[0011] Preferably, one end of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are fixedly mounted with a connecting flange, and the cooling pipeline is fitted with the inner shell.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. The utility model effectively prevents steam leakage by isolating the shell, which not only avoids energy waste, but also significantly improves the safety of the operating environment and prevents operators from being harmed by high-temperature steam. When steam leaks, the airbag is eventually squeezed and ruptured through mechanical linkage, and the noise generated can immediately alert the staff. This instant early warning system can ensure that when a leak occurs, the staff can respond quickly to prevent the accident from expanding. In the default case, due to the tension of the tension spring, the top plate will be pulled downward, thereby driving the baffle to reset. This design enables the device to automatically return to its initial state after issuing an early warning, which provides convenience for subsequent monitoring and repair work.

This double-layer protection improves the tightness of the steam seal, thereby ensuring the working efficiency and safety of the steam turbine. By connecting cold water to the water inlet pipe and allowing it to flow through the cooling pipeline, the inner shell is continuously cooled, which can effectively prevent the inner shell from expanding due to overheating, thereby avoiding the decline in sealing performance or structural damage caused by thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, cooling the inner shell can not only prevent its overheating expansion, but also reduce fatigue damage to the material caused by thermal stress, thereby extending the service life of the inner shell and the entire steam seal device.

The inner wall of the isolation shell 1 is installed with a turbine body 2 by precise matching to ensure the smooth operation of the turbine. One end of the turbine body 2 is connected to a steam inlet pipe 3 through a professional interface to ensure smooth steam input. The other end of the turbine body 2 is installed with a transmission shaft 4 through a bearing, so that the turbine body 2 can effectively drive the transmission shaft 4 to rotate. A sliding rod 5 is provided through the top surface of the isolation shell 1, and the sliding rod 5 adopts a precise sliding match, which not only ensures the smoothness of sliding, but also effectively prevents steam leakage. A stopper 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding rod 5 by welding, and the stopper 6 is specially selected from austenitic stainless steel. This material is not only strong and durable, but also has excellent corrosion resistance, and is very suitable for use in high temperature and high humidity steam environments.

[0025] See also Figure 3 , the other end of the slide bar 5 is also fixedly installed with a top plate 7 by welding, ensuring the stability of the structure. A tension spring 8 is sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 5, one end of the tension spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top plate 7 by a hook, and the other end is connected to the isolation shell 1 by a fixing seat. This connection method not only ensures the stable operation of the tension spring 8, but also facilitates future maintenance and replacement. The top surface of the isolation shell 1 is also fixedly installed with a mounting frame 9 by bolt connection. The mounting frame 9 is designed as a "U"-shaped structure, which not only improves the stability of the structure, but also facilitates the installation of the airbag 10. The mounting frame 9 is specially made of ferritic stainless steel. This material has good toughness while ensuring strength, and is very suitable for supporting and protecting the airbag 10. The airbag 10 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 9.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] See also Figure 4 , an inner shell 12 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the isolation shell 1, and the turbine body 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the inner shell 12, ensuring the effective use of steam and the stable operation of the turbine. A cooling pipeline 13 is fixedly mounted on the side of the inner shell 12, and this fixation can be achieved by a clamp or welding method to ensure the stability and sealing of the cooling pipeline 13. The cooling pipeline 13 fits tightly on the inner shell 12 to maximize the heat exchange efficiency. One end of the cooling pipeline 13 is connected to a water inlet pipe 14 for receiving cold water, and the other end is connected to a water outlet pipe 15 for discharging water that has absorbed heat. One end of the water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15 are fixedly mounted with a connecting flange 16. The flange connection not only ensures the sealing of the pipeline, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pipeline.

[0028] Working principle: Steam enters through the steam inlet pipe 3 to drive the turbine body 2 to work, and the turbine body 2 can drive the transmission shaft 4 to rotate. The isolation shell 1 can prevent steam leakage, thereby improving safety. When steam leaks, the steam can push the stopper 6 to move, and the stopper 6 can then drive the slide bar 5 to move, and the slide bar 5 can then drive the top plate 7 to move. The top plate 7 can then squeeze the airbag 10 until the airbag 10 ruptures. The noise generated when the airbag 10 splits can alert the staff. In the default case, due to the tension of the tension spring 8, the tension spring 8 can pull the top plate 7 downward, thereby causing the baffle to move downward. , thereby making the top plate 7 away from the airbag 10. The utility model effectively prevents steam leakage by isolating the shell 1, which not only avoids energy waste, but also significantly improves the safety of the operating environment and prevents operators from being harmed by high-temperature steam. When steam leaks, the airbag 10 is finally squeezed and ruptured through mechanical linkage, and the noise generated can immediately alert the staff. This instant early warning system can ensure that when a leak occurs, the staff can respond quickly, thereby preventing the accident from expanding. By default, due to the tension of the tension spring 8, the top plate 7 will be pulled downward, thereby driving the baffle Reset, this design enables the device to automatically restore to its initial state after issuing an early warning, which provides convenience for subsequent monitoring and repair work, and the double-layer structure of the inner shell 12 and the isolation shell 1 can avoid steam leakage to the greatest extent and ensure the steam sealing effect. At the same time, cold water can be connected to the water inlet pipe 14, and then the cold water can enter the cooling pipeline 13. At this time, the inner shell 12 can be cooled through the cooling pipeline 13, and then the cold water can be discharged from the water outlet pipe 15 after it becomes hot. By cooling the inner shell 12, the inner shell 12 can be prevented from overheating and expanding, thereby increasing the service life of the inner shell 12. The double-layer structure of the inner shell 12 and the isolation shell 1 can more effectively prevent steam leakage. This double-layer protection improves the tightness of the steam seal, thereby ensuring the working efficiency and safety of the steam turbine. By connecting cold water to the water inlet pipe 14 and allowing it to flow through the cooling pipeline 13, the inner shell 12 is continuously cooled, which can effectively prevent the inner shell 12 from expanding due to overheating, thereby avoiding the degradation of sealing performance or structural damage caused by thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, cooling the inner shell 12 can not only prevent its overheating expansion, but also reduce fatigue damage to the material caused by thermal stress, thereby extending the service life of the inner shell 12 and the entire steam seal device.
