Definitions
- the invention relates to a housing for an engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a generic housing defines with a housing wall an interior for receiving a rotor, wherein the housing conversion circumferentially surrounds the rotor accommodated in the housing.
- the housing can consequently be designed, for example, as a compressor housing for a compressor of a gas turbine engine, which surrounds the peripheral side in particular the rotating blade wheels of the compressor and can be flowed through axially.
- a service opening is used, for example, the introduction of a tool, such as a borescope to determine any damage to the (rotating or fixed) paddle wheels, so for example, the blades and vanes.
- Such a service opening is comparatively small in practice and, for example, has a diameter of less than 10 mm.
- the introduction of tools for repair of lying inside the components of the engine, in particular the rotor is hardly possible.
- a simple enlargement of the service opening is regularly but also not readily possible, in particular since the service opening should be closed during operation and on the housing wall for this purpose to be fixed closure parts must be fixed comparatively expensive to reliably close the service opening.
- a housing according to the invention for example a compressor housing for a compressor of an engine, has at least one service opening provided in the housing wall for maintenance and / or repair work in the area of two opposing flange sections of the housing, the service opening being closed by at least one closure part at least partially received in a gap formed between the opposing flange portions and releasably fixed.
- the housing hitch may in this case be formed in one piece, so that the two opposite and with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor radially on an outer side of the housing projecting flange serve exclusively or primarily the fixation of the closure member.
- the housing may also be designed in several parts, in which case two housing parts of the housing are then connected to one another via the two flange sections.
- the two housing parts can also - preferably symmetrically - be connected to each other via a plurality of mutually associated flange sections.
- a gap between two flange sections, over which a service opening is formed or is accessible, is then provided in one embodiment only on one of a plurality of pairs of flange sections.
- a plurality of service openings are also closed via at least one closure part and are accessible if necessary.
- At least one of the flange sections has at least one fastening opening which is aligned with an opening of the closure part, which is received in the gap as intended, and through which a fastening element engages for releasably fixing the closure part.
- the at least one fastening opening of the flange portion is thus provided as a passage opening for the insertion or screwing in of a fastening element, such as a screw bolt, in order to fix the closure part to the flange portion and into the gap.
- the opening of the closure part can be designed for this purpose as a blind hole, in particular as a blind hole or passage opening. In a design as a through hole, a portion of the fastener is thus also passed through the closure member, to then be fixed to the opposite flange portion, for example by the fastener is screwed thereto or secured with a nut.
- fixing of two housing parts to one another can also be realized via the at least one fastening element, by means of which the at least one closure part is detachably fixed in the gap.
- the fastening element for example a screw bolt, thus not only serves to fix the closure part, but also to the intended connection of the two housing parts to one another.
- the closure part may, for example, be elongated and, in particular, designed to be strip-shaped.
- a strip-like configuration of the at least one closure part includes in particular that the closure part has a cuboid base body which is inserted in the gap formed between the two flange sections and fixed therein via at least one separate fastening element.
- the at least one closure part may taper in cross-section to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
- the closure part thus has at least one obliquely extending and thus, for example, a ramp-like running side surface.
- the closure part may be wedge-shaped in cross-section.
- the closure part can taper in a direction of extension extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
- the closure part can thus with a tapering running in the axial direction be designed to optionally facilitate insertion parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
- the at least one closure part forms on an outer side at least one projection which lies outside the gap and projects transversely to the extension direction of the gap from a base body of the closure part received between the flange sections.
- the closure part - at least in the region of the supernatant - in cross section L- or T-shaped.
- a plurality of (at least two) closure parts are at least partially accommodated in the gap formed between the opposing flange sections. Consequently, at least two closure parts for closing a service opening are arranged in the gap.
- the closure parts can also be detachable from the gap and removable from the gap in order, for example, to vary the size of the released service opening. For example, if only one access is needed for a borescope, it may be sufficient to remove only one of several closure parts from the gap. However, several repair parts can then be removed for any repair work and a larger part of the service opening can be released here.
- two opposing flange sections are provided with a service opening closed by at least one closure part.
- the pairs of opposing flange sections each of which defines a gap between them for the releasable fixing of at least one closure part, may be provided symmetrically or asymmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation on the housing wall of the one-piece or multi-part housing.
