If the individual cover plates or shroud sections, which in their entirety constitute the respective shroud in the mounted state, form an integral part of the associated shovel, which is the case regularly, high repair costs are incurred since the entire shovel must be repaired and possibly replaced ,
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, deals with the problem of providing for a turbomachine of the type mentioned in an improved embodiment, which is characterized in particular by reduced operating costs and maintenance costs. This problem is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims.

  • the feature combination according to the invention basically provides the option of retrofitting the shroud, that is, of retrofitting a shovel row with the shroud in a turbomachine.
  • the attached to the blades shroud ring or the respective shroud segment or the respective cover plate is a separately manufactured component, which offers the possibility for the production of the shroud on the one hand and for the production of the blades on the other hand different materials and / or different material structures to use.

It is also possible to form the anchor receptacle on the respective blade and form the associated anchor, preferably integrally, on the shroud. In a further alternative, it is possible to form the shroud and the respective blade with opposing anchor shots, so that a separate, additional anchor body having two anchors, can be used simultaneously in both anchor shots. With the help of such an additional anchor body, the assembly and disassembly of the shroud can greatly simplify.
  • anchor and armature mounts leads in addition to the radial fixing of the shroud on the blades in addition to a fixation of the shroud transversely to the longitudinal direction of the anchor shots.
  • this results in a fixation in the circumferential direction. If the armature receptacle is inclined relative to the axial direction, this also results in holding forces in the axial direction.
  • the invention is based on an alternative embodiment based on the general idea not to form the respective shroud of several, individual blades associated cover plates or shroud sections, but from a single, all blades of the respective blade row associated shroud ring to form self-supporting and to the radially outer blade tips of the blade row is attached.
  • the self-supporting shroud ring is designed so that it can absorb the forces occurring during operation, in particular when it is associated with a blade row, in itself, without burdening the blades.
  • the centrifugal forces occurring during operation can absorb in themselves, without causing a significant additional radial tensile load of the blades occurs. The life of the blades is thereby increased.
  • the blades can be dimensioned smaller, which can be used to increase the efficiency of the turbomachine weight reduction. This is achieved by the circumferentially closed body of the shroud ring, which converts the centrifugal forces occurring in tangential tensile stresses.
  • the shroud ring must be a component made separately with respect to the blades.
  • the separate production of the shroud ring allows the use of a material which differs from that of the rotor blades and / or a material structure which differs from that of the rotor blades.
  • the shroud ring can be optimized in the direction of a tensile load in the circumferential direction, while the blades are usually optimized with respect to a tensile load in the radial direction.
  • shroud ring designed as a separate component can readily be designed such that it can be removed comparatively easily can be. This simplifies the repair or replacement of the shroud ring in the event of signs of wear. This is particularly advantageous in rotor sections with integrated blades.
  • shroud ring is basically retrofitted.
  • blade rows of a turbomachine can be subsequently provided in a comparatively cost-effective manner with a shroud, in order to use the advantages of a shroud, namely stabilization of long blades and efficiency increase by reduced leakage and aerodynamic optimization.
  • the shroud ring may be mounted to the blades so as to be radially free with respect to the blades. That is, the shroud ring is not fixed to the blades in the radial direction, but is relatively freely or loosely arranged relative thereto. In this way, for example, thermally induced stresses can be reduced.
  • this design when using the shroud ring at a blade row.
  • the centrifugal forces occurring during operation force the shroud ring radially outward. Due to the degree of freedom provided in the radial direction, the shroud ring can basically lift off from the associated rotor blades in the radial direction, without any tensile forces being transmitted between the pressure beltring and the rotor blades. With regard to the centrifugal forces, the blades are thus decoupled from the shroud ring.

Abstract

Turbomachine (1, 101), en particulier turbine ou compresseur, qui comporte un rotor (2, 102) pourvu d'au moins une rangée (4, 104) d'aubes mobiles constituée de plusieurs aubes mobiles (5, 105), et un stator (3) pourvu d'au moins une rangée (6, 106) d'aubes directrices constituée de plusieurs aubes directrices (7, 107), au moins une rangée (4, 104) d'aubes mobiles comportant une bande de couverture (8, 108). Selon la présente invention, la bande de couverture (8, 108) est conçue pour être autoportée de manière telle qu'elle peut au moins partiellement absorber les forces centrifuges se produisant lors du fonctionnement et les transférer dans la direction circonférentielle. La bande de couverture (8, 108) se présente sous forme de pièce structurale fabriquée de manière séparée qui est fixée à certaines ou à toutes les aubes mobiles (5, 105) par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un ancrage (10) libérable de manière non destructive.
