Definitions
- the present invention relates to a positioning element for a guide vane arrangement of a guide vane stage of a gas turbine, with at least one base section curved in the circumferential direction; a plurality of receiving openings arranged adjacent to one another in the circumferential direction on the base section, the opening axis of which extends essentially in the radial direction and which are set up to receive a respective radially inner guide vane section; a coupling section provided on the base section, which can be coupled or coupled to a seal carrier of a sealing arrangement.
- An example of a positioning element for a guide vane arrangement of a guide vane stage of a gas turbine is in the document US 2007/0128020 given.
- Directional information such as “axial” or “axial”, “radial” or “radial” and “circumferential” are basically to be understood in relation to the machine axis of the gas turbine, unless something else explicitly or implicitly results from the context.
- An addressed vane stage can be arranged in the area of a compressor or in the area of the turbine.
- the feature coupling section is to be understood broadly and includes, for example, a section that enables a positive connection with a counterpart of a seal carrier. However, the coupling section can also simply be an area or a surface of the base section to which a sealing element can be attached directly.
- Such a positioning element can also be referred to as a position ring or position half ring.
- the circular arrangement in a gas turbine is achieved by two semicircular position half-rings which abut one another in a common parting plane. It has been shown that, due to the thermal conditions, a radial temperature gradient forms in the position half rings, the position half rings radially on the outside being subject to greater expansion in the circumferential direction than radially on the inside. This greater radially outer circumferential expansion leads in particular in the region of the parting plane to severe deformations of the positioning element and the seal carrier coupled to it. These deformations can also be described as constrictions and are known under the term cording effect.
- the result of this is that, in particular, the seal carrier or its sealing elements come into contact with sealing fins rotating relative to these, so that the sealing elements are subject to severe wear.
- the cording effect leads in particular to a narrowing or localization in the area of the parting plane Reduction in diameter when the gas turbine is accelerated and widening or local increase in diameter when the gas turbine is slowed down.
- the object of the invention is to provide a positioning element in which the cording effect is reduced.
- At least one recess is provided in the base section, which is arranged between two adjacent receiving openings and extends at least in the radial direction from the inside outwards.
- the provision of such recesses enables the positioning element in the region of the recess to have a smaller effective radial height, to which the temperature gradient acts and which has an influence on the expansion of the positioning element. If such cutouts are provided along the circumference at a plurality of locations between the respective receiving openings, the cording effect can be influenced, since the deformations that occur are less than in the case of a continuous positioning element without cutouts.
- the recesses in the positioning element also lead to a reduced bending stiffness of the positioning element.
- the cording effect is also influenced by the ratio of the bending stiffness of the positioning element and seal carrier. It is advantageous if the positioning element is "softer" or less stiff, because this reduces the cording effect. Furthermore, with a less rigid positioning element, a stiffer seal carrier can counteract the constriction of the positioning element.
- the positioning element can have an annular design and two semicircular base sections.
- a reduction in the cording effect and thus in constrictions on the positioning element also leads to a reduction in local inlets at a division level from the semicircular base sections.
- the coupling portion may include at least one axially front groove and one axially rear groove that run along the circumferential direction at the base portion. These two circumferential grooves are used in particular to couple a seal carrier to the positioning element.
- the axially front groove and the axially rear groove can have essentially the same distance in the radial direction from a radial inside of the base section.
- the two grooves are at approximately the same level or are at substantially the same distance (radius) from a machine axis.
- the recess can also extend in the axial direction between two receiving openings and extend from an axially front surface of the base section to an axially rear surface of the base section.
- the recess can be designed as a slot in the base section.
- the recess can have a changing radial height along the axial direction or have a constant height. Furthermore, the recess along the axial direction can have a changing width in the circumferential direction or have a constant width.
- the cording effect can be influenced in a targeted manner by an appropriate design or dimensioning of the cutouts or of the slot, in particular also taking into account that the radial temperature gradient also changes over the axial length.
- the cutout can run in the circumferential direction in an axially rear region of the base section, such that outer walls of the receiving openings which are essentially cylindrical are visible from the axially rear.
- the recess can be limited in the axial direction by an axially front wall section. The result is a continuous recess in an axially rear region, which extends forward in the axial direction between the receiving openings and ends at the axially front wall section.
