(14) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the heat exchanger 5, the electromagnetic pump 51 and the expansion joint 52 are all mounted on the inner side wall of the mounting cavity 14. Two connecting ports of the electromagnetic pump 51 are respectively a liquid inlet port and a liquid outlet port, wherein the liquid inlet port of the electromagnetic pump 51 communicates with the one end of the cooling pipeline 6, and the liquid outlet port of the electromagnetic pump 51 is connected with one end of the expansion joint 52. Two connecting ports of the heat exchanger 5 are respectively a liquid inlet port and a liquid outlet port, wherein the liquid inlet port of the heat exchanger 5 is connected with the other end of the expansion joint 52, and the liquid outlet port of the heat exchanger 5 communicates with the other end of the cooling pipeline 6. Wherein, the expansion joint 52 can compensate for the increased amount of deformation caused by expansion of the metal due to the increase in temperature.

(15) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the cooling pipeline 6 is filled with cooling liquid. The cooling pipeline 6, the electromagnetic pump 51, the expansion joint 52 and the heat exchanger 5 constitute a closed liquid circulation loop. In the working process of starting the electromagnetic pump, the electromagnetic pump 51 can drive the cooling liquid in the cooling pipeline 6 to flow. After the cooling liquid discharged from the liquid outlet port of the electromagnetic pump 51 successively passes through the expansion joint 52, the heat exchanger 5 and the cooling pipeline 6, the other end of the cooling pipeline 6 enters the liquid inlet port of the electromagnetic pump 51. It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, the cooling liquid in the cooling pipeline 6 is low-melting-point liquid metal or alloy at normal temperature, such as gallium or gallium-based alloy.

(16) As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the turbine casing 1 comprises a first casing shell 11 and a second casing shell 12. The first casing shell 11 and the second casing shell 12 are fixed in welding and other manners. A first annular sub-cavity and a first mounting sub-cavity are provided in the first casing shell 11, and an second annular sub-cavity and a second mounting sub-cavity are provided in the second casing shell 12, wherein the annular cavity 13 is composed by the first annular sub-cavity and the second annular sub-cavity together, and the mounting cavity 14 is composed by the first mounting sub-cavity and the second mounting sub-cavity together.

(17) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, an inner guide ring 2 and a plurality of guide vanes 3 are further mounted in the turbine casing 1, the guide vanes 3 are fixedly connected to the inner guide ring 2, and the guide vanes 3 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner guide ring 2.

(18) When the inner guide ring 2 and the guide vanes are mounted, the inner guide ring 2 and the guide vanes 3 are contracted in a low temperature state in a cold mounting manner. Then, the inner guide ring 2 and the guide vanes 3 are moved into the turbine casing 1, and then the inner guide ring 2 and the guide vanes 3 are expanded under the effect of gradually recovering temperature. Moreover, the guide vanes 3 are inserted into the mounting grooves 16 in one-to-one correspondence, and then the purpose of mounting the inner guide ring 2 and the guide vanes 3 is achieved.

(19) As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a plurality of mounting grooves 16 are formed in the inner peripheral surface of the turbine casing 1. The mounting grooves 16 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the guide vanes 3, and the ends, away from the inner guide ring 2, of the guide vanes 3 are plug-fitted with the mounting grooves 16 in one-to-one correspondence. The inner wall of each mounting groove 16 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 17, and the sealing gasket 17 abuts against the guide vane 3. By arranging the sealing gasket 17, on one hand, the stability of inserting the guide vane 3 into the mounting groove 16 can be enhanced, and on the other hand, the rigid contact between the guide vane 3 and the side wall of the mounting groove 16 can be reduced.

(20) An accommodating cavity 4 is provided in the guide vane 3. The cooling pipeline 6 corresponding to each guide vane 3 is connected with two vertical connecting pipes 61. An avoidance hole 15 for the two vertical connecting pipes 6 to pass through are formed in the turbine casing 1, and the vertical connecting pipes 61 both communicate with the accommodating cavity 4. The cooling liquid in the cooling pipeline 6 can flow into the accommodating cavity 4 through one of the vertical connecting pipes 61, and the cooling liquid in the accommodating cavity returns into the cooling pipeline 6 through the other of the vertical connecting pipes 61.

