The present disclosure relates to a gentle start-up device, a hydraulic generator test flatform and a hydraulic generator set, and particularly to a gentle start-up device which overcomes the static frictional torque of the hydraulic generator set during small water flow, and substantially prevents fans of a water turbine from damage of large water flow during large water flow.
Referring to
When the small-type hydraulic generator set is test, a flow signal and a pressure signal of a water supply end, and voltage signals, current signals, temperature signals and rotational speed signals of the small-type hydraulic generator set are measured to be data of performance test of the small-type hydraulic generator set during power generation at different rotational speed. However, when the water flow is small, the small-type hydraulic generator set cannot be started up, because the static frictional torque cannot be overcome; when the water flow is large, the fans of the water turbine may be damaged, because the large water flow often attacks and damages the fans of the water turbine. In the prior art, generally the generator and the water turbine are tested separately in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, but the test data of the generator and the water turbine which are tested separately are different from the test data of the hydraulic generator set which is tested integrally.
In view of this, it is necessary to provide a gentle start-up device, to solve the foregoing problems.
A main objective of the present disclosure is to provide a gentle start-up device which overcomes the static frictional torque of the hydraulic generator set during small water flow, and substantially prevents fans of a water turbine from damage of large water flow during large water flow.
In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the present disclosure provides a gentle start-up device including: a rotational type hollow pipe body, including an inlet and an outlet, and having an inner wall provided with a plurality of bar-shaped fins; a transmission unit, physically connected to the rotational type hollow pipe body; and a driving unit, physically connected to the transmission unit for driving the transmission unit to rotate the rotational type hollow pipe body in a rotational direction and to achieve a predetermined rotational speed according to a water supply flow value of a water turbine of a hydraulic generator set, whereby water flow which passes through the rotational type hollow pipe body generates rotational flow.
The gentle start-up device further includes: a first bearing, disposed at the inlet of the rotational type hollow pipe body, and comprising a mounting portion 1 and a rotating portion, wherein the rotating portion is relative to the mounting portion to be rotated, and the mounting portions of the first bearing are adapted to support the rotational type hollow pipe body; a second bearing, disposed at the outlet of the rotational type hollow pipe body, and comprising a mounting portion and a rotating portion, wherein the rotating portion is relative to the mounting portion to be rotated, and the mounting portions of the second bearing are adapted to support the rotational type hollow pipe body; a first bearing flange, having one side mounted on the mounting portion of the first bearing, and comprising a hollow interior which is communicated with the inlet of the rotational type hollow pipe body; and a second bearing flange, having one side mounted on the mounting portion of the second bearing, and comprising a hollow interior which is communicated with the outlet of the rotational type hollow pipe body.
The present disclosure further provides a hydraulic generator test flatform, including: a water pump system, adapted to provide water supply flow value and water supply pressure value so as to simulate water supply flow value and water supply pressure value at an actual site, wherein the water pump system comprises a pipe flange of a water supply end; a gentle start-up device, being the gentle start-up device according to claim 2, wherein the other side of the first bearing flange is screwed to the pipe flange of the water supply end; a hydraulic generator set, comprising a water turbine having an inlet pipe flange which is screwed to the other side of the second bearing flange; and a computer control system, electrically connected to the water pump system, the gentle start-up device and the hydraulic generator set, and comprising: a controller unit, adapted to control a water supply flow value and a water supply pressure value of the water pump system; a sensor unit, adapted for measuring flow signals and pressure signals of the water supply end; and a processor unit, electrically connected to the controller unit and the sensor unit for providing a control command to the controller unit so as to control the water pump system, to control the switching on or off of the gentle start-up device, and to execute a performance test of the hydraulic generator set.
When the water flow is small, the gentle start-up device of the present disclosure can overcome the static frictional torque of the hydraulic generator set. Furthermore, when the water flow is large, the gentle start-up device of the present disclosure can substantially prevent the fans of the water turbine from damage of the large water flow. A small-type hydraulic generator set (having output electrical power is less than 100 Kw) can be tested integrally at the hydraulic generator test flatform of the present disclosure, and thus the generator and the water turbine of the small-type hydraulic generator set doesn't be tested separately.

For example, a performance test method of the hydraulic generator set 22 includes the following steps. First step: the water support pump 203 is switched on, the water is compressed and delivered from the water supply tank 202 to the water supply end 201. At this time, the valve opening of the water flow control valve 205 is zero degrees. Second step: the gentle start-up device 1 is switched on, the rotational speed of the rotational type hollow pipe body 10 of the gentle start-up device 1 complies with the water supply flow value of the water turbine 221 (e.g., one third of rated flow value of the water turbine 221 can be a setting value of the water flow). Third step: the solenoid valve switch 2301 controls the valve opening of the water flow control valve 205 from 0 degree to a specific degree.
