Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Strahlvorrichtung zum Strahlen eines Teiles einer Turbinenschaufel, die einen Schaufelfuß, eine Schaufelplattform und ein Schaufelblatt aufweist, mit einer Strahlkabine, die eine Einsetzöffnungen aufweist, einer Strahleinrichtung zur Abgabe von beschleunigtem Strahlgut in die Strahlkabine und einer Halterung für die Turbinenschaufel, wobei eine Dichtung vorgesehen ist, welche einen Spalt zwischen der Halterung und dem Schaufelblatt im Bereich der Einsetzöffnung abdichtet und so den Austritt von beim Strahlen entstehendem Staub aus der Strahlkabine verhindert.The present invention relates to a blasting device for blasting a part of a turbine blade having a blade root, a blade platform and an airfoil, with a blast cabin having an insertion opening, a blasting device for discharging accelerated blasting material into the blast cabin, and a support for the turbine blade. wherein a seal is provided which seals a gap between the holder and the airfoil in the region of the insertion opening and thus prevents the escape of the dust emerging from the blasting cabin during blasting.

Eine derartige Strahlvorrichtung ist in der US 2006/0021410 A1 beschrieben. Diese Vorrichtung ist dafür vorgesehen, den Schaufelfuß und die dem Schaufelfuß zugewandte Seite der Schaufelplattform einer Turbinenschaufel zu strahlen. Dazu weist sie eine Strahlkabine auf, die mit einer Einsetzöffnung versehen ist, durch die der zu strahlende Teil der Turbinenschaufel in die Strahlkabine eingebracht werden kann. Außerdem ist eine Halterung vorgesehen, welche die Turbinenschaufel im eingesetzten Zustand fixiert. Die Halterung ist mit Dichtungen versehen, welche einen zwischen der Schaufelplattform und der Halterung ausgebildeten Spalt von der Kabinenaußenseite her abdichten.Such a jet device is in the US 2006/0021410 A1 described. This device is intended to radiate the blade root and the blade root facing side of the blade platform of a turbine blade. For this purpose, it has a blasting cabin, which is provided with an insertion opening, through which the part of the turbine blade to be blasted can be introduced into the blasting cubicle. In addition, a holder is provided, which fixes the turbine blade in the inserted state. The holder is provided with seals which seal a gap formed between the blade platform and the holder from the outside of the cabin.

Ein wesentliches Problem beim Strahlen von Turbinenschaufeln ist, dass der hierbei entstehende Staub aus der Kabine austreten und auf die keramische Beschichtung des Schaufelblatts gelangen kann. Hierdurch wird deren Funktion und Lebensdauer beeinträchtigt.A major problem when blasting turbine blades is that the resulting dust can escape from the cabin and get onto the ceramic coating of the airfoil. This affects their function and life.

Bei der vorbekannten Vorrichtung sind Dichtungen vorgesehen, um den Austritt von Staub aus der Kammer zu verhindern. Die Dichtungen sind am unteren Ende der Halterung befestigt und damit für eine kabinenaußenseitige Abdichtung des Spalts ausgelegt. Allerdings bietet diese Konstruktion keine ausreichende Sicherheit, dass die Kabine insgesamt staubdicht verschlossen ist.In the prior art device seals are provided to prevent the escape of dust from the chamber. The seals are attached to the lower end of the bracket and thus designed for a cabin outside sealing of the gap. However, this construction does not provide sufficient security that the cabin is completely sealed dust-tight.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Strahlvorrichtung zu schaffen, bei der der Austritt von Staub aus der Strahlkabine wirksam unterbunden ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a jet device in which the escape of dust from the blast cabin is effectively prevented.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Strahlvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Dichtung den Spalt von der Kabineninnenseite her abdichtet.This object is achieved with a jet device of the type mentioned above in that the seal seals the gap from the inside of the cabin.

