Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thermal power generation technology, specifically relating to a low-pressure main steam valve and a feedwater pump turbine. Background Technology

[0002] The feedwater pump turbine is a key auxiliary equipment in thermal power plants, playing a decisive role in ensuring the stable operation of the boiler feedwater system, improving unit efficiency, and ensuring the overall safe and economical operation of the power plant. The feedwater pump turbine is typically driven by low-pressure steam (pressure range 0.8–1.5 MPa, temperature 300–350℃) extracted from the main turbine. This steam passes sequentially through the low-pressure main steam valve and the low-pressure regulating valve of the feedwater pump turbine before entering the flow path to perform work. Currently, the low-pressure main steam valve of the feedwater pump turbine generally adopts an integrated casting structure. Due to the characteristics of the casting process and the relatively low allowable high-temperature stress of the blank, the design wall thickness of the cast valve shell is significantly increased (usually more than 1.2 times that of the forged valve shell) to meet the same operating conditions, increasing the product's volume and weight. Furthermore, due to the wall thickness limitation, the cavity space of the low-pressure main steam valve is relatively small, leading to turbulent flow of low-pressure steam within it. This can easily cause valve stem vibration and large valve pressure loss, affecting the safe operation of the unit. Furthermore, the casting process is lengthy and technically challenging, making it difficult to guarantee casting quality. This can leave inherent quality defects in complex areas that cannot be covered by non-destructive testing, posing safety hazards during operation. For the production of small-batch feedwater pump turbines, there are also issues such as high manufacturing costs for low-pressure main steam valve molds, long production cycles, and the susceptibility of castings to defects like shrinkage cavities and porosity. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a low-pressure main steam valve and a feedwater pump turbine, which can reduce the volume and weight of the low-pressure main steam valve, reduce the production cycle and manufacturing cost of the low-pressure main steam valve, and improve the internal steam flow performance of the low-pressure main steam valve.

Both ends of the filter screen are sealed to the valve seat and the valve cover assembly, respectively. A flow divider is located radially outside the filter screen. One end of the main steam valve stem is connected to the valve disc. The free end of the main steam valve stem extends beyond the main cavity through the valve cover assembly. The actuator valve stem is connected to the free end of the main steam valve stem via a valve position indicator.

[0011] The valve core component also includes a packing ring, a valve stem sleeve, and a threaded sleeve. The packing ring is positioned between the outer wall of the main steam valve stem and the valve cover assembly. The valve stem sleeve and threaded sleeve are fitted onto the main steam valve stem and seal both ends of the packing ring.

[0012] The low-pressure main steam valve also includes a pre-opening valve structure. The pre-opening valve structure includes: a valve disc inner bore, a steam inlet, a sealing rod, and a gland. The valve disc inner bore is located on the valve disc. The valve disc inner bore includes a small-diameter section and a large-diameter section that are interconnected. The small-diameter section communicates with the valve seat cavity. The large-diameter section communicates with the main cavity. The steam inlet is located on the valve disc.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] This embodiment provides a low-pressure main steam valve. Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a low-pressure main steam valve provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the valve housing in this embodiment.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the low-pressure main steam valve in this embodiment includes a valve body 1 and a valve core 2. The valve body 1 includes a valve seat cavity 11, a main cavity 12, an outlet flange 13, a valve cover assembly 14, an inlet flange 15, and a flow divider 16. The valve seat cavity 11 and the main cavity 12 are interconnected and coaxial. The outlet flange 13 is connected to the free end of the valve seat cavity 11. The valve cover assembly 14 is connected to the free end of the main cavity 12. The inlet flange 15 is connected to the side wall of the main cavity 12. The flow divider 16 is disposed on the inner wall of the main cavity 12 and located opposite the inlet flange 15. The valve core 2 is disposed within the valve body 1.

[0034] The outlet flange 13 and inlet flange 15 of this implementation use standard specification flanges, which are easy to purchase, require no processing, and reduce production costs.

