[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, a hydraulic device for starting a heavy-duty steam compressor includes a bracket 1, on which a hydraulic motor 2 and a transfer plate 3 are fixedly mounted. A small gear 4 is coaxially mounted on the transfer plate 3. The output end of the hydraulic motor 2 is connected to a perforated connector 5. The output end of the perforated connector 5 is axially fixedly connected to a drive shaft 6. The input end of an overrunning clutch 7 is connected to the drive shaft 6 via a key. The output end of the overrunning clutch 7 is coaxially fixedly connected to a large gear 8 that meshes with the small gear 4. The two ends of the transfer plate 3 are respectively provided with a main motor connection end and a diaphragm coupling connection end.

[0020] In this embodiment, hydraulic oil with a certain pressure and flow rate is supplied to the hydraulic motor 2 through the hydraulic station, driving the hydraulic motor 2 to rotate. The power is transmitted to the transmission shaft 6 through the plum blossom connector 5, and then to the large gear 8 through the overrunning clutch 7. The large gear 8 meshes with the small gear 4, driving the main motor and the heavy-duty steam compressor to rotate at low speed. After rotation, the compressor sliding bearing forms a dynamic pressure oil film. Then the main motor is started. When the speed of the main motor exceeds the speed of the hydraulic motor 2 calculated according to the transmission ratio, the power of the main motor and the hydraulic motor 2 is disengaged.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the drive shaft 6 is mounted on a bearing housing 9 via a deep groove bearing, and the bearing housing 9 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1; the drive shaft 6 is mounted via a deep groove bearing.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with an adjuster for adjusting the position of the bearing seat 9 on the bracket 1.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the adjuster includes a first adjusting block 10 and a first adjusting bolt 11. The bearing seat 9 has a first large through hole 12. A first locking bolt 13 passes through the first large through hole 12 from the side of the bearing seat 9 facing away from the bracket 1 and engages with a small threaded hole on the upper surface of the bracket 1. The outer diameter of the shank of the first locking bolt 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the first large through hole 12. The first adjusting block 10 is located on the side wall of the bracket 1 and has a threaded hole A14. The axis of the threaded hole A14 is parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1. The first adjusting bolt 11 is screwed into the threaded hole A14 from the side of the first adjusting block 10 facing away from the bearing seat 9 and abuts against the side wall of the bearing seat 9. During adjustment, the first locking bolt 13 is first loosened. By screwing the first adjusting bolt 11 into the threaded hole A14, the bearing seat 9 is pushed, thereby fine-tuning its position on the bracket 1. After adjustment, the first locking bolt 13 is tightened.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the pinion 4 is fixed to the adapter plate 3 by a shrink sleeve. The adapter plate 3 is driven by the pinion 4.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the hydraulic motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the support 15, which has a second large through hole 18. The upper surface of the bracket 1 has a threaded hole B. A second locking bolt 21 passes through the second large through hole 18 from the side of the support 15 facing away from the bracket 1 and engages with the threaded hole B. The support 15 is then locked to the bracket 1 by the second locking bolt 21.

[0026] Preferably, a hydraulic oil distribution block is installed on the hydraulic motor 2.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, a second adjusting block 16 is provided on the side wall of the bracket 1. The second adjusting block 16 has a threaded hole C17. A second adjusting bolt 19 passes through the threaded hole C17 from the side of the second adjusting block 16 facing away from the bracket 1 and abuts against the side wall of the support 15. With this configuration, the position of the support 15 on the bracket 1 is adjusted by the length of the second adjusting bolt 19 screwed into the threaded hole C17, thereby adjusting the optimal mating position between the hydraulic motor 2 and the drive shaft 6.
