Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of centrifugal compressor equipment, in particular to a centrifugal compressor guide vane regulating mechanism and a driving principle applied to the fields of refrigeration and chemical industry. Background Art

[0002] In the process of refrigeration and chemical industry, centrifugal compressor is an indispensable core equipment. Since compressed gas usually exhibits high pressure, high temperature, flammable and explosive characteristics, and some gases are highly toxic, once the gas leaks, the performance of the entire compressor and its process will be affected. More importantly, the gas leaks into the environment and pollutes the environment. If it is flammable, explosive or toxic gas, human life will be threatened. Therefore, zero gas leakage is required during the operation of the compressor, and the guide vane adjustment device, as an important part of the compressor, has the main function of controlling the suction volume of the compressor, so as to control the overall performance of the compressor and make the performance parameters of the compressor meet the requirements of the process.

[0003] According to the contents disclosed in patent CN103016384B, the guide vane actuator is installed outside the housing, is coaxially connected to an active guide vane through a drive shaft, and rotates with the drive shaft, and then drives other guide vanes to rotate together through the connecting rod, spherical coupling and drive ring.

[0004] According to the disclosure of patent CN 105020162 A, the guide vane is connected to the fork, one end of the fork is a U-shaped structural groove, a ball head rolling body is installed on the drive ring, the drive ring drives the ball head rolling body to move, and the ball head rolling body pushes the fork to drive the guide vane to rotate together.

[0005] According to the characteristics of the guide vane mechanism and the structural features of the related actuators described in the above two patents, there are the following common problems:

[0006] Question 1: The electric actuator is installed outside the housing, and the guide vane mechanism is driven to rotate by the drive shaft extending out of the housing. The drive shaft and the housing are sealed by multiple O-rings to ensure that the pressure in the housing does not leak. The problem caused by this is that long-term operation will cause the O-ring to age and fail, and the risk of gas leakage is very high. In addition, there is a large friction between the O-ring and the rotating main shaft, which causes the friction torque of the main shaft to increase. A larger electric actuator must be used to ensure the normal operation of the adjustment mechanism. The selection of a larger actuator will increase the procurement cost. In addition, the actuator is installed outside the housing, which makes the entire adjustment device larger and occupies more space. At the same time, the electric actuator is prone to bumping during transportation and assembly.

[0007] Question 2: The guide vane connection usually adopts shift blocks, shift forks and hinges. The guide vane and the casing are equipped with a shaft sleeve, which is generally made of carbon steel, copper, aluminum alloy and other materials. The friction coefficient between the components is large. If it does not work for a long time, the contact surface of the connecting parts will be affected by oxidation corrosion, making the entire adjustment device inflexible and even stuck in severe cases.

[0008] Question three, the guide vane is generally an active rotating guide vane, which is directly driven by an electric actuator through a drive shaft, and then drives the drive ring to rotate through the connecting parts installed on the active guide vane. The connecting parts connected to the drive ring are connected to other guide vanes and drive them to rotate, which will cause the drive ring to rotate eccentrically. The active guide vanes and driven guide vanes are subjected to uneven force during rotation, increasing the failure risk of the active guide vanes and their related connecting parts.
