DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The specific embodiments of the utility model are further explained in detail below by comparing with the drawings and describing the embodiments, to help the technical personnel in the field to have more complete, accurate and deep understanding of the inventive concept and technical scheme of the utility model.

[0039] As Figure 2 The utility model discloses a structure as shown in the drawings, to improve the online monitoring system of steam turbine AST shutdown solenoid valve reliability, including AST shutdown solenoid valve 1~4.

[0040] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art and overcome its defects, realize the invention purpose of improving the reliability of steam turbine AST shutdown solenoid valve control, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is:

[0041] As Figure 2The utility model discloses an online monitoring system for improving the reliability of turbine AST shutdown solenoid valve, the quantity of AST shutdown solenoid valve 1~4 is four, and is divided into two groups, and each group has two AST shutdown solenoid valves;During normal operation, the AST shutdown solenoid valve 1~4 is electrified to close the oil discharge port, that is, to block the safety oil discharge channel, thereby establishing safety oil pressure;When a fault occurs, the AST shutdown solenoid valve 1~4 is de-energized to open the oil discharge port, the safety oil main pipe discharges oil, the safety oil pressure is lost, the main steam valve and the high pitch door are closed, and the turbine is stopped.

[0042] Regarding the turbine AST:

[0043] 1. The working principle of turbine AST (AUTO STOP TRIP):

[0044] Turbine AST is a kind of emergency shutdown protection of turbine, which is realized through AST solenoid valve. When a certain parameter of the turbine reaches the shutdown value, the AST solenoid valve is de-energized to open, and the safety oil is discharged, and the turbine valves are quickly closed. In this way, the turbine can be safely stopped under abnormal conditions, preventing accidents from expanding or equipment damage.

[0045] 2. Application scenario of turbine AST:

[0046] Turbine AST is mainly applied to the emergency shutdown protection of turbine, which can quickly cut off the power source of the turbine when abnormal conditions occur, ensuring the safe shutdown of the turbine. AST is widely used in power, chemical, petroleum, metallurgical and other industries.

[0047] 3. Importance of turbine AST in safe operation of turbine:

[0048] Turbine AST is an important part of emergency shutdown protection of turbine, and is an important protective measure to ensure production safety. It is of great significance to ensure production safety and prevent accidents from expanding or equipment damage. Therefore, the role of turbine AST in the safe operation of turbine cannot be ignored.

[0049] In summary, turbine AST is an important part of emergency shutdown protection of turbine, which is realized through AST solenoid valve. The role of turbine AST in the safe operation of turbine cannot be ignored. AST is widely used in power, chemical, petroleum, metallurgical and other industries, and is an important protective measure to ensure production safety.

[0050] The utility model has the advantages of:

[0051] Enhance the safety and reliability of the unit operation, after the improvement, whether in the protection of electromagnetic valve DC power failure, common power grid power and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) at the same time power failure, cable failure and electromagnetic valve failure, can guarantee the safe shutdown of the turbine.

[0052] The two groups of AST shutdown electromagnetic valves are AST first shutdown electromagnetic valve 1 and AST third shutdown electromagnetic valve 3 of the first group, and AST second shutdown electromagnetic valve 2 and AST fourth shutdown electromagnetic valve 4 of the second group.

[0053] The first group of AST shutdown electromagnetic valves and the second group of AST shutdown electromagnetic valves are connected in parallel; the AST first shutdown electromagnetic valve 1 and the AST third shutdown electromagnetic valve 3 are connected in series; and the AST second shutdown electromagnetic valve 2 and the AST fourth shutdown electromagnetic valve 4 are connected in series.

[0054] The four AST electromagnetic valves are arranged in series and parallel relationship. Only when at least one of the AST first shutdown electromagnetic valve 1 and the AST third shutdown electromagnetic valve 3, and at least one of the AST second shutdown electromagnetic valve 2 and the AST fourth shutdown electromagnetic valve 4, two groups of electromagnetic valves are powered off at the same time, the safety oil pressure will be released and the machine will be stopped; the shutdown logic is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0055] When the ASP oil pressure is equal to the AST oil pressure, at least one of the AST first shutdown electromagnetic valve 1 or the AST third shutdown electromagnetic valve 3 is damaged and loses power;

[0056] When the ASP oil pressure is equal to zero, at least one of the AST second shutdown electromagnetic valve 2 or the AST fourth shutdown electromagnetic valve 4 is damaged and loses power, thereby achieving the goal of online monitoring the working state of the electromagnetic valve.

[0057] Two OPC electromagnetic valves are arranged on the safety oil main pipe, which are OPC first electromagnetic valve 5 and OPC second electromagnetic valve 6.

[0058] A one-way valve 10 is arranged on the pipeline connecting the OPC first electromagnetic valve 5 and the OPC second electromagnetic valve 6 with the safety oil main pipe.

[0059] The turbine OPC (Over speed Protect Controller) is a super-speed protection control. Specifically:

[0060] The initial purpose of the super-speed protection control unit OPC is to prevent the turbine generator set from over-speeding, and to avoid the turbine tripping when the unit speed exceeds 110% of the rated speed. In addition, when part of the load is thrown off due to power system failure, it helps to improve the stability of the power system. This is achieved by relying on the following three functions:

[0061] CIV - Close Interceptor Valves

[0062] LDA - Load Drop Anticipation

[0063] OPC - Overspeed Protection Control

[0064] The online monitoring system is provided with a pressure transmitter 9, which is used to monitor the energized state of the AST shutdown electromagnetic valve and the online experimental test function.

[0065] In normal operation, the oil pressure of the pressure transmitter 9 is half of the AST oil pressure.

[0066] The online monitoring system of the utility model is provided with ASP oil pressure (pressure transmitter 9) to monitor the energized state of the AST electromagnetic valve and the online experimental test function. The ASP oil pressure is half of the AST oil pressure in normal operation.

[0067] The online monitoring system is provided with a pressure switch 7. On the safety oil main pipe, a field pressure gauge 8 is arranged.

[0068] In summary, the online monitoring system of the utility model is composed of four AST shutdown electromagnetic valves (1-4), two OPC electromagnetic valves (5, 6), three pressure switches 7, a field pressure gauge 8, a pressure transmitter 9, two one-way valves 10 and corresponding pipelines, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0069] In order to achieve the same invention purpose as the above technical scheme, the utility model also provides the test method of the online monitoring system for improving the reliability of the AST shutdown electromagnetic valve of the steam turbine, which is described above, and the technical scheme is:

[0070] The online monitoring system tests whether the valve core of the AST shutdown electromagnetic valve is stuck by making one of the four AST shutdown electromagnetic valves 1-4 be energized alone through the ASP oil pressure, so as to complete the electromagnetic valve online experimental test function.

[0071] Through the above method, the utility model also has the functions of preventing misoperation and detecting whether the electromagnetic valve is stuck online.

[0072] The utility model has been described exemplarily above in combination with the drawings, obviously, the utility model specific implementation is not limited by the above-mentioned mode, as long as various non-essential improvements of method concept and technical scheme of adopting the utility model or the utility model concept and technical scheme are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, all are within the protection scope of the utility model.
