Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary tools for disassembling vertical high-temperature double-headed bolts for steam turbines, specifically a device for preventing the falling off of steam turbine nuts during disassembly. Background Technology
[0002] A steam turbine, also known as a steam engine, is a rotary steam power unit. High-temperature, high-pressure steam passes through a fixed nozzle, becomes an accelerated airflow, and is then injected onto blades, causing a rotor equipped with rows of blades to rotate and perform work. Steam turbines are the main equipment in modern thermal power plants and are also used in the metallurgical industry, chemical industry, and ship propulsion systems.
[0003] Currently, steam turbines all utilize high-temperature, high-pressure steam as their power source. The steam temperature is generally above 380℃, therefore, all steam turbine fastening bolts are high-temperature bolts. According to maintenance guidelines, steam turbines need to undergo a Class A overhaul every 5-7 years to ensure equipment safety and economy. During a Class A overhaul, the bolt holes on the horizontal split surfaces of the upper and lower cylinders of the high- and intermediate-pressure outer and inner cylinders of the steam turbine are designed as through holes. The bolts are high-temperature double-ended bolts, with high-temperature nuts installed at both the top and bottom. When disassembling these bolts, the upper nut is easier to remove, so disassembly is generally done by removing the upper nut. This creates a problem: when removing the upper nut, the double-ended bolt and the bottom nut experience free fall due to gravity and lack of protection.
[0004] To address this issue, a special anti-fall device was designed for the disassembly of high-temperature nuts on steam turbines, which prevents the risk of bolts and nuts falling off when disassembling vertical high-temperature double-ended screws. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turbine nut removal anti-fall device with reasonable and simple structural design, convenient operation, low processing and manufacturing cost, which can suspend the chain and connect the anti-fall plate to the chain from the bottom of the double-headed bolt. It can effectively prevent the risk of bolts and nuts falling due to free fall when disassembling vertical high-temperature double-headed bolts, making it safer and more reliable, ensuring the safety of operators, and allowing for arbitrary height adjustment, making operation more flexible and applicable to a wide range of applications.
[0006] This utility model discloses a turbine nut removal and anti-fall device, including a lifting rod, a first mounting hole on the bottom surface of the lifting rod, a first hanging rod fixedly installed in the first mounting hole, and a first hook hanging on the first hanging rod; an anti-fall plate is provided below the lifting rod.
[0007] The lifting rod and the first hook on its bottom surface are designed to suspend a chain during the disassembly of the vertically mounted high-temperature double-ended screw of the steam turbine. The chain is threaded through the dustproof hole of the high-temperature nut and the heating hole of the high-temperature double-ended screw, allowing for convenient suspension and facilitating subsequent disassembly of the high-temperature double-ended screw by operators. This saves time and effort, improves operational convenience, and enhances safety. The anti-fall plate catches the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut from falling during disassembly, preventing them from falling due to free fall and further ensuring the safety of the operator's working environment.
[0008] The surface of the anti-fall disc is provided with a second mounting hole, and a second hanging rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second mounting hole. A second hook is provided on the second hanging rod.
[0009] The second mounting hole is located at the center of the anti-fall plate.
[0010] The lifting rod and the first hook on its bottom surface are designed to suspend a chain during disassembly of the vertically installed high-temperature double-ended screw of the steam turbine. The chain is inserted through the dustproof hole of the high-temperature nut and the heating hole of the high-temperature double-ended screw, allowing for convenient suspension. An anti-fall plate is then connected to the chain from the bottom of the high-temperature double-ended screw. The chain length is adjusted according to the length of the high-temperature double-ended screw, and the anti-fall plate can move freely with the chain as needed by the operator, better supporting the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut. This makes operation more flexible and prevents the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut from falling due to free fall during disassembly, further improving operational safety and ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0011] The length of the lifting rod is greater than the diameter of the anti-fall plate.
