Definitions

  • the invention refers to an arrangement comprising a first blade and a second blade which is arranged adjacent to the first blade.
  • turbomachines Compressors, gas turbines or steam turbines, for example, are to be understood by turbomachines in the sense of this application.
  • the aforesaid turbomachines have in common the fact that they comprise a casing and a rotor which is rotatably mounted in the casing, wherein a flow passage, through which flows a flow medium, is formed between the rotor and the casing.
  • the flow medium is steam in steam turbines.
  • a further problem of vibration excitations is that the rotor blades execute vibrations as a consequence of the vibration excitations, which vibrations lead to material fatigue both of the turbine blade and of the rotor steeple in which the turbine blade is arranged. It would be desirable to achieve a reduction of the vibration amplitudes, which leads to a reduction of the material stress.
  • nodal diameter vibrations develop. These nodal diameter vibrations are characterized in that the amplitudes of the vibrations have a sinusoidal shape over the circumference of the blades.
  • adjacent blades are modified in such a way that a sub-quantity of the blades is provided with a coupling element which is fixedly connected to the blade.
  • This coupling element is designed in such a way that it extends as far as the next neighboring blade, or even as far as the next but one neighboring blade, but is not fixedly connected to the adjacent blade.
  • a blade in the arrangement executes a vibration
  • the blade moves together with the fixedly connected bar.
  • the adjacent blade which is not fixedly connected to the coupling element, presses this—as a result of the centrifugal force which occurs during operation—against the blade, as a result of which a frictional contact is carried out, wherein energy dissipation is carried out as a result of friction, and consequently vibration energy disappears, as a result of which the disturbing vibration is damped.
  • the first blade has a first blade tip and the second blade has a second blade tip, wherein the coupling element is arranged in the region of the first and second blade tips.
  • the damping device is arranged in the blade tip.
  • the coupling element is therefore advantageously arranged in the region of the first and second blade tips. The amplitudes of the disturbing vibrations are greatest there and are therefore damped the most effectively.
  • the first blade tip has a first shroud, wherein the coupling element is fixedly arranged in the first shroud.
  • a coupling element which is basically an external element
  • the shrouds are arranged at the blade tips and have a construction which is comparatively large in relation to the overall blade.
  • the coupling element is fixedly arranged in this shroud.
  • the second blade tip which is associated with the adjacent blade, has a second shroud, wherein the coupling element is arranged in the second shroud.
  • the coupling element is arranged loosely in the second shroud, i.e. not fixedly connected to the second shroud.
  • the second shroud in this case is arranged in such a way that a centrifugal force which occurs during operation leads to the coupling element being pressed against the second shroud. This means that the coupling element rubs in the second shroud in the event of an occurring vibration. Consequently, energy dissipation takes place, as a result of which the vibration is damped.
  • the first shroud and the second shroud have in each case a slot in which the coupling element is arranged.
  • a slot a comparatively simple solution which is favorable to production engineering can be made available in order to effectively arrange the coupling element in the shroud.
  • the slot is arranged at the side in the first shroud and in the second shroud. As a result of the side arrangement, it is possible to easily remove the coupling element during maintenance operations.
  • the coupling element is of a longish and narrow design.
  • the effective damping of the blade vibrations depends essentially upon the shape and the material of the coupling element. The longer the coupling element is, the greater are also the vibration amplitudes of the tip of the coupling element. The longer the coupling element is, the greater are therefore the vibration amplitudes at the tip.
  • the material should be selected in such a way that it can be connected to the blade as rigidly and fixedly as possible, wherein the strength values of the coupling element should be such that the coupling element itself is hardly able to execute separate vibrations.
  • the coupling element is constructed as a plate.
  • the plate advantageously has a rectangular shape, as seen in cross section, with a width L and a height H, wherein it is necessary that L is greater than H and that the coupling element is arranged in the shroud in such a way that the surface with the width L butts against the shroud during operation.
  • the coupling element therefore has the shape of a flat knife blade.
  • the coupling element is comparatively easily bendable in a radial direction, i.e. in the direction in which the centrifugal forces prevail, which leads to the coupling element being able to be easily pressed against the other shroud.
  • bending in the axial direction i.e. perpendicularly to the centrifugal force direction is hardly possible. This means that vibration of the blade, on which the coupling element is fixedly arranged, entrains sufficiently well. As a result, effective damping is possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail of an arrangement as seen in the radial direction, looking onto the shrouds
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail of two adjacent shrouds
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a shroud.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail of an arrangement in the radial direction, i.e. the radial direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the arrangement comprises a first blade 1 and a second blade 2 which is arranged adjacent to the first blade 1 .
  • the first blade 1 and the second blade 2 are fixedly arranged via rotor steeples on a rotor, which is not shown in more detail.
  • the rotor rotates around a rotational axis 3 .
  • the first blade 1 and the second blade 2 are of a longish design in the radial direction and are exposed to inflow during operation by a flow medium, which is not shown in more detail, wherein the first blade 1 and the second blade 2 execute a rotation in a rotational direction 4 .
  • the first blade 1 is arranged adjacent to the second blade 2 .
  • the first blade 1 comprises a coupling element 5 which is fixedly connected to the first blade 1 in a way which is not shown in more detail.
  • the coupling element 5 can be fixedly connected to the first blade 1 by means of screw-fastening, riveting or soldering, for example.
  • a vibration 6 of the first blade 1 leads to a vibration of the tip 7 of the coupling element. This also leads to a harmonic vibration 8 of the tip 7 of the coupling element. It is necessary to minimize this harmonic vibration 8 , which is carried out by the coupling element 5 butting against the second blade 2 .
  • the coupling element 5 is arranged in a blade tip of the first blade 1 and in a blade tip of the second blade 2 , which is not shown in more detail in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a shroud 10 of the first or second blade 1 or 2 .
  • the shroud 10 in this case is arranged at the blade tip of the first blade 1 and of the second blade 2 .
  • the shroud 10 has slots 11 in which the coupling element 5 is arranged.
  • the coupling element 5 In the case of the first blade 1 , the coupling element 5 is fixedly arranged in the slot 11 .
  • the coupling element 5 In the case of the second blade 2 , the coupling element 5 is only loosely arranged in the slot 11 .
  • a centrifugal force which occurs during operation acts in the centrifugal force direction 12 which is identical to the radial direction.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative representation of a part of an arrangement.
  • the first blade 1 has a first shroud 13 and the blade 2 has a second shroud 14 .
  • the shrouds are arranged at the blade tip of the first blade 1 and of the second blade 2 .
  • the coupling element 5 is arranged at the side in the first shroud 13 and also in the second shroud 14 .
  • the coupling element 5 is of a longish and narrow design and constructed as a plate.
  • the coupling element 5 has a rectangular shape, as seen in cross section, with a width L and a height H.
  • the height H is essentially identical to the height H of the slot 11 .
  • At least the height H of the plate 5 should be slightly smaller than the height H of the slot 11 .
  • the coupling element 5 is fixedly connected to the first shroud 13 , which can be carried out by means of a screw fastening, for example.
  • screws which fixedly connect the coupling element 5 to the first blade 1 are used.
  • Screwed connections 15 , 16 result from this.
  • the screwed connection 15 , 16 may be oriented in the axial direction 17 , for example.
  • the screwed connection 15 , 16 can naturally also be carried out in the radial direction 18 .