- the axially front groove and the axially rear groove can have a different distance from a radial inside of the base section.
- the positioning element of the second embodiment can be produced by means of an additive manufacturing method, in particular by means of selective laser melting.
- the invention also relates to a seal carrier for a seal arrangement with a base section which is curved in the circumferential direction and on which a sealing element is provided radially on the inside; a counter-coupling section which can be coupled or coupled to a coupling section of a positioning element, the counter-coupling section having an axially front spring section and an axially rear spring section which can be inserted or introduced with corresponding grooves in the coupling section of the positioning element. It is proposed that the axially front spring section and the axially rear spring section have a different distance from a radial inside of the base section.
- Such a seal carrier is particularly suitable for coupling to a positioning element of the second embodiment.
- the spring sections can be attached to an axially front support wall and to an axially rear support wall, such that the two spring sections face each other in the axial direction.
- the base section can have a cover section which is inclined radially on the outside in relation to the axial direction and the radial direction.
- Such an inclined cover section serves in particular in a coupled state to cover the recess on the positioning element.
- a plurality of openings can be provided next to one another in the circumferential direction.
- the invention also relates to a guide vane carrier arrangement for a gas turbine, in particular an aircraft gas turbine, with at least one positioning element according to the first embodiment and at least one associated seal carrier or with at least one positioning element according to the second embodiment and at least one seal carrier described above.
- Fig. 1 shows a simplified schematic plan view in the axial direction of a first embodiment of a positioning element 10 and Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the positioning element 10.
- the positioning element 10 has a base section 12 which is curved in a semicircle.
- a plurality of receiving openings 14 arranged next to one another in the circumferential direction UR are provided in the base section 12.
- the receiving openings 14 are used in particular for receiving guide vanes, not shown here.
- Recesses 16 can be seen in the circumferential direction UR between two adjacent receiving openings 14. These recesses 16 extend in the radial direction RR from the inside to the outside.
- the dashed line TE Fig. 1
- the so-called parting plane is indicated.
- the base section 12 further comprises a coupling section 18 located radially on the inside.
- a sealing carrier (not shown here) can be attached to this coupling section 18.
- the cutouts 16 extend in particular through the coupling section 18.
- the feature coupling section can be understood broadly and comprises, for example, a section which enables a form-fitting connection to a counterpart of a seal carrier.
- the coupling section can also simply be an area or a surface of the base section to which a sealing element can be attached directly.
- FIG. 3 and 4 show the positioning element 10, which is also referred to in technical jargon as a locating ring or positioning ring, in a perspective view from the radial inside.
- the Fig. 3 In particular, an abutting surface 20 of the base section 12 can be seen. With this abutting surface 20, the base section 12 lies in the area of the parting plane TE ( Fig. 1 ) on the other semicircular base section.
- the coupling section 18 has a type of inverted T-profile.
- an axially front groove 22 and an axially rear groove 24 are formed.
- Corresponding counterparts or spring-like counter-coupling sections of a seal carrier are to be connected with these two grooves 22, 24.
- the recesses 16 in particular also extend through the grooves 22, 24.
- FIG. 5 is a view from the axially rear of the base section 12. From this illustration and also from the previous illustrations it can be seen that the cutouts 16 of FIG extend radially inward to radially outward. However, the cutouts 16 do not cut through the base section 12. Rather, the recesses 16 are slit-like. The width in the circumferential direction of such a recess 16 along the axial direction and / or along the radial direction can be constant or variable.
- the 6A) and 6B ) are sectional views in the area of a recess 16 or slot, as shown by the section line VI-VI of Fig. 3 is indicated.
- a radial height RH of the recesses 16 can, as can be seen from the sectional views in FIG 6A) and 6B ) can be seen, also be constant or changeable.
- a variable height RH of the recess 16 or the slot is shown.
- a constant height RH is shown over the axial extent.
- the recesses can be adapted to respective properties, in particular the radial temperature gradients, by changing their dimensions in height and width.
- Such temperature gradients also depend in particular on further structural boundary conditions of an inner ring and guide vane arrangement of a gas turbine.
- FIG. 7 two variants of a base section 12 are shown in sub-figures A) and B).
- the base section 12 in Figure 7A has a few, here in each case five recesses 16, starting from the division level TE.
