Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine technology, and in particular to a steam turbine oil anti-water ingress device. 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. Thus, steam power is converted into mechanical power. Steam turbines are the main equipment in modern thermal power plants, possessing advantages such as high single-unit power, high efficiency, and long service life. Therefore, they are widely used in the metallurgical industry, chemical industry, and ship propulsion systems.

[0003] Excessive water content in turbine oil is a common fault in power plants. High water content can lead to oil emulsification, degrading oil quality and seriously jeopardizing the safe operation of the turbine. This manifests primarily as oxidation and corrosion of the regulating and safety components, causing jamming, load fluctuations and overspeeding, oil deterioration, inability to form an oil film, vibration and bearing failure, and even excessive hydrogen levels in hydrogen-cooled generators, all of which seriously compromise safe operation. Excessive water content in the turbine oil is caused by water entering the turbine oil. The main reason for this is that when the turbine's gas seal pressure is too high, steam from inside the cylinder enters the bearing housing through the bearing oil seal gaps, cools, and forms water droplets, causing water to enter the bearing housing oil. Therefore, a turbine oil water ingress prevention device is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a turbine oil anti-water ingress device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A turbine oil anti-water ingress device includes a first sealing element, which is fixedly sleeved on a rotating shaft. The first sealing element consists of a metal base ring, a first rubber sleeve, and an annular sealing rubber element. The first rubber sleeve is sleeved on the metal base ring, and the annular sealing rubber element is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first rubber sleeve. A second sealing element is movably installed on the first sealing element. The second sealing element consists of an annular metal frame, a second rubber sleeve, a connecting tube, rubber sealing rings, and sealing rubber rings. The second rubber sleeve is sleeved on the annular metal frame, and the connecting tube is fixedly inserted into the annular metal frame and the second rubber sleeve. There are two rubber sealing rings symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second rubber sleeve, and four sealing rubber rings are respectively fixedly installed on the inner ends of the two rubber sealing rings.

[0007] Preferably, the metal base ring and the first rubber sleeve on the first seal are fixedly connected, and the first rubber sleeve is also fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the second seal is rotatably connected to the first seal, and the second seal is located on the outside of the first rubber sleeve and is also sleeved on the outside of the annular sealing rubber element.

[0010] Preferably, the annular metal frame and the second rubber sleeve on the second sealing element are fixedly connected. The cross-section of the annular metal frame and the second rubber sleeve is a U-shaped structure with the opening facing inward. The annular metal frame and the second rubber sleeve are provided with connecting holes. The connecting holes penetrate the bottom wall of the annular metal frame and the second rubber sleeve from the inside and outside. The connecting tube is fixedly inserted into the connecting holes.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a turbine oil anti-water ingress device includes a first seal 1, which is fixedly sleeved on a rotating shaft 3. The first seal 1 consists of a metal base ring 4, a first rubber sleeve 5, and an annular sealing rubber component 6. The first rubber sleeve 5 is sleeved on the metal base ring 4, and the annular sealing rubber component 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first rubber sleeve 5. A second seal 2 is movably installed on the first seal 1. The second seal 2 consists of an annular metal frame 8, a second rubber sleeve 9, a connecting tube 10, a rubber sealing ring 11, and a sealing rubber ring. The device consists of 12 components. The second rubber sleeve 9 is fitted onto the annular metal frame 8. The connecting tube 10 is fixedly inserted into the annular metal frame 8 and the second rubber sleeve 9. There are two rubber sealing rings 11, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second rubber sleeve 9. There are four sealing rubber rings 12, which are respectively fixedly installed on the inner ends of the two rubber sealing rings 11. In use, the second rubber sleeve 9 on the second sealing element 2 can be fixedly connected to the bearing housing. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the rotating shaft 3 will rotate the first sealing element 1, while the second sealing element 2 will not rotate.

[0022] Finally, by setting up a sealing assembly consisting of a first seal 1 and a second seal 2, and connecting the second seal 2 to the air supply equipment, a high air pressure can be maintained inside the first seal 1 and the second seal 2. Under the action of this air pressure, the annular sealing rubber 6 is tightly fitted with the rubber sealing ring 11 and the sealing rubber ring 12, thereby blocking steam and preventing steam from entering the bearing housing, and ultimately preventing water from entering the bearing housing oil.

[0023] Furthermore, the metal base ring 4 and the first rubber sleeve 5 on the first sealing element 1 are fixedly connected. The first rubber sleeve 5 is also fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. The cross-section of the annular sealing rubber element 6 on the first sealing element 1 is a U-shaped structure with the opening facing outwards. Two annular sealing grooves 7 are opened at the outer ends of the two side walls of the annular sealing rubber element 6. The bottom wall of the annular sealing rubber element 6 is fixedly connected to the first rubber sleeve 5. The second sealing element 2 is rotatably connected to the first sealing element 1. The second sealing element 2 is located outside the first rubber sleeve 5 and is also sleeved on the outside of the annular sealing rubber element 6. The annular metal frame 8 and the second rubber sleeve 9 on the second sealing element 2 are fixedly connected. The cross-section of the annular metal frame 8 and the second rubber sleeve 9 are both U-shaped structures with the opening facing inwards. The annular metal frame 8 and the second rubber sleeve 9 are provided with connecting insertion holes 13. The bottom walls of the annular metal frame 8 and the second rubber sleeve 9 are penetrated both inside and outside. The connecting tube 10 is fixedly inserted into the connecting hole 13. The connecting tube 10 is connected to the gas supply equipment through a pipe. The two rubber sealing rings 11 on the second sealing element 2 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner ends of the two side walls of the second rubber sleeve 9, and the two rubber sealing rings 11 are respectively located on both sides of the annular sealing rubber element 6. The sealing rubber ring 12 is embedded in the annular sealing groove 7. During operation, the gas supply equipment fills the first sealing element 1 and the second sealing element 2 with air through the pipe, so that the first sealing element 1 and the second sealing element 2 maintain a high air pressure. This pressure needs to be greater than the external steam pressure. Under this pressure, the annular sealing rubber element 6, the rubber sealing ring 11, and the sealing rubber ring 12 will fit tightly together, which can effectively prevent steam from entering the bearing box and prevent water from entering the bearing box.
