Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present utility model. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment:
[0030] This embodiment provides a detachable hydrostatic end face main shaft sealing structure for a water turbine, as Figure 1 shown, including a sealing support 1, an outer wall 2 of the sealing groove, a wear-resistant plate 3, and a composite sealing block 5, wherein:
[0031] The sealing support 1 is of an annular structure and is sleeved and installed on the turbine top cover 8; the sealing support 1 is provided with an outer wall 2 of the sealing groove and a composite sealing block 5;
[0032] The composite sealing block 5 is an annular sealing body, and the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove clamps the composite sealing block 5 between the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove and the sealing support 1;
[0033] The sealing support 1 is further provided with a water inlet pipe 7; one end of the water inlet pipe 7 is connected to external water supply, and the other end supplies sealing power water to the composite sealing block 5.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the composite sealing block 5 includes a support ring 501 and a sealing ring 502; the sealing ring 502 is installed on the top of the support ring 501. Specifically, the support ring 501 is made of aluminum; the sealing ring 502 is a Seastar sealing ring, and the sealing ring 502 and the wear-resistant plate 3 together play a role in sealing water. Furthermore, the sealing ring 502 adopts a split design and forms an inserted combination with the wear-resistant plate 3, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.
[0035] Further, in this embodiment, a guide pin 6 is further included; the guide pin 6 passes through the combined seal block 5 and is immersed in the seal support 1 to provide a guiding and fixing effect for the combined seal block 5; further, the installation height of the top of the guide pin 6 is lower than the installation height of the seal ring 502, which can not only limit the combined seal block 5 but also does not affect the decomposition of the combined seal block 5 into the support ring 501 and the seal ring 502.
[0036] Further, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the outer wall 2 of the seal groove is a split and detachable structure, which is composed of a combination of multiple outer wall petals; each outer wall petal is fixed on the seal support 1 by an outer wall petal positioning pin 201 and an outer wall petal screw 202; in this embodiment, when the combined seal block 5 fails and needs to be replaced, the wear-resistant plate 3 does not need to be disassembled. After removing the positioning pin 201 and the outer wall petal screw 202, the outer wall 2 of the seal groove can be directly removed. After removing the outer wall 2 of the seal groove, the combined seal block 5 is no longer restricted and can be easily moved up and down.
[0037] Further, in this embodiment, the wear-resistant plate 3 is clamped and fixed on the water turbine main shaft 9, and the wear-resistant plate 3 rotates synchronously with the water turbine main shaft 9. In this embodiment, the combination of the wear-resistant plate 3 and the seal ring 502 plays a role in sealing water.
[0038] Further, in this embodiment, sealing rings are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the combined seal block 5 to prevent water leakage due to gaps between the combined seal block 5 and the seal support 1 and between the combined seal block 5 and the outer wall 2 of the seal groove.
[0039] Further, in this embodiment, a water throwing ring 4 is further included; the water throwing ring 4 is installed on the outside of the upper wear-resistant plate 3 to prevent the water supply of the main shaft seal from splashing.
[0040] Further, in this embodiment, the seal support 1, the outer wall 2 of the seal groove, and the guide pin 6 are all made of stainless steel to avoid being cavitated in water for a long time and adhering to the aluminum support ring of the combined seal block 5, thereby damaging the main shaft seal equipment.
[0041] The usage method and working principle of this embodiment are as follows:
[0042] The outer wall 2 of the sealing groove of the present embodiment is designed to be detachable in petals. When the combined sealing block 5 fails and needs to be replaced, the anti-wear plate 3 component can be kept intact. After removing the combined pin, the positioning pin and the fixing screws of the sealing support 1 can be removed, and the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove can be removed; after the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove is taken out, the combined sealing block 5 is not restricted by the outer wall and can be easily moved up and down; the height of the guide pin 6 is designed to be moderate, which can not only play a role in limiting the sealing block, but also does not affect the decomposition and removal of the combined sealing block 5; the sealing ring of the combined sealing block 5 is designed to be in a petal type, and the combined position is set to be an easy-to-disassemble plug-in type; when the combined sealing block 5 needs to be replaced, after the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove is removed, the combined sealing block 5 can be dropped, and after removing the combined screws of the sealing ring 502 and the support ring 501, the sealing ring 502 and the support ring 501 can be easily taken out over the guide pin 6. In this way, when the combined sealing block 5 fails and its sealing ring or support ring needs to be replaced, or when the support ring 501 is stuck with the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove, it can be quickly repaired without removing the anti-wear plate 3.
[0043] The easily detachable hydraulic turbine hydraulic end face main shaft seal structure provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0044] (1) The sealing support 1, the sealing groove outer wall 2 and the guide pin 6 of this embodiment are all designed to be made of stainless steel, and the support ring 501 in the combined sealing block 5 is made of aluminum, which can not only prevent the sealing groove outer wall 2 and other structures from adhering to the support ring 501 due to cavitation in water for a long time, thereby damaging the main shaft sealing device; but also reduce the weight of the combined sealing block 5 and reduce the water pressure requirement;
[0045] (2) The outer wall 2 of the sealing groove in this embodiment is designed to be detachable in petals. When the combined sealing block 5 fails and needs to be replaced, the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove can be removed without removing the anti-wear plate 3. After the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove is removed, the combined sealing block 5 can be easily moved up and down without being restricted by the outer wall.
[0046] (3) The sealing ring 501 in the combined sealing block 5 is designed to be a split-petal type, and the combined position is set to be a plug-in type that is easy to disassemble and assemble; when the combined sealing block 5 needs to be replaced, after the outer wall 2 of the sealing groove is removed, the combined sealing block 5 can be dropped, and after the combined screws of the sealing ring 502 and the support ring 501 are removed, the sealing ring 502 can be easily taken out;
[0047] (4) The height of the guide pin 6 is designed to be moderate, which can not only play a role in limiting the block of the combined seal 5, but also does not affect the disassembly and removal of the combined seal block 5; the distance from the top of the guide pin 6 to the anti-wear plate 3 is greater than the height of the sealing ring 502 and the support ring 501, and the sealing ring 502 and the support ring 501 can be easily removed after being disassembled.
[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be changed within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or the techniques or knowledge in the relevant field.