- the recesses are therefore not distributed along the circumference of the entire base section 12, but rather only near the parting plane TE.
- cutouts 16 are provided along the entire circumference, but a cutout 16 is only provided every two receiving openings 14.
- the Figure 7B corresponds to the Fig. 5 .
- Fig. 7 shows a second embodiment of a positioning element 110 with a base section 112 in a perspective view obliquely from behind (axial direction).
- Recesses 116 are provided between receiving openings 114 and extend at least in the radial direction RR.
- the recesses 116 are not designed as slots, but are designed such that the outer peripheral walls 115 of the receiving openings 114 are visible.
- the base section also has a coupling section 118, which has an axially front groove 122 and an axially rear groove 124.
- the axially rear groove 124 is arranged radially on the outside of the base section 112. This changed arrangement of the axially rear groove 124 is due to the larger recesses 116 and material missing radially on the inside, on which an axially rear groove could be formed as in the first embodiment.
- the axially rear groove 124 is located radially further outward than the axially front groove 122 with respect to a machine axis of the gas turbine.
- the recesses 116 are delimited axially at the front by an axially front wall section 117.
- the axially front wall section 117 also forms the back or opposite side of a groove base of the axially front groove 122.
- the shape of the base section 112 with the recesses 116 and the coupling section 118 with the two grooves 122, 124 presented here is optimized in such a way that the base section 112 can be produced by means of an additive manufacturing method, in particular by means of selective laser melting.
- the semicircular base section 112 can be built up in layers, for example, from axially front to axially rear.
- the seal carrier 130 comprises counter-coupling sections 132, 134.
- the counter-coupling sections 132, 134 project in the axial direction, such that spring-like projections are formed. Accordingly, the counter coupling section 132 can engage in the axially front groove 122 of the base section, and the counter coupling section 134 can engage in the axially rear groove 124 of the base section 112.
- a sealing element, not shown here, would have to be provided on the radial inside 136 of the seal carrier 130.
- the negative feedback sections 132, 134 are designed as axially front spring section 132 and as axially rear spring section 134. In particular, they are at a different distance from a radial inside of a base section 138.
- the seal carrier 130 has the base section 138 which is arranged opposite (radially inside) the receptacle openings 114 in the assembled state.
- This base section merges into or comprises an inclined covering section 140.
- the covering section 140 is used in particular to enable producibility by means of selective laser melting.
- a plurality of openings 142 are provided in the inclined cover section 140. These openings 142 also serve to produce them by means of selective laser melting.
- the shape of the seal carrier 130 is thus designed such that it can be manufactured by means of an additive manufacturing method, in particular by means of selective laser melting.
- Both embodiments have in common that recesses 16, 116 are provided in the base section 12, 112, which serve to reduce the cording effect on the positioning element 10, 110.
- the cutouts act in particular to provide interruptions so that a radial temperature gradient cannot develop its full effect along the entire circumference of the positioning element 10, 110.
- the cutouts also serve to reduce the bending stiffness of the positioning element, which likewise reduces the cording effect.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Positionierungselement für eine Leitschaufelanordnung einer Leitschaufelstufe einer Gasturbine, mit wenigstens einem in Umfangsrichtung gekrümmten Basisabschnitt; mehreren in Umfangsrichtung benachbart zueinander am Basisabschnitt angeordneten Aufnahmeöffnungen, deren Öffnungsachse im Wesentlichen in Radialrichtung verläuft und die dazu eingerichtet sind, einen jeweiligen radial inneren Leitschaufelabschnitt aufzunehmen; einen am Basisabschnitt vorgesehenen Kopplungsabschnitt, der mit einem Dichtungsträger einer Dichtungsanordnung koppelbar oder gekoppelt ist. Ein Beispiel eines Positionierungselements für eine Leitschaufelanordnung einer Leitschaufelstufe einer Gasturbine ist im Dokument
Richtungsangaben wie "Axial-" bzw. "axial", "Radial-" bzw. "radial" und "Umfangs-" sind grundsätzlich auf die Maschinenachse der Gasturbine bezogen zu verstehen, sofern sich aus dem Kontext nicht explizit oder implizit etwas anderes ergibt. Eine angesprochene Leitschaufelstufe kann im Bereich eines Verdichters oder im Bereich der Turbine angeordnet sein. Das Merkmal Kopplungsabschnitt ist breit zu verstehen und umfasst beispielsweise einen Abschnitt, der eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einem Gegenstück eines Dichtungsträger ermöglicht. Der Kopplungsabschnitt kann aber auch einfach ein Bereich bzw. eine Fläche des Basisabschnitts sein, an dem ein Dichtungselement direkt angebracht sein kann.Directional information such as "axial" or "axial", "radial" or "radial" and "circumferential" are basically to be understood in relation to the machine axis of the gas turbine, unless something else explicitly or implicitly results from the context. An addressed vane stage can be arranged in the area of a compressor or in the area of the turbine. The feature coupling section is to be understood broadly and includes, for example, a section that enables a positive connection with a counterpart of a seal carrier. However, the coupling section can also simply be an area or a surface of the base section to which a sealing element can be attached directly.