- the gap in which the at least one closure part is received is not mandatory for the gap in which the at least one closure part is received to run parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor on the housing wall and thus straightforwardly along a longitudinal direction.
- the gap extends at an angle to the axis of rotation of the rotor. In the latter case can then in a tubular housing with a circular cross-section, the closure part to be inserted into the gap must be bent.
- the gap in which the at least one closure part is accommodated has, in one embodiment variant, a gap length which is only a fraction of the length with which the housing extends along a longitudinal direction extending parallel to the axis of rotation.
- the gap for the service opening and the at least one closure part thus do not extend over the entire length of the housing, so that the housing would be slotted completely longitudinally through the gap. Rather, the gap on the housing wall is shorter.
- An inventive housing may be formed, for example, as a compressor housing for receiving at least one rotor of a compressor of the engine.
- the housing can be configured at least in two parts as already explained above.
- an embodiment variant provides that the gap formed between two opposing flange sections extends over only a part of the compressor stages which are accommodated in the compressor housing.
- FIG. 4 illustrates schematically and in section a (gas turbine) engine T, in which the individual engine components along a central axis or axis of rotation M are arranged one behind the other.
- a fan F At an inlet or intake E of the engine T, air is sucked in along an entrance direction E by means of a fan F.
- This fan F is driven by a shaft that is rotated by a turbine TT.
- the turbine TT adjoins a compressor V, which has, for example, a low-pressure compressor 11 and a high-pressure compressor 12, and possibly also a medium-pressure compressor.
- the fan F supplies air to the compressor V and, on the other hand, a bypass channel B for generating the thrust.
- the air conveyed via the compressor V finally passes into a combustion chamber section BK in which the drive energy for driving the turbine TT is generated.
- the turbine TT has a high-pressure turbine 13, a medium-pressure turbine 14 and a low-pressure turbine 15.
- the turbine TT activates the fan F via the energy released during combustion, in order to then generate the required thrust via the air conveyed into the bypass duct B.
- the air in this case leaves the bypass passage B in the region of an outlet A at the end of the engine T, at which the exhaust gases flow out of the turbine TT to the outside.
- the outlet A in this case usually has a discharge nozzle.
- the compressor V has a (compressor) housing G, in whose interior I the rotor of the compressor V is housed.
- the housing G in practice regularly smaller service openings with a diameter of less than 10 mm.
- a Boroskop in the Interior I are introduced to determine any damage.
- the size of the service openings is usually not sized so that tools for repair could be introduced. A simple enlargement of the service opening is also not readily possible because a reliable closure must be ensured for the operation.
- FIG. 1 here shows a detail of the housing G of the compressor V, which extends circumferentially around the central axis / rotation axis M with a housing wall W.
- a longitudinal service opening O in the form of a continuous slot is provided in the housing wall W.
- the service opening O extends parallel to the rotation axis M.
- the housing G is divided into two housing parts G1 and G2, which are connected to each other in the region of the service opening O via opposing flange sections FA1 and FA2.
- the two flange sections FA1 and FA2 project relative to the rotation axis M in the radial direction on an outer lateral surface of a respective housing part G1 or G2.
- the two flange sections FA1 and FA2 lie opposite each other in such a way that an elongate gap 3 is formed between them.
- This gap 3 opens directly into the service opening O, so that a tool can be introduced through the gap 3 through the service opening O into the interior I of the housing G.
- a strip-shaped closure part 2 is provided here which can be inserted into the gap 3 along a mounting direction MR and completely closes the service opening O in the intended condition.
- the mounting direction MR extends in the present case substantially radially inwards.
- the closure part 2 has a plurality of through openings 21 arranged one behind the other in a row. These passage openings 21 are formed on an elongated, cuboid base body 20 of the closure part 2 through holes. In an intended in the column 3 between the two flange sections FA1 and FA2 plugged state of the closure part 2 are the through openings 21 of the closure part 2 in alignment with mounting holes H1 and H2 of the flange FA1 and FA2.
- a fastening nut BM is then screwed onto the end of a screw pin SB pushed through from a first side.
- the closure part 2 is fixed in the gap 3 via a plurality of fastening elements and the two housing parts G1 and G2 are connected to one another.
- the fixation of the closure part 2 is detachable, so that the closure part 2 can be removed from the gap 3 and the service opening O is released.
- each strip-shaped closure parts 2A, 2B and 2C closed.
