United States Patent() AIR COOLED TURBOMACHINE BLADING Bert E. Sells, Hamilton, Ohio, and Francis D. Doherty,
Winchester, Mass., assignors to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York Application April 8, 1953, Serial No. 347,426
7 Claims. (Cl. 253--39.15)
This invention relates generally to turbomachine structures using high temperature elastic uid and specifically to means for cooling the blading used in structures such as gas turbines and the like.
High speeds produce centrifugal stresses in rotor blading which can be reduced somewhat by the use of sheet metal fabricated into proper blading form. Moreover, turbomachine operation at temperatures of 1500 F. and above may result in blading failures due to decreased strength of material with temperature rise, which can be alleviated somewhat by resort to blading cooling to permit raising the maximum allowable operating temperature. By using thin wall sections, it is possible to obtain a more uniform temperature distribution from the inner to the outer wall surfaces, with less internal stressing and warping of blading walls, as well as achieving economy in the use of high temperature steel alloys; but difliculty has arisen in securing hollow blading to the turbine rotor disk.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved turbomachine blading structure.
lt is another object of this invention to provide more effective turbomachine blading capable of sustained operation at high temperatures.
A further object of this invention is to provide an improved cooling arrangement for blading subjected to high temperature gases.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. l is a cross sectional view of a portion of a rotor body provided with a Vpreferred embodiment of our blading;
Fig. 2 is a cross section through the blading taken in the plane of line 2-2 in Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is an end view of a preferred embodiment of our blading as shown in Figure 1; and
Fig. 4 is an isometric view of the base portion of our improved blading element.
In accordance with the objects of invention, our novel structure is a fabricated blading member, having reinforcing and dampening portions defining chambers for the conduction of a cooling medium, fastened to a base in such a manner as to reduce the possibility of fatigue failures.
Referring to the drawing, a portion of the rotor body is disclosed at 10, comprising the rotor disk 11, one of a plurality of blade members 12, and cooling channeldefining flanged member 13 having a rabbet 13b, secured to disk 11 therealong by means such as screw bolts, one of which is indicated at 14.
The blade ymember 12 comprises a base root portion 15 having means for fastening to a rotor disk, here shown at 15a as a conventional fir-tree configuration, although any other means for fastening blading could be used. Base member 15 also has a cutout portion at 15b, which with 2,848,193 'PatentedAug 19, 1958 a 'similar cutout portion 11a in rotor disk 11, defines a cooling channel therewith, indicated as 11b.
Projecting from the base member 15 is a partialbase portion 16,v shaped to the basic contour of the completed blading member and having a recessed projection 16a at its top defined by fillet 16b. Projection 16a has slits 17v positioned at an angle to the plane of rotation of the 'disk as viewed in Figure 1. The slits 17 are spaced inwardly from the opposite edges for a purpose to be described below, and also the projection 16a has a central hollow portion 16C, defined by thin walls, in communication with the cutout portion 15b by way of perforations or slots 15e.
The upper blade member is indicated generally at '2 0 and comprises front and back blade sections l2l. and 22 respctively, and dividing partitions 23a and 23h joined respectively thereto, defining localized cooling chambers or passageways 24, 25 and 26. The alternate radially extending edges of the partitions are secured to the front and rear blade sections with the other radially extending edges of the partition being in contact with the blade sections 21 and 22. The partition 23a has a freeedge engaging the back section 22,. and the partition 23]; has a free edge engaging the front section 21. The upper blade member 20 can be formed from a single piece of tapered sheet stock and welded along one edge as indicated at 22a in Fig. 3; or it can be made of two formed or forged pieces and then welded together along the leading and trailing edges. When completed, the upper blade member is fastened to the base member at the fillet 16b, as indicated by the welding at 30 (Fig. 2), the hollow recessed projection 16a extending into the bottom of the upper blade member and the bottoms 'of the partitions 23a and 23b extending intothe slits 17 and fastened therein, as by brazing or welding'. YThe slits 17 and partitions 23a and 23b are positioned at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the projection 16a 'and upper blade member 20. All the fastening by welding in the completed blade member 20 occurs in zones ofequ'al material thickness so that little or no detrimental effect results from the welding heat. Furthermore, theprojection of the blade root portion of the base above the weld zone will reduce bending stresses at the weld and will tend to reduce the possibility of fatigue failure.
I'n addition, the longitudinally extending radial ,partitions lie out of the plane of rotation of disk 11 as viewed in Figure 1 so that when fastened as indicated and the blade member is put under centrifugal load, the bending of the partitions will press against the front or rear blade section, as the case may be, to dampen out blade vibration and prevent breathing or oil canning of the blade member.
The localized cooling chambers 24, 25 and 26 are in communication with main cooling channel 13a, supplied from an appropriate source (not shown) by way of passages llc, 11b, and 15C.
Thus it will be seen that our invention provides a means for cooling turbomachine blading, and because of the particular mounting of the upper blade portion to the base member, blading which can expand in a radial direction with lessened chances of fatigue failure and decrease in its vibration.
While a particular embodiment of our invention has been illustrated and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that come within the true scope of the invention.
