[0022] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0023] In this embodiment, the width direction refers to Figure 1 the X - direction in Figure 2 , and the length direction refers to Figure 1 the Y - direction in Figure 2 . As shown in Figure 1 and

[0024] , the support tooling for coupling installation includes a support assembly 1 and a centering adjustment assembly 2. The support assembly 1 includes a U - shaped support plate 11 and side support plates 12. On both sides of the top of the U - shaped support plate 11 in the width direction ( Figure 1 the X - direction in

[0024] ), side support plates 12 are provided on both sides of the top of the U - shaped support plate 11. An avoidance space 13 is formed between the lower part of the side support plate 12 and the side wall of the U - shaped support plate 11. The ends of the U - shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 are both connected to the volute 100 of the gas turbine; the centering adjustment assembly 2 is arranged on the bottom plate inside the U - shaped support plate 11, and the centering adjustment assembly 2 is used to position the coupling 200.

[0025] It should be noted that the support assembly 1 includes a U-shaped support plate 11 and side support plates 12. Both the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 are connected to the volute 100 of the gas turbine, which can improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the support assembly 1 and the gas turbine. Thus, a stable support for the coupling can be formed through the support assembly 1. At the same time, the support assembly 1 can be lifted by being connected to the gas turbine, and an avoidance space 13 is formed between the lower part of the side support plates 12 and the side walls of the U-shaped support plate 11, which can avoid the pipeline. Therefore, before installing the coupling, the pipeline can be installed. Thus, when installing the coupling, the lubricating oil transported through the pipeline can be used to lubricate the components, without the need for manual lubrication, which is beneficial to improving the installation efficiency of the coupling 200. In addition, the centering adjustment assembly 2 is used to position the coupling 200, which can facilitate the accurate installation of the coupling 200.

[0026] In this embodiment, the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 are bolt-connected, welded, or integrally formed. That is, the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 can be bolt-connected. By using bolt connection, it is convenient to disassemble the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12. When one of the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 is damaged, it is convenient to replace. The U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 can also be welded together, which can simplify the overall structure and ensure the reliability of the connection. The U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 can also be integrally formed. Integral forming can improve the overall strength and facilitate processing. The connection method of the U-shaped support plate 11 and the side support plates 12 can be set as needed and is not limited here.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the centering adjustment assembly 2 includes a lower positioning member 21 and a lifting drive member 22. The lower positioning member 21 is arranged inside the U-shaped support plate 11, and the lifting drive member 22 is arranged on the U-shaped support plate 11 and connected to the lower positioning member 21. The lifting drive member 22 is used to adjust the height of the lower positioning member 21.

[0028] It can be understood that when installing the coupling 200, the coupling 200 is placed on the lower positioning member 21, and the coupling 200 is supported and positioned by the lower positioning member 21. Then, the height of the lower positioning member 21 is adjusted by the lifting drive member 22, so that the coupling 200 can be coaxial with the gas turbine shaft and the motor shaft, and then the gas turbine shaft and the motor shaft are connected through the coupling 200.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the lower positioning member 21 has a V-shaped groove 211 for positioning the coupling.

[0030] It can be understood that the lower positioning member 21 can support the coupling 200 and automatically center the coupling 200 by providing a V-shaped groove, and can be applicable to couplings 200 with different outer diameters, which is beneficial to expanding the applicable range.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the centering adjustment assembly further includes a first roller 23. A plurality of first rollers 23 are rotatably provided on both side walls of the V-shaped groove of the lower positioning member 21, and the plurality of first rollers 23 on each side wall of the lower positioning member 21 are spaced apart along the length direction of the lower positioning member 21.

[0032] Specifically, the first roller 23 is a rubber wheel. For example, the first roller 23 can be made of rubber material. While enabling the coupling 200 to move along the first roller 23, it can protect the coupling 200 and can also reduce vibration when placing the coupling 200.

