Description
GAS TURBINE ENGINh~ SITROLTD SEALING ARRANGEMENT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates generally to gas turbine engine and, more particularly, to a new gas turbine engine shroud sealing arrangement.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Over the years various sealing arrangements have been designed to seal the annular shrouds surrounding the tips of turbine blades. Feather seals are typically installed in the aft and forward rails of the shroud support stnicW res to minimize cooling air leakage through the shroud segments.
A main disadvantage of such feather seals is that it provides for a multi-part sealing arrangement (e.g. 12-24 feather seals) which renders the assembly procedure more complex, thereby resulting is extra costs. Furthermore, feather slots must be machined in each shroud segments for allowing the Feather seals to be positioned in the aft and forward rails of the outer shroud support, which further increases the manufacturing cost of the engine. Finally, such a multi-part sealing arrangement contributes to increase the overall weight of the gas W rbine engine.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Reference is now made to the accompanying figures depicting aspects of the present invention, in which:
figure 1 is an axial cross-sectional view of a gas turbine en~~ine;
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of the turbine section showing details of a turbine shroud sealing arrangement in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 3 is a perspective view of a one-piece ring seal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
DETA>rLED DESCRLPTION OF THE 1'RE1~ERRED EMBODIMENTS
Fig.l illustrates a gas turbine engine 10 of a type preferably provided for use in subsonic flight, generally comprising in serial l7ow communication a fan 12 through which ambient air is propelled, a multistage compressor 14 for pressurizing the air, a combustor 16 in which the compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited for generating an annular stream of hot combustion gases, and a turbine section 18 for extracting energy from the combustion gases.
The turbine section 18 comprises, among others, a turbine rotor mounted for rotation about a centerline axis of the engine 10. The turbine rotor comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart blades 22 (only one shown in Fig.
3) extending radially outwardly from a rotor disk. An annular turbine shroud 26 surrounds the tip of the blades 22. The turbine shroud 26 typically comprises a plurality of circumferentially adjoining segments 28 (only one shown in Fig.
3) forming a continuous 360° concentric annular band about the turbine blades 22.
Each shroud segment 28 comprises a platform 30 and a pair of retention hooks 32 and 34 extending radially outwardly from a back side 36 (i.e. the radially outwardly facing side) of the platform 30 opposite to a gas path side 38 thereof (i.e.
the radially inwardly facing side). The platform 30 has an aft overhanging portion 40 extending axially rearward of the aft retention hook 34. The forward and aft retention hooks 32 and 34 are respectively provided with axially aft extending terminal components 32a and 34a conventionally axially engaged in respective forwardly facing annular grooves 42 and 44 defined by a pair of forward and aFt annular flanges 46 and 48 extending integrally radially inwardly from a radially inner surface 50 of a surrounding annular shroud support 52.
Holes 54 are defined in the slwoud support 52 to allow cooling air to Ilow ' into the annular cavity 56 formed between the shroud 26 and the support structure 52. As shown in Fig. 2, a one-piece ring seal 58 extends in the annular gap 59 between the overhanging portion 40 of the platform 30 and the aft annular flange 48 to seal the cavity 56. The ring seal 58 has an axially extending annular wave-shaped component 60 and an annular axial retaining flange 62 extending radially outwardly from a forward end or upstream end of the axially wave-shaped component 60 The wave-shaped component 60 has fn-st, second and third peaks 64, 66 and 68. The configuration of wave-shaped component 60 is such that the radial extent between top peak 66 and bottom peaks 64 and 68 is slightly greater than the radial dimension between the radially inwardly facing surface 70 of the aft flange 48 of the shroud support 52 and the back side 36 of the overhanging portion 40 of the shroud platform 30. The seal 58 is made up of a heat resistant material leaving an inherent resiliency suitable to maintain spring fitted continual contact with the opposed facing surfaces 36 and 70 of the gap 59. Thus, the wave-shaped component 60 is spring loaded between the aft overhanging portion 40 of the shroud platform 30 and the aft flange 48 of the shroud support 52 so that peaks 64, 66 and 68 are in continual contact with the opposed facing surfaces 36 and 70 of the annular gap 59.
In addition to prevent cooling air leakage through the annular gap 59, the wave-shaped component 60 spring loads the shroud segments 28 radially inwardly.
