Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen radialen Getriebeverdichten sowie ein Verfahren zum Montieren der Verdichterstufe des radialen Getriebeverdichters.The invention relates to a radial gear compression and a method for mounting the compressor stage of the radial gear compressor.

Verdichter bzw. fluidekomprimierende Vorrichtungen werden in verschiedenen Industriebereichen für verschiedene Anwendungen genutzt, bei denen es um eine Kompression oder Verdichtung von Fluiden, im Speziellen (Prozess-)Gasen, geht. Bekannte Beispiele hierfür sind Turboverdichter in mobilen industriellen Anwendungen, wie in Abgasturboladern oder in Strahltriebwerken, oder auch in stationaren industriellen Anwendungen, wie Getriebe- bzw. Getriebeturboverdichter für eine Luftzerlegung.Compressors or fluid compressing devices are used in various industries for various applications involving compression or compression of fluids, especially (process) gases. Well-known examples of this are turbo compressors in mobile industrial applications, such as in exhaust gas turbochargers or in jet engines, or even in stationary industrial applications, such as transmission turbo compressors for air separation.

Bei einem solchen - in seiner Arbeitsweise kontinuierlich arbeitenden - Turboverdichter wird die Druckerhöhung (Verdichtung) des Fluids dadurch bewirkt, dass ein Drehimpuls des Fluids von Eintritt zu Austritt durch ein rotierendes, radial erstreckende Schaufeln aufweisendes Laufrad des Turboverdichters durch die Rotation von den Schaufeln erhöht wird. Hier, d.h. in einer solchen Verdichterstufe, steigen Druck und Temperatur des Fluids, während die relative (Strömungs-)Geschwindigkeit des Fluids im Laufrad sinkt. Um eine möglichst hohe Druckerhöhung bzw. Verdichtung des Fluids zu erreichen, können mehrere solcher Verdichterstufen hintereinander geschaltet werden.In such - in its operation continuously working - turbo compressor, the pressure increase (compression) of the fluid is effected by an angular momentum of the fluid from entry to exit by a rotating radially extending blades having impeller of the turbo compressor is increased by the rotation of the blades , Here, i. In such a compressor stage, pressure and temperature of the fluid increase while the relative (flow) velocity of the fluid in the impeller decreases. In order to achieve the highest possible pressure increase or compression of the fluid, a plurality of such compressor stages can be connected in series.

Als Bauformen von Turboverdichtern unterscheidet man zwischen Radial- und Axialverdichtern.As types of turbocompressors, a distinction is made between radial and axial compressors.

Bei dem Axialverdichter strömt das zur komprimierende Fluid, beispielsweise ein Prozessgas, in paralleler Richtung zur Achse (Axialrichtung) durch den Verdichter. Bei dem Radialverdichter strömt das Gas axial in das Laufrad der Verdichterstufe und wird dann nach außen (radial, Radialrichtung) abgelenkt. Bei mehrstufigen Radialverdichtern wird damit hinter jeder Stufe eine Strömungsumlenkung notwendig.In the axial compressor, the fluid to be compressed, for example, a process gas, flows in a direction parallel to the axis (axial direction) through the compressor. In which Radial compressor flows the gas axially into the impeller of the compressor stage and is then deflected outwards (radial, radial direction). With multi-stage centrifugal compressors, a flow diversion becomes necessary behind each stage.

Kombinierte Bauarten von Axial- und Radialverdichtern saugen mit ihren Axialstufen große Volumenströme an, die in den anschließenden. Radialstufen auf hohe Drücke komprimiert werden.Combined types of axial and radial compressors suck with their axial stages large volume flows, which in the subsequent. Radial stages are compressed to high pressures.

Während meist einwellige Maschinen zum Einsatz kommen, sind bei Getriebeverdichtern die einzelnen Verdichterstufen um ein Großrad herum gruppiert, wobei mehrere parallele Wellen, die jeweils ein oder zwei - in Spiralgehäusen aufgenommene - Laufräder tragen, von einem großen Antriebszahnrad, einem Großrad, angetrieben werden.While mostly single-shaft machines are used, gear compressor compressors, the individual compressor stages are grouped around a large wheel, with several parallel shafts, each carrying one or two - housed in spiral housings - wheels are driven by a large drive gear, a large wheel.

Zur Optimierung der Strömungsführung durch den Verdichter bzw. durch eine Verdichterstufe und damit zur Optimierung des Leistungsverhaltens des Verdichters bzw. der Verdichterstufe list es ferner bekannt, dem Laufrad einen Eintrittsleitapparat (kurz im Folgenden ELA) vor- und/oder dem Laufrad einen Austrittsleitapparat (kurz im Folgenden ALA) nachzuschalten.To optimize the flow guidance through the compressor or by a compressor stage and thus to optimize the performance of the compressor or the compressor stage list it also known, the impeller inlet Einleitleitat (shortly below ELA) and / or the impeller an outlet guide (short in the following ALA).

