[0002] A hydraulic turbine is a power machine that converts the energy of water flow into rotational mechanical energy. It is used for irrigation and to drive grain processing equipment. Modern hydraulic turbines are mostly installed in hydropower stations to drive generators. In a hydropower station, water from an upstream reservoir is directed through a diversion pipe to the turbine, which rotates the turbine runner, driving the generator to generate electricity. The water, which has completed its work, is then discharged downstream through a tailwater pipe. The runner is a device used to guide water. The turbine's water guide mechanism is one of the core components of a hydro-generator set. It controls the direction and amount of water flow entering the unit during operation and is crucial to the stability and safety of the entire unit.

The disadvantage of this utility model is that the guide impeller is in a fixed state, and the guide impeller will be deformed under the impact of long-term large-flow water. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the problem in the prior art that the angle of the rotor blades cannot be adjusted according to the water flow rate, and provides an adjustable turbine runner whose rotor blades can rotate under the impact of large flow water.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A kind of adjustable water turbine runner comprises a working box and a runner component, the working box is a hollow structure, a water inlet is provided on one side of the working box, a water outlet is provided on the other side of the working box, a hole groove is provided on the top of the working box, the runner component is located inside the working box, the runner component comprises a main shaft, a connecting plate and a rotor blade, the main shaft is installed in the hole groove, the main shaft is provided with a first convex ring, the first convex ring is connected to the side wall of the main shaft, one end of the connecting plate is connected to the outer side wall of the first convex ring, the connecting plate is provided with a strip hole, the rotor blade is placed in the strip hole, springs are provided on the left and right sides of the rotor blade, the spring is located in the strip hole, one end of the spring is connected to the rotor blade, and the other end of the spring is connected to the connecting plate.

[0007] The connecting plate limits the position of the rotor blades, and springs are installed on both sides of the rotor blades. When a large water flow impacts the rotor blades, the springs can adjust the rotor blades to a position in the same direction as the water flow. This can reduce the impact area of ​​the water flow on the rotor blades and buffer the impact of the water flow on the rotor blades, preventing the rotor blades from deforming under the impact of large flow rates. This design realizes the rotation function of the rotor blades.

[0008] Preferably, the work box is equipped with a first bearing, located within the slot. One end of the main shaft is connected to the external generator via the first bearing. The first bearing reduces friction between the main shaft and the work box. This design increases the service life of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the workbox has an arc groove at its bottom end, which houses a second bearing located within the groove. The other end of the spindle has an arc-shaped cross-section, which is located within the groove and connected to the workbox via the second bearing. The second bearing reduces friction between the spindle and the workbox, while the arc-shaped cross-section of the other end of the spindle also reduces friction. This design increases the service life of the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the main shaft is further provided with a second convex ring, which is connected to the side wall of the main shaft and is located below the first convex ring. The second convex ring is provided with a limit seat and a rotating arm. The limit seat is located at the top of the second convex ring, one side of the limit seat is connected to the second convex ring, and the other side of the limit seat is connected to one end of the rotating arm via a rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rotor blade. The limit seat limits the position of the rotor blade, so that the rotor blade is perpendicular to the second convex ring, which can increase the contact area between the water flow and the rotor blade and improve the working efficiency of the equipment. The rotating arm can synchronously adjust the position of the rotor blade, thereby improving the stability of the equipment. This design improves the stability of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, a buffer pad is provided on the outer side wall of the rotor blade, connected to the rotor blade, and the rotor blade has an arc-shaped cross-section. The buffer pad is used to protect the rotor blade from damage caused by impurities such as stones in the water flow. This device increases the service life of the device.

[0012] Preferably, the other end of the connecting plate is flat, and the plane on which the other end of the connecting plate lies is tangent to the rotation trajectory of the rotor blade. The shape of the cutout conforms to the flow direction of the water flow, protecting the edge of the connecting plate from impact by the water flow. This design improves the stability of the device.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: realizing the rotatable function of the rotor blades and improving the stability of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
