Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an auxiliary device for installing counterweight blocks on a steam turbine rotor. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of power plant units, excessive vibration can occur due to high-speed dynamic imbalance of the turbine rotor and wear of the bearings. Adjusting the counterweights through dynamic balancing tests is a common and effective method to eliminate this vibration. After the unit is shut down, counterweights are added to the designated balance screw holes on the turbine rotor. The counterweights are typically screws that mate with the balance screw holes. Since the installation of counterweights is usually done immediately after shutdown, the work is often inconvenient due to high temperatures and limited space. Currently, the tool used for installing counterweights is usually a long rod connected to the counterweight. Because the counterweight needs to be inserted into the insertion hole and the screw hole needs to be accurately located, the insertion position is often difficult to find due to the darkness inside the insertion hole. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an auxiliary device for installing the counterweight block of a steam turbine rotor.

[0004] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An auxiliary device for installing counterweights on a steam turbine rotor comprises: an outer sleeve, a connecting plate fixed to the end of the outer sleeve, a screw fixed to the connecting plate, a puller slidably connected inside the outer sleeve, a lamp tube fixed to the outer wall of the outer sleeve, and a lighting lamp fixed inside the lamp tube.

[0006] The outer sleeve contains a first reflector, a second reflector, a third reflector, and a fourth reflector. The first reflector is arranged in parallel with the second reflector, and the third reflector is arranged in parallel with the fourth reflector.

[0007] The turbine rotor counterweight installation auxiliary device includes two tie rods, which are fixed together by a crossbar, and each tie rod has a plate fixed to its end.

[0008] The turbine rotor counterweight installation auxiliary device has two hand grips fixed to the outside of the outer sleeve.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. By setting up a lighting lamp and four reflectors, this utility model can illuminate the position of the screw plug hole when the counterweight is inserted. The continuous reflection of the four reflectors makes it easy for people to see the insertion position, ensuring the accuracy of the insertion position. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Reference Figures 1-7An auxiliary device for installing a turbine rotor counterweight includes: an outer sleeve 3, a connecting plate 15 fixed to the end of the outer sleeve, a screw 1 fixed to the connecting plate, a puller 7 slidably connected inside the outer sleeve, a lamp tube 17 fixed to the outer wall of the outer sleeve, the lamp tube being a cylindrical structure, a lighting lamp 2 fixed inside the lamp tube, the lighting lamp being inserted into the lamp tube and fixed thereto, the lighting lamp being a commonly used cylindrical high-intensity flashlight, which is placed inside the lamp tube and fixed by a locking bolt 4. The locking bolt only presses against the surface of the flashlight to fix its position, and does not need to be inserted into the flashlight.

[0023] The outer sleeve contains a first reflector 8, a second reflector 9, a third reflector 10, and a fourth reflector 11. The first reflector is arranged in parallel with the second reflector, and the third reflector is arranged in parallel with the fourth reflector. All four reflectors are plane reflectors.

[0024] The aforementioned puller includes two pull rods 12, which are fixed together by a crossbar 14. Each pull rod has a plate 16 fixed at its end. The plate is located in the rectangular hole of the connecting plate and cooperates with the positioning groove of the counterweight.

[0025] Two guide sleeves 13 are fixed inside the outer sleeve. Each guide sleeve has a through hole. The pull rod passes through the through hole of the guide sleeve. The guide sleeves can ensure the pulling limit of the pull rod.

[0026] The outer sleeve has two hand grips 6 fixed to its exterior.

[0027] Working principle: When using it, refer to... Figures 8-10 First, connect the device to the counterweight by threading the screw into the threaded hole of the counterweight. Stop when the mounting plate and the positioning groove of the counterweight are aligned. Then, hold the horizontal bar and push the inserter forward. After pushing, the mounting plate will be inserted into the positioning groove 18 of the counterweight. This completes the installation of the counterweight and the device. Next, turn on the flashlight switch and, holding the handle, insert the device face down through the insertion hole 21. The flashlight will provide illumination during insertion. Four reflectors are also provided; through continuous reflection, the counterweight and the… The position of the screw plug hole 22 is reflected to the human eye, allowing a clear view of the counterweight's location. This facilitates the insertion of the counterweight. After the counterweight is inserted into the screw plug hole, which is also a self-threaded hole, hold the crossbar and rotate the puller. This will cause the counterweight to rotate as well, allowing the counterweight to be threaded into the screw plug hole. After the connection is complete, pull the puller upwards to disengage its insert plate from the counterweight's positioning groove. Then, rotate the outer sleeve in the opposite direction to detach the device from the counterweight.
