  • a geometric coding in a near-end, even in the assembled state accessible or visible area of the locking plate are arranged, which in particular a better haptic distinction of different or differently coded locking plates can be done.
  • the connecting web of the locking plates on a coding area is advantageously advantageously an improved optical differentiation of the different locking plates before or during assembly is made possible and a larger space can be used for coding.
  • different locking plates have mutually correspondingly arranged coding regions whose coding differs in number and / or shape and / or size of recesses.
  • the coding region is different from the functional region, in particular disposed of.
  • the invention further consists in a gas turbine according to claim 9. This can be achieved in particular advantageously that when mounting each turbine stage easy and / or little error-prone the appropriate locking plates can be arranged.
  • the invention further consists in an assembly method according to claim 10. This can be achieved in particular advantageously that when mounting the gas turbine different locking plates with a lower error rate or error-free the associated blade assemblies can be assigned. As a result, in particular an advantageous reduction of the error rate during assembly can be achieved.
  • first locking plate first and blade assemblies are mounted on a turbine stage, the blade assemblies and the locking plate are not yet fixed to each other. This determination can be made in particular by deforming, in particular bending over a flange, of the securing plate.

  • the first flange 11, 21, 31 is connected to the second flange 12, 22, 32 by means of a connecting web 13, 23, 33.
  • This connecting webs 13, 23, 33 differ slightly in their longitudinal extent L 13 , L 23 , L 33 , whereby the locking plates 10, 20, 30 have a different longitudinal extent.
  • first flanges 11, 21, 31 are arranged here for axial securing functional areas 14.2, 24.2, 34.2, which are in contact with the blade feet.
  • a coding region 15 is additionally arranged in the functional region 14.2, in which a geometric coding of the securing plate 10 by means of two, formed as round holes, recesses 16 and 17 is formed.
  • a geometric coding of the securing plate 10 by means of two, formed as round holes, recesses 16 and 17 is formed.
  • no recesses are provided, so that the locking plate 10, despite its only slight difference in length haptically and wear-resistant from the locking plates 20, 30 to differentiate and assign the respective turbine stage or blade assembly.
  • a coding region 25 or 35 is formed, which is spaced from the functional areas 24.2 and 34.2, so as not to function in particular, not to weaken the surface.
  • the coding regions 25 and 35 are arranged at mutually corresponding positions of the respective securing plate 20 and 30, respectively.
  • the coding areas of all locking plates are arranged at mutually corresponding positions of the respective locking plate, for example, in the areas 14.2, 24.2 and 34.2 axial recesses in a different number, shape and / or arrangement are formed and / or on the edges (left in Fig. 1 ) Radial elevations and / or recesses in a different number, shape and / or arrangement are formed.
  • the coding region 25 of the securing plate 20 has a, here in part substantially part-circular, radial (relative to the mounting state) elevation 26.
  • the coding region 35 of the securing plate 30 has a, here part-circular, radial recess.
  • each locking plate 10, 20, 30 Due to the different positioning, number, shape and / or size of the recesses and elevations in the respective coding region 15, 25, 35, compared With the other coding areas, each locking plate 10, 20, 30 has a different geometric coding.
  • a geometric encoding, as in FIG. 1 is shown in particular allows wear-free a haptic distinction of the three locking plates 10, 20 and 30, which is difficult for an assembly worker due to the only slightly different longitudinal extent L 13 , L 23 , L 33 of the connecting webs 13, 23, 33 without this geometric coding would prove.
