Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of penstocks in hydropower stations, and particularly to an assembly tooling for stiffening rings of penstocks. Background Art
[0002] As the water conveyance channel of a hydropower station, the penstock not only has to bear the internal pressure of high water head, but also has to overcome the seepage pressure of the mountain outside the pipe wall. Facing the diametrically opposite pressures, it is necessary to set stiffening rings on the penstock wall to enhance the strength and stability of the penstock. The stiffening rings are made according to the designed outer diameter of the penstock (the inner arc matches it). Due to the allowable deviation of the roundness of the penstock being 3D / 1000, there are often gaps when the stiffening rings are assembled on the penstock wall, and the gaps are greater than the specified 3 mm. The traditional assembly process of the stiffening ring is to weld multiple "L"-shaped clamps on the pipe wall and adjust the gaps by knocking the wedge plates. Such a method not only has low efficiency and high noise, but also the welding and cutting of the "L"-shaped clamps cause great damage to the base material of the penstock. Utility Model Content

[0029] Such as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a stiffening ring assembly tool for a penstock. The stiffening ring assembly tool for the penstock includes a main support 1, a first limiting part 2, a second limiting part 3, and a jacking mechanism 4. Among them, the main support 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 in the length direction; the first limiting part 2 is located on one side of the main support 1 close to the first end 11. The first limiting part 2 includes a limiting mechanism and a rolling mechanism. The limiting mechanism has a first clamping groove 21 through which the side wall of the penstock 6 can pass, and the rolling mechanism can contact the wall surface of the penstock 6 and roll circumferentially; the second limiting part is movably connected to one side of the main support 1 close to the second end 12, and the second limiting part 3 can be movably clamped to the side of the penstock 6 away from the first limiting part 2; the number of the jacking mechanisms 4 is multiple, and the multiple jacking mechanisms 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main support 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the stiffening ring assembly tool for the penstock can overcome the problems of low construction efficiency, high labor intensity, and poor quality level when using an "L"-shaped clamp to adjust the stiffening ring in the past. This tool can be specifically made according to the stiffening rings of penstocks 6 with different sizes. The materials are conventional, the production is simple, and the use is extremely convenient. The quality of the assembled stiffening ring is excellent, which plays good economic and technical benefits for the production of the penstock 6.
[0031] As Figure 1-2 shown, in a specific embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a top cross beam 22 and an upper guiding beam 23. The top cross beam 22 is fixedly connected to the first end 11 of the main support 1. A limiting beam 24 is arranged at the end of the top cross beam 22 away from the main support 1, and the limiting beam 24 is parallel to the main support 1; the upper guiding beam 23 is fixedly arranged on one side of the main support 1 close to the first end 11, and the length of the upper guiding beam 23 is less than the length of the top cross beam 22. The relative sides of the limiting beam 24, the top cross beam 22, and the upper guiding beam 23 form the first clamping groove 21.
[0032] In addition, the rolling mechanism includes a first guiding wheel 25 and a second guiding wheel 26; the first guiding wheel 25 is arranged on the top cross beam 22, and the second guiding wheel 26 is arranged on the upper guiding beam 23; the first guiding wheel 25 can fit on the pipe orifice of the penstock 6 and roll circumferentially along the penstock 6, and the second guiding wheel 26 can fit on the outer wall of the penstock 6 and roll circumferentially along the penstock 6.
[0033] As Figure 1-2 shown, in a specific embodiment, the second limiting part 3 includes a lower fixed clamping plate 31. The lower fixed clamping plate 31 has a second clamping groove 32, and the second clamping groove 32 can be movably clamped to the pipe orifice on the side of the penstock 6 away from the first limiting part 2. Specifically, the lower fixed clamping plate 31 includes a steel plate and a U-shaped bolt. The second clamping groove 32 is arranged on the steel plate, and the U-shaped bolt connects the main support 1 and the steel plate through an adjusting nut.
[0034] Specifically, structures such as the top cross beam 22, the limit beam 24, the upper guide beam 23, the lower fixed clamping plate 31, and the main support 1 in this article can all be made of channel steel. The way of fixedly connecting these structures can be welding, which not only ensures the structural strength but also has a lower cost.
[0035] As Figure 1-2 shown, in a specific embodiment, the jacking mechanism 4 includes jacks 41, and the distance between adjacent two jacks 41 is equal to the distance between adjacent two stiffening rings on the penstock 6. The penstock stiffening ring assembly tooling further includes a lifting lug 5 for hoisting the overall tooling. The lifting lug 5 is fixedly arranged on the first limiting part 2, and a U-shaped lifting ring is threaded through the lifting lug 5. The jacking amount of the jack 41 is approximately 100 mm. It should be noted that about 100 mm in this article can refer to 90 mm to 110 mm.
[0036] It should also be supplemented that when assembling the stiffening rings of the penstock 6, due to the ovality of the steel pipe body, there are often gaps between the stiffening rings and the pipe wall. If not controlled, it will seriously affect the manufacturing quality of the penstock 6. The penstock stiffening ring assembly tooling provided by the embodiment of the present application uses the jacks 41 on the tooling to jack and press the stiffening rings, and can easily adjust the roundness of the penstock 6 to the design size, thereby ensuring the tight fit between the stiffening rings and the pipe wall of the penstock 6. At the same time, the tooling is designed with a first guide wheel 25 and a second guide wheel 26, which can slide freely on the circumference of the penstock 6 to achieve the assembly accuracy requirements of the stiffening rings on the entire circumference. At least 3 sets of jacks 41 arranged on the tooling can adjust the spacing distance according to the design drawing of the penstock 6, and can achieve the effect of simultaneously adjusting multiple layers of stiffening rings on the same section of the penstock 6. For the country's vigorous development of pumped-storage power station clean energy, this tooling has significant promotion and application value, and can also be used for the manufacturing of penstocks 6 in other types of projects.
[0037] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
