[0002] As an energy recovery device, hydraulic turbines can recycle excess pressure from process liquids, converting it into mechanical energy to drive mechanical equipment and ultimately save energy. With the continued advancement of energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives, more and more users are choosing to utilize hydraulic turbines to recover excess pressure, achieving significant economic benefits.
[0003] However, in traditional hydraulic turbine designs, the guide vanes are typically fixed, making it impossible to adjust the fluid path according to actual needs. When plant process conditions change, such as with upgrades to refinery hydrogenation units, coal chemical low-temperature methanol washing units, and ammonia synthesis units, the flow rate of the medium requiring energy recovery also increases. When this flow rate increases to a certain level, the hydraulic turbine becomes clogged, and energy recovery stops increasing, impacting turbine efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to address this technical issue. Summary of the Invention

The guide vane assembly also forms a plurality of guide vane portions arranged concentrically around the impeller. The guide vane portions have the same spacing. The liquid inlet flow channel is connected to the liquid inlet of the impeller through the spacing between adjacent guide vane portions. The guide vane assembly is used to allow the medium in the liquid inlet flow channel to impact the blades in the impeller in the flow direction defined by the guide vane portions.
[0012] Optionally, the guide vane assembly further comprises a front end cover portion and a rear end cover portion arranged in a spaced manner, and the guide vane portion is arranged between the front end cover portion and the rear end cover portion.
[0013] The front end cover portion is in abutment with the housing, and the rear end cover portion is in abutment with the pump cover.
[0014] Optionally, the guide vane assembly further comprises a fastening bolt.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a variable guide vane radial split single-stage double support hydraulic turbine provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described. The variable guide vane radial split single-stage double support hydraulic turbine of the present application comprises a shell 101, a pump cover 103, an impeller 105, a main shaft 106, a bearing body 107 and a guide vane assembly 108. Among them:
[0036] The shell 101 forms the liquid inlet flow channel 102; the pump cover 103 is detachably connected to the shell 101 and cooperates with the shell 101 to form the containing cavity 104; the impeller 105 is arranged in the containing cavity 104 and can rotate in the containing cavity 104; the main shaft 106 is coaxially connected with the impeller 105 and penetrates through the shell 101 and the pump cover 103; the bearing body 107 coaxially sleeves the first and second ends of the main shaft 106 and is used to support the main shaft 106; the guide vane assembly 108 is arranged in the containing cavity 104 and is detachably connected with the shell 101, and the guide vane assembly 108 further forms a plurality of guide vane portions 109 arranged concentrically around the impeller 105, the guide vane portions 109 have the same interval, and the liquid inlet flow channel 102 is communicated with the liquid inlet port 1051 of the impeller 105 through the interval between the adjacent guide vane portions 109, and the guide vane assembly 108 is used to make the medium in the liquid inlet flow channel 102 impact the blades in the impeller 105 in the flow direction defined by the guide vane portions 109.
[0037] In the embodiment, after the liquid medium passes through the interval between the adjacent guide vane portions 109 and enters the liquid inlet port 1051 of the impeller 105, the medium impacts the blades in the impeller 105 in the flow direction defined by the guide vane portions 109, which drives the impeller 105 to rotate and further drives the main shaft 106 to rotate, thereby completing the recovery of energy in the liquid, and finally the medium after work is discharged from the liquid outlet 105 of the impeller 105 and is finally discharged from the discharge port (not shown) arranged on the shell 101. In actual production, the shape of the guide vane portion 109 can be set as the guide flow shape commonly used in the art to reduce the liquid flow resistance and facilitate the guide flow. In addition, since the guide vane portions 109 are uniformly distributed around the impeller 105, the balance of the radial force of the impeller 105 can be achieved, so that the outer shell 101 can adopt a single flow channel design, which is conducive to reducing the casting difficulty and cost of the variable guide vane radial split single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine in the embodiment. Here, the structure of the impeller 105 can adopt the impeller structure technology of the existing centrifugal pump, that is, it can be understood that the liquid inlet port 1051 of the impeller 105 in the application is the throw-out port of the impeller 105 when used in the centrifugal pump, and the liquid outlet 1052 of the impeller 105 in the application is the suction port of the impeller 105 when used in the centrifugal pump; the bearing body 107 can also adopt the existing centrifugal pump technology, that is, the bearing body 107 connected to the first and second ends of the main shaft 106 can form a stable support for the main shaft 106, which will not be described here.
