ADJUSTABLE BLADING FOR FLUID FLOW MACHINES Filed NOV. 25, 1955 INVENTOR.
BY @04 l United States Warren William l lougli toli; Manchester, Mass., assignor to Genera] Electric Company, a corporation of New York '3 Filed Nov. 25, 1955, "set. No. 548392 scams. c1. 2ss-ss machine is desired which will operate over a large range of operating refinement; it is highly nes'ifame that the effective flowiarea of thenozzle diaphragm in the case of a turbine, or difluser assembly in the case of a compressor, ,be adjustable in order "to minimize losses. conventional manner for providing the desired adjustable effective flow area feature has been to provide a nozzle ring or diffuser assembly in which the nozzle or difiuser vanes are pivotally mounted for rotation through a limited arc to vary continuously the effective area between them. In a design of this type it is important that the pivot point for each blade be located near the center of the blade so that the aerodynamic torque exerted on each blade by the fluid flowing across its surface to minimize the force required to control the assembly. However, when a blade is thus centrally pivoted without further provision, it is subject to the criticism that as it is rotated, the clearance between the edge of the vane and the adjacent rotor of the machine varies considerably. From an aerodynamic standpoint, both in compressor and turbine design, it is important that this clearance be kept as small as possible at all times. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an adjustable blade which provides a reduced variation in clearance between an edge of the blade and an adjacent rotor.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved adjustable blade assembly in which the individual blades are pivoted centrally to minimize aerodynamic torque thereon with means to maintain a small and constant clearance between an edge of the blade and an adacent rotor.
Briefly, these and other objects of the invention are accomplished by providing means to change the radial position of the axis of rotation of an adjustable blade with respect to an adjacent rotor as the blade is rotated.
The invention will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. l is an elevation view showing an adjustable blade apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged partial sectional view taken along the lines 2--2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a partial elevation view of part of the structure shown in Fig. 1 showing the apparatus showing the blades in the closed position;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the lines 44 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged partial elevation view of the apparatus that is shown in Fig. 1 from the reverse side; and
Fig. 6 is a partial elevation view of the apparatus shown in Fig. 3 also from the reverse side.
i Referring'to Fig. 1, a radial flow type of rotor is indicated generallyfatltl. Mounted adjacent the rotor is 'a plurality of 'circuinferentially and uniformly spaced vanes 11. Each of the vanes is provided with 'a- Control shanm of circular seetion which is mounted for reta- "tion within an eccentric bearing 13. The bearing 13 is called eccentric" in that it isgcylindrical in cross sec tion and the shaft 12 is journalledeccentrically therein; Each eccentric bearing 13 is in tuin journalled in an opening 14 in a bearing support member 14 forrotation therebetweenl Fastened to the end of each control shaft 12 to control the rotation threof is a clevis member 15 which engages a pin 19 on a positioning ring 18. Clevis member 15 and pin 19 comprise linkage means fordrivingly connecting positioning ring 18 with shaft 12 and vane 11 for rotation thereof. In order to rotate the eccentric bearing 13 within the support 14, a pinion 17 is fastened to the'sha'ft which meshes with teeth on theperiphery of the positioning ring 18.- The pin and 'clevis'can best be seen in Figs. 5 and 6. The pin'and clevis arrangement 'th'en operates to rotate the control shaft 12 within the eccentric bearing 13 whereas the'ring and pinion arrangement operates to "rotate the eccentric bearing within its opening '14 in the bearing support 14 upon rotation of the positioning ring 18. By proper sizing of the eccentric bearing 13 and the parts in the ring and pinion arrangementand also'the clevis and pin arrangement described above, a resulting arrangement can be. obtained in'whi'ch the position or the vanes 11 is adjusted by rotating the positioning ring 18 to vary the flow area therebetween, but in varying from the closed position as indicated by Figs. 3, 4, and 6 to the maximum area position as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5, the clearance between the periphery 26 of the rotor '10 and the adjacent edge 27 of the blades 11 is maintained at a constant or nearly constant magnitude.
Thus, an improved adjustable vane assembly is provided in which the flow area between the vanes is variable, the minimum of aerodynamic torque exerted thereon and at the same time maintaining a desired clearance between the vanes and an adjacent rotor.
While a particular embodiment of the invention ha 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 invention and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
