The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the scope of the present application.

[0029] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-6 The present application provides a turbine power generation device cooling structure, which comprises:

[0032] Turbine rotor 5 is used to drive the generator to generate electricity;

[0033] The generator 7 has at least one heat dissipation channel 71 running through it along its axial direction.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the turbine rotor 5 has a first blade group 51 and a second blade group 52. The first blade group 51 is installed on the outer periphery of the second blade group 52, and the second blade group 52 is evenly installed on the outer periphery of the support plate 54. A separating ring 53 is installed on the outer periphery of the second blade group 52 to separate the first blade group 51 and the second blade group 52. The turbine power generation device cooling structure is used in the turbine power generation device, mainly for cooling and / or heat insulation of the generator, ensuring the normal operation of the generator, and maximizing the overall efficiency of the power generation device. The turbine power generation device includes a gas generator, and the generator 7 is installed at the exhaust end of the gas generator, so it is necessary to ensure the operating temperature of the generator 7. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator does work on the first blade group 51 of the turbine rotor 5, causing the turbine rotor 5 to rotate as a whole. The rotation of the second blade group 52 causes the cooling airflow to flow into the first guide section 6. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas downstream of the first blade group 51 and the cooling airflow formed by the work done by the second blade group 52 are sent downstream through the flow channel of the first guide section 6. The turbine rotor 5 has a first blade group 51 connected to a first air intake channel 31, and a second blade group 52 connected to a second air intake channel 32. The first air intake channel 31 introduces high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator into the first blade group 51, and the second air intake channel 32 introduces low-temperature gas into the second blade group 52. Here, low-temperature gas refers to air introduced from outside the turbine power generation device.

[0035] Firstly, the generator 7 is effectively cooled by providing at least one heat dissipation channel 71 running axially through the generator 7. There may be multiple heat dissipation channels 71. In some embodiments, the heat dissipation channel 71 is formed in an annular channel between the generator stator 73 and the generator rotor 72, wherein there is a gap between the generator stator 73 and the generator rotor 72, forming a gas flow channel that enters from one end of the generator 7 and exits from the other end, thus forming a cooling channel.

[0036] In some embodiments, the shaft 12 of the generator 7 is further provided with an air extraction impeller 11, which can be arranged on the shaft 12 of the generator 7 close to the turbine rotor 5, or more preferably, the air extraction impeller 11 is arranged on the shaft 12 of the generator 7 away from the turbine rotor 5, i.e. the air extraction impeller 11 is arranged at the tail of the generator 7 (the end of the heat dissipation flow channel 71 / exhaust end). The air extraction impeller 11 can be arranged in the generator shell, or the generator shell can be provided with an impeller cover 13 around the periphery of the impeller cover 13, which is integrated with the generator shell / first sleeve or is arranged on the generator shell / first sleeve. The impeller cover 13 should be cylindrical so that the airflow flows along the axial direction thereof.

[0037] In some embodiments, the generator 7 is provided with a first sleeve 8, which forms a fluid passage with the shell of the generator 7. The first sleeve 8 is further provided with a second sleeve 9, which forms a fluid passage along the axial direction of the generator 7 with the first sleeve 8. The fluid passage between the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 8 communicates with the flow channel where the second blade group 52 is arranged, so that the cooling gas delivered by the second blade group 52 flows into the fluid passage between the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 8, thereby isolating the generator 7 from the high-temperature exhaust gas generated by the gas generator. The first sleeve 8 has two flow channel openings 81 for liquid inlet and liquid outlet, respectively, which are arranged on the first sleeve 8, as shown in Figure 5

