Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical structure technology, and in particular relates to a disassembly and assembly device for the inner cylinder rotor of an offshore natural gas compressor. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of high-end equipment manufacturing for offshore platform natural gas compressor units, existing centrifugal compressor products adopt a horizontally split main structure. The newly developed cylindrical integral structure model consists of three core modules: a fully enclosed forged cylindrical casing, detachable and slidable diaphragm assemblies, and a cantilevered rotor system. The assembly process requires the pre-balanced and calibrated rotor and diaphragm assemblies to be axially inserted into the cylindrical chamber. However, traditional vertical assembly processes have revealed technical bottlenecks in this compact natural gas compressor application scenario. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a new assembly process and equipment that can accurately position the rotor and diaphragm assemblies in six degrees of freedom, adapt to the modular and rapid assembly / disassembly requirements of the limited operating space on offshore platforms, and possess multi-dimensional constraint compensation functions.

[0003] The existing assembly method is vertical assembly. This assembly technology, a typical process for traditional cylindrical structure products, relies on vertical suspension to achieve axial alignment and installation of internal components with the outer cylinder. However, this method creates an unlimited surface area between the rotor assembly and the partition assembly, leading to uncontrolled axial displacement of the rotor system during assembly. This dynamic instability directly causes the following technical risks: 1. Contact friction damage occurs between the diaphragm sealing teeth and the rotor journal surface; 2. Interference and collision occur between the moving blades of the impeller and the stationary parts.

[0004] The aforementioned failure modes will severely affect the unit's aerodynamic performance and operational reliability, posing significant potential assembly quality risks. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a disassembly and assembly device for the inner cylinder rotor of an offshore natural gas compressor, including a housing positioning part, one end of which is connected to an arc connecting plate.

The mounting plate is circular and has several third threaded holes on its outer circumference. Two symmetrical pin holes are provided on both ends of the outer circle of the mounting plate along a diameter direction. The through holes are aligned with the pin holes and are fixed by positioning pins. Pressure blocks are provided on both sides of the mounting plate at the positioning pin fixing points on the top of the base, and the pressure blocks limit the position of the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder includes an oil pump and an oil cylinder. The oil cylinder has two oil injection holes, front and rear, and has a push-pull effect, achieving versatility in disassembly and assembly. The flange face of the oil cylinder is connected to the third threaded hole of the mounting plate by a fourth bolt, thereby connecting and fixing the oil cylinder to the oil cylinder support seat.

The cylinder has two oil injection holes at the front and rear, which have a push-pull effect and realize the versatility of disassembly and assembly. The flange face of the cylinder is connected to the third threaded hole 4-5 of the mounting plate 4-2 by the fourth bolt, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the cylinder and the cylinder support 4.

[0034] The movable joint 6 has a structure similar to the hinged seat. One end of the movable joint 6 near the cylinder support 4 has a threaded hole that mates with the push rod of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 5. The other end of the movable joint 6 has a first groove at its center, with holes on both sides of the first groove. One end of the adjusting block 8 is welded to the top plate 9 of the auxiliary device, and the other end of the adjusting block 8 has a hole that fits into the first groove.

The adjusting block 8 passes through the guide wheel assembly 7 and connects to the movable joint 6. The adjusting block 8 has a second groove and a fourth threaded hole. The guide wheel assembly 7 is placed in the second groove and fixed to the adjusting block 8 by bolts.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model includes the following steps. S1: After installing the rotor and inner partition into the outer partition, lock the upper and lower outer partition assemblies, and install the lifting ring onto the inner cylinder rotor. Lift the inner cylinder rotor as a whole to the assembly site. At this time, the cylindrical casing has been leveled and fixed completely.

[0036] S2: Weld the transition connecting plate 1-1 in the housing positioning part 1 to one end of the square tube 1-2, weld the end cap 1-3 to the other end of the square tube 1-2, weld the bottom plate 3-1 to the end cap 1-3 at a 90° angle, attach the reinforcing rib plate 1-4 to the stress position, and install one end of the transition connecting plate 1-1 onto the connecting plate.

[0037] S3: Install the mounting plate 4-2 and pressure block 4-3 in the cylinder support 4 onto the base 4-1, align the holes of the base 4-1 and the square tube 1-2, and use the pin to install the whole onto the square tube 1-2.

[0038] S4: Weld the top plate 9 of the auxiliary device to the adjusting block 8 at a 90° angle. Pass the adjusting block 8 through the guide wheel assembly 7, ensuring that the groove of the adjusting block 8 is locked in the guide wheel assembly 7. Insert the screw from the upper hole of the guide wheel assembly 7 and screw it into the threaded hole of the adjusting block 8. Connect the adjusting block 8 to the movable joint 6.

[0039] S5: Connect and fix the cylinder flange face to the mounting plate 4-2 of the cylinder support 4, and connect the push rod of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 5 through the mounting plate 4-2 to the movable joint 6.

[0040] S6: Connect and fix the arc connecting plate 2 to the non-motorized end face of the housing, ensuring that the arc surface of the arc connecting plate 2 is flush with the arc surface of the inner cavity of the housing.

[0041] S7: Hoist the inner cylinder rotor assembly to the non-motorized end of the machine housing, and slowly move the inner cylinder rotor assembly laterally into the machine housing until the arc surface of the inner cylinder rotor is on the same vertical line as the inner cavity surface of the machine housing. Slowly push the inner cylinder rotor assembly in and stop after contact.

[0042] S8: Readjust the position of the cylinder support seat 4 according to the actual position, and adjust the height of the tail end balance support seat 3 to ensure that the bolts achieve the support effect.

[0043] S9: Install the oil pump onto the oil cylinder and perform pressurization. Pressurization should be slow and stepwise until the top plate 9 of the auxiliary device is in contact with the rear end face of the inner cylinder rotor. Measure the movement gap using a laser rangefinder to form "real gap feedback" of the inner cylinder rotor's movement, improving the accuracy and quality control of the movement process. Adjust the screws on the pulley block and the tail bolts according to the gap until the top plate 9 of the auxiliary device is fully in contact. After contact, apply pressure. During the movement, pay close attention to the feeding situation. Remove the inner cylinder rotor hoisting position when it is about to interfere with the machine casing as the feeding distance increases. After the first push, pull it out to check the contact position. Only after confirming there are no issues can it be assembled into place.

[0044] S10: After assembly, tighten the bolts connecting the housing and the inner cylinder rotor, disassemble the auxiliary device and perform corresponding tests.

[0045] S11: When disassembling, install the auxiliary device according to the above method, pull it outward with the hydraulic cylinder, and gradually install the lifting lugs on the inner cylinder rotor for hoisting and disassembly.

[0046] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are: 1. The device of this utility model meets the modular and rapid assembly and disassembly requirements of the limited working space of offshore platforms, has multi-dimensional constraint compensation function in the assembly process, improves assembly efficiency and assembly quality, and avoids major quality hazards that may exist in the assembly process.

[0047] 2. This utility model realizes the feasibility of rapid disassembly and assembly of the inner cylinder rotor of the compact natural gas compressor on offshore platforms, breaking the traditional assembly method and effectively meeting the requirements of high-quality assembly and reliable operation of the unit.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it.
