[0001] The utility model relates to a steam seal technical field, especially a new type of diversion formula steam turbine steam seal structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steam turbine is a high-speed rotating large and precise heat power conversion mechanical. A certain axial and radial gap must be reserved between the static body such as cylinder and diaphragm and the rotating body such as main shaft and blade to avoid the friction and collision of moving and static parts when the unit is working. In order to reduce the steam leakage of steam seal gap, steam seal device must be set to make the steam seal gap in the standard range and tend to the minimum value under the premise of ensuring no friction between moving and static parts, so as to reduce the steam leakage loss between each stage and each cylinder of multi-stage steam turbine and improve the thermal efficiency of the unit.
[0003] However, steam turbine is a high-speed rotating mechanical, and the safety of friction and collision between moving and static parts must be considered while reducing the leakage of through-flow gap (i.e. steam seal leakage). Steam seal is a transition part between moving and static parts of steam turbine, and it is easy to cause direct friction and collision between moving and static parts of steam turbine due to steam seal body failure, which can damage the large shaft of steam turbine, and even cause permanent bending of the large shaft and serious accidents. Therefore, people have been exploring new steam seal structure to solve the dilemma of improving the sealing performance and ensuring the safe operation of the unit. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0020] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that, when the direction description such as upper, lower, front, back, left, right and the like is referred to, the direction or positional relationship shown based on the drawing is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and it is not indicated or implied that the device or element indicated must have a particular direction, a particular direction configuration and operation, and therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0022] In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, installing and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the utility model according to the specific content of the technical scheme.
[0023] Embodiment one: please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 4 The utility model provides a technical scheme: a novel steam seal structure for flow guide type steam turbine, including installation snap ring 1 and steam seal device, the outer surface of installation snap ring 1 is provided with annular clamping groove 2, the inner surface of installation snap ring 1 is fixedly connected with steam seal ring 3, the inside of steam seal ring 3 is fixedly connected with annular high tooth 4 at equal intervals, the inside of steam seal ring 3 is fixedly connected with annular bevel gear 5, four annular cavities 6 are set in the inside of steam seal ring 3;
[0024] Steam seal device includes resistance block 7, four oblique pinion 8 and two transverse pinion 9, resistance block 7 is fixedly connected in the inside of annular cavity 6, four oblique pinion 8 are all fixedly connected in the inside of annular cavity 6, four oblique pinion 8 are all in the state of inclination, two transverse pinion 9 are all fixedly connected in the inside of annular cavity 6, the inside of four annular cavities 6 is provided with the same structure.
[0025] The steam seal structure can carry out flow guide type multistage secondary pressure reduction, the steam seal is improved on the traditional comb tooth steam seal, has the advantages of gap requirement insensitivity, high safety, the steam blocking rate is 35% higher than the traditional comb tooth steam seal under the same gap, reduces the heat consumption of unit, improves the economy of unit, is applicable to any position in steam turbine, and the effect is most obvious at high temperature and high pressure position.Due to the special structure, it has the most prominent "energy-saving long-term effect" among various steam seal forms on the market,
[0026] The diversion type multi-stage pressure reduction steam seal is a safe, efficient and durable new type steam seal which combines the steam seal principle of not reducing the dynamic and static gap and increasing the through-flow area, and the steam seal principle of changing the structure of the annular cavity 6 and changing the steam flow path to improve heat dissipation.
[0027] The design concept is based on the thermodynamic effect that the larger the annular cavity 6 is, the better the sealing effect is. The laced tooth steam seal is expanded to increase the steam contact surface area and reduce the steam leakage.
[0028] Meanwhile, the design concept is based on the friction effect that the rougher the flow channel surface is, the better the sealing effect is. In order to reduce the steam flow speed and increase the steam flow resistance, a plurality of inclined small teeth 8 and transverse small teeth 9 (see Figure 4 ) are arranged in the annular cavity 6 to consume the kinetic energy of the high-speed steam flow which is forced into the annular cavity 6 due to inertia, so that the steam flow is fully heat-dissipated in the annular cavity 6. The inclined small teeth 8 in the annular cavity 6 form a certain angle of inclination to increase the steam resistance.
[0029] The steam flow convection principle is also used to offset the principle. Since the steam flow out of the annular cavity 6 is heat-dissipated through the annular cavity 6, the steam density is increased and the temperature is reduced. The jetted steam flow and the inlet steam flow of the annular inclined teeth 5 form a 90-degree angle to further increase the steam resistance.
[0030] Embodiment two: please refer to Figure 2 ;
[0031] The inside of the steam seal ring 3 is fixedly connected with four second high teeth 10 at equal intervals, and the inside of the steam seal ring 3 is fixedly connected with second inclined teeth 11.
[0032] The diversion type inclined side tooth steam seal is a modified version of the laced tooth steam seal, which inherits the safe and reliable characteristics of the laced tooth steam seal. In terms of economy, the low teeth are changed to inclined teeth, and the high teeth have an inclination angle. Compared with the laced tooth steam seal, the steam resistance is increased by about 6% under the same gap condition. The diversion type inclined side tooth steam seal is suitable for any position in the steam turbine and is often used in combination with the diversion type multi-stage pressure reduction steam seal.
[0033] Embodiment three: please refer to Figure 3 ;
[0034] The inside of the steam seal ring 3 is fixedly connected with annular dense teeth 12 at equal intervals.
[0035] The diversion type dense tooth steam seal increases the number of teeth based on the laced tooth steam seal, and the steam resistance effect is better than that of the laced tooth steam seal. The diversion type dense tooth steam seal can be applied to any position of the steam turbine steam seal system, and the dense and numerous steam seal teeth can better achieve the effect of flow disturbance. At the same time, due to the high water repellency, the diversion type dense tooth steam seal is often used in the low-pressure cylinder. The diversion type dense tooth steam seal is often used in combination with the diversion type multi-stage pressure reduction steam seal.
[0036] The utility model embodiment has been explained in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, still can make various changes in the knowledge range of ordinary skill in the art who has possessed under the premise of not departing from the utility model tenet.
