Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Radscheibenanordnung mit einer Radscheibe, mehreren Schaufeleinrichtungen, die entlang des Außenumfangs der Radscheibe befestigt sind, und mehreren Dichtblechen, die in zwei radial voneinander beabstandeten Ringnuten gehalten sind, wobei die erste Ringnut in der Radscheibe vorgesehen und axial auswärts durch einen Ringvorsprung begrenzt ist, und wobei die zweite Ringnut durch eine Vielzahl von benachbart angeordneten Ringnutsegmenten definiert ist, die jeweils in den einzelnen Schaufeleinrichtungen vorgesehen sind.The present invention relates to a wheel disc assembly having a wheel disc, a plurality of vane means secured along the outer periphery of the wheel disc, and a plurality of sealing plates held in two radially spaced apart annular grooves, the first annular groove provided in the wheel disc and axially outwardly through an annular projection is limited, and wherein the second annular groove is defined by a plurality of adjacently arranged annular groove segments, which are respectively provided in the individual blade means.
Radscheibenanordnungen der eingangs genannten Art sind im Stand der Technik in unterschiedlichsten Ausgestaltungen bekannt. Während der Montage werden die Schaufeleinrichtungen in Nuten der Radscheibe eingeschoben, wobei sukzessiv auch die Dichtbleche in die beiden Ringnuten eingesetzt werden. Um die letzten beiden Schaufeleinrichtungen einbauen zu können, müssen sämtliche Dichtbleche bereits montiert und soweit über ihre Überlappungsbereiche in den Ringnuten verschoben sein, dass die Schaufeleinrichtungen in die zugeordneten Nuten der Radscheibe eingebaut werden können. Anschließend werden die Dichtbleche in Umfangsrichtung wieder zurück in ihre bestimmungsgemäße Position geschoben und dort gegen ein Verschieben geeignet gesichert.Wheel disc assemblies of the type mentioned are known in the prior art in a variety of configurations. During assembly, the blade devices are inserted into grooves of the wheel disc, wherein successively, the sealing plates are inserted into the two annular grooves. In order to install the last two vane devices, all the sealing plates must already be mounted and moved so far over their overlap areas in the annular grooves that the vane devices can be installed in the associated grooves of the wheel disc. Subsequently, the sealing plates are pushed in the circumferential direction back to its intended position and secured there against displacement suitable.
Ein Nachteil der bekannten Radscheibenanordnungen besteht darin, dass sich die Dichtbleche im Servicefall nur schwer demontieren lassen, da zunächst zwei benachbarte Schaufeleinrichtungen ausgebaut werden müssen, was in der Praxis mit einem erheblichen Aufwand einhergeht.A disadvantage of the known Radscheibenanordnungen is that the sealing plates difficult to dismantle in case of service, since initially two adjacent blade devices must be removed, which is associated in practice with considerable effort.
Aus der
Die Aussparung in der Rotorscheibe wird durch ein Schließteil geschlossen, welches wiederum durch die Dichtbleche axial gesichert ist.The recess in the rotor disk is closed by a closing part, which in turn is axially secured by the sealing plates.
Wenngleich vorgenannte Ausführung eine einfache Montage ermöglichen, so hat die Ausführung jedoch den Nachteil, dass sich die Fliehkräfte der Dichtbleche an den Laufschaufeln abstützen. Wenngleich das Schließteil nur eine geringere Masse aufweist, so werden dessen Fließkräfte über die haltenden Dichtbleche übertragen, so dass es an den Laufschaufeln zu einer ungleichmäßigen Belastung kommt.Although the aforementioned embodiment allow easy installation, but the design has the disadvantage that the centrifugal forces of the sealing plates are supported on the blades. Although the closing part has only a lower mass, so its flow forces are transmitted through the holding sealing plates, so that it comes to the blades to an uneven load.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Radscheibenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der sich die Dichtbleche leicht demontieren und wieder montieren lassen und eine ungleichmäßige Belastung der Laufschaufeln vermieden wird.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a Radscheibenanordnung of the aforementioned type, in which the sealing plates can be easily disassembled and re-assemble and uneven loading of the blades is avoided.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schafft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Radscheibenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass zumindest eine sich axial durch den Ringvorsprung hindurch erstreckende Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, deren minimale Breite in Umfangsrichtung größer als die Breite der Dichtbleche am Innendurchmesser ist, so dass ein Dichtblech axial durch die Ausnehmung zwischen den Ringnuten eingesetzt und in Umfangsrichtung von diesen geführt bewegt werden kann, und dass wenigstens ein Verschlussstück vorgesehen ist, das zum Verschließen der Ausnehmung hergerichtet und lösbar an der Radscheibe befestigbar ist, wobei das Verschlussstück im bestimmungsgemäß montierten Zustand durch einen zwischen dem Verschlussstück und zumindest einem Dichtblech vorgesehenen Formschluss in axialer Richtung verliersicher gehalten ist. Dank der erfindungsgemäßen Ausnehmung können die Dichtbleche in einfacher Art und Weise in die zugeordneten Ringnuten eingefädelt werden, selbst wenn bereits sämtliche Schaufeleinrichtungen an der Radscheibe