Ein solches Positionierungselement kann auch als Positionsring oder Positionshalbring bezeichnet werden. In der Regel wird die kreisförmige Anordnung in einer Gasturbine erreicht durch zwei halbkreisförmige Positionshalbringe, die in einer gemeinsamen Trennebene aneinander anstoßen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass sich aufgrund der thermischen Verhältnisse ein radialer Temperaturgradient in den Positionshalbringen ausbildet, wobei die Positionshalbringe radial außen einer größeren Dehnung in Umfangsrichtung unterliegen als radial innen. Diese stärkere radial äußere Umfangsdehnung führt insbesondere auch im Bereich der Trennebene zu starken Verformungen des Positionierungselements und daran gekoppelter Dichtungsträger. Diese Verformungen können auch als Einschnürungen beschrieben werden und sind unter dem Begriff Cording-Effekt bekannt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass insbesondere die Dichtungsträger bzw. deren Dichtelemente mit relativ zu diesen drehenden Dichtfins in Kontakt kommen, so dass eine starke Abnutzung der Dichtungselemente auftritt. Der Cording-Effekt führt im Bereich der Trennebene insbesondere zu einer Verengung bzw. lokalen Durchmesserverkleinerung, wenn die Gasturbine beschleunigt wird, und zu einer Aufweitung bzw. lokalen Durchmesservergrößerung, wenn die Gasturbine verlangsamt wird.Such a positioning element can also be referred to as a position ring or position half ring. As a rule, the circular arrangement in a gas turbine is achieved by two semicircular position half-rings which abut one another in a common parting plane. It has been shown that, due to the thermal conditions, a radial temperature gradient forms in the position half rings, the position half rings radially on the outside being subject to greater expansion in the circumferential direction than radially on the inside. This greater radially outer circumferential expansion leads in particular in the region of the parting plane to severe deformations of the positioning element and the seal carrier coupled to it. These deformations can also be described as constrictions and are known under the term cording effect. The result of this is that, in particular, the seal carrier or its sealing elements come into contact with sealing fins rotating relative to these, so that the sealing elements are subject to severe wear. The cording effect leads in particular to a narrowing or localization in the area of the parting plane Reduction in diameter when the gas turbine is accelerated and widening or local increase in diameter when the gas turbine is slowed down.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Positionierungselement bereitzustellen, bei dem der Cording-Effekt verringert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a positioning element in which the cording effect is reduced.
Hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, dass im Basisabschnitt wenigstens eine Aussparung vorgesehen ist, die zwischen zwei benachbarten Aufnahmeöffnungen angeordnet ist und zumindest in Radialrichtung von innen nach außen verläuft. Das Vorsehen von derartigen Aussparungen ermöglicht, dass das Positionierungselement im Bereich der Aussparung eine geringere wirksame radial Höhe aufweist, auf die der Temperaturgradient wirkt, und die einen Einfluss auf die Dehnung des Positionierungselements hat. Wenn solche Aussparungen entlang des Umfangs an mehreren Stellen zwischen jeweiligen Aufnahmeöffnung vorgesehen sind, kann der Cording-Effekt beeinflusst werden, da die auftretenden Verformungen geringer sind, als bei einem durchgängigen Positionierungselement ohne Aussparungen. Die Aussparungen im Positionierungselement führen auch zu einer reduzierten Biegesteifigkeit des Positionierungselements. Neben den thermischen Effekten wird der Cording-Effikt auch durch das Verhältnis der Biegesteifigkeiten von Positionierungselement und Dichtungsträger beeinfluss. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Positionierungselement "weicher" bzw. weniger steif ist, weil hierdurch der Cording-Effekt geringer ist. Ferner kann bei einem weniger biegesteifen Positionierungselement ein steiferer Dichtungsträger dem Einschnüren des Positionierungselement entgegenwirken.For this purpose, it is proposed that at least one recess is provided in the base section, which is arranged between two adjacent receiving openings and extends at least in the radial direction from the inside outwards. The provision of such recesses enables the positioning element in the region of the recess to have a smaller effective radial height, to which the temperature gradient acts and which has an influence on the expansion of the positioning element. If such cutouts are provided along the circumference at a plurality of locations between the respective receiving openings, the cording effect can be influenced, since the deformations that occur are less than in the case of a continuous positioning element without cutouts. The recesses in the positioning element also lead to a reduced bending stiffness of the positioning element. In addition to the thermal effects, the cording effect is also influenced by the ratio of the bending stiffness of the positioning element and seal carrier. It is advantageous if the positioning element is "softer" or less stiff, because this reduces the cording effect. Furthermore, with a less rigid positioning element, a stiffer seal carrier can counteract the constriction of the positioning element.
Das Positionierungselement kann ringförmig ausgebildet sein und zwei halbkreisförmige Basisabschnitte aufweisen.The positioning element can have an annular design and two semicircular base sections.
Eine Reduzierung des Cording-Effekts und somit von Einschnürungen am Positionierungselement führt auch zu einer Reduzierung von lokalen Einläufen an einer Teilungsebene von den halbkreisförmig ausgebildeten Basisabschnitten. Durch geringere Einschnürungen können Spaltbildung und Leckagen vermieden, was einen positiven Einfluss auf den Wirkungsgrad und die Pumpgrenze hat, insbesondere weil Leckagen an den Dichtungselementen verringert werden können.A reduction in the cording effect and thus in constrictions on the positioning element also leads to a reduction in local inlets at a division level from the semicircular base sections. By reducing constrictions, the formation of gaps and leaks can be avoided, which has a positive influence on the efficiency and the surge limit, in particular because leaks on the sealing elements can be reduced.
Ferner kann durch die geringen Einläufe eine geringere Belastung bei den Dichtungselementen, insbesondere auch bei Rotordichtfins und ihrer Beschichtung erreicht werden. Dies führt zu einer verbesserten bzw. verlängerten Haltbarkeit, so dass der Reparatur- und Wartungsaufwand reduziert werden kann.Furthermore, due to the small inlets, a lower load on the sealing elements, in particular also on rotor sealing fins and their coating, can be achieved. this leads to to an improved or extended shelf life, so that the repair and maintenance effort can be reduced.
Der Kopplungsabschnitt kann wenigstens eine axial vordere Nut und eine axial hintere Nut umfassen, die am Basisabschnitt entlang der Umfangsrichtung verlaufen. Diese beiden umlaufenden Nuten dienen insbesondere dazu, einen Dichtungsträger mit dem Positionierungselement zu koppeln.The coupling portion may include at least one axially front groove and one axially rear groove that run along the circumferential direction at the base portion. These two circumferential grooves are used in particular to couple a seal carrier to the positioning element.
Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform können die axial vordere Nut und die axial hintere Nut in Radialrichtung im Wesentlichen den gleichen Abstand zu einer radialen Innenseite des Basisabschnitts aufweisen. Andres ausgedrückt, liegen die beiden Nuten auf etwa dem gleichen Niveau bzw. weisen von einer Maschinenachse im Wesentlichen den gleichen Abstand (Radius) auf.According to a first embodiment, the axially front groove and the axially rear groove can have essentially the same distance in the radial direction from a radial inside of the base section. In other words, the two grooves are at approximately the same level or are at substantially the same distance (radius) from a machine axis.