Ein solcher Getriebeverdichter, ein Getriebeturboverdichter der Firma Siemens mit der Bezeichnung STC-GC, eingesetzt für die Luftzerlegung, ist aus http://www.energy.siemens.com/hq/de/verdichtung-expansionventilation/turboverdichter/getriebeturboverdichter/stc-gc. htm (erhältlich am 10.01.2011) bekannt.Such a gear compressor, a gear turbo compressor from Siemens called STC-GC, used for the air separation, is from http://www.energy.siemens.com/hq/en/compression-expansionventilation/turbo-compressor/transmissionurbo-compressor/stc-gc , htm (available on January 10, 2011).

Aus dem Dokument US 5 490 760 ist ein radialer Getriebeverdichter der eingangs genannten Art bekannt.From the document US 5,490,760 is a radial gear compressor of the type mentioned above.

Ferner ist bekannt, dass bei einem Getriebeverdichter, beispielsweise für die Luftzerlegung, in der Regel ein großer Fahrbereich in einem Kennfeld des Verdichters in Richtung kleinerer Volumenströme bei nahezu konstantem Druck (Turn-Down-Fahrbereich) gefordert wird.Furthermore, it is known that in a gear compressor, for example, for the air separation, usually a large driving range in a map of the compressor in the direction smaller volume flows at almost constant pressure (turn-down driving range) is required.

Würden diese Getriebeverdichter für einen Enddruck auslegt werden, der dem geforderten Enddruck in den Betriebspunkten entspricht, wäre der Turn-Down-Fahrbereich zu klein. Deshalb werden Getriebeverdichter in der Regel für einen höheren Enddruck, ausgelegt, sodass das Kennfeld (i. d. R. Drall-Kennfeld) bei dem geforderten Enddruck der Betriebspunkte eine erforderliche Breite aufweist.If these transmission compressors were designed for a final pressure that corresponds to the required final pressure at the operating points, the turn-down driving range would be too small. As a result, transmission compressors are usually designed for a higher final pressure, so that the characteristic diagram (in the sense of the twist characteristic curve) has a required width at the required final pressure of the operating points.

Allerdings liegen dann die Betriebspunkte der Getriebeverdichter relativ weit vom Wirkungsgradmaximum entfernt, welches in der Regel in der Nähe des internen Auslegepunktes liegt.However, then the operating points of the gear compressor are relatively far away from the maximum efficiency, which is usually in the vicinity of the internal Auslegepunktes.

Eine mögliche Verbesserung ließe sich erreichen, wenn im Kennfeld ein flacherer Pumpgrenzlinienverlauf, und dadurch die notwendige Kennfeldbreite bei höherem Wirkungsgrad, erreicht werden könnte.A possible improvement could be achieved if in the map a flatter pump boundary line curve, and thus the necessary map width could be achieved with higher efficiency.

Um Einfluss auf das Kennfeld zu nehmen, ist es bekannt, einen Anströmwinkel von Schaufeln eines Austrittsleitapparates, kurz im Folgenden Austrittsleitschaufeln, zu verändern.In order to influence the characteristic map, it is known to change the angle of attack of blades of an outlet guide apparatus, in the following referred to as outlet guide vanes.

Eine solche Einflussnahme auf das Strömungsbild nach dem Laufrad eines Verdichters bzw. einer Verdichterstufe muss auf eine Strömungsführung vor dem Laufrad, d.h. im Eintrittleitapparat, abgestimmt sein, was eine abgestimmte bzw. kombinierte Verstellung von Eintritts- und Austrittsleitschaufeln erfordert.Such influence on the flow pattern after the impeller of a compressor or a compressor stage must be limited to a flow guide in front of the impeller, i. in the inlet guide, be matched, which requires a coordinated or combined adjustment of inlet and outlet guide vanes.

Eine Kulisse ist ein im Maschinenbau eingesetztes Getriebeelement zur Kraftübertragung (Kulissenführung).A backdrop is a used in mechanical transmission element for power transmission (link guide).

Die Kulisse weist einen Schlitz, Steg oder eine Nut auf, in/auf der/dem ein Kulissenstein beidseitig zwangsgeführt ist, um eine Bewegung der Kulisse in eine Bewegung des Kulissensteins umzusetzen. Eine Übertragungsfunktion (auch Kopplungsfunktion) der Kulissenführung wird durch den Verlauf der Führung, d. h. durch den Verlauf des Schlitzes, Steges oder der Nut, bestimmt und ist in weiten Grenzen frei wählbar. Die Kulissenführung wird insbesondere zur Realisierung komplexer Übertragungsfunktionen eingesetzt.The gate has a slot, web or a groove in / on which a sliding block is forcibly guided on both sides to a movement of the backdrop in a movement of the Implementing Kulissenstein. A transfer function (also coupling function) of the slotted guide is determined by the course of the guide, ie by the course of the slot, web or groove, and is freely selectable within wide limits. The slotted guide is used in particular for the realization of complex transfer functions.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Winkelverstellung von Schaufeln eines Austrittsleitapparats eines Verdichters anzugeben, welche die Nachteile aus dem Stand der Technik verbessert, einfach und kostengünstig zur realisieren und auch einfach und kostengünstig zu montieren bzw. in einen Verdichter bzw. einer Verdichterstufe einzubauen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a device for angular adjustment of blades of a Austrittsleitapparats a compressor, which improves the disadvantages of the prior art, easy and inexpensive to implement and also easy and inexpensive to assemble or in a compressor or a compressor stage is to be installed.

