Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydropower stations, in particular to a limiting device for recording the wear amount of a main shaft seal in a hydropower station. Background Art
[0002] The main function of the main shaft seal of a hydropower station is to effectively prevent water from overflowing from the gap between the main shaft and the top cover. If the floating ring of the main shaft seal becomes stuck or moves, it will cause excessive water leakage and flood the guide bearing, waterwheel chamber and other parts.
[0003] Currently, hydropower stations have no reliable means to monitor the wear of the sealing block inside the end-face water pressure self-balancing main shaft seal. Some internal monitoring methods for the main shaft seal are unable to effectively and reliably judge the health status of the equipment and the maintenance cycle due to the extreme actual operating environment of the main shaft seal block. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a limiting device for recording the wear amount of the main shaft seal of a hydropower station. The utility model has the advantage of being able to reliably monitor the main shaft seal block.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a limit device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in a hydropower station, comprising a limit block arranged on a water tank cover and a displacement sensor vertically installed at the gap between the limit block and the water tank cover; the upper side of the limit block is installed on the floating ring through a primary connection structure, and the lower side of the limit block is correspondingly connected to the water tank cover through a secondary connection structure.
[0006] In the aforementioned limiting device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in the hydropower station, the primary connection structure includes a fixing bolt and a connecting pin that pass through the limiting block and connects to the floating ring.
[0007] In the aforementioned limiting device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in the hydropower station, the secondary connection structure includes a U-shaped hole on the limiting block and a limiting bolt passing through the U-shaped hole and connected to the water tank cover.
[0008] In the aforementioned limit device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in the hydropower station, the displacement sensor is used to detect the gap value β, which is the distance between the bottom of the limit block and the water tank cover.
[0009] In the aforementioned limit device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal of the hydropower station, the limit device is set in corresponding quantity according to the diameter of the turbine shaft;
[0010] The diameter of the turbine shaft is ≤1000mm, and two turbines are set in symmetrical directions;
[0011] The diameter of the turbine shaft is ≥1000mm, and 4 turbine shafts are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction.
[0012] In the aforementioned limiting device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in the hydropower station, the limiting block is made of stainless steel.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application sets a limit block and a displacement sensor. The upper side of the limit block is connected to the floating ring through a primary connection structure, and the lower side is connected to the water tank cover through a secondary connection structure. The sensor is vertically arranged in the gap between the limit block and the water tank cover.
[0014] The present application can effectively prevent the floating ring from excessive axial and radial deviation, and solve the problem of floating ring jamming during the operation of the end face water pressure self-balancing main shaft seal.
[0015] This application can monitor the specific wear of the sealing block in real time through a displacement sensor, effectively solving the problem that the excessive wear of the sealing block causes the operation and maintenance personnel to make inaccurate judgments on the health status of the equipment, resulting in the unit being unable to operate reliably.
[0016] Therefore, the utility model has the advantage of being able to reliably monitor the main shaft sealing block. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0017] Figure 1 It is a front view of the utility model;
[0018] Figure 2 It is a side view of the present utility model.
[0019] The marks in the accompanying drawings are: 1-process bolt, 2-U-shaped hole, 3-connecting pin, 4-fixing bolt, 5-displacement sensor, 6-water tank cover, 7-floating ring. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0021] Example. A limit device for recording the wear of the main shaft seal in a hydropower station, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a limit block provided on the water tank cover 6 and a displacement sensor 5 vertically installed at the gap between the limit block and the water tank cover 6; the upper side of the limit block is installed on the floating ring 7 through a primary connection structure, and the lower side of the limit block is correspondingly connected to the water tank cover 6 through a secondary connection structure.
[0022] The primary connection structure includes a fixing bolt 4 and a connecting pin 3 that pass through the limit block and are connected to the floating ring 7.
[0023] The secondary connection structure includes a U-shaped hole 2 provided on the limiting block and a limiting bolt 1 passing through the U-shaped hole 2 and connected to the water tank cover 6 .
[0024] The displacement sensor 5 is used to detect the gap value β, which is the distance between the bottom of the limit block and the water tank cover 6.
[0025] The number of the limiting devices is set according to the diameter of the turbine shaft;
[0026] The diameter of the turbine shaft is ≤1000mm, and two turbines are set in symmetrical directions;
[0027] The diameter of the turbine shaft is ≥1000mm, and 4 turbine shafts are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction.
[0028] The limiting block is made of stainless steel.
[0029] The application is installed in the X and -X directions. When installing, measure the distance between the bottom of the limit block and the water tank cover 6 as the initial gap value β. Figure 2 ;
[0030] When the sealing block is worn, the floating ring 7 moves downward and the displacement sensor 5 moves with it. Since the sealing block and the upper cover of the floating ring 7 are in contact with a mirror plate, the matching accuracy is high and the gap is negligible. Therefore, the signal transmitted by the displacement sensor 5 can basically be regarded as the change in the gap value β between the bottom of the limit block and the water tank cover 6. This can monitor the wear of the sealing block at any time.
