Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the stator of a gas turbine does not form an integral unit, but rather has critical connection and bearing points with regard to the column to be observed. Fixations taking into account the temperature gradients occurring between the turbine housing and the guide vane ring must be provided, the implementation of which can cause considerable difficulties. As a result of the limited space and poor accessibility, milling work on the abutment surfaces located on the turbine housing can only be carried out with great effort in order to implement the required fixings. This applies not only to the initial assembly, but also to rework as a result of wear during the operation of such gas turbines.
- the invention has for its object to remedy this situation by a new design of the means for fixing the guide vanes of a vane ring of a gas turbine.
- the guide vanes can be combined into a construction module by means of the new locking elements before they are inserted into the turbine, which leads to a simple partner interface and considerably simplifies assembly.
- the new locking elements enable the guide vane rings to be fixed almost without play, directly on the spoke centering, if the previously required are eliminated Ring seals.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the guide and vane rings comprising low pressure part of a gas turbine and
- Fig. 2 in an enlarged exploded view the locking elements associated with the guide vane tips of the guide vane ring according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of a gas turbine, designated overall by reference number 10, of its low-pressure part with a stator ST having guide vanes 12, 12 'and a rotor RT having rotor blades 14, 14', and the associated turbine housing 16.
- the guide vanes and rotor blades are each combined into so-called guide vanes and rotor blade rings which, with their associated components, which are not described in more detail, form so-called partner components - namely the stator and the rotor mentioned - of the gas turbine 10 enclosed by the turbine housing 16.
- the guide vane ring 13 formed by the guide vanes 12 projects between two rotor blade rings with their rotor blades 14 and 14 '.
- a further guide vane ring 15 with guide vanes 12 ' is fixed upstream between the hub and the housing.
- the guide vane ring 13, which is still to be described between the turbine housing 16 and a seal carrier 17 of the stator ST, is exposed to dilations caused by temperature gradients between the turbine housing and guide grille, which are accommodated via defined gaps.
- the locking elements shown in FIG. 2 are used for fixing provided that are associated with each end of a guide vane 12 facing away from the hub.
- these locking elements comprise a casing ring 18 with an axial stop surface 19 and with radial projections 21 including pairs of flat mating surfaces 20 for the purpose of accommodating corresponding flat bearing surfaces 24 on a downstream casing ring 18 ′′.
- An axial one that can be clearly seen in FIG Extension of the casing ring 18 "also has mutually opposite rectangular recesses 27 and 27 ', which each serve to receive the legs 28, 28' of a U-shaped holding piece 30.
- Each holding piece 30 has on its rear base an abutment surface 32, behind which a clamping bracket 35, which will be described, engages after the mounting of the guide vanes on the turbine housing.
- the guide vanes 12 are aligned with corresponding mating surfaces with the mating surfaces 20 of the protrusions 21 of the casing ring 18, which, with its contact surface 19, is in axial contact with the guide vanes 12.
- the in the recesses 27 and 27 'by means of the legs 28, 28' engaging holding pieces 30 fix the guide vanes 12 and the casing ring 18 on the casing ring 18 ′′, the latter being fixed and fixed on the turbine housing.
- a positive locking located directly at the location of the usual spoke centering is formed, which is denoted overall by VE or VE 'in FIG. 1 and which is secured for each guide vane in each case by the spring clip 35 already mentioned.
- the spring clips 35 engage with their free ends under the radially inner bearing surfaces 24 on the casing ring 18 ′′, more precisely on its axial extension.
- the guide vane tips also have projections 41, 41 ', to which corresponding stop surfaces 42, 42' on the casing rings 18, 18 'are assigned.
- the ends of the guide vanes 12 facing the seal carrier 17 of the stator ST carry sealing linings 44 known per se, the associated sealing fins 45 of which are arranged on the rotor part 46. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
