The bottom end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the turbine steam chamber 3. Through the connection pipe 4, the steam transported from the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2 can be discharged into the inner cavity of the turbine steam chamber 3, and at the same time, the steam acts on the surface of the rotor impeller 5, thereby generating thrust on the rotor impeller 5. The inner cavity of the steam chamber 3 is provided with multiple rotor impellers 5 fixedly connected to the surface of the steam turbine rotor. The inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2 is fixedly connected with an inner liner pipe 6. The inner cavity of the inner liner pipe 6 is provided with a flow control component 7. The flow control component 7 includes a sliding sleeve 71 slidably connected to the inner cavity of the inner liner pipe 6. Multiple gas channels 72 are distributed in a ring at the bottom of the surface of the sliding sleeve 71. A conical pressure plate 73 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve 71. A sealing pressure element 74 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conical pressure plate 73. A sealing kit 75 adapted to the sealing pressure element 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the regulating valve pipe 2. The front side of the regulating valve pipe 2 is provided with A drive assembly 8 includes a rotating shaft 81 extending from the front side of the self-regulating valve tube 2 to the rear side of the regulating valve tube 2. A swing element 82 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 81. Two connecting plates 83 are rotatably connected to the top of the sliding sleeve 71, and the top ends of both connecting plates 83 are rotatably connected to the swing element 82. The surface of the rotating shaft 81 is rotatably connected to the regulating valve tube 2 through a sealing bushing. A stepper motor 84 is fixedly installed at the right end of the front side of the regulating valve tube 2. A worm gear 85 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 81 extending to the front side of the regulating valve tube 2. A worm is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 84. 86. The worm 86 meshes with the worm wheel 85. Through the setting of the drive assembly 8, driven by the stepper motor 84 and with the cooperation of the worm wheel 85 and the worm 86, the rotating shaft 81 can be driven to rotate, and the swinging component 82 can be driven to rotate, so that the swinging component 82 can lift or push the connecting plate 83, thereby allowing the conical pressure plate 73 to move vertically up and down in the inner cavity of the inner liner tube 6, thereby closing or opening the bottom of the regulating valve tube 2 to control the flow of gas. The front side of the regulating valve tube 2 is fixedly connected to the gearbox 9, and the rotating shaft 81 and the worm 86 are rotatably connected to the gearbox 9.

[0023] Working Principle: In use, the user supplies steam into the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2 through the main steam supply pipe 1. After entering the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2, the gas exits through the inner cavity of the steam passage 72 into the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 4, and passes through the turbine nozzle blades (turbine stationary blades), acting on the surface of the rotor impeller 5. This causes the rotor impeller 5 to rotate under thrust, which in turn drives the turbine rotor to rotate. When distributing steam to the turbine, the stepper motor 84 is activated, driving the worm gear 86 to rotate within the gearbox 9. Under the meshing transmission of the worm gear 86 and the worm wheel 85, the rotating shaft 81 rotates within the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2, driving the oscillating component 82 to rotate. This causes the oscillating component 82 to rotate against the connecting plate 8. 3. Pushing down causes the sliding sleeve 71 to slide the conical pressure plate 73 downwards. At this time, part of the space in the gas passage 72 is covered by the inner wall of the regulating valve pipe 2, reducing the gas flow rate and thus achieving the purpose of controlling the gas flow rate. After the swinging part 82 rotates to the position, the connecting plate 83 drives the sliding sleeve 71 to move down to the maximum depth. At this time, the conical pressure plate 73 fits against the inner wall of the regulating valve pipe 2, and the sealing pressure part 74 and the sealing kit 75 are squeezed and fitted together, completely sealing the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2 and stopping the current regulating valve pipe 2 from supplying gas to the inner cavity of the steam chamber 3 of the turbine. The user can adjust the gas flow rate of the inner cavity of a single regulating valve pipe 2 according to the usage requirements, and can also open or completely close a single regulating valve pipe 2.

[0024] In summary, this steam turbine steam distribution nozzle regulating structure, through the combined use of the main steam supply pipeline 1, regulating valve pipe 2, and connecting pipe 4, delivers steam to the inner cavity of the steam chamber 3 of the steam turbine. The steam is then delivered to the surface of the rotor impeller 5 via the steam turbine nozzle blades and the turbine stationary blades, causing the rotor impeller 5 to drive the steam turbine rotor to rotate. Simultaneously, with the combined use of the control component 7 and the drive component 8, the steam flow state and flow rate in the inner cavity of the regulating valve pipe 2 can be controlled, thus achieving the purpose of adjustable steam distribution state and controllable steam distribution flow rate.
