Description

. vane or discharge sections 3 are adjustable about the axes of the pivots 4, 5 and rela'- tivel to the'corresponding surfaces of the fix vane sections 2. While the turbine is operating normally, the waterjis being delivered against the pressure surfaces 24 in a well known manner, and the. suction surfaces '25am exposed to an under preure or suction created by the water flowing through the draft tube. If it is desired to veg thedischarge angle of the rotor, the sha 11 may be rotated l relatively to the shaft 1-3, either while the turbine is ino ration or while it is at rest in any desirab e manner. Rotation of the shaft 11 causes the block 10 to move longitudinally of the adjustin shaftby. virtue of the screw threads 12, t ereby and causes all ofthe movable vane sections 3 to simultaneously swing about the axes of the pivots 4, 5 in an obvious manner. Durin such ad- `associated with said 'ustment of the vane sections 3, e thrust arings 17, 18 positively revent lon 'tudinal displacement of the s aft 11 whi e permitting free rotation thereof. After adjustment has been effected, the screw threads 12 positively lock the movable vane sections 3 inadjusted position. The chamber within the rotor hub may be filled with grease orv other lubricant thereby assuring abundant lubrication of the bearing surfaces. The entire rotor may be uickly dismantled by re-V moval of the clamping bolts 14 and the outer pivots 4 insure maximum rigidity of the structure. These outer pivots 4, furthermore permit reduction of the diameter of the inner pivots 5 and of the hub, to a minimum, thereby providing a relatively compact rotor structure.
It should be understood that it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact details of construction and operation herein shown and described, for various modications within the scope of the claims may occur to persons skilled in the art.
