Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of generator set assembly, and specifically, to a flange bolt sealing structure. Background Art

[0002] The power plant condenser adopts a rubber ball cleaning device. Although it can alleviate the fouling problem of the condenser to a certain extent, since the rubber balls are randomly distributed with the water flow and are easily affected by the quality and flow rate of the circulating water. According to the investigation of the operation of the condenser, there are many problems with the installed rubber ball system. The rubber ball system generally has high failure rate, low ball collection rate, and garbage blocking the heat exchange tubes, resulting in a low cleaning coefficient of the condenser. Therefore, the power plant plans to introduce a condenser performance monitoring and on-line cleaning device to achieve long-term clean and efficient operation of the condenser, improve the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser, and reduce the project cost.

[0003] Due to the limited installation space of the equipment and the compact structure design of the equipment, flange studs are used for fixed connection in many places. As Figure 1 shown, it is composed of a base flange 1, an upper flange plug 2, a traditional screw 7 and a traditional nut 8. And this kind of connection and sealing method is also widely used in power plant equipment. Because of the compact structure and narrow space of this kind of connection and sealing structure, it is difficult to handle if leakage occurs. Usually, sealing measures are taken to block the outer end of the contact surface between the base flange and the upper flange plug. However, leakage also occurs at the gap between the traditional nut 8, the traditional screw 7 and the upper flange plug 2. Considering the convenience of later repair and disassembly, there is currently no reliable and convenient sealing method, resulting in easy leakage of the medium through the gap between the nut and the screw.

[0004] Based on the above reasons, solving the emergency treatment problem of the flange stud connection sealing structure can greatly improve the equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technical solution. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to aim at the deficiencies of the prior art, and thus provide a flange bolt sealing structure with good sealing performance, convenient for later rapid replacement and maintenance, and low transformation cost.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a flange bolt sealing structure, including a base flange, an upper flange plug, a stud, a sealing nut, a first packing sealing structure and a second packing sealing structure;

[0008] A plurality of bolt blind holes are arranged on the upper end surface of the base flange, and a plurality of corresponding mounting holes are arranged on the upper flange plug;

[0009] The upper flange plug plate is installed on the upper end face of the base flange through the cooperation of double-headed studs and sealing nuts;

[0010] The lower threaded section of the double-headed stud is in threaded fit with the bolt blind hole of the base flange;

[0011] The upper threaded section of the double-headed stud is in threaded fit with the sealing nut;

[0012] The first packing seal structure is arranged at the bottom end of the inner ring side wall of the sealing nut;

[0013] The second packing seal structure is arranged at the lower part of the inner ring side wall of the sealing nut;

[0014] The inner sides of the first packing seal structure and the second packing seal structure are both located on the smooth section of the double-headed stud.

[0015] The most important improvement is the addition of the double-headed stud and the two packing seal structures, making the middle a smooth section, and the contact between the smooth section and the packing seal structure is closer, thereby enhancing the sealing performance.

[0016] Based on the above, the thread directions of the upper threaded section and the lower threaded section of the double-headed stud are the same.

[0017] Based on the above, an annular sealing groove is arranged at the lower part of the inner ring side wall of the sealing nut, and the second packing seal structure is installed in the annular sealing groove.

[0018] The sealing groove is an annular embedded groove. After the second packing seal structure is embedded, it protrudes slightly from the inner surface of the sealing nut, thereby forming a good sealing performance.

[0019] Based on the above, an annular straight chamfer is arranged at the lower part of the inner ring side wall of the sealing nut, and the cross section of the first packing seal structure is a triangle matching the straight chamfer.

[0020] The angle of the straight chamfer is preferably 30°-45°, usually designed as 45 degrees. The cross section of the first packing seal structure is triangular, and the overall shape is conical.

[0021] Based on the above, the materials of the first packing seal structure and the second packing seal structure are asbestos fabric or carbon fiber or rubber or graphite or engineering plastic.

[0022] In principle, it needs to have a certain flexibility to facilitate installation.

[0023] Based on the above, the sealing nut is a T-shaped nut.

[0024] One end of the T-shaped head is in contact with the upper flange plug plate, increasing the contact surface, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force.

[0025] Based on the above, a temporary sealing measure structure is provided at the outer end of the joint between the base flange and the upper flange plug plate.

[0026] Based on the above, the temporary sealing measure structure includes waterproof sealant.

[0027] The utility model has substantial features and progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0028] 1. Compared with the traditional solution, in this solution, the traditional screw is transformed into a stud bolt. Its lower end is in threaded fit with the base flange, and its upper end is in threaded fit with the sealing nut. The double-section threads provide stronger pre-tightening force. The smooth section in the middle contacts the newly added sealing structure, which can increase the sealing contact area and improve the sealing performance. Moreover, during later replacement and maintenance, it is relatively easier to remove and install the sealing nut and the stud bolt.

[0029] 2. Based on the traditional nut structure, a first packing seal structure and a second packing seal structure are added inside it to widen the contact area between the nut and the upper stud bolt, and to seal the gap between the stud bolt and the upper flange plug plate, thereby ensuring the fastening and sealing strength of the nut and enhancing the reliability.
