Ein erfindungsgemäßes Sicherungselement für eine Schaufelreihe einer Strömungsmaschine, wobei die Schaufelreihe eine Vielzahl von Schaufeln umfasst, die mit ihren Füßen in einer rotorseitigen Verankerungsnut eingesetzt und hierdurch in radialer Richtung formschlüssig in der Verankerungsnut gehalten sind, hat einen Grundkörper, der eine vordere Anlageflächen und eine hintere Anlagefläche zum Formschluss mit gegenüberliegenden Nutflächen, einen vorderen Verriegelungsvorsprung und einen hinteren Verriegelungsvorsprung zum Eingreifen in gegenüberliegende Ausnehmungen der Verankerungsnut, und einen Gewindebereich zum Zusammenwirken mit einem Anzugelement aufweist. Der Gewindebereich für das Anzugelement ist nur einseitig zugänglich. Er ist entweder eine bodenseitig verschlossene Innengewindebohrung. Durch das Ausbilden einer Innengewindebohrung lässt sich auf bekannte Techniken zurückgreifen, wobei durch den bodenseitigen Verschluss ein zuverlässiges Verschließen erfolgt. Alternativ ist der Gewindebereich ein sich von dem Grundkörper erstreckender Gewindestift. Der Gewindestift gibt die Einbaulage eindeutig vor, so dass ein falsches Einsetzen des Sicherungselements in die Verankerungsnut wirkungsvoll verhindert wird. Als Anzugelement dient bei dieser Variante eine Mutter. Als Zugangssperre für das Anzugelement wirkt dabei der Grundkörper per se.An inventive securing element for a row of blades of a turbomachine, wherein the blade row comprises a plurality of blades, which are used with their feet in a rotor-side anchoring groove and thereby held in the radial direction positively in the anchoring groove, has a base body having a front abutment surfaces and a rear Contact surface for positive engagement with opposite groove surfaces, a front locking projection and a rear locking projection for engaging in opposite recesses of the anchoring groove, and has a threaded portion for cooperation with a tightening element. The threaded area for the tightening element is only accessible on one side. He is either a bottom side closed internal threaded hole. The formation of an internally threaded bore makes it possible to resort to known techniques, with the bottom-side closure providing reliable closure. Alternatively, the threaded portion is a threaded pin extending from the main body. The grub screw indicates the installation position clearly, so that an incorrect insertion of the fuse element is effectively prevented in the anchoring groove. As a suit element is used in this variant, a mother. As access barrier for the suit element acts while the body per se.
Durch die einseitige Zugänglichkeit des Gewindebereichs kann das Anzugelement nur von einer Seite auf den Gewindebereich aufgesetzt werden. Hierdurch wird eine Fehlmontage des Sicherungselements zuverlässig verhindert, da das Anzugelement nur in der richtigen Positionierung des Sicherungselementes innerhalb der Verankerungsnut mit dem Gewindebereich in Wirkeingriff bringbar ist. In einer Fehlpositionierung ist der Zugang zum Gewindebereich für das Anzugelement gesperrt. Das erfindungsgemäße Sicherungselement kann konstruktionsbedingt nicht mit seiner Innenseite bzw. seiner Unterseite nach außen verschraubt werden. Eine Änderung von Verschlussschaufeln zur Vermeidung einer Fehlmontage ist nicht notwendig.Due to the one-sided accessibility of the threaded area, the tightening element can only be placed from one side onto the threaded area. As a result, a faulty mounting of the securing element is reliably prevented, since the tightening element can be brought into operative engagement with the threaded area only in the correct positioning of the securing element within the anchoring groove. In a mispositioning the access to the threaded area for the tightening element is blocked. The fuse element according to the invention can not be screwed by design with its inner side or its underside to the outside. A change of sealing vanes to avoid incorrect assembly is not necessary.
Bevorzugterweise ist die Innengewindebohrung eine Durchgangsbohrung und bodenseitig durch ein außenseitiges Verschlusselement, beispielsweise ein Plattenelement, am Grundkörper verschlossen. Die Innengewindebohrung lässt sich aufgrund ihres durchgehenden Charakters technisch einfach einbringen und der nachträgliche bodenseitige Verschluss, d.h. nach der Ausbildung der Innengewindebohrung, ermöglicht ein technisch einfaches Verschließen. Beispielsweise wird das außenseitige Verschlusselement durch Stoffschluss wie Löten oder Schweißen an dem Grundkörper angebracht. Diese Variante ermöglicht die Nachrüstung von bestehenden Sicherungselementen mit den Verschlusselementen, so dass auch bestehende Sicherungselemente gegen Fehlmontagen geschützt werden können.Preferably, the internally threaded bore is a through hole and closed on the bottom side by an outside closure element, for example a plate element, on the base body. The internal threaded bore can be due to their continuous character technically easy to bring and the subsequent bottom-side closure, i. after the formation of the internally threaded bore, allows a technically simple closing. For example, the outer-side closure element is attached to the base body by material bonding, such as soldering or welding. This variant allows the retrofitting of existing security elements with the closure elements, so that existing security elements can be protected against incorrect installation.