- the individual closure parts 2A, 2B and 2C are shorter than the continuous closure part 2 of the embodiment of the FIG. 1 ,
- the closure parts 2A, 2B and 2C thus each have a length along the axis of rotation M, which accounts for only a fraction of the total length of the housing G.
- the part of the service opening O to be released can be varied by the number of closure parts 2A, 2B and 2C to be removed. It should also be noted at this point that the service opening O and therefore also the gap 3 need not extend over the entire length of the housing G parallel to the axis of rotation M. Thus, the length of the service opening O and the length of the gap 3 can only make up a fraction of the total length of the housing G.
- FIG. 3C With the Figures 3A, 3B and 3C
- the design of the closure part 2 determines the FIG. 3C with the variant of FIG. 1 match.
- a strip-shaped closure part 2 is provided with a cuboid elongate base body 20, in which a radial outer end face 201 and a radially inner end face 202 in height and length match.
- closure part 2 of the FIG. 3A in cross section, tapered and thus wedge-shaped.
- a radially inner end face 202 of the closure part 2 of the FIG. 3A thus has a lower height a2 than a radially outer end face 201 with a height a1 (a2> a1).
- the radially outer end face 201 of the closure part 2 is formed with two opposing projections 201a and 201b.
- These projections 201 a and 201 b are respectively substantially perpendicular from the cuboid, longitudinally extended base body 20 and thus in the intended installed state substantially transversely to a longitudinal direction of the column 3 outside the column 3 before. Due to the projections 201a and 201b, the closure part 2 of the FIG. 3B in cross-section T-shaped.
- Each supernatant 201a, 201b thus adjoins, in the state of the closure part 2 inserted in the gap 3 as intended, outside the gap 3 against a radially outer side of an associated flange section FA1 or FA2.
- the projections 201a and 201b thus specify the intended radial position of the closure part 2 between the flange sections FA1 and FA2, so that the access openings 21 of the closure part 2 are aligned with the mounting openings H1 and H2 of the two flange sections FA1 and FA2 and the plurality of bolts SB to Fixation can be introduced easily.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für ein Triebwerk nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a housing for an engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein gattungsgemäßes Gehäuse definiert mit einer Gehäusewandung einen Innenraum für die Aufnahme eines Rotors, wobei die Gehäusewandlung den in dem Gehäuse aufgenommenen Rotor umfangsseitig umgibt. Das Gehäuse kann folglich beispielsweise als Verdichtergehäuse für einen Verdichter eines Gasturbinentriebwerks ausgebildet sein, das umfangsseitig insbesondere die rotierenden Schaufelräder des Verdichters umgibt und axial durchströmt werden kann. Insbesondere zu Wartungs- und Reparaturzwecken ist es bekannt, in der Gehäusewandung eines solchen Gehäuses wenigstens eine Serviceöffnung vorzusehen, durch die hindurch der den Rotor aufnehmende Innenraum von außen zugänglich ist. Eine solche Serviceöffnung dient beispielsweise der Einführung eines Werkzeugs, wie zum Beispiel eines Boroskops, um eventuelle Beschädigungen der (rotierenden oder feststehenden) Schaufelräder, also zum Beispiel der Laufschaufeln und Leitschaufeln festzustellen.A generic housing defines with a housing wall an interior for receiving a rotor, wherein the housing conversion circumferentially surrounds the rotor accommodated in the housing. The housing can consequently be designed, for example, as a compressor housing for a compressor of a gas turbine engine, which surrounds the peripheral side in particular the rotating blade wheels of the compressor and can be flowed through axially. In particular, for maintenance and repair purposes, it is known to provide at least one service opening in the housing wall of such a housing, through which the interior receiving the rotor is accessible from outside. Such a service opening is used, for example, the introduction of a tool, such as a borescope to determine any damage to the (rotating or fixed) paddle wheels, so for example, the blades and vanes.
