Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydro-generator technology, and in particular to a quick disassembly device for the lower bushing of the movable guide vane in a large hydropower station. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale reaction turbine generator sets are all equipped with a water guiding mechanism, which is one of the core components of the turbine generator set. It is a device that controls the direction and amount of water flowing into the unit during operation, and is also used to cut off the water flow into the turbine, realize start-up and shutdown operations and emergency shutdown, and is crucial to the stability and safety of the entire unit operation.

[0003] In the guide vane mechanism, the rotatable and adjustable blades installed in front of the runner of a reaction turbine, evenly distributed along the circumference, are called movable guide vanes. The main function of the movable guide vane bushing is to fix the radial oscillation of the movable guide vanes, allowing the guide vanes to open and close smoothly to control the flow rate entering the runner. During unit operation, the movable guide vanes rotate and rub against the bushing. Over time, the gap between the movable guide vane shaft and the bushing increases, causing the movable guide vanes to lose their restraint and oscillate radially. Therefore, the guide vane bushing needs to be repaired or replaced during the unit's major overhaul to ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0004] The lower bushing of the movable guide vane is installed on the bottom ring of the turbine with a clearance fit. After a long period of operation, disassembly is difficult. In the past, destructive removal was used during maintenance, which resulted in problems such as damage to the bottom ring mating surface, long disassembly time, and inability to repair the bushing.

[0007] This utility model uses a base plate and a top plate. The base plate abuts against the lower bushing from the lower end of the lower bushing. The top plate is lifted by a telescopic lifting component, which in turn moves the base plate upward to remove the lower bushing from the shaft hole.

[0008] Optionally, a connecting bolt is provided through the top plate and the bottom plate, and both the top plate and the bottom plate are provided with connecting holes for the connecting bolt to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the base plate is not less than 30mm; the width of the base plate is not less than 100mm; and the length of the base plate is greater than the inner diameter of the lower bushing and less than the outer diameter of the lower bushing.

[0011] Furthermore, the maximum diameter of the top plate is greater than the outer diameter of the lower bushing, and the thickness of the top plate is not less than the thickness of the bottom plate.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0023] This utility model proposes a quick disassembly device for the lower bushing 2 of the movable guide vane in a large hydropower station, as detailed below. Figs. 1-2 Please provide a detailed explanation.

[0024] A quick-release device for the lower bushing 2 of the movable guide vane of a large hydropower station includes a bottom ring 1, a shaft hole 11 on the bottom ring 1, a lower bushing 2 disposed in the shaft hole 11, a stepped hole 12 below the shaft hole 11 on the bottom ring 1, a bottom plate 4 that abuts against the bottom surface of the lower bushing 2 disposed in the stepped hole 12, a top plate 3 disposed at the end of the shaft hole 11 away from the bottom plate 4, the bottom plate 4 and the top plate 3 are detachably and fixedly connected, and a telescopic lifting component 7 is disposed between the top plate 3 and the bottom ring 1.

[0025] This utility model sets up a base plate 4 and a top plate 3. The base plate 4 abuts against the lower bushing 2 from the lower end of the lower bushing 2. The telescopic lifting member 7 lifts the top plate 3, thereby driving the base plate 4 to move upward and remove the lower bushing 2 from the shaft hole 11.

[0026] In some embodiments, a connecting bolt 5 is provided through the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4. Both the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 have connecting holes 8 for the connecting bolt 5 to pass through. After passing through two of these connecting holes 8, the connecting bolt 5 is threadedly connected to a fixing nut 6. The top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 are detachably fixed together by the connecting bolt 5, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the bottom plate 4 and the top plate 3. When fixing the connecting bolt 5, the head of the connecting bolt 5 faces downwards, and the stud end passes through two connecting holes 8 in sequence before being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate 3 by the fixing nut 6. In one embodiment, the connecting bolt 5 can be replaced with a connecting screw, both ends of which are detachably threaded with fixing nuts 6.