montiert sind, wodurch die Montage sehr flexibel gestaltet wird. Auch lassen sich die einzelnen Dichtbleche im Servicefall durch die Ausnehmung problemlos ohne großen Aufwand wieder entnehmen. Dank des zwischen dem Verschlussstück und zumindest einem Dichtblech vorgesehenen Formschlusses sind zusätzliche Sicherungselemente zum Sichern des Verschlussstückes im montierten Zustand überflüssig, wodurch ein sehr einfacher Aufbau mit wenigen Bauteilen erzielt wird.To achieve this object, the present invention provides a Radscheibenanordnung of the aforementioned type, which is characterized in that at least one axially extending through the annular projection extending recess is provided whose minimum width in the circumferential direction is greater than the width of the sealing plates on the inner diameter, so in that a sealing plate can be inserted axially through the recess between the annular grooves and moved in the circumferential direction, and that at least one closure piece is provided, which is prepared for closing the recess and releasably attachable to the wheel disc, wherein the closure piece is held captive in the intended mounted state by a provided between the closure piece and at least one sealing plate positive locking in the axial direction captive. Thanks to the recess according to the invention, the sealing plates can be threaded in a simple manner in the associated annular grooves, even if all blade devices are already mounted on the wheel disc, whereby the assembly is made very flexible. Also, the individual sealing plates can be removed easily in the service case through the recess without much effort. Thanks to the provided between the closure piece and at least one sealing plate positive locking additional securing elements for securing the closure piece in the assembled state are superfluous, whereby a very simple structure with few components is achieved.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die erste Ringnut hinterschnitten ausgebildet und weist im Querschnitt betrachtet zumindest einen axial vorstehenden Haltevorsprung auf, der mit einer Anlagefläche versehen ist, und die Dichtbleche weisen im Bereich des Innendurchmessers im Querschnitt betrachtet jeweils zumindest einen korrespondierend zu dem zumindest einen Haltevorsprung ausgebildeten, axial vorstehenden Tragvorsprung auf, der mit einer Tragfläche versehen ist, wobei die Anlagefläche des zumindest einen Haltevorsprungs, die Tragfläche des zumindest einen Tragvorsprungs und die Höhe der Dichtbleche derart ausgebildet sind, dass sich die Tragflächen der Dichtbleche während des bestimmungsgemäßen Betriebs der Radscheibenanordnung unter Einwirkung einer Fliehkraft gegen die Anlagefläche des zumindest einen Haltevorsprungs abstützen. Dank dieser Ausgestaltung wird das Eigengewicht der Dichtbleche während des bestimmungsgemäßen Betriebs der Radscheibenanordnung unter Einwirkung einer Fliehkraft durch den zumindest einen Haltevorsprung der Radscheibe aufgenommen. Damit werden die Verbindungen zwischen der Radscheibe und den Schaufeleinrichtungen entlastet, da die Fliehkraftbelastung von den Dichtblechen "entkoppelt" wird. Dies führt dazu, dass die Radscheibe in den besagten Verbindungsbereichen zu den Schaufeleinrichtungen dünner ausgestaltet werden kann. Gleiches gilt auch für die Plattformen der Schaufeleinrichtungen, mit denen die Schaufeleinrichtungen an der Radscheibe gehalten sind, da diese das Eigengewicht der Dichtbleche nicht aufnehmen müssen. Insgesamt ergibt sich auf diese Weise ein sehr kostengünstiger Aufbau.According to the invention, the first annular groove is formed undercut and, viewed in cross-section, has at least one axially projecting retaining projection which is provided with a contact surface, and the sealing plates each have at least one axially projecting protrusion in the region of the inner diameter viewed in cross-section Supporting projection, which is provided with a bearing surface, wherein the contact surface of the at least one retaining projection, the support surface of the at least one support projection and the height of the sealing plates are formed such that the wings of the sealing plates during normal operation of the Radscheibenanordnung under the action of centrifugal against support the contact surface of the at least one retaining projection. Thanks to this configuration, the weight of the sealing plates during normal operation of the Radscheibenanordnung under the action of a centrifugal force is absorbed by the at least one retaining projection of the wheel disc. This will be the connections between the wheel disc and the blade means relieved, since the centrifugal load is "decoupled" from the sealing plates. This results in that the wheel disc can be made thinner in the said connection areas to the blade devices. The same applies to the platforms of the blade means with which the blade means are held on the wheel disc, as they do not have to take the weight of the sealing plates. Overall, this results in a very cost-effective design.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Formschluss durch zumindest einen von dem Verschlussstück radial vorstehenden Vorsprung und zumindest eine an dem Dichtblech ausgebildete Vertiefung realisiert, in die der Vorsprung im bestimmungsgemäß montierten Zustand greift.According to one embodiment of the present invention, the positive connection is realized by at least one radially projecting projection of the closure piece and at least one recess formed on the sealing plate, in which the projection engages in the intended mounted state.