Da die Dichtung erfindungsgemäß auf der Kabineninnenseite angeordnet ist, wird bereits das Eindringen von Staub in den Spalt wirksam unterbunden. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass kein Staub aus der Kabine zu dem Schaufelblatt gelangen kann.Since the seal according to the invention is arranged on the inside of the cabin, the penetration of dust into the gap is already effectively prevented. In this way it is ensured that no dust from the cabin can get to the blade.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Halterung eine Anlagefläche aufweisen, an der die aus der Strahlkabine weisende Fläche der Schaufelplattform zumindest teilweise anliegt. Hierbei ist vorteilhaft, dass die Turbinenschaufel eine zusätzlich Stabilisierung in der Halterung erfährt.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the holder may have a contact surface against which the surface of the blade platform pointing out of the blasting cubicle rests at least partially. It is advantageous that the turbine blade undergoes additional stabilization in the holder.

Die Halterung kann auch ausgebildet sein, um die Turbinenschaufel vertikal hängend aufzunehmen. In diesem Fall trägt die Schwerkraft zur Stabilisierung der Turbinenschaufel in der Halterung bei.The holder may also be designed to receive the turbine blade suspended vertically. In this case, gravity contributes to the stabilization of the turbine blade in the holder.

Es kann auch ein Aufsatz vorgesehen sein, der auf der Kammerinnenseite die Schaufelplattform und die Dichtung übergreift. Vorteilhafterweise schirmt der Aufsatz die Dichtung gegenüber dem in der Kabine vorhandenen Strahlgut ab. Hierdurch wird insbesondere die Lebensdauer der Dichtung erhöht, da diese beim Strahlprozess nicht mehr abgenutzt wird.It can also be provided an essay, which engages over the blade platform and the seal on the inside of the chamber. Advantageously, the attachment shields the seal against the blasting material present in the cabin. As a result, in particular the life of the seal is increased because it is no longer worn during the blasting process.

Um eine sichere Verbindung zwischen dem Aufsatz und der Halterung zu gewährleisten, können beide Bauteile durch eine Befestigungseinrichtung miteinander verbunden sein. Dafür eignen sich beispielsweise Schrauben oder Spannmittel verschiedener Art. Beim Verspannen der Bauteile wird die dazwischen liegende Dichtung komprimiert und so in den Spalt zwischen der Halterung und der Schaufelplattform hinein gedrückt, wodurch der Grad der Abdichtung weiter erhöht wird.In order to ensure a secure connection between the attachment and the holder, both components can be connected to each other by a fastening device. For example, screws or clamping means of various types are suitable. When clamping the components, the intermediate seal is compressed and thus pressed into the gap between the holder and the blade platform, whereby the degree of sealing is further increased.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich vorzusehen, dass die Dichtung an dem Aufsatz befestigt ist. Hierdurch ist ein schnelles, präzises und gleichzeitiges Anordnen des Aufsatzes und der Dichtung möglich. Außerdem wird ein Verrutschen der Dichtung verhindert. Um den Austausch und die Wartung der Dichtung zu erleichtern, kann sie insbesondere abnehmbar an dem Aufsatz befestigt sein.It is also possible to provide that the seal is attached to the attachment. As a result, a quick, precise and simultaneous arrangement of the essay and the seal is possible. In addition, slipping of the seal is prevented. In order to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the seal, it may in particular be removably attached to the attachment.

Der zu strahlende Teil der Turbinenschaufel kann zumindest von deren Schaufelfuß und gegebenenfalls von Bereichen der dem Schaufelfuß zugewandten Seite der Schaufelplattform gebildet werden.The part of the turbine blade to be radiated can be formed at least from its blade root and optionally from regions of the blade root facing side of the blade platform.

In diesem Fall kann die Strahlvorrichtung ein Abdeckelement aufweisen, welches an der im hängenden Zustand obenliegenden Unterseite des Schäufelfußes anliegt. Wenn die Turbinenschaufel Kühlluftbohrungen aufweist, befinden sich die zugehörigen Lufteintrittsöffnungen der Kühlluftkanäle in der Unterseite des Schaufelfußes. Da die Kühlluftkanäle häufig mit empfindlichen Beschichtungen versehen sind, ist es notwendig, das Eindringen von Staub während des Strahlprozesses zu verhindern. Gemäß dieser Ausführungsform der Erfindung werden die Lufteintrittsöffnungen von dem Abdeckelement verschlossen.In this case, the blasting device may have a covering element which rests against the underside of the blade base which is overhead when suspended. If the turbine blade has cooling air holes, the associated air inlet openings of the cooling air channels are located in the underside of the blade root. Since the cooling air ducts are often provided with sensitive coatings, it is necessary to prevent the ingress of dust during the blasting process. According to this embodiment of the invention, the air inlet openings are closed by the cover.

