Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water turbines, and specifically to a runner with a water turbine blade disc structure. Background Art

[0002] Runners are widely used in the hydropower manufacturing industry. The traditional structures of water turbine or pump runners generally adopt the cast-welded structure of the crown, the lower ring and the blades. Due to limitations such as unit capacity, speed, and efficiency, the flow channels of water turbines or pump runners are long and narrow, the blade wrap angle is large, and the space is narrow, resulting in poor welding processability, low production efficiency, and poor manufacturing quality of the runners. The main disadvantages of the cast-welded structure runner of the crown, the lower ring and the blades are as follows: The weld seams are located in the high-stress area of the runner operation, bringing greater operation risks; The crown or the lower ring is used for ring division, and the welding manufacturing process is complex, the manufacturing cycle is long, and it is restricted by the size range of processing equipment and the casting quality.

[0003] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN116652535A and the publication date of August 29, 2023 discloses a method for manufacturing split runner blades of a low-specific-speed Francis turbine, which indirectly discloses a runner with a water turbine blade disc structure. The runner is cast and processed in four parts: the crown blade disc, the inner lower ring blade disc, the outer lower ring blade disc, and the short blades. The long blades are divided into upper and lower halves along the rotating cutting plane fitting the center line of the crown and the lower ring flow channels. The short blades are the remaining parts of the blades after removing the root transition steps on the crown blade disc side, the inner lower ring blade disc side, and the outer lower ring blade disc side. This invention improves the accessibility of welding, grinding, and non-destructive testing of the runner.

[0004] However, the technical solution with the publication number CN116652535A mentioned above involves a large number of welding operations, including the welding of the crown blade disc and the long blades, the split welding of the long blades, the welding of the crown blade disc and the short blades, the welding of the long blades and the lower ring blade disc, and the welding of the short blades and the lower ring blade disc. The weld quality directly affects the overall performance and life of the runner. Any welding defects (such as cracks, pores, etc.) will have an adverse impact on the operation of the equipment, and the welding amount is relatively large. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a runner with a water turbine blade disc structure, which can reduce the welding amount, grinding amount, and welding deposited metal amount, and achieve precise segmentation of the runner, meet the manufacturing processability of welding, grinding, and machining, make the weld seams located in the non-high-stress area of the runner operation, and reduce the operation risks.

[0006] The utility model is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A runner of a water turbine blade disc structure includes a crown blade disc and a band blade disc. A number of crown blades are arranged on the crown blade disc, and a number of band blades are arranged on the band blade disc. The crown blades are spirally distributed at the center point of the crown blade disc, and the band blades are spirally distributed on the band blade disc. The crown blades and the band blades correspond to each other one by one, and the end of the crown blade away from the crown blade disc cooperates with the end of the band blade away from the band blade disc. The crown blade disc and the band blade disc are fixed together at the cooperation position of the crown blade and the band blade. One side of the cooperation position of the crown blade and the band blade is the crown side, and the other side is the band side. A notch is provided on the crown side or the band side or both sides near the center of the runner. A supplementary blade with the same shape as the notch is provided at the notch, and the supplementary blade is fixedly connected to the crown blade and the band blade. A weld seam intersecting at a point is formed at the connection of the supplementary blade and the crown blade, the supplementary blade and the band blade, and the crown blade and the band blade.

[0008] The crown blade disc and the band blade disc are welded and connected at the cooperation position of the crown blade and the band blade.

[0009] One side of the supplementary blade is welded and connected to the crown blade, and the other side is welded and connected to the band blade.

[0010] The connection between the supplementary blade and the crown blade has a smooth transition, and the connection between the supplementary blade and the band blade has a smooth transition.

[0011] The number of the crown blades, the band blades, and the supplementary blades is 7 - 15 pieces.

[0012] The inner crown blade disc and the blade step of the inner crown blade disc are integrally cast, the outer crown blade disc and the blade step of the outer crown blade disc are integrally cast, and the band blade disc and the band blades are integrally cast.

[0013] The thickness of the crown blade and the band blade is the same as that of the supplementary blade.

[0014] The thickness of the supplementary blade is 10 mm - 150 mm.

[0015] The blade wrap angle of the crown blade and the band blade is 30° - 180°.

[0016] The diameters of the crown blade disc and the band blade disc are 1000 mm - 7000 mm.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, by changing the welding structure of the runner, the runner is designed into three parts: the upper crown blade disc, the lower ring blade disc, and the runner outlet edge supplementary block blade. Adopting the structure of blade disc plus supplementary block can reduce the welding amount, grinding amount, and welding deposited metal amount, and at the same time can reduce the welding residual stress, avoid the high stress area of the runner during operation, and improve the production efficiency. At the same time, the change of the structure changes the weld position, can flexibly adjust the welding and assembly sequence, and the welding processability becomes better, meeting the manufacturing processability of welding, grinding, and machining, making the weld located in the non-high stress area of the runner operation and reducing the operation risk.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the connection between the supplementary block blade and the upper crown blade and the lower ring blade has a smooth transition, ensuring the stability and reliability of the runner. Description of the Drawings