[0033] It can be understood that by providing the first rollers 23 on both side walls of the V-shaped groove of the lower positioning member 21, the friction when the coupling 200 moves along the length direction of the V-shaped groove of the lower positioning member 21 can be reduced, making it more convenient for the coupling 200 to move and adjust its position, and reducing the wear suffered by the coupling 200 during movement.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the lifting drive member 22 includes an adjusting screw. In the width direction of the lower positioning member 21, adjusting screws are provided on both sides of the lower positioning member 21. The adjusting screws are threadedly connected to the U-shaped support plate 11 and rotatably connected to the U-shaped support plate 11.

[0035] Specifically, a plurality of adjusting screws are provided on both sides of the lower positioning member 21. For example, the number of adjusting screws on each side can be two, and the two adjusting screws are respectively located at both ends of the lower positioning member 21 in the length direction to form a stable support for the lower positioning member 21 through the adjusting screws. The number of adjusting screws can be set as needed and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0036] It can be understood that when the adjusting screw is rotated, the adjusting screw can move up and down relative to the U-shaped support plate 11, so that the support assembly 1 can be driven to lift by the adjusting screw, and the lifting of the support assembly 1 can drive the coupling located on the support assembly 1 to lift.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the support tooling for coupling installation further includes an upper positioning member 3. The upper positioning member 3 is provided on the support assembly 1, and the upper positioning member 3 is located above the centering adjustment assembly 2 to cooperate with the centering adjustment assembly 2 to position the coupling 200.

[0038] It can be understood that the coupling 200 is positioned by the cooperation of the upper positioning member 3 and the lower positioning member 21, so that the coupling 200 is restricted in both the up and down directions, which is beneficial to improving the positioning stability of the coupling 200 and enabling the coupling 200 to be more precisely connected to the gas turbine shaft and the motor shaft.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the upper positioning member 3 includes two positioning plates 31. On the width direction of the U-shaped support plate 11, one sides of the two positioning plates 31 away from each other are both hinged to the support assembly 1, the one sides of the two positioning plates 31 close to each other are detachably connected, and the two positioning plates 31 form a V shape when connected to each other.

[0040] The positioning plate 31 is hinged to the support assembly 1. Specifically, the positioning plate 31 can be hinged to the top of the U-shaped support plate, or can be hinged to the side support plate 12, or can also be hinged to the mounting plate connected to the U-shaped support plate or the side support plate 12. The specific connection manner between the positioning plate 31 and the support assembly 1 can be set according to the actual situation and is not limited herein.

[0041] It can be understood that the upper positioning member 3 includes two positioning plates 31. One sides of the two positioning plates 31 facing away from each other are respectively hinged to the support assembly 1. When the one sides of the two positioning plates 31 close to each other are separated, the positioning plates 31 can be flipped to form an avoidance above the lower positioning member 21, so as to facilitate placing the coupling on the lower positioning member 21. The two positioning plates 31 are arranged in a V shape, and the coupling 200 can be automatically positioned by the two positioning plates 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the upper positioning member 3 further includes second rollers 32. A plurality of second rollers 32 are rotatably arranged on each positioning plate 31, and the plurality of second rollers 32 on each positioning plate 31 are spaced apart along the length direction of the positioning plate 31.

[0043] Specifically, the second rollers 32 are rubber wheels. For example, the second rollers 32 can be made of rubber material, which can protect the coupling 200 while enabling the coupling 200 to move along the second rollers 32.

[0044] When the coupling 200 located between the lower positioning member 21 and the upper positioning member 3 moves, the coupling 200 contacts the second rollers 32, which can reduce the friction suffered by the coupling 200 when moving, thus facilitating the movement of the coupling 200.

[0045] In this embodiment, one of the two adjacent sides of the two positioning plates 31 is provided with a mounting groove (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a mounting protrusion (not shown in the figure), and the mounting protrusion is snap-fitted in the mounting groove.

[0046] Specifically, the side walls of the installation protrusions and the installation grooves can be connected by bolts, which facilitates the separation of the two positioning plates 31.

[0047] It can be understood that an installation groove is provided on one of the two positioning plates 31, and an installation protrusion is provided on the other. Through the cooperation of the installation groove and the installation protrusion, the connection of the two positioning plates 31 can be facilitated.
