Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifugal large-scale unit installation technology, and in particular to an interstage air seal scraping tool for centrifugal large-scale units. Background Technology
[0002] Whether the interstage gas seal clearance of a large compressor unit meets the standard is an important guarantee for the normal operation of the compressor, which is reflected in improving compressor efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the compressor, and extending the service life of the compressor.
[0003] During the installation of existing large-scale generating units, manual scraping and adjustment using tools at the maintenance site are required to ensure the interstage air seal clearance. However, manual scraping suffers from low efficiency, low precision, and susceptibility to damage, leading to high maintenance costs and impacting normal unit operation. Especially after prolonged use, severe wear of the scrapers necessitates frequent replacements, increasing labor costs and time, thus adding to the maintenance workload. During manual air seal scraping, operators may come into contact with rotating rotors or other moving parts, potentially resulting in mechanical injuries such as crushing, cutting, or impact. Improper tool use or poor tool maintenance can damage tools, causing injury to operators. Repetitive and monotonous work can lead to operator distraction or fatigue, increasing the probability of accidents. Due to the high degree of uncertainty in manual operation, various unforeseen situations may occur, such as improper tool use or operational errors, all of which can lead to serious safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a gas seal scraping tool for large centrifugal units. Utility Model Content

[0040] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base plate provided in one embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is a side view of the tool clamping fixture in this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a top view of the tool clamping fixture in this embodiment. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the scraper structure including the V-shaped blade head in Embodiment 1. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the scraper structure including a flat-head blade in this embodiment. (Combined with...) Figures 1-5 The interstage gas seal scraping tool for centrifugal large units provided in this embodiment includes a base plate 100, a tool clamping fixture 200, and a scraper 300.
[0041] The base plate 100 serves as the mounting base for the entire tool. It has a rectangular plate structure with two first threaded holes 110 machined on its surface. The length and width of the base plate 100 can be customized according to the model of the unit to be maintained and the specific dimensions of the cylinder cover to ensure good installation stability and compatibility.
[0042] The tool clamping fixture 200 is mounted on the base plate 100 by fasteners (not shown). The tool clamping fixture 200 includes an integrally formed angle adjustment plate 210 and a tool slot 220. The angle adjustment plate 210 has a circular hole 211 and an arc-shaped groove 212. The arrangement of the circular hole 211 and the arc-shaped groove 212 precisely corresponds to the two first threaded holes 110 on the base plate 100. In this embodiment, the central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped groove 212 is 30 degrees. In other embodiments, the central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped groove 212 can also be set to other angles so that the angle adjustment plate 210 can obtain other angle adjustment ranges. This embodiment does not make specific limitations.
[0043] Two M6 single-ended bolts are used as fasteners, passing through the circular hole 211 and the arc-shaped groove 212 respectively, and screwed into the first threaded hole 110 of the base plate 100. When the bolts are loosened, the angle adjustment plate 210 can rotate and adjust within a range of ±15 degrees around the center of the circular hole 211 to adapt to the irregular shape of the cover in the cylinder, so that the base plate 100 can maintain the maximum contact area and enhance operational stability. After adjusting to the required angle, tightening the bolts will securely lock the angle adjustment plate 210 onto the base plate 100.
[0044] The tool slot 220 is located on the side of the angle adjustment plate 210 away from the base plate 100 and is used to accommodate the scraper 300. The scraper 300 consists of a handle 310 and a cutting head 320. The cutting head 320 is a V-shaped cutting head or a flat-head cutting head used in this embodiment. When a V-shaped cutting head is used, its V-shaped opening design can effectively hold the thin-walled gas seal (usually about 0.3 mm thick) during scraping operations, preventing it from bending and shifting, thereby ensuring scraping accuracy and reducing subsequent correction work. The cutting head 320 is made of high-speed steel or cemented carbide, which has high hardness, high wear resistance and good red hardness, making it suitable for low-speed cutting conditions and significantly improving scraping efficiency and tool life. In other embodiments, other materials can also be used to make the scraper 300, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.
[0045] Before actual use, the thickness of the working part of the cutter head 320 can be manually ground and finely adjusted according to the spacing and outer diameter of the air seal teeth of the specific unit in order to optimize the cutting effect.
[0046] The tool holder 310 is detachably inserted into the tool slot 220. In order to achieve secure fastening and precise feeding of the scraper 300, the tool clamping fixture 200 also integrates a clamping mechanism and a feed adjustment mechanism 230.
[0047] The clamping mechanism includes a third threaded hole 221 located on the side wall of the tool slot 220 and a clamping set screw (not shown) that mates with it. In this embodiment, an M6 single-ended set screw is used as the clamping set screw. After the scraper 300 is placed in the appropriate position, tightening the clamping set screw will securely lock the handle 310 of the scraper 300 in the tool slot 220 from the side, preventing it from moving during the scraping process.
[0048] The feed adjustment mechanism 230 includes a second threaded hole 231 located at the end of the tool slot 220 (i.e., the end away from the cutter head 320) and a feed set screw (not shown) that mates with it. In this embodiment, an M6 single-ended set screw is used as the feed set screw. The axial extension direction of the second threaded hole 231 is consistent with the extension direction of the tool slot 220, i.e., the axial direction of the scraper 300. After loosening the clamping set screw, by rotating the feed set screw, its front end can push the handle 310 of the scraper 300, causing the entire scraper 300 to move slightly forward (towards the cutter head 320) along the tool slot 220, thereby achieving precise and controllable adjustment of the scraping depth. After adjustment, the clamping set screw can be tightened again.
[0049] The interstage gas seal scraping tool for large centrifugal units provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0050] 1. In the past, the main tools for scraping gas seals were saw blades or high-speed steel. The scraping tool provided in this embodiment uses high-speed steel or cemented carbide as the cutting tool material. This material has high heat resistance and is suitable for low-speed cutting, which increases scraping efficiency. It can quickly and evenly scrape off the material on the surface of the gas seal, significantly improving work efficiency compared to manual operation.
[0051] 2. The scraping tool provided in this embodiment allows for adjustment of the scraping depth and angle of the scraper 300, adapting to the maintenance needs of different unit models. The scraping tool provided in this embodiment can precisely adjust and control the feed amount through the feed adjustment mechanism 230, ensuring the scraping depth and surface smoothness, thereby improving the sealing performance of the gas seal. Furthermore, precise control of the scraping amount can reduce material waste and improve material utilization.
[0052] 3. The scraping tool in this embodiment can reduce the physical labor of operators, reduce the risk of fatigue and occupational diseases caused by long-term repetitive actions, reduce the direct contact between operators and dangerous parts, thereby reducing the risk of accidental injury.
[0053] 4. The scraping tool in this embodiment adopts a replaceable scraper 300 design, which can adapt to air seals of different materials and shapes. Different scraping needs can be met by changing different blades or adjusting the angle and feed rate.
[0054] In summary, the interstage gas seal scraping tool for large centrifugal units provided in this embodiment has high safety, flexible adjustment device, strong adaptability, improves scraping efficiency and accuracy, reduces maintenance time and cost, and is suitable for various models of centrifugal compressors, steam turbines, etc.
