(Cl. 253-77) This invention comprises improvements in or relating to bladed rotors of machines such as gas turbines, the rotors being of the class comprising a ring of blades mounted at the periphery of a rotor disc or drum and an annular plate which lies against axially facing surfaces of the periphery of the disc or drum and of the root portions of the blades.
According to this invention, in a rotor of the class referred to, the annular plate is retained axially against said surfaces by having a ring of angularly-spaced dogs which are engaged behind corresponding dogs on the disc or drum by presenting the plate to the disc or drum with the dogs on the plate angularly between those on c disc or drum and then rotating the plate relative to the disc or drum, and there is at least one key which is trapped between a pair of the dogs on the disc or drum to hold it against circumferential displacement, and is located radially and axially relative to the disc or drum, the key having a tab which is bent to engage betweer circumferentiailyiacing shoulders on the plate to locate the plate circurnferentially relative to the disc or drum.
In one preferred arrangement, the tab engages said pair of the dogs on the disc or drum to locate the key circumferentially and engages in a radial notch in the plate to locate the plate circumferentially.
One construction of rotor of the class referred to embodying the above and other features of invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is an axial section through part of a gas turbine,
FIGURE 2 is an axial view of part of the annular plate,
FIGURE 3 is an axial view of part of the rotor,
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of one form of key,
FIGURE 5 is a View of part of FIGURE 1 to a larger scale, and
FIGURE 6 is a perspective view showing the locking key in position.
In FIGURE 1, the rotor 11} is the turbine rotor of a gas turbine engine and comprises a rotor disc 11 having an axially thickened peripheral rim 11a whereon a ring of rotor blades 12 are mounted to extend radially between nozzle guide vanes 13, which lead hot combustion gases from combustion equipment 14 to the blades 12, and an exhaust assembly 15.
Each blade has a root 12a, including a shoulder portion 12!) which engages a correspondingly shouldered channel 17 extending across the disc rim 11a in a generally axial direction.
The rotor also includes a pair of unsplit annular plates 16 which are mounted one on each side of the disc 11 to lie in contact with the axially facing surfaces of the disc rim 11a and blade root portions 12a, 12b.
A part of one form of the plates 16 is shown in FIG- URES 2, 5, 6 and it comprises a main portion 16a, which tapers radially outwards in thickness (see FIGURE 5), and which extends radially inwards from a turned over circumferential lip 16b at its outer edge to just beyond a circmiferentially-continuous land 160 near its inner edge, the land 16c projecting axially from the surface of dfidfifild Patented July 2, 15163 2 the plate which lies against the disc rim 11a and blade roots to provide a pair of oppositely and radially facing surfaces 16d, 16c. The surface 16d engages a radially inwardly facing surface 11b formed by an annular groove lie on the disc rim 11a, thereby to centre the plate 16 relative to the rotor disc 11.
The inner edges of the plates 15 are provided with groups of angularly-spaced radially-inwardly-projecting dogs 18 which when the plate is in position engage behind radially-outwardly-projecting dogs 19 projecting from the disc rim 11a at the inner limit of the groove lie. The dogs 19 have a spacing equal to that of the dogs 13 but there are a greater number of the dogs 19 than there are dogs 18, there being between each group of the dogs 18 a space sufficient to be occupied by one further dog as indicated at 20 in FIGURE 2. One or more of such spaces 29 may be provided around the plate 16 and for instance in one arrangement six such spaces are provided so that when the plate 16 is in position on the disc rim there will be six dogs 19 which do not have dogs 13 engaged behind them. The dogs 18 are engaged behind the dogs 19 :by first presenting the plate 16 to the disc rim 11a with the dogs '18 entering the spaces between the dogs 19 and then rotating the plate 16 relative to the disc 11 to bring the dogs 18 behind the dogs 19. In this way the plate 16 is held axial-1y in position relative to the disc 11.
In order to locate the plate 16 angularly with respect to the disc '11, a series of keys 21 such as are shown in FIGURE 4- are provided, the number of such keys being the same as the number of the spaces 29 above referred to.
As will best be seen from FIGURES 4, 5 and 6, each key 21 comprises a short bar of metal having a flat lower radially-inwardly-facing surface 21:: which bears on the lower side surface 11d of the groove 11c, and a stepped upper surface to provide a first radially-outward ly-facing surface portion 211) which bears against the surface 16c of the circumferential land 16c on the plate 15 and a surface portion 21c which is spaced slightly away from the inner edge of the plate 16. Since the surface 16d of the land 16c engages the surface 1111, the surface 21b engages the surface 16c and the surface 21a engages the surface 11d, the key is located against radial movement. The stepped formation also provides a pair of axially-facing radially-extending surfaces 21d and 21a which contact respectively the plate 16 and the disc 11a so that thereby the key is trapped axially in position.
The axially wider portion of the key 21 has a length somewhat greater than the space between a pair of the dogs 19 so that when the key is in position its end portions lie between a pair of the dogs 19 and the adjacent surface of the disc rim 11a (FIGURE 6').
Each key also has a tab 21 which prior to assembly projects axiaHy as seen in FIGURES 4 and 6, and this tab is positioned centrally between the ends of the key at such a height above the surface 210: that its circumferentiallyfacing surfaces can abut the adjacent circumferentiallyfacing surfaces of the two dogs 19 behind which the ends of the key are engaged. As will be seen from FIGURE 5, after the plate 16 has been properly positioned with its dogs 18 behind the dogs 19, the tab 21 is bent upwardly so that the tab end engages in a radial notch 16 formed in the inner edge of the plate 16, the notch 16f by its side surfaces providing circumferentially-facing shoulders which cooperate in abutment with the circumferentially-facing surfaces of the tabs 21 to locate the plate circumferentially. In this way the tab 21 of the key 21 serves both to locate the key circumferentially with respect to the disc 11 and to locate the plate 16 relative to the disc 11.
Where a plate 16 has a continuous lip 16b, the ring of blades 12 is provided at the outer ends of their roots with undercut flanges 120 to receive the lip 16b and in assembly the blades are first'hooked on the lip 16b and the plate and blades are then offered up to the rotor disc 11 so that the shouldered root portions 12b engage their respective channels 17 and so that the dogs 18 pass between the dogs 19 as the blade root portions 12b are forced home. The keys 21 are already positioned with their end portions behind the dogs 19 and it is arranged in offering up the plate 16 to the disc rim 11a that the spaces 29 are angullarly level with the keys. When the blades are fully home, the dogs 18 have reached an axial position as shown in FIGURE 5 and the plate 16 may now be rotated to bring the dogs 18 behind the dogs 19 and to bring the notches 16] into radial alignment with the tabs 21 of the keys 21. The tabs 21 are now bent upwardly to the position shown in FIGURE 5 so locking the assembly.
en one of the plates 16 has a continuous lip 16]; as above described, the other of the plates 16 will have at its outer edge a series of radially-outwardly-extending dogs 116b (FIGURE 6) to engage behind corresponding dogs on alternate blade roots 12a, or will have a radial extent insufficient to reach the outer limit of the blade roots 12a.
In another construction both plates 16 have at their outer edges a dog formation such as is provided by the dogs 11Gb to engage behind corresponding dogs formed on the blade roots.
If desired the plates 16 may be provided with holes to admit cooling air to, or to allow escape of cooling air from channels between the blade roots or cooling fluid ducts in the blades.
Alternatively, when the blades are uncooled, the plate or plates 16 act to prevent a flow of fluid, say sealing air, from one side of the rotor disc to the other through the gaps between the blade roots.
