Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turbine diaphragm measurement technology, specifically a turbine diaphragm size measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of the steam turbine's flow path, the dimensional accuracy of the diaphragm directly affects steam flow efficiency, unit operational stability, and energy conversion efficiency. During turbine manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, precise measurements of multiple parameters, including the diaphragm's radial dimensions, axial clearance, aperture, and flatness, are necessary to ensure compliance with design standards.

[0003] In the turbine manufacturing process, accurate measurement of diaphragm dimensions is the cornerstone of ensuring product quality meets stringent design standards. The complexity of the manufacturing process dictates the diversity and high precision requirements of diaphragm dimensions. From the thickness, length, and width of the diaphragm to key parameters such as aperture and throat width of the steam passage, dimensional errors in any aspect can be amplified during turbine operation, affecting overall turbine performance. For example, if the diaphragm aperture deviates from the design value, it will cause poor fit between the rotor blades and the diaphragm, leading to additional friction and energy loss.

[0004] Existing measurement methods mostly use manual handheld measuring tools for single-point measurement. The equipment is low-cost and readily available, making it suitable for scenarios with limited budgets. It is flexible and convenient to operate, and can adapt to the measurement needs of complex structures and confined spaces. It has low environmental requirements and can be used normally in on-site working conditions such as dust and temperature fluctuations. It facilitates instant reading and verification, and can quickly verify the accuracy of data. It is simple to maintain, has a low technical threshold, and can be operated by ordinary personnel after simple training.

[0005] While the existing technologies described above offer flexible and portable measurement methods that can adapt to various complex and confined spaces, are easy to maintain, have a low barrier to entry, and are relatively easy for staff to learn, manual handheld measuring instruments for single-point measurements are inefficient and require multiple positioning adjustments to complete full-parameter testing. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to subjective errors, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of measurement benchmarks. Additionally, the lack of automated data recording and analysis functions means that measurement results must be manually recorded and organized, which can easily lead to data errors and omissions, significantly reducing work efficiency. Therefore, we need a turbine diaphragm dimension measuring device. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A turbine diaphragm size measuring device includes a workbench 1, a slide groove 2 is provided on the top of the workbench 1, and a measuring component 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 2. A positioning component 5 is installed on the top of the workbench 1.

[0027] The measuring component 3 includes a slider 301, a fixed frame 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 301, and a stepper motor 303 is installed on one side of the fixed frame 302. The output end of the stepper motor 303 is detachably connected to a horizontal lead screw 304 through a coupling. A moving block 305 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal lead screw 304. A telescopic rod 306 is provided at the bottom of the moving block 305, and a measuring gripper 307 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 306. A balance bar 308 is provided inside the fixed frame 302.

[0028] The positioning component 5 includes a servo motor 501. The output end of the servo motor 501 is detachably connected to a support frame 502 via a coupling. A fixing block 503 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 502. A gripping plate 504 is provided on one side of the fixing block 503. A threaded rod 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the gripping plate 504. A clamping plate 506 is provided at one end of the threaded rod 505.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the sliding of the slider 301 and the sliding groove 2 can drive the fixed frame 302 to move left and right, thereby adjusting the left and right position. The stepper motor 303 drives the horizontal lead screw 304 to move the moving block 305 precisely, which can adjust the measurement position back and forth. With the help of the telescopic rod 306 to adjust the height of the measuring jaw 307, the automated continuous measurement of the partition body 6 can be realized, replacing the traditional manual single-point measurement mode. The measurement data can be transmitted to the measurement display mechanism 4 in real time for recording and analysis. This not only reduces the subjective error caused by manual operation, but also greatly improves the measurement efficiency. Multiple parameter detection can be completed with only one positioning, effectively solving the problems of easy error in manual recording and long time consumption for full parameter detection.

[0030] Specifically, a measuring display mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the workbench 1, and a partition body 6 is installed inside the positioning component 5.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the measurement and display mechanism 4 can receive and display the partition size data collected by the measurement component 3 in real time, realize the visualization of data and automated recording, and at the same time, the partition body 6 is stably clamped by the positioning component 5 as the measurement object, providing a clear target carrier for the measurement work.

[0032] Specifically, there are two sets of sliders 301, with two sliders 301 in each set slidably connected in two slide grooves 2, and the fixed frame 302 can move left and right along the length of the worktable 1 through the cooperation of the sliders 301 and the slide grooves 2.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the cooperation between the two sets of sliders 301 and the slide groove 2 provides stable guiding support for the fixed frame 302, ensuring that the fixed frame 302 remains stable during left and right movements, thereby driving the measuring component 3 to accurately adjust the measuring position in the length direction of the worktable 1, adapting to the measurement needs of partitions of different sizes.

