Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steam turbine fast-closing valves, and in particular relates to a valve butterfly anti-rotation device for a steam turbine fast-closing valve. Background Art

[0002] Steam turbine is a rotary steam power device, commonly used in power plants, and also widely used in chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, natural gas and other industrial fields. Steam turbine quick-closing valve is also called quick-closing main steam valve. When the steam turbine is shut down normally or in an emergency, the quick-closing valve can be quickly closed to cut off the steam inlet of the steam turbine to achieve the purpose of shutdown.

[0003] At present, the valve stem of some steam turbine quick-closing valves directly penetrates the quick-closing valve pre-starting valve gland and is fixed inside the valve butterfly by threads. There is no radial blocking or limiting mechanism of the valve butterfly to prevent the valve butterfly from rotating freely around the valve stem. The valve stem and valve butterfly installation mechanism mainly has the following shortcomings:

[0004] During turbine operation, the fast closing valve is in the open state. High-velocity steam enters the valve seat chamber of the fast closing valve and impacts the valve butterfly. The valve butterfly will rotate around the valve stem axis under the impact force. The continuous rotation of the valve butterfly will cause metal fatigue wear at the contact between the pre-start valve cover and the valve stem. Wear of the contact between the valve butterfly pre-start valve cover and the valve stem will cause the pre-start valve stroke of the fast closing valve to increase, causing internal leakage of the valve. Replacing the worn pre-start valve cover and gate stem will cause economic losses. At the same time, if the fast closing valve leaks during turbine operation, it will affect the reliability of the normal and emergency shutdown of the turbine, and cause hidden dangers to the safe operation of the turbine.

[0005] To this end, the utility model proposes a steam turbine quick-closing valve butterfly anti-rotation device. Utility Model Content
