Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water turbine generator sets, and specifically relates to an integral oil tank sealing cover structure. Background Art
[0002] The supporting bearings of the main shaft of the hydro-turbine generator set generally use self-lubricating sliding bearings, and the bearing bushes are immersed in lubricating oil. When the unit is running, on the one hand, the lubricating oil is repeatedly stirred and collided in the oil tank, generating a large number of bubbles, which form oil mist after bursting; on the other hand, the oil film on the bearing bush has a higher temperature locally, and the lubricating oil vaporizes at a higher temperature, also forming oil mist. Therefore, for hydro-turbine generators, the generation of oil mist is inevitable, and as the speed of the unit increases, especially the linear speed of large units is higher, the oil splashes everywhere, generating more oil mist, and the severity increases significantly.
[0003] The oil mist escape phenomenon inside the hydropower unit causes the oil mist to escape from the gap between the generator shaft and the oil tank, generating a negative pressure during the operation of the unit. The circulating oil flow in and out of the oil tank is in a turbulent state. The collision and impact between oil molecules and between the moving and static parts and the oil will cause the circulating oil to vaporize and produce oil mist, which overflows through the narrow gap between the generator shaft and the oil tank cover, resulting in a large amount of lubricating oil and oil mist leakage. In order to seal the oil mist generated in the oil tank, as shown in the prior document No. CN203248722U, the anti-oil mist device includes an annular sealing cylinder and a flange-shaped sealing outer body, one end of the sealing cylinder is connected to the inner edge of the sealing outer body by bolts, and the rotating shaft of the generator passes through the sealing cylinder. It is characterized in that a respirator is installed on the sealing outer body, and an oil slinger is installed on the surface of the rotating shaft; an upper chamber and a lower chamber are provided on the inner circumference of the sealing cylinder, and sealing teeth are provided between the upper chamber and the lower chamber and in the sealing grooves on both sides, and an oil mist absorption layer corresponding to the oil slinger is provided on the inner edge of the sealing outer body; an automatic oil mist absorption processing device and an air supply device are installed on the sealing outer body, and an air inlet interface connected to the air supply device is provided in the upper chamber; and an oil mist absorption interface connected to the automatic oil mist absorption processing device is provided in the lower chamber.
[0004] The above-mentioned structural deficiencies are mainly as follows: First, an upper chamber is set on the oil tank cover, and the upper chamber is connected to the air supply device, but each upper chamber is independent, and the gas pressure entering it is determined by its own air supply device, resulting in large pressure fluctuations between the gases in each upper chamber, and the pressure difference between the gap between the rotating shaft and the sealing cylinder and the sealing ring of the gas in each upper chamber is large, and it is difficult to meet the uniformity requirements, thereby reducing the sealing effect and reducing the service life of the sealing ring. Second, the lower chamber set on the oil tank cover is connected to the automatic oil mist treatment device, and each lower chamber is independent. The pressure and speed of the gas sucked are determined by their own automatic oil mist treatment device. The pressure fluctuations of the gas between the lower chambers are large, and the flow rate is difficult to control within a suitable range. The volume of the oil-containing gas in the oil tank flowing into each lower chamber also fluctuates greatly. Third, there are usually more air supply devices and oil mist treatment devices, and there are also more gas pipelines and control lines, which is not convenient for on-site equipment layout.

[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] See attached Figures 1 to 5 The integral oil tank sealing cover structure of the generator provided in this embodiment cooperates with the rotating shaft 1 of the generator, and is specifically arranged around the circumference of the rotating shaft 1 of the generator. The oil tank cover 2 is arranged around the circumference of the rotating shaft 1, and the oil tank cover 2 covers the lubricating oil tank of the generator to form a closed cover; the oil tank cover 2 forms a sealing surface with the corresponding part of the surface of the rotating shaft 1, and a gap is left between the two, and the oil tank cover 2 cannot block the normal rotation of the rotating shaft 1.
[0033] The oil tank cover 2 of the utility model is an annular structure, in which an annular air supply channel 3 and an air suction channel 4 are respectively arranged. In the height direction (axial direction) of the rotating shaft 1, the air supply channel 3 is usually arranged on the top and the air suction channel 4 is arranged on the bottom, and the two form a structure arranged up and down; or the two form a parallel arrangement structure in the height direction. The upper and lower ends of the oil tank cover 2 are respectively provided with an upper sealing ring 5 and a lower sealing ring 6 to block the gap between the oil tank cover 2 and the rotating shaft 1; the upper sealing ring 5 and the lower sealing ring 6 are usually made of soft materials to form a flexible sealing structure.