[0038] According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, in the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split provided in the embodiment, the liquid inlet flow channel 102 arranged on the shell 101 needs to be communicated with the liquid inlet 1051 of the impeller 105 through the intervals between the adjacent guide vane portions 109 of the guide vane assembly 108. Since the pump cover 103 and the guide vane assembly 108 are detachably connected to the shell 101, when the medium flow changes due to the change of the device process condition, the pump cover 103 can be removed from the shell 101 and the containing cavity 104 can be opened to replace the guide vane assembly 108, so that different guide vane assemblies 108 can be well adapted to different process conditions, which is beneficial to the maximum energy recovery of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment under different conditions, which is much better than the prior art.
[0039] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The guide vane assembly 108 further comprises a front end cover portion 110 and a rear end cover portion 111 arranged at intervals, and the guide vane portions 109 are arranged between the front end cover portion 110 and the rear end cover portion 111; the front end cover portion 110 abuts against the shell 101, and the rear end cover portion 111 abuts against the pump cover 103. According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, the front end cover portion 110 abutting against the shell 101 and the rear end cover portion 111 abutting against the pump cover 103 can make the guide vane portions 109 arranged between the front end cover portion 110 and the rear end cover portion 111 have better structural stability during the liquid energy recovery process, which is beneficial to further improve the energy recovery efficiency of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment.
[0040] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The guide vane assembly 108 further comprises a fastening bolt 112; the fastening bolt 112 passes through the rear end cover portion 111, the guide vane portion 109 and the front end cover portion 110 in sequence and is threadedly connected with the shell 101. According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, the fastening bolt 112 passing through the rear end cover portion 111, the guide vane portion 109 and the front end cover portion 110 in sequence not only facilitates the disassembly of the guide vane assembly 108, but also firmly fastens the rear end cover portion 111, the guide vane portion 109 and the front end cover portion 110 on the shell 101 without affecting the fluid passing between the guide vane portions 109, which is beneficial to further improve the energy recovery efficiency of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment.
[0041] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4, the guide vane part 109 and the front end cover part 110 are arranged as an integral structure, and the rear end cover part 111 is detachably connected with the guide vane part 109. According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, the detachable connection between the rear end cover part 111 and the guide vane part 109 can make the rear end cover part 111 be commonly used for guide vane assemblies 108 of different models, which not only helps to improve the replacement efficiency of the guide vane assembly 108 of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment, but also can significantly reduce the production cost of multiple guide vane assemblies 108. In addition, the front end cover part 110 arranged as an integral structure with the guide vane part 109 can well ensure that the interval distance between adjacent guide vane parts 109 and the deflection angle of the guide vane part 109 relative to the axis direction of the front end cover part 110 meet the preset target value, so as to more effectively guide the medium, and avoid leakage between the guide vane part 109 and the front end cover part 110, which helps to further improve the energy recovery efficiency of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment.
[0042] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the shell 101 forms first and second positioning surfaces 113 and 114 arranged at an angle; the front end cover part 110 is formed in a shape adapted to the included angle between the first and second positioning surfaces 113 and 114 and abuts against the first and second positioning surfaces 113 and 114. According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, the first and second positioning surfaces 113 and 114 not only can be used as the positioning structure of the front end cover part 110 to quickly install the guide vane assembly 108 in place, but also can ensure that the front end cover part 110 abutting on the first and second positioning surfaces 113 and 114 maintains better installation position stability, which helps to further improve the energy recovery efficiency of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment.

According to the above structure provided in the embodiment, since the front end cover part 110 and the rear end cover part 111 both abut against the first positioning surface 113, and since the liquid inlet flow passage 102 is arranged between the front end cover part 110 and the rear end cover part 111 close to the port of the accommodating cavity 104, a better sealing connection effect can be formed between the guide vane assembly 108 and the shell 101 and the liquid medium can be effectively prevented from escaping between the guide vane assembly 108 and the shell 101, which helps to further improve the energy recovery efficiency of the single-stage double-support hydraulic turbine with variable guide vane radial split in the embodiment.
[0044] In another embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1 to 4 A sealing ring 115 is arranged between the guide vane assembly 108 and the first positioning surface 113 and / or between the guide vane assembly 108 and the second positioning surface 114.