Die Aufgabe wird durch den radialen Getriebeverdichter sowie durch das Verfahren zum Montieren der Verdichterstufe des radialen Getriebeverdichters mit den Merkmalen gemäß dem jeweiligen unabhängigen Patentanspruch gelost.The object is achieved by the radial gear compressor and by the method for mounting the compressor stage of the radial gear compressor with the features according to the respective independent claim.

Die Vorrichtung zur Winkelverstellung von Schaufeln eines Austrittsleitapparats eines Verdichters umfasst mehrere (winkel-)verstellbare Schaufeln, welche jeweils auf einer Welle in einem Gehäuse, insbesondere in einem Spiralgehäuse, gelagert sind.The device for angular adjustment of blades of an outlet guide of a compressor comprises a plurality of (angle) adjustable blades, which are each mounted on a shaft in a housing, in particular in a spiral housing.

Die Wellen weisen jeweils einen (Verstell-)Hebel auf bzw. sind jeweils mit einem (Verstell-)Hebel verbunden, welcher unter Verwendung einer Kulisse - insbesondere über an den (Verstell-)Hebeln gelagerten und in den Kulissen geführten Rollen - geführt wird.The shafts each have a (adjustment) lever or are each connected to a (adjusting) lever, which is guided using a link - in particular via the (adjustment) levers mounted and guided in the scenes roles.

Die Kulissen sind wiederum an einem Stellring (auch im Folgenden Kulissenhaltering) angeordnet bzw. mit einem Stellring bzw. Kulissenhaltering verbunden.The scenes are in turn arranged on an adjusting ring (also in the following setting retaining ring) or connected to a setting ring or gate retaining ring.

Bei Verstellung dieses Stellrings lassen sich somit die Schaufeln bzw. die (Anström-)Wihkeln der Schaufeln - entsprechend der durch die Kulisse realisierten Verstellmimik - verstellen, wodurch die Anströmung der Schaufeln verändert und Einfluss auf das Kennfeld des Verdichters genommen werden kann.When adjusting this adjusting ring can thus be the blades or the (inflow) Wihkeln the blades - adjust according to the realized through the backdrop Verstellmimik - whereby the flow of the blades changed and influence on the characteristics of the compressor can be taken.

Bei der Montage dieser Vorrichtung in das Gehäuse des Verdichters - und bei Kopplung der Winkelverstellung des Austrittsleitapparats (ALA) mit einem Eintrittsleitapparat (ELA) bzw. mit einer Winkelverstellung von Schaufeln des Eintrittsleitapparats des Verdichters - werden zunächst die Schaufeln des Austrittleitapparats auf die jeweilige Welle, Rollen an dem jeweiligen (Verstell-)Hebel sowie die Kulissen an den Stellring - und der Stellring an den Eintrittsleitapparat montiert.When mounting this device in the housing of the compressor - and coupling the angle adjustment of the Australsleitapparats (ALA) with a Eintrittsleitapparat (ELA) or with an angular displacement of blades of the inlet guide of the compressor - are first the blades of the Austrittleitapparats on the respective shaft, Rollers on the respective (adjusting) lever and the scenes on the adjusting ring - and the adjusting ring mounted on the inlet guide.

Die Wellen werden in dem Gehäuse und die (Verstell-)Hebeln werden an die Wellen montiert.The shafts are mounted in the housing and the (adjustment) levers are mounted on the shafts.

Danach wird der Eintrittsleitapparat in/an das Gehäuse montiert, wobei die Rollen in die jeweilige Kulisse eingeführt werden, wodurch die Kopplung der Winkelverstellung von ALA und ELA realisiert wird.Thereafter, the entrance guide is mounted in / on the housing, with the rollers are inserted into the respective gate, whereby the coupling of the angle adjustment of ALA and ELA is realized.

Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Preferred developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Von besonderem Vorteil bei der Erfindung ist, dass diese einen sehr einfachen, kostengünstigen und flexiblen sowie hoch effizienten Verstellmechanismus für die Schaufeln des ALA realisiert, welcher sich darüber hinaus über Kopplung des Stellrings mit dem ELA bzw. mit dem Verstellmechanismus des ELA an die ELA-Verstellung - durch einen ELA-Verstellzylinder - anbinden lässt (kombinierte ELA-ALA-(Winkel-)Verstellung) - und damit keinen eigenen, separaten Antrieb zur Verstellung erfordert.A particular advantage of the invention is that it realizes a very simple, inexpensive and flexible and highly efficient adjustment mechanism for the blades of the ALA, which moreover, via coupling of the adjusting ring with the ELA or with the adjustment mechanism of the ELA to the ELA Adjustment - by means of an ELA adjustment cylinder - can be connected (combined ELA-ALA (angle) adjustment) - and thus requires no separate, separate drive for adjustment.

Eine kombinierte, aufeinander abstimmbare ELA-ALA-Winkelverstellung und damit eine gewünschte Einflussnahme auf das Kennfeld des Verdichters (zur Optimierung dessen Leistungsverhalten) wird möglich.
Darüber hinaus erweist sich von Vorteil, dass ein solcher kombinierter ELA-ALA-Verstellmechanismus innerhalb des Gehäuses, von außen unsichtbar angeordnet werden kann.
A combined, mutually tunable ELA-ALA angle adjustment and thus a desired influence on the map of the compressor (to optimize its performance) is possible.
In addition, it proves to be advantageous that such a combined ELA-ALA adjustment mechanism can be arranged inside the housing, invisibly from the outside.