(21) As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the accommodating cavity 4 comprises a first cooling cavity 41, a second cooling cavity 42 and a third cooling cavity 43. The first cooling cavity 41 and the second cooling cavity 42 are arranged on the side, away from the inner guide ring 2, of the guide vane 3, and the second cooling cavity 42 is arranged on the side, close to the inner guide ring 2, of the guide vane 3. Two connecting holes 46 are further formed in the guide vane 3, wherein one connecting hole 46 communicates with the first cooling cavity 41, and the other connecting hole 46 communicates with the second cooling cavity 42.

(22) Two through holes 171 are formed in the sealing gasket 17. The two through holes 171 in the guide vane 3 are formed in one-to-one correspondence with the connecting holes 46, and two vertical connecting pipes 61 corresponding to the guide vane 3 pass through the two through holes 171 in one-to-one correspondence. The first cooling cavity 41 communicates with one vertical connecting pipe 61 through the connecting hole 46, and the third cooling cavity 43 communicates with the other vertical connecting pipe 61 through the connecting hole 46. By arranging the through hole 171 in the sealing gasket 17, the sealing performance between the vertical connecting pipe 61 and the connecting hole 46 is enhanced.

(23) A plurality of first circulation channels 31 and a plurality of second circulation channels 32 are further formed in a guider. One end of each first circulation channel 31 communicates with the first cooling cavity 41, and the other end of each first circulation channel 31 communicates with the second cooling cavity. One end of each second circulation channel 32 communicates with the second cooling cavity 42, and the other end of each second circulation channel 32 communicates with third cooling cavity 43.

(24) The implementation principle of the first embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: in the process of cooling the turbine casing 1 and the guide vanes 3, the electromagnetic pump 51 is turned on so that the electromagnetic pump 51 drives the cooling liquid in the cooling pipeline 6 to flow. The flowing cooling liquid can take away most of heat in the turbine casing 1. After the cooling liquid flows through the heat exchanger 5, the heat exchanger 5 can take away most of heat in the cooling liquid, so that the purpose of cooling the turbine casing 1 is achieved. When the flowing cooling liquid flows through the guide vane 3, the cooling liquid enters the first cooling cavity 41 through one of the vertical connecting pipes 61, then the cooling liquid passes through the first circulation channel 31 and the second circulation channel 32, successively enters the second cooling cavity 42 and the third cooling cavity 43, and then returns to the cooling pipeline 6 through the third cooling cavity 43 and the other vertical connecting pipe 61, so that the guide vane 3 plays a cooling effect. Moreover, through the first cooling cavity 41, the first circulation channel 31, the second cooling cavity 42, the second circulation channel 32 and the third cooling cavity 43, the flow path of the cooling liquid in the guide vane 3 is increased, so that the cooling effect of the cooling liquid on the guide vane 3 is increased.

Embodiment II

(25) As shown in FIG. 6, the difference between the second embodiment of the present disclosure and the first embodiment of the present disclosure only lies in the guide vanes 3. In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the accommodating cavity 4 in the guide vane 3 comprises a plurality of fourth cooling cavities 44 and a plurality of fifth cooling cavities 45. In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the fourth cooling cavities 44 is preferably five, the number of the fifth cooling cavities 45 is preferably four; and moreover, the fourth cooling cavities 44 are all located on the side, away from the inner guide ring 2, of the guide vane 3, and the fifth cooling cavities 45 are all located on the side, close to the inner guide ring 2, of the guide vane 3.

(26) Two connecting holes 46 are further formed in the guide vane 3. The two connecting holes 46 communicate with the two fourth cooling cavities 44 in one-to-one correspondence. Corresponding to two vertical connecting pipes 61 in the guide vane 3, the two vertical connecting pipes 61 communicate with the two fourth cooling cavities 44 are in one-to-one correspondence through the connecting holes 46.

(27) A plurality of third circulation channels 33 are further formed in the guide vane 3. One of the third circulation channels 33 communicates with the fourth cooling cavity 44. The other end of the third circulation channel 33 communicates with the fourth cooling cavity 45. The cooling liquid introduced into the guide vane 3 can successively pass through the fourth cooling cavities 44 and the fifth cooling cavities 45.

