Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water turbine, especially to a special tool for quick dismounting of water turbine top cover double-end bolt. BACKGROUND

[0002] The water turbine top cover bolt is a key component in the assembly of the water turbine generator unit, and its strength checking and assembly quality play a vital role in the reliable operation of the water turbine generator unit. During the overhaul of the unit, dismounting and mounting of all the top cover bolts are essential work links. However, the current dismounting and mounting of the top cover bolts of large and medium-sized hydroelectric units faces many problems, such as poor adaptability of the dismounting and mounting tools, difficulty in manual dismounting and mounting, inconvenience in hoisting and carrying the bolts, etc., which seriously affect the operation efficiency and safety. The dismounting and mounting efficiency of the water turbine top cover bolt is a key factor affecting the linear period of unit overhaul. The current dismounting and mounting method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also has many safety hazards and quality risks. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model is made based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems:

[0004] The top cover bolts of large and medium-sized hydroelectric units have the characteristics of large number, special structure and large size. The existing sleeve tools cannot match these special top cover bolts, making it difficult to use pneumatic wrenches or electric wrenches for efficient dismounting and mounting operation. Currently, only traditional open-end wrenches and impact wrenches can be used for manual operation.

[0005] Due to long-term operation of the unit, the top cover bolts may rust, which greatly increases the resistance during dismounting and mounting. At the same time, due to the limitation of the installation position, only smaller tools can be selected in actual operation. The force arm of the smaller tools is shorter, and it is difficult to generate enough torque required for bolt removal. To solve this problem, a larger size hex nut is usually welded on the top of the bolt, and then a larger size open-end wrench can be used for dismounting and mounting.

[0006] The operation of welding a hex nut on the top of the bolt not only has a large workload, but also requires high safety protection measures for the operation site. Because there are usually many oil pipes arranged at the operation site, there is a risk of fire and other safety accidents during the welding process. In addition, the welding operation will have a thermal effect on the bolt body, which may change the performance of the bolt material, damage the bolt thread, and affect the service life of the bolt and the assembly quality of the unit.

[0007] No lifting hole is provided on the water turbine top cover bolt, and only single-handed operation can be relied on during carrying. However, these bolts are heavy, and there are usually a lot of oil stains at the operation site, making the ground wet and slippery, so that the lifting and carrying of the bolts not only have a high safety risk, but also are inefficient.

[0008] The utility model aims at solving one of the technical problems in the related art at least to some extent.

[0009] Therefore, the utility model discloses an embodiment proposes a special tool for quick dismounting of the double-end bolt of the top cover of the hydraulic turbine, improves the dismounting efficiency and safety of the bolt of the top cover of the hydraulic turbine, and guarantees the maintenance quality and operation reliability of the hydraulic generator set.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0024] The special tool for quickly disassembling and assembling the top cover double-headed bolt 3 of a hydraulic turbine according to an embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 , the special tool for quickly disassembling and assembling the top cover double-headed bolt 3 of a hydraulic turbine according to an embodiment of the present application includes an adapter sleeve 1 and a locking sleeve 2.

[0026] The adapter sleeve 1 includes an upper twist segment 11 and a lower adapter segment 12, and the twist segment 11 and the adapter segment 12 can be integrally formed by mold pouring to eliminate the weak points of welding or assembly interfaces and ensure that the tool does not deform or break under repeated stress.

[0027] The twist segment 11 has an outer size matching the sleeve of a pneumatic or electric wrench, and the twist segment 11 has a regular hexagonal prism shape, such as a hexagonal head of M56, with a height of 40 mm, and is compatible with the sleeve of a mainstream pneumatic or electric wrench M56, eliminating size mismatch between the tool and the bolt.

[0028] The adapter segment 12 is provided with an assembly hole 121, and the shape and size of the assembly hole 121 match the boss 31 on the top cover double-headed bolt 3, such as a linear type or a rectangular type, and precise clamping is achieved through customized design.

[0029] The locking sleeve 2 is sleeved on the adapter segment 12, and the inner peripheral wall of the locking sleeve 2 is provided with an internal thread 21 matching the upper thread of the top cover double-headed bolt 3, so that the adapter segment 12 is connected with the top cover double-headed bolt 3 through the locking sleeve 2, forming a rigid connection to prevent the tool from being separated under impact load.