Gemäß einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Formschluss durch zumindest einen von dem Dichtblech radial vorstehenden Vorsprung und zumindest eine an dem Verschlussstück ausgebildete Vertiefung realisiert, in die der Vorsprung im bestimmungsgemäß montierten Zustand greift.According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the positive connection is realized by at least one radially projecting projection from the sealing plate and at least one recess formed on the closure piece, in which the projection engages in the intended mounted state.
Vorteilhaft ist die zumindest eine Vertiefung als sich in Umfangsrichtung erstreckende ringsegmentförmige Nut und der zumindest eine Vorsprung als sich in Umfangsrichtung erstreckender ringsegmentförmiger Steg ausgebildet, wodurch ein einfacher Aufbau erzielt wird.Advantageously, the at least one recess is designed as a ring-segment-shaped groove extending in the circumferential direction and the at least one projection is designed as a ring-segment-shaped web extending in the circumferential direction, whereby a simple structure is achieved.

Durch das Vorsehen eines weiteren Haltevorsprungs und eines weiteren Tragvorsprungs wird das Gewicht der Dichtbleche während des bestimmungsgemäßen Betriebs gleichmäßiger verteilt, wodurch eine bessere Stabilität und Krafteinleitung in die Radscheibe erzielt wird.According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first annular groove seen in cross-section two axially opposite and mutually facing retaining projections, which are each provided with a contact surface, and the sealing plates include in the region of the inner diameter in cross section considered two corresponding to the retaining projections formed axially opposing and facing away from each other support projections, each provided with a support surface, wherein the contact surfaces and the support surfaces are formed such that support the supporting surfaces of the sealing plates during normal operation of the Radscheibenanordnung under the action of a centrifugal force against the contact surfaces of the retaining projections. By providing a further holding projection and a further supporting projection, the weight of the sealing plates is distributed more uniformly during normal operation, whereby a better stability and force introduction into the wheel disc is achieved.
Bevorzugt erstrecken sich die Anlagefläche des zumindest einen Haltevorsprungs und die Tragflächen der Dichtbleche jeweils sowohl quer zur radialen Richtung als auch quer zur axialen Richtung. Mit anderen Worten sind die Anlageflächen sowie die Tragflächen jeweils geneigt.Preferably, the contact surface of the at least one holding projection and the support surfaces of the sealing plates each extend both transversely to the radial direction and transversely to the axial direction. In other words, the contact surfaces and the wings are each inclined.
Vorteilhaft erstrecken sich die Seitenflächen der Dichtbleche zumindest teilweise quer zur axialen Richtung und sind derart ausgebildet, dass sich die Dichtbleche im bestimmungsgemäßen Zustand in Bezug auf die axiale Richtung im Bereich ihrer Seitenflächen überlappen. Auf diese Weise wird zwischen den Seitenflächen benachbart angeordneter Dichtbleche in axialer Richtung eine Dichtwirkung erzielt.Advantageously, the side surfaces of the sealing plates extend at least partially transversely to the axial direction and are formed such that the sealing plates overlap in the intended state with respect to the axial direction in the region of their side surfaces. In this way, a sealing effect is achieved between the side surfaces adjacent arranged sealing plates in the axial direction.
