  • the invention is based on the recognition that the bending over of a securing plate, which is inserted in the circumferential groove of a rotor, can be carried out in a particularly simple and reliable manner, if a bending device is used which is secured in position during the bending process. This is achieved with a bending device, which is also used in that groove in which the locking plate has been mounted.
  • the right-angled before bending locking plate protrudes with one of its two legs out of the groove of the rotor.
  • the contact surface provided on the lever serves to abut against that leg of the securing plate which protrudes from the groove of the rotor.
  • the lever is pivotable about an axis of rotation which is perpendicular to the radial direction of the rotor when the bending device is in the operating position. This ensures that the leg of the security sheet to be bent is always bent to the exact planning.
  • the first portion of the holder along the extension of the groove bottom of the groove can be applied.
  • a safe operating position of the bending device can thus be achieved. Tilting of the bending device is prevented due to the flat contact of the first section on the groove bottom of the groove. This ensures that the axis of rotation of the lever is always aligned perpendicular to the radial direction of the rotor.
  • the first portion of the holder is provided with a recess.
  • the recess is arranged centrally on the first section viewed in the circumferential direction.
  • the recess is provided to receive either the locking plate holding bolt which extends through the locking plate, or to receive that leg of the locking plate, which is inserted in the groove.
  • the first portion of the holder has a wall thickness which corresponds to the width of the groove, reduced by the wall thickness of the securing plate.
  • the first portion has a wall thickness which corresponds to the width of the groove.
  • the bending device viewed in the circumferential direction of the rotor can be aligned with respect to this exactly, so that the bending device is always arranged in an intended operating position for bending in the leg of the securing plate to be bent. The bending device is then seated in the groove without play.
  • the second portion of the holder has a wall thickness which is greater than the width of the groove.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section through the outer region of a rotor disk 10 of a turbine shown.
  • An axial direction of the rotor which coincides with its axis of rotation is designated A.
  • a so-called sealing element 14 is provided on at least one end face 12 of the rotor disk 10, which covers the end opening of one of the retaining grooves.
  • the sealing element 14 is inserted with its inner end 18 into a seal groove 16 that runs endlessly along the circumference of the rotor.
  • the circumferential seal groove 16 is limited on the one hand by the end face 12 of the rotor disk 10 and on the other hand by a thereto adjacent, likewise endlessly rotating first projection 20.
  • the further groove 24 is provided for receiving a securing plate 26.
  • On a side surface 28 of the further projection 22 distributed holes in the form of holes 30 are provided along the circumference, which extend through the side walls of the further groove 24 and the sealing groove 16.
  • Each bore 30 is provided for receiving a bolt 34 which hold the seated in the sealing groove 16 sealing elements 14 in their operating position and against displacement in the circumferential direction, ie perpendicular to the plane, secure.
  • FIG. 2 an embodiment of the locking plate 26 is shown with a first leg 36 and a second leg 38.
  • the two legs 36, 38 of the locking plate 26 are approximately perpendicular to each other before use.
  • the first leg 36 is formed flat and has a central hole 40 in which the bolt 34 is to be inserted.
  • the second leg 38 is partially narrower than the first leg 36 formed so that it ends with a tongue 42.
  • the tongue 42 is intended to cover at least partially in the installed state, the frontal opening of the bore 30.
  • FIG. 3 is in accordance with the arrangement FIG. 1 to be used bolts 34 shown in a perspective view.
  • the bolt 34 in this case has a first beveled end 44 and a second end 46, in the front side a bore 48, provided with a thread, is provided.
  • blades are inserted into not illustrated holding grooves.
  • the sealing element 14 is inserted by a combined radial and axial movement in the sealing groove 16 and then tilted to the end face 12 of the rotor disk 10 until it is aligned approximately parallel to the end face 12.
  • the locking plate 26 is inserted into the further groove 24 so that its hole 40 is aligned with the bore 30.
  • the bolt 34 is inserted into the bore 30, wherein this in a Recess of the sealing element 14 engages.
  • one of the legs of the securing plate 26 is bent by applying a force F such that after its free leg 36, the frontal opening of the bore 30 at least partially covered.
  • the bending device 50 in this case comprises a holder 52, which is composed of a first portion 54 and a second portion 56.
  • the first portion 54 is provided for insertion into the further groove 24 of the rotor.
  • the radially adjoining second section 56 on the first section 54 has a lever 60 with a contact surface 62 for application to the limb of the securing plate 26 inserted in the further groove 24.
  • the lever 60 is pivotable about an axis of rotation 64 which is perpendicular to the radial direction of the rotor when inserted in the groove 24 bending device 50.
  • the first portion 54 of the holder 52 is provided with a recess 66.
  • the recess 66 is provided for that, despite inserted in the further groove 24 bolt 34 and despite inserted locking plate 26, the first portion 54 can be additionally used in the further groove.
  • the recess 66-viewed in the circumferential direction of the rotor-to have a width which corresponds at least to the diameter of the bolt 34.
  • the first portion 54 of the holder 52 has a wall thickness which corresponds to the width of the further groove 24, reduced by the wall thickness of the securing plate 26.
  • the recess 66 has a width which corresponds at least to the width of the securing plate 26, as seen in the circumferential direction.
  • both the first leg 36 of the securing plate 26 and the first portion 54 each have a wall thickness which is equal to the width of the further groove 24.
  • the securing plate 26 is held approximately free of play in the further groove 24 during the bending process.
  • the locking plate 26 is then in a tensioned position, so that by operating the lever 60, the freely ending tongue 42 can be bent to the side surface 28 of the further projection 22 to cover the opening of the bore 30 at least partially.
