Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turbine turning gear technology, specifically a manual safety turning gear device for a turbine. Background Technology
[0002] After a turbine shutdown due to a malfunction or a normal shutdown, it is necessary to use an electric turning gear to ensure that the turbine rotors continue to rotate continuously or regularly, thus eliminating rotor thermal bending. When the turning gear loses power, manual turning is required to ensure continuous or regular rotor rotation and prevent rotor thermal bending, which could lead to rotor damage. The turbine turning gear installation location is often structurally complex, making manual operation inconvenient and prone to accidents. Furthermore, the turning gear is compact, and the handwheel provided by the manufacturer is small, making manual operation inconvenient and labor-intensive.
[0003] For example, patent application number 202420915915.4 discloses a manual safety turning device for a steam turbine. This utility model discloses a manual safety turning device for a steam turbine, including a movable base with a standing platform on the movable base. An auxiliary turning mechanism is provided on one side of the standing platform. The auxiliary turning mechanism includes a support frame with a first sprocket on the support frame. A rocker arm is provided on the first sprocket, and a chain is wound around the first sprocket. The chain winds around a second sprocket, which is located on the turning wheel. This utility model has a simple structure and novel design. It features a movable and liftable standing platform, allowing the operator to stand on the platform for better force application during turning. The auxiliary turning mechanism allows another operator to assist, enabling two people to work together to complete a long turning process, reducing the operator's burden and ensuring the turning effect. However, when connecting the steam turbine rotor, this manual safety turning device requires frequent control of the turning wheel to move and adjust its height to match the rotor height, which affects the connection speed of the manual turning wheel.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure to propose a manual safety turning device for steam turbines. Utility Model Content

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.
[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a manual safety turning device for a steam turbine includes a trolley 1. A lifting platform 101 is mounted on the upper surface of the trolley 1. A sliding guide rail 102 is mounted on the inner front surface of the lifting platform 101. A sliding support frame 2 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the sliding guide rail 102. A support platform 201 is mounted on the bottom surface of the sliding support frame 2. A drive disc 202 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the support platform 201. A threaded drive rod 203 is mounted on the upper surface of the drive disc 202. A sliding sleeve 204 is mounted on the upper surface of the sliding support frame 2. A sliding support rod 205 is slidably installed on the inner surface of 04. In this technical solution, through the threaded drive rod 203, after the trolley 1 with the lifting platform 101 approaches the steam turbine, the sliding height of the sliding support rod 205 can be precisely controlled by the screw drive rod 203, so that the drive hand plate 206 can be accurately and quickly positioned with the rotor, improving the connection speed of the equipment. Through the setting of the sliding guide rail 102, when the drive hand plate 206 is connected to the rotor through the chain, the chain can be tightened by sliding.
[0022] Furthermore, the sliding support rod 205 and the threaded drive rod 203 are connected by a helical connection, and the upper surface of the sliding support rod 205 is provided with a drive hand plate 206. With this technical solution, the turbine rotor can be driven to rotate manually by setting the drive hand plate 206.
[0023] Furthermore, a handwheel 209 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the upper surface of the sliding support frame 2, and a second drive disc 208 is provided on the lower surface of the handwheel 209. A connecting belt 207 is provided on the outer surface of the second drive disc 208, and the first drive disc 202 and the second drive disc 208 are connected by the connecting belt 207. In this technical solution, the threaded drive rod 203 can be rotated by the connecting belt 207 through the setting of the handwheel 209.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a support block 301 is provided on the right side surface of the sliding support frame 2, and a sliding rod 302 is slidably installed through the surface of the support block 301. With this technical solution, the sliding support frame 2 can be fixed by the insertion friction of the sliding rod 302, so as to avoid the drive hand plate 206 from shaking during operation and improve the working stability of the equipment.
[0025] Furthermore, a pull ring 303 is provided on the upper surface of the sliding rod 302, and a compression spring 304 is provided on the outer surface of the sliding rod 302. A guide groove 3 is provided on the right side of the sliding guide rail 102, and the guide groove 3 and the sliding rod 302 are configured to slide and engage. In this technical solution, the compression spring 304 can be used to fix the sliding rod 302 by means of its elastic reset characteristic.
[0026] Working principle: When using this turbine manual safety turning device, firstly, the lifting platform 101 is moved close to the turbine by the trolley 1. Then, according to the height of the drive handwheel 206 and the rotor, the handwheel 209 is rotated to drive the drive disc 208 to rotate. The connecting belt 207 on the outer surface of the drive disc 208 drives the drive disc 202 to rotate, causing the threaded drive rod 203 to rotate. Simultaneously, the sliding support rod 205 slides along the inner surface of the sliding sleeve 204 through a screw drive to adjust the drive handwheel 206. The height of the chain is adjusted to match the rotor height. After adjustment, the chain is connected to the outer surface of the drive handwheel 206. After connection, the sliding rod 302 is pulled upward to release the restriction on the sliding support frame 2. The chain is then tightened by sliding along the sliding guide rail 102. After tightening, the sliding rod 302 is released, and its compression spring 304 will reset to drive the sliding rod 302 to insert into the guide groove 3 to fix the sliding support frame 2. Finally, the drive handwheel 206 is manually rotated to rotate the rotor. This is the working principle of the manual safety turning device for the steam turbine.