[0027] In some embodiments, the base plate 4 includes an integrally formed main body plate 41 and two symmetrically arranged arc-edge plates 42. The main body plate 41 is rectangular, and the two arc-edge plates 42 are symmetrically arranged on the two wide sides of the main body plate 41. The integral arrangement of the main body plate 41 and the arc-edge plates 42 makes the base plate 4 as a whole elongated shape, which facilitates the use of the base plate 4 by first placing it upright in a non-horizontal position under the lower bushing 2, and then placing the base plate 4 horizontally so that the arc-edge plates 42 on both sides of the base plate 4 can abut against the lower end face of the lower bushing 2. Then, the base plate 4 and the top plate 3 are fixedly connected by connecting bolts 5, thereby completing the position fixation of the base plate 4.

[0028] In one embodiment, the top plate 3 may have the same shape as the bottom plate 4. In another embodiment, the top plate 3 may have the shape of a rectangular plate, a circular plate, a parallelogram plate, or other centrally symmetrical shapes.

[0029] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base plate 4 is not less than 30mm; the width of the base plate 4 is not less than 100mm; and the length of the base plate 4 is greater than the inner diameter of the lower bushing 2 and less than the outer diameter of the lower bushing 2. The specifications of the base plate 4 ensure its strength and prevent the base plate 4 from bending in the middle due to insufficient strength when the telescopic lifting member 7 lifts the top plate 3.

[0030] In some embodiments, the maximum diameter of the top plate 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower bushing 2, which facilitates the arrangement of the telescopic lifting member 7 near the shaft hole 11. This allows the telescopic lifting member 7 to be completely covered by the top plate 3, making the force application point of the telescopic lifting member 7 closer to the center of the main body of the top plate 3, thereby reducing the possibility of bending in the middle of the top plate 3. Furthermore, the thickness of the top plate 3 is not less than the thickness of the bottom plate 4, ensuring the self-strength of the top plate 3 and further reducing the possibility of bending in the middle of the top plate 3.

[0031] In some embodiments, the telescopic lifting component 7 is configured as a jack. Due to the different specific installation conditions between the lower bushing 2 and the shaft hole 11, when using jacks, the model selection can be gradually increased from small to large. If the lower bushing 2 cannot be disassembled, a higher tonnage jack can be used for disassembly. At the same time, the connecting bolt 5 can be adjusted according to the different jacks selected, and the connection length of the threaded connection part can be adjusted, or a longer or shorter connecting bolt 5 can be replaced.

[0032] In some embodiments, multiple sets of telescopic lifting components 7 are provided, and these multiple sets of telescopic lifting components 7 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the lower bushing 2. The symmetrical arrangement of the telescopic lifting components 7 can keep the top plate 3 in a horizontal state during the rising process, ensuring that the direction of the force applied by the bottom plate 4 to the lower bushing 2 is always parallel to the axis of the shaft hole 11. This avoids the situation where, when a single or asymmetrical telescopic lifting component 7 lifts the top plate 3, the bottom plate 4 applies force at an angle, which would increase the friction between the lower bushing 2 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 11, making the lower bushing 2 more difficult to disassemble.

[0033] In some embodiments, the top plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove 9 for aligning and inserting the telescopic lifting component 7. The positioning groove 9 can effectively speed up the installation of the telescopic lifting component 7. When placing the telescopic lifting component 7, the workers only need to align the telescopic lifting component 7 with the positioning groove 9 to complete the symmetrical arrangement, avoiding the situation where a lot of time is spent finding symmetrical positions during the construction process.

[0034] In some embodiments, both the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 are made of steel plates. The use of steel plates for the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 ensures the strength of the material itself and further reduces the possibility of bending in the middle of the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The base plate 4 is placed at an angle or vertically into the bottom of the lower bushing 2. Then, the base plate 4 is placed horizontally so that the arc edge plates 42 on both sides are aligned with the lower end face of the lower bushing 2. Then, the stud end passes through the two connecting holes 8 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate 3 by the fixing nut 6. After the fixed connection and installation of the top plate 3 and the base plate 4 are completed, the telescopic lifting component 7 is placed between the top plate 3 and the bottom ring 1, and the telescopic lifting component 7 is aligned with the positioning groove 9. Then, the top plate 3 is lifted by controlling the telescopic lifting component 7. The top plate 3 drives the base plate 4 to move upward, thereby completing the disassembly of the lower bushing 2. If the selected telescopic lifting component 7 cannot remove the lower bushing 2, a telescopic lifting component 7 with a larger tonnage can be replaced for disassembly.
