Abstract

877,708. Turbines. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Nov. 2, 1959 [Nov. 3, 1958], No. 37093/59. Class 110 (3). A bladed turbine rotor comprises rotor wheels to which blades are attached by blade roots lodged in undercut slots in the wheel rim, and spacer discs alternating with the wheels, each disc carrying on a channel-section rim a separate spacer ring having two radiallyinward flanges with projections which lodge in undercut slots in the respective walls of the channel-section rim. The rotor shown comprises a coaxial arrangement of rotor wheels 68, 70 and 72 with respective hub portions 82, 84 and 86 and spacer discs 92, 94 secured to a flange 88 on the turbine shaft 30 by bolts 90. The turbine blades 78 have roots 74 shaped to engage fir tree or under-cut slots 76 in the peripheries of the turbine wheels. The spacer discs 92, 94 are of channel-section at their peripheries. Fir tree or similar slots corresponding in number and dimension to those in the turbine wheels are formed in the peripheries of the discs 92, 94. Into each of the undercut slots is fitted a projection machined in radially inwardly-extending flanges 100 on a spacer ring 102. The ring 102 also has radially outwardly-extending flanges 104 and 106. A labyrinth seal assembly 120 has a rotating member 118 bolted to the first stage turbine wheel and bearing against a flange 126 on the blade platforms 80. The subsequent assembly of alternately spacer rings 102 and turbine blades 78 results in a series of abutments of flanges 104 and 106 with edges 108 and 110 of platforms 80. Axial movement in an upstream direction of turbine blades 78 and spacer rings 102 is prevented by tangs 112 and 113 and tangs 114 respectively. Axial movement in a downstream direction is prevented by a snap ring 134 securing together the tangs 113 on turbine blade 78 and a flange 132 on the third stage turbine wheel 72. The fixed member 122 of labyrinth seal assembly 120 is bolted to an annular bulkhead 64 and an annular stepped member 66 which are themselves joined to the main engine structure. The turbine outer casing is in three flanged portions 32, 34, 36 secured together by bolts 44. Shroud rings 46, 60 are secured to the section 32 by dowels 62. Further shroud rings 48, 50 are supported by external flanges in the casing sections 34, 36. Stator blades 52, fixed to stator shroud rings 46, 48, 50, have at their radially innermost ends circumferential ribs which co-operate with spacer rings 102 to form labyrinth seals.
