Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine rotor technology, and in particular to an auxiliary clamping device for turning steam turbine rotors. Background Technology

[0002] A steam turbine is a rotary steam power unit. High-temperature and high-pressure steam passes through a fixed nozzle and becomes an accelerated airflow, which is then injected onto the blades, causing the rotor equipped with a row of blades to rotate and perform work. The steam turbine rotor is an assembly of rotating steam turbine components such as the main shaft, impeller or drum, moving blades, and coupling.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (application number "201720125455.5") disclosing "an auxiliary clamping device for turning a steam turbine rotor on a horizontal lathe." This device comprises a U-shaped plate, a rectangular copper washer, a first bolt, a second bolt, a third bolt, a fourth bolt, a fifth bolt, and a sixth bolt. The rectangular copper washer is positioned within the opening of the U-shaped plate, with the inner surface of the U-shaped plate and the inner surface of the rectangular copper washer enclosing a rectangular hole in the profile. Of the two end faces of the rectangular copper washer that contact the inner surface of the U-shaped plate, one end face has a first threaded blind hole and a second threaded blind hole, and the other end face has a third threaded blind hole. The device includes a first threaded blind hole and a fourth threaded blind hole; the line connecting the center of the first threaded blind hole and the center of the second threaded blind hole is parallel to the length direction of the end face of the cuboid copper washer that contacts the inner surface of the U-shaped plate; the line connecting the center of the third threaded blind hole and the center of the fourth threaded blind hole is parallel to the length direction of the end face of the cuboid copper washer that contacts the inner surface of the U-shaped plate. However, during use, the above device only fixes the two ends of the turbine rotor. When cutting the turbine rotor, due to the long length and heavy weight of the turbine rotor, the turbine rotor will vibrate during rotation, causing damage to the turbine rotor during cutting, resulting in low practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an auxiliary clamping device for turning steam turbine rotors, which solves the problem that the clamping device proposed in the prior art has low practicality because the steam turbine rotor is long and heavy, and the rotor vibrates during rotation, causing damage to the steam turbine rotor during cutting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An auxiliary clamping device for turning a steam turbine rotor includes a bracket, which includes a base and a mounting base. The base is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which includes two lifting cylinders bolted to the top outer wall of the base and mounting plates bolted to the bottom outer wall of the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders. The mounting plates have two mounting mechanisms on their tops. Each mounting mechanism includes a connecting plate with two slots on its top outer wall, two limiting blocks fixed to the bottom outer wall of the connecting plate, a limiting screw fixed to the bottom outer wall of the limiting blocks, and two fixing plates bolted to the slots. Each connecting plate has a support assembly, which includes two fixing blocks bolted to one side outer wall of the two fixing plates and a support roller with a rubber ring fixed to its outer wall. Each of the four fixing plates has a clamping assembly on one side, which includes a clamping cylinder bolted to one side outer wall of the fixing plate, a mounting frame bolted to the outer wall of one end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder, and a squeezing roller with a rubber ring fixed to its outer wall.

[0007] Preferably, two support plates are fixed on the top outer wall of the base, and the bottom of the mounting base is fixed on the top outer wall of the two support plates respectively.

[0008] Preferably, limiting rods are fixed on the four corners of the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate, and the four limiting rods are respectively inserted through and slidably installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting base.

[0009] Preferably, the four corner outer walls of the top of the mounting base are provided with limiting grooves along the length direction, and two limiting blocks are slidably installed in two of the limiting grooves respectively. The bottom of each of the four limiting grooves is provided with a channel, and two limiting screws are slidably sleeved in two of the channels respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the two fixed blocks are connected to a fixed rod on the outer wall of opposite sides by a bearing, and the support roller is fixed to the outer wall of the fixed rod.

[0011] The above scheme uses the piston rod of the lifting cylinder to move the mounting plate and two connecting plates, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed plate and the turbine rotor, so that the support roller contacts and supports the bottom of the turbine rotor.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting frame abuts against the top outer wall of the two fixing blocks, and two stabilizing rods are fixed on one outer wall of the mounting frame. The two stabilizing rods pass through and slide on one outer wall of the fixing plate. A rotating shaft is connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame through a bearing, and the extrusion roller is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0013] The above scheme involves moving the piston rod of the clamping cylinder to move the mounting frame along the surface of the fixed block, which in turn moves the extrusion rollers toward the surface of the turbine rotor. Subsequently, the two opposing extrusion rollers extrude and fix the turbine rotor.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The piston rod of the lifting cylinder drives the mounting plate and two connecting plates to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed plate and the turbine rotor. This allows the support roller to contact and support the bottom of the turbine rotor. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder moves, causing the mounting frame to move along the surface of the fixed block, which in turn moves the extrusion roller toward the surface of the turbine rotor. Subsequently, the two opposing extrusion rollers extrude and fix the turbine rotor. This provides support and auxiliary clamping for the middle part of the turbine rotor during turning, preventing the turbine rotor from vibrating during turning and improving its practicality.

A lifting mechanism 2 is provided on the base 101. The lifting mechanism 2 includes two lifting cylinders 201 bolted to the top outer wall of the base 101 and mounting plates 202 bolted to the bottom outer wall of the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 201. Limiting rods 203 are fixed to the four corners of the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate 202. The four limiting rods 203 are respectively inserted through and slidably mounted on the bottom outer wall of the mounting base 103. Two mounting mechanisms 3 are provided on the top of the mounting plate 202. 3 includes a connecting plate 301 with two slots on its top outer wall, two limiting blocks 302 fixed to the bottom outer wall of the connecting plate 301, limiting screws 303 fixed to the bottom outer wall of the limiting blocks 302, and two fixing plates 304 connected to the slots by bolts. The four corner outer walls of the top of the mounting base 103 have limiting grooves along the length direction. The two limiting blocks 302 are slidably installed in two of the limiting grooves. The bottom of each of the four limiting grooves has a channel. The two limiting screws 303 are slidably sleeved in two of the channels. The lower part of the limiting screws 303 is screwed with a fastening nut, which is used to fix the entire mounting mechanism 3.

[0026] Example 2, refer to Figure 6-7An auxiliary clamping device for turning a steam turbine rotor further includes several support components 4. Each support component 4 includes two fixing blocks 401 respectively bolted to the outer wall of one side of two fixing plates 304, and a support roller 403 with a rubber ring fixed to its outer wall. Fixing rods 402 are connected to the outer walls of the two fixing blocks 401 on opposite sides via bearings. The support rollers 403 are fixed to the outer walls of the fixing rods 402. Each of the four fixing plates 304 has a clamping component 5 on one side. Each clamping component 5 includes components bolted to the outer wall of one side of the fixing plate 304. The clamping cylinder 501 is bolted to the outer wall of one end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 501, and the squeezing roller 505 with a rubber ring fixed on its outer wall. The bottom of the mounting frame 502 abuts against the top outer wall of the two fixing blocks 401 respectively. Two stabilizing rods 503 are fixed on one outer wall of the mounting frame 502.

A rotating shaft 504 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 502 through a bearing. The squeezing roller 505 is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 504.

[0027] Working principle: The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 201 drives the mounting plate 202 and the two connecting plates 301 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixing plate 304 and the turbine rotor, so that the support roller 403 contacts and supports the bottom of the turbine rotor. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 501 moves, driving the mounting frame 502 to move along the surface of the fixing block 401, thereby driving the extrusion roller 505 to move towards the surface of the turbine rotor. Then, the two opposing extrusion rollers 505 extrude and fix the turbine rotor. When the rotor is machined to the clamping position, one of the mounting mechanisms 3 is moved to the machined position, and the machining process can continue.
