Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of runner structures, in particular to an assembled runner of an impulse water turbine without a runner disk and buckets. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the runner of an impulse water turbine generally includes two parts, a runner disk and buckets. The runner disk is fastened to the main shaft. With the development of hydropower, the sizes of runners of high-head and large-capacity impulse water turbines are getting larger and larger. Due to the continuous increase in the capacity of the impulse unit, the transportation restrictions of the power station, and the forging and casting capacity limitations, the runner cannot be integrally forged and cast for manufacturing and transportation.

[0003] At present, the manufacturing of runners is mainly divided into three types: integral runners, combined runners, and welded runners, including: integral casting / forging processing; the runner disk with some buckets is respectively rough-forged / cast, then the outer buckets are surfacing-welded and then finish-machined; the runner disk (or the runner disk with some buckets) and the buckets (or the outer buckets) are respectively rough-forged / cast and then welded and then finish-machined; the buckets and the runner disk are respectively manufactured and then fork-connected to the runner disk and other structural methods.

[0004] With the increase in the capacity of the impulse unit and the increase in the size of the runner, the height dimensions of the runner disk and the buckets are quite different. Integral forging and casting will result in disadvantages such as long forging and casting cycles of the runner, long machining cycles of the runner, and high manufacturing costs. Due to the large size of the runner, integral forging and casting are restricted by the forging and casting capacity and cannot be carried out. When using surfacing welding of buckets or welding of the flow-through part of the buckets, due to welding reasons, there are defects such as slag inclusions and pores in the welds. Under the long-term jet impact, the abrasion of the buckets will be aggravated, and the maintenance cost is high. Welding of the buckets and the runner disk requires high welding technology and a long on-site welding and installation time. When the buckets and the runner disk are respectively manufactured and then fork-connected to the runner disk, the connection between the buckets and the turntable is prone to fracture. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an assembled runner of an impulse water turbine without a runner disk and buckets, which can realize the efficient and low-cost manufacturing of the impulse runner, and at the same time solve the transportation and manufacturing problems of large runner blanks.

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

[0007] An assembled runner of an impulse water turbine without a runner disk and buckets includes several groups of buckets. Each group of buckets includes a bucket body and a connecting part extending outward from the bucket body; the connecting part is directly connected to the main shaft of the water turbine through a connecting piece.

[0008] The connecting piece includes a screw and a nut. A fastening through-hole is provided on the connecting part, and a first blind hole is provided on the main shaft of the water turbine.

[0009] The connecting member further includes a bushing. The two ends of the bushing are respectively located in the butting through hole and the first blind hole, and a through hole for the screw to pass through is provided on the bushing.

[0010] Each set of buckets is connected to the main shaft of the water turbine through two sets of connecting members.

[0011] A positioning assembly is further provided between the connecting portion and the main shaft. The positioning assembly includes a positioning pin and a positioning pin fixing block that cooperate with each other.

[0012] The positioning pin fixing block is stepped.

[0013] The number of positioning assemblies on each set of buckets is two sets.

[0014] The connecting portion and the main shaft are respectively provided with positioning stop mouths that cooperate with each other.

[0015] Each set of buckets is integrally formed.

[0016] Each set of buckets includes at least one bucket body and a corresponding connecting portion.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are shown in:

[0018] 1. In the present utility model, the runner no longer has a separate wheel disc. Instead, the runner is directly cut into multiple sets of buckets, and innovatively, several sets of buckets are directly connected to the main shaft respectively to assemble a complete runner. The size of the buckets is small and not restricted by transportation. Due to the adoption of the non-wheel disc structure, the tangential force and centrifugal force received by the buckets can be distributed to components such as the main shaft flange through connecting members, etc., improving the force on the buckets and connecting members, achieving the effect of extending the life of the runner, effectively improving the force on the connecting components and buckets, and ensuring the stable, safe, and reliable operation of the runner.

[0019] Single sets of buckets and the main shaft of the water turbine are separately manufactured and processed numerically controlled, which can ensure the machining accuracy and consistency, effectively reduce the manufacturing cycle of the buckets, ensure the quality of the buckets, and prevent the abrasion of the buckets from being aggravated due to quality defects under the long-term impact of the jet flow. Moreover, during the operation of the power station, if the buckets are severely abraded and need to be maintained or replaced, the power station can separately maintain and replace single sets of buckets, effectively reducing the operation cost of the power station and reducing the manufacturing time of spare parts.

[0020] 2. Since all the holes provided on the main shaft of the water turbine are blind holes, it can play a good waterproof role and prevent the holes from rusting.

[0021] 3. The setting of the bushing can play a good positioning effect and is also convenient for the dispersion and bearing of force.

[0022] 4. Each set of buckets is connected to the main shaft of the water turbine through two sets of connecting members, and the connection is more stable, and it is also convenient for the dispersion and bearing of force.

[0023] 5. The setting of the positioning component can achieve a good positioning effect. Through the positioning pin, the tangential force and centrifugal force received by the water bucket can also be dispersed to the other water buckets and the main shaft, playing a role in force dispersion and force bearing; the axial force received by the water bucket is borne by the connecting piece.

[0024] 6. The positioning pin fixing block is in a stepped shape, making it more convenient and reliable to connect the positioning pin fixing block with the connecting part.

[0025] 7. The number of positioning components on each group of water buckets is two groups, with precise positioning and good force bearing.

[0026] 8. The connecting part and the main shaft are respectively provided with mutually matching positioning shoulders, which can achieve a good positioning effect.

[0027] 9. Each group of water buckets is integrally formed, making the water bucket structure more stable.

[0028] 10. Each group of water buckets includes at least one water bucket body and the corresponding connecting part, which is convenient to be divided into single water bucket, multi-water bucket types or various combined structures according to specific layout, casting and forging ability, processing ability, transportation ability, etc. during design.
