The casing 4 is vertically divided by a horizontal plane Sh including the axis Ar. In other words, the casing 4 includes an upper half casing (a half casing) 41 disposed above the axis Ar of the rotor 2, and a lower half casing (a half casing) 42 disposed below the axis Ar of the rotor 2.

(23) As illustrated in
(24) On an inner peripheral surface 41a of the upper half casing 41 facing the groove portion 312, a pin attachment portion 412 to which the center guide pin 7 can be attached is formed. The pin attachment portion 412 includes a concave portion 412a into which a pin base portion 71 (which will be described below) of the center guide pin 7 can be inserted, and a female screw portion 412b into which a male screw portion 73a of a fastening member 73 for fixing the center guide pin 7 to the upper half casing 41 is screwed.
(25) The groove portion 312 may be formed on the inner peripheral surface 41a of the upper half casing 41, as shown in
(26) As illustrated in
(27) The vertical position defining portion 5 includes a regulating piece 51 and a bolt 52. An attachment concave portion 41b for attaching the vertical position defining portion 5 is formed in the upper half casing 41, and an insertion concave portion 31b into which the end portion of the regulating piece 51 is inserted is formed in the upper half partition plate 31. The regulating piece 51 can be fixed using a bolt 52 inside the attachment concave portion 41b. An end portion of the regulating piece 51 protrudes from the attachment concave portion 41b toward the upper half partition plate 31. The end portion of the regulating piece 51 is inserted into the insertion concave portion 31b. The insertion concave portion 31b restricts movement of the end portion of the inserted regulating piece 51 in the vertical direction Dv.
(28) The center guide pin 7 performs positioning of the upper half partition plate 31 with respect to the upper half casing 41 in the horizontal direction Dh perpendicular to the axis Ah (hereinafter simply referred to as the horizontal direction Dh). The vertical position defining portion 5 is disposed between the uppermost portion of the upper half partition plate 31 and the upper half casing 41, and between the lowermost portion of the lower half partition plate 32 and the lower half casing 42, respectively. In other words, the center guide pins 7 are disposed on a vertical line Sv (see
(29)
(30) As illustrated in
(31) The pin base portion 71 is accommodated in the concave portion 412a of the pin attachment portion 412. When attaching the pin base portion 71 to the pin attachment portion 412, it is possible to select a rotation angle about the pin axis O1. The pin base portion 71 in this first embodiment is formed in a disc shape centered on the pin axis O1, and the concave portion 412a of the pin attachment portion 412 forms a disc-shaped space slightly larger than the pin base portion 71.
(32) Here, the aforementioned pin axis O1 is an axis extending from the axis Ar in the vertical direction Dv, and the pin axis O1 exemplified in the first embodiment overlaps the central axis of the hole 412c at which a screw (a fastening member) for attaching the center guide pin 7 to the upper half casing 41 penetrates the center guide pin 7.
(33) The positioning portion 72 is disposed inside the groove portion 312 of the upper half casing 41. In the positioning portion 72 in the first embodiment, an outline of a cross section perpendicular to the pin axis O1 is formed in a tubular shape of a regular octagon. The central axis O2 of the regular octagon of the positioning portion 72 extends in parallel to the pin axis O1 and is offset in a direction perpendicular to the pin axis O1.
(34) In the positioning portion 72, a distance between the parallel sides constituting the regular octagon is formed to be slightly smaller than the width of the above-described groove portion 312. Therefore, the positioning portion 72 can be disposed inside the groove portion 312. Two surfaces (abutment portions to be described later) constituting the parallel sides of the regular octagon simultaneously abut on the two inner side surfaces 312a of the groove portion 312, respectively. Therefore, the positioning portion 72 can move in the extending direction of the groove portion 312, and the movement of the groove portion 312 in the width direction is regulated.
(35) The positioning portion 72 includes a plurality of abutment portions 74 that can abut on the inner side surface 312a of the groove portion 312, around the pin axis O1. The plurality of abutment portions 74 in the first embodiment are planes that form each side of the aforementioned regular octagon. In this embodiment, the plurality of abutment portions 74 include the eight abutment portions 74 of abutment portions 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 746, 747, and 748.