Eine solche Serviceöffnung ist in der Praxis vergleichsweise klein und weist zum Beispiel einen Durchmesser von weniger als 10 mm auf. Die Einführung von Werkzeugen für eine Reparatur von innerhalb der Innenraums liegenden Bauteilen des Triebwerks, insbesondere des Rotor ist hierüber kaum möglich. Eine simple Vergrößerung der Serviceöffnung ist regelmäßig aber ebenfalls nicht ohne Weiteres möglich, insbesondere da die Serviceöffnung im Betrieb verschlossen sein soll und an der Gehäusewandung hierfür zu fixierende Verschlussteile dann vergleichsweise aufwendig fixiert werden müssen, um die Serviceöffnung zuverlässig zu verschließen.Such a service opening is comparatively small in practice and, for example, has a diameter of less than 10 mm. The introduction of tools for repair of lying inside the components of the engine, in particular the rotor is hardly possible. A simple enlargement of the service opening is regularly but also not readily possible, in particular since the service opening should be closed during operation and on the housing wall for this purpose to be fixed closure parts must be fixed comparatively expensive to reliably close the service opening.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Gehäuse für einen Rotor eines Triebwerks in dieser Hinsicht zu verbessern und insbesondere einen erleichterten Zugang über eine Serviceöffnung in einer Gehäusewandung des Gehäuses zu ermöglichen.It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a housing for a rotor of an engine in this regard and in particular to allow easier access via a service opening in a housing wall of the housing.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Gehäuse des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a housing of claim 1.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Gehäuse, beispielsweise ein Verdichtergehäuse für einen Verdichter eines Triebwerks, weist dabei in der Gehäusewandung mindestens eine für Wartungs- und/oder Reparaturarbeiten vorgesehene Serviceöffnung im Bereich zweier einander gegenüberliegender Flanschabschnitte des Gehäuses auf, wobei die Serviceöffnung durch wenigstens ein Verschlussteil verschlossen ist, das zumindest teilweise in einem zwischen den sich gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitten gebildeten Spalt aufgenommen und lösbar fixiert ist.A housing according to the invention, for example a compressor housing for a compressor of an engine, has at least one service opening provided in the housing wall for maintenance and / or repair work in the area of two opposing flange sections of the housing, the service opening being closed by at least one closure part at least partially received in a gap formed between the opposing flange portions and releasably fixed.
Durch die Anordnung des wenigstens einen Verschlussteils in einem Spalt zwischen zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitten kann ohne Weiteres eine ausreichend große Serviceöffnung bereitgestellt und diese durch ein sicher in dem Spalt fixierbares Verschlussteil verschlossen werden. Die Gehäusewanderung kann hierbei einteilig ausgebildet sein, sodass die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden und bezüglich der Rotationsachse des Rotor radial an einer Außenseite des Gehäuses vorstehenden Flanschabschnitte ausschließlich oder vornehmlich der Fixierung des Verschlussteils dienen. In einer alternativen Ausführungsvariante kann das Gehäuse aber auch mehrteilig ausgebildet sein, wobei dann über die zwei Flanschabschnitte zwei Gehäuseteile des Gehäuses miteinander verbunden sind. Hierbei können die zwei Gehäuseteile auch - vorzugsweise symmetrisch - über mehrere paarweise einander zugeordnete Flanschabschnitte miteinander verbunden sein. Ein Spalt zwischen zwei Flanschabschnitten, über den eine Serviceöffnung gebildet wird oder zugänglich ist, ist in einer Ausführungsvariante dann aber lediglich an einem von mehreren Paaren von Flanschabschnitten vorgesehen. Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass über die mehreren Paare von Flanschabschnitten, über die die (mindestens) zwei Gehäuseteile miteinander verbunden sind, auch mehrere Serviceöffnungen über je wenigstens ein Verschlussteil verschlossen und bei Bedarf zugänglich sind.By arranging the at least one closure part in a gap between two opposing flange sections, a sufficiently large service opening can readily be provided and these can be closed by a closure part which can be securely fixed in the gap. The housing hitch may in this case be formed in one piece, so that the two opposite and with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor radially on an outer side of the housing projecting flange serve exclusively or primarily the fixation of the closure member. In an alternative embodiment, however, the housing may also be designed in several parts, in which case two housing parts of the housing are then connected to one another via the two flange sections. Here, the two housing parts can also - preferably symmetrically - be connected to each other via a plurality of mutually associated flange sections. A gap between two flange sections, over which a service opening is formed or is accessible, is then provided in one embodiment only on one of a plurality of pairs of flange sections. Alternatively, it can also be provided that via the plurality of pairs of flange sections, via which the (at least) two housing parts are connected to one another, a plurality of service openings are also closed via at least one closure part and are accessible if necessary.