Über eine - durch einfache Bearbeitungsverfahren - flexible Gestaltung der Kulisse bzw. der Kulissenführung, beispielsweise durch spanende Bearbeitung einer Nut oder eines Schlitzes in der Kulisse und/oder über eine Ausrichtung der Kulisse am Stellring, lassen sich beliebige Kopplungsfunktionen bzw. Verstellmimiken - für die kombinierte Winkelverstellung - realisieren.About a - simple processing methods - flexible design of the backdrop or the slide guide, for example, by machining a groove or slot in the backdrop and / or alignment of the scenery on the collar, any coupling functions or Verstellmimiken - for the combined Angle adjustment - realize.

So kann in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung vorgesehen werden, dass die Kulissenführung als Schlitz, Steg oder Nut in/an der Kulisse ausgebildet ist. Bevorzugt kann hier weiter vorgesehen werden, dass als in der Kulisse geführtes Element eine - am (Verstell-)Hebel gelagerte - Rolle verwendet wird. Besonders bevorzugt kann vorgesehen werden, durch spanende Bearbeitung eine, insbesondere gerade, Nut in der Kulisse einzudringen, in welcher dann das geführte Element bzw. die Rolle geführt bzw. bewegt wird.Thus it can be provided in a preferred embodiment that the slotted guide is designed as a slot, web or groove in / on the backdrop. Preferably, it can further be provided here that a roller guided on the (adjusting) lever is used as the element guided in the link. Particularly preferably, it can be provided to penetrate by machining a, in particular straight, groove in the backdrop, in which then the guided element or the role is guided or moved.

Bei solchen geraden Nuten bzw. Langlöchern ist die Herstellung einfach, aber die Kopplung von ELA-Winkel zu ALA-Winkel (kombinierte ELA-ALA-Verstellung) noch Winkelfunktionen unterworfen. Durch entsprechende Bearbeitung, z.B. durch Fräsen, von Führungsflächen bzw. von Abrollflächen (bei in Kulissen geführten Rollen als geführte Elemente) in/an der Kulisse können annähernd beliebige Kopplungsfunktionen umgesetzt werden.In such straight grooves or slots, the production is simple, but the coupling of ELA angle to ALA angle (combined ELA-ALA adjustment) still subjected to trigonometric functions. By appropriate processing, e.g. By milling, of guide surfaces or of rolling surfaces (guided in scenes roles as guided elements) in / on the backdrop can be implemented almost any coupling functions.

Einfache, lineare Kopplungsfunktionen, wie Rampen oder Sägezahnprofile mit beliebigen Steigungen bzw. "Übersetzungen", wie auch komplexe, nicht lineare Kopplungen lassen sich so realisieren.Simple, linear coupling functions, such as ramps or sawtooth profiles with arbitrary gradients or "Translations" as well as complex, non-linear couplings can be realized in this way.

So ist es bespielsweise auch möglich, durch Einarbeiten einer Fläche, die neutral (90°) zum Abrollkreis einer in der Kulisse geführten Rolle steht, die kombinierte ELA-ALA-Verstellung in gewünschten Winkelbereichen des ELA zu entkoppeln (bereichsweise Entkopplung oder Toter Gang).It is also possible, for example, to decouple the combined ELA-ALA adjustment in desired angular ranges of the ELA by incorporating a surface which is neutral (90 °) to the rolling circle of a roller guided in the scenery (in some areas decoupling or dead gear).

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Kulissen über eine oder mehrere Exzentereinheiten, beispielsweise bestehend aus einem Exzenter mit Exzenterbolzen, Klemm- und Verstellschräübe, insbesondere über zwei Exzentereinheiten, mit dem Stellring verschraubt wird. Eine solche Verschraubung der Kulisse mit dem Stellrings durch die eine oder durch die zwei oder mehreren Exzehtereinheiten ermöglicht eine einfache und flexible Aufrichtung der Kulisse am Stellring - und damit Einflüssnahme auf die Kopplungsfunktion. Hierzu kann auch vorgesehen werden, dass - durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung von zum Beispiel des Gehäuses oder anderer Elemente mit Zugangsöffnung oder ähnlichem die Verstellung auch bei montiertem Zustand, z.B. quasi geschlossenes Spiralgehäuse, erfolgen kann.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the scenes via one or more eccentric units, for example consisting of an eccentric with eccentric, clamping and Verstellschräübe, in particular via two eccentric units, is bolted to the adjusting ring. Such screwing the backdrop with the adjusting ring through the one or through the two or more Exzehtereinheiten allows a simple and flexible erection of the backdrop on the collar - and thus Einflüssnahme on the coupling function. For this purpose, it can also be provided that - by appropriate design of, for example, the housing or other elements with access opening or the like, the adjustment also in the mounted state, e.g. virtually closed spiral housing, can be done.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, die Verstellmimik bzw. die Verstellmechanik durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung und/oder Ausrichtung der Kulisse derart einzustellen, dass eine Winkeluntersetzung bei der kombinierten ELA-ALA-Winkelverstellung realisiert wird. D.h., eine größere Winkelverstellung der ELA-Schaufeln führt zu einer kleineren Winkelverstellung bei den ALA-Schaufeln.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided to adjust the adjustment mechanism or the adjusting mechanism by appropriate design and / or orientation of the link in such a way that an angular reduction in the combined ELA-ALA angle adjustment is realized. That is, a greater angular displacement of the ELA blades results in a smaller angular displacement in the ALA blades.

