[0036] This embodiment provides a pressure pulsation vibration reduction structure for a turbine blade, see Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a fixed cylinder 1, a protective cover 2 is provided on the upper end of the fixed cylinder 1, a first sliding groove 11 is opened on the side wall of the fixed cylinder 1, a fixed rod 3 is provided in the fixed cylinder 1, a connecting column 4 is provided above the fixed rod 3, the connecting column 4 and the fixed rod 3 are connected by a first spring 5, the outer ring wall of the connecting column 4 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 41, the other end of the connecting plate 41 is connected to one end of the slider 42, the slider 42 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 11, the other end of the slider 42 is connected to the inner ring wall of the connecting ring 6, and the outer ring wall of the connecting ring 6 is connected to the runner blade 7.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the fixed cylinder 1 is hollow and a first slide groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the fixed cylinder 1. The first slide groove 11 is used to limit the movement of the slider 42 in the setting direction of the first slide groove 11. A fixed rod 3 is fixedly connected in the fixed cylinder 1. A cylindrical connecting column 4 is provided above the fixed rod 3. The connecting column 4 is inserted into the fixed cylinder 1. The outer ring wall of the connecting column 4 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 41. The other end of the connecting plate 41 is connected to one end of the slider 42 to limit the movement of the connecting column 4 in the fixed cylinder 1 along the setting direction of the first slide groove 11. The other end of the slider 42 is connected to the inner ring wall of the connecting ring 6. The connecting ring 6 is sleeved on the outer ring of the fixed cylinder 1. The outer ring wall of the connecting ring 6 is connected to the runner blade 7. The connecting column 4 and the fixed rod 3 are connected by a first spring 5. In the initial state, the water flow pushes the runner blade 7 to rotate. The first spring 5 is in an extended state. When the runner blade 7 is impacted by the pulsation of the water flow, the pushing impact force of the water on the runner blade 7 will increase in a short time. Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, the downward impact on the runner blades 7 drives the connecting ring 6 downward, which in turn drives the connecting column 4 connected to the connecting ring 6 downward within the fixed cylinder 1. This compresses the first spring 5 between the connecting column 4 and the fixed rod 3, converting part of the water flow's impact force on the runner blades 7 into elastic potential energy of the first spring 5, thereby reducing the impact force on the runner blades 7. Furthermore, the compression of the first spring 5 by the runner blades 7 prolongs the contact time between the water flow's impact force and the runner blades 7, reducing the energy transfer rate per unit time from the water flow's impact force to the runner blades 7. This reduces the instantaneous impact force on the runner blades 7 and the amplitude of the pressure pulsation experienced by the runner blades 7, thereby improving the operational stability of the turbine blades. Furthermore, connecting multiple runner blades 7 to the outer ring of the same connecting ring 6 allows them to maintain synchronization during movement, preventing the runner blades 7 from experiencing varying degrees of offset during movement and buffering, thus improving the operational stability of the turbine blades.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 2 is configured in a conical shape.
[0039] In the above embodiment, the protective cover 2 provided at the upper end of the fixed cylinder 1 is used to protect the internal components of the fixed cylinder 1 from being damaged by direct impact of the water flow. The top cover adopts a conical design with smooth side walls, which can reduce the resistance of the water flow passing through the protective cover 2, thereby avoiding the collision of the water flow with the front end of the protective cover 2 to form a vortex, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the operation of the runner blades 7.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 3 As shown, one end of the first spring 5 is sleeved with the upper end of the fixing rod 3 , and the other end of the first spring 5 is sleeved with the lower end of the connecting column 4 .
[0041] In the above embodiment, one end of the first spring 5 is socketed with the upper end of the fixing rod 3, and the other end of the first spring 5 is socketed with the lower end of the connecting column 4. The socketing of the first spring 5 with the fixing rod 3 and the connecting column 4 increases the connection area of the first spring 5, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability of the first spring 5.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the connecting column 4 is connected to a guide rod 43 , the upper end of the fixing rod 3 is provided with a guide hole 31 , and the guide rod 43 is inserted into the guide hole 31 .