[0035] In this embodiment, the valve housing 1 is a split structure, consisting of a valve seat cavity 11, a main cavity 12, an outlet flange 13, a valve cover assembly 14, and an inlet flange 15. This reduces manufacturing and testing difficulties, avoids quality defects in complex parts, and improves product quality. Simultaneously, this embodiment significantly reduces the thickness of the valve housing 1, ensuring sufficient internal space while reducing volume and weight. This allows for smoother steam flow within the valve cavity, faster valve warm-up, and rapid unit start-up and shutdown. The low-pressure main steam valve provided in this embodiment does not require casting molds, reducing production cycle and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, this embodiment incorporates a flow divider 16 in the main cavity 12, which promotes more uniform steam flow within the main cavity 12, reduces valve pressure loss, and prevents vibration of the main steam valve stem 24.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the valve seat cavity 11 and the main cavity 12 are made of seamless steel pipes.

[0037] In this embodiment, the valve seat cavity 11 and the main cavity 12 are connected after being machined from seamless steel pipes. This reduces the wall thickness of the low-pressure main steam valve shell 1, lowers the manufacturing cost, and can reduce the valve warm-up time, shorten the warm-up start-up time, and enable the feedwater pump turbine to start up quickly.

[0038] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the valve seat cavity 11 and the main cavity 12 are connected by welding. The outlet flange 13 is connected to the valve seat cavity 11 by welding. The inlet flange 15 is connected to the side wall of the main cavity 12 by welding. The diverter plate 16 is welded to the inner wall of the main cavity 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outlet flange 13, valve seat cavity 11, main cavity 12 and inlet flange 15 are connected together by welding and heat treatment after the mating interfaces are machined. The diversion plate 16 is welded to the inner wall of the main cavity 12 opposite to the inlet flange 15, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty and structural complexity of the valve body 1 and avoids internal quality defects.

[0040] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a flow divider 16 provided in this embodiment. Wherein, as... Figure 3 As shown, the flow divider 16 is V-shaped, including an open end and a closed end. The open end is connected to the inner wall of the main cavity 12. The closed end faces the inlet flange 15.

[0041] The diversion plate 16 in this embodiment is designed in a V-shape with inclined surfaces on both sides. This design can ensure structural strength and provide better diversion and guidance, reducing steam flow turbulence after steam enters the main cavity 12 from the inlet flange 15, reducing valve pressure loss, and preventing vibration of the main steam valve stem 24.

[0042] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flow divider groove 161 is provided in the middle of the flow divider 16. The flow divider groove 161 penetrates the flow divider 16 along the thickness direction of the flow divider 16.

[0043] In this embodiment, a flow divider groove 161 is provided in the middle of the flow divider 16, which can make the steam pressure in the main cavity 12 more balanced, so that the steam can pass through the filter screen 23 more evenly, and further achieve the purpose of reducing valve pressure loss and preventing the main steam valve stem 24 from vibrating.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the valve cover assembly 14 includes: a valve cover body 141, a fastener 142, a gasket 143, and a valve stem leakage conduit 144. The valve cover body 141 is fixed to the end of the main cavity 12 by the fastener 142. The gasket 143 is disposed between the end of the main cavity 12 and the valve cover body 141. The valve cover body 141 is provided with a valve stem mounting hole 145. The valve stem leakage conduit 144 communicates with the side wall of the valve stem mounting hole 145.

[0045] The fasteners 142 in this embodiment are bolts and nuts. The valve cover body 141 is fixed to the main cavity 12 using the bolts and nuts. A gasket 143 is placed between the end of the main cavity 12 and the valve cover body 141, serving a sealing function. A valve stem leakage conduit 144 is provided to guide the leaked steam from the valve stem mounting hole 145 to the shaft seal cooler for steam heat and water recovery.

