Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water turbine units, in particular to a novel water turbine unit top cover. Background Art

[0002] As one of the core fixed components of the pump-turbine unit, the top cover plays a dual role of load bearing and current passing in the entire unit. The strength, rigidity and safety reliability of the top cover have a vital impact on the stable operation of the entire unit. In order to meet the ever-changing load requirements of the power grid, the pump-turbine unit needs to experience frequent start-stop, load increase and decrease, load shedding and other harsh transient processes in actual operation.

[0003] During the transient process, the flow inside the pump-turbine is transient and changeable, and the water pressure amplitude is much higher than the rated operating condition of the unit. The top cover structure is subjected to complex and changeable high-amplitude water pressure, and the stress of the top cover is constantly changing with time and the change of working conditions. The high-amplitude non-stable axial water thrust during the transient process causes large deformation and stress concentration on the top cover, which may cause cracks on the top cover structure, damage the top cover structure, and even cause major accidents such as the destruction of the hydropower station and the loss of life. Therefore, studying the stress response of the top cover under high-amplitude water pressure during the transient process is of great significance to the safe operation of the power station.

[0004] The existing Chinese patent number CN219549019U discloses a pump-turbine unit top cover, including an upper ring plate, a middle support plate and a lower ring plate, wherein the upper ring plate and the lower ring plate are connected via the middle support plate, wherein the middle support plate includes a circumferential support rib plate and a radial support rib plate, wherein the circumferential support rib plate and the radial support rib plate are vertically connected to each other and evenly connected between the upper ring plate and the lower ring plate, wherein the circumferential support rib plate and the upper ring plate and the lower ring plate and the radial support rib plate are welded to each other. To improve the connection strength of the top cover, a stress dispersion structure is provided in the stress concentration area where the circumferential support rib plate and the radial support rib plate are connected to improve the stress concentration phenomenon.

[0005] Although the above patent can improve the stress concentration phenomenon by increasing the connection strength of the top cover and setting a stress dispersion structure in the stress concentration area where the circumferential support ribs and the radial support ribs are connected, when installing the movable guide vanes, since the diameters of the movable guide vane fixing ports opened on the upper cover and the lower cover are relatively fixed, when the movable guide vanes are hoisted by a crane, the two ends of the movable guide vanes are not convenient to dock with the movable guide vane fixing ports, which is inconvenient to use.

[0006] Therefore, we make improvements to this and propose a new type of turbine unit top cover. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, two adjacent guide plates are fixedly connected by a rubber belt, and the four groups of guide plates enclose a space for guiding the shaft necks at both ends of the movable guide vane plates.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the middle support plates are evenly distributed in an array around the center of the upper ring plate, and through holes are opened inside the middle support plates.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that in the utility model, by setting a guide assembly, the guide plates in the guide assembly can be used to guide the shaft necks at both ends of the movable guide vane plate. When the movable guide vane plate is hoisted by a crane, it is easier to guide the movable guide vane plate, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the movable guide vane plate, and making it more convenient and quick to use.

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0021] Example: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model is a novel water turbine unit top cover, including an upper ring plate 1, a middle support plate 3 and a lower ring plate 2, the upper ring plate 1 and the lower ring plate 2 are connected by the middle support plate 3, the upper ring plate 1 and the lower ring plate 2 are evenly arrayed with movable guide vane fixing openings 5, the movable guide vane fixing openings 5 ​​are rotatably connected with movable guide vane plates 7, both ends of the movable guide vane plates 7 are integrally formed with shaft necks 6, and the movable guide vane fixing openings 5 ​​are provided with guide assemblies, the guide assemblies include a fixing seat 8, the fixing seat 8 is fixedly connected to the lower ring plate 2, the guide assembly also includes a guide plate 9 rotatably arranged on the fixing seat 8 through a rotating shaft, and the guide plates 9 are evenly arrayed in four groups in the circumferential direction of the fixing seat 8.

[0022] By utilizing the guide assembly provided on the upper ring plate 1 and the lower ring plate 2, the four groups of guide plates 9 that can be deployed in the guide assembly can be used to guide the installation of the shaft necks 6 integrally formed at both ends of the movable guide vane plate 7, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the movable guide vane plate 7.

[0023] The fixed seat 8 is provided with a cavity 81 for the shaft necks 6 at both ends of the movable guide vane plate 7 to pass through. The back of the guide plate 9 is fixedly connected with a spring 10 which is arranged at an inclined angle. The end of the spring 10 away from the guide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower ring plate 2.

[0024] By utilizing the spring 10 fixedly connected between the back of the guide plate 9 and the lower surface of the upper ring plate 1 and the upper surface of the lower ring plate 2, it is easier to guide the installation position of the shaft neck 6 integrally formed at both ends of the movable guide vane plate 7, making it more convenient to use.

[0025] Two groups of fixing seats 8 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction, one group of fixing seats 8 is fixedly connected to the lower ring plate 2 , and the other group of fixing seats 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper ring plate 1 .

[0026] By using a set of fixing seats 8 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper ring plate 1, it is easier to install the shaft neck 6 at the upper end of the movable guide vane plate 7. At the same time, by using the fixing seats 8 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower ring plate 2, it is easier to install the shaft neck 6 at the lower end of the movable guide vane plate 7, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the movable guide vane plate 7.