[0038] ​In some embodiments, the heat dissipation flow channel 71 is connected to the outside of the turbine generator through a third flow channel 63 near one side of the turbine rotor, the third flow channel 63 is arranged on the first flow guide part 6, the third flow channel 63 is integrated with the first flow guide part 6, and the third flow channel 63 is connected to the outside of the turbine generator through the high-temperature gas flow channel of the first flow guide part 6. A first flow guide part 6 is further arranged between the turbine rotor 5 and the generator 7, the first flow guide part 6 includes a first flow channel 61 and a second flow channel 62 arranged in the axial direction thereof, the first flow channel 61 is arranged on the outer periphery of the second flow channel 62, and the second flow channel 62 is connected to the fluid passage between the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 8. Specifically, the first flow guide part 6 is generally in a cylindrical structure with a central axis, the first flow channel 61 and the second flow channel 62 can be arranged in an annular structure around the axis of the first flow guide part 6, the high-temperature gas flow channel of the first flow guide part 6 is the first flow channel 61, and the second flow channel 62 is connected to the flow channel where the second blade group 52 is arranged. The second flow channel 62 conveys low-temperature gas, thereby insulating the high-temperature gas conveyed by the first flow channel 61, and the first flow channel 61 and the second flow channel 62 are designed in the axial direction of the first flow guide part 6. In addition to providing power for the generator 7 to generate electricity, the first flow channel 61 and the second flow channel 62 can also utilize the excess high-temperature gas to generate backward thrust power, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the power device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the fluid passage between the first sleeve 8 and the shell of the generator is connected with a fuel pipe 10 at the inlet and outlet thereof, and the fuel pipe 10 passes through the third flow channel 63 and is connected to the outside. The fluid passage formed between the first sleeve 8 and the shell of the generator can cover the outer cylindrical surface of the generator 7, thereby maximizing the heat exchange area and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, fuel is conveyed through the fluid passage between the first sleeve 8 and the shell of the generator 7, and the generator 7 is cooled by the fuel, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel by utilizing heat exchange to increase the temperature of the fuel. By arranging the fuel pipe 10 to pass through the third flow channel 63, the influence of the high-temperature gas discharged from the first flow channel 61 can be avoided, and the compactness of the overall structure of the turbine generator can be improved.

[0040] In some embodiments, the high-temperature gas directly heats the pipe wall of the third flow channel 63, and therefore, in order to reduce the influence of the high-temperature gas, the temperature rise problem of the third flow channel 63 needs to be solved, and an implementation manner that can be adopted is that a fourth flow channel 631 in communication with a cooling flow channel is formed in the pipe wall of the third flow channel 63, and the fourth flow channel 631 is in communication with the outside of the first flow guide part 6, and therefore, by forming the fourth flow channel 631 in the pipe wall of the third flow channel 63, the heat shielding effect of the high-temperature gas flow in the third flow channel 61 can be achieved, and the temperature of the gas flow in the third flow channel 63 is prevented from being too high. In order to facilitate the flow of the gas flow in the fourth flow channel 631, a drainage hole 632 is arranged on the pipe wall of the third flow channel 63, and a small amount of gas can be discharged through the drainage hole 632, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , in the utility model, the high-temperature gas discharged from the gas generator works on the first vane group 51 and is discharged from the first flow channel 61, and this fluid route is a high-temperature gas flow path 001; in the utility model, the second vane group 52 works on the gas, and low-temperature gas is introduced to pressurize the gas and transport the gas to the second flow channel 62 and further to the fluid passage formed between the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 8, and then the gas is discharged, and this flow channel is a first cooling flow path 002; in the utility model, the third flow channel 63 introduces air from the outside of the turbine generator device, passes through the inside of the generator 7 and is discharged through the air extraction impeller 11, and this is a second cooling flow path 003; in the utility model, oil is introduced from one side through the oil pipeline 10, is transported to the oil discharge end of the other oil pipeline 10 through the fluid passage between the first sleeve 8 and the shell of the generator 7 and around the shell of the generator, and this is a third cooling flow path 004. The flow route of the medium in the inside of the generator 7 of the third cooling flow path 004 is as shown in Figure 6 .

[0042] The first flow guide part 6, the oil pipeline 10 and the third flow channel 63 are in an integral structure and can be integrally formed through 3D printing, so that the time and assembly process difficulty of parts are greatly reduced, and the overall weight is also reduced.

[0043] In some embodiments, the turbine rotor 5 and the generator 7 of the utility model are installed by using self-lubricating ceramic bearings, so that the lubrication system can be reduced, and the structure is more simple and reliable.

[0044] Therefore, the utility model discloses through the innovative structure, through the first cooling flow path 002 between the second sleeve 9 with the first sleeve 8 can play to the high temperature fuel gas flow path 001 of high temperature fuel gas that discharges is isolated to the heat in the generator is discharged through the second cooling flow path 003, to the generator 7 can make sustained efficient operation and not over temperature. Through the third cooling flow path 004 of the first sleeve 8 with the generator 7 shell can improve the temperature of fuel oil, further cool the generator 7, the heated fuel oil can also improve the efficiency when burning. Compared with the mode of discharging high temperature fuel gas through the side exhaust type currently, the mode of discharging fuel gas generator of the utility model can provide additional thrust for the power system, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the power device.

[0045] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the preferred embodiment has been disclosed as above, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-mentioned technical content without departing from the scope of the present application, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiment, which does not depart from the technical scheme of the present application, are still within the scope of the present application.
