Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bearing detection, and in particular relates to a bearing detection device for a steam turbine. Background Art

[0002] In electric power production, steam turbines are important large-scale equipment. Since steam turbines are subject to heavy loads and long operating times during use, high requirements are placed on the strength and reliability of steam turbine components.

[0003] During the use of the steam turbine, the main shaft bearing is subjected to large forces and the amount of movement is accumulated, so it is more likely to have defects such as wear. The relative position accuracy and shape accuracy of the main shaft bearing have an important impact on the overall operating stability and reliability of the steam turbine.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections on turbine bearings to ensure that they meet the requirements of use. Currently, the inspection of turbine bearings is mainly carried out by scanning the bearing surface with optical sensors to observe the wear of the bearings, and by using ultrasonic flaw detectors to inspect the inside of the bearings to detect whether there are cracks inside the bearings.

[0005] When using an optical sensor to scan the bearing surface, since the camera of the optical sensor is mostly exposed to the external environment, dust is generated on the camera surface after long-term use, thereby affecting the scanning accuracy of the optical sensor. When using an ultrasonic flaw detector to inspect the inside of the bearing, it is usually necessary to manually hold the ultrasonic flaw detector to operate, which is inefficient.

[0006] In addition, the existing detection device has a single function and can only detect the surface of the bearing, but cannot detect the temperature of the bearing. In addition, the bearings used in steam turbines are large in size and heavy in weight, and they need to be manually turned over for all-round detection during the detection process, which causes high labor intensity for the staff.

A first motor 4 is arranged on the outer side of the shell 1, and one end of the rotating shaft 202 passes through the side wall of the shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4. The rotating shaft 202 is driven to rotate by the first motor 4, and the bearing to be tested is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 202, thereby driving the bearing to rotate and testing the bearing.

[0031] An ultrasonic detection component is also provided in the housing 1, and the ultrasonic detection component is located directly above the support component. The ultrasonic detection component includes a fixing plate 501, and the fixing plate 501 is fixed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the housing 1.
