Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for axial securing of rotor blades in a rotor of a gas turbine according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the assembly 10 comprises a shaft collar 21 formed by a rotor disk 19, which shaft collar 21 is part of the rotor 23 of a gas turbine.
  • the blade feet 54 of the respective blades 14 are inserted, which are secured against displacement along the groove 12.
  • sealing elements 16 are provided, which cover the end-side opening of the respective groove 12 at least partially and the assembled form a frontal sealing ring.
  • an annular groove 20 is provided in which sit in the substantially rectangular sealing elements 16.
  • the sealing elements 16 lie in grooves 24, which are provided on the undersides 26 of the platforms 28 of the blades 14.
  • at least one of the sealing elements 16 comprises a metal strip 30 fastened thereto with a leg 64, which leg 64 either on the rotor blades 14 or their platforms 28 (FIG. FIG. 1 ) or on the rotor disk 19 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) itself positively rests.
  • the sealing elements 16 also have the task of guiding a cooling air flow along the end face of the rotor disk 19.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an arrangement for axial securing of blades in a rotor of a gas turbine, in which the sealing elements are particularly reliable mountable and disassembled.
  • the solution provides that the material of the metal strip is a shape memory alloy.
  • the shape memory alloy as the material for the metal strip, both the assembly and the functional reliability of the metal strip can be increased.
  • Made of shape memory alloys components are characterized by the fact that they can permanently change their outer shape while maintaining high strength by the action of temperature. These components may therefore have a first geometry, i. Shape, contour and have a second geometry. These components can be deformed back from the second geometry to the first geometry solely by a heat treatment.
  • the geometry which the metal strip assumes after heat treatment is also referred to below as functional geometry.
  • the second geometry can be almost arbitrary and can be specified during manufacture of the component.
  • the sheet metal strip is produced in such a form as it should later secure the position of the sealing elements in the installed state.
  • This preliminary shape corresponds to the first geometry.
  • Even before installation of the sheet metal strip is then deformed in a suitable manner in the second geometry, so that it can be attached to the sealing element.
  • the sealing element is mounted on the shaft collar.
  • a temperature treatment whereby the metal strip tries to reform into its first geometry.
  • the temperature treatment can either be done before starting the gas turbine by heating by means of an external heat source. Or the first operation of the gas turbine, in which high temperatures occur, can trigger the deformation of the metal strip. It is also possible that both temperature treatments are applied to achieve a final deformation of the sheet metal strip.
  • the metal strip has assumed its functional geometry and secures the sealing element both against loss from a shift in the circumferential direction. If function geometry and first geometry differ from each other, a prestressed attachment of sealing element resp. Sheet metal strips are achieved.
  • the material has a one-way effect. This means that a single change in shape takes place when the metal strip, which has previously been deformed pseudoplastic in the martensitic state, is heated up. Cooling after heating causes no change in shape. The metal strip remains in its first geometry or functional geometry.
  • the leg of the sheet metal strip is after playing thermal treatment either with play, without play or under a bias on the blades or on the shaft collar.
  • the embodiments known from the prior art can be developed in this way.
  • the bias generated by the metal strip according to the invention then acts namely between the blade and sealing element that the seated in the groove outer end of the sealing element due to the bias against a side wall of the groove, which is arranged in the bottom of the platform of the blade, can be pressed flat.
  • the flat pressing leads to a particularly dense concern of the sealing element in the outer groove. Leakage of cooling air conducted by the sealing element, which leakage could occur between the outer end of the sealing element and the groove, can thereby be reduced and at best avoided.
  • the metal strip 30 shown there may be according to the invention of a shape memory alloy.
  • illustrated geometry of the metal strip 30 represents the first geometry.
  • the metal strip 30 can then be deformed back into the functional geometry by a heat treatment and the positive connection between itself and the platforms 28 (FIG. FIG. 1 ) or the rotor disk 19 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) produce. If the functional geometry corresponds to the first geometry, the sheet-metal strip 30 and thus the sealing element 16 sits unrestrained or with play on the rotor 23.