In einer Ausführungsvariante weist wenigstens einer der Flanschabschnitte mindestens eine Befestigungsöffnung auf, die mit einer Öffnung des - bestimmungsgemäß in dem Spalt aufgenommenen - Verschlussteils fluchtet und durch die hindurch zur lösbaren Fixierung des Verschlussteils ein Befestigungselement greift. Die mindestens eine Befestigungsöffnung des Flanschabschnitts ist somit als Durchgangsöffnung für das Einstecken oder Eindrehen eines Befestigungselements, wie zum Beispiel eines Schraubbolzens, vorgesehen, um hierüber das Verschlussteil an dem Flanschabschnitt und in dem Spalt zu fixieren. Die Öffnung des Verschlussteils kann hierfür als Sackloch, insbesondere als Sacklochbohrung oder Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildet sein. Bei einer Ausbildung als Durchgangsöffnung wird ein Abschnitt des Befestigungselements folglich auch durch das Verschlussteil hindurch geführt, um dann an dem gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitt fixiert zu werden, beispielsweise indem das Befestigungselement hieran eingedreht wird oder mit einer Mutter gesichert wird.In one embodiment variant, at least one of the flange sections has at least one fastening opening which is aligned with an opening of the closure part, which is received in the gap as intended, and through which a fastening element engages for releasably fixing the closure part. The at least one fastening opening of the flange portion is thus provided as a passage opening for the insertion or screwing in of a fastening element, such as a screw bolt, in order to fix the closure part to the flange portion and into the gap. The opening of the closure part can be designed for this purpose as a blind hole, in particular as a blind hole or passage opening. In a design as a through hole, a portion of the fastener is thus also passed through the closure member, to then be fixed to the opposite flange portion, for example by the fastener is screwed thereto or secured with a nut.
Bei einem mehrteiligen Gehäuse kann über das mindestens eine Befestigungselement, über dass das wenigstens eine Verschlussteile in dem Spalt lösbar fixiert ist, auch eine Fixierung zweier Gehäuseteile aneinander realisiert sein. Das Befestigungselement, zum Beispiel ein Schraubbolzen, dient somit nicht nur der Fixierung des Verschlussteils, sondern auch der bestimmungsgemäßen Verbindung der zwei Gehäuseteile aneinander.In the case of a multi-part housing, fixing of two housing parts to one another can also be realized via the at least one fastening element, by means of which the at least one closure part is detachably fixed in the gap. The fastening element, for example a screw bolt, thus not only serves to fix the closure part, but also to the intended connection of the two housing parts to one another.
Das Verschlussteil kann beispielsweise längserstreckt und insbesondere leistenförmig ausgebildet sein. Eine leistenförmige Ausgestaltung des wenigstens einen Verschlussteils schließt dabei insbesondere ein, dass das Verschlussteil einen quaderförmigen Grundkörper aufweist, der in dem zwischen den beiden Flanschabschnitten gebildeten Spalt eingesteckt und hierin über wenigstens ein separates Befestigungselement fixiert ist.The closure part may, for example, be elongated and, in particular, designed to be strip-shaped. A strip-like configuration of the at least one closure part includes in particular that the closure part has a cuboid base body which is inserted in the gap formed between the two flange sections and fixed therein via at least one separate fastening element.
In einer Ausführungsvariante kann sich das wenigstens eine Verschlussteil im Querschnitt zur Rotationsachse des Rotors hin verjüngen. Das Verschlussteil weist somit wenigstens eine schräg verlaufende und mithin beispielsweise rampenartig verlaufende Seitenfläche auf. Insbesondere kann das Verschlussteil im Querschnitt keilförmig ausgebildet sein.In one embodiment variant, the at least one closure part may taper in cross-section to the axis of rotation of the rotor. The closure part thus has at least one obliquely extending and thus, for example, a ramp-like running side surface. In particular, the closure part may be wedge-shaped in cross-section.
