Claims (12)
- Adjustable blade cascade for a turbomachine, in particular a compressor or turbine stage of a gas turbine, comprising
at least one first blade which has a first distance (B) in the circumferential direction from at least one blade (30) that is adjacent in the circumferential direction,
at least one second blade, in particular stator blade (20), which has a second distance (A) in the circumferential direction from at least one blade (40) that is adjacent in the circumferential direction, which second distance is smaller than the first distance (B), and an adjustment device (50-54) for jointly adjusting the first and second blade from a first position, in which at least one airfoil profile section (11) of the first blade (10) and one airfoil profile section (21) of the second blade (20) each have a first stagger angle (β1B; β1A), into a second position, in which these airfoil profile sections (11,21) have second stagger angles (β2B; β2A),
characterized in that the first stagger angle (β1B) of the first blade (10) is equal to the first stagger angle (β1A) of the second blade (20), and
the second stagger angle (β2B) of the first blade (10) differing from the second stagger angle (β2A) of the second blade (20), in particular being larger than the second stagger angle (β2A) of the second blade (20). - Adjustable blade cascade according to claim 1, characterized in that the first stagger angle (β1B) of the first blade (10) differs from the first stagger angle (β1A) of the second blade (20), in particular is smaller or larger than the first stagger angle (β1A) of the second blade (20).
- Adjustable blade cascade according to either of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first stagger angle (β1B) of the first blade (10) is smaller or largerthan the second stagger angle (β2B) of the first blade (10) and/or the first staggerangle (β1A) of the second blade (20) is smaller or larger than the second stagger angle (β2A) of the second blade (20).
- Adjustable blade cascade according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the adjustment device comprises an adjustment means (50) for jointly and/or reversibly adjusting the first and second blade (10, 20) from the first position into the second position, to which adjustment means the first blade (10) is coupled via at least one first coupling member (51) and the second blade (20) is coupled via at least one second coupling member (52).
- Adjustable blade cascade according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the adjustment means (50) is rotatably and/or translationally adjustable and/or is connected to the first coupling member (51) by a first joint (61) and/or to the second coupling member (52) by a second joint (62).
- Adjustable blade cascade according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the first and/or second joint (61, 62) is a revolute and/or prismatic joint and/or has at least one rotational and/orat least one translational degree of freedom.
- Adjustable blade cascade according to either of the two preceding claims, characterized in that the first joint (61) is spaced apart from the second joint (62) in the axial direction.
- Adjustable blade cascade according to any of the preceding claims 4 to 7, characterized in that a lever arm length (151) of the first coupling member (51) differs from a lever arm length (152) of the second coupling member (52), in particular is smaller or larger than the lever arm length (152) of the second coupling member (52).
- Adjustable blade cascade according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that an adjustment axis (12) of the first blade (10) and an adjustment axis (22) of the second blade (20) are aligned with one another in the circumferential direction.
- Adjustable blade cascade according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the distance of the first blade (10) in the circumferential direction from the at least one blade (30) that is adjacent in the circumferential direction is a distance between a or the adjustment axis (12) of the first blade (10) and a or the adjustment axis (32) of this adjacent blade (30) and/or in that the distance of the second blade (20) in the circumferential direction from the at least one blade (40) that is adjacent in the circumferential direction is a distance between a or the adjustment axis (22) of the second blade (20) and a or the adjustment axis (42) of this adjacent blade (40).
- Turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, having at least one adjustable blade cascade according to any of the preceding claims.
- Method for adjusting a blade cascade according to any of claims 1 to 10, wherein the first and second blade (10, 20) are adjusted, in particular jointly and/or reversibly, from the first position into the second position in which the airfoil profile sections (11, 21) have the second stagger angles (β2B; β2A) that differfrom one another.
