Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the category of turbine power device cooling technology, mainly relates to a new type of slotting structure of improving turbine blade gas film cooling efficiency. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas turbine plays an important role in both energy field and military field, with the need of high thrust-to-weight ratio, the gas turbine turbine inlet temperature is higher and higher, the next generation engine inlet temperature is expected to exceed 2300K, which is far beyond the maximum tolerance temperature of blade high-temperature alloy. The development cycle of new high-temperature resistant material is long and the cost is high, which cannot solve the problem of high temperature of blade surface in a short time. Gas film cooling technology has become one of the important ways to solve this problem due to its high efficiency and low cost. Gas film cooling technology sprays cooling medium through small holes on the surface of high-temperature blade, which adheres to the blade surface under the pressure and friction of the main flow, isolates the high-temperature gas and reduces the heat transfer temperature.

[0003] The geometric conditions and aerodynamic parameters of the hole are two important factors affecting the gas film cooling efficiency, and the structure of the gas film hole can expand the space for improving the performance of the gas turbine. Studies have shown that the slot at the outlet of the gas film hole helps to weaken the influence of the change of jet aerodynamic parameters, while reducing the surface heat transfer coefficient and increasing the spanwise coverage area of the gas film, thereby improving the gas film cooling efficiency.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with application number 202022258560.0 discloses a "new type of gas film cooling slotting structure", which is provided with a double-ladder structure on the downstream slot wall of the transverse slot, thereby increasing the coverage area of the downstream cooling gas film and improving the spanwise gas film cooling efficiency of the wall surface. Although this structure can improve the gas film cooling efficiency, it does not improve the flow channel of the hole. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the above structure, the utility model provides a new slotting structure for improving the turbine gas film cooling efficiency, which optimizes the flow channel and outlet of the jet at the same time, can improve the uniformity of the gas film spanwise coverage, make the gas film more easily adhere to the wall surface, thereby improve the gas film cooling efficiency, suitable for the gas film cooling technology of discrete hole with slotting structure, and the cooling effect is more obvious under higher blowing ratio.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a new slotting structure for effectively reducing the surface temperature of turbine blade, which comprises a gas film hole, a transverse slot and a wall surface, the gas film hole is arranged in the upstream area of the wall surface, and the internal reference circle is expanded by a certain angle in the transverse and longitudinal directions to the inlet direction α , the internal reference circle to the hole outlet part is expanded by an angle γThe tapering, the expanding in the spanwise direction, the inner reference circle is located at 1 / 2 of the hole center axis and is perpendicular to the hole center axis, the hole outlet is a rounded rectangle. A transverse slot is arranged at the outlet position of the film hole, and the structure is arranged as a double ladder structure at the downstream slot wall. The ladder close to the slot bottom is called the first ladder, and the outer shape structure is a rectangle. The surface along the slot height direction is perpendicular to the slot bottom. The ladder close to the incoming flow is called the second ladder, and the outer surface is a circular arc surface. The tangent line at the lowest point is perpendicular to the surface of the first ladder, and the tangent line at the highest point is coincident with the wall surface. The spanwise width of the ladder is the same as the spanwise width of the transverse slot, and the spanwise width of the structure is 2.5 D 3.5 D The upstream slot height is 1 D 2 D The downstream first ladder height is 0.5 D 1 D The first ladder width along the main flow direction is 0.5 D 1 D The radius of the second ladder circular arc is 0.5 D 1 D . Wherein D is the diameter of the film hole.

[0007] Further, the ladder structure is located in the downstream region of the corresponding slotted film hole.

[0008] Further, the ladder structure is a symmetrical structure in the spanwise width, and the spanwise width is the same as the spanwise width of the transverse slot.

[0009] Further, the film hole is a shaped hole with an inlet expansion.

[0010] Further, the film hole arranged on the wall surface is a shaped hole with an inlet expansion, and the expansion angle α is 5° ~ 15°, and the included angle β between the film hole and the main flow direction is 25° ~ 50°.

[0011] Further, the film hole flow direction tapering angle γ close to the slot side is 5° ~ 10°, the rounded rectangle length is 1.5 D 2 D , and the spanwise expansion angle is determined by the rounded rectangle length of the outlet.

[0012] Further, the circular arc of the second ladder is a quarter of a circle, and the tangent line at the highest point is coincident with the wall surface and smoothly transitions, and the tangent line at the lowest point is perpendicular to the surface of the first ladder.

[0013] As described above, the cooling structure involved in the utility model can achieve the following effects: the large inlet section can make the cooling airflow more easily flow into the hole, and the gradually tapered structure can accelerate the jet flow to some extent and improve its aerodynamic performance. The outlet is gradually tapered in the flow direction and gradually expanded in the spanwise direction. This structure can weaken the momentum of the jet flow in the lateral direction, reduce the mixing with the main flow, and maintain the aerodynamic performance under the condition of spanwise expansion of the flow passage. The stepped slot structure is arranged in the downstream area of the outlet position, which further increases the spanwise flow of the jet flow in the stepped slot structure. Under the pressure of the main flow, the spanwise distribution of the jet flow is more uniform, which increases the spanwise coverage area of the downstream gas film. At the same time, when the jet flow passes through the circular arc surface of the second step, the Coanda effect occurs, which reduces the upward lifting of the jet flow, weakens the mixing effect of the outlet flow of the gas film hole and the main flow, and effectively improves the stability of the downstream gas film, thereby improving the efficiency of the gas film cooling.
