[0029] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0030] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings, which are meant to be exemplary and not limiting. Figures 1 to 5 The blade seal assembly, turbine and gas turbine according to embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the vane sealing assembly according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a vane set and a sealing member 3. The vane set comprises a first vane rim plate 11 and a second vane rim plate 21, the first vane rim plate 11 is provided with a first groove 111, the second vane rim plate 21 is provided with a second groove 211, at least part of the first groove 111 is opposite to the second groove 211. One end of the sealing member 3 is arranged in the first groove 111, the other end of the sealing member 3 is arranged in the second groove 211, the sealing member 3 has a protruding part 33, the protruding part 33 is arranged between the first vane rim plate 11 and the second vane rim plate 21, the protruding part 33 protrudes along the thickness direction (such as the inner-outer direction in the figure) and has elasticity. Figure 2

[0032] It can be understood that the vane set comprises a first vane 1 and a second vane 2, the first vane 1 and the second vane 2 are arranged along the circumference of the turbine body. The first vane rim plate 11 is arranged on the first vane 1, and the second vane rim plate 21 is arranged on the second vane 2. The gap between the first vane rim plate 11 and the second vane rim plate 21 is sealed by the sealing member 3.

[0033] The vane sealing assembly according to the embodiment of the present application, by arranging one end of the sealing member 3 in the first groove 111, arranging the other end of the sealing member 3 in the second groove 211, and arranging the protruding part 33 of the sealing member 3 between the first vane rim plate 11 and the second vane rim plate 21, the protruding part 33 protrudes along the thickness direction and has elasticity, so that when the first vane rim plate 11 and the second vane rim plate 21 are heated and expanded, the elastic protruding part 33 can be elastically deformed, thereby avoiding the problem that the sealing member 3 is deformed by extrusion or subjected to shear force and fails. Therefore, the structure design of the vane sealing assembly of the embodiment of the present application is reasonable, the sealing effect is good, and the reliability is high.

[0034] It can be understood that the inventors of the present application found through experimental research that when the vane rim plate is heated and expanded, the circumferential gap is reduced, the width of the sealing groove is reduced, the sealing member 3 is at risk of being extruded, and the sealing member 3 fails. When the gas turbine starts, the holding ring expands quickly, causing the vane circumferential gap to increase, and when the circumferential gap increases to a certain extent, the sealing member 3 is at risk of being pulled out from one side of the sealing groove. The adjacent two vanes are unevenly heated, the rim plate has inconsistent radial deformation, the sealing member 3 is subjected to shear, and the sealing member 3 is torn, resulting in failure of the sealing function. The vane sealing assembly of the embodiment of the present application can prevent the problem of tearing of the sealing member 3 caused by inconsistent deformation of the adjacent two vane rim plates, and can prevent the problem of extrusion deformation of the sealing member 3 caused by the reduction of the circumferential gap between the vane sets, while ensuring that the sealing member 3 is not easily pulled out of the sealing groove, which is conducive to safe operation of the turbine.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in​Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the seal 3 comprises a first sealing section 31 and a second sealing section 32, the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the protruding part 33, the first sealing section 31 is arranged in the first groove 111, the first sealing section 31 is elastic and can stretch and contract along the depth direction of the first groove 111, the second sealing section 32 is arranged in the second groove 211, the second sealing section 32 is elastic and can stretch and contract along the depth direction of the second groove 211. Since the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 are elastic and can respectively move along the depth direction of the first groove 111 and the second groove 211, the seal 3 can have a certain elastic stretching amount, which can avoid the problem of tearing of the seal 3 caused by the uncoordinated deformation of the adjacent two blade edge plates, and improve the reliability of the seal 3 in use.

[0036] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The first sealing section 31 is provided with a plurality of first sealing teeth 311, and the plurality of first sealing teeth 311 are arranged along the depth direction of the first groove 111. The second sealing section 32 is provided with a plurality of second sealing teeth 321, and the plurality of second sealing teeth 321 are arranged along the depth direction of the second groove 211. It can be understood that since the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 are both provided with tooth-like structures, the sealing effect of the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 will not be affected, and the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 can have good elastic deformation effect, thereby improving the reliability of the seal 3 in use.

[0037] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The protruding directions of the first sealing teeth 311 and the second sealing teeth 321 are consistent with the protruding direction of the protruding part 33. It can be understood that the first sealing teeth 311, the second sealing teeth 321 and the protruding part 33 all protrude outward along the radial direction of the blade group, so that under the action of the pressure difference on both sides, the lower edge of the seal 3 forms a line contact or a surface contact with the bottom surface of the first groove 111 and the second groove 211, which can make the seal 3 have a good sealing effect with the first blade edge plate 11 and the second blade edge plate 21.

[0038] Optionally, at least one of the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 is provided with a honeycomb hole. For example, the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 are both provided with a honeycomb hole, so that the first sealing section 31 and the second sealing section 32 can be simply manufactured and have good use effect.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, the sealing member 3 further comprises a limiting portion 312, which is arranged at one end of the first sealing segment 31 away from the protruding portion 33. A limiting groove 112 is arranged on the first blade rim plate 11, and the limiting portion 312 is fitted in the limiting groove 112 to limit the first sealing segment 31 from being separated from the first groove 111 along the depth direction of the first groove 111. For example, the limiting portion 312 is a bent hook or a spherical protrusion. The embodiment of the present application can avoid the problem of the sealing member 3 being separated from the first groove 111 by arranging the sealing member 3 in the above structure, thereby improving the reliability of the connection of the sealing member 3 and prolonging the service life of the sealing member 3.

[0040] It can be understood that, when the sealing member 3 is installed, the sealing sheet can be slid into the designed position from the air inlet side or the air outlet side through the first groove 111 and the second groove 211 after the installation of the blade group is completed. The limiting portion 312 forms a surface contact with the limiting groove 112, and under the action of the pressure difference on both sides, the lower edge of the sealing member 3 forms a line contact or a surface contact with the bottom surface of the first groove 111 and the second groove 211. In this way, the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the sealing member 3 are limited by the first groove 111 and the second groove 211, and the axial direction of the sealing member 3 can be fixed to the blade rim plate at one end by spot welding.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the protruding portion 33 comprises a first vertical segment 331, a curved segment 333 and a second vertical segment 332. One end of the first vertical segment 331 is connected with the first sealing segment 31, the other end of the first vertical segment 331 is connected with the curved segment 333, one end of the second vertical segment 332 is connected with the second sealing segment 32, the other end of the second vertical segment 332 is connected with the curved segment 333, the first vertical segment 331 and the second vertical segment 332 are arranged in parallel and are arranged in a substantially orthogonal manner with respect to the first sealing segment 31 and the second sealing segment 32, and the outer peripheral contour of the cross section of the curved segment 333 is arc-shaped. For example, the arc can be a superior arc or an inferior arc. The embodiment of the present application can make the elastic deformation effect of the sealing member 3 better and the reliability of the sealing higher by arranging the protruding portion 33 of the sealing member 3 in the above structure.

[0042] Optionally, the material of the sealing member 3 needs to have good low-cycle fatigue resistance, so as to prolong the service life of the sealing member 3 and reduce the replacement cycle of the sealing member 3.