Es können Spannelemente vorgesehen sein, die ein Verspannen des Abdeckelements mit dem Aufsatz und/oder der Halterung ermöglichen. Hierdurch wird einerseits das Abdeckelement in seiner räumlichen Lage fixiert und andererseits die Turbinenschaufel in der Halterung eingespannt.It can be provided clamping elements that allow a distortion of the cover with the attachment and / or the holder. As a result, on the one hand the cover is fixed in its spatial position and on the other hand clamped the turbine blade in the holder.

Ein grobporiger Schaumstoff kann als Dichtungsmaterial verwendet werden. Dieses Material ist besonders geeignet, da es einerseits eine hohe Dichtigkeit gewährleistet und andererseits eine ausreichende Widerstandsfähigkeit und damit auch eine lange Lebensdauer besitzt.A coarse-pored foam can be used as the sealing material. This material is particularly suitable because it ensures both a high density and on the other hand has sufficient resistance and thus a long life.

Die Dichtung kann 1 bis 15 mm dick sein. Wenn die Dichtung weniger als 1 mm dick ist, besteht die Gefahr einer unzureichenden Abdichtung, wohingegen Dichtungen mit einer Dicke von mehr als 15 mm anfällig für Verschleiß sind. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Dicken von 2 bis 10 mm und insbesondere 5 mm geeignet sind, eine hohe Dichtigkeit bei gleichzeitig geringem Verschleiß zu gewährleisten.The seal can be 1 to 15 mm thick. If the seal is less than 1 mm thick, there is a risk of insufficient sealing, whereas seals with a thickness of more than 15 mm are susceptible to wear. It has been found that thicknesses of 2 to 10 mm and in particular 5 mm are suitable for ensuring a high level of tightness with at the same time low wear.

Um die Gefahr des Austritts von Staub aus der Kabine noch weiter zu reduzieren, kann auch eine Absaugvorrichtung vorgesehen sein. Diese entfernt den entstehenden Staub kontinuierlich aus der Kabine.In order to further reduce the risk of the escape of dust from the cabin, a suction device may also be provided. This removes the resulting dust continuously from the cabin.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die angefügte Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In der Zeichnung zeigt:

Figur 1
eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Strahlvorrichtung.
In the drawing shows:
FIG. 1
a schematic representation of a jet device according to the invention.

In der Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Strahlvorrichtung 1 zum Strahlen eines Teils einer Turbinenschaufel 2 dargestellt. Die Turbinenschaufel 2 besteht aus einem Schaufelfuß 3, einer Schaufelplattform 4 und einem Schaufelblatt 5.In the FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a blasting device 1 according to the invention for blasting a part of a turbine blade 2 is shown. The turbine blade 2 consists of a blade root 3, a blade platform 4 and an airfoil 5.

Die Strahlvorrichtung 1 weist eine Strahlkabine 6, eine damit verbundene, nicht gezeigte Strahleinrichtung zur Abgabe von beschleunigtem Strahlgut und eine Halterung 7 für die Turbinenschaufel 2 auf.The blasting device 1 has a blasting cabin 6, a blasting device, not shown, for dispensing accelerated blasting material and a holder 7 for the turbine blade 2.

