Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a water turbine generator set top cover drainage system. Background Art
[0002] When the turbine unit is rotating, in order to prevent the dry friction between the stationary main shaft seal part and the rotating slip ring part from damaging the main shaft seal, the main shaft seal ring is usually lifted up by the main shaft seal water pressure to form a water film between the seal ring and the slip ring. However, this will also cause a gap between the seal ring and the slip ring, and some main shaft seal water or water in the volute will leak into the inner top cover through the gap. In order to prevent the water level in the inner top cover from being too high, a top cover drainage system is usually set up. When the water level in the inner top cover reaches the pump start level, the top cover drainage pump is started to drain water until the water level in the inner top cover reaches the pump stop level, and then the top cover drainage pump is stopped.
[0003] Because the amount of water leakage from the top cover of the turbine is different when the unit is operating under different operating conditions, and the amount of water leakage may suddenly increase with the wear of the seal, the drainage volume calculation is complicated, and it is impossible to select a fixed-discharge power frequency drainage pump set in a targeted manner. The traditional top cover drainage system will cause the water pump to start and stop more frequently. The frequent start and stop impacts accelerate the damage of components or equipment such as contactors, relays, motors and pump bodies of the top cover drainage system, which can easily lead to water flooding and "burning" of water guide bearing bearings, and even cause "non-stop" accidents of the unit, threatening the safe operation of the turbine generator set. Utility Model Content

[0017] 3. The fault normally closed contact of the inverter of the utility model is connected to the secondary control circuit.

[0023] The programmable logic controller includes an analog quantity input module 111, a discrete quantity output module 113, an analog quantity output module 112 and a discrete quantity input module 114;
[0024] The remote start top cover drainage system signal, the remote stop top cover drainage system signal, and the inverter 4 operation signal are respectively connected to the discrete quantity input module 114 channels 1, 2, and 3, the second relay 9 and the third relay 10 are respectively connected to the discrete quantity output module 113 channels 1 and 2, the liquid level sensor 3 is connected to the analog quantity input module 111 channel 1, and the analog quantity output module 112 channel 1 is connected to the frequency signal input contact of the inverter 4;
[0025] The circuit breaker is a circuit breaker with an overload protection function, the first relay is a 220V AC relay, and the second relay and the third relay are 24V DC relays.
[0026] Set the inverter 4 to the remote control mode, close the system main circuit breaker 6 and the control circuit air switch 7, and then the main power supply of the inverter 4 is turned on. Since the start control pins FWD and CM_1 of the inverter 4 do not form a closed circuit, the inverter 4 is in the working preparation state. Under normal conditions, the inverter 4 body fault signal output pins 30A and 30C are closed, and the inverter 4 operation signal output pins Y1 and Y1E are open.
[0027] Start the programmable logic controller, the analog input module 111 converts the collected real-time value of the inner top cover water level into a digital signal and stores it in the variable inner top cover water level real-time value AI_LT, the discrete input module 114 stores the collected pulse start signal in the variable remote start top cover drainage system signal DI_START, the pulse stop signal in the variable remote stop top cover drainage system signal DI_STOP, and the inverter operation signal in the variable inverter operation signal DI_RUN.
[0028] When the system is remotely started, the control system receives the signal of remotely starting the top cover drainage system. At this time, the discrete output module 113 will drive the coil of the second relay 9 to close the normally open contacts 11 and 14 of the second relay 9, and at the same time set the inverter stop coil DO_K2 to 0 to form a lock to prevent the logical conflict of the inverter starting and stopping at the same time. At this time, the control loop is closed, the coil of the first relay 8 is energized, so that the normally open contacts 11 and 14 of the first relay 8 are closed to form a self-maintaining closed state of the control loop, and the normally open contacts 22 and 24 of the first relay 8 are closed, so that the start control pins FWD and CM_1 of the inverter 4 form a closed loop, and the analog output module 112 converts the 40Hz frequency into an analog signal and outputs it to the inverter 4. The inverter 4 starts to run at the initial frequency of 40Hz, driving the variable frequency motor and pump group 5 to run drainage.
[0029] Before the control system receives a remote signal to stop the top cover drainage system, due to the self-holding circuit state of the first relay 8, the control circuit is always closed, and the variable frequency motor and pump group 5 continue to run to drain water.
[0030] When the remote stop system is in progress, the control system receives the remote start top cover drainage system signal DI_STOP as 1, at this time, the discrete output module 113 will drive the coil of the third relay 10 to disconnect the normally closed contacts 11 and 12 of the third relay 10, and at the same time, the inverter start coil DO_K1 is set to 0 to form a lock to prevent the logical conflict of the inverter start and stop being executed at the same time. At this time, the control loop is disconnected, the coil of the first relay 8 loses power, so that the normally open contacts 11, 14 and the normally open contacts 22, 24 of the first relay 8 are restored to the open state, the start control pins FWD and CM_1 of the inverter 4 are open, the inverter 4 stops running, and the variable frequency motor and pump group 5 stop.
[0031] When the inverter 4 body fails during operation, the inverter 4 body fault signal output pins 30A and 30C are open, at which time the control circuit is disconnected, the inverter 4 stops running and the operation signal output pins Y1 and Y1E contacts are open, and the operation duty personnel are notified in time. The control process is similar to the remote stop system and will not be repeated;
[0032] When the inverter 4 is overloaded, the circuit breaker 6 trips, the inverter 4 loses power and stops running, and the contacts of the operation signal output pins Y1 and Y1E are open, which can promptly notify the operation duty personnel to protect the inverter 4.
