[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: This load pre-lifting hydroturbine governor power failure shutdown control device:

[0027] 1. The load impeller installed at the bottom end of the governor brake is connected and rotated through a mechanical shaft. When receiving the liquid filled inside, as the load impeller rotates, it drives the shaft plate to rotate and close the pipe. Before the hydroturbine loses power, the electric drive gate is driven by electricity to open and receive drainage. The load impeller drives the shaft plate to provide an advance closing lift before power failure, reducing the flowing water volume and flow velocity in the hydroturbine impeller space, thus reducing the load rejection pressure on the unit, reducing the occurrence of abnormal conditions such as rotational speed fluctuations and overspeed, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to frequent impacts, and at the same time extending a certain time for the power system to detect and diagnose abnormalities, enabling the hydroturbine unit to operate stably for a long time.

[0028] 2. The electric drive gate opened in advance is connected to the pipe of the hydroturbine unit, thereby increasing the space for the water load in the hydroturbine. When the unit governor is in the state before power failure, the flowing water unloading space is further increased, achieving the effect of reducing the load rejection pressure in the unit. As the load impeller and the auxiliary impeller rotate to buffer the water flow impact, the pipes connected to the control valve and the guiding pipe discharge the excess water, reducing the occurrence of abnormal conditions such as rotational speed fluctuations and overspeed of the hydroturbine impeller, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to frequent impacts, and enabling the hydroturbine unit to operate stably for a long time.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a load pre-lifting water turbine governor power failure shutdown control device, including a water flow pipe 1, a buffer water turbine box 2, a sealing plate 3, a load impeller 4, an electric drive gate 5, a solenoid valve 1 6, a drain pipe 7, a solenoid valve 2 8, a pressure pump 9, a steering working box 10, a control valve 11, a lifting column 12, an auxiliary impeller 13, a cover plate 14, a guide frame 15 and a guide pipe 16;

[0038] Among them, the water flow pipe 1 is installed and connected below the impeller and the governor gate of the water turbine. A buffer water turbine box 2 is provided on one side of the water flow pipe 1, and a load impeller 4 is rotatably connected inside the buffer water turbine box 2. The load impeller 4 is located inside the buffer water turbine box 2 to buffer and unload the incoming water flow;

[0039] An electric drive gate 5 is provided at the pipe connection of the water flow pipe 1 and the water turbine, and a rubber seal member that abuts against the inner wall surface of the water flow pipe 1 is provided at the bottom end of the electric drive gate 5. The water flow pipe 1 is connected to a steering working box 10 on one side, and a control valve 11 is provided on one side of the steering working box 10. The water flow pipe 1 penetrates through one side of the buffer water turbine box 2, and a pipe penetrating the bottom end is provided on one side of the buffer water turbine box 2;

[0040] A liquid delivery anti-impulse assembly is provided at the bottom end of the buffer water turbine box 2 to relieve the pressure of the water flow received by the load impeller 4 during a power outage and buffer the water flow pressure;

[0041] The lifting column 12 is arranged at the upper end of the steering working box 10. At the bottom end of the output rod body of the lifting column 12, a cover plate 14 is provided, and a seal is provided at the bottom end of the cover plate 14. An auxiliary impeller 13 is sleeved on the surface of the output rod body of the lifting column 12. A protruding rod body is provided at the bottom end of the cover plate 14, and a guiding frame 15 is provided on the surface of the rod body of the cover plate 14. The guiding frame 15 is placed inside the guiding pipe 16. The guiding frame 15 is arranged as a vertically spiral plate structure, and a rubber ring is provided at the connection between the guiding frame 15 and the cover plate 14. The top end of the guiding pipe 16 is installed at the bottom end of the steering working box 10, and the bottom end of the guiding pipe 16 is arranged as a funnel-shaped pipe structure;

[0042] Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-6 As shown, when in use, the water pipe 1 is connected to the part of the water turbine near the impeller and the governor gate. Before the water turbine governor loses power and shuts down, it is detected and controlled by the power system. At this time, the governor gate is not fully closed. By opening the electric drive gate 5 in advance, the water pipe 1 receives the flowing water part flowing from the governor gate to the water turbine impeller, so that the load impeller 4 located inside the buffer water wheel box 2 receives the flowing water impact thrust, and the mechanical shaft rod connected to the top end of the load impeller 4 drives the governor brake piece to rotate, increasing the closing opening and lifting position in advance. When the governor loses power and shuts down, the governor brake piece is closed in advance to close the pipeline, avoiding the further entry of flowing water. At this time, the water is further discharged through the drain pipe 7 to reduce the load, and the pressure relief space is increased through the opened control valve 11, and the auxiliary impeller 13 is used to further buffer the impact of the flowing water, avoiding excessive impact load on the output end of the lifting column 12. After the lifting column 12 is opened, the cover plate 14 provided at the bottom end is driven, so that the guiding frame 15 at the bottom end of the cover plate 14 is lifted, and part of the flowing water passes through the spiral plate of the guiding frame 15 and enters the inside of the guiding pipe 16. Through the setting of the guiding pipe 16, a pressure relief load space is provided for the large amount of water flowing into the water pipe 1. The spiral structure of the guiding frame 15 and the funnel-shaped structure of the guiding pipe 16 are used to increase the discharge speed of the flowing water. Through the cooperation of the electric drive gate 5 and the flowing water inside the unit, when the unit governor has a power outage and the gate is not closed, the flowing water unloading space is increased and the closing speed of the governor brake piece is pre-lifted, reducing the load rejection pressure of the unit. Through the connection of the electric drive gate 5 opened in advance and the water turbine unit pipeline, under the rotation cooperation of the load impeller 4 and the auxiliary impeller 13, the closing angle of the governor brake piece is pre-increased, and the control valve 11 and the guiding pipe 16 cooperate to provide a discharge space for the water accumulated in the water pipe 1, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to frequent impacts, enabling the water turbine unit to operate stably for a long time, and ensuring the stability inside the water turbine unit during power outage and shutdown;