[0034] Specifically, the output coupling of the stepper motor 303 is coaxially connected to one end of the horizontal lead screw 304. The horizontal lead screw 304 is horizontally installed inside the fixed frame 302, and the axis of the horizontal lead screw 304 is parallel to the width direction of the worktable 1. One end of the horizontal lead screw 304 passes through the interior of the moving block 305 and is threaded with it. The moving block 305 can reciprocate along the horizontal lead screw 304 under the drive of the stepper motor 303.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the rotational motion of the stepper motor 303 is transmitted to the horizontal lead screw 304 via the coupling. The rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the moving block 305 by the threaded engagement between the horizontal lead screw 304 and the moving block 305, thereby realizing the precise displacement adjustment of the measuring component 3 in the width direction of the worktable 1 and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement position.

[0036] Specifically, the measuring gripper 307 forms a lifting structure with the moving block 305 via the telescopic rod 306, and the telescopic rod 306 is vertically installed between the moving block 305 and the measuring gripper 307. The outer wall of the telescopic rod 306 is provided with scale markings for displaying the amount of extension.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 306 can drive the measuring gripper 307 to achieve vertical height adjustment, so that it can contact the measuring points at different height positions of the partition body 6. The scale markings on the outer wall make it easy for operators to intuitively understand the telescopic amount and assist in accurately controlling the height position of the measuring gripper 307.

[0038] Specifically, the servo motor 501 is installed in the groove opened on the top of the worktable 1, and the output end of the servo motor 501 coincides with the central axis of the support frame 502, which can drive the support frame 502 to rotate. There are two fixing blocks 503, and the two fixing blocks 503 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the support frame 502.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, when the servo motor 501 drives the support frame 502 to rotate, since its output end coincides with the central axis of the support frame 502, it can ensure that the support frame 502 rotates smoothly, and drive the fixed block 503 to achieve circumferential angle adjustment. The two symmetrically arranged fixed blocks 503 can provide clamping and positioning for the two partition bodies 6 at one time, ensuring the continuity of the measurement work.

[0040] Specifically, the grip 504 forms a fixed structure with the clamping plate 506 through the threaded rod 505, and the shape and size of the external thread of the threaded rod 505 match the shape and size of the internal thread of the fixing block 503. The top of the fixing block 503 is provided with a groove, and the clamping plate 506 can move horizontally along the inside of the fixing block 503.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, rotating the grip 504 can drive the threaded rod 505 to rotate within the fixed block 503. The threaded engagement pushes the clamping plate 506 to move horizontally along the groove inside the fixed block 503, thereby achieving the clamping and loosening of the partition body 6 of different sizes, thus enabling the partition body 6 to be measured stably.

[0042] Working Principle: When using this turbine diaphragm size measuring device, firstly, the diaphragm body 6 to be measured is manually placed in the groove of the fixing block 503. The grip 504 is rotated, and through the threaded engagement of the threaded rod 505 with the fixing block 503, the clamping plate 506 is moved horizontally until it tightly clamps the diaphragm body 6, completing the fixed positioning. Next, through the engagement of the slider 301 with the slide groove 2, the fixing frame 302 is pushed to move left and right along the length of the worktable 1, adjusting the measuring component 3 to a suitable left or right position. Then, the stepper motor 303 is started, and its output rotational motion is transmitted to the horizontal lead screw 304 via a coupling. When the horizontal lead screw 304 rotates, it drives the moving block 305 to reciprocate along the horizontal lead screw 304, thereby driving the measuring... The measuring jaw 307 moves precisely in the width direction of the worktable 1. At the same time, by adjusting the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 306, the height of the measuring jaw 307 is changed so that it is aligned with the partition body 6. When the measuring jaw 307 reaches the designated measurement position, the thickness of the partition body 6 can be measured. The measurement data is transmitted to the measurement display mechanism 4 in real time, visualized on the touch screen, and automatically recorded. After the measurement is completed, the servo motor 501 is started, and its output end drives the support frame 502 to rotate and change the position of the two fixed blocks 503. This allows another partition body 6 to be measured to be moved to the measurement position, so that continuous measurement can be performed. This completes all the work. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] 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 defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