[0012] The length of the lifting rod is greater than the diameter of the anti-fall plate, which makes the lifting of the lifting rod more stable and improves the stability of the entire device. Since the high-temperature double-ended bolts and nuts fall and concentrate at one point, the anti-fall plate is designed in accordance with the principle of gravity of falling objects, making it more targeted.
[0013] The width of the second hanging rod is greater than the width of the first hanging rod, and the arc of the contact point between the first hook and the first hanging rod is less than the arc of the contact point between the second hook and the second hanging rod.
[0014] The curvature of the contact point between the first hook and the first hanging rod is set to be smaller than the curvature of the contact point between the second hook and the second hanging rod. Since the width of the second hanging rod is greater than the width of the first hanging rod, the first hook and the first hanging rod can make a closer contact, and the second hook and the second hanging rod can make a closer contact, thus fully ensuring the safety of the suspension.
[0015] The first hook is connected to the top of the chain, which is installed inside a high-temperature double-ended screw. The high-temperature double-ended screw has a bolt heating hole, and the chain is located inside the bolt heating hole. Nuts are fixedly installed at both ends of the high-temperature double-ended screw, and the two ends of the chain extend out of the ends of the high-temperature double-ended screw. The bottom end of the chain is connected to a second hook.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1) The lifting rod and the first hook on the bottom of the lifting rod are installed to suspend the chain when disassembling the high-temperature double-ended screw installed vertically on the turbine. The chain is inserted through the dustproof hole of the high-temperature nut and the heating hole of the high-temperature double-ended screw, which can conveniently suspend the chain and facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the high-temperature double-ended screw by the operator, saving time and effort, improving the convenience of operation, and improving safety. The anti-fall plate can catch the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut from falling during the disassembly of the high-temperature double-ended screw, and prevent the double-ended screw and nut from falling due to free fall when disassembling the vertical high-temperature double-ended screw, further ensuring the safety of the operator's working environment.
[0018] 2) The lifting rod and the first hook on the bottom of the lifting rod are used to suspend the chain when disassembling the high-temperature double-ended screw installed vertically on the turbine. The chain is inserted through the dust hole of the high-temperature nut and the heating hole of the high-temperature double-ended screw, which can easily suspend the chain. Then, the anti-fall plate is connected to the chain from the bottom of the high-temperature double-ended screw. The length of the chain is adjusted according to the length of the high-temperature double-ended screw. The anti-fall plate can be moved freely with the chain according to the needs of the operator, so as to better support the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut. The operation is more flexible and can prevent the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut from falling due to free fall during disassembly, further improving the safety performance of the operation and fully ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0019] 3) The length of the lifting rod is greater than the diameter of the anti-fall plate, which makes the lifting of the lifting rod more stable and improves the stability of the entire device. Since the high-temperature double-ended screw and nut fall at the same point, the anti-fall plate is designed in accordance with the principle of gravity of falling objects and is more targeted.
[0020] 4) This device features a reasonable and simple structural design, convenient operation, low manufacturing cost, and the ability to suspend the chain. The anti-fall disc is connected to the chain from the bottom of the high-temperature double-ended screw, effectively preventing the screw and nut from falling during disassembly of the vertical high-temperature double-ended screw. This makes it safer and more reliable, ensuring operator safety. The height can be adjusted arbitrarily, making operation more flexible and applicable to a wide range of situations. The device's structure includes a lifting rod, chain, and anti-fall disc, which are combined and installed on the vertical high-temperature double-ended screw to be disassembled. This prevents the high-temperature double-ended screw and bottom nut from falling after the upper nut loosens during disassembly. Simultaneously, it can be measured, processed, and adjusted according to the high-temperature double-ended screw to be disassembled, meeting the disassembly process requirements of various steam turbine vertical high-temperature double-ended screws. This anti-fall device for disassembling high-temperature nuts is suitable for the disassembly process requirements of various specifications of high-temperature vertical double-ended screws. It is currently in use with good results and deserves widespread promotion and application. Attached Figure Description