So kann beispielsweise die Verstellmimik derart eingestellt werden, z.B. durch eine entsprechend ausgerichtete Rampe als Kulissenführung, dass eine ELA-Winkelverstellung von 60° zur einer ALA-Winkelverstellung von 45° führt.Thus, for example, the adjustment mimic can be adjusted in such a way, for example by a correspondingly aligned ramp as link guide, that an ELA angle adjustment of 60 ° leads to an ALA angle adjustment of 45 °.

Darüber hinaus erweist sich die Erfindung mit ihrer erfindungsgemäßen Verstellmechanik dahingehen von Vorteil, dass sie in Kraftrichtung ALA -> ELA bzw. entgegen der Verstellrichtung ELA -> ALA (d.h. eine Verstellung der ELA-Schaufeln bewirkt über die durch die Verstellmechahik realisierte Kopplung auch die Vorstellung der ALA-Schaufeln), insbesondere im Bereich einer realisierten Untersetzung, selbsthemmend ist. Damit ist eine zusätzliche Klemmung der Mechanik unnötig, was die Konstruktion einer kombinierten Winkelverstellung entsprechend vereinfacht.In addition, the invention with its adjusting mechanism according to the invention proves to be advantageous in that it causes in the direction of force ALA -> ELA or contrary to the adjustment ELA - > ALA (ie an adjustment of the ELA blades on the realized by the Verstellmechahik coupling also the idea the ALA blades), in particular in the range of a realized reduction, is self-locking. Thus, an additional clamping of the mechanism is unnecessary, which simplifies the construction of a combined angle adjustment accordingly.

Auch ermöglicht die Erfindung, insbesondere durch ihren einfachen, konstruktiven Aufbau, den Einsatz bzw. die Verwendung von handelsüblichen Gleit- und Wälzlagern für die Lagerung bei der Erfindung bewegter Elemente.Also, the invention allows, in particular by its simple, constructive structure, the use or the use of commercially available sliding and rolling bearings for storage in the invention of moving elements.

So kann in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung vorgesehen werden, den (Verstell-)Hebel unter Verwerdung einer am (Verstell-) Hebel angeordneten Rolle in/an der Kulissen zu führen. Diese Rolle kann gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung mittels einer Gleitlagerbuchse und einem Gewindestift am (Verstell-)Hebel befestigt bzw. gelagert - und unter Verwendung eines oder mehrerer Sicherungsringe gesichertwerden..Thus, it can be provided in a preferred embodiment, the (adjustment) lever with the use of a (adjusting) lever arranged in / on the scenes to lead. This role can be fixed or stored according to a further preferred embodiment by means of a plain bearing bush and a threaded pin on the (adjustment) lever - and secured using one or more retaining rings.

Durch eine Verwendung von derartigen Lagerelementen lässt sich ein Reibungsahteil an der bei der Schaufelverstellung, insbesondere kombinierten Schaufelverstellung, aufzubringenden Antriebsleistung minimieren. Auch ermöglicht die Erfindung dadurch, d.h. durch die Verwendung derartiger üblicher Lagerelemente, eine kostengünstige Gestaltung der Winkelverstellung.By using such bearing elements, a frictional ratio can be minimized at the drive power to be applied during blade adjustment, in particular combined blade adjustment. Also, the invention thereby enables, i. through the use of such conventional bearing elements, a cost-effective design of the angle adjustment.

Des Weiteren erweist sich bei der Erfindung von Vorteil, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Komponenten, wie der (Verstell-) Hebel und/oder die Kulisse, als kleine und/oder einfache Dreh- und Frästeile ausgeführt wenden können, die keine weiteren Anforderungen an eine übliche Bearbeitung stellen.Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous in the invention that the components according to the invention, such as the (adjustment) lever and / or the backdrop, can run as small and / or simple turned and milled parts, the no further requirements for a conventional processing put.

