 is used to penetrate the nozzle guide vane 13, which not only provides a rotation point for the nozzle guide vane 13, but also because the fixed disk 14 is fixedly connected to the expander body 1, it can also prevent the nozzle guide vane 13 from falling when rotating. A second adjusting component is also provided on the right side of the impeller 15. If the adjustment effect on the left side cannot reach the ideal effect, another adjusting component is started. When the gas passes through the air duct 2 and reaches the threaded cover 5, the motor 4 will automatically sense the pressure. When the pressure is too high, the motor 4 will automatically The driving wheel 8 starts to rotate and drives the linkage belt 9 and the adjusting blade 7, thereby changing the gap between the adjusting blade 7 and the fixed blade 6 to adapt to the internal pressure. A latch tooth 17 is fixedly arranged inside the threaded cover 5, and a fixed sleeve 18 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the adjusting blade 7. When the adjusting blade 7 rotates, the latch shaft 11 collides with the latch tooth 17. At the same time, the latch shaft 11 squeezes the spring 10 inside the fixed sleeve 18 and continuously recovers it to the inside of the fixed sleeve 18, and finally pops out at the next tooth position. The fixing plate 3 at the top of the air guide 2 is used to fix the motor 4. This device realizes the effect of automatically balancing the pressure generated by the airflow and the internal blades of the expander, and has the effects of reducing the influence of the airflow pressure on the expander blades, reducing the friction between the blades and the nozzle, and ensuring the normal operation of the expander.
