Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tools for installing dynamic balancing blocks, in particular to a tool for installing dynamic balancing blocks on a low-pressure rotor of a steam turbine. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the steam turbine rotor, it is often affected by unbalanced forces. In order to ensure the safe operation of the unit, a high-speed dynamic balancing test must be carried out before the rotor leaves the factory. During the design process, balancing holes are often reserved for dynamic balancing in the factory, and dovetail grooves are left at both ends of the low-pressure rotor to facilitate the installation of dynamic balancing blocks. After dynamic balancing in the factory, the rotor imbalance can be guaranteed to be within a certain range.

[0003] Dovetail-shaped balancing weights are often used for in-plant rotor balancing. During high-speed balancing in the factory, the weights can be inserted along the dovetail grooves, making installation relatively easy. However, due to the relatively low weight of a single dovetail-shaped balancing weight, multiple weights are typically required, and the weights require set screws, which increases risk. Furthermore, because tools are not readily available for installation, elevated rotor temperatures prevent personnel from approaching, extending installation time.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an installation tool for installing a dynamic balancing block on a low-pressure rotor of a steam turbine in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