Auch ist die Erfindung baugleich für links- und rechtsdrehende Verdichter einsetzbar. Des Weiteren erweist sich bei der Erfindung von Vorteil, dass sie sowohl von der Schaufelzahl des ELA als auch von der Schaufelzahl des ALA unabhängig und damit entsprechend flexibel verwendbar bzw. einsetzbar ist.Also, the invention can be used identical for left- and right-handed compressor. Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous in the invention that it can be used or used independently of the number of blades of the ELA as well as of the number of blades of the ALA and thus correspondingly flexibly.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass der Stellring durch Verbindung mit einem Verstellelement des ELA, beispielweise mit einem Stellring des ELA bzw. mit dem Stellring für die ELA-Schäufeln, verbunden ist. Die Winkelverstellung der ELA-Schaufeln - durch Verdrehung des ELA-Stellrings - führt damit zur (gekoppelten bzw. kombinierten) Winkelverstellung bei den ALA-Schaufeln.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the adjusting ring is connected by connection to an adjusting element of the ELA, for example with a collar of the ELA or with the adjusting ring for the ELA-shovels. The angle adjustment of the ELA blades - by turning the ELA adjusting ring - thus leads to (coupled or combined) angle adjustment of the ALA blades.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen werden, dass die Befestigung der Schaufel an der Welle unter Verwendung einer Muffe ausgeführt ist, wobei die Schaufel, die Muffe und die Welle über einen oder mehrere Stifte, insbesondere einen Gewindestift und/oder einen Spannstift, in axialer Richtung zusammengehalten werden können.In a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that the attachment of the blade to the shaft is carried out using a sleeve, wherein the blade, the sleeve and the shaft via one or more pins, in particular a threaded pin and / or a dowel pin in the axial Direction can be held together.

Aus Festigkeitssicht ist diese Verbindung von Schaufel zu Welle, d.h. die Befestigung der Schaufel an der Welle, ein kritischer Bereich. Im Betrieb des Verdichters ist die Beschaufelung direkt mit dem zu fördernden Fluid in Berührung, da hierdurch der Einfluss auf die Strömungsrichtung genommen werden soll. Dadurch ist die Beschaufelung bzw. sind die Schaufeln aber auch auftretenden Strömungsstößen und Schwingungen bzw. entsprechenden Belastungen, insbesondere an Grenzen des Fahrbereichs, ausgesetzt.From a strength standpoint, this connection is from blade to shaft, i. attaching the bucket to the shaft, a critical area. During operation of the compressor, the blading is directly in contact with the fluid to be delivered, since this is to influence the direction of flow. As a result, the blading or the blades are exposed but also occurring flow surges and vibrations or corresponding loads, in particular at the limits of the driving range.

Um diesen Belastungen Rechnung zu tragen kann die Verbindung von Schaufel und Welle über die (Schaufel-) Muffe massiv ausgeführt werden. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Schaufel, die Muffe und die Welle über einen zentralen Gewindestift in axialer Richtung zusammengehalten werden. Die Schaufel, die Muffe und die Welle können anschließend miteinander verstiftet werden. Durch die Stifte in der Schaufel und der Muffe wird gleichzeitig ein Lösen des zentralen Gewindestifts ausgeschlossen. In fertig montiertem Zustand können alle Stifte stirnseitig von angrenzenden Bauteilen verbunden sein, sodass ein Lösen im Betriebszustand ausgeschlossen ist.In order to take these loads into account, the connection between the blade and the shaft can be massively carried out via the (blade) sleeve. In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the blade, the sleeve and the shaft are held together via a central threaded pin in the axial direction. The bucket, the sleeve and the shaft can then be pinned together. By the pins in the blade and the sleeve at the same time a release of the central threaded pin is excluded. When fully assembled, all pins can be connected to the front of adjacent components, so that a release in the operating state is excluded.

Bei der Erfindung erweist sich weiter von besonderem Vorteil, dass sie teilbar und damit einfach montierbar ausgeführt ist. So ist eine Teilbarkeit der Vorrichtung an einer Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem (Verstell-)Hebel und der Kulisse, insbesondere zwischen einer am (Verstell-)Hebel angeordneten Rolle und der Kulisse, ausgeführt. Bei der Montage kann so der Eintrittsleitapparat in/an das Gehäuse montiert werden, dass die Rollen in die jeweilige Kulisse eingeführt werden.In the invention further proves to be particularly advantageous that it is divisible and thus easy to install. Thus, a divisibility of the device at a junction between the (adjustment) lever and the link, in particular between a (adjusting) lever arranged on the roller and the scenery executed. During assembly, the inlet guide can be mounted in / on the housing so that the rollers are inserted into the respective slot.

Insbesondere bei großen Spiralgehäusen kann die Montage unter Umständen auch diese Teilbarkeit möglich sein.Under certain circumstances, this divisibility may also be possible, especially with large volute casings.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann hierzu vorgesehen sein, dass die Kulisse und/oder die am (Verstell-)Hebel angeordnete Rolle eine Montagefase, insbesondere als Einfädelhilfe aufweisen/aufweist.In a preferred embodiment, it may be provided for this purpose that the slide and / or the roller arranged on the (adjustment) lever have / has a mounting bevel, in particular as a threading aid.

Der Verdichter ist ein Getriebeverdichter, insbesondere sein mehrstufiger Getriebeverdichter, wobei hier die erfindungsgemäße Winkelverstellung in einer oder mehreren Stufen dieses Getriebeverdichters realisiert sein kann. Der Verdichter bzw. der mehrstufige Getriebeverdichter lässt sich bevorzugt für eine Luftzerlegung einsetzen.The compressor is a gear compressor, in particular its multi-stage gear compressor, in which case the angular adjustment according to the invention can be realized in one or more stages of this gear compressor. The compressor or the multi-stage gear compressor can preferably be used for air separation.

