Definitions

  • Air is introduced, through the tang, into the plenum References Cited formed by the insert and then discharged through ori- UNITED STATES PATENTS fices to impinge against the chamber walls and cool 2.779565 1 1957 Bruckmann 416/96 the airfoil
  • the insert is assembled y introducing it 2,873,944 2/1959 Wiese et al. 416/92 through the tip end openin and an opening in the 3,446,480 5/1969 Emmerson et at... 416/90 lower end of the chamber.
  • the inner end of the insert 5 1/1972 G m t a 9 9 v 7 is brought into register with openings in the tang for Corsmerer et al.
  • a more recent innovation in air cooling of blades has been the so called impingement cooling of blades.
  • a central plenum is provided from which air is discharged from relatively small holes, or orifices, to impinge against selected portions of the interior of the blade and thus provide a highly effective cooling mechanism.
  • the blade is formed as a hollow shell and the plenum is formed by a separate sheet metal insert which communicates, at its inner end, with a source of pressurized cooling air.
  • the blades of a turbine are generally formed as separate elements which are provided with tangs at their inner ends for attachment to the turbine rotor. This not only facilitates manufacture but also facililates maintenance and overhaul.
  • the blades are mounted on the turbine rotor by means of a dovetail slot arrangement or pins so that they can be separately replaced.
  • turbine blade comprising an intergrally formed airfoil and tang.
  • the airfoil has thin walls which define a chamber extending from its tip end to its inner end.
  • An insert is disposed in this chamber and it extends into the blade tang with its inner end mechanically locked thereto.
  • the insert forms a plenum sealed from the airfoil chamber.
  • Passageway means extend from the exterior of the tang into the insert for connecting the plenum with a source of pressurized cooling air.
  • This cooling air is discharged from a plurality of orifices directed toward the chamber wall to impinge there against and maintain the metal temperature of the airfoil at an acceptable level. The cooling air is then discharged from the chamber.
  • the inner end of the insert is locked to the tang by means of a pin extending therethrough.
  • the inner end of the insert, through which the pin passes is thickened or solid.
  • the passageway means for introducing cooling air into the insert may include a passageway through the upper portion of the tang, extending from one end thereof, and an opening in the lower portion of the insert above its thickened portion.
  • a lug may be formed in the tang passageway and be slotted to receive the lower end of the insert and its retaining pin.
  • the pin may terminate at the face of the lug within the passageway and an opening may be provided in the opposite face or opposite side of the tang to facilitate riveting of the pin.
  • the insert may be formed as a thin walled shell, at its outer end, having an end cap with 'an outwardly projecting, peripheral flange.
  • This flange may be secured to the wall of the insert shell and then flared outwardly into an undercut peripheral groove around the tip end opening in the airfoil to positively retain the cap itself as well as to provide for sealing of the chamber from leakage through its tip end.
  • Another feature of the invention is found in the provision of integrally formed pins projecting from the airfoil into the chamber to engage and support the insert therein.
  • Aligned openings in the tip end of the airfoil and at the inner end of the chamber may be provided to permit insertion of the insert into the blade. After such insertion, the pin may be introduced through aligned openings in the tang and insert to mechanically lock the insert.
  • FIG. 1 a portion of a turbine rotor is shown.
  • a plurality of turbine blades 12 (one is shown) are mounted, in the usual configuration,
  • the blades are attached to the rotor by dovetail tangs 14 (FIG. 2) which are received by correspondingly shaped grooves in the rotor.
  • the blades are axially held in place on the rotor 10 by retaining rings, or discs, 16 and 18.
  • the disc 18 is spaced from the rotor 10 and defines apassageway 20 for pressurized cooling air which is introduced centrally from the engines compressor. This cooling air enters the blade through a tang passageway in a manner later described to provide cooling of the blade in accordance with the present invention.
  • the blade comprises an aerodynamically shaped airfoil section or portion 22 which projects outwardly from a platform 24.
  • the tang 14 then extends inwardly of the platform 24 which defines the inner bonds of the hot gas flowpath through the engine.
  • the tang 14, as previously referenced, provides for attachment of the blade to the turbine rotor 10.
  • the airfoil 22 is in the form of a hollow shell, defining a chamber 23 at its relatively thick and blunt leading edge portion.
