In this embodiment, taking two turbines 11 disposed at two ends of a rotating shaft 12 as an example, the differential pressure power generation device may specifically include: the stator comprises a rotor part 1, a stator part 2, a natural gas inlet and a natural gas outlet, wherein the natural gas inlet comprises a bearing gas inlet 31 and a turbine gas inlet 32, the natural gas outlet comprises a bearing gas exhaust port 41 and a turbine exhaust port 42, preferably, the turbine gas inlet 32 comprises a first turbine gas inlet 321 and a second turbine gas inlet 322, and the turbine exhaust port 42 comprises a first turbine exhaust port 421 and a second turbine exhaust port 422.

Referring to fig. 3, the stator portion 2 in the present embodiment may specifically include: the turbine volute 22 comprises a first turbine volute 221 and a second turbine volute 222, the inlet pipes comprise a first turbine outlet pipe 212 and a second turbine outlet pipe 214, the pressure plate 23 comprises a first turbine inlet pipe 211, a nozzle 223, a pressure plate 23, a radial bearing inlet pipe 253, the casing 24, a thrust bearing inlet pipe 252, a mixed bearing inlet pipe 251, a second turbine inlet pipe 213, a bearing 26, a bearing gas exhaust pipe 264 and the motor stator 27, wherein the turbine volute 22 comprises the first turbine volute 221 and the second turbine volute 222, the inlet pipes comprise the first turbine outlet pipe 212 and the second turbine outlet pipe 214, the pressure plate 23 comprises a first pressure plate 231 and a second pressure plate 232, the nozzle 223 comprises a first nozzle 224 and a second nozzle 225, and the bearing 26 comprises a mixed bearing 261, a thrust bearing 262 and a radial bearing 263.

The motor magnetic rotor 13 of the rotor part 1 forms a generator assembly with the motor stator 27 of the stator part 2, preferably with the motor stator 27 coinciding with the plane of symmetry of the motor magnetic rotor 13.

Preferably, a hybrid bearing 261 and a radial bearing 263 for generating radial bearing force are respectively arranged at two ends of the rotating shaft 12, so as to obtain better rotor dynamic characteristics. The thrust bearing 262 and the hybrid bearing 261 which generate axial bearing force are distributed on two sides of the thrust disc 15, axial air outlets of the thrust bearing 262 and the hybrid bearing 261 are air outlet towards the thrust disc 15, and an air outlet of the radial bearing 263 is air outlet towards the rotating shaft 12.
Naturally, the bearing air inlet 31 is communicated with the radial bearing air inlet pipe 253, the thrust bearing air inlet pipe 252 and the mixed bearing air inlet pipe 251, the bearing air outlet 41 is communicated with the bearing air outlet pipe 264, the first turbine air inlet 321 is communicated with the first turbine inlet pipe 211, the second turbine air inlet 322 is communicated with the second turbine inlet pipe 213, the first turbine air outlet 421 is communicated with the first turbine 111 outlet pipe, and the second turbine air outlet 422 is communicated with the second turbine 112 outlet pipe.
During operation, high-pressure bearing gas (natural gas) enters the differential pressure power generation device from the radial bearing gas inlet pipe 253, the thrust bearing gas inlet pipe 252 and the mixed bearing gas inlet pipe 251, and forms a gas film and a bearing capacity on the surface of the first main shaft part 121, the surface of the corresponding side of the thrust disc 15, the second main shaft part 122 and the surface of the other side of the thrust disc 15 through gas outlets of the radial bearing 263, the thrust bearing 262 and the mixed bearing 261. All of the bearing 26 gas that has been depressurized finally exits the pressure differential power plant through the bearing gas exhaust 264. After the bearing system (the structure formed by the bearing 26 and the rotating shaft 12) normally works, high-pressure working gas (the same as the bearing gas) enters the first turbine volute 221 through the first turbine inlet pipe 211, passes through the first nozzle 224, converts pressure energy into velocity energy, and then enters the first turbine 111 to push the rotor part 1 to rotate, so that the velocity energy is converted into mechanical energy for the rotor part 1 to rotate; the rotating rotor portion 1 rotates the magnetic rotor 13 of the motor therein and generates an induced current in the stator 27 of the motor to convert the mechanical energy of the rotor rotation into electrical energy. The other path of working gas enters the second turbine inlet pipe 213 similarly. It should be noted that the working gas pushes the first turbine 111 and the second turbine 112 to rotate in the same direction, and together drives the rotor portion 1 to rotate in the same direction. Wherein, the first and second turbine volutes 221 and 222 each include a first accommodating chamber 226 accommodating the turbine 11 and a second accommodating chamber 227 bent inward to form a ring shape, the first accommodating chamber 226 is communicated with the first or second turbine 111 or 112 discharge pipe, the second accommodating chamber 227 is communicated with the first or second turbine inlet pipe 211 or 213, and the second accommodating chamber 227 is communicated with the first accommodating chamber 226 through the first or second nozzle 224 or 225.
Although the embodiment of the invention adopts the technology of dynamic pressure gas bearing, the bearing can work without additionally providing a gas source for the bearing. By adding the air bag, when the rotating assembly is started and stopped, a certain amount of air can be supplied to the bearing, so that friction loss is avoided.
The technical scheme provided by the invention is essentially a pressure energy recovery device based on a static pressure gas bearing. The purpose is to utilize the pressure energy and the heat energy of the high-pressure gas to drive the turbine 11 and the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and further drive the generator assembly arranged on the rotating shaft 12 to generate electric energy, namely, the pressure energy is converted into the electric energy. The present invention is characterized in that a certain amount of gas is always supplied to the bearing 26 for providing the support of the air flotation for the rotating shaft 12, and compared with the traditional dynamic pressure gas bearing, the present invention has the advantages of more reliability, no abrasion and larger bearing capacity.