Von besonderem Vorteil erweist sich bei der Erfindung, dass diese auch für den Einsatz in großen Spiralgehäuse von Verdichtern, insbesondere. Getriebeverdichtern, bzw. Verdichterstufen geeignet ist. Bisher bekannte Konstruktionen von Winkelverstellungen von Schaufeln waren für kleine Spiralgehäuse vorgesehen, da hier ein Spiraleinsatz innerhalb des Spiralgehäuses zum Einsatz kommt und damit eine Verstellmechanik gut integrierbar und für die Montage teilbar ist. Nun ermöglicht die Erfindung auch den Einsatz einer Winkelverstellung bei großen Spiralgehäuse.Of particular advantage in the invention proves that this also for use in large volute casing of compressors, in particular. Transmission compressors, or Compressor stages is suitable. Previously known constructions of angular displacements of blades were intended for small spiral housings, since here a spiral insert is used within the spiral housing and thus an adjustment mechanism can be easily integrated and divisible for assembly. Now, the invention also allows the use of an angle adjustment for large volute casing.

Weiterhin ermöglicht die Erfindung eine Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrads eines entsprechend der Erfindung eingerichteten Verdichters in leistungsgemäß hoch bewerteteh Betriebspunkten, die im Teil- und/oder Überlastbereich im Drall-Kennfeld des Verdichters liegen. Insbesondere erweist sich hier bei der Erfindung von großem Vorteil, dass durch die realisierte Winkelverstellbarkeit der Fahrbereich von, insbesondere mehrstufigen, Verdichtern verbessert bzw. erweitert werden kann.Furthermore, the invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency of a compressor designed according to the invention in performance-rated high operating points which lie in the partial and / or overload range in the swirl characteristic diagram of the compressor. In particular, it proves here in the invention of great advantage that can be improved or extended by the realized angle adjustment of the driving range of, in particular multi-stage, compressors.

In Figuren ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellte welches im Weiteren näher erläutert wird.In figures, an embodiment of the invention is shown which will be explained in more detail below.

Ausführungsbeispiel: Gekoppelte bzw. kombinierte Austrittsleitapparat (ALA)/Eintrittsleitapparat (ELA)-Winkelverstellung einer Verdichterstufe mit Spiralgehäuse (mit Montageablauf)Exemplary embodiment: Coupled or combined outlet guide device (ALA) / inlet guide device (ELA) angle adjustment of a compressor stage with spiral housing (with assembly procedure)

(a) Konstruktion(a) Construction

FIG 1 zeigt ein Spiralgehäuse 101 einer Verdichterstufe 100 eines mehrwelligen Getriebeverdichters für die Luftzerlegung. FIG. 1 shows a volute casing 101 of a compressor stage 100 of a multi-shaft gear compressor for air separation.

Diese Verdichterstufe 100 weist zunächst den üblichen Aufbau einer in einem Spiralgehäuse 101 angeordneten Verdichterstufe 100 mit einem Laufrad, einem dem Laufrad vorgeschaltenem Eintrittleitapparat (ELA) 103 und einem dem Laufrad, nachgeschaltenem Austrittsleitapparat (ALA) 103 auf. Allerdings ist bei dieser Verdichterstufe 100 eine Winkelverstellung von Schaufeln des ELA 29 mit einer Winkelverstellung Von Schaufeln des ALA 11 über eine Verstellmechanik 4 bzw. Verstellmimik gekoppelt.This compressor stage 100 initially has the usual construction of a compressor stage 100 arranged in a spiral housing 101 with an impeller, an inlet guide apparatus (ELA) 103 upstream of the impeller and an outlet guide apparatus (ALA) 103 connected downstream of the impeller. However, in this compressor stage 100, an angle adjustment of blades of the ELA 29 is coupled with an angular adjustment of blades of the ALA 11 via an adjustment mechanism 4 or adjustment mimic.

In den folgenden FIGen 2 bis 9 sind weitere Details dieser im Spiralgehäuse 101 aufgenommenen Verstellmechanik 4 bzw. Verstellmimik, d.h. der gekoppelten Austrittsleitapparat (ALA) /Eintrittsleitapparat (ELA)-Winkelverstellung, dargestellt.In the following FIGS. 2 to 9, further details of this adjustment mechanism 4 accommodated in the spiral housing 101 or adjustment mechanism, i. the coupled exit nozzle (ALA) / Eintrittsleitapparat (ELA) angle adjustment shown.

Um die Winkelverstellung bzw. eine Verdrehung von ALA-Schaufeln 11 zu ermöglichen, ist jede dieser ALA-Schaufeln 11 auf einer einzelnen Welle 12 im Spiralgehäuse 101 gelagert (FIGen 2, 3, 5, 7, bis 9).In order to enable the angular displacement or rotation of ALA blades 11, each of these ALA blades 11 is mounted on a single shaft 12 in the spiral housing 101 (FIGS. 2, 3, 5, 7, to 9).

Aus Festigkeitssicht ist diese Verbindung von ALA-Schaufel 11 zu Welle 12 (FIGen 7 und 8), d.h. die Befestigung der ALA-Schaufel 11 an der Welle 12, ein kritischer Bereich. Im Betrieb des Verdichters ist diese Beschaufelung 1 direkt mit dem zu fördernden Fluid in Berührung. Dadurch ist die Beschaufelung 1 bzw. sind die ALA-Schaufeln 11 auftretenden Strömungsstößen und Schwingungen bzw. entsprechenden Belastungen, insbesondere an Grenzen des Fahrbereichs, ausgesetzt.From a strength standpoint, this connection is from ALA blade 11 to shaft 12 (FIGS. 7 and 8), i. the attachment of the ALA blade 11 to the shaft 12, a critical area. During operation of the compressor, this blading 1 is directly in contact with the fluid to be delivered. As a result, the blading 1 or the ALA blades 11 are exposed to flow surges and vibrations or corresponding loads, in particular at the limits of the driving range.

