Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing tool technology, and in particular relates to a tool for testing the cylinder impact of a large steam turbine. Background Technology

[0002] Steam turbines are critical equipment in power plants and large ship propulsion systems. The clearance between the rotor and cylinder must be strictly controlled, typically within the range of 0.01 mm, to ensure efficient rotor rotation driven by steam and prevent friction damage to moving and stationary components. During turbine maintenance, slight deformation may occur in the low-pressure cylinder, causing changes in the clearance between the rotor and cylinder components. Cylinder impact tests accurately diagnose the minimum clearance between the two, providing crucial data for subsequent shaft alignment and other maintenance work. These tests can promptly identify potential collision hazards between the rotor and cylinder, preventing rubbing failures caused by insufficient clearance during operation. Such failures subject the rotor and stator to impact and tangential friction, potentially leading to increased vibration, instability, and even equipment damage.

[0003] Traditional cylinder collision testing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring multiple personnel and a considerable amount of time to complete, and it also poses safety risks. Furthermore, traditional methods are limited by on-site conditions and cannot meet the precision and efficiency requirements of modern large steam turbine maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a tool for testing the cylinder impact of a large steam turbine includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. A closed monitoring chamber is formed between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. Monitoring components are provided inside the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The monitoring components are used to realize real-time monitoring of the impact force. A fixing component is inserted between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0026] like Figure 2-3As shown in Figure -5, the monitoring component includes a pressure plate 5 and a pressure sensor 6. A closed monitoring cavity is formed between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. A sliding groove 3 is provided on the inner side of the upper shell 1, and a sliding groove 4 is provided on the inner side of the lower shell 2. The pressure plate 5 is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 3 and the sliding groove 4, respectively. The pressure sensor 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 3 and the sliding groove 4, respectively. A spring 7 is provided between the pressure plate 5 and the pressure sensor 6. A slot 8 is provided on the inner side of the upper shell 1, and a slot 9 that matches the slot 8 is provided on the inner side of the lower shell 2. A magnetic base 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slot 8 and the slot 9, and a thermal sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the magnetic base 10.

[0027] The pressure plate 5 is arc-shaped, with its outer side fitting into the inner sides of slide groove 3 and slide groove 4 respectively. Springs 7 are respectively installed inside slide groove 3 and slide groove 4. One end of spring 7 is fixedly connected to pressure sensor 6, and the other end of spring 7 is fixedly connected to pressure plate 5. Microprocessors are installed on the outer sides of upper shell 1 and lower shell 2. Pressure sensor 6 is electrically connected to microprocessor via wires. Thermistor 11 is electrically connected to microprocessor via wires. Magnetic base 10 is made of neodymium iron boron material and holds the end of the rotating shaft in the monitoring cavity. The distributed neodymium iron boron magnetic base 10, in conjunction with visual guidance, enables rapid tool positioning. When the rotor rotates, the rotor end presses against pressure plate 5, causing spring 7 to undergo elastic deformation. Pressure sensor 6 monitors the elastic pressure, providing soft contact collision protection to avoid equipment damage. This enables real-time monitoring of the collision force at the rotor end and monitoring of the temperature field at the rotor end via thermistor 11, thereby achieving force-thermal monitoring of the rotor.

[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a double-ended bolt 12, a fixing nut 13, and a spring plate 14. A fixing plate 15 is symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the upper shell 1 along the central axis of the upper shell 1, and a fixing plate 26 is symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the lower shell 2 along the central axis of the lower shell 2. The fixing plate 15 has a fixing hole 17, and the fixing plate 26 has a fixing hole 28. The double-ended bolt 12 is inserted into the fixing hole 17 and the fixing hole 28. The fixing nut 13 is threaded to both ends of the double-ended bolt 12, and the spring plate 14 is sleeved on the double-ended bolt 12.

[0029] The spring plates 14 are arranged in several groups and are stacked on top of each other. One end of the spring plate 14 contacts the fixing nut 13, and the other end of the spring plate 14 contacts the fixing plate 15 and the fixing plate 2 respectively. The stacking of the spring plates 14 ensures the tight connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and ensures the tightness of the monitoring cavity.

[0030] In practical use, the tool is placed at the end of the rotor and fixedly connected to the outside of the cylinder. The cylinder is slowly lifted by the hydraulic device, and the rotor is manually rotated until it can no longer be rotated. The force-thermal state of the rotor is recorded by the monitoring component.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
