Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cranking tools, in particular to a manual cranking tool for a gas turbine. Background Art
[0002] The GE 6F.03 gas turbine generator set is equipped with a variable speed load gearbox, which is a variable speed rotating mechanical device that converts the high speed (5231 rpm) output from the gas turbine end into the low speed (3000 rpm) output from the generator end. This device consists of a high-speed rotating shaft (with gears), a low-speed rotating shaft (with gears), a cranking motor, and a connecting lever (with a speed change gear). The cranking motor is essential for low-speed cranking of gas turbines. A Ø65 hexagonal connecting rod is connected to the end of the cranking motor rotor via a coupling. The hexagonal connecting rod serves as an auxiliary device for securing and rotating the manual cranking tool, providing space for the manual cranking tool to operate. Manual cranking must be performed continuously or at fixed positions, depending on the temperature range of the gas turbine's intertwining space. The cranking time is determined by the intertwining space temperature of the gas turbine. According to our gas turbine operating procedures, cranking can only be stopped when the intertwining space temperature drops below 65°C. Existing manual cranking tools are mostly operated by one person, which is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to achieve the torque required for the overall rotation of the gas turbine unit. This can easily cause uneven heating of the gas turbine rotor, leading to inevitable damage to the unit. Furthermore, the main shaft of the cranking tool can easily deform after prolonged use, affecting its proper operation.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new gas turbine manual turning tool to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

When two people operate the manual cranking device at the same time, it can save labor and meet the torque required for the overall rotation of the gas turbine set. By utilizing the working mode of the extended handle and the manual cranking force rod exerting force at the same time, the rotor of the gas turbine generator set can be cranked more easily, avoiding the occurrence of uneven heating of the gas turbine rotor.

At the same time, when the turning tool is not in use, the stop column can be slid out of the slide slot by hand, and then the extended handle can be taken out, reducing storage space and facilitating storage.

The first threaded holes and the second threaded holes are fixedly connected by bolts, so that the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft are fixedly connected to the disc, so that when the turning tool is rotated, the force applied to the main shaft can be dispersed through the auxiliary shaft, reducing the force applied to the main shaft and increasing the service life of the main shaft. When the turning tool is not in use, the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft can be separated from the disc by bolts, reducing storage space and facilitating storage.