Alternativ oder ergänzend kann sich das Verschlussteil in einer parallel zur Rotationsachse des Rotors verlaufenden Erstreckungsrichtung verjüngen. Das Verschlussteil kann somit mit einer in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Verjüngung ausgebildet sein, um gegebenenfalls ein Einstecken parallel zur Rotationsachse des Rotors zu erleichtern.Alternatively or additionally, the closure part can taper in a direction of extension extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor. The closure part can thus with a tapering running in the axial direction be designed to optionally facilitate insertion parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
In einer Variante bildet das wenigstens eine Verschlussteil an einer Außenseite mindestens einen Überstand aus, der außerhalb des Spaltes liegt und von einem zwischen den Flanschabschnitten aufgenommenen Grundkörper des Verschlussteils quer zur Erstreckungsrichtung des Spaltes vorsteht. Insbesondere in dieser Variante kann folglich das Verschlussteil - zumindest im Bereich des Überstandes - im Querschnitt L- oder T-förmig ausgebildet sein.In one variant, the at least one closure part forms on an outer side at least one projection which lies outside the gap and projects transversely to the extension direction of the gap from a base body of the closure part received between the flange sections. In particular, in this variant, consequently, the closure part - at least in the region of the supernatant - in cross section L- or T-shaped.
In einer Ausführungsvariante sind in dem zwischen den sich gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitten gebildeten Spalt mehrere (mindestens zwei) Verschlussteile zumindest teilweise aufgenommen. In dem Spalt sind folglich mindestens zwei Verschlussteile zum Verschluss einer Serviceöffnung angeordnet. Dabei können die Verschlussteile gegebenenfalls auch unabhängig voneinander lösbar und aus dem Spalt entfernbar sein, um beispielsweise die Größe der freigegebenen Serviceöffnung zu variieren. Wird beispielsweise nur ein Zugang für ein Boroskop benötigt, kann es ausreichen, lediglich eines von mehreren Verschlussteilen aus dem Spalt zu entfernen. Für eventuelle Reparaturarbeiten können dann aber mehrere Verschlussteile entfernt und hierüber ein größerer Teil der Serviceöffnung freigegeben werden.In one embodiment, a plurality of (at least two) closure parts are at least partially accommodated in the gap formed between the opposing flange sections. Consequently, at least two closure parts for closing a service opening are arranged in the gap. If appropriate, the closure parts can also be detachable from the gap and removable from the gap in order, for example, to vary the size of the released service opening. For example, if only one access is needed for a borescope, it may be sufficient to remove only one of several closure parts from the gap. However, several repair parts can then be removed for any repair work and a larger part of the service opening can be released here.
Um von unterschiedlichen Stellen das Innere des Gehäuses zugänglich zu machen, kann in einer Ausführungsvariante vorgesehen sein, dass in der Gehäusewandung an mindestens einer weiteren Stelle zwei einander gegenüberliegende Flanschabschnitte mit einer durch wenigstens ein Verschlussteil verschlossenen Serviceöffnung vorgesehen sind. Wie bereits zuvor erläutert, können hierbei die Paare einander gegenüberliegender Flanschabschnitte, die jeweils zwischen sich einen Spalt für die lösbare Fixierung wenigstens eines Verschlussteils definieren, symmetrisch oder asymmetrisch bezüglich der Rotationsachse an der Gehäusewandung des einteiligen oder mehrteiligen Gehäuses vorgesehen sein.In order to make the interior of the housing accessible from different places, it can be provided in one embodiment that in the housing wall at at least one further point two opposing flange sections are provided with a service opening closed by at least one closure part. As already explained above, the pairs of opposing flange sections, each of which defines a gap between them for the releasable fixing of at least one closure part, may be provided symmetrically or asymmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation on the housing wall of the one-piece or multi-part housing.
Es ist grundsätzlich nicht zwingend, dass der Spalt, in dem das wenigstens eine Verschlussteil aufgenommen ist, an der Gehäusewandung parallel zu der Rotationsachse des Rotors und damit geradlinig entlang einer Längsrichtung verläuft. Beispielsweise kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Spalt unter einem Winkel zur Rotationsachse des Rotors verläuft. Im zuletzt genannten Fall kann dann bei einem rohrförmigen Gehäuse mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt das in den Spalt einzusetzende Verschlussteil gebogen ausgeführt sein.In principle, it is not mandatory for the gap in which the at least one closure part is received to run parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor on the housing wall and thus straightforwardly along a longitudinal direction. For example, it can also be provided that the gap extends at an angle to the axis of rotation of the rotor. In the latter case can then in a tubular housing with a circular cross-section, the closure part to be inserted into the gap must be bent.
