Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for blade tip machining of running with integrally molded and / or separately mounted conventional blading impeller drums of turbomachinery with rotating impeller drum and an apparatus for performing the method.
  • Impellers of turbomachinery compressors or rotor drums formed by a plurality of interconnected impellers with vanes held in a groove on the disk periphery are known to be ground dry at the blade tips by high speed grinding in which the drum rotates at high speed. Similar to the rotational movement in the installed state in the turbomachine, the blades held in the groove are pressed outward due to the centrifugal force, so that the blade tips can be ground to the smallest possible gap distance to the housing, which is also effective for achieving a high efficiency and a low surge limit should be present in practical operation.
  • the blade tip grinding of the high-speed rotating drum with conventionally mounted blading also has the advantage that the blades are elastically supported during machining due to the centrifugal force acting on them and are thus not loaded too high.
  • BLISK integrally manufactured wheels
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for tip machining of integrally molded and / or separately mounted blading compressor drums of turbomachinery, which prevents damage to the blades during grinding and setting an optimal blade tip distance to the housing and thus to achieve a high Compressor efficiency and a high surge limit guaranteed.
  • the basic idea of the invention is the machining of the completely assembled impeller drum (compressor drum) in a single device in which the rotating workpiece carrier, such as the turbomachine shaft on which the impeller drum is later mounted, is formed and the impeller drum is also correspondingly connected to the thus formed workpiece carrier is.
  • the machining of integrally molded blades is liquid-fed at a speed which may be less than the dry-working speed of the conventionally-formed blades.
  • the area for dry machining conventional blades is shielded from the wet and liquid chips produced by wet machining by an adjustable separator.
  • impeller drums having integrally molded and / or conventionally formed blades on the blade tips can be used machined in high accuracy and without damaging the integrally molded or adjacent these conventionally formed blades. Due to the machining of both integrally and conventionally bladed drums in one piece and in one and the same machine tool Minimal tolerances are achieved with respect to the outer diameter of the impeller drum and thus optimum gap ratios and improved efficiency of the turbomachine.
  • grinding wheels are provided with a liquid supply for the wet grinding of the drums or drum parts with integrally molded blades and grinding wheels for the dry grinding of drums or drum parts with conventional blading.
  • milling tools for example, milling tools or other tools for blade tip machining can be arranged.
  • the respective tool holders are associated with tool magazines for rapid tool change, for example for the machining of blades made of different materials.
  • the device may comprise brushing tools or other tools.
  • the existing titanium first drum 1 comprises four discs in blisk construction, that is with one piece a disc 2 formed blade rings or blades 3 formed Blisks 4, which are joined together by welding.
  • the second drum 5 - here made of a nickel-based material - comprises two welded together, but conventionally manufactured wheels 6, consisting of a disc 7, on the outer circumference in a groove separately manufactured blades 8 are held.
  • the two drums 1 and 5 are joined together via connecting means 9 into a single drum assembly (impeller drum).
  • the thus formed impeller drum 10 is by means of first and second releasable connecting elements 11, 12 at the front and rear ends in a rotatably mounted workpiece carrier 13 (13a / 13b) (auxiliary power shaft, dummy shaft) involved, corresponding to a portion of the engine to drive the impeller drum 10 actually provided engine shaft is formed.
  • a rotatably mounted workpiece carrier 13 13a / 13b
  • auxiliary power shaft, dummy shaft auxiliary power shaft, dummy shaft
  • the device for blade tip machining the impeller drum 10 includes a first, suitable for wet and dry operation machining tool 15 with this associated tool magazine 16 for exchanging the designed here as a grinding wheel tool and an adjustable liquid supply 17, and a second processing tool 18, which is also associated with a tool magazine 16 for the replacement of the tools and an adjustable liquid supply 17 for the optional wet or dry grinding operation.
  • a first, suitable for wet and dry operation machining tool 15 with this associated tool magazine 16 for exchanging the designed here as a grinding wheel tool and an adjustable liquid supply 17, and a second processing tool 18, which is also associated with a tool magazine 16 for the replacement of the tools and an adjustable liquid supply 17 for the optional wet or dry grinding operation.
  • the grinding wheels may be provided.
  • the blade tip processing device shown in the drawing further comprises a movable in the axial direction, here between the adjacent blade rings of a blisk 4 and a conventional impeller 6 arranged, designed as an annular disc separating element 19 whose inner diameter is adapted to the respective drum diameter.
  • the machining of the blade tips of the previously prepared first drum 1 with integrally molded blades 3 and the second drum 5 with conventionally mounted blades 8 is carried out in such a way that in a first step, the first drum 1 and the second drum 5 by means of the connecting means 9 to a assembled, the impeller drum 10 forming assembly are screwed.
  • This assembly is then connected by means of the first and second connecting means 11, 12 at the front and rear side with the front ends of the two portions 13a, 13b of the rotatably mounted and to a drive means (not shown) coupled to the workpiece carrier 13.
  • the partition member 19 is positioned between the blisk-assembled first drum 1 and the conventionally-formed second drum 5.
  • damping elements 20 for further damping of the vibration of the integrally formed blades during wet grinding and splash guard elements can also be attached.
  • the machining of the blade tips of the second drum 5 is carried out by high-speed grinding by the tool carrier 13 rotates at high speed and pressed the blades 8 due to the centrifugal force to the outside of the second processing tool 18 and - if necessary, elastically mounted - at the blade tips are ground, dry, that is with interrupted liquid supply 17b. Subsequently, the machining tool 18 is moved over the adjacent blade ring to - if necessary after a tool change - also to grind these blades 8 in the manner described above.
  • the subsequent processing of the integral and thus rigidly connected to the first drum 1 blades 3 is performed as a wet grinding, that is, with free liquid supply and consequent vibration reduction, and with respect to the high-speed grinding reduced speed successively at the blade tips of the four blisks 4 welded together. Due to the reduced rotational speed of the workpiece holder and in conjunction with the lubrication effect caused by the liquid supply, the vibration of the otherwise highly vibrating blades 3 is significantly reduced, so that the risk of damage to the blades caused by strong vibrations due to cracking no longer exists. The reduced vibrations and the cooling effect of the liquid also prevent the formation of sparks and thus the damage of adjacent blades by flying sparks.
  • damping elements 20 and splash guard elements may be attached to these blades 3.
  • the separator 19 shields the second drum 5 and its conventionally held in a groove blades 8 relative to the wet grinding of the blisks 4 resulting wet grinding sludge, which could settle in the grooves, and also against harmful, possibly made of a different material sparks.
  • brushing tools 21 or other tools are arranged in the device. With the previously described method and the corresponding device or machine tool The blade tips of the one-piece and arranged according to the conditions in the turbomachine compressor drum are machined so that an optimal tip distance to the housing and thus a high efficiency and a high surge limit can be achieved.
