Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Rotor für eine Turbomaschine mit in Nuten anbringbaren Schaufeln, wobei die Nuten schräg zur Rotationsachse des Rotors angebracht sind, sowie eine Schaufel für einen Rotor. Ein solcher Rotor ist zum Beispiel aus der US-A-2 643 853 bekannt.The present invention relates to a rotor for a turbomachine with blades which can be fitted in grooves, the grooves are attached obliquely to the axis of rotation of the rotor, and a blade for a rotor. One such rotor is for example known from US-A-2 643 853.

Bei Rotoren von Turbomaschinen können aufgrund der Rotation hohe Fliehkräfte auftreten. Bei in einem Rotor anbringbaren Schaufeln besteht zudem die Schwierigkeit, den Rotor so auszulegen, daß er zum einen eine genügende Festigkeit aufweist, zum anderen aber gewisse Abmessungsgrenzen, die von den Belastungen der Turbomaschine abhängen, nicht überschreitet. Die Schaufeln, die in Nuten anbringbar sind, müssen dazu einen geeigneten Schaufelfuß aufweisen. Je nach Konstruktionsprinzip der Verbindung zwischen Schaufelfuß und Rotor treten zwischen diesen unterschiedliche Spannungen auf. Diese verteilen sich über den Schaufelfuß unterschiedlich. Ein Einflußparameter auf die auftretenden Spannungen beim Betrieb der Turbomaschine ist beispielsweise der Einbauwinkel des Schaufelfußes in die Welle. With rotors of turbomachinery, due to the rotation high centrifugal forces occur. When attachable in a rotor Blades are also difficult to design the rotor so that on the one hand it has sufficient strength, on the other others but certain dimensional limits from the loads depend on the turbomachine, do not exceed. The shovels, that can be attached in grooves must be suitable Have blade root. Depending on the construction principle of the connection between blade root and rotor occur between them different voltages. These are spread over the Blade base different. An influencing parameter on the occurring For example, voltages during the operation of the turbomachine the installation angle of the blade root in the shaft.