[0043] The liquid delivery and anti-impact assembly includes:

[0044] The solenoid valve 6 is installed at the pipe orifice of the buffer water wheel box 2;

[0045] A drain pipe 7, one end of which is connected to the bottom end of the pipeline of the buffer water turbine box 2, and the drain pipe 7 is arranged in an F-shaped pipeline structure. The drain pipe 7 is arranged at the bottom end of the load impeller 4, and a sealing plate 3 is installed at the top end of the load impeller 4;

[0046] A second solenoid valve 8, which is installed at the other port of the F-shaped pipeline of the drain pipe 7;

[0047] A pressure pump 9, which is connected to the other port of the F-shaped pipeline of the drain pipe 7, and a seal is provided at the connection between the pressure pump 9 and the second solenoid valve 8. The pressure pump 9 is communicated with the drain pipe 7 through the second solenoid valve 8, and the drain pipe 7 is communicated with the buffer water turbine box 2 through the first solenoid valve 6;

[0048] Combined with the Figures 1-6 shown in the attached drawings of the specification, when the electric drive gate 5 is closed during the daily operation of the water turbine, and when an electrical anomaly is detected at the power system where the water turbine works, the electric drive gate 5 is opened in advance, so that the water pipe 1 receives the incoming water flow, causing the load impeller 4 to start rotating and drive the speed regulating valve blade to rotate to accelerate the closing speed. The first solenoid valve 6 and the drain pipe 7 installed in the pipeline at the bottom end of the buffer water turbine box 2 are kept closed in the powered state according to the power state to avoid the leakage of water flow, and are opened in the power-off state, so that the liquid inside the buffer water turbine box 2 flows to the outside. The second solenoid valve 8 arranged at one end of the drain pipe 7 starts the pressure pump 9 to provide an external pushing pressure for the discharged liquid when the water flow in the pipeline is scarce and the pressure is insufficient. It is arranged through the drain pipe 7 and the external pipeline to discharge the excess bearing water flow in the working area of the water turbine. Through the linkage between the pipelines, the device has good adaptability in the complex operating environment of the hydropower plant, is used to cooperate with the pressure relief and assistance during the operation of the governor, and provides auxiliary control processing for pressure relief during the power failure and shutdown of the water turbine governor.

[0049] Working principle: When using the power-off shutdown control device for the load pre-lifting water turbine governor, connect the water flow pipe 1 to the water flow in the water turbine governor pipeline. When the power system detecting the power abnormality during the operation of the water turbine, the electric drive gate 5 is opened in advance. Driven by the water flow, the load impeller 4 rotates, causing the load impeller 4 to drive the closing angle of the governor brake pads to close in advance. As the load impeller 4 rotates, the governor brake pads are closed. After isolating the water turbine impeller from the external water flow, the electric drive gate 5 is closed before the water turbine is powered on to open the governor brake pads. The solenoid valve 6 in the drain pipe 7 at the bottom of the buffer water wheel box 2 is opened, allowing the drain pipe 7 to receive part of the water flow brought in by the rotation speed of the load impeller 4. The solenoid valve 2 is connected to the pressure pump 9 to provide thrust for discharging the water flow inside the drain pipe 7. After the preliminary discharge through the drain pipe 7, the control valve 11 rotates and opens according to the water flow velocity condition to discharge the excess flowing water inside the water flow pipe 1. The guiding pipe 16 at the bottom of the steering working box 10, through the operation of the lifting column 12, opens the cover plate 14 to increase the discharge port. The spiral plate of the guiding frame 15 increases the water flow path, and together with the funnel-shaped structure of the guiding pipe 16, facilitates the discharge of the liquid from the guiding pipe 16, significantly improving the stability of the device during the entire operation process, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to frequent impacts, thus assisting the water turbine unit to operate stably for a long time and increasing the overall practicality.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
