Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an auxiliary tool for assembling a steam turbine, in particular to an auxiliary tool for taking over a nuclear power high-voltage outer cylinder. Background Art

[0002] A steam turbine is composed of multiple working cylinders, rotor components and steam pipes, so its assembly process involves the docking of the working cylinders with steam pipes (such as steam inlet pipes, steam extraction pipes, etc.).

[0003] The main body of the high-pressure cylinder used in nuclear power is a casting, and the outer cylinder mouth of the high-pressure outer cylinder is assembled with the high-pressure pipe (extraction pipe or steam inlet pipe) by a full penetration welding structure. According to technical requirements, the pipe mouth diameter of the high-pressure pipe is about Φ200~1400mm, the wall thickness is about 10~60mm, and the weight is about 200~2000KG. During the pipe welding process, a torque of 1000KG is required, and the concentricity of the high-pressure pipe and the outer cylinder mouth is controlled within 0.5mm.

[0004] Due to the large size and weight of the high-pressure pipe, it is difficult to assemble it in place at one time during the assembly process. It requires constant fine-tuning and inspection. Under the premise of meeting the above technical requirements, the operating efficiency is very low. Moreover, during the repeated fine-tuning of the high-pressure pipe, due to its large weight, the displacement inertia is large, and the thickness of the butt joint is only 2mm. Once it deviates, the high-pressure pipe is easy to fall and cause a safety accident. In addition, during the welding process, the welding groove between the high-pressure pipe and the outer cylinder pipe mouth lacks effective support and positioning. As the circumferential weld shrinks, the root gap of the welding groove will gradually become smaller, which increases the difficulty of penetration technology and is prone to welding quality defects such as unfused welds.

[0005] In summary, based on the particularity of the assembly between the nuclear power high-voltage outer cylinder and the high-voltage pipe, it is necessary to design an auxiliary tooling that is conducive to the assembly operation. The applicant has searched the disclosed prior art and has not found any related technology disclosed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary tooling for the nuclear power high-voltage outer cylinder take-over which can effectively improve the working efficiency, assembly safety and assembly quality in view of the particularity of the assembly between the above-mentioned nuclear power high-voltage outer cylinder and the high-voltage take-over and the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0007] The technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: an auxiliary tooling for a nuclear power high-voltage outer cylinder pipe connection, the auxiliary tooling having a transfer block, the outer facade of the transfer block having an outwardly convex raised protrusion; the outer facade at the upper side of the raised protrusion has an upper positioning surface, the outer facade at the lower side of the raised protrusion has a lower positioning surface, the upper positioning surface and the lower positioning surface are matched with the concentricity requirement of the pipe connection operation; in the pipe connection operation, the transfer block is arranged at the inner side of the outer cylinder pipe mouth of the high-pressure outer cylinder, and is fitted and fixed with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder pipe mouth with the lower positioning surface, and the raised protrusion of the transfer block is located at the edge of the outer cylinder pipe mouth with a radial extension structure; the high-pressure pipe connection is sleeved on the periphery of the transfer block, the transfer block is fitted and fixed with the inner wall surface of the high-pressure pipe connection with the upper positioning surface, and the bottom edge of the high-pressure pipe connection is located on the raised protrusion of the transfer block.

[0008] The above-mentioned technical measures are arranged at the inner side of the outer cylinder pipe mouth of the high-pressure outer cylinder through the adapter block, and the lower positioning surface is fitted and fixed to the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder pipe mouth, which effectively ensures the concentricity of the outer cylinder pipe mouth and the high-pressure connecting pipe interface, reduces the complicated work process of repeated fine-tuning and inspection, improves the working efficiency, and reduces the safety risks in assembly; and the raising protrusion of the adapter block is located at the edge of the outer cylinder pipe mouth with a radial extension structure. The raising protrusion can fix the groove gap value, so that the groove gap will not become smaller as the weld seam shrinks, thereby ensuring the assembly quality.

[0009] On the outer facade at the lower side of the raised protrusion, there is a lower guide slope formed with a slope structure at the bottom of the lower positioning surface;

[0010] During the pipe connection operation, the adapter block is inserted and arranged on the inner side of the outer cylinder pipe opening through the lower guide slope.

