Definitions

  • This invention relates to the mounting of the blades in the outer bladed structure of axial flow compressors, turbines and the like and while its application is not necessarily limited thereto it can be regarded as being concerned primarily with the mounting of fixed stator blading in axial flow multistage compressors, turbines, and ducted fans.
  • the blades should be mounted in a mechanically effective manner while being if possible individually removable. It is also desirable that they should be mounted in such a way that constructional considerations in relation to the machine as a whole are conveniently dealt with, notably the insertion and supporting of the blade in a casing. Further the blade mounting should preferably be such as to leave or provide as smooth and uninterrupted a surface as possible exposed to the fluid flow in the blade passages.
  • the present invention in its different aspects, seeks to provide for these various requirements and is intended to have immediate application to a multistage axial flow compressor to form part of a gas turbine power plant for aircraft propulsion although the invention is of course not limited to such application.
  • an outer bladed structure of an axial flow compressor turbine or the like comprising a circular section hollow blade supporting structure coaxial with the axis of rotation of the machine having on its radially inner surface at least one annularly directed groove alfording a non-retentive bladeseating, and a ring of radially inwardly extending blades or groups of blades having at their radially outer ends root platforms seating in said groove, of which ring of blades alternate blade platforms only are directly attached to the blade supporting structure, and these platforms have with the platforms of intervening blade platforms complementary interengagement whereby said intervening platforms are secured in the seating groove of the ring.
  • the ungrooved surface of the blade supporting structure is arranged to be in axial register with the exposed faces of the root platforms in the grooves so that the general profile of the fluid passages between the blades has a smooth continuous contour.
  • the blade platforms are of T shape in peripheral cross section, alternate platforms being inverted with respect to those adjacent to interlock thereunder, and the latter alone being directly attached to the supporting structure.
  • those platforms which are secured directly to the supporting structure are so secured by the provision of radially outwardly extending shanks thereon passing through the supporting structure and locked at an outer part thereof, while the tails of those Tplatforms which are secured directly to the supporting structure have a clearance from the floor of groove to ensure that when so secured they will clamp the cross members of the intermediate, inverted T-platforrns, in position against the floor of the groove.
  • Figure 1 is a part longitudinal section of a complete axial flow compressor having a stator construction in accordance with the invention
  • Figure 2 is a fragmentary peripheral transverse section of the compressor illustrated in Figure 1
  • Figures 3 and 4 are fragmentary axial sections of the compressor taken on the lines III--III and IV-IV respectively in Figure 2.
  • the compressor comprises a multistage bladed rotor 1 operating in an outer casing 2 consituting the main supporting structure for a number of rows of stator blades 3.
  • the latter are provided with integral shallow root platforms 4 suitably curved in the peripheral sense to suit the diameter at which they are placed, these platforms being seated in shallow grooves 5 formed in the inner face of the casing 2.
  • the blade platforms are made to correspond in depth with the shallow grooves so that the inner exposed surfaces of the platform and the ungrooved surface portions of the rings are in axial alignment to afford a general profile for the fluid passages between the blades having a smooth continuous contour.
  • each blade platform is of T-shape in transverse section taken on a plane normal to the axis of the casing 2, the tails 4c of alternate: platforms 4a extending into the groove 5 in which they are seated and having integral therewith the shanks 15 of securing bolts which pass through holes formed in the casing 2 and are held by nuts 16.
  • the intermediate T-shaped platforms dd are inverted with respect to the groove and their tails 4 are directed radially outwardly and their crossmembers or heads 42, which lie on the floor 5a of the groove 5, engage under the crossmembers or heads 41) of the bolted platforms 4m It is arranged that the tails 4c of the latter have a clearance from the floor of the groove to ensure that the crossmembers or heads 4e of the platforms 4d will be clamped in position in engagement with the floor 5a of the groove by the crossmernbers or heads 4b of the platforms 4a, this being the only means provided of anchoring the former in the groove.
  • the casing 2 is made in two halves 2a, 2b flanged at 20, 2d for bolting together as indicated in Figure 2 it being arranged that the last blades 3a in each half are blades which are bolted directly to the casing.
  • an outer bladed structure comprising a hollow tubular casing of circular cross-section, said casing being formed with a circumferentially extending groove in its radially inner surface; a circumferentially extending row of radially inwardly extending blades within said casing, each blade having at its radially outer end an individual root platform located in said groove; means securing circumferentially alternate platforms to said casing; and means retaining the intermediate platforms located between said alternate platforms against radially inward displacement, said means comprising complementary inter-engaging portions formed on said alternate and intermediate platforms, the portions on said alternate platforms overlapping in a radial sense and lying radially within the portions on the intermediate platforms.
  • an outer bladed structure comprising a hollow tubular casing of circular cross-section, said casing being formed with a circumferentially extending'groove in its radiallyinner surface; a circumferentially extending row of radially inwardly extending blades within said casing, each blade having at its radially outer end an individual root platform located in said groove; each platform being T-shaped in transverse cross section taken on a plane normal to the axisof the casing, and having a head extending circumferentially of the groove and a tail extending radially; circumferentially alternate platforms having the tails of the T directed radially outwardly, andeach intermediate platform located between the adjacent platforms having the tail of the T directed radially inwardly and the head of 15 the T seating on the floor of the groove and overlapping and engaging in a radial sense and lying radially outwardly of the heads of the Ts of the alternate platforms on each side thereof; and means securing said alternate
