Abstract
Description
A device and working method for removing bolts from a steam turbine rotor coupling. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a device and method for removing bolts from a turbine rotor coupling, belonging to the field of hardware tool technology. Background Technology
[0002] The turbine rotor coupling is a key component of the turbine. It is mainly responsible for connecting the various rotors of the turbine generator set and effectively transferring the power of the turbine to the generator. In the working process of the turbine, the coupling plays a vital role in connecting the various sections of the turbine rotor and the generator rotor and realizing the transmission of torque.
[0003] When disassembling a steam turbine rotor coupling, multiple connecting bolts need to be removed. However, after prolonged use, the bolts and nuts become tightly bound together due to long-term operation and vibration, increasing the difficulty of disassembly. This tightness is even more pronounced when the bolts are corroded or contaminated with oil. Current disassembly methods, after unscrewing the nuts, often involve using an external hammer to knock one end of the bolt out of the coupling's mounting hole, as the bolt body remains inserted. This method is physically demanding and doesn't easily remove the bolt body, resulting in low disassembly efficiency. Furthermore, hammering can deform or damage the bolt, rendering it unusable. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A device for removing bolts from a turbine rotor coupling includes a crossbeam. A fixed support is connected to the left end of the crossbeam. An internal hexagonal socket is fixedly installed on the right side of the fixed support. A movable support and a fixed mounting base are respectively provided on the right end of the crossbeam. The movable support is located to the left of the fixed mounting base. An internal hexagonal hydraulic wrench is provided on the left side of the movable support.

The left end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder passes through the fixed mounting base and is connected to a connecting end plate at its end. A buffer spring is abutting between the connecting end plate and the right side of the fixed mounting base. The lower end of the movable support base is provided with an opening slot, and the connecting end plate abuts against the internal hexagonal hydraulic wrench through the opening slot.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, operating handles are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder, respectively.

In order to improve strength, the fixed support 20 is a three-dimensional support structure consisting of a main vertical plate 21 and a side inclined plate 22 welded together in a Y-shape.
[0029] A hexagonal socket seat 30 is fixedly provided on the right side of the fixed support 20. The hexagonal socket seat 30 is used to fasten the hexagonal end of the screw of the bolt, which plays a fixed and limiting role. In order to allow the screw to be smoothly pushed out of the coupling bolt hole and have room to move, the depth of the hexagonal socket seat 30 is greater than the thickness of the hexagonal end of the screw of the bolt.
[0030] A movable support seat 40 and a fixed mounting seat 50 are respectively provided on the right end of the crossbeam 10. The movable support seat 40 is located to the left of the fixed mounting seat 50. A slide groove 11 is provided on the left side of the crossbeam 10. The upper end of the movable support seat 40 is embedded in the slide groove 11 to maintain a sliding connection to the left and right. A return spring 12 for the movable support seat 40 to move to the right and reset is installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the slide groove 11. A slide rod 51 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed mounting seat 50. The left end of the slide rod 51 extends into the inner cavity of the slide groove 11 and is fixed to the left end wall of the slide groove 11. A slide hole 41 is provided on the upper end of the movable support seat 40 to slide and engage with the slide rod 51.
[0031] In order to improve the strength of the movable support base 40, the movable support base 40 is a three-dimensional support structure consisting of a main upright plate 21 and a side inclined plate 22 welded together in a Y-shape, and a connecting column 23 connects the main upright plate 21 and the side inclined plate 22.
[0032] In order to improve the installation strength of the fixed mounting base 50, a reinforcing rib plate 52 is fixedly connected between the left side of the fixed mounting base 50 and the four side walls of the fixed mounting base 50.
[0033] The left side of the movable support base 40 is equipped with an internal hexagonal hydraulic wrench 60. After the internal hexagonal hydraulic wrench 60 is connected to an external hydraulic station, it can be rotated by hydraulic drive to achieve high torque rotation, loosening the nut from the screw, saving time and effort, and improving operating efficiency.
[0034] A hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70 is installed on the fixed mounting base 50. The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70 is drivenly connected to the movable support base 40. Specifically, a flange mounting base 54 is connected to the right side of the fixed mounting base 50 through several support ribs 53. The hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70 is fixedly installed on the flange mounting base 54. The left end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70 passes through the fixed mounting base 50 and is connected to a connecting end plate 71. A buffer spring 72 is abutted between the connecting end plate 71 and the right side of the fixed mounting base 50. By setting the buffer spring 72, when the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70 pushes out the push screw, there is a contact buffer process to avoid impact collision causing damage to the screw end. The lower end of the movable support base 40 is provided with an opening slot 42. The connecting end plate 71 abuts against the internal hexagon hydraulic wrench 60 through the opening slot 42. Operating handles 73 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 70, respectively. Example