[0046] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a valve seat 21 and a valve disc 22 provided for this embodiment. Figure 1and Figure 4 As shown, the valve core 2 includes: a valve seat 21, a valve disc 22, a filter screen 23, a main steam valve stem 24, and an actuator valve stem 25. The valve seat 21 is disposed in the valve seat cavity 11. The end of the valve seat 21 facing the valve cover assembly 14 has a throat 26. The valve disc 22 is disposed on the side of the throat 26 near the valve cover assembly 14. The valve disc 22 contacts the inner wall of the throat 26, forming a sealing surface 27. The filter screen 23 is cylindrical, disposed in the main cavity 12, and coaxial with the main cavity 12. Both ends of the filter screen 23 are sealed to the valve seat 21 and the valve cover assembly 14, respectively. A flow divider 16 is located radially outside the filter screen 23. One end of the main steam valve stem 24 is connected to the valve disc 22. The free end of the main steam valve stem 24 extends through the valve cover assembly 14 and beyond the main cavity 12. The actuator valve stem 25 is connected to the free end of the main steam valve stem 24 via the valve position indicator device 28.

[0047] In this embodiment, the valve seat 11 has a throat 26 at one end facing the valve cover assembly 14, and the valve disc 22 is disposed on the side of the throat 26 near the valve cover assembly 14. This helps to increase the contact area between the valve seat 21 and the valve disc 22, thereby increasing the annular area of ​​the sealing surface 27 to accommodate steam flow with a larger specific volume.

[0048] The filter screen 23 in this embodiment is cylindrical and can surround the inlet of the valve core 2, ensuring that the steam entering the main cavity 12 from the inlet flange 15 can only pass through the valve core 2 and enter the valve seat cavity 11 after being filtered by the filter screen 23.

[0049] In this embodiment, the main steam valve stem 24 and the actuator stem 25 are connected as a single unit via a threaded connection using the valve position indicator 28. An actuator bracket is mounted on the valve cover assembly 14, and the low-pressure main steam valve actuator and spring are mounted on the actuator bracket. When the low-pressure main steam valve actuator operates, it overcomes the spring force by pulling the main steam valve stem 24 through the actuator stem 25, which in turn pulls the valve disc 22, thus opening the valve. When the low-pressure main steam valve actuator does not operate, the spring quickly presses the main steam valve stem 24 to the closed position, causing the valve disc 22 to contact the inner wall of the throat 26, forming a sealing surface 27, thereby achieving rapid closure of the low-pressure main steam valve and preventing overspeed of the feedwater pump turbine.

[0050] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the valve core component 2 also includes: a packing ring 29, a valve stem sleeve 210, and a threaded sleeve 211. The packing ring 29 is disposed between the outer wall of the main steam valve stem 24 and the valve cover assembly 14. The valve stem sleeve 210 and the threaded sleeve 211 are sleeved on the main steam valve stem 24, and the valve stem sleeve 210 and the threaded sleeve 211 seal both ends of the packing ring 29.

[0051] In this embodiment, the packing ring 29 is made of flexible graphite.

[0052] In this embodiment, the main steam valve stem 24 extends out of the main cavity 12 through the valve stem mounting hole 154 on the valve cover body 141 and connects to the actuator valve stem 25. The packing ring 29 is sealed between the outer periphery of the main steam valve stem 24 and the inner wall of the valve stem mounting hole 145 by the valve stem sleeve 210 and the threaded sleeve 211, which prevents steam leakage. The valve stem sleeve 210 and the threaded sleeve 211 are fixed to the valve cover body 141 by threads and are riveted to prevent loosening.

[0053] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a pre-opening valve structure 3 provided in this embodiment. Wherein, as... Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the low-pressure main steam valve also includes a pre-opening valve structure 3. The pre-opening valve structure 3 includes: a valve disc inner bore 31, a steam inlet 32, a sealing rod 33, and a gland 34. The valve disc inner bore 31 is located on the valve disc 22. The valve disc inner bore 31 includes a small-diameter section and a large-diameter section connected to each other. The small-diameter section communicates with the valve seat cavity 11. The large-diameter section communicates with the main cavity 12. The steam inlet 32 ​​is located on the valve disc 22. The steam inlet 32 ​​communicates between the main cavity 12 and the side wall of the large-diameter section of the valve disc inner bore 31. The sealing rod 33 is connected to the end of the main steam valve stem 24 and is coaxial with the main steam valve stem 24. The diameter of the sealing rod 33 is larger than the diameter of the main steam valve stem 24. The diameter of the sealing rod 33 is larger than the diameter of the small-diameter section of the valve disc inner bore 31. The sealing rod 33 is located in the large-diameter section. The free end of the sealing rod 33 abuts against the junction of the large-diameter section and the small-diameter section to form the pre-opening valve sealing surface 36. The gland 34 is fitted onto the main steam valve stem 24. The gland 34 is sealingly connected between the inner wall of the large-diameter section and the outer wall of the main steam valve stem 24. The gland 34 is fixed to the valve disc 22 by a locating pin 35.

