Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water pumps and water turbines, in particular to a static balancing tool for a water pump and water turbine runner. Background Art

[0002] The runner is the core component of a pump-turbine unit. To ensure smooth operation of the unit, the runner must be statically balanced after manufacturing to reduce the weight of the unbalanced areas. Conventional runner static balancing tools are used with the runner in an upright position. Because the outer diameter of the static balancing ball seat support or convex ball, determined based on the runner weight, is larger than the inner diameter of the runner's drain cone, to avoid interference between the inner diameter of the drain cone and the ball seat support and convex ball during static balancing, the drain cone and upper crown must be separated into two parts. The joint surface between the drain cone and the upper crown is located at a certain position along the runner's height. The drain cone does not participate in the static balancing of the runner. After the runner is balanced, the drain cone and the upper crown are welded together. Current methods weld the drain cone onto a finely machined and balanced runner. This causes deformation of the finely machined area, damage to the runner surface due to weld spatter, and a certain period of time to repair weld defects. Furthermore, the uneven weld between the drain cone and the upper crown and the misalignment of the drain cone with the runner's rotation axis due to installation deviations can adversely affect the balanced runner.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to propose a static balancing tool for a pump turbine runner. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a low-cost, highly versatile, highly efficient, and highly precise static balancing tool for pump-turbine runners. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: it comprises a first screw, a convex ball, a support sleeve, a second screw, a suspension shaft, a first bolt, a flange, a second bolt, a suspension bracket, a ball seat support, and a synchronous cylinder. The flange is secured to the runner via the first bolt, the convex ball is secured to the support sleeve via the first screw, the suspension shaft is secured to the support sleeve via the second screw, the support sleeve is secured to the flange via the second bolt, the suspension bracket is mounted on the flange, the ball seat support is located directly below the convex ball, and the synchronous cylinder piston rod bears against the outer surface A of the runner crown.

[0005] In the above-mentioned static balancing tool for the pump turbine runner, eight first bolts are evenly distributed around the circumference; the flange and the runner are matched with a centering stop.

[0006] In the above-mentioned static balancing tool for the pump turbine runner, the first screw is a hexagon socket head screw; the convex ball and the support sleeve are matched with a centering stop.

[0007] In the above-mentioned static balancing tool for the pump turbine runner, eight second screws are evenly distributed around the circumference; the second screws are hexagonal cylindrical head screws and the cylindrical head protrudes from the crown end surface B of the runner; the hanging shaft and the support sleeve are matched with a centering stop; the first outer diameter of the hanging shaft is 2 mm smaller than the first inner diameter of the drain cone.

[0008] In the above-mentioned pump-turbine runner static balancing tool, eight second bolts are evenly distributed around the circumference; the support sleeve and the flange are matched with a centering stop.

[0009] In the above-mentioned static balancing tool for the pump turbine runner, two lifting tabs installed on the flange are evenly distributed in the circumference; the lifting tabs are connected to the flange by threads.

[0010] In the above-mentioned pump-turbine runner static balancing tool, four synchronous cylinders are evenly distributed around the circumference; the end faces of the piston rods of the four synchronous cylinders are supported at the same height on the outer side surface A of the runner; and the outer side surface A of the runner is perpendicular to the runner axis.

[0011] In the above-mentioned static balancing tool for the pump turbine runner, the second outer diameter of the ball seat support is 30 mm smaller than the second inner diameter of the support sleeve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. When the size of the wheel to be balanced changes, only the flange needs to be replaced accordingly. The support sleeve, convex ball, ball seat support, etc. do not need to be replaced. It has strong versatility and low cost.

[0014] 2. The convex ball and the support sleeve, the support sleeve and the flange, and the flange and the runner are respectively matched with centering stoppers, which can realize the coaxial installation of the convex ball, support sleeve, flange and runner, ensure the accuracy of the static balancing result, and avoid the error of the static balancing result of the runner caused by different axes.

[0015] 3. The second screw is a hexagon socket head screw and the cylindrical head protrudes from the upper crown end surface B of the runner, which is not only compact in structure but also convenient for loosening and tightening the second screw when disassembling and assembling the hanging shaft.

[0016] 4. The hanging shaft and the support sleeve are matched with a centering stop to avoid the second screw from bearing shear stress during the flipping of the front and rear wheels of static balance, thereby improving safety and reducing the diameter of the second screw. The structure is compact, light and low in cost.

[0017] 5. The lifting hook and the flange are connected by threads. Before achieving the static balance of the runner, the lifting hook can be removed to avoid the different weights of the two lifting hooks affecting the static balance result of the runner.

[0018] 6. The end faces of the piston rods of the four synchronous cylinders are supported at the same height on the outer side A of the upper crown of the runner, and the outer side A of the upper crown of the runner is perpendicular to the axis of the runner, so that the convex ball, support sleeve, flange and axis of the runner are perpendicular during the descending process of the piston rod of the synchronous cylinder, avoiding the error of static balance result caused by the tilt of the above axis.

[0019] 7. After the unbalanced runner is floated by high-pressure oil, the runner axis will tilt due to the runner's own weight imbalance. At the same time, the flange and support sleeve coaxially installed with the runner will tilt accordingly. The second outer diameter of the ball seat support is 30mm smaller than the second inner diameter of the support sleeve. This can avoid the above-mentioned tilt causing the second inner circle of the support sleeve to contact the second outer circle of the ball seat support, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the runner's weight imbalance and orientation determination.