(28) The implementation principle of the second of the present disclosure is as follows: in order to facilitate the enhancement of the cooling effect after the cooling liquid is introduced into the guide vane 3, the cooling liquid introduced into the guide vane 3 through the vertical connecting pipe 61 firstly flows into one of the fourth cooling cavities 44, then flows into one of the fifth cooling cavities 45 under the action of one of the third circulation channels 3, then flows into the other fourth cooling cavity 44 through the other third circulation channel 33, and then flows in the guide vane 3 according to the same rule until the cooling liquid is introduced into the last fourth cooling cavity 44 and returns the cooling pipeline 6 through the vertical connecting pipe 61. Therefore, the path through which the cooling liquid flows in the guide vane 3 is increased, so that the residence time of the cooling liquid in the guide vane 3 is increased, and the cooling effect after the cooling liquid is introduced into the guide vane 3 is enhanced.

Embodiment III

(29) As shown in FIG. 7, the difference between the third embodiment of the present disclosure and the first embodiment of the present disclosure lies in the manner of communicating the first cooling cavity 41, the second cooling cavity 42 and the third cooling cavity 43 in the guide vane 3. In third embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of fourth circulation channels 34 are further formed in the guide vane 3, wherein one end of all the fourth circulation channels 34 communicate with the second cooling cavity 42, and the other ends of one part of the fourth circulation channels 34 communicate with the first cooling cavity 41, and the other ends of the other part of the fourth circulation channels 34 communicate with the third cooling cavity 43.

(30) The implementation principle of the third embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: in order to facilitate the enhancement of the cooling effect after the cooling liquid is introduced into the guide vane 3, after the cooling liquid enters the first cooling cavity 41 through the vertical connecting pipe 61, the cooling liquid successively enters the second cooling cavity 42 and the third cooling cavity 43 under the action of the multiple fourth circulation channels 34, and therefore the residence time of the cooling liquid in the guide vane 3 can be enhanced, and the cooling effect after the cooling liquid is introduced into the guide vane 3 is achieved. Moreover, since the fourth circulation channels 34 are distributed along the circumferential direction of the guide vane 3, the cooling temperature on the circumferential side of the guide vane 3 is relatively uniform, thus, the possibility that the expansion ratios of the guide vanes 3 is different due to the large temperature difference between different parts of the guide vane 3, resulting in bulging or deforming possibility of the guide vanes 3.

Embodiment IV

(31) As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the difference between the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure and the first embodiment of the present disclosure only lies in the connection type of the guide vanes 3 with the inner guide ring and the turbine casing 1. In the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of first connecting grooves 18 are formed in the inner wall of the turbine casing 1, and the first connecting grooves 18 are T-shaped grooves. The multiple guide vanes 3 are all fixedly connected with first connecting blocks 35, and the body of the first connecting block 35 is a T-shaped block. The first connecting blocks 35 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first connecting grooves 18, and the body of the first connecting block 35 abuts against the side wall of the first connecting groove 18 through the sealing gasket 17.

(32) Wherein a connecting sub-groove 1 is formed in the first casing shell 11, and a connecting sub-groove 2 is formed in the second casing shell 12. The first connecting groove 18 is formed by the first connecting sub-groove and the second connecting sub-groove together, and the first connecting block 35 is matched with the first connecting groove 18. When the guide vanes 3 are mounted, the first connecting block 35 is firstly slidably mounted on the inner wall of the first connecting sub-groove, and then the second casing shell 12 is moved, so that the second connecting sub-groove on the second cassette shell 12 is matched with the first connecting block 35, and the purpose of fixing the first connecting block 35 is achieved.

(33) Each guide vane 3 is further fixedly connected with a second connecting block 36. A plurality of second connecting grooves 21 are formed on the inner guide ring 2. The second connecting blocks 36 are slidably mounted on the inner walls of the second connecting grooves 21 in one-to-one correspondence, and the second connecting block 36 slidably mounted on the inner wall of the second connecting groove 21 can be fixed with the inner guide ring 2 in welding and other manners.

(34) The implementation principle of the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: the guide vanes 3 and the inner guide ring 2 are conveniently mounted in the turbine casing 1 by using the bodies of the first connecting groove 18 and the second connecting groove 21.

(35) The above embodiment is only a better embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not limit the protection range of the present disclosure, so that equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present disclosure should be covered in the protection range of the present disclosure.
