The device comprises a mounting platform 1 , a restraining component 2 , a pushing member 3 , a driving mechanism 4 , a pad 5 and a vibrator 6 .

[0039] The surface of the mounting platform 1 is provided for placing the arc-shaped steam gland 8 thereon.

[0040] The restraining component 2 is provided on the table top of the mounting table 1, and is used to restrain the mounting table 1 and the steam seal sleeve 8 together in a detachable manner. In this embodiment, the restraining component 2 includes two columns 21, which are arranged side by side on the table top of the mounting table 1, so that the two end faces of the arc-shaped steam seal sleeve 8 correspond to the side faces of their respective columns 21, and the side faces of the columns 21 are provided with strip-shaped through holes 210 extending along the length direction of the columns 21. The restraining component 2 also includes two groups of first fasteners 22, and each group of first fasteners 22 is a screw-nut member. One end of the screw in the screw-nut member passes through the through hole 210 on the corresponding column 21 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the end face of the corresponding steam seal sleeve 8. The other end of the screw is threadedly connected to a nut to press the end face of the steam seal sleeve 8 against the side face of the column 21. For details, please refer to Figure 3 In order to be suitable for steam seal sleeves 8 with different inner diameters, the distance between the two columns 21 is adjustable, that is, the two columns 21 are arranged on the table top of the mounting platform 1 in a manner that they can be relatively moved and then fixed. Specifically, the table top of the mounting platform 1 is provided with a strip-shaped mounting hole 11 extending along the arrangement direction of the two columns. The upper end of the screw passes through the strip-shaped mounting hole 11 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the lower end surface of the corresponding column 21. The lower end of the screw is threadedly connected with a nut to fix and press the column 21 on the table top of the mounting platform 1, and the distance between the two columns 21 can be adjusted. For details, please refer to Figure 3 、 4 、6.

[0041] The pusher 3 is located on the surface of the mounting platform 1, between the two columns 21, and is used to correspond to the end face of the arc-shaped steam seal body 9 on the inner wall of the steam seal sleeve 8. The output end of the drive mechanism 4 acts on the pusher 3, driving the pusher 3 to rotate along the circumference of the steam seal sleeve 8, thereby pushing the steam seal body 9 to move circumferentially relative to the steam seal sleeve 8 until it is separated from the steam seal sleeve 8.

[0042] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 4 includes a power member 41, a rotating shaft 42 and a transmission sleeve 43. The rotating shaft 42 is arranged vertically and can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the power member 41. The upper end of the rotating shaft 42 is located above the table surface of the mounting platform 1, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 42 is located below the table surface of the mounting platform 1. The rotating shaft 42 is constrained to the mounting platform 1 through a bearing 420. The power member 41 is an existing driven hydraulic wrench. The transmission sleeve 43 is located above the table surface of the mounting platform 1 and is circumferentially sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 42. It can rotate with the rotating shaft 42, and the height of the transmission sleeve 43 is adjustable to match steam seals of different axial sizes, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a transmission sleeve 43 is mounted on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 42 so as to be movable up and down. The sidewall of the transmission sleeve 43 is provided with a threaded hole extending through the thickness of the sleeve itself. A locking bolt 44 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and abuts against the side of the rotating shaft 42, thereby securing the transmission sleeve 43 to the rotating shaft 42. When the height of the transmission sleeve 43 needs to be adjusted, the locking bolt is loosened. The transmission sleeve 43 is provided with a connecting arm 430 extending outward from the side of the transmission sleeve 43. The pusher 3 is mounted on the connecting arm 430 so as to be movable along the length of the connecting arm 430 and then fixed. Specifically, the pusher 3 is a vertically arranged plate having a strip-shaped hole 32 extending along the length of the connecting arm 430. The second fastener 7 is a bolt-nut member. The shank of the bolt in the bolt-nut member passes through the connecting hole in the connecting arm 430 and the strip-shaped hole 32 in the plate, and then is threadedly connected to the nut in the bolt-nut member, thereby connecting the connecting arm 430 and the pusher 3 and pressing them together. At the same time, the first surface on one side of the plate is designed to correspond to the end face of the steam seal body 9 and extends radially along the steam seal body 9. Three spacers 5 (made of copper) are spaced vertically on the plate. Each spacer 5 is convex in shape, with its small end inserted into a through-hole 31 in the plate and its large end protruding from the first surface of the plate to contact the end face of the steam seal body 9. During removal, the appropriate spacer 5 can be selected based on the size of the steam seal body 9 and inserted into the through-hole 31 in the plate, making the removal process easier.

[0043] The vibrator 6 acts on the second surface of the plate to vibrate the plate. In this embodiment, the vibrator 6 is a conventional pneumatic turbine vibrator equipped with a compact vacuum air pump 60. The vibrator generates vibrations during operation, preventing the plate from jamming when pushing against the seal body 9.
