Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydropower station equipment, in particular to cooling water circulation equipment for a hydropower station. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the hydroelectric generator set of a hydropower station, not only the upper guide bearing, thrust bearing and lower guide bearing of the generator and the guide bearing of the turbine will generate a lot of heat. When the temperature rises, a lot of heat will also be generated between the generator rotor and the stator, and the heat generated is greater than that generated at the bearings. The temperature increase at each bearing of the hydroelectric generator set will greatly reduce the performance of the bearing lubricating oil, deteriorate the working environment of the bearing, and affect the normal operation of the hydroelectric generator set. In order to make the bearing work in a normal environment, the bearing needs to be cooled to remove the heat generated during operation in time.

[0003] For example, the automatic circulating cooling device for the hydropower station unit with the publication number CN1865692A includes a heat pipe evaporator for cooling the heating components of the turbine generator to remove heat and a heat pipe condenser placed in water to cool the steam of the heat pipe working medium. The heat pipe evaporator and the heat pipe condenser contain a closed vacuum chamber, and the two ends of the working medium steam riser and the working medium condensate descender are respectively connected to the heat pipe evaporator and the heat pipe condenser to form a closed vacuum loop for the heat pipe working medium circulation. Compared with the circulating water cooling device of the hydropower station in the prior art, the present invention saves the circulating water pump and the circulating water pool, reduces the equipment investment and operation cost, improves the reliability of the safe operation of the equipment, and completely solves the problem of water quality treatment of cooling water for the hydropower station unit.

[0004] However, during the use of existing hydropower station cooling water recycling equipment, dust is easily contaminated and accumulated on the heat dissipation structure. The accumulation of dust on the heat dissipation structure will form a heat insulation layer, which increases the thermal resistance between the heat dissipation equipment and the air, making it difficult for heat to be effectively dissipated into the air. Due to the reduction in heat dissipation efficiency, the temperature inside the equipment will gradually increase. For key equipment in the hydropower station, such as generator sets, the high temperature environment will have an adverse effect on their performance and life. For this reason, we propose a hydropower station cooling water recycling equipment. Utility Model Content

A water storage tank 4 is placed in the pool body 1, and a leakage groove 5 is opened at the bottom of the water storage tank 4. The leakage groove 5 runs through the water storage tank 4 and the cross-section of the leakage groove 5 is set to a strip shape. A lifting mechanism is installed on the pool body 1, and the lifting mechanism is connected to the water storage tank 4. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the water storage tank 4 to move up and down. A plurality of equidistantly distributed heat dissipating fins 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the pool body 1, and the heat dissipating fins 6 extend to the inside of the pool body 1. A cleaning mechanism is set on both sides of the pool body 1, and the cleaning mechanism is used to clean the surface of the heat dissipating fins 6. The cleaning mechanism includes two side panels 7 fixedly mounted on the pool body 1, and a movable seat 8 is provided between the two side panels 7. A plurality of cotton blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the movable seat 8. The cotton blocks 9 are respectively located between adjacent heat dissipating fins 6, and the cotton blocks 9 are in contact with the heat dissipating fins 6. A moving component is set between the two side panels 7, and the moving component is connected to the movable seat 8 and is used to drive the cotton blocks 9 to move. The water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the water outlet of the turbine, and hot water enters the pool body 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. The heat inside the pool body 1 is dissipated through the heat dissipation fins 6, thereby performing secondary cooling on the turbine cooling water, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cooling water and ensuring that the relevant components of the generator operate normally at high temperatures. By arranging a heat pipe in the pool body 1, the heat pipe absorbs the waste heat and recovers the waste heat for building heating or power generation.

[0024] Among them, a heat pipe is arranged in the pool body 1, and the outer end of the heat pipe is delayed to the external utilization position. The moving assembly includes two guide rods 10 arranged at intervals, a screw rod 11 and a first motor 12. The guide rod 10 passes through the movable seat 8 and the end is fixedly connected to the side plate 7. The screw rod 11 passes through the movable seat 8 and is threadedly connected to the movable seat 8. The end of the screw rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the side plate 7. The first motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the side plate 7 and the output shaft is fixedly connected to the screw rod 11. The lifting mechanism includes two groups of symmetrically distributed lifting assemblies, and the lifting assembly includes a bracket 13, which is fixedly connected to one side of the pool body 1. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 13. Two winding wheels 15 arranged at intervals are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 14. A rope body 16 is fixedly connected inside the winding wheel 15, and the other end of the rope body 16 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 4. Two guide wheels 17 arranged at intervals are rotatably mounted on the pool body 1, and the rope body 16 passes through the guide wheels 17. The brackets 13 are all fixedly mounted with a second motor 18, and the output shaft of the second motor 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 14.

The water tank 4 is separated from the water surface, and the water in it is discharged from the drain tank 5, thereby driving the water in the pool body 1 to flow.

The first motor 12 drives the screw rod 11 to rotate, which can drive the movable seat 8 to move along the direction of the guide rod 10. The cotton block 9 on the movable seat 8 can clean the dust on the surface of the heat dissipation fin 6 during the movement, and the thermal resistance of the heat dissipation fin 6 is reduced. The heat can be more smoothly dissipated into the air through the heat dissipation fins, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The dust may contain corrosive substances, and long-term attachment to the heat dissipation fins will accelerate the corrosion of metal parts. Regular cleaning can reduce this corrosion effect and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0026] The water storage tank 4 is placed in the pool body 1 and filled with hot water. During the heat dissipation process, the second motor 18 drives the winding wheel 15 to rotate. The winding wheel 15 winds up the rope body 16 and can lift the water storage tank 4 to a high place. The water storage tank 4 is separated from the water surface, and the water therein is discharged from the leakage tank 5, thereby driving the water in the pool body 1 to flow, which can accelerate the heat dissipation rate of the circulating water.