Bei der ersten Ausführungsform kann ferner die Aussparung in Axialrichtung zwischen zwei Aufnahmeöffnungen verlaufen und sich von einer axial vorderen Fläche des Basisabschnitts zu einer axial hinteren Fläche des Basisabschnitts erstrecken. Dabei kann die Aussparung als Schlitz im Basisabschnitt ausgebildet sein.In the first embodiment, the recess can also extend in the axial direction between two receiving openings and extend from an axially front surface of the base section to an axially rear surface of the base section. The recess can be designed as a slot in the base section.
Ferner kann bei der ersten Ausführungsform die Aussparung entlang der Axialrichtung eine sich ändernde radiale Höhe aufweisen oder eine gleichbleibende Höhe aufweisen. Weitern kann die Aussparung entlang der Axialrichtung eine sich ändernde Breite in Umfangsrichtung aufweisen oder eine gleichbleibende Breite aufweisen. Durch eine entsprechend Ausgestaltung bzw. Dimensionierung der Aussparungen bzw. des Schlitzes kann der Cording-Effekt gezielt beeinflusst werden, insbesondere auch unter der Berücksichtigung, dass sich der radiale Temperaturgradient auch über die axiale Länge ändert.Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the recess can have a changing radial height along the axial direction or have a constant height. Furthermore, the recess along the axial direction can have a changing width in the circumferential direction or have a constant width. The cording effect can be influenced in a targeted manner by an appropriate design or dimensioning of the cutouts or of the slot, in particular also taking into account that the radial temperature gradient also changes over the axial length.
Gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform kann die Aussparung in einem axial hinteren Bereich des Basisabschnitts in Umfangsrichtung verlaufen, derart dass von axial hinten im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgebildete Außenwandungen der Aufnahmeöffnungen sichtbar sind. Dabei kann die Aussparung in Axialrichtung durch einen axial vorderen Wandabschnitt begrenzt sein. Es ergibt sich somit eine in einem axial hinteren Bereich durchgehende Ausnehmung, die sich in Axialrichtung nach vorne zwischen den Aufnahmeöffnungen erstreckt und an dem axial vorderen Wandabschnitt endet.According to a second embodiment, the cutout can run in the circumferential direction in an axially rear region of the base section, such that outer walls of the receiving openings which are essentially cylindrical are visible from the axially rear. The recess can be limited in the axial direction by an axially front wall section. The result is a continuous recess in an axially rear region, which extends forward in the axial direction between the receiving openings and ends at the axially front wall section.
Bei der zweiten Ausführungsform können die axial vordere Nut und die axial hintere Nut einen unterschiedlichen Abstand zu einer radialen Innenseite des Basisabschnitts aufweisen.In the second embodiment, the axially front groove and the axially rear groove can have a different distance from a radial inside of the base section.
Das Positionierungselement der zweiten Ausführungsform kann mittels eines additiven Herstellungsverfahrens, insbesondere mittels selektivem Laserschmelzen hergestellt sein.The positioning element of the second embodiment can be produced by means of an additive manufacturing method, in particular by means of selective laser melting.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner auch einen Dichtungsträger für eine Dichtungsanordnung mit einem in Umfangsrichtung gekrümmten Grundabschnitt, an dem radial innen ein Dichtungselement vorgesehen ist; einem Gegenkopplungsabschnitt der mit einem Kopplungsabschnitt eines Positionierungselements koppelbar oder gekoppelt ist, wobei der Gegenkopplungsabschnitt eine axial vorderen Federabschnitt und einen axial hinteren Federabschnitt aufweist, die mit entsprechenden Nuten des Kopplungsabschnitts des Positionierungselements einführbar oder eingeführt sind. Dabei wird vorgeschlagen, dass der axial vordere Federabschnitt und der axial hintere Federabschnitt einen unterschiedlichen Abstand zu einer radialen Innenseite des Grundabschnitts aufweisen. Ein derartiger Dichtungsträger eignet sich insbesondere zur Kopplung an einem Positionierungselement der zweiten Ausführungsform.The invention also relates to a seal carrier for a seal arrangement with a base section which is curved in the circumferential direction and on which a sealing element is provided radially on the inside; a counter-coupling section which can be coupled or coupled to a coupling section of a positioning element, the counter-coupling section having an axially front spring section and an axially rear spring section which can be inserted or introduced with corresponding grooves in the coupling section of the positioning element. It is proposed that the axially front spring section and the axially rear spring section have a different distance from a radial inside of the base section. Such a seal carrier is particularly suitable for coupling to a positioning element of the second embodiment.
