There is the vane sealing device of gap control function
Technical field
The present invention relates to vane sealing device, be particularly useful on the high-speed rotating machine such as aeroengine, gas turbine.
Background technique
Sealing technique has a very important role in modern industry production and scientific technological advance.No matter to improve scientific technological advance and industrial production technology level, or aspect technical innovation and Plant reconstruction plant modernization and renewal, sealing technique all in occupation of consequence with bearing key player.This sentences aeroengine is example, and the significance of sealing technique is described.
As everyone knows, no matter for military aero-engine or civil aviation motor, sealing technique directly affects the performance of motor.Sprue flow leakage directly affects the efficiency of the each parts of motor; And for air system, sealing technique is the key technology of its success or failure especially.
The research in U.S. Louis research center thinks, the return that the more advanced sealing technique of exploitation is brought is huge.For commercial aircraft, can reduce the direct operating expense of large motor 3%, the direct operating expense of region motor 5%, can reduce by 10% fuel consumption, the NOx discharge amount that exceedes 50% can be reduced, 7dB noise (being equivalent to reduce 3/4 acoustic energy) can be reduced.In addition, increase because the leakage of air system Secondary Flow sealing can make cavity temperature in motor, and then cause each component performance to reduce, therefore, more advanced sealing technique can also significantly reduce the maintenance cost in lifetime, extends the working life of each component.
The sealing of design is numerous in aeroengine, and this sentences high-pressure turbine blade tip and is sealed into example and illustrates and control significance and the present Research of seal clearance in aeroengine.
Research shows, the every minimizing of high-pressure turbine tip clearance 0.254mm (0.01in), and fuel consumption rate approximately reduces by 1%, and delivery temperature approximately reduces 10 DEG C.Due to the reduction of delivery temperature, can significantly increase the working life of each parts.
When in the accelerating process of motor from slow train to maximum (top) speed, because rotor has exceeded the radial extent amount of casing under heat load in the distortion under mechanical load, tip clearance declines rapidly, occurs a minimum value; In the time of cruising condition, it is basicly stable that rotating speed has reached, and it is saturated that the thermal response of turbine is also tending towards, and along with the rising gradually of casing temperature, it is large that tip clearance also slowly becomes.In the time of engine retard, just the opposite when the variation tendency of tip clearance curve and acceleration; When thrust reversing rating, motor accelerates to make tip clearance to reach minimum again; Take off with land process in, can there is respectively the state point of gap minimum value, the most easily touch the point of mill.
Analysis based on above-mentioned tip clearance at an aerial mission internal clearance variation characteristic, develops a kind of seal arrangement with gap control function and seems particularly important.Prior art is mainly to control tip clearance by cooling casing, and this technology is grasped and applied by the external aeroengine MANUFACTURER of part, but domestic research and application are subject to the restriction of foreign patent barrier, make progress comparatively slow.
In addition, due to control by cooling casing the technology of tip clearance exist speed of response slow, from the bleed of fan or gas compressor to deficiencies such as engine performance have a negative impact, scientific research personnel is finding the approach of the active gap control technology of response fast that realizes always both at home and abroad at present, but some conceptual researchs are mostly just carried out, the further investigation of special topic is also nowhere near, and lacks especially the technological scheme that is easy to realization.
In fact, not only, in aeroengine, on other a lot of high-speed rotating machines, seal clearance is all along with the change of equipment state changes.But conventional technological scheme is sealed into master with comb tooth, seal clearance cannot be adjusted in the equipment operation stage, can only reserve enough large seal clearance in the Installation and Debugging stage, and the equipment that ensures in theory does not touch mill under any state.But in practical application, high-speed rotating machine still often can run into some uncertain instantaneous pernicious operating modes, the comb tooth sealing generation short time is touched mill, and seal clearance can permanently expand.
