Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a cooling structure for the tip of a high-pressure turbine blade, belonging to the technical field of cooling structures. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing development of the field of aero-engines, the performance requirements for aero-engines are getting higher and higher. Increasing the turbine inlet temperature and the compressor pressure ratio can effectively improve the thrust-to-weight ratio and thermal efficiency of the engine.
[0003] Patent document CN119467008A discloses a gas turbine blade based on a partitioned composite cooling mechanism. "In the blade body, several different cooling channels are partitioned, mainly including double-layer S-shaped ribs in the leading edge area of the blade, double-layer wedge-shaped matrix ribs in the mid-chord area, and double-channel exhaust grooves in the trailing edge area; gas film holes are longitudinally arranged on the peripheral wall of the thin-walled outer layer corresponding to the positions of the double-layer S-shaped ribs and the double-layer wedge-shaped matrix ribs; jet holes are longitudinally arranged on the peripheral wall of the inner layer of the solid body, and the cooling gas passing through the double-layer S-shaped ribs and the double-layer wedge-shaped matrix ribs is sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the thin-walled outer layer through the jet holes. The present invention increases the overall heat transfer area inside the turbine blade, enhances turbulence and increases the disturbance of the airflow boundary layer; cooler air is introduced from inside or around the blade through the gas film holes and sprayed onto the blade surface to form a gas film, isolating the direct contact between the high-temperature airflow and the blade material surface, thereby reducing the heat load on the blade surface and improving the cooling effect of the cooling gas on the high-temperature blade." However, for a gas turbine blade based on a partitioned composite cooling mechanism in the above-mentioned published literature, it mainly considers partitioning several different areas of the blade, and mainly sets structures such as turbulator ribs, jet holes, and gas film holes. The advantage is that it increases the overall heat transfer area inside the turbine blade, enhances turbulence and the disturbance of the airflow boundary layer, and improves the comprehensive cooling efficiency. The disadvantage is that it does not well improve the flow loss at the blade tip.
[0004] Due to the increase in the turbine inlet temperature, the cooling demand for the hot-end components of the engine has risen. On the other hand, with the increase in the pressure ratio, the temperature of the high-pressure air has risen, resulting in a continuous decline in the quality of the cooling air. It has become very difficult to meet the application requirements of hot-end components such as turbines in aero-engines by relying on the development of the high-temperature resistance performance of the material itself. The thermal protection problem has become a key problem restricting the development of aero-engines. For this reason, we propose a cooling structure for the tip of a high-pressure turbine blade. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling structure for the tip of a high-pressure turbine blade in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling and reducing the temperature of the tip of the high-pressure turbine blade.

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a cooling structure for the tip of a high-pressure turbine blade includes a main flow channel 1. The bottom of the main flow channel 1 is connected to a cold air channel 2. Inside the cold air channel 2, there is a double-layer wall 3. At the top of the double-layer wall 3, there are film holes 4 arranged in an array. Inside the double-layer wall 3, there are turbulators 5 arranged in an array. Inside the turbulators 5, there are impingement holes 6 arranged in an array. High-temperature gas (1500K) enters from the left flow inlet of the main flow channel 1, passes through the tip surface, and then exits from the right outlet. 750K cooling air is injected from the cold air inlet of the bottom cold air channel 2, and a cooling air film is formed after passing through the internal structure. The adiabatic surface 7 can reduce heat dissipation and concentrate the cooling effect. The double-layer wall 3 is a composite structure composed of an inner and an outer wall surface. The inner wall is in contact with the main flow channel 1. The film holes 4 are arranged in an array, and the cold air is evenly ejected through the film holes 4 to form a low-temperature protective air film between the high-temperature gas and the wall surface. The turbulators 5 enhance the heat exchange efficiency between the cold air and the wall surface through turbulent perturbation and extend the residence time of the cold air. The cold air is ejected vertically at high speed through the impingement holes 6 onto the inner wall surface of the main flow channel 1 to achieve local impingement cooling (high heat transfer coefficient area). When the cold air flows through the cold air channel 2, it sequentially passes through the impingement holes 6 to efficiently impinge and cool the wall surface. The turbulators 5 strengthen the turbulent heat transfer of the cold air, and the film holes 4 form a heat-insulating air film to cover the high-temperature wall surface. Finally, it realizes: impingement cooling, film cooling, and turbulator strengthening triple protection, increases the residence time of the cold air, strengthens the convective heat transfer, can effectively increase the coverage area of the cold air at the tip, avoid the direct scouring of the tip by the leakage flow in the tip clearance, weaken or even eliminate the separation bubble formed due to the attachment and separation of the leakage flow in the tip clearance, reduce the flow loss in the tip area, improve the temperature distribution at the tip, effectively enhance the cooling effect in the area near the trailing edge of the tip, and extend the service life of the turbine blade.
[0019] An adiabatic surface 7 is provided at the top of the main flow channel 1. The adiabatic surface 7 can reduce heat dissipation and concentrate the cooling effect.
[0020] The left side of the main flow channel 1 is the main flow inlet, and the right side of the main flow channel 1 is the main flow outlet. The bottom of the cold air channel 2 is the cold air inlet. High-temperature gas (1500K) enters from the left flow inlet of the main flow channel 1, passes through the tip surface, and then exits from the right outlet. 750K cooling air is injected from the cold air inlet of the bottom cold air channel 2, and a cooling air film is formed after passing through the internal structure.
[0021] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, when the cooling structure at the tip of the high-pressure turbine blade is first used, the high-temperature gas enters from the left flow inlet of the mainstream channel 1, passes through the tip surface and exits from the right outlet. The cooling air is injected from the bottom cooling air channel 2 through the cold air inlet, and forms a cooling air film after passing through the internal structure. The adiabatic surface 7 can reduce heat dissipation and concentrate the cooling effect. The double-layer wall 3 is a composite structure composed of an inner and an outer wall surface. The inner wall is in contact with the mainstream channel 1, and the film holes 4 are arranged in an array. The cold air is evenly ejected through the film holes 4 to form a low-temperature protective air film between the high-temperature gas and the wall surface. The turbulator 5 enhances the heat exchange efficiency between the cold air and the wall surface through turbulent disturbance and prolongs the residence time of the cold air. The cold air is ejected vertically at high speed through the impingement holes 6 onto the inner wall surface of the mainstream channel 1 to achieve local impingement cooling (high heat transfer coefficient area). When the cold air flows through the cold air channel 2, it sequentially impinges on the wall surface through the impingement holes 6 for efficient impingement cooling. The turbulator 5 strengthens the turbulent heat transfer of the cold air, and the film holes 4 form a heat-insulating air film to cover the high-temperature wall surface, finally achieving: triple protection of impingement cooling, film cooling, and turbulator strengthening, increasing the residence time of the cold air, and strengthening convective heat transfer.
