Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to water turbine generator technology field, concretely relates to a vertical water turbine generator bearing oil mist processing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water turbine generator unit is big in diameter and heavy in load, so oil lubrication sliding bearing is mostly used. A large amount of oil mist is generated in the bearing oil groove during the operation of the unit, and the main sources of the oil mist are: a) oil in agitation state, which collides with the components in the oil groove continuously, and the collision process generates oil mist; b) oil bubble explosion, which generates oil mist; c) oil temperature rise, which generates oil mist due to gasification of lubricating oil. If the oil mist cannot be effectively prevented and overflowed from the oil groove, it will cause pollution to the unit environment and may pose a threat to the insulation system of the unit.

[0003] Therefore, the general prior art scheme sets a sealing cover structure and an oil mist filtering and processing system for blocking oil mist at the bearing of the water turbine generator. However, the effect of most prior art schemes is not ideal, especially the oil mist machine extracts a large amount of oil mist, which causes oil pollution in the pit or workshop, causes the oil level in the oil groove to drop rapidly, and oil must be frequently supplemented.

[0004] Chinese patent document with publication number CN105674036A and publication date of June 15, 2016 discloses a water turbine generator bearing oil groove oil mist collecting method and oil mist collecting device, which comprises: a semi-closed oil mist absorption space is set up outside the bearing oil groove to form a mixed channel for extracting oil mist and air, and to realize effective collection of only the oil mist overflowed from the oil groove while releasing the pressure of the bearing oil groove; the oil mist collecting device comprises a water turbine generator bearing oil groove cover plate oil mist discharge hole, a suction cavity cover body is buckled in the upper space of the oil mist discharge hole to form a semi-open oil mist and air mixing cavity, the suction cavity cover body is fixed to the water turbine generator bearing oil groove cover plate through a flange, an air inlet, an oil mist suction inlet and a suction port are arranged on the suction cavity cover body, the suction port is communicated with an oil mist purification device through a connecting hose, and the semi-open oil mist and air mixing cavity of the oil mist collecting device can treat and separate the oil mist overflowed from the water turbine generator bearing oil groove.

[0005] However, the above technical solution, by setting up the oil mist and air mixing cavity, and setting up the air inlet on the cavity, firstly, there is the risk of uneven fan load and unstable pressure; secondly, the external air sucked in and mixed with the oil mist enters the oil mist purification device, which greatly increases the load of the oil mist purification device, reduces the oil mist purification efficiency and waste oil recovery capacity, and cannot effectively recover and purify waste oil; there is settled waste oil in the oil mist and air mixing cavity of the technical solution, and this part of waste oil does not set up a collection device, which may leak out and pollute the unit or block the air inlet; if the fan air volume is not properly set, it will increase the path of oil mist overflow; finally, the technical solution still needs frequent external oil supplement.

[0006] The utility model discloses a kind of semi-umbrella type water turbine generator unit bearing sealing oil mist automatic recovery device, including rotating shaft;Oil groove is arranged on the rotating shaft, the lubricating oil collected in the oil collection tank in the automatic recovery device of the utility model uses self gravity natural backflow to oil groove, to reduce complex oil return pipeline and the link of oil pump, structure is relatively simpler, facilitate installation;Oil return process can also be in real time, compared with the structure of backflow using oil pump, this sealing mode can real-time circulation lubricating oil, completely avoid the lack of oil phenomenon generated by oil groove due to dredging sealing mode;On the reverse helical sealing, increase a gapless auxiliary sealing, ensure that sealing surface and shaft have no gap, to prevent dust outside oil groove or oil mist possibly escaped from inside oil groove to pass through, further strengthen sealing effect.

[0007] However, the above technical solution, relies on sealing design and structure to realize the collection and backflow of oil mist without the ability of deep purification of oil mist, on the one hand, the oil mist collection capacity is limited, and the fundamental reason for oil mist overflow is not improved; balance the air pressure difference inside and outside the oil groove; it is impossible to deeply recover small oil mist particles, on the other hand, the traditional contact sealing is adopted, the sealing life is short and easy to fail, and impurities may exist after oil recovery and utilization, thereby causing damage to the rotating shaft.