Die GB-A-2 237 846 betrifft eine Gasturbine für ein Flugzeugtriebwerk, bei der eine Reduzierung der Masse des Turbinenläufers zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit beim Betrieb bei einer maximalen Geschwindigkeit beschrieben ist. Diese Massenreduktion findet dadurch statt, daß der Schaufelfuß einer Turbinenschaufel zwei voneinander durch eine durchgehende Nut getrennte und beabstandete Teile aufweist. Diese Teile des Schaufelfußes werden durch zwei Trennwände voneinander beabstandet, welche zu einer Spreizung des Schaufelfußes führen. GB-A-2 237 846 relates to a gas turbine for an aircraft engine, reducing the mass of the turbine rotor to increase safety when operating a maximum speed is described. This mass reduction takes place in that the blade root of a turbine blade two separated by a continuous groove and has spaced parts. These parts of the Blade root are spaced from each other by two partitions, which lead to a spreading of the blade root.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, die im Betrieb eines Rotors auftretenden Festigkeitsprobleme zu mindern'und eine dazu geeignete Kombination von Schaufelfuß und Nut anzugeben.The object of the present invention is now that in operation to reduce a strength problem occurring in a rotor and specify a suitable combination of blade root and groove.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen ein Rotor für eine Turbomaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 und eine Schaufel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 6. Vorteilhafte Merkmale und Kombinationen ergeben sich aus den in den jeweils abhängigen Ansprüchen offenbarten Merkmalen.A rotor for a turbomachine is used to solve this task with the features of claim 1 and with a shovel the features of claim 6. Advantageous features and combinations result from the in the respective dependent claims disclosed features.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Rotor mit in Nuten anbringbaren Schaufeln, bei dem die Nuten schräg zu der Rotationsachse des Rotors angebracht sind, weist bei zumindest einem Teil seiner Schaufeln einen Schaufelfuß mit mindestens zwei Bereichen mit unterschiedlicher Steifigkeit auf, die an unterschiedliche Bereiche der Steifigkeit der Nut, in die der Schaufelfuß anbringbar ist, angepaßt, vorzugsweise angeglichen, sind.A rotor according to the invention with blades which can be fitted in grooves, where the grooves are oblique to the axis of rotation of the rotor are attached, points to at least part of its blades a blade root with at least two areas with different Stiffness based on different areas the rigidity of the groove in which the blade root can be attached, adapted, preferably aligned.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, daß ein entsprechend angepaßter Bereich des Schaufelfußes und ein demgegenüber steiferer Bereich der Nut aneinander- oder gegenüberliegen. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß entsprechende Steifigkeiten von Nut und Schaufelfuß sich so entsprechen, daß es zu einer Vergleichmäßigung der auftretenden Spannungen insgesamt kommt. Insbesondere der Kraftfluß bei der Kraftübertragung vom Schaufelfuß in die Nut ist bei entsprechender Anpassung günstig gestaltbar. Günstig ist es weiterhin, wenn im Nutbereich höchster auftretender Spannung, im allgemeinen insbesondere im Bereich der spitzen Ecken der Nut in dem Rotor, ein Bereich verminderter Steifigkeit des Schaufelfußes anliegt, so daß bei Betrieb der Turbomaschine keine Spannungen auftreten, die zur Zerstörung oder Materialermüdung über längeren Betrieb der Turbomaschine führen.A preferred embodiment provides that a corresponding adapted area of the blade root and a stiffer in contrast Area of the groove to each other or opposite. Thereby is achieved that the corresponding stiffness of the groove and Blade base correspond so that there is an equalization of the tensions that occur. In particular the flow of force when transmitting power from the blade root in the groove can be designed inexpensively with appropriate adaptation. It is also favorable if the highest occurring in the groove area Voltage, in particular in the area of sharp corners of the groove in the rotor, an area diminished Stiffness of the blade root is present, so that when the Turbomachine no tensions occur, leading to destruction or material fatigue from prolonged operation of the turbomachine to lead.

Eire vorteilhafte und bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Gasturbinenverdichters, welcher eine bevorzugte Turbomaschine zur Anwendung der Erfindung ist, dargestellt. Der Rotor 1 der Turbomaschine ist vorzugsweise aus axial hintereinander angeordneten, miteinander verzahnten (Hirthverzahnung), durch einen nicht dargestellten Zuganker miteinander verbundenen Läuferscheiben 1 gebildet.An advantageous and preferred embodiment of the invention is based on a gas turbine compressor, which is a preferred turbomachine for applying the invention, shown. The rotor 1 of the turbomachine is preferably off axially arranged one behind the other, interlocked (Serration), by a tie rod, not shown interconnected rotor disks 1 are formed.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Abschnitt einer Läuferscheibe 1 mit in Nuter. 2 eingesetzten Schaufeln 3. Jede Schaufel 3 weist Bereiche mit unterschiedlicher Steifigkeit auf. Passend dazu ist im Schaufelfuß 4 eine Aussparung 5 so angebracht, daß der Nut 2, die eine ungleichmäßig große Steifigkeit über ihre Nuttiefe aufweist, eine angepaßte Steifigkeit des Schaufelfußes 4 gegenüberliegt. Da insbesondere am spitzen Eck 6 (siehe Figur 2) einer Nut 2, welches am Nutende liegt, im Betrieb des Gasturbiner verdichters erhöhte Spannungen auftreten, weist in diesem Bereich der Schaufelfuß 4 die Aussparung 5 so ausgebildet auf, daß, er an dieser Stelle leicht nachgiebig ist. Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Aussparung 5 sieht diese in der Form einer Ausfräsung vor, die an der Stirnseite 8 des Schaufelfußes 4 schräg nach unten aus diesem herausläuft.FIG. 1 shows a section of a rotor disk 1 with a groove. 2 inserted blades 3. Each blade 3 has areas with different stiffness. Suitable for this is in Blade foot 4 has a recess 5 so that the groove 2, which have an unevenly high rigidity across their groove depth has an adapted rigidity of the blade root 4 opposite. Since one in particular at the sharp corner 6 (see FIG. 2) Groove 2, which is located at the end of the groove, during operation of the gas turbine increased voltages occur in the compressor Area of the blade root 4, the recess 5 is formed on that, at this point, he is slightly compliant. An advantageous one Design of the recess 5 sees this in the form a cutout on the front 8 of the blade root 4 runs out of it at an angle downwards.

