[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be further specifically described below with reference to embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Example: Figure 1-5As shown, a three-out-of-two steam turbine shutdown structure for online testing includes a quick-closing valve 9. An oil inlet pipe 1 is provided at one end of the quick-closing valve 9, and an oil return pipe 7 is provided at the other end of the quick-closing valve 9. An unloading valve I8 is provided between the oil inlet pipe 1 and the oil return pipe 7, and is connected to the quick-closing valve 9. A hydraulic control assembly is provided between the oil inlet pipe 1 and the oil return pipe 7, and is connected to the unloading valve I8. An unloading valve II6 is provided on the side of the unloading valve I8, and is connected in parallel with the unloading valve I8 and is connected to the hydraulic control assembly, the oil inlet pipe 1, the oil return pipe 7, and the quick-closing valve 9. The hydraulic control assembly includes a solenoid valve I2, which is connected to the oil inlet pipe 1 and the oil return pipe 7. The hydraulic control assembly also includes solenoid valve II3 and solenoid valve III4. Solenoid valve II3 is connected to solenoid valve I2, solenoid valve III4, and unloading valve I by 8-phase piping. Solenoid valve III4 is connected to solenoid valve I2, solenoid valve II3, and unloading valve I by 8-phase piping. Solenoid valve I2, solenoid valve II3, and solenoid valve III4 are all equipped with travel switches 5.
[0021] When any two or three of solenoid valves I2, II3 and III4 receive the shutdown signal and act, the pressure oil in unloading valve I8 and unloading valve II6 can be quickly unloaded, so that the A / B ports in unloading valve I8 and unloading valve II6 are connected, and the quick-closing valve 9 is closed to realize the shutdown of the turbine.
[0022] When any one of the solenoid valves Ⅰ2, Ⅱ3 and Ⅲ4 stops working, the pressure oil in the unloading valve Ⅰ8 and Ⅱ6 will not be unloaded, the pressure will remain constant, the quick-closing valve 9 will open normally and the turbine will not stop working.
[0023] In summary, this steam turbine two-out-of-three shutdown mechanism for online testing features a simple structure, high operational reliability, and strong safety. It solves the problem of turbine shutdown caused by malfunction and solenoid valve failure, ensuring reliable and safe operation of the turbine and improving economic benefits.
