Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a steam turbine cylinder with a leak-proof ring, belonging to the field of steam turbine technology. Background Technology
[0002] The steam turbine cylinder is the core component of a steam turbine, responsible for converting the thermal energy of high-temperature, high-pressure steam into mechanical energy. It is typically divided into high-pressure, intermediate-pressure, and low-pressure cylinders (multi-cylinder series design). The materials used must withstand high temperatures and pressures (such as cast steel or alloy steel), and it includes the rotor, blades, diaphragms, etc. Steam drives the blades to rotate, which in turn drives the rotor to output power. Steam expands and performs work as it passes through cylinders of different pressure levels, with pressure and temperature decreasing progressively, converting thermal energy into kinetic energy. The high-pressure cylinder withstands the initial high temperature (up to 600°C or higher), while the low-pressure cylinder handles large flows of low-temperature steam.
[0003] During the operation of a steam turbine, the cylinder is a key component, and its performance directly affects the efficiency, reliability, and maintenance costs of the entire unit. Most existing steam turbine cylinders are one-piece fixed structures. The components inside the cylinder are prone to wear under long-term exposure to high-temperature, high-pressure steam. Once worn, the sealing gaps increase, leading to a significant increase in steam leakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a steam turbine cylinder with a leak-proof ring.
[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions: This utility model provides a steam turbine cylinder with a leak-proof ring, comprising: The upper cylinder and the lower cylinder are fixedly connected by bolts. The upper cylinder consists of an upper outer cylinder body and an upper inner cavity. The upper outer cylinder body has two steam inlets that penetrate the upper outer cylinder body and the upper inner cavity. The lower cylinder consists of a lower outer cylinder body and a lower inner cavity. The lower cylinder matches the upper cylinder. The lower inner cavity wall corresponding to the steam inlets is provided with a steam buffer zone made of high-temperature material. The upper inner cavity and the lower inner cavity are correspondingly distributed and interconnected to form a cavity. A leak-proof ring, a rotor mounting seat and a shaft seal ring are respectively installed in the cavity formed by the upper inner cavity and the lower inner cavity.
[0006] In this technical solution, the leak-stop ring is a stepped collar structure, and the leak-stop ring has a sealing thread inside.
[0007] In this technical solution, the leak-stopping ring is provided with a first leak-stopping groove and a second leak-stopping groove.
[0008] In this technical solution, the leak-proof ring is embedded in the inner wall of the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder, and the leak-proof ring is sealed and fitted with the upper inner cavity and the lower inner cavity.
[0009] In this technical solution, the rotor mounting base is a semi-circular ring structure, and the annular surface of the rotor mounting base is provided with several stationary blades.
[0010] In this technical solution, the rotor mounting seat shaft center is provided with a rotor mounting groove.

[0012] In this technical solution, both the upper pressure balance zone and the lower pressure balance zone are spherical groove structures.
[0013] In this technical solution, the shaft seal ring has a stepped groove inside, with the first shaft seal groove facing the cavity and the second shaft seal groove facing out of the cavity.
[0014] In this technical solution, the inner diameter of the first shaft seal groove is larger than the inner diameter of the second shaft seal groove, and the difference between the inner diameters of the first shaft seal groove and the second shaft seal groove is 10mm.
[0015] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of this utility model.
[0016] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows: The aforementioned steam turbine cylinder with a leak-proof ring employs a detachable leak-proof ring, rotor mounting base, and shaft seal ring, facilitating maintenance and shortening maintenance time. The leak-proof ring utilizes a three-layer leak-proof structure, exhibiting better wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, ensuring consistent sealing performance. The structure of the shaft seal ring and rotor mounting base effectively reduces steam leakage during rotation. The internal cavity features a steam buffer zone with welded high-temperature material, and spherical rotating steam lower and upper pressure balance zones, effectively rotating the high-temperature steam within the cavity and improving the turbine's thermal efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the steam turbine cylinder with a leak-proof ring includes: The upper cylinder 1, lower cylinder 2, leak-proof ring 3, rotor mounting seat 4, and shaft seal ring 5 are assembled together by bolts. The upper cylinder 1 consists of an upper outer cylinder body 1-3 and an upper inner cavity 1-4, with two steam inlets 1-1 penetrating the upper outer cylinder body 1-3 and the upper inner cavity 1-4 at the upper end. The lower cylinder 2 consists of a lower outer cylinder body 2-3 and a lower inner cavity 2-4, which are matched with the upper cylinder 1. The lower inner cavity 2-4, corresponding to the steam inlet 1-1, has a steam buffer zone 2-1 made of high-temperature welded material on its cavity wall. The upper inner cavity 1-4 and the lower inner cavity 2-4 are closed together, and the leak-proof ring 3, rotor mounting seat 4, and shaft seal ring 5 are installed in a common slot. In this technical solution, the leak-stopping ring 3 is a stepped collar structure, which has a sealing thread 3-1, a first leak-stopping groove 3-2 and a second leak-stopping groove 3-3 inside, for a total of three layers of leak-stopping structure.
[0026] In this technical solution, the rotor mounting base 4 is a semi-circular ring structure, with several stationary blades 4-1 on its annular surface, making the temperature gradient of each level more gradual. The rotor mounting base 4 has a rotor mounting groove 4-2 at its shaft center, and the groove is oil-sealed.
[0027] In this technical solution, the shaft seal ring 5 has a stepped groove inside. The first shaft seal groove 5-1 faces the cavity, and the second shaft seal groove 5-2 faces outward. The inner diameter of the first shaft seal groove 5-1 is 10mm larger than that of the second shaft seal groove 5-2, which effectively prevents steam leakage.
[0028] In this technical solution, the upper inner cavity 1-4 and the lower inner cavity 2-4 are respectively provided with an upper pressure balance zone 1-2 and a lower pressure balance zone 2-2 with a reflux structure at their rear ends. These are spherical groove structures, and the steam inside the rotating cavity is refluxed.
[0029] This utility model adopts a detachable leak-proof ring 3, rotor mounting seat 4, and shaft seal ring 5, which facilitates maintenance and shortens maintenance time. The leak-proof ring 3 adopts a three-layer leak-proof structure, which has better wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and can always maintain a good sealing effect. The structure of shaft seal ring 5 and rotor mounting seat 4 effectively reduces steam leakage. The cavity is equipped with a steam buffer zone 2-1 with high-temperature material welded on, and a spherical rotating steam lower pressure balance zone 2-2 and upper pressure balance zone 1-2, which effectively rotate the high-temperature steam in the cavity and improve the thermal efficiency of the steam turbine.
[0030] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
