Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gas turbine starting transmission device. Background Art
[0002] The basic principle of a gas turbine is to heat air by burning fuel, then use the air's energy to propel a turbine, which in turn drives a generator or other mechanical equipment. Like most internal combustion engines, gas turbines cannot operate independently (starting on their own) but require external force (energy) to start. The machine that provides the energy to rotate the gas turbine is typically called a starter. Currently, starters for small and medium-sized gas turbines in China are typically powered by DC motors. These motors are not only complex and prone to failure, but also require a separate, dedicated motor design, increasing costs. Furthermore, the high power required for the starter motor results in a larger motor, often requiring additional space to accommodate the motor. Therefore, we have designed a gas turbine starting drive to address these technical issues. Utility Model Content

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A gas turbine starting transmission device comprises: a main transmission casing 1 and an auxiliary transmission casing 5, wherein the main transmission casing 1 and the auxiliary transmission casing 5 are mounted horizontally and centered, wherein the auxiliary transmission shaft 5.1 of the auxiliary transmission casing is connected to an auxiliary half-coupling 11 via a leaf spring 4, and the main transmission shaft 1.2 of the main transmission casing is connected to a main half-coupling 2, wherein the main half-coupling and the auxiliary half-coupling are sleeved together and a safety bushing 3 is mounted therebetween via a bolt 6;
[0034] The main transmission casing includes a main housing 1.24, a compressor transmission assembly, a gas turbine transmission assembly, a lubricating oil pump transmission assembly and a fuel pump transmission assembly;
[0035] A chip indicator 1.27 is provided on the upper portion of the main transmission casing for detecting the purity of the oil discharged from the central transmission device, and a magnetic iron chip catcher 1.26 is provided on the lower portion for detecting the purity of all oil discharged from the transmission casing.
[0036] The main transmission casing has flanges on both sides. One side is a rectangular flange for fixing the lubricating oil pump assembly; the other side is for installing the fuel pump. A boss is provided along the axis of the main casing, on which the main transmission bevel gear 1.3 and the centrifugal ratchet clutch 1.1 are mounted.
[0037] The centrifugal ratchet clutch comprises a bearing outer ring 1.1.2 and a bearing inner ring 1.1.1. Multiple latching pins 1.1.4 are connected to the bearing inner ring via pins 1.1.3. A piston 1.1.5 with a spring 1.1.6 presses the claws against the bearing outer ring through the through-holes of the bearing inner ring, thereby engaging with the protrusions on the bearing outer ring. Torque is transmitted from the bearing outer ring to the pins and the bearing inner ring.
[0038] Because the center of rotation of the bayonet pin is designed to be inconsistent with its center of gravity, when the coupling reaches the starting speed K, the centrifugal force acting on the bayonet pin becomes greater than the spring torque, causing the bayonet pin to disengage—the clutch is disconnected and remains disconnected under all gas turbine operating conditions.
[0039] When the unit stops and the speed drops below the starting speed K, the centrifugal force acting on the detent pin becomes less than the spring torque, causing the detent pin to rotate toward engagement. When the back of the detent pin contacts the raised point on the outer race of the active half coupling, the coupling resumes engagement. This process is completed before the low-pressure compressor rotor completely stops. When the unit is shut down, the clutch is always ready to operate again.
[0040] The gas turbine starting transmission device is described, wherein the compressor transmission assembly includes a compressor transmission shaft 1.5, a compressor rotor shaft 1.8 and a compressor 1.9. A compressor transmission main bevel gear 1.4, a compressor transmission first sub-bevel gear 1.6 and a compressor transmission second sub-bevel gear 1.10 are fixed to the compressor transmission shaft. The compressor transmission main bevel gear 1.4 on the compressor transmission shaft is meshed with the main transmission bevel gear 1.3 on the main transmission shaft, and the compressor transmission first sub-bevel gear is meshed with the compressor rotor bevel gear 1.7 on the compressor rotor shaft.

A fuel pump transmission main spur gear 1.21 is fixed to the fuel pump rotor shaft. The fuel pump transmission main spur gear is meshed with a fuel pump transmission secondary spur gear 1.20 on a fuel pump transmission shaft 1.30.

[0045] The auxiliary transmission case combines torque and steering. Lubrication of the bearings and bevel gear meshing within the case is achieved through an oil bath. The oil level within the case is indicated by the dipstick 5.6. Oil is poured into the case through the hole where the dipstick is mounted until the oil level reaches between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. A pipe fitting 5.7, located at the lower end of the case, is used to drain the lubricant from the case.
[0046] The gas turbine starting transmission device is described, and the second bevel gear of the compressor transmission is fixed on the compressor transmission shaft 1.5. The sensor shaft is driven to rotate through the gas turbine rotor bevel gear, the gas turbine rotor spur gear and the lubricating oil pump transmission spur gear. A spline is provided in the shaft for connecting to the lubricating oil pump group transmission leaf spring to transmit torque. The speed sensor is installed to measure the speed of the low-pressure compressor rotor. The sensor shaft induces the sensor to generate a signal proportional to the speed of the low-pressure compressor rotor, which is used to detect the condition of the unit.
[0047] The gas turbine starting transmission device is provided with a gas turbine rotor manual turning position 1.14 at the end of the gas turbine rotor shaft.