(36) Since the central axis O2 of the positioning portion 72 is offset from the pin axis O1, the plurality of abutment portions 74 are formed such that the distances from the pin axis O1 to the abutment portions 741, 742, 743, 744, and 745 (in other words, distances in the direction perpendicular to the pin axis O1) are different from each other. Similarly, the distances from the pin axis O1 to the abutment portions 741, 748, 747, 746, and 745 are also formed to be different from each other.
(37) In the center guide pin 7 illustrated in the center of
(38) Here, in this embodiment, the abutment portions 74 disposed at line-symmetrical positions on the basis of a virtual straight line passing through the pin axis O1 and the central axis O2 have the same distance from the pin axis O1.
(39) Next, a method for positioning the partition plate with respect to the casing in the horizontal direction using the center guide pin, which is part of the method for manufacturing the steam turbine, will be described.
(40)
(41) First, as illustrated in
(42) Next, a measuring process (step S02) of measuring the gaps G1 and G2 between the upper half casing 41 and the upper half partition plate 31 is performed. In the measuring process, as illustrated in
(43) Thereafter, a determining process (step S03) of determining whether the sizes of the gap G1 and the gap G2 measured in the measuring process are within a preset target range is performed. In the determining process, it is determined whether both the aforementioned sizes of the gap G1 and the gap G2 are within a target range of a preset size.
(44) In the determining process, when it is determined that the sizes of the gap G1 and the gap G2 are within the target range (OK), for example, by finally fastening the fastening member 73 (
(45) In the determining process, if it is determined that each of the sizes of the two gaps G1 and G2 is not within the target range (NG), the process proceeds to an adjusting process (step S05).
(46) In the adjusting process, the rotation angle of the center guide pin 7 is changed around the pin axis O1. For example, when the gap G1 is larger than the target range and the gap G2 is smaller than the target range, the rotation angle of the center guide pin 7 is changed so that the gap G1 decreases and the gap G2 increases. More specifically, among the plurality of abutment portions 74 formed in the positioning portion 72 of the center guide pin 7, the abutment portion 74 having a large distance from the pin axis O1 abuts on the inner side surface 312a of the groove portion 312 on the side closer to the gap G1. Further, in the adjusting process, after extracting the upper half partition plate 31 from the upper half casing 41 and changing the rotation angle of the center guide pin 7, the upper half partition plate 31 is disposed in the upper half casing 41 again.
(47) After the adjusting process is performed, the process returns to the aforementioned measuring process. Further, the above-described determining process, adjusting process, and measuring process are repeated until each of the size of the gap G1 and the size of the gap G2 fall within the target range.
(48) Positioning of the lower half partition plate 32 with respect to the lower half casing 42 in the horizontal direction Dh is also performed by the same process as the aforementioned positioning of the upper half casing 41 and the upper half partition plate 31. Therefore, a detailed description of the positioning of the lower half partition plate 32 with respect to the lower half casing 42 in the horizontal direction Dh will be omitted.
(49) Further, a first assembly in which the upper half partition plate 31 is positioned with respect to the upper half casing 41 and a second assembly in which the lower half partition plate 32 is positioned with respect to the lower half casing 42 are assembled by placing the first assembly on the second assembly from above, in a state in which the rotor shaft 21 is disposed therein. That is, the steam turbine includes the first assembly and the second assembly.
(50) Therefore, according to the above-described first embodiment, by changing the rotation angle of the center guide pin 7 attached to the pin attachment portion 412 around the pin axis O1, it is possible to change the abutment portion 74 caused to abut on the inner side surface 312a of the groove portion 312. Since the plurality of abutment portions 74 formed in the positioning portion 72 have different horizontal distances from the pin axis O1, the distance in the horizontal direction from the pin axis O1 to the inner side surface 312a of the groove portion 312 is changed. That is, it is possible to adjust the position of the partition plate 3 with respect to the casing 4 in the horizontal direction Dh perpendicular to the axis Ar, depending on the rotation angle of the center guide pin 7, without changing the type of the center guide pin 7.
(51) As a result, the number of components can be reduced and the burden on the assembling worker can be reduced.
(52) In addition, since the positioning portion 72 is formed in a regular octagonal tubular shape, a side portion of a regular octagon can be used as the abutment portion 74 of the positioning portion 72. Furthermore, since the central axis O2 of the regular octagon is offset with respect to the pin axis O1 in the horizontal direction Dh, it is possible to easily form a plurality of abutment portions 74 having different horizontal distances from the pin axis O1.