Die Federabschnitte können an einer axial vorderen Trägerwand und an einer axial hinteren Trägerwand angebracht sein, derart, dass die beiden Federabschnitte in Axialrichtung einander zugewandt sind.The spring sections can be attached to an axially front support wall and to an axially rear support wall, such that the two spring sections face each other in the axial direction.
Der Grundabschnitt kann radial außen einen bezogen auf die Axialrichtung und die Radialrichtung geneigten Deckabschnitt aufweisen. Ein derartiger, geneigter Deckabschnitt dient insbesondere dazu in einem gekoppelten Zustand am Positionierungselement die Aussparung abzudecken.The base section can have a cover section which is inclined radially on the outside in relation to the axial direction and the radial direction. Such an inclined cover section serves in particular in a coupled state to cover the recess on the positioning element.
Im Grundabschnitt, insbesondere in dessen Deckabschnitt können in Umfangsrichtung mehrere Öffnungen nebeneinander vorgesehen sein.In the base section, in particular in its cover section, a plurality of openings can be provided next to one another in the circumferential direction.
Schließlich betrifft die Erfindung auch eine Leitschaufelträgeranordnung für eine Gasturbine, insbesondere Fluggasturbine, mit wenigstens einem Positionierungselement gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform und wenigstens einem zugehörigen Dichtungsträger oder mit wenigstens einem Positionierungselement gemäß der zweiten Ausführungsform und wenigstens einem oben beschriebenen Dichtungsträger.Finally, the invention also relates to a guide vane carrier arrangement for a gas turbine, in particular an aircraft gas turbine, with at least one positioning element according to the first embodiment and at least one associated seal carrier or with at least one positioning element according to the second embodiment and at least one seal carrier described above.

Der Basisabschnitt weist ebenfalls einen Kopplungsabschnitt 118 auf, der eine axial vordere Nut 122 und eine axial hintere Nut 124 aufweist. Im Gegensatz zur ersten Ausführungsform ist die axial hintere Nut 124 radial außen am Basisabschnitt 112 angeordnet. Diese veränderte Anordnung der axial hinteren Nut 124 ist bedingt durch die größeren Aussparungen 116 und radial innen fehlendes Material, an dem eine axial hintere Nut wie bei der ersten Ausführungsform ausgebildet werden könnte. Die axial hintere Nut 124 befindet sich bezogen auf eine Maschinenachse der Gasturbine radial weiter außen als die axial vordere Nut 122. Die Aussparungen 116 sind axial vorne durch einen axial vorderen Wandabschnitt 117 begrenzt. Dabei bildet der axial vordere Wandabschnitt 117 auch die Rückseite bzw. abgewandte Seite eines Nutgrunds der axial vorderen Nut 122.The base section also has a

Der Abdeckabschnitt 140 dient insbesondere dazu, Die Herstellbarkeit mittels selektivem Laserschmelzen zu ermöglichen. Im geneigten Abdeckabschnitt 140 sind mehrere Öffnungen 142 vorgesehen. Diese Öffnungen 142 dienen ebenfalls der Herstellbarkeit mittels selektivem Laserschmelzen. Damit ist der der Dichtungsträger 130 hinsichtlich seiner Formgebung so ausgestaltet, dass er mittels eines additiven Herstellungsverfahrens, insbesondere mittels selektivem Laserschmelzen, hergestellt werden kann.The
Beiden Ausführungsformen ist gemeinsam, dass im Basisabschnitt 12, 112 Aussparungen 16, 116 vorgesehen sind, die dazu dienen, den Cording-Effekt an den Positionierungselement 10, 110 zu reduzieren. Dabei wirken die Aussparungen insbesondere dazu, Unterbrechungen bereitzustellen, so dass ein radialer Temperaturgradient nicht entlang des gesamten Umfangs des Positionierungselements 10, 110 seine volle Wirkung entfalten kann. Ferner dienen die Aussparungen dazu, die Biegesteifigkeit des Positionierungselements zu verringern, was ebenfalls den Cording-Effekt reduziert.Both embodiments have in common that recesses 16, 116 are provided in the