Alternativ ist die Innengewindebohrung eine Durchgangsbohrung und bodenseitig durch ein innenseitiges Verschlusselement verschlossen. Das innenseitige Verschlusselement ist beispielsweise ein Stopfenelement, das mit einem Abschnitt in die Innengewindebohrung hineinragt. Diese ermöglicht eine kraft- und formschlüssige Montage an dem Grundkörper.Alternatively, the internally threaded bore is a through hole and closed on the bottom side by an inside closure element. The inside closure element is For example, a plug element which protrudes with a portion in the internally threaded bore. This allows a positive and positive mounting on the body.
Die Innengewindebohrung kann auch eine Sacklochbohrung sein. Durch diese Maßnahme wird die Teileanzahl des Sicherungselements reduziert, da separate Verschlusselemente zum einseitigen Verschließen des Gewindebereichs entfallen. Zudem wird durch den Wegfall der Montage der Verschlusselemente die Montagezeit verkürzt.The internal threaded hole can also be a blind hole. By this measure, the number of parts of the fuse element is reduced, since separate closure elements account for unilateral closing of the threaded portion. In addition, the assembly time is shortened by eliminating the installation of the closure elements.
Der Gewindestift kann in eine Aufnahmebohrung des Grundkörpers eingesetzt sein. Durch diese Maßnahme werden der Grundkörper und der Gewindestift einzeln hergestellt, was eine einfache Herstellung ermöglicht. Die Verbindung des Gewindestiftes mit dem Grundkörper kann beispielsweise mittels Eindrehen in die Aufnahmebohrung, eine verdrehsichere Rastverbindung und dergleichen erfolgen.The threaded pin can be inserted into a receiving bore of the base body. By this measure, the main body and the threaded pin are made individually, which allows easy production. The connection of the threaded pin with the base body can be done for example by means of screwing into the receiving bore, a twist-locking connection and the like.
Der Gewindestift kann auch stoffschlüssig an dem Grundkörper angebunden sein. Ein Stoffschluss ist eine zuverlässige und technisch beherrschbare Verbindung und kann bspw. durch Schweißen und Löten erzielt werden. Selbstverständlich kann der Gewindestift auch in die Aufnahmebohrung eingesetzt und umfangsseitig bspw. im Mündungsbereich der Aufnahmebohrung mit dem Grundkörper verschweißt sein.The grub screw can also be firmly bonded to the base body. A material connection is a reliable and technically manageable connection and can be achieved, for example, by welding and soldering.

Beispielsweise erfolgt die Herstellung des Sicherungselements gemäß einem selektiven bzw. adaptiven Herstellungsverfahren wie Lasersintern, Laserschmelzen und dergleichen. Derartige Herstellungsverfahren ermöglichen insbesondere auch eine flexible Formgestaltung des Grundkörpers und des Gewindestiftes bzw. Gewindezapfens.Alternatively, the grub screw is an integral body portion of the body, By this measure, the number of parts and the mounting of the fuse element can be reduced. For example, the production of the fuse element according to a selective or adaptive manufacturing process such as laser sintering, laser melting and the like. Such manufacturing methods also allow, in particular, a flexible design of the base body and of the threaded pin or threaded pin.

Die Schraube 24 ist beispielweise eine Innensechskantschraube, die durch ein stirnseitig in den Schraubenkopf 38 eingreifendes Werkzeug betätigt wird. Beim Anziehen der Schraube 24 bzw. des Anzugelements wird das Brückenelement 26 von oben gegen die Stützflächen 30, 32 gepresst und hierdurch der Grundkörper 6 von unten gegen die Nutflächen 12, 14 gezogen, wodurch es neben seiner Fixierung in seiner Sicherungslage auch vom Nutgrund 34 abgehoben wird. Zum schaftseitigen Durchführen der Schraube 24 hat das Brückenelement 26 eine entsprechende Durchgangsbohrung 36. Zur Aufnahme des Schraubenkopfes 38 haben die sogenannten Verschlussschaufeln im Bereich ihrer radial inneren Plattformen 40 entsprechende Ausnehmungen 42. Um Turbulenzen im Bereich des Primärstroms zu vermeiden, ist der Schraubenkopf 38 im eingeschraubten Zustand unterhalb einer ringraumseitigen Plattformfläche 44 angeordnet.The securing