During engine operation, the wave-shaped component 60 will accommodate different thermal growth between the platform 30 and the aft tlange 48.
As shown in Fig. 2, the axial retaining flange 62 axially abuts against a forward facing end surface 72 of the shroud support aft flange 48 for retaining the ring seal 58 against axially aft movement during engine operation. The use of such an axial retaining feature is advantageous in that it allows the ring seal 58 to be positioned about the overhanging portion 40 in a single step without having to machine any spring placement slot in the shroud segments 28, thereby contributing to reduce the overall engine manufacturing costs.
As shown in Fig. 3, tile ring seal 58 may be constructed as a one-piece endless ring to be first installed in the annular shroud support 52 with the radially outwardly extending flange 62 thereof in axial abutment relationship with the forward facing end surface 72 of the annular aft flange 48. Then, the shroud segments 28 can be successively mounted to the shroud support 52. The use of a single piece seal is advantageous as compared to compared to conventional multi-pieces feather seals in that it greatly simp'lifj~ the assembly procedures.
Also, the spring seal 58 can be conveniently cold formed or rolled from a lighriveight sheet metal blank, thereby providing a sealing arrangement which is cheaper and lighter than a typical feather seal arrangement.
The above description is meant to be exemplary only, and one skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made to the embodiments described without department from the scope of the invention disclosed. For example, it will be appreciated that ring seal 58 is not limited to being installed to a high pressure shroud, hut rather, it can be installed in other engine stages which exhibit similar problems and needs. Also, it is understood that the wave-shaped portion GO
could have more or less than three peaks. In fact, could have any configuration adapted to accommodate different thermal gradient between the engine parts to be sealed.
Still other modifications which fall within tile scope of the present invention will he apparent to those skilled in the art, in light of a review of this disclosure, and such modifications are intended to fall within the appended claims.
3) forming a continuous 360° concentric annular band about the turbine blades 22.
Each shroud segment 28 comprises a platform 30 and a pair of retention hooks 32 and 34 extending radially outwardly from a back side 36 (i.e. the radially outwardly facing side) of the platform 30 opposite to a gas path side 38 thereof (i.e.
the radially inwardly facing side). The platform 30 has an aft overhanging portion 40 extending axially rearward of the aft retention hook 34. The forward and aft retention hooks 32 and 34 are respectively provided with axially aft extending terminal components 32a and 34a conventionally axially engaged in respective forwardly facing annular grooves 42 and 44 defined by a pair of forward and aFt annular flanges 46 and 48 extending integrally radially inwardly from a radially inner surface 50 of a surrounding annular shroud support 52.
Holes 54 are defined in the slwoud support 52 to allow cooling air to Ilow ' into the annular cavity 56 formed between the shroud 26 and the support structure 52. As shown in Fig. 2, a one-piece ring seal 58 extends in the annular gap 59 between the overhanging portion 40 of the platform 30 and the aft annular flange 48 to seal the cavity 56. The ring seal 58 has an axially extending annular wave-shaped component 60 and an annular axial retaining flange 62 extending radially outwardly from a forward end or upstream end of the axially wave-shaped component 60 The wave-shaped component 60 has fn-st, second and third peaks 64, 66 and 68. The configuration of wave-shaped component 60 is such that the radial extent between top peak 66 and bottom peaks 64 and 68 is slightly greater than the radial dimension between the radially inwardly facing surface 70 of the aft flange 48 of the shroud support 52 and the back side 36 of the overhanging portion 40 of the shroud platform 30. The seal 58 is made up of a heat resistant material leaving an inherent resiliency suitable to maintain spring fitted continual contact with the opposed facing surfaces 36 and 70 of the gap 59. Thus, the wave-shaped component 60 is spring loaded between the aft overhanging portion 40 of the shroud platform 30 and the aft flange 48 of the shroud support 52 so that peaks 64, 66 and 68 are in continual contact with the opposed facing surfaces 36 and 70 of the annular gap 59.
In addition to prevent cooling air leakage through the annular gap 59, the wave-shaped component 60 spring loads the shroud segments 28 radially inwardly.
During engine operation, the wave-shaped component 60 will accommodate different thermal growth between the platform 30 and the aft tlange 48.