[0030] Therefore, in the embodiment of the utility model, the torque of the pneumatic or electric wrench is transmitted to the top cover stud bolt 3 through the adapter sleeve 1, the problem that the sleeve of the pneumatic or electric wrench and the boss 31 on the top of the top cover stud bolt are not matched and cannot be forced is solved, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the top cover stud bolt 3 is significantly improved. Moreover, the adapter sleeve 1 is firmly fixed on the top cover stud bolt 3 through the locking sleeve 2, tool failure under high-speed impact is avoided, and operation safety is ensured.

[0031] In addition, the special tool of the embodiment of the utility model is made of chromium-molybdenum steel material, and the impact resistance of the tool is improved through high hardness and high wear resistance material, and the high-strength disassembly and assembly scene is adapted.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The outer shape of the adapter section 12 is a cylinder, the central axis of the torque section 11, the central axis of the adapter section 12 and the central axis of the locking sleeve 2 are coaxially arranged, the locking sleeve 2 has a central through hole 201, and the lower part of the adapter section 12 is located in the central through hole 201.

[0033] It can be understood that the axes of the three are coincident, ensuring that there is no eccentric moment in the process of transmitting torque from the wrench to the boss 31 of the top cover stud bolt 3, avoiding tool vibration, bolt head wear or thread seizure caused by eccentricity. Therefore, the coaxial design makes the load uniformly transmitted along the center line of the tool, reduces local stress concentration, and prolongs the service life of the tool.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The assembly hole 121 is arranged at the lower end face of the adapter section 12, and the depth of the assembly hole 121 is greater than the height of the boss 31 on the top cover stud bolt 3.

[0035] For example, the projection of the assembly hole 121 is rectangular, the length of the assembly hole 121 is 50mm, the width is 30mm, and the depth is 30mm. The assembly hole 121 completely covers the boss 31 on the top cover stud bolt 3, and the depth redundancy design provides an axial allowance for the tool and the top cover stud bolt 3. Even under high-frequency impact or vibration working conditions, the boss 31 can still be stably clamped in the assembly hole 121, preventing the tool from slipping due to instantaneous load deviation.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The inner thread counterbore 111 is arranged at the center of the upper end face of the torque section 11, and the inner thread counterbore 111 is used for installing a lifting ring.

[0037] It can be understood that, after the top cover stud bolt 3 is removed, the bolt lifting is directly completed by rotating a standard lifting ring (such as M14 specification) without replacing tools or additional fixing devices, thereby solving the problem of inconvenient lifting and carrying of the existing bolt.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The internal thread 21 is located on the hole wall of the lower part of the center through hole 201, so that the locking sleeve 2 is directly screwed on the upper bolt of the top cover stud bolt 3.

[0039] Optionally, the projection shape of the outer contour of the locking sleeve 2 is a regular hexagon, which facilitates the application of a tightening torque by using an auxiliary tool (such as a wrench), thereby enhancing the locking reliability.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The adapter section 12 and the locking sleeve 2 are relatively slidable, the lower end of the adapter section 12 has an outer convex edge 122, the upper end of the locking sleeve 2 has an inner convex edge 22, and the projections of the outer convex edge 122 and the inner convex edge 22 have overlapping parts.

[0041] It can be understood that the overlapping projections of the outer convex edge 122 and the inner convex edge 22 form a "mechanical stop", so that even if the tool is not completely locked or is vibrated, the locking sleeve 2 is still limited on the adapter section 12, thereby avoiding the risk of falling of tool parts in high-altitude operation.

[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The circumferential wall of the outer convex edge 122 and the hole wall of the center through hole 201 are spaced apart in the inner and outer directions, and have a sliding gap therebetween, thereby avoiding rigid friction between the adapter section 12 and the locking sleeve 2, and ensuring smooth screwing.

[0043] In summary, the utility model discloses a cooperative design of an adapter sleeve and a locking sleeve, and takes adaptability structure (hexagonal head, assembly hole), rigid connection (thread locking) and function integration (lifting interface) as the core, thereby systematically solving the problems of poor adaptability, low efficiency and many safety hazards in the disassembly of the top cover stud bolt of the water turbine. Through the detailed design of material, size and connection mode, the reliability, universality and operation convenience of the tool are further strengthened, thereby having significant technical progress and engineering practical value.