Um diesen Belastungen Rechnung zu tragen, ist die Verbindung der ALA-Schaufel 11 mit der Welle 12 über eine (Schaufel-) Muffe 14 massiv ausgeführt. Die Schaufel 11, die Muffe 14 und die Welle 12 werden dabei über einen zentralen Gewindestift 17 in axialer Richtung zusammengehalten. Die Schaufel 11, die Muffe und die Welle 12 werden anschließend miteinander verstiftet (FIG 8).In order to take these loads into account, the connection of the ALA blade 11 to the shaft 12 is made massive via a (blade) sleeve 14. The blade 11, the sleeve 14 and the shaft 12 are held together via a central threaded pin 17 in the axial direction. The blade 11, the sleeve and the shaft 12 are then pinned together ( FIG. 8 ).

Durch die Stifte 110 in der Schaufel 11 und der Muffe 14 wird gleichzeitig ein Lösen des zentralen Gewindestifts 17 ausgeschlossen.By the pins 110 in the blade 11 and the sleeve 14 at the same time a release of the central threaded pin 17 is excluded.

In fertig montiertem Zustand sind alle Stifte 110 stirnseitig von angrenzenden Bauteilen verbunden bzw. überdeckt, sodass ein Lösen im Betriebszustand ausgeschlossen ist.In the assembled state, all pins 110 are connected or covered on the face side by adjacent components, so that loosening in the operating state is precluded.

An den Wellen 12 sitzen jeweils - mit den Wellen 12 verstiftete - Rollenhebeln bzw. Verstellhebeln 15, die über Rollen 13 in Kulissen 24 greifen. Dazu weisen die Kulissen 24 gerade Langlöcher 26 auf, in welchen diese Rollen 13 jeweils geführt werden (FIGen 2 bis 6).On the shafts 12 each sit - with the waves 12 pinned - roller levers or adjusting levers 15, which engage over rollers 13 in scenes 24. For this purpose, the scenes 24 straight slots 26, in which these rollers 13 are guided in each case (Figures 2 to 6).

FIG 9 zeigt die Lagerung einer solchen Rolle 13 am Rollenhebel 15 im Detail. Die Rolle 13 sitzt auf einer Gleitlagerbuchse 16, welche wiederum auf einem Gewindestift 17 gelagert und mit einem Ring 18 sowie mit einem Sicherungsring 19 dort gesichert ist. Der Gewindestift 17 ist mit dem Rollenhebel 15 auf Block verschraubt und dort über einen Spannstift 110 gesichert. FIG. 9 shows the storage of such a roller 13 on the roller lever 15 in detail. The roller 13 is seated on a plain bearing bushing 16, which in turn is mounted on a threaded pin 17 and secured there with a ring 18 and with a retaining ring 19. The threaded pin 17 is bolted to the roller lever 15 to block and secured there by a dowel pin 110.

Die Kulissen 24 sind jeweils über zwei in einem Kulissenhaltering 23 aufgenommene Exzentereinheiten 3 fest mit diesem Kulissenhaltering (ALA-Stellring) 23 verbunden bzw. verschraubt (FIGen 4. und 5).The scenes 24 are each connected via two recorded in a gate holder 23 eccentric 3 fixed to this gate retaining ring (ALA collar) 23 or screwed (Figures 4 and 5).

FIG 5 zeigt eine solche Exzentereinheit 3 im Detail. Die Exzentereinheit 3 weist einen Exzenter 31 mit zwei Bohrungen 37 auf. Über die erste Bohrung 37 erfolgt die Klemmung und Fixierung der Kulisse 24. Dazu weist der Exzenter 31 dort einen mit der Kulisse 24 verbundenen Exzenterbolzen 32, einen diesen Exzenterbolzen 32 sichernden Sicherungsring 34, einen Montagetrichter 33 sowie eine Zylinderschraube 25, über die die Klemmung und Fixierung erfolgt, auf. Über die zweite Bohrung 37 erfolgt die Verstellung des Exzenters 3, d.h. die Ausrichtung der Kulisse 24 am Kulissenhaltering 23. Dazu weist der Exzenter 31 dort eine Zylinderschraube 25, über die die Verstellung durch Verdrehung des Exzenters 31 im Kulissenhalterring 23 erfolgt, auf. FIG. 5 shows such an eccentric unit 3 in detail. The eccentric unit 3 has an eccentric 31 with two bores 37. For this purpose, the eccentric 31 there is a connected to the gate 24 eccentric pin 32, this eccentric 32 locking circlip 34, a mounting hopper 33 and a cylinder screw 25 through which the clamping and Fixation occurs, on. Via the second bore 37, the adjustment of the eccentric 3, ie the orientation of the gate 24 on the crank retaining ring 23.
