Abstract
A steam turbine includes a rotor, a casing, a partition plate, and a center guide pin. The center guide pin has a positioning portion. In a state of being attached to a pin attachment portion formed in one of the casing and the partition plate, the positioning portion is disposed in a groove portion formed in the other of the casing and the partition plate. The positioning portion includes a plurality of abutment portions capable of abutting on an inner side surface of the groove portion, around a pin axis. The plurality of abutment portions is formed to have different horizontal distances from the pin axis.
Claims6
A steam turbine comprising:
- a rotor rotatable around an axis,
- a casing that extends in a circumferential direction of the rotor and is vertically divided in a horizontal plane,
- a partition plate that is disposed between the casing and the rotor, extends in the circumferential direction of the rotor, and is vertically divided by the horizontal plane;
- and
- center guide pins that:
- position the partition plate with respect to the casing in a horizontal direction from above or below the horizontal plane, and
- each include a penetration hole at which a screw having a male screw portion is configured to penetrate a corresponding one of the center guide pins, wherein
- either one of the following is satisfied:
- an outer surface of the partition plate includes groove portions disposed respectively at a vertically upward position and a vertically downward position with respect to the axis and extending in a direction of the axis, an inner surface of the casing facing the outer surface of the partition plate includes pin attachment portions disposed respectively at a vertically upward position and a vertically downward position with respect to the axis, the male screw portion is inserted to the casing, and each of the center guide pins is fixed in all directions to the casing by the male screw portion such that a rotation angle of the each of the center guide pins is fixed with respect to the casing, or
- the inner surface of the casing includes groove portions disposed respectively at the vertically upward position and the vertically downward position with respect to the axis and extending in the direction of the axis, the outer surface of the partition plate facing the inner surface of the casing includes pin attachment portions disposed respectively at the vertically upward position and the vertically downward position with respect to the axis, the male screw portion is inserted into the partition plate, and each of the center guide pins is fixed in all directions to the partition plate by the male screw portion such that a rotation angle of the each of the center guide pins is fixed with respect to the partition plate,
- a rotation angle around a pin axis is changed by rotating the center guide pins and the pin attachment portions respectively,
- each of the center guide pins includes a positioning portion disposed inside each of the groove portions in a state of being attached to each of the pin attachment portions,
- the positioning portion includes abutment portions each configured to abut against an inner side surface of each of the groove portions, the pin attachment portions being disposed around the pin axis,
- the abutment portions are formed so that distances in the horizontal direction from the pin axis are different respectively
- each of the center guide pins includes a pin base portion that is formed in a circular disc shape centered on the pin axis, and
- each of the pin attachment portions includes:
- a concave portion that accommodates the pin base portion to be rotatable about the pin axis, and
- a female screw portion that is formed on an extension line of the pin axis and configured to accept the male screw portion of the screw.
