[0002] The turbine vibration monitoring alarm device is a device used to monitor the operating status of the turbine in real time, especially the vibration condition. Vibration is a common problem in the operation of the turbine. Excessive vibration may cause damage to the equipment and affect the safe and stable operation of the turbine. Therefore, installing a vibration monitoring alarm device is of great significance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and prevent failures.

[0003] For example, a utility model patent with announcement number CN219244789U discloses a turbine vibration monitoring alarm device, which relates to the field related to turbines and includes a groove seat, wherein guide rails for sliding of a slider are welded on both sides of the interior of the groove seat, a support platform is welded between the guide rails, a high-rigidity spring is installed between the bottom end of the support platform and the inner top end of the groove seat, a connecting rod for fixing the bottom and the touch plate is welded to the middle part of the bottom end of the support platform, a touch switch is fixedly installed at the inner bottom end of the groove seat, a buzzer is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove seat, a support column is detachably connected to the top end of the groove seat, and a bearing for rotating the rotating shaft is welded to the top end of the support column, and the surface of the rotating shaft is detachably connected to the turbine connecting shaft by bolts. The utility model can be used as a support shaft of the turbine, thereby being used in conjunction with the turbine, and has a simple structure, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0004] However, it was found in actual use that the rotating shaft of the device was connected to the output connecting shaft of the steam turbine by bolts, so that an alarm signal could be issued when the output shaft of the steam turbine produced abnormal vibration;

[0005] However, the vibration characteristics of the turbine output shaft are diverse, including left-right vibration and up-and-down vibration. When the turbine output shaft produces left-right vibration, the support platform of the device cannot move downward to respond to this type of vibration. At the same time, the turbine output shaft usually directly drives other mechanical components, and the turbine output shaft of the device is connected to the disc shaft, which will affect the normal transmission of the output shaft power and limit the accuracy of vibration monitoring, especially for axial vibration monitoring. For this purpose, a turbine vibration monitoring alarm device is provided. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a steam turbine vibration monitoring and alarm device in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in the present application is as follows: a turbine vibration monitoring and alarm device comprises a circular mounting ring, three connecting rods are movably penetrated on the outer surface of the circular mounting ring, three mounting shells are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the circular mounting ring, one end of the connecting rod is located inside the mounting shell, a rectangular mounting seat is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting rod located inside the circular mounting ring, a roller is rotatably connected inside the rectangular mounting seat, an arc plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod, a spring is arranged on the outer surface of the connecting rod, one end of the spring is fixed to the top surface of the arc plate, and one end of the spring away from the arc plate is fixed to the inner wall surface of the circular mounting ring, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting rod located inside the mounting shell, a plurality of pillars are fixedly installed on a side of the mounting plate away from the connecting rod, and a disc is fixedly installed on one end of each of the plurality of pillars, and a travel switch is penetrated and fixedly installed on the side of the mounting shell away from the circular mounting ring.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of fixing blocks are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the circular mounting ring, and a circular through hole is formed on one side of the plurality of fixing blocks.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing cover plate is fixedly mounted on the front side of the circular mounting ring by setting screws.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a polytetrafluoroethylene coating is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the roller.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing cover plate 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting housing by means of a second screw.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0014] 1. In the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned scheme, the output shaft of the steam turbine passes through the center of the circular mounting ring. At this time, the roller contacts the outer surface of the output shaft. When the output shaft of the steam turbine runs and generates vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the connecting support rod through the roller, and then monitored by the acceleration sensor installed thereon. The acceleration sensor can capture the acceleration signal during the rotation of the output shaft, and then evaluate the vibration condition of the output shaft, including possible problems such as imbalance and misalignment.

At the same time, by setting three connecting support rods, the vibration condition of the steam turbine output shaft can be monitored from multiple directions, the accuracy of vibration monitoring can be improved, and the safe operation of the equipment can be ensured.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A rectangular mounting seat 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting support rod 2 located inside the circular mounting ring 1, and a roller 5 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular mounting seat 4. A polytetrafluoroethylene coating 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the roller 5; the outer surface of the roller 5 is in contact with the outer surface of the turbine output shaft.

When the steam turbine is running and vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the connecting support rod 2 through the roller 5, and then monitored by the acceleration sensor 14 installed thereon. The acceleration sensor 14 can capture the acceleration signal of the output shaft during the rotation process, and then evaluate the vibration condition of the output shaft, including possible problems such as imbalance and misalignment;

[0028] If the vibration of the output shaft continues to intensify, the connecting support rod 2 will compress the spring 7 and push the disc 10 to move toward the inside of the mounting shell 3. When the disc 10 touches the travel switch 11, the travel switch 11 is triggered and sends a signal to the terminal alarm. The alarm then issues a voice warning to remind the operator to deal with the vibration problem in time. The device is simple in design and easy to operate. The circular mounting ring 1 can be directly installed on the outer shell of the turbine. At the same time, by setting three connecting support rods 2, the vibration of the turbine output shaft can be monitored from multiple directions. When the output shaft vibrates too much, the alarm issued by the travel switch 11 and the terminal alarm can promptly remind personnel to take measures to improve the accuracy of vibration monitoring and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
