DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model discloses a steam seal structure for a steam turbine with high sealing performance, a steam seal structure for a steam turbine with high sealing performance, comprising a steam seal shell 1, an air inlet chamber 2 arranged at the upper part of the steam seal shell 1, and a pressure relief steam pipe 3 arranged at the bottom of the steam seal shell 1, the pressure relief steam pipe 3 being arranged so that when steam enters the air inlet chamber 2, the pressure relief steam pipe 3 discharges excess steam from the steam seal shell 1 separately, and further comprising: an air outlet chamber 4 arranged at one end of the bottom of the steam seal shell 1, one end of the air outlet chamber 4 being through-connected to one end of the pressure relief steam pipe 3; a transmission hub mechanism 5 arranged inside the steam seal shell 1, the transmission hub mechanism 5 comprising an axial hub 501, a roller shaft 502 and a moving blade grid 503; a one-way ventilation pressure relief mechanism 6 arranged on the pressure relief steam pipe 3, the one-way ventilation pressure relief mechanism 6 comprising a one-way ventilation valve 601, a receiving door 602, a torque spring 603 and an opening and closing valve 604; a stationary blade grid 7 arranged inside the steam seal shell 1, and the number of the stationary blade grid 7 is several.

[0023] Specifically, roller shafts 502 are fixedly connected to both ends of the axial hub 501, and a moving blade cascade 503 is provided on the surface of the axial hub 501;

[0024] There are a plurality of moving blade cascades 503 , and the plurality of moving blade cascades 503 are evenly distributed on the surface of the axial hub 501 in a straight line.

[0025] In this embodiment, as steam enters the steam seal housing 1 and circulates, the axial hub 501 drives the rollers 502 and the moving blade cascades 503 at both ends to rotate inside the steam seal housing 1 .

[0026] Specifically, both ends of the one-way vent valve 601 are connected to the pressure relief steam pipe 3, and a receiving door 602 is fixedly connected to the middle of the one-way vent valve 601. The surface of the receiving door 602 is rotatably connected to an opening and closing valve 604 through a torque spring 603;

[0027] Both ends of the surface of the one-way vent valve 601 are connected to the pressure relief steam pipe 3 through threaded bolts 8 and threaded caps 9, and both ends of the one-way vent valve 601 are fitted with sealing rubber rings 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the steam pressure is too high, the steam enters from the pressure relief steam pipe 3 at the bottom of the steam seal shell 1, and when passing through the one-way vent valve 601, it pushes the on-off valve 604 to open, so that the pressure relief steam pipe 3 is connected to the air outlet chamber 4 to discharge excess steam. When no steam enters, the on-off valve 604 automatically closes under the action of the torque spring 603 to prevent steam backflow. The threaded bolt 8 and threaded cap 9 provided on the one-way vent valve 601 facilitate fixing the one-way vent pressure relief mechanism 6 on the pressure relief steam pipe 3. At the same time, sealing rubber rings 10 are added to both ends of the one-way vent valve 601 to improve the sealing performance during exhaust.

[0029] Specifically, a plurality of stationary blade cascades 7 are evenly distributed in a straight line inside the steam seal housing 1 , and the inner ends of adjacent stationary blade cascades 7 are embedded with moving blade cascades 503 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the stationary blade grid 7 and the moving blade grid 503 are arranged inside the steam seal housing 1. The stationary blade grid 7 is mainly responsible for guiding and optimizing the flow of steam, while the moving blade grid 503 converts the kinetic energy of the steam into mechanical energy to drive the transmission hub mechanism 5 to rotate.

[0031] Specifically, the surfaces of the roller shaft 502 are rotatably connected to both ends of the steam seal housing 1 , and the steam seal housing 1 includes an upper shell 101 and a lower shell 102 , and the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102 are seamlessly welded.

[0032] In this embodiment, the steam seal housing 1 adopts seamless welding of the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102, which ensures that the transmission hub mechanism 5 is installed inside the lower shell 102 before the product is manufactured, and the upper shell 101 is fixed to the upper part of the lower shell 102 by seamless welding technology, forming a complete steam turbine structure with high sealing performance.

[0033] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, steam enters the interior of the steam seal housing 1 through the air inlet chamber 2, and a part of the steam circulates through the internal annular air inlet chamber 11 of the steam seal housing 1 and is discharged from the air outlet chamber 4.

[0034] Afterwards, when the internal pressure of the steam seal shell 1 is too high, another part of the wind steam enters from the pressure relief steam pipe 3 and is discharged to the air outlet chamber 4 from the one-way ventilation and pressure relief mechanism 6, thereby ensuring the internal circulation efficiency of the turbine steam seal structure. At the same time, the excess steam is guided and discharged, which effectively reduces the internal pressure of the steam seal structure. The rotation principle of the torque spring 603 is utilized to ensure the one-way closure of the opening and closing valve 604, thereby preventing steam from flowing back into the steam seal structure.

[0035] In summary, the high-sealing steam turbine steam seal structure ensures the internal circulation efficiency of the steam turbine steam seal structure by means of the pressure relief steam pipe 3 arranged at the bottom of the steam seal housing 1, while guiding and discharging excess steam, thereby effectively reducing the internal pressure of the steam seal structure. The rotation principle of the torque spring 603 is utilized to ensure the one-way closure of the opening and closing valve 604, thereby preventing steam from flowing back into the steam seal structure, thereby improving the airtightness of the steam seal structure.
