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 is produced at modern industry and is had a very important role in scientific technological advance.No matter improve scientific technological advance and industrial production technology level, or in technical innovation and Plant reconstruction plant modernization and renewal, sealing technique all in occupation of consequence with carry 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 engine, sealing technique directly affects the performance of motor.Sprue flow leakage directly affects the efficiency of each parts of motor; And for air system, the key technology of sealing technique its success or failure especially.
The research in U.S. Louis research center is thought, the return that the more advanced sealing technique of exploitation is brought is huge.For commercial aircraft, the direct operating expense of large motor 3% can be reduced, the direct operating expense of region motor 5%, the fuel consumption of 10% can be reduced, the NOx discharge of 50% can be decreased beyond, 7dB noise (being equivalent to the acoustic energy of minimizing 3/4) can be reduced.In addition, because the leakage of air system Secondary Flow sealing can make engine inner chamber temperature increase, and then each component performance is caused to reduce, therefore, more advanced sealing technique significantly can also 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 the significance of seal clearance in aeroengine and present Research.
Research shows, high-pressure turbine tip clearance often reduces 0.254mm (0.01in), and fuel consumption rate about reduces by 1%, and delivery temperature about reduces 10 DEG C.Due to the reduction of delivery temperature, the working life of each parts significantly can be increased.
When in the accelerating process of motor from slow train to maximum (top) speed, because rotor has deformed more than the radial extent amount of casing under heat load under mechanical load, tip clearance has declined rapidly, occurs a minimum value; When cruising condition, rotating speed has reached basicly stable, and the thermal response of turbine is also tending towards saturated, and along with the rising gradually of casing temperature, tip clearance also slowly becomes large.When engine retard, just the opposite when the variation tendency of tip clearance curve and acceleration; During thrust reversing rating, motor accelerates to make tip clearance reach minimum again; Taking off with in land process, the state point of gap minimum value can be there is respectively, namely the most easily touch the point of mill.
Based on the analysis of above-mentioned tip clearance at an aerial mission internal clearance variation characteristic, develop a kind of seal arrangement with gap control function and seem particularly important.Prior art mainly controls tip clearance by cooling casing, this technology grasp by the external aero engine manufacturers of part and apply, but domestic research and apply is subject to the restriction of foreign patent barrier, is in progress comparatively slow.
In addition, due to the technology controlling tip clearance by cooling casing 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 clearance control technique realizing response fast always both at home and abroad at present, but mostly just carry out some conceptual researchs, the further investigation of special topic is also nowhere near, and lacks the technological scheme being easy to realize especially.
In fact, not only in aeroengine, on other a lot of high-speed rotating machine, seal clearance is all along with the change of equipment state changes.But conventional technological scheme is sealed into master with comb tooth, and seal clearance cannot adjust in the equipment operation stage, and can only reserve enough large seal clearance in the Installation and Debugging stage, the equipment that ensures in theory does not touch mill under being in 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 touches mill, and namely seal clearance can permanently expand.