[0034] The air supply channel 3 is connected with the air supply device 7. A plurality of air supply holes 9 are circumferentially arranged on the front side of the air supply channel 3 (the side facing the rotating shaft). The air supply holes 9 are connected with the gap between the rotating shaft 1 and the oil tank cover 2. After the air supply device 7 is started, the external gas is transported into the air supply channel 3 by the air supply device 7, and enters the gap between the rotating shaft 1 and the oil tank cover 2 through the air supply holes 9, thereby playing the role of "air sealing".
[0035] The air intake channel 4 is connected to the oil mist treatment device 8. The front side of the air intake channel 4 (the side facing the rotating shaft) is provided with a plurality of air intake cavities 10 along the circumferential direction. The air intake cavities 10 are connected with the gap between the rotating shaft 1 and the oil tank cover 2. After the oil mist treatment device 8 is started, the oil mist treatment device 8 generates a suction effect, and the gas that enters the air intake cavity 10 from the gap between the rotating shaft 1 and the oil tank cover 2 from top to bottom through the air replenishing hole 9, and the gas that enters the air intake cavity 10 from the bottom to top from the oil tank through the lower sealing ring 6, are sucked into the air intake channel 4, and then enter the oil mist treatment device 8, and the oil mist is separated and purified by the oil mist treatment device 8 before being discharged. The oil mist treatment device 8 can use existing equipment, which will not be further introduced here as the existing technology. The air replenishing hole 9 corresponds to the air intake cavity 10 one by one, and is arranged correspondingly to each other, so as to facilitate the introduction of sealed gas into the gap between the oil tank cover 2 and the rotating shaft 1 through the air replenishing hole 9, and also facilitate the suction of the gas contained outward.
[0036] Embodiment 2:
[0037] See attached Figures 1 to 5 The utility model is provided with a plurality of suction resistance plates 11 on the gas passage between the suction chamber 10 and the suction channel 4. The plurality of suction resistance plates 11 are protruded upward or downward on the gas passage, forming a labyrinth structure of the gas passage and reducing the width of the gas passage. The narrowing of the passage can increase the flow rate of the oil-containing gas when passing through the area of the suction resistance plates 11, avoid accumulation, and form a uniform oil absorption mist effect.
[0038] At the lower end of the oil tank cover 2, a thin-sheet turbulence front baffle 12 is provided. After installation, the lower end of the turbulence front baffle 12 usually extends into the oil in the oil tank, or its lower end is slightly higher than the liquid level of the oil. A plurality of through holes 13 are provided on the thin-sheet turbulence front baffle 12 to facilitate the passage of oil-containing gas; the turbulence front baffle 12 can prevent the oil in the oil tank from being violently stirred due to the instability of the rotating shaft during operation, causing the oil to directly reach the lower sealing position, thereby allowing the oil to flow stably and reducing the generation of oil mist.
[0039] The front end of the air replenishment hole 9 and the front end of the air suction chamber 10, that is, the end facing the surface of the rotating shaft 1, are set to a downwardly inclined structure, which can effectively reduce the resistance of replenishment and air suction when the rotating shaft 1 rotates, and the gas flows more smoothly, resulting in a better sealing effect. The sealing part of the oil tank cover 2 facing the surface of the rotating shaft 1 is provided with sealing teeth 14, and a sealing surface is formed between the sealing teeth 14 and the surface of the rotating shaft 1; the sealing teeth 14 of the utility model are serrated, and the serrated structure is tilted downward. The downwardly inclined (downward in the height direction of the rotating shaft 1) sealing teeth 14 cooperate with the downwardly inclined structure of the front end of the air replenishment hole 9 and the front end of the air suction chamber 10, so that the sealing surface of the oil tank cover 2 of the utility model corresponding to the rotating shaft 1 forms an overall downwardly inclined matching structure, which can effectively reduce the resistance of replenishment and air suction when the rotating shaft 1 rotates, and the gas flows more smoothly, resulting in a better sealing effect.