Figur 2 zeigt die Läuferscheibe 1 aus der Figur 1 in einer Aufsicht. Die Nuten 2 sind in einem Einbauwinkel β zur Rotationsachse der Läuferscheibe 1 angebracht, der auf Grund der angepaßten Schaufelfüße 4 sehr viel größer sein kann gegenüber herkömmlichen Einbauwinkeln. Dieses spielt insbesondere für Gasturbinen und deren Verdichter mit geringem Massenstrom eine besondere Rolle. Dort können größere Schaufelwinkel und damit größere Einbauwinkel β erforderlich sein. Dieses führt wiederum zu erhöhten lokalen Spannungen in der Nut 2, da insbesondere in den spitzen Ecken 6 durch die erhöhten Winkel reduzierte Steifigkeiten vorliegen. Die spitzen Ecken 6 sind Orte lokaler hoher Spannung. Sie sind als Enden der gestrichelt angedeuteten, in der Läuferscheibe 1 innenliegenden Nutbreite D eingezeichnet. Über die Nutlänge L gesehen, besitzt diese nicht nur in ihrer Tiefe, sondern auch in ihrer Erstreckung unterschiedliche Bereiche unterschiedlicher Spannungen, die daher unterschiedlichen Einfluß auf die Festigkeit bei eingebautem Schaufelfuß 4 und Betrieb der Turbomaschine haben.FIG. 2 shows the rotor disk 1 from FIG. 1 in a top view. The grooves 2 are at an installation angle β to the axis of rotation the rotor disc 1 attached, due to the adapted Bucket feet 4 can be much larger compared to conventional installation angles. This is especially important for Gas turbines and their compressors with a low mass flow special role. There can be larger blade angles and thus larger installation angles β may be required. This leads in turn to increased local stresses in the groove 2, especially in the sharp corners 6 stiffness reduced by the increased angle available. The pointed corners 6 are places higher locally Tension. They are the ends of the dashed lines, groove width D located on the inside of the rotor 1. Seen over the groove length L, it is not only in their depth, but also different in their extent Areas of different voltages, therefore different Influence on the strength when the blade root is installed 4 and operation of the turbomachine.

Figur 3 zeigt einen erfindungsgemäßen Schaufelfuß 4 mit angedeuteter Verlängerung des Schaufelblattes 7 der Schaufel 3. Dieser weist eine Aussparung 5 beginnend jeweils an beiden Stirnflächen 8 auf, die schräg nach unten aus dem Schaufelfuß 4 herauslaufen. Diese Materialverminderung im Schaufelfuß 4 führt zu einer verminderten Steifigkeit in Bereichen der Stirnflächen 8 und auch in anliegenden Bereichen des Schaufelfußes 4. Derartig angepaßte Bereiche weisen eine größere Elastizität auf, so daß auftretende Verformungen im Betrieb, insbesondere auch an den spitzen Ecken 6 günstiger aufgefangen werden.Figure 3 shows a blade root 4 according to the invention with indicated Extension of the blade 7 of the blade 3. This has a recess 5 starting at both End faces 8, which are inclined downward from the blade root 4 run out. This reduction in material in the blade root 4 leads to reduced stiffness in areas of the end faces 8 and also in adjacent areas of the blade root 4. Such adapted areas have greater elasticity, so that deformations occurring in operation, especially also the sharp corners 6 can be caught cheaper.