(53) Although the case in which the side portion of the regular octagon is the abutment portion 74 has been described as an example, a corner portion formed between adjacent sides of the regular octagon may be used as the abutment portion 74. Further, although the case in which the cross section of the positioning portion 72 is a regular octagon has been described as an example, the cross section thereof may be a regular polygon such as an equilateral triangle, a regular tetragon, and a regular hexagon. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning portion 72 may be a simple polygonal shape as long as the distance of the abutment portion 74 from the pin axis O1 is different at the plurality of abutment portions 74. However, in the case of a regular polygon having an even number of corner portions, since two sides formed to be parallel to the two inner side surfaces 312a of the groove portion 312 can be made to simultaneously abut, the positioning stability can be improved.
Second Embodiment
(54) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This second embodiment differs from the above-described first embodiment only in the shape of the positioning portion of the center guide pin. Therefore, the same parts as those of the above-described first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations thereof will be omitted.
(55)
(56) As illustrated in
(57) The positioning portion 272 is disposed inside the groove portion 312 of the upper half casing 41. An outline of the cross section of the positioning portion 272 of the second embodiment, which is perpendicular to the pin axis O1, is formed in a circular tubular shape, that is, a cylindrical shape. The central axis O2 of the positioning portion 272 extends in parallel to the pin axis O1 and is offset in a direction perpendicular to the pin axis O1. A diameter of the circular portion of the positioning portion 272 is formed to be slightly smaller than a width of the above-described groove portion 312. Therefore, the positioning portion 272 can be disposed inside the groove portion 312.
(58) The positioning portion 272 includes a plurality of abutment portions 74X that can abut on the inner side surface 312a of the groove portion 312 around the pin axis O1. The abutment portion 74X in the second embodiment forms a curved surface forming the aforementioned cylinder. In other words, the abutment portion 74X is formed in a linear shape along the pin axis O1, and the linear abutment portions 74X are disposed in a circular shape around the central axis O2 of the positioning portion 272, thereby forming the curved surface.
(59) Since the central axis O2 of the positioning portion 72 is offset from the pin axis O1, the plurality of abutment portions 74X have the different distances in the horizontal direction Dh from the pin axis O1 to each abutment portion 74X (in other words, the distances in the direction perpendicular to the pin axis O1).
(60) Here, the two abutment portions 74X arranged to be point-symmetrical across the central axis O2 abut on the respective inner side surfaces 312a of the groove portions 312 at the same time. Therefore, the positioning portion 272 can move in the extending direction of the groove portion 312, and the movement of the groove portion 312 in the width direction is regulated.
(61) Therefore, according to the above-described second embodiment, a circular outer peripheral portion can be used as the abutment portion 74X of the positioning portion 272. Therefore, it is possible to easily form a plurality of abutment portions 74X having different distances in the horizontal direction Dh from the pin axis O1. In addition, since the circular outer peripheral portion is used as the abutment portion 74X, the distance in the horizontal direction Dh from the pin axis O1 can be changed steplessly. Therefore, it is possible to more finely adjust the position of the partition plate 3 with respect to the casing 4 in the horizontal direction Dh perpendicular to the axis Ar.
(62) The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and the design can be changed within the scope that does not depart from the gist thereof.
(63) For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the case in which the pin base portions 71 of the center guide pins 7 and 207 are formed in a disc shape has been described. However, the pin base portions 71 of the center guide pins 7 and 207 are not limited to a disc shape.
(64) Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the case in which the pin attachment portion 412 is formed in the casing 4 and the groove portion 312 is formed on the partition plate 3 has been described. However, the pin attachment portion 412 may be formed in the partition plate 3, and the groove portion 312 may be formed on the casing 4.
(65) Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the countersunk screw-like fastening member 73 is exemplified as the fastening member 73, but the shape of the fastening member 73 is not limited to the countersunk screw shape. Further, the fastening member 73 may be a member capable of fastening the center guide pins 7 and 207 to the casing 4 or the partition plate 3 without using a screw action.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
(66) The present invention can be applied to a steam turbine, a center guide pin, and a method for manufacturing a steam turbine. According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of components and to reduce the burden on the assembling worker.
