Abstract
Description
図1に、ファンブレードを備えたターボファンエンジン1の概略側断面図を示す。ターボファンエンジン1は、推力の大部分を発生させるファン2と、ファン2の後方に配置されファン2を駆動するためのタービンを備えたコアエンジン3とから構成されている。
ファン2は、周方向に間隔を隔てて配置された複数のファンブレード21を備えており、ファン2の周囲には、ファン2を囲むようにして略円筒状に形成されたファンケース4が配設されている。ファンケース4は、コアエンジン3のケーシング30に、周方向に間隔を隔てて複数配設されたストラット(支柱)5を介し、取り付けられている。ファンケース4内に収容されるファン2は、ファンシャフト39に取り付けられたファンディスク22と、ファンディスク22に周方向に間隔を隔てて複数配設された複数のファンブレード21とを備えている。ファンブレード21は、空力特性を考慮して大きく捻れた形状となっている。以下、ファンブレード21の製造方法および製造装置について説明する。
図2に、ファンブレード型6b(以下、下型6bとも言う)と、それに押し付けられる素材板7とを示す。素材板7は、複数平行に配向された主繊維71と、主繊維71に交差して複数平行に配向された副繊維72と、主繊維71および副繊維72を一体化する樹脂とを有する。このように繊維71、72によって樹脂が強化された素材板7が、以下に述べるようにして複数(例えば8~16枚)積層して貼り合わされ、複合材(FRP:Fiber Reinforced Plastics、例えば、CFRP:Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)製のファンブレード21が製造される。なお、積層される素材板7同士の間に、必要に応じて熱可塑性樹脂からなるインターリーフを介在させ、層間の密着力の向上を図ってもよい。
図3は、ファンブレード21を製造するためのサーモフォーム装置TFの概略断面図である。素材板7は、サーモフォーム装置TFによって三次元形状に成形される。サーモフォーム装置TFは、ファンブレード型(下型)6bと、成形品の上面の形状が転写されたペアファンブレード型6a(以下、上型6aとも言う)と、素材板7を挟持するブランクホルダ8と、素材板7を加熱するヒータ9とを備えている。上型6aと下型6bとで、一つのファンブレード型ユニット6が構成される。
図4Aはファンブレード型(下型)6bおよびロアーブランクホルダ8bの平面図、図4Bは同じく側面図、図5は、図4Aおよび図4Bに示す下型6bおよびロアーブランクホルダ8b、1次曲げされた素材板7を示す斜視図である。また、図6は、図4A、図4B、および図5に示す下型6bおよびロアーブランクホルダ8bに素材板7を配置し、素材板7の引っ張り量を矢印の長さで表した説明図である。また、図7Aおよび図7Bは図6に示す下型6bおよびロアーブランクホルダ8bの部分断面図であり、図7Aは下型6bの長手方向端部における幅方向中央部(引っ張り量が大きい部分)での部分断面図、図7Bは下型6bの長手方向端部における幅方向両端部(引っ張り量が小さい部分)での部分断面図である。下型6bは、複数の素材板7を積層して成るファンブレード21の内の成形すべき一層の形状が転写されたファンブレード部64(ドットで示す部分)と、ファンブレード部64の周囲に沿って形成され成形すべきファンブレード21の形状ではない余肉部65とを有する。かかる下型6bは、ロアーブランクホルダ8bに上下方向に貫通形成された下型貫通孔82に、スライド可能に挿通されている。
図6、図7A、および図7Bに示すように、下型6bの余肉部65は、ファンブレード部64の周囲に均等に設定されているわけではなく、下型6bの長手方向端部における幅方向中央部65xと、下型6bの長手方向端部における幅方向両端部65yとで、断面形状が異なっている。ここで、幅方向とは、下型6bの長手方向Y(図4A参照)と直交する方向であり、断面形状とは、余肉部65を素材板7の押付け方向(上下方向)で切断した際の形状である。
先ず、図4A、図4Bおよび図5に示すロアーブランクホルダ8bを、その頂面が下型6bよりも上方に位置するまで、上方に移動させる(図3参照)。そのロアーブランクホルダ8bの頂面に、素材板7をヒータ9等によって可塑温度以上に加熱した状態で図6に示すように載置する。ここで、ファンブレード21は既述のように空力特性を向上させるために大きく捻れているため、その形状が転写された下型6bも捻れた形状となっている。具体的には、下型6bは、図5に示すように、長手方向に間隔を隔てた峰部66を有すると共に峰部66同士を結ぶ稜線部67を有する形状(略馬鞍状)となっている。このため、サーモフォーム成形工程において、素材板7を平板形状のまま下型6bに押し付けようとすると、下型6bの峰部66から点接触が始まり、峰部66同士の間の稜線部67が対向する素材板7の中央部に適切なテンションが掛からず、皺の原因となる。
本発明の変形例を図8、図9に示す。図8は変形例に係る下型6bおよびロアーブランクホルダ8bに1次曲げされた素材板7を載置した状態の平面図を示し、図9は図8の要部側断面図である。図8に示すように、ロアーブランクホルダ8bの頂面(アッパーブランクホルダ8aとの対向面)に、下型6bの長手方向端部の外側に位置して、下型6bの長手方向と交差する方向にビード状に形成された凸部83が設けられている。また、この凸部83に合わせて、アッパーブランクホルダ8aの下面に、凹部84(図9参照)が設けられている。これら凸部83および凹部84は、下型6bの長手方向と略直交して交差する方向に形成されている。なお、凸部83および凹部84は、上下で凹凸が逆となっていてもよい。
本発明の第1の態様は、ファンブレードの製造方法であって、複数平行に配向された主繊維と、該主繊維に交差して複数平行に配向された副繊維と、これら主繊維および副繊維を一体化する樹脂とを有する素材板を、加熱した状態で枠状のブランクホルダで挟持し、該ブランクホルダで挟持した素材板を、前記主繊維の方向をファンブレード型の長手方向に合わせて、ファンブレード型に押し付けるようにしている。