Figur 4 zeigt die Schaufel 3 aus Figur 3 in eingebautem Zustand. Die Materialverminderung 5 im Schaufelfuß 4 führt dazu, daß Kraftlinien im Schaufelfuß 4 unterbrochen werden und an diesen Stellen der Schaufelfuß 4 gegenüber Belastungen, die auf Grund der wirkenden Schaufelkräfte am Schaufelblatt 7 aufkommen, über den angepaßten Schaufelfuß 4 in den mittleren Bereich der Nutlänge L umgelenkt und dort über die Nut 2 aufgenommen werden.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 that lines of force in the blade root 4 are interrupted and on these places the blade root 4 against loads on Arise on the blade 7 due to the acting blade forces, over the adapted blade root 4 in the middle area the groove length L is deflected and received there via the groove 2 become.

Figur 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Der eingebaute Schaufelfuß 4 weist eine Aussparung 5 in einer eher länglichen Form auf, die sich zur Mitte der Nuttiefe hin nach unten aus dem Schaufelfuß 4 herauszieht. Diese Aussparung kann nicht nur mittels Fräsung sondern auch über eine Bohrung oder ähnliche spanende Bearbeitungsweisen erzielt werden. Im Sinne der Erfindung sind aber nicht nur Aussparungen 5 als Anpassungen der Steifigkeit von Bereichen des Schaufelfußes 4 zu verstehen. Vielmehr sind alle Maßnahmen, die die Steifigkeit eines Schaufelfußes in mindestens einem Bereich ändern, anwendbar. Beispielsweise ist auch das Einsetzen oder Verarbeiten eines anderen Materials im Schaufelfuß möglich, welches diesem gegenüber eine höhere Elastizität aufweist. Insbesondere günstig ist es, daß bei Verdichtern bzw. allgemein Turbomaschinen, die in wechselndem Betrieb gefahren werden, eine Anpassung der Bereiche des Schaufelfußes 4 an denjenigen Betriebsbereich der Turbomaschine angelehnt ist, in dem dieser überwiegend gefahren wird.Figure 5 shows a further embodiment of the invention. The built-in blade root 4 has a recess 5 in a rather elongated shape that extends towards the center of the groove depth pulls out of the blade root 4 below. This recess can not only by means of milling but also through a hole or similar machining methods can be achieved. For the purpose of of the invention are not only recesses 5 as adjustments to understand the rigidity of areas of the blade root 4. Rather, all measures that affect the rigidity of a Change blade root in at least one area, applicable. For example, inserting or processing one other material in the blade root possible, which opposite this has a higher elasticity. Is particularly cheap it that in compressors or generally turbomachinery, which in alternating operation, an adjustment of the areas of the blade root 4 to that operating area of the turbomachine is ajar, in which this is mostly driven becomes.

Die Erfindung schafft bei diesem angeführten Beispiel je nach Größe der Aussparung und Schräge des Einbauwinkels eine Reduzierung von lokalen Spannungen von 30 % und mehr. Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist ihr geringer Kostenaufwand, ihre Effektivität sowie auch die nachträgliche Steifigkeitsanpassung von Schaufelfüßen bei schon in Betrieb genommenen Turbomaschinen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist die Austauschbarkeit der Schaufeln. So können auch Schaufelfüße mit und ohne Materialverminderung in einer Läuferscheibe gemeinsam angebracht sein.The invention creates in this example depending on Size of the recess and slope of the installation angle a reduction of local stresses of 30% and more. The advantage The invention is its low cost, its effectiveness as well as the subsequent rigidity adjustment of blade feet with turbo machines already in operation. On Another advantage of the invention is the interchangeability Shovels. This means that shovel feet can be made with and without material reduction be mounted together in a rotor disk.