  • the airfoil 22 in cross section, tapers down to a relatively narrow trailing end section.
  • An insert 26 is disposed within the chamber 23 which extends from the tip end of the airfoil to below the platform 24.
  • the insert 26 comprises a thin walled shell which is closely spaced from the walls of chamber 23 at the leading and side surfaces of the airfoil.
  • the inner end of the insert 26 projects into a passageway 28 which extends from one end to the other of the upper portion of the tang l4 and connects with the cooling air passageway 20 of the rotor assembly.
  • the inner end of the insert is preferably formed with a thick walled or solid section 30 which is positioned within a slot 32 formed in a lug 34 which projects outwardly from the basic tang portion of the blade into the passageway 28.
  • the insert is held in place by a pin or rivet 36 which is inserted from one side of the tang.
  • the inner end of the rivet is then flared into locking relationship with the lug 34, as is particularly indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3, by inserting a swaging or flaring tool through an aligned hole 38 provided in the opposite side of the tang 14.
  • the end walls of the insert are cut away to provide for the flow of cooling air from the passageway 28 into the interior of the insert.
  • the insert sealingly engages a correspondingly shaped interior opening at the inner end of the chamber 23 so that the insert itself functions as a plenum for the pressurized cooling air.
  • This takes into account the fact that the end of the insert is sealed off by a cap 40.
  • the cap 40 has an outwardly projecting, peripheral flange 41 which may be welded or brazed to the marginal tip portions of the shell which forms the insert.
  • the tip end of the insert is positioned by the inner portion of a correspondingly shaped opening 42.
  • the opening 42 has an undercut groove 44 peripherally thereof.
  • the outer ends of the cap 40 and the insert 26 are flared outwardly into this groove. This provides further sealing of the airfoil chamber 23, and positive retention of the insert cap 40. Additionally, secondary retention of the insert itself is also provided.
  • the insert 26 is further positioned and supported by integrally formed pins 46 which project from the airfoil 22 into the chamber 23.
  • the majority of the air introduced into the plenum insert 26 is discharged therefrom through a series of relatively small, closely spaced orifices. or jets, 48 along its forward edge which impinge the air against the inner surface of the leading edge of the blade shell. This is one of the areas of greatest heat concentrations on the blade during its operation.
  • the impingement cooling effect helps to maintain the metal temperatures at an acceptable level.
  • a lesser number of cooling orifices 50 may be provided on the sides of the blade to impinge against the interior surfaces of the convex and concave surfaces of the airfoil section.
  • orifices 52 may be provided in the insert to impinge air against pins 54 which project into a cooling air discharge slot 56 running the length of the trailing edge portion of the blade.
  • the air impinging against the leading edge portion of the chamber 23 then flows around the insert and is discharge through the slot 56.
  • This flow of cooling air is made more effective by the pins 46 which additionally create turbulence and increase heat transfer as the air flows around the insert. Cooling effectiveness is further enhanced by the impingement air discharged from the lateral and trailing jets 50 and 52 with additional turbulence being provided by the pins 54.
  • the described blade is readily assembled by first fabricating the insert 26, with its end cap 40 in place, then introducing the insert through the opening 42 and positioning the thickened end portion 30 within the slot 32.
  • the rivet 36 may then be inserted and secured as previously described to positively retain the insert in place. Thereafter the tip end of the insert and the cap 40 may be flared outwardly to positively retain it in place for the advantages mentioned above.
  • a turbine blade comprising:
  • said airfoil having thin walls defining a chamber extending from its tip end to said inner end
  • said tang having a passageway from one exterior end face thereof through its upper portion to the insert, said insert having an opening registered with said passageway,
  • said insert having a plurality of orifices directed toward the chamber wall for impingement thereof of cooling air from said plenum
  • the pin extends through and terminates on the end face of the lug and is riveted there against and an opening is provided through the side face of said tang opposite said lug, said opening being aligned with said pin to facilitate riveting thereof.
  • said airfoil chamber extends beneath the level of said platform thereby providing for cooling thereof and the means for discharging cooling air from said chamber include passageway means extending from said chamber and discharging from the trailing edge of said airfoil.
  • said insert being insertable through said aligned openings and sealingly engagable therewith to seal said plenum from said chamber.