Der Spalt, in dem das wenigstens eine Verschlussteil aufgenommen ist, weist in einer Ausführungsvariante eine Spaltlänge auf, die nur einen Bruchteil derjenigen Länge ausmacht, mit der sich das Gehäuse entlang einer parallel zur Rotationsachse verlaufenden Längsrichtung erstreckt. Der Spalt für die Serviceöffnung und das wenigstens eine Verschlussteil erstrecken sich somit nicht über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses, sodass das Gehäuse durch den Spalt vollständig längs geschlitzt wäre. Vielmehr ist der Spalt an der Gehäusewand kürzer ausgebildet. Alternativ kann aber selbstverständlich auch ein längs geschlitztes Gehäuse vorgesehen sein, bei dem der Spalt über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses verläuft.The gap in which the at least one closure part is accommodated has, in one embodiment variant, a gap length which is only a fraction of the length with which the housing extends along a longitudinal direction extending parallel to the axis of rotation. The gap for the service opening and the at least one closure part thus do not extend over the entire length of the housing, so that the housing would be slotted completely longitudinally through the gap. Rather, the gap on the housing wall is shorter. Alternatively, however, it is of course also possible to provide a longitudinally slotted housing in which the gap extends over the entire length of the housing.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Gehäuse kann beispielsweise als Verdichtergehäuse für die Aufnahme wenigstens eines Rotors eines Verdichters des Triebwerks ausgebildet sein. Hierbei kann das Gehäuse wie bereits zuvor erläutert wenigstens zweiteilig ausgestaltet sein. Alternativ oder ergänzend sieht eine Ausführungsvariante vor, dass sich der zwischen zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitten gebildete Spalt über lediglich einen Teil der Verdichterstufen erstreckt, die in dem Verdichtergehäuse untergebracht sind.An inventive housing may be formed, for example, as a compressor housing for receiving at least one rotor of a compressor of the engine. Here, the housing can be configured at least in two parts as already explained above. Alternatively or additionally, an embodiment variant provides that the gap formed between two opposing flange sections extends over only a part of the compressor stages which are accommodated in the compressor housing.
Grundsätzlich kann bei einem Triebwerk mit einem Rotor, der in einem erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuse aufgenommen ist, die Zugänglichkeit insbesondere des Rotors für Wartung- und/oder Reparaturarbeiten über die Serviceöffnung erheblich erleichtert werden. Die dabei erzielbaren Vorteile sind hierbei nicht auf einen Verdichter des Triebwerks und damit ein Verdichtergehäuse beschränkt. Ebenso ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Gehäuse zur Aufnahme eines Rotors der Turbine des Triebwerks, insbesondere eines Gasturbinentriebwerks, einsetzbar.In principle, in the case of an engine with a rotor, which is accommodated in a housing according to the invention, the accessibility, in particular of the rotor, for maintenance and / or repair work via the service opening can be considerably facilitated. The achievable advantages are not limited to a compressor of the engine and thus a compressor housing. Likewise, an inventive housing for receiving a rotor of the turbine of the engine, in particular a gas turbine engine, can be used.

Die
Der Verdichter V weist ein (Verdichter-) Gehäuse G auf, in dessen Innenraum I der Rotor des Verdichters V untergebracht ist. Um den Innenraum I von außen für Wartungs- und/oder Reparaturarbeiten zugänglich zu machen, weist das Gehäuse G in der Praxis regelmäßig kleinere Serviceöffnungen mit einem Durchmesser von weniger als 10 mm auf. Über eine derartige Serviceöffnung kann dann beispielsweise ein Boroskop in den Innenraum I eingeführt werden, um eventuelle Beschädigungen festzustellen. Die Größe der Serviceöffnungen ist jedoch üblicherweise nicht derart bemessen, dass hierüber Werkzeuge für eine Reparatur eingeführt werden könnten. Eine einfache Vergrößerung der Serviceöffnung ist ebenfalls nicht ohne Weiteres möglich, da für den Betrieb ein zuverlässiger Verschluss sichergestellt sein muss.The compressor V has a (compressor) housing G, in whose interior I the rotor of the compressor V is housed. In order to make the interior I accessible from the outside for maintenance and / or repair work, the housing G in practice regularly smaller service openings with a diameter of less than 10 mm. About such a service opening can then, for example, a Boroskop in the Interior I are introduced to determine any damage. However, the size of the service openings is usually not sized so that tools for repair could be introduced. A simple enlargement of the service opening is also not readily possible because a reliable closure must be ensured for the operation.