[0011] The above technical measures can quickly guide the device into the interior of the high-pressure outer cylinder pipe mouth by contacting the lower guiding inclined surface with the high-pressure outer cylinder pipe mouth, reduce the collision between the device and the high-pressure outer cylinder, and improve the operation efficiency.

[0012] On the outer facade at the upper side of the raised protrusion, there is an upper guide slope formed with a slope structure and located at the top of the upper positioning surface;

[0013] During the pipe connection operation, the high-pressure pipe is sleeved onto the periphery of the adapter block through the upper guide slope.

[0014] The above technical measures can quickly guide the high-pressure pipe to align with the docking port of the high-pressure outer cylinder by contacting the pipe mouth of the high-pressure pipe with the upper guiding slope, thereby reducing the collision between the device and the high-pressure pipe and improving the working efficiency.

[0015] In the pipe connection operation, the transfer blocks are multiple blocks arranged at annular intervals;

[0016] The two adjacent transfer blocks in the annular direction are independent structures.

[0017] The above technical measures ensure that the concentricity of the assembly meets the technical requirements of the assembly through the coordination of multiple adapter blocks, while facilitating subsequent disassembly.

[0018] During the pipe connection operation, the adapter block is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder pipe opening by spot welding.

[0019] During the pipe connection operation, the adapter block is fixedly connected to the high-voltage pipe by spot welding.

[0020] The above technical measures fix the connecting pipe and the outer cylinder to the adapter block by spot welding, thereby avoiding damage to the equipment structure and reducing the risk of the connecting pipe shifting and falling, with a high degree of safety.

[0021] The thickness between the upper and lower sides of the raised protrusion on the outer vertical surface of the adapter block corresponds to the design gap of the welding groove in the pipe connection operation.

[0022] The top side and the bottom side of the raised protrusion are respectively planar structures.

[0023] The above technical measures increase the stress area during welding, increase the ability of the connecting pipe to resist shrinkage and deformation, ensure that the gap value at the root of the connecting pipe rupture will not decrease due to welding shrinkage during welding, and have high assembly accuracy.

[0024] The upper positioning surface and the lower positioning surface of the adapter block are matched with each other in a coplanar structure. This technical measure is conducive to improving the accuracy of the interface assembly.

[0025] The beneficial technical effect of the utility model is as follows: the utility model arranges a plurality of adapter blocks at the inner side of the outer cylinder pipe mouth of the high-pressure outer cylinder, and the lower positioning surface is fitted and fixed with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder pipe mouth, which effectively ensures the concentricity of the outer cylinder pipe mouth and the high-pressure connecting pipe, reduces the complex work process of repeated fine-tuning and inspection, improves the working efficiency, and reduces the safety risks in assembly; and the raising protrusion of the adapter block is located at the edge of the outer cylinder pipe mouth with a radial extension structure, and the raising protrusion can fix the groove gap value, so that the groove gap will not become smaller as the welding seam shrinks, thereby ensuring the assembly quality.

[0032] The outer facade at the upper side of the aforementioned raised protrusion 2 has an upper positioning surface 3, and correspondingly, the outer facade at the lower side of the raised protrusion 2 has a lower positioning surface 4; further, the upper positioning surface 3 and the lower positioning surface 4 are matched with a coplanar structure and meet the concentricity requirements of the pipe connection operation.

[0033] The outer facade at the lower side of the aforementioned raised protrusion 2 has a lower guide slope 7 with an inclined structure located at the bottom of the lower positioning surface 4; correspondingly, the outer facade at the upper side of the raised protrusion 2 has an upper guide slope 8 with an inclined structure located at the top of the upper positioning surface 3.

[0034] During the pipe connection operation, multiple adapter blocks 1 are arranged at annular intervals on the inner side of the outer cylinder pipe mouth 5 of the high-pressure outer cylinder and fixed by spot welding. The fixed adapter blocks 1 are fixed by the lower positioning surface 4 and the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder pipe mouth 5. The padding protrusion 2 of the above-mentioned adapter block 1 is located at the edge of the outer cylinder pipe mouth 5 in a radially extended structure, and the two adjacent adapter blocks 1 in the annular direction are independent structures.

[0039] Step 3. Use a magnetic crane to hoist the high-voltage pipe 6 to be assembled into the work area for joint docking and assembly;
