Definitions

  • Rotor for a turbo machine with blades which can be fitted in grooves and blade for a rotor
  • the present invention relates to a rotor for a turbomachine with blades which can be fitted in grooves, the grooves being arranged obliquely to the axis of rotation of the rotor, and a blade for a rotor.
  • the object of the present invention is now to reduce the strength problems occurring during the operation of a rotor and to specify a suitable combination of blade root and groove.
  • a rotor for a turbomachine with the features of claim 1 and a blade with the features of claim 6 serve to achieve this object.
  • Advantageous features and combinations result from the features disclosed in the respective dependent claims.
  • a rotor according to the invention with blades which can be fitted in grooves, in which the grooves are inclined to the axis of rotation of the rotor are attached, has at least a part of its blades a blade root with at least two areas with different stiffness, which are adapted, preferably adjusted, to different areas of the stiffness of the groove into which the blade root can be attached.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that a correspondingly adapted region of the blade root and a region of the groove that is stiffer in comparison lie opposite or opposite one another. This ensures that the corresponding stiffness of the groove and
  • Blade root correspond so that there is an overall equalization of the stresses that occur.
  • the flow of force during the transmission of force from the blade root into the groove can be designed inexpensively with a corresponding adaptation. It is also expedient if there is a region of reduced stiffness of the blade root in the groove area of the highest occurring stress, in general in particular in the area of the pointed corners of the groove in the rotor, so that no stresses occur during operation of the turbomachine which could destroy or Material fatigue leads to prolonged operation of the turbomachine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a rotor with blades adapted and used according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the rotor from FIG. 1 in a top view without inserted blades
  • FIG. 3 shows a blade root according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 shows the blade root from FIG. 3 used in a rotor disk
  • FIG. 5 shows another foot used according to the invention.
  • the rotor 1 of the turbomachine is preferably formed from rotor disks 1 which are arranged axially one behind the other and are toothed together (Hirth toothing) and are connected to one another by a tie rod, not shown.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section of a rotor disk 1 with blades 3 inserted in grooves 2.
  • Each blade 3 has areas with different stiffness.
  • a recess 5 is made in the blade root 4 in such a way that the groove 2, which has an unevenly high rigidity over its groove depth, is opposite an adapted rigidity of the blade root 4. Since, in particular at the sharp corner 6 (see FIG. 2) of a groove 2, which lies at the end of the groove, increased voltages occur during operation of the gas turbine compressor, in this area the blade root 4 has the recess 5 in such a way that it is connected to it Body is slightly compliant.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the recess 5 provides this in the form of a cutout, which runs obliquely downwards on the end face 8 of the blade root 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows the rotor disk 1 from FIG. 1 in a top view.
  • the grooves 2 are made at an installation angle ⁇ to the axis of rotation of the rotor disk 1, which can be much larger than conventional installation angles due to the adapted blade feet 4. This is particularly important for gas turbines and their compressors with a low mass flow. There larger blade angles and thus larger installation angles ß may be required. This leads in turn to increased local stresses in the groove 2, since there are reduced stiffnesses in particular in the pointed corners 6 due to the increased angles.
  • the pointed corners 6 are places of local high tension. They are shown as the ends of the groove width D indicated in dashed lines and lying inside the rotor disk 1. Seen over the groove length L, it has different ranges of different stresses not only in its depth but also in its extent, which therefore have a different influence on the strength when the blade root 4 is installed and the operation of the turbomachine.
  • FIG. 3 shows a blade root 4 according to the invention with an indicated extension of the blade leaf 7 of the blade 3.
  • This has a recess 5, starting at both end faces 8, which run out of the blade root 4 at an angle downwards.
  • This reduction in material in the blade root 4 leads to a reduced stiffness in areas of the end faces 8 and also in adjacent areas of the blade root 4. Areas adapted in this way have greater elasticity, so that deformations occurring during operation, in particular also at the pointed corners 6, are more favorable to be caught.
  • FIG. 4 shows the blade 3 from FIG. 3 in the installed state.
  • the reduction in material 5 in the blade root 4 leads to the fact that lines of force in the blade root 4 are interrupted and at these points the blade root 4 with respect to loads which arise due to the effective blade forces on the blade blade 7, via the adapted blade root 4 in the central region of the groove length L deflected and received there via the groove 2.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the built-in blade root 4 has a recess 5 in a rather elongated shape, which pulls downwards out of the blade root 4 towards the center of the groove depth.
  • This recess can not only be achieved by milling, but also by means of a hole or similar machining methods.
  • recesses 5 are to be understood as adaptations to the rigidity of regions of the blade root 4.
  • all measures that change the rigidity of a blade root in at least one area can be used.
  • the invention creates a reduction of local stresses of 30% and more, depending on the size of the recess and the inclination of the installation angle.
  • the advantage of the invention is its low cost, its effectiveness and also the subsequent rigidity adjustment of blade bases in turbo machines that have already been put into operation.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the interchangeability of the blades. In this way, blade feet with and without material reduction can also be mounted together in one rotor disk.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un rotor (1) pour une turbomachine avec des pales (3) à monter dans des rainures (2) inclinées par rapport à l'axe de rotation du rotor. Au moins une base (4) de la pale comprend deux zones de rigidités diverses adaptées à des zones de la rainure (2), dans laquelle la base (4) de la pale est insérée, lesdites zones présentant également des rigidités diverses, de préférence équivalentes à celles de la pale. L'invention concerne également une pale (3) pour un rotor (1). L'invention est particulièrement utile dans des compresseurs de turbines à gaz et permet de réduire fortement les contraintes locales exercées sur les rainures.