[0043] In the above embodiment, the guide rod 43 connected to the bottom end of the connecting column 4 is plugged into the guide hole 31 opened at the upper end of the fixing rod 3 to guide the movement of the connecting column 4. Figure 2 For example, the connecting column 4 is kept vertical during the downward movement process to improve the stability of the connecting column 4 when moving.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the connecting ring 6 is connected to a fixing plate 61, and a connecting tube 62 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 61. A clamping tube 63 is inserted into the inside of the connecting tube 62, and one end of the clamping tube 63 is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 631, and the other end of the second spring 631 is connected to the clamping block 632. A socket 621 is provided on the side wall of the connecting tube 62, and the socket 621 is used to dock with the clamping block 632. The other end of the clamping tube 63 is connected to the side of the runner blade 7.
[0045] In the above embodiment, the outer wall of the connecting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 61, and one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 61 is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 62. A socket 621 is provided on the side wall of the connecting tube 62, and the socket 621 is used to dock with the clamping block 632. A clamping tube 63 is inserted into the inside of the connecting tube 62, and one end of the clamping tube 63 is fixedly connected to the second spring 631.
[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, one end of the second spring 631 is connected to the clamping tube 63, and the other end of the second spring 631 is connected to the blocking block 632. When the clamping tube 63 is plugged into the connecting tube 62, the second spring 631 is in an extended state, and the blocking block 632 is inserted into the socket 621 for blocking. When the runner blade 7 needs to be replaced, the blocking block 632 can be pushed into the socket 621. The blocking block 632 will squeeze the second spring 631 inside the clamping tube 63 until the blocking block 632 is disengaged from the socket 621 and retracted into the inside of the clamping tube 63. The clamping tube 63 can be pulled out to realize the disassembly of the runner blade 7. Compared with the fixedly connected runner blade 7, the disassembly is more flexible and convenient for the repair and maintenance of the runner blade 7.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 As shown, the lower end surface of the fixed cylinder 1 is connected with a sleeve 8.
[0048] In the above embodiment, the sleeve 8 connected to the lower end surface of the fixing cylinder 1 is used to connect the fixing cylinder 1 to the rotating shaft of the turbine, drive the turbine to rotate, and drive the generator to generate electricity.
[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the sleeve 8 is slidably connected to a threaded cylinder 81, and a limiting component is provided on the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 81. The limiting component includes a sliding pin 82, one end of the sliding pin 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 81, a second sliding groove 83 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 8, and a nut 84 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 81.
[0050] In the above embodiment, the inner wall of the sleeve 8 is slidingly connected with a threaded barrel 81, and the threaded barrel 81 can be pulled outward along the inner wall of the sleeve 8. A limiting component is provided on the outer wall of the threaded barrel 81, and the limiting component is used to prevent the threaded barrel 81 from sliding out of the sleeve 8. The limiting component includes a sliding pin 82, and one side of the outer wall of the sliding pin 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded barrel 81. A second sliding groove 83 is provided inside the sleeve 8. The threaded barrel 81 can be pulled to a suitable position by sliding through the sliding pin 82 and the second sliding groove 83, and the outer wall of the threaded barrel 81 is threadedly connected with a nut 84, which is beneficial to improving the adaptability and flexibility of the connection and installation between the fixed barrel 1 and the turbine.
[0051] In the actual use of this application: the water flow drives the runner blades 7 to rotate. When the water flow is too large and impacts the runner blades 7, a pressure pulse is generated on the runner blades 7. Figure 1 For example, the runner blades 7, under impact pressure, move downward, thereby driving the connecting ring 6 downward. This in turn drives the slider 42 downward within the first slot 11. As the slider 42 slides downward, it also presses the connecting post 4 downward. At this point, the guide rod 43 engages the guide hole 31, ensuring stable downward pressure on the connecting post 4. As the connecting post 4 moves downward, it compresses the first spring 5, converting some of the impact kinetic energy into the spring's elastic potential energy. This means that when the runner blades 7 are impacted and the first spring 5 is compressed, the contact time between the water's impact force and the runner blades 7 is prolonged, reducing the energy transfer rate per unit time. This reduces the instantaneous impact force on the runner blades 7 and the amplitude of the pressure pulsation experienced by the runner blades 7. The compression work of the first spring 5 converts some of the water's impact force on the runner blades 7 into the elastic potential energy of the first spring 5, thereby reducing the impact force experienced by the runner blades 7 and improving the operational stability of the turbine blades.