[0054] In this embodiment, the free end of the sealing rod 33 abuts against the connection between the large-diameter section and the small-diameter section to form the pre-opening valve sealing surface 36; the gland 34 and the valve butterfly 22 are fixed by threads and then positioned and prevented from loosening by the positioning pin 35.

[0055] In this embodiment, the sealing rod 33 is located in the receiving space enclosed by the large-diameter section and the gland 34, and when the main steam valve stem 24 is actuated, the sealing rod 33 can move relative to this receiving space to form a pre-opening valve stroke L.

[0056] When the low-pressure main steam valve is closed, the valve disc 22 and the inner wall of the throat 26 of the valve seat 21 come into contact with each other to form a sealing surface 27; the free end of the sealing rod 33 abuts against the connection between the large-diameter section and the small-diameter section to form a pre-opening valve sealing surface 36 (i.e., the pre-opening valve structure is in the closed state). At this time, the steam in the main cavity 12 cannot enter the valve seat cavity 11 through the valve core 2;

[0057] When the low-pressure main steam valve actuator operates, it overcomes the spring force by pulling the main steam valve stem 24 through the actuator valve stem 25, which in turn pulls the sealing rod 33, causing the sealing rod 33 to move towards the gland 34, thereby causing the pre-opening valve sealing surface 36 to fail. At this time, a small amount of steam in the main chamber 12 can enter the large-diameter section of the valve disc inner hole 31 through the steam inlet hole 32, and then enter the valve seat cavity 11 through the small-diameter section, so as to reduce the pressure difference before and after the valve disc 22 (i.e., the pressure difference between the main chamber 12 and the valve seat cavity 11), so that the low-pressure main steam valve actuator can achieve the function of opening the valve disc 22 with a smaller force;

[0058] When the sealing rod 33 abuts against the gland 34, the opening stroke of the pre-opening valve structure is completed. The actuator valve stem 25 continues to pull the main steam valve stem 24, which can pull the valve disc 22, causing the sealing surface 27 between the valve seat 21 and the valve disc 22 to fail, thus opening the valve.

[0059] When the low-pressure main steam valve actuator does not operate, the spring quickly presses the main steam valve stem 24 to the closed position. At this time, the valve disc 22 and the inner wall of the throat 26 come into contact, forming a sealing surface 27; the free end of the sealing rod 33 abuts against the connection between the large-diameter section and the small-diameter section, forming a pre-opening valve sealing surface 36. This achieves rapid closure of the low-pressure main steam valve and prevents the feedwater pump turbine from overspeeding.

[0060] The low-pressure main steam valve in this embodiment also includes a pre-opening valve structure 3. When the low-pressure main steam valve is pulled open by the low-pressure main steam valve actuator, the pre-opening valve stroke L is opened first, so that a small amount of steam in the main chamber 12 enters the valve seat chamber 12 through the steam inlet 32. This can reduce the pressure difference between the front and rear sides of the valve butterfly 22, thereby reducing the pulling force required to open the valve butterfly 22.

[0061] This embodiment also provides a feedwater pump turbine, which includes the aforementioned low-pressure main steam valve.

[0062] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 of the low-pressure main steam valve is made of forged components such as seamless steel pipes, end caps, and flanges, which are mature products on the market. The valve body is assembled by machining, welding, and heat treatment. At the same time, a flow divider 16 is provided in the valve body 1, which can solve the problem of large vibration of the main steam valve stem 24 caused by the turbulent flow of steam in the main cavity 12 after the steam enters from the inlet flange 15. It can also reduce valve pressure loss and improve steam utilization efficiency.

[0063] The feedwater pump turbine provided in this embodiment has the low-pressure main steam valve of the above embodiment, and therefore has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the aforementioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The above are only preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
