[0032] The embodiment provides a steam turbine feed pump LVDT device, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, it comprises an LVDT device 1 arranged on one side of the feed pump 100 and a fixed assembly 2 arranged on the outer circle of the valve rod 101 of the feed pump 100, the fixed assembly 2 is used for being connected with the valve rod 101, the side edge of the fixed assembly 2 is connected with a vertical plate 3, the vertical plate 3 is connected with one end of a long plate 4, the other end of the long plate 4 is connected with an end plate 5, the end plate 5 is provided with a second threaded hole 51, a connecting bolt 52 is inserted into the second threaded hole 51, a universal joint 53 is sleeved on the connecting bolt 52, and the lower end of the universal joint 53 is connected with a feedback rod 11 of the LVDT device 1.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the LVDT device 1 is arranged at the side of the feed water pump 100, the fixed assembly 2 is connected with the outer ring of the valve rod 101 of the feed water pump 100, the side of the fixed assembly 2 is connected with the vertical plate 3, the vertical plate 3 is connected with one end of the long plate 4, the second threaded hole 51 is formed in the end plate 5, the connecting bolt 52 is inserted into the second threaded hole 51, the universal joint 53 is sleeved on the connecting bolt 52, and the lower end of the universal joint 53 is connected with the feedback rod 11 of the LVDT device 1. When the valve rod 101 of the water pump is operated to move up and down, the fixed assembly 2 of the outer ring of the valve rod 101 is driven to move up and down, the up-down movement range of the fixed assembly 2 is transmitted to the connecting bolt 52 inserted into the second threaded hole 51 of the end plate 5 through the vertical plate 3 and the long plate 4, the connecting bolt 52 is driven to move up and down, the universal joint 53 is sleeved on the connecting bolt 52, the lower end of the universal joint 53 is connected with the feedback rod 11 of the LVDT device 1, the connecting bolt 52 drives the feedback rod 11 to move up and down, the LVDT device 1 is used for measuring the displacement of the feedback rod 11 moving up and down, thereby realizing monitoring of the position information of the valve rod 101, helping the operator to understand the state of the feed water pump 100, and making necessary adjustment on the feed water pump 100 according to the actual situation, so as to ensure the stable operation of the steam turbine. In addition, the long plate 4 has a long plate body, and optionally, the length of the long plate 4 is greater than 2 times the length of the end plate 5. When the long plate 4 is subjected to the driving force of the fixed assembly 2 moving up and down, the plate body of the long plate 4 will be elastically vibrated, and the up-down movement range signal of the valve rod 101 is amplified. Further, the valve rod 101 of the water pump will be deflected to a certain extent in the horizontal direction under the impact of the water flow, so that the feedback rod 11 is subjected to a deflection stress, and the feedback rod 11 is prone to be broken due to the long-term deflection stress.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the lower end surface of the long plate 4 is connected with a baffle plate 41.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the water pump 100 will cause vibration of the valve rod 101 during operation, and then cause vibration displacement of the universal joint 53, and then fall off from the insertion end of the connecting bolt 52, and the insertion end of the connecting bolt 52 is abutted with the baffle plate 41, which can prevent the universal joint 53 from falling off from the insertion end of the connecting bolt 52 due to vibration displacement.