Vorteilhaft sind die Seitenflächen der Dichtbleche gestuft ausgebildet, so dass die Dichtbleche unter Beibehaltung einer Überlappung in der Umfangsrichtung zueinander um ein vorbestimmtes Maß verschoben werden können. Die Stufung sollte derart gewählt werden, dass die Dichtbleche in einem Zustand, in dem sämtliche Dichtbleche einer Radscheibenanordnung montiert sind, derart zusammengeschoben werden können, dass zwischen zwei benachbart angeordneten Dichtblechen ein Abstand eingestellt werden kann, der größer als die Breite eines einzelnen Dichtbleches ist. Eine solche Ausgestaltung kann in Abhängigkeit von der Art der Montage der Dichtbleche von Vorteil sein, wie es anhand der nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren beschriebenen Ausführungsform deutlich wird. Bevorzugt weist das zumindest eine Verschlussstück an gegenüberliegenden Seiten radial auswärts vorstehende Verschlussstückvorsprünge auf, die im bestimmungsgemäßen Zustand in korrespondierend ausgebildete Taschen der Ausnehmung greifen. Auf diese Weise lässt sich das Verschlussstück in Umfangsrichtung an der Radscheibe sichern.Advantageously, the side surfaces of the sealing plates are stepped, so that the sealing plates can be displaced relative to each other by a predetermined amount while maintaining an overlap in the circumferential direction. The grading should be chosen such that the sealing plates in a state in which all the sealing plates of a Radscheibenanordnung are mounted, can be pushed together so that between two adjacent sealing plates arranged a distance can be set, which is greater than the width of a single sealing plate. Such a configuration may be advantageous depending on the type of mounting of the sealing sheets, as will become apparent from the embodiment described below with reference to the figures. Preferably, the at least one closure piece on opposite sides radially outwardly projecting Verschlussstückvorsprünge, which engage in the intended state in correspondingly formed pockets of the recess.

Die Ausnehmung 8 umfasst beidseitig angeordnete Taschen 15, die sich axial durch den gesamten Ringvorsprung 7 erstrecken und in radialer Richtung Hinterschneidungen bilden. Das Verschlussstück 9 umfasst korrespondierend zu den Taschen 15 ausgebildete, radial auswärts vorstehende Verschlussstückvorsprünge 16, die im bestimmungsgemäß angeordneten Zustand des Verschlussstückes 9 in die Taschen 15 greifen, wodurch in radialer Richtung eine Sicherung des Verschlussstückes 9 erzielt wird. Das Verschlussstück 9 umfasst ferner eine Aufnahmefläche 17, die zur Aufnahme zumindest eines Dichtbleches 4 dient. Im Bereich der Aufnahmefläche 17 weist das Verschlussstück 9 einen sich in radialer Richtung erstreckenden Steg 18 auf, der im bestimmungsgemäßem Zustand in korrespondierend ausgebildete, am Innendurchmesser der Dichtbleche 4 vorgesehene Nuten 19 der Dichtbleche 4 greift.The
Zur Montage der in
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Radscheibenanordnung 1 besteht darin, dass sich die Dichtbleche 4 einfach und problemlos montieren und demontieren lassen, und zwar auch dann, wenn die Schaufeleinrichtungen 3 bereits bzw. noch an der Radscheibe 2 fixiert sind. Ferner sind die Anlagenflächen 11 der Haltevorsprünge 10, die Tragflächen 13 der Tragvorsprünge 12 und die Höhe der Dichtbleche 4 derart ausgebildet sind, dass sich die Tragflächen 13 der Dichtbleche 4 während des bestimmungsgemäßen Betriebs der Radscheibenanordnung 1 unter Einwirkung einer Fliehkraft gegen die Anlagefläche 11 der Haltevorsprünge 10 abstützen. Damit wird das Eigengewicht der Dichtbleche 4 durch die Radscheibe 2 aufgenommen, was dazu führt, dass die Verbindungsbereiche zwischen der Radscheibe 2 und den Schaufeleinrichtungen 3 weniger stabil sein müssen und damit kostengünstiger hergestellt werden können. Dank der symmetrischen Ausbildung der Haltevorsprünge 10 und der Tragvorsprünge 12 wird ferner eine sehr homogene Krafteinleitung in die Radscheibe 2 erzielt. Darüber hinaus wird das Verschlussstück 9 aufgrund des Formschlusses zwischen dem Steg 18 des Verschlussstückes 9 und den Nuten 19 der Dichtbleche 4 in einfacher Weise ohne zusätzliche Sicherungselemente in seiner bestimmungsgemäßen Position gesichert, wodurch insgesamt ein einfacher Aufbau erzielt wird. Es sollte allerdings klar sein, dass besagter Formschluss auch mittels einer an dem Verschlussstück 9 vorgesehene Vertiefung und radial von den Dichtblechen 4 vorstehender Vorsprünge bzw. Stege erzielt werden kann.A significant advantage of the
Ferner sei darauf hingewiesen, dass es grundsätzlich ausreicht, einen einzelnen Haltevorsprung 10 und einen einzelnen Tragvorsprung 12 vorzusehen, wie es in