  • embodiment of the inventively designed metal strip 30, which has a functional geometry that differs at least slightly from the first geometry, so as to a bias between blade 14, respectively.
  • a bias voltage is achieved when the first geometry of the sheet metal strip 30 is chosen so that it can not be achieved despite the heat treatment due to a mechanical blockage by other machine components.
  • the metal strip 30 remains in the functional geometry and biased against the blocking machine component.
  • the blocking machine component may be formed by the groove 24, the annular groove 20, the platform 28 of the blade 14 or by the shaft collar 21.
  • the sealing element 16 can be sealed radially outwardly against the side wall of the groove 24 located in the underside 26 of the platform 28 and / or radially inwardly against a side wall of the annular groove 20 be pressed, whereby a leakage of the sealing element guided cooling air can be reduced and possibly even avoided.
  • FIGS. 3 to 7 different configurations with different metal strips 30 shown. All sheet metal strips 30 shown therein have in common that they are fastened in a suitable manner to a sealing element 16.
  • Each of the Figure 3-7 contains three partial representations, which have either the suffix a, b or c.
  • the partial representations according to suffix a show the sheet-metal strip 30 according to the invention in its original geometry, ie first geometry, wherein the sheet-metal strip 30 is fastened to the sealing element 16 with suitable means but not further illustrated.
  • the metal strips 30 are transferred by a pseudoplastic deformation in the second geometry.
  • the partial representations according to suffix b show the respective metal strip 30 having the second geometry in the installation or assembly situation.
  • the metal strips 30 are each shown in their functional geometry, which you after a single successful Achieve warming and which they then permanently with high strength maintained.
  • closure element 40 is shown, with which the metal strip 30 can be brought into positive engagement.
  • the sheet metal strip 30 is only subjected to the heat treatment, so that it tries to get from the second geometry in the first geometry.
  • the closure element 40 can be configured as desired and places in the FIGS. 3 to 7 Representing either arranged on the shaft collar 21 pocket or arranged between the platforms 26 adjacent blades 14, tapered recess in an abstract manner.
  • the inventive consisting of a shape memory alloy, for securing the sealing element 16 against displacement in the circumferential direction attached thereto sheet metal strip 30 has a cross-sectionally L-shaped, first geometry.
  • the sheet-metal strip comprises two legs 62, 64.
  • One of the two legs of the sheet-metal strip, for example the leg 62, is fastened to the sealing element 16 by suitable means.
  • the leg 62 of the sheet metal strip 30 may be soldered to the sealing element 16.
  • the other leg 64 then serves for the positive fastening of the sealing element 16 or the metal strip 30 in a recess 38.
  • the recess 38 may also alternatively, as in FIG. 1 shown to be tapered between the platforms 28 of two immediately adjacent blades 14. Or the recess 38 can be formed by two teeth 68 arranged on the rotor disk 19 ( FIG. 2 ).
  • FIG. 3 alternative embodiment of the metal strip 30 shows FIG. 4 ,
  • the metal strip 30 comprises in the first geometry according to FIGS. 4a, 4c a beaded end 65, which can be converted by a pseudoplastic deformation in a second geometry.
  • the end 65 is plate-shaped formed, which allows the mounting of the sealing element in the arrangement.
  • FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show embodiments of a closure element 40 and a metal strip 30, in which the geometry of the closure element 40 and the first geometry of the sheet metal strip are selected so that a biasing force of metal strip 30 can act on the closure member 40.
  • a biasing force of metal strip 30 By means of the biasing force is a play-free attachment of metal strips 30 respectively.
  • Sealing element 16 is achieved on the closure element 40.
  • the function geometry differs from the first geometry.
  • the achievement of the first geometry of the shape memory alloy existing metal strip 30 during the heat treatment is prevented due to the selected shape of the closure member 40 by the complete recovery of the metal strip 30 is at least partially blocked by the closure member 40.
  • a play-free and prestressed attachment of sealing element 16 and closure element 40 can be achieved. Consequently, the embodiment differs according to FIG. 5 from FIG. 3 only in the form and contour of the closure element.
