Claims priority, application Germany October 1, 1948 7 Claims.
elongations of the ceramic material and of the steel are designed as oppositely directed double wedge surfaces whose planes intersect in a concentric-line.
As is well known, the rule of the coinciding wedge surface applies with theoretical accuracy only in case of a certain course of the temperature field. The deviations from these theoretical conditions, caused, e. g., by the inaccuracies involved in determining the heat transmission at the contact surfaces of ceramic material and steel or by the heating and'cooling phenomena during the start and the stoppage and as a result of any changes of the operating conditions of the turbine cannot be considered in the computation with such an accuracy that no additional constraining forces would be produced. V
It is the object ofthe present invention to provide means by which such constraining forcesca-n be avoided irrespectiveof the unavoidable inaccuracies of the computation.
With this object in view according to the present invention the'outer contact surfaces are designed in a way to permit elasticldeformation so that said surfaces act like plate springs following the changes caused in the blade seat under action of the centrifugal force or different heat elongations and thereby maintaining always a reliableseat of the root of the blade.
Since the ceramic material is very sensitive to vibrations, there should be no play between the pairs of wedge surfaces and the root of the blade. On the other hand, in order to introduce the root of the blade into the closed annular groove through the leading-in gap, a larger play will be required between the seating surfaces in the direction of the axis of the blade, so as to avoid jamming, canting or even damages of the blades by the assembling.
In order to reconcile these two contradicting requirements, according to a further feature of the invention-one of the outer wedge-shaped seating surfaces of the steel rotor is detachably mounted on the rim of the rotor and secured thereto only after the blades have been introduced into the rimof the rotor.
The invention will be better understood by reference to the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawing showing by way of example and purely schematically one embodiment of the invention, in a fragmentary axial section through the rim of the rotor.
Referring now to the drawing, it will be seen that the root 2 of a ceramic rotor blade I is seated in a closed annular groove 3 of a steel rotor 4. The root of the blade and the annular groove are provided with double- cone seating surfaces 5a, 5b, or 6a, @b, respectively, whose generatrices intersect in a common point 0 or, strictly speaking, in a concentric line 0. The left hand outer counterseating surface 6a is formed as a thin-walled, elastically deformable or resilient annular extension '5 of the rim of the rotor while the corresponding opposite counterseating surface 6a at the right hand side consists of a separate ring I 0 yielding elastically in operation and being secured to the rotor rim after the introduction of the blades, e. g., bywelding.
After the blades have been engaged in the annular groove, which operation is substantially facilitated by the fact that the gap at the right hand upper corner of the annular groove for the blades is still open at that time, this gap is closed by applying the ring I 3, whose conical seating surface ta tightly engages the companion outer seating surface 61) of the root of the blade. Since the two outer seating surfaces 6a of the rotor are elastically deformable, they are enabled to compensate potential thermal constraining forces and to ensure a tight fit without play of the root of the blade by utilizing the centrifugal effects and thermal deformations of their carrier elements.
While the invention has been described in detail with respect to certain now preferred examples and embodiments of the invention it will be understood by those skilled in the art after understanding the invention, that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and it isintended therefore, to cover all such changes and modifications in the appended claims:
