Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shaft seal mechanism that seals a rotating shaft of a rotating machine such as a gas turbine, a steam turbine, a compressor, a water turbine, a refrigerator, or a pump, and in particular, a flat plate-like thin plate in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft.
- the present invention relates to a shaft seal having a multilayer arrangement.
- annular gap is formed between a stationary member such as a stationary blade and a rotating member such as a rotating shaft.
- the working fluid passes through the annular gap and leaks from the high pressure side toward the low pressure side.
- a shaft seal mechanism is used.
- non-contact type labyrinth seals have been widely used as one of such shaft seal mechanisms.
- such a shaft seal mechanism needs to prevent the tip of the fin from coming into contact with surrounding members due to shaft vibration during a rotational transition period or thermal transient thermal deformation. For this reason, the clearance between the fin tips, that is, the seal clearance has to be increased to some extent, which increases the amount of leakage of the working fluid.
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the shaft seal.
- the shaft seal 100 includes a housing 102 disposed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 101 so as to surround the rotating shaft 101, and a thin plate 105 fitted in the housing 102 and disposed in a ring shape in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 101.
- the thin plate 105 seals the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 101, so that the space around the rotating shaft 101 is divided into a high pressure side region and a low pressure side region with the thin plate 105 as a boundary.
- a high pressure side plate 104 (side leaf) is provided on the high pressure side of the thin plate 105
- a low pressure side plate (back leaf) 103 is provided on the low pressure side of the thin plate 105.
- the high-pressure side plate 104 and the low-pressure side plate 103 are mounted on the housing 102 as guide plates that support the thin plate 105.
- the shaft seal 100 configured in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 101 is configured as a seal segment that becomes a plurality of divided rings divided into 2 to 8 in the circumferential direction.
- An annular shaft seal 100 is formed by connecting the circumferential ends of these seal segments between adjacent seal segments.
- a gap is formed between circumferential end portions that are connecting portions of adjacent seal segments.
- the working fluid passes through this gap from the high pressure side region toward the low pressure side region. That is, a flow path for the working fluid is formed from the high pressure side region toward the low pressure side region.
- FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the form of the circumferential end of the seal segment. Since the flow path is formed by the gap as described above, the flow C of the working fluid is generated in the gap. Further, this causes a flow A leaking between the high-pressure side plate 104 and the thin plate 105 and a flow B leaking between the low-pressure side plate 103 and the thin plate 105. Due to these leaking flows A and B, the pressure distribution between the thin plates 105 in the vicinity of the circumferential end of the seal segment becomes unstable. Therefore, a pressing force that presses the thin plate 105 toward the rotating shaft 101 acts against the levitation force.
- the gap in the vicinity of the split portion of the shaft seal (in the vicinity of the end portion in the circumferential direction of the seal segment) is set larger than the other gaps in the circumferential direction excluding the vicinity of the split portion.
- the pressure distribution is optimized, and the pressing force applied to the thin plate 105 is thereby reduced.
- the flying characteristics of the thin plate 105 may still not be recovered.
- the thin plate 105 and the rotary shaft 101 come into contact with each other, and the thin plate 105 and the rotary shaft 101 are worn.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a shaft seal capable of effectively suppressing leakage of a working fluid and a rotary machine including the shaft seal.
- the shaft seal according to the present invention is a shaft seal configured by annularly arranging a plurality of seal segments in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft, and each seal segment is disposed along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft.
- the tip protrudes toward the rotating shaft, and the amount of protrusion of the tip of the thin plate in the vicinity of the circumferential end where the adjacent seal segments are connected is the tip of the thin plate at the circumferential center of the seal segment. Is set smaller than the amount of protrusion.
- the protruding amount at the tip of the thin plate is set small in the vicinity of the circumferential end of the seal segment where the pressure distribution becomes unstable due to fluid leakage. Even if the pressing force acts and the floating characteristics of the thin plate deteriorate, it is possible to prevent the tip of the thin plate from coming into contact with the rotating shaft.
- the protruding amount of the thin plate in the vicinity of the circumferential end may gradually decrease from the circumferential inner side of the seal segment toward the circumferential end.
- the pressure distribution due to fluid leakage becomes the most unstable state at the circumferential end of the seal segment, and is gradually eliminated toward the inner side in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the pressing force generated in the thin plate is also maximized at the circumferential end portion of the seal segment and becomes smaller toward the inner side in the circumferential direction.
- the distance between the tip of the thin plate and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft, that is, the seal clearance be increased during rotation.
- the amount of protrusion of the thin plate is set so as to gradually decrease from the inner side in the circumferential direction of the seal segment toward the end in the circumferential direction.
- the region where the protruding amount of the thin plate in the vicinity of the circumferential end portion is set to be small may be a region where the levitation force is relatively reduced with respect to the circumferential central portion.
- the protruding amount of the thin plate is reduced in the region where the levitation force is reduced relative to the central portion in the circumferential direction, that is, in the region where the pressing force acts on the thin plate during rotation.
- the seal clearance is kept to a minimum while maintaining the non-contact between the tip of the thin plate and the rotating shaft over the entire circumferential direction of the shaft seal, and the working fluid leaks from the high pressure side to the low pressure side. It can be effectively prevented.
- the protruding amount of each thin plate when the rotating shaft is stopped may be set so that the protruding amount of each thin plate when the rotating shaft rotates is equal.
- any one of the above shaft seals is disposed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. According to the rotating machine having such a feature, since the shaft seal is provided, it is possible to prevent the tip of the thin plate from coming into contact with the rotating shaft.
- the shaft seal and the rotating machine of the present invention since the protruding amount of the thin plate tip in the vicinity of the circumferential end of the seal segment is set small, even if the floating characteristics of the thin plate are deteriorated during rotation, It can prevent that a peripheral side edge part contacts a rotating shaft. Therefore, wear of each thin plate and the rotating shaft can be prevented, and leakage of the working fluid can be effectively suppressed.

- FIG. 6A when the gas pressure of the working fluid from the high pressure side region toward the low pressure side region is applied to each thin plate 20, the most at the corner portion r ⁇ b> 1 positioned at the tip and on the high pressure side with respect to each thin plate 20.
- a gas pressure distribution 40a is formed in which the gas pressure is high and the gas pressure gradually decreases toward the diagonal corner r2.
- the thin plate 20 has a T-shape.
- FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B only the rectangular portion where the bending occurs is shown and the other portions are not shown in order to simplify the description. Yes.
- the surface of the thin plate 20 facing the rotating shaft 5 is a lower surface 20q
- the back side is an upper surface 20p.
- a gas pressure from the high pressure side region to the low pressure side region is applied to each thin plate 20 to form a gas pressure distribution 40a as shown in FIG. 6A
- the upper surface at an arbitrary position along the cross section of each thin plate 20 The gas pressure is adjusted so that the gas pressure applied to the lower surface 20q is higher than the gas pressure applied to 20p.
- the working fluid g flowing from the high pressure side region toward the low pressure side region flows from between the high pressure side plate 23 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, the working fluid g flows between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 and the tip of the thin plate 20, and from the corner portion r1 along the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q of each thin plate 20. It flows radially in the direction of the corner r2. As the working fluid g flows in this manner, a low pressure region expands toward the base end of the thin plate 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
- the gas pressure distributions 40 b and 40 c applied perpendicularly to the upper surface 20 p and the lower surface 20 q of each thin plate 20 increase as it approaches the distal end of the thin plate 20 and decrease toward the base end of the thin plate 20. .
- the gas pressure distributions 40b and 40c on the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q have substantially the same shape, but the thin plates 20 are arranged so that the angle with respect to the peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 is an acute angle. Therefore, the relative positions of the gas pressure distributions 40b and 40c on the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q are shifted. Therefore, there is a difference in gas pressure between the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q at an arbitrary point P from the proximal end to the distal end of the thin plate 20. That is, in the thin plate 20, the gas pressure applied to the lower surface 20q is higher than the gas pressure applied to the upper surface 20p. As a result, a levitation force FL is generated in a direction in which the tip of the thin plate 20 floats from the rotary shaft 5.
- the levitation force FL acts on each thin plate 20 by causing a pressure difference between the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q of each thin plate 20 at the center in the circumferential direction of each seal segment 11.
- the tip of the thin plate 20 is deformed so as to float from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5. That is, when the rotary shaft 5 is stopped, the tip of the thin plate 20 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the rotary shaft 5 with a predetermined preload, but when the rotary shaft 5 is rotated, a levitation force FL acts on the tip of the thin plate 20. Therefore, the thin plate 20 floats from the rotating shaft 5 and is in a non-contact state, and a predetermined seal clearance is formed.
- each thin plate 20 when a gas pressure from the high pressure side region to the low pressure side region is applied to each thin plate 20 to form a gas pressure distribution 50a as shown in FIG. 7A, the upper surface at an arbitrary position along the cross section of each thin plate 20 The gas pressure applied to the lower surface 20q is smaller than the gas pressure applied to 20p.
- the working fluid g flowing from the high-pressure side region toward the low-pressure side region flows in from between the gaps t, and the upper surface of each thin plate 20 from the entire side edge on the high pressure side in the thin plate 20 as shown in FIG. 7A. It flows in parallel in the axial direction along 20p and the lower surface 20q, then changes to a downward flow inside the thin plate 20, and flows out to the low pressure side region. As the working fluid g flows in this manner, a low-pressure region expands toward the tip of the thin plate 20.
- the gas pressure distributions 50b and 50c on the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q have substantially the same shape, but the thin plates 20 are arranged so that the angle with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 is an acute angle. Therefore, the relative positions of the gas pressure distributions 50b and 50c on the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q are shifted. Therefore, there is a difference in gas pressure between the upper surface 20p and the lower surface 20q at an arbitrary point P from the proximal end to the distal end of the thin plate 20. That is, in the thin plate 20, the gas pressure applied to the upper surface 20p is higher than the gas pressure applied to the lower surface 20q, and a pressing force Fd that presses the thin plate 20 toward the rotating shaft 5 is generated.
- the pressing force Fd acts on each thin plate 20 at the circumferential end 12 of each seal segment 11.
- the levitation force FL acting on the thin plate 20 is offset, and the levitation characteristics of the thin plate 20 are degraded.
- the protrusion amount L at the tip of the thin plate 20 is set small in the vicinity of the circumferential end 12 of the seal segment 11 where the pressure distribution becomes unstable. Therefore, the tip of the thin plate 20 does not reach the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 even if the pressing force Fd toward the rotating shaft 5 acts on the thin plate 20 when the rotating shaft 5 rotates. As a result, it is possible to prevent wear and heat generation of each thin plate 20 and the rotating shaft 5 of the gas turbine 1 and to extend the life of these members.
- the pressure distribution becomes the most unstable state at the circumferential end 12 of the seal segment 11 and gradually disappears toward the inner side in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the pressing force Fd generated in the thin plate 20 is also maximized at the circumferential end 12 of the seal segment 11 and decreases as it goes inward in the circumferential direction.
- the seal clearance during rotation is increased.
- the protruding amount L of the thin plate 20 is set so as to gradually decrease from the inner circumferential side of the seal segment 11 toward the circumferential end 12.
- the pressing force Fd depends on the diameter of the shaft seal 10 and the pressure difference between the high-pressure side region and the low-pressure side region, but about 5 to 50 mm along the circumferential direction from the circumferential end 12 of each seal segment 11. Occurs in the range of.
- the range of the protrusion amount reduction region W is set to a range of about 5 to 50 mm along the circumferential direction from the circumferential end 12 of each seal segment 11. That is, the range of the projecting amount reduction region W is set so as to correspond to the range in which the flying force is lowered due to the pressing force Fd.
- the protrusion amount of only the thin plate 20 in a range where the floating characteristics of the thin plate 20 are lowered when the rotating shaft 5 is rotated is made small. Therefore, over the entire circumferential direction of the shaft seal 10, the seal clearance is minimized while maintaining non-contact between the tip of the thin plate 20 and the rotating shaft 5, and the leakage of the working fluid is effectively suppressed. Can do.
- the protrusion amount L of each thin plate 20 at the time of stop is set so that the protrusion amount L of all the thin plates 20 in the seal segment 11 becomes equal when the rotating shaft 5 rotates. It may be set individually.
- the levitation force FL and the pressing force Fd act on the thin plate 20 of each seal segment 11 according to the arrangement location.
- the length dimension of each thin plate 20 is individually adjusted so that the protruding amount L of each thin plate 20 during rotation is equal.
