Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turbine runner assembly and manufacturing technology, specifically an adjustable spacing runner turning device. Background Technology

[0002] Mixed-flow turbine generator sets, as core equipment in the hydropower energy field, have runners as key components for energy conversion. These runners are characterized by their large size and concentrated weight, with large runners often having diameters ranging from several meters to over ten meters and weighing up to hundreds of tons. During the runner manufacturing process, multiple critical steps, from blade welding and weld flaw detection to surface grinding and static balance testing, require the runner to be turned over multiple times to ensure the machining accuracy and testing effectiveness of each surface. The safety and efficiency of these turning operations directly affect the runner's production quality and manufacturing cycle.

[0003] Currently, the most common method for turning wheel slewing machines in the industry is aerial turning technology. This technology mainly utilizes a combination structure consisting of a balancing beam, a set of lifting clamps, and a seamless ring-shaped steel wire rope. However, it still has certain limitations. The balance adjustment range is strictly limited by the structural design of the balancing beam and the specifications of the lifting clamps, allowing only fine adjustments within a fixed stress range. This can easily lead to situations where adjustments become stuck or ineffective, preventing the wheel from turning smoothly. Furthermore, it cannot be flexibly combined and adapted according to the wheel's size, weight, and structural form. The installation and disassembly process is cumbersome, affecting operational efficiency, and wear and tear after long-term use requires regular maintenance and replacement, increasing operating costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an adjustable spacing type of rotating wheel turning device to solve the problems of complex adjustment and small adjustable range in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0012] The nut bracket is welded to the balance beam, the nut bracket is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, the end of the adjusting screw is welded to the slide plate, and the fixed pulley is installed on the slide plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the wire rope is a seamless ring-shaped wire rope.

[0015] Furthermore, the distance between the wheel and the ground and the balance beam is not less than 300mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the offset is 100-150mm.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0031] The main hook connecting device 1 is connected to the top of the balance beam 2 by a pin. The crane main hook hooks the main hook connecting device 1. The pulley adjustment device 4 is fixed on both sides of the balance beam 2. The fixed pulley 3 is installed on the pulley adjustment device 4 and its position is adjusted by the pulley adjustment device 4.

[0032] The lifting base 7 is welded to both sides of the turntable 12. The turning lifting 6 is connected to the lifting base 7 by bolts. The lifting pulley 8 is connected to the bearing of the turning lifting 6. One end of the wire rope 5 is hung on the fixed pulley 3, and the other end is hung on the lifting pulley 8.

[0033] The axis of the fixed pulley 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the lifting pulley 8, and the center connecting line of the lifting pulley 8 is offset in the horizontal direction from the combined center of gravity formed by the turning lifting 6, the lifting base 7, and the rotating wheel 12.

[0034] More specifically: the pulley adjustment device 4 includes a sliding plate 9, a nut bracket 10, and an adjusting screw 11;

[0035] The nut bracket 10 is welded to the balance beam 2. The nut bracket 10 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 11. The end of the adjusting screw 11 is welded to the slide plate 9. The fixed pulley 3 is installed on the slide plate 9.

[0036] More specifically: the wire rope 5 is a jointless annular wire rope.

[0037] More specifically: the wire rope 5 is kept vertical during use to prevent it from slipping out of the groove of the lifting pulley 8 and causing an accident.

[0038] More specifically: When using this device to lift and turn the wheel 12, the lifting base 7 is attached to the outer curved surface of the lower ring of the wheel 12 and welded together.