In der Strahlkabine 6 ist eine Einsetzöffnung 8 ausgebildet, durch die das Schaufelblatt 5 der Turbinenschaufel 2 hindurch geführt ist. Die Halterung 7 ist im Inneren der Strahlkabine 6 die Einsetzöffnung 8 einfassend angeordnet, wobei sie die Turbinenschaufel 2 vertikal hängend aufnimmt. Dazu ist an der Halterung 7 eine Anlagefläche 9 ausgebildet, an der die aus der Strahlkabine 6 weisende Fläche der Schaufelplattform 4 bereichsweise anliegt. Hierdurch wird zwischen der Halterung 7 und der Schaufelplattform 4 ein Spalt 10 ausgebildet, der bis zur Einsetzöffnung 8 reicht. Dieser Spalt 10 ist kabineninnenseitig durch eine Dichtung 11, welche aus einem grobporigen Schaumstoff besteht und 1 bis 15 mm dick ist, abgedichtet.In the blast cabinet 6, an insertion opening 8 is formed, through which the airfoil 5 of the turbine blade 2 is guided. The holder 7 is arranged enclosing the insertion opening 8 inside the blasting cubicle 6, wherein it receives the turbine blade 2 suspended vertically. For this purpose, a contact surface 9 is formed on the holder 7, on which the area of the blade platform 4 pointing from the blasting cubicle 6 abuts in regions. As a result, a gap 10 is formed between the holder 7 and the blade platform 4, which extends to the insertion opening 8. This gap 10 is cabin inside sealed by a seal 11, which consists of a coarse-pored foam and 1 to 15 mm thick.

Die Strahlvorrichtung 1 weist außerdem einen Aufsatz 12 auf, welcher auf der Kabineninnenseite die Schaufelplattform 4 und die Dichtung 11 übergreift. Vorteilhafterweise wird so die Dichtung 11 vor dem Strahlgut geschützt, was deren Lebensdauer erhöht.The blasting device 1 also has an attachment 12, which overlaps the blade platform 4 and the seal 11 on the inside of the cabin. Advantageously, so the seal 11 is protected from the blasting, which increases their life.

Die Dichtung 11 kann abnehmbar an dem Aufsatz 12 befestigt sein. Außerdem können die Halterung 7 und der Aufsatz 12 über eine nicht gezeigte Befestigungseinrichtung miteinander verbunden sein.The seal 11 may be detachably attached to the attachment 12. In addition, the holder 7 and the attachment 12 can be connected to each other via a fastening device, not shown.

An der obenliegenden Unterseite des Schaufelfußes 3 liegt ein Abdeckelement 13 an. Es ist über hier als Federhalter ausgebildete Spannelemente 14 mit dem Aufsatz 12 verspannt und so in seiner räumlichen Lage fixiert. Dabei verschließt das Abdeckelement 13 nicht gezeigte, in dem Schaufelfuß 3 ausgebildete, Lufteinlassöffnungen. Wenn die Halterung 7 über die Befestigungseinrichtung mit dem Aufsatz 12 verbunden ist, ist gleichzeitig der Schaufelfuß eingespannt.On the upper underside of the blade root 3 is a cover 13 at. It is clamped over here designed as a spring holder clamping elements 14 with the article 12 and thus fixed in its spatial position. In this case, the cover 13 closes not shown, formed in the blade root 3, air inlet openings. When the holder 7 is connected via the fastening device with the attachment 12, at the same time the blade root is clamped.

Um mit der Strahlvorrichtung 1 die Turbinenschaufel 2 zu strahlen, wird aus der Strahleinrichtung zur Abgabe von beschleunigtem Strahlgut ein Strahlgut mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in die Strahlkabine 6 abgegeben. Dieses Strahlgut trifft auf die nicht abgedeckten Bereiche des Schaufelfußes 3 und der Schaufelplattform 4. Dabei wird Staub gebildet, der jedoch durch das Abdeckelement 13 davon abgehalten wird, in die Lufteintrittsöffnungen der Kühlluftkanäle einzudringen. Weiterhin verhindert die Dichtung 11, dass der Staub in den Spalt 10 eindringt, so dass die Strahlkabine 6 insgesamt staubdicht gegenüber der Umgebung verschlossen ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass kein Staub aus der Strahlkabine 6 auf das Schaufelblatt 5 gelangen kann.In order to irradiate the turbine blade 2 with the blasting device 1, a blasting material is emitted into the blasting cubicle 6 at high speed from the blasting device in order to deliver accelerated blasting material. This blasting material impinges on the uncovered areas of the blade root 3 and the blade platform 4. In this case, dust is formed, which is prevented by the cover 13 of it, however, penetrate into the air inlet openings of the cooling air ducts. Furthermore, the seal 11 prevents the dust from penetrating into the gap 10, so that the blast cabin 6 as a whole is sealed against the environment in a dustproof manner. This ensures that no dust from the blasting cabin 6 can reach the blade 5.
