Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of tandem rotor blade assembly design for aero-engine compressors, specifically relating to an assembly structure and method for tandem rotor blades of aero-engine compressors. Background Technology

[0002] The tandem rotor technology for compressors in aero-engines involves dividing the rotor blades on the rotor disk into two rows with different blade profiles to increase the single-stage pressure ratio of the compressor, reduce the number of stages, and achieve a high thrust-to-weight ratio in aero-engines. Its configuration is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] Currently, in aero-engine compressor tandem rotor blades, the front and rear rows of rotor blades are integrally formed on the rotor disk. In order to ensure high performance, the front and rear rows of rotor blades need to be designed with a small gap, which makes it difficult to guide the tool and the tool path is complex, resulting in low yield in machining and manufacturing.

[0004] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies.

[0005] It should be noted that the above background information is only used to assist in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and it does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this application.

[0017] The lower edge plates at the root of the rear rotor blades are sequentially inserted through the notch into the annular groove formed on the rear side of the outer edge of the rotor disk, and pressed together in the circumferential direction.

[0018] The block is placed at the opening and abuts against the lower edge plate of the rear rotor blades on both sides to circumferentially stop the rear rotor blades. It also presses against the lower edge plate at the root of the rear rotor blades directly opposite the opening to radially position the rear rotor blades and axially position them.

[0019] This application has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] This invention provides an assembly structure and method for tandem rotor blades in an aero-engine compressor. The design features only the front row of rotor blades formed on the rotor disk, while the rear row of rotor blades are assembled by means of notches into annular grooves on the outer edge of the rotor disk.