In diesem Zusammenhang schafft die erfindungsgemäße Lösung Abhilfe, zu der anhand der
Die
Durch den Längsschlitz der Serviceöffnung O ist das Gehäuse G in zwei Gehäuseteile G1 und G2 unterteilt, die im Bereich der Serviceöffnung O über einander gegenüberliegende Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 stehen bezogen auf die Rotationsachse M in radialer Richtung an einer äußeren Mantelfläche jeweils eines Gehäuseteils G1 oder G2 vor. Die beiden Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 liegen dabei einander derart gegenüber, dass zwischen ihnen ein längserstreckter Spalt 3 gebildet wird. Dieser Spalt 3 mündet unmittelbar in die Serviceöffnung O, sodass ein Werkzeug über den Spalt 3 durch die Serviceöffnung O hindurch in den Innenraum I des Gehäuses G eingeführt werden kann.Through the longitudinal slot of the service opening O, the housing G is divided into two housing parts G1 and G2, which are connected to each other in the region of the service opening O via opposing flange sections FA1 and FA2. The two flange sections FA1 and FA2 project relative to the rotation axis M in the radial direction on an outer lateral surface of a respective housing part G1 or G2. The two flange sections FA1 and FA2 lie opposite each other in such a way that an
Um die Serviceöffnung O für den Betrieb des Gasturbinentriebwerks T zu verschließen, ist ein hier leistenförmiges Verschlussteil 2 vorgesehen, das entlang einer Montagerichtung MR in den Spalt 3 eingesteckt werden kann und im bestimmungsgemäß montierten Zustand die Serviceöffnung O vollständig verschließt. Die Montagerichtung MR verläuft vorliegend im Wesentlichen radial nach innen.In order to close the service opening O for the operation of the gas turbine engine T, a strip-shaped
Für die Fixierung des in dem Spalt 3 aufgenommenen Verschlussteils 2 weist das Verschlussteil 2 mehrere in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordnete Durchgriffsöffnungen 21 auf. Diese Durchgriffsöffnungen 21 sind an einem längserstreckten, quaderförmigen Grundkörper 20 des Verschlussteils 2 durch Bohrungen ausgebildet. In einem bestimmungsgemäß in den Spalte 3 zwischen die beiden Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 eingesteckten Zustand des Verschlussteils 2 liegen die Durchgriffsöffnungen 21 des Verschlussteils 2 fluchtend Befestigungsöffnungen H1 und H2 der Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 gegenüber. Derart kann ein Befestigungselement - hier in Form eines Schraubbolzen SB - an den Flanschabschnitten FA1 und FA2 angebracht werden, sodass dieses die Flanschabschnitte FA1 und FA2 miteinander verbindet und eine Durchgriffsöffnung 21 des Verschlussteils 2 durchgreift. Zur endgültigen Fixierung wird dann im vorliegenden Fall auf das Ende eines von einer ersten Seite durchgesteckten Schraubbolzens SB eine Befestigungsmutter BM aufgeschraubt. Auf diese Art und Weise ist das Verschlussteil 2 über mehrere Befestigungselemente in dem Spalt 3 fixiert und sind die beiden Gehäuseteile G1 und G2 miteinander verbunden. Für Wartungs- und/oder Reparaturarbeiten ist die Fixierung des Verschlussteils 2 jedoch lösbar, sodass das Verschlussteil 2 aus dem Spalt 3 entfernt werden kann und die Serviceöffnung O freigegeben wird.For the fixation of the
Bei der Ausführungsvariante der
Indem die einzelnen Verschlussteile 2A, 2B und 2C voneinander unabhängig aus dem Spalt 3 entfernbar sind, kann der freizugebende Teil der Serviceöffnung O über die Anzahl der zu entfernenden Verschlussteile 2A, 2B und 2C variiert werden. Es sei an dieser Stelle auch noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Serviceöffnung O und damit auch der Spalt 3 sich nicht über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses G parallel zur Rotationsachse M erstrecken muss. So kann bereits die Länge der Serviceöffnung O und die Länge des Spaltes 3 jeweils nur einen Bruchteil der Gesamtlänge des Gehäuses G ausmachen.By allowing the
