PRESTRESSED COMPRESSOR BLADE Filed May 5, 1954 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. ELMER P mam/(EN BY United States. arent f PRESTRESSED COMPRESSOR BLADE Elmer P. Warnken, Cincinnati, Ohio, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Studebaker-Packard Corporation, South Bend, Ind., acorporation of Michigan Application May 5, 1954, Serial No. 427,739 Claims. (Cl. 253-77) This invention relates to turbine compressor blades. The blades of this invention represent an improvement over the blades shown in my co-pending application, Serial Number 314,698 filed October 14, 1952.
An object of this invention is to provide a prestressed resin-impregnated laminated rotor blade having a main molded impeller or vane portion and a thickened portion at one end thereof by means of which the blade may be mounted in place on the rotor of an air compressor or the like.
A further object ofthis invention is to provide a blade having laminations extending lengthwise of the blade, which laminations are prestressed in tension to a sufficient degree to stress the resin of the blade in compression after molding is completed and the prestress is released, so that, when the blade is in use in a compressor the resin is maintained in compression.
A further object of this invention is to provide a blade having laminations which extend lengthwise thereof, the laminations being divided at one end of the blade into a V-shape to provide for thickening of that end of the blade.
The above and other objects and features of the invention will in part be apparent and will in part be obvious to those having ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains, from the following detailed description, and the drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a compressor blade constructed in accordance with an embodiment of this invention with a root-holding member being shown mounted on the blade, a portion of the root-holding member being broken away for clarity;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the blade in the form assumed when removed from a mold and before excess material and flash are trimmed therefrom;
Fig. 3 is a view partly in side elevation and partly in section, showing a machine for molding the blade, laminations being shown in place and prestressed prior to the molding of the laminations;
Fig. 4 is a view in section taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 3; and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view partly in side elevation and partly in section showing the molding machine with another set of laminations in place with part of the laminations being prestressed.
In Figure 1 of the drawing, a rotor blade 9 for an axial flow air compressor is shown. Blade 9 includes an impeller section 10 and a thickened end or root portion 11 on which is mounted a member 13 by means of which the blade may be mounted on and secured to the rotor of the air compressor.
The impeller section 10 and the root portion 11 are formed from a plurality of superimposed layers of glass fabric or glass fibre rovings 14 (see Fig. 3), or the like, which are impregnated with a thermosetting resin. At the root end of the blade, the layers are separated by a cross piece 15 composed of a plurality of superimposed r' 2,934,317 Patented Apr. 26, 19%0 2 layers. of glass fabric impregnated with the same thermosetting resin as layers 14.
Elongated layers 14 are held in a prestressed or tensioned condition by tension springs 16 and 17 and by suitable clamps 1S and 19 attached to the springs. As shown in Fig. 3, the clamp 19 grips the right hand ends of the layers 14. The left hand ends of the layers 14 extend along the sides of a floating die member 21 and are clamped against the sides of the die member 21 by the clamp 18. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the clamp 18 includes two U-shaped members 21a hinged together by pivots 21b. Links 210 connect the pivots 21b to a cross member 21d to which one end of spring 16 is attached so that the spring causes the U-shaped members 21a to firmly grip the left hand ends of the elongated layers 14.
The elongated layers or laminations 14 and the cross piece 15 are molded between dies 22 and 23 of a molding machine indicated generally at 24 in Fig. 3. The lower die 22 is stationary while the upper die 23 is movable. The dies 22 and 23have co-operating opposed molding faces 25 and 26 which mold the impeller section of the blade to an airfoil configuration. As shown, the left hand ends of the dies 22 and 23 terminate in diverging faces 27 and 28 which are opposed to and co-operate with faces 29 and 31 of the floating die member 21.
The upper die 23 is mounted on a plate or platen 33 having openings 34 in the corners thereof. The openings 34 receive pins 36 which guide the upper die. The upper die and the platen 33 are mounted on an hydraulic plunger 3'], and the plunger 37 may be urged downwardly by any appropriate mechanism, not shown, to bring the upper die toward the lower die.
The floating die member 21 is mounted to move up and down along a post 38 which guides the floating die. The post 38 and the floating die 21 are connected together by a dove tail 39 and a dove tail slot 41, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the floating member can move up and down along the post. A compression spring 42 (Fig. 3) normally holds the floating die member spaced above the stationary die 21 when not in use.
Before the mold is closed, the tension of the springs is so adjusted as to provide a tensile load on the fibres of the blade, such that, when the blade is completed and in use, the centrifugal load will not sufficiently dissipate the prestress compression to cause failure of the resin of the blade by exceeding its tensile strength. The prestress compression preferably is so adjusted that the centrifugal load is less than the initial tension imposed on the fibres. Therefore, the resin of the blade will be held in compression during use. For a blade four (4) inches long and having a cross-sectional area of one-quarter A) of a square inch for use in a rotor having a tip diameter of thirty-five (35) inches and a rotational rate of eight' thousand (8,000) r.p.m., the prestress tensile load may be approximately one thousand fifty (1050) pounds.
When the blade is removed from the molding machine of Fig. 3, it is in the condition indicated in Fig. 2 in which condition it includes an edging of excess material or flash 44 extending outwardly from the blade 9. This flash is trimmed off to form the finished blade of Fig. 1.
In Fig. 5, the molding machine 24 is shown with elongated prestressed core laminations 46, which are held by the clamps 18 and 19, and facing laminations 51 on the upper and lower sides of the prestressed laminations. The facing laminations are preferably resin-impregnated glass fabric laminations, while the core laminations may be resin-impregnated fabric or resin-impregnated rovings of glass fibers. The facing laminations terminate short of the clamp so that, when the laminations are molded into a blade, the facing laminations are not prestressed. When the blade formed from the laminations shown in Fig. is completed and removed from the molding machine, the prestress is released, and the facing laminations are stressed and maintained in compression, and the resin of the blade is also stressed in compression.
,, The blades described above and illustrated in the drawing are subject to structural modification Without departing from the spirit and scope of the appendec claims.