- the distance between the tip of the thin plate 20 and the rotary shaft 5 can be made uniform over the entire circumferential direction of the shaft seal 10 during rotation. This ensures that the working fluid leaks from the high pressure side toward the low pressure side while maintaining the non-contact between the tip of the thin plate 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 over the entire circumferential direction of the shaft seal 10. Can be prevented.
- the shape formed by the tip of the thin plate 20 disposed in the protrusion amount reduction region W from the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5 is preferably substantially arc-shaped as in the embodiment, but is not limited thereto.
- it may be linear or other shapes. That is, any shape may be used as long as the protrusion amount L of the thin plate 20 in the protrusion amount decrease region W is smaller than the protrusion amount L of the thin plate 20 in regions other than the protrusion amount decrease region W. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the tip of the thin plate 20 from coming into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5 when the rotating shaft 5 rotates.
- the amount of protrusion of the tip of the thin plate 20 in the protrusion amount reduction region W is obtained by assembling the seal segment 11 using only the thin plates 20 arranged in the protrusion amount reduction region W having different lengths.
- L is configured to be small, the present invention is not limited to this.
- the machine is applied to the thin plates 20 group in the projecting amount reduction region W from the inner peripheral side of the seal segments 11. Polishing or the like may be performed. As a result, it is possible to easily form the shaft seal 10 in which the protruding amount L gradually decreases from the inner circumferential side of the seal segment 11 toward the circumferential end 12.
- the shaft seal and the rotating machine of the present invention it is possible to prevent the thin plate and the rotating shaft from being worn and to effectively suppress the leakage of the working fluid.

これに対し、本発明においては、薄板の突出量がシールセグメントの周方向内側から周方向端部に向かうにしたがって漸次小さくなるように設定されていることから、回転時に薄板に対して押付力が生じた際に、該薄板の先端と回転軸との非接触を維持しつつも、シールクリアランスを最小限に維持し、高圧側から低圧側に向かって作動流体が漏洩するのを効果的に抑制することができる。
このような特徴の回転機械によれば、上記軸シールを備えていることから、薄板の先端が回転軸に接触することを防止することができる。
動翼7は回転軸5の軸方向に流れる燃焼ガスの圧力を受けて回転軸5を回転させ、回転軸5に与えられた回転エネルギーは軸端から取り出されて利用される。静翼6と回転軸5との間には、高圧側から低圧側に漏れる燃焼ガスの漏れ量を低減するために軸シール10が設けられている。
複数の薄板20は、回転軸5の軸方向に同一の幅となるように重ねられている。これら複数の薄板20は、その基端において、例えば溶接が施されることによって互いに固定連結されている。
本実施形態においては、図4に示すように、シールセグメント11の周方向端部12近傍の領域Wに配置された薄板20は、周方向中央に配置された薄板20よりも高圧側板23からの薄板20の先端の突出量Lが短く形成されている。
特に、本実施形態においては、接触力減少領域Wにおける薄板20は、シールセグメント11の周方向内側から周方向端部12に向かうにしたがって漸次突出量Lが小さくなるように設定されている。回転軸5の軸方向から見た突出量減少領域Wにおける複数の薄板20の先端がなす形状は、略円弧形状とされている。
この周方向端部12近傍においては、ガス圧が隣り合うシールセグメント11同士の周方向端部12間に形成された隙間tより作動流体gが流れ込むため、圧力分布に乱れが生じる。
このように作動流体gが流れることで、薄板20の先端に向かって低圧の領域が広がる。そのため、各薄板20の上面20p及び下面20qに垂直に加わるガス圧力分布50b,50cは、図7Bに示すように、薄板20の先端に近いほど小さくなるとともに薄板20の基端に向かうほど大きくなる。
このように、回転軸5を回転させた際に薄板20に浮上特性が低下する範囲の当該薄板20のみの突出量が小さくされている。そのため、軸シール10の周方向全域に亙って、薄板20の先端と回転軸5との非接触を維持しながらシールクリアランスを最小限とし、作動流体が漏洩するのを効果的に抑制することができる。
例えば、各薄板20の突出量Lを設定するに当たっては、回転軸5の回転時にシールセグメント11における全薄板20の突出量Lが等しくなるように、停止時の各前記薄板20の突出量Lを個別に設定してもよい。
