Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engine technology, specifically a guide vane and a two-stage high-pressure turbine structure with the guide vane. Background Technology
[0002] A turbine guide vane is an annular stationary blade cascade consisting of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a set of guide vanes. Its function is to convert some of the thermal energy of the airflow into kinetic energy. Although the turbine guide vane is a stationary component, its working conditions are extremely harsh. The blades are surrounded by high-temperature gas flow and are subjected to significant thermal stress during operation. Simultaneously, due to constantly changing operating conditions, it also suffers from thermal fatigue, making it prone to fatigue cracks. In its structural design, it is necessary to ensure that each component has sufficient rigidity and strength to avoid excessive axial movement, while also allowing the components to expand freely in three directions (radial, axial, and circumferential) at high temperatures.
[0003] For multi-stage turbine rotary engines, the interstage guide vane is located between two turbine stages. Due to the significant pressure drop when airflow passes through the guide vane, a reliable sealing structure must be installed between the inner ring of the guide vane and the rotor. The inner ring of the guide vane also requires an interstage sealing structure. The purpose of the sealing structure design is to reduce energy loss caused by leakage, lower engine fuel consumption, improve engine performance, and simultaneously enhance the reliability and durability of turbine components.

[0035] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a guide, located on a casing 2 between the high-pressure turbine rotor high-vortex second-stage disk 110 and high-vortex first-stage disk 100, includes:
[0036] The cold air inlet 1 is installed in the air vent of the casing 2;
[0037] The guide vane 3 has its outer radial end fixedly connected to the casing 2 via an upper edge plate, and its inner radial end connected to the inner ring 5 via a lower edge plate. The guide vane 3 has cooling holes, which are connected to a cooling air inlet 1 via through holes in the upper edge plate and to through holes in the lower edge plate. The upper edge plate is connected to the casing 2 using a hook and pin structure. Cooling air is supplied through the cooling air inlet 1 to cool the guide vane 3. The positioning structure between the lower edge of the guide vane 3 and the inner ring 5 uses a cylindrical pin insertion method.
[0038] The inner ring 5 has a gas collecting ring cavity. The inlet of the gas collecting ring cavity is a circumferentially distributed insertion hole. The lower edge plate is connected to the insertion hole through a circumferentially distributed columnar plug so that the through hole of the lower edge plate is connected to the gas collecting ring cavity. Multiple mounting bosses connecting the side walls of the two gas collecting ring cavities are provided at a radial position of the gas collecting ring cavity. The mounting bosses have mounting holes at their centers. In one embodiment, 36 split mounting boss structures are provided inside the gas collecting ring cavity to ensure the cooling air flow area in the cavity and increase its structural rigidity.
[0039] The honeycomb sealing ring 6 includes a first honeycomb sealing ring 61 and a second honeycomb sealing ring 62. The first honeycomb sealing ring 61 is fixedly installed on the inner ring 5 by bolt fasteners and mounting holes of the mounting boss. The second honeycomb sealing ring 62 is welded to the mounting platform at the end of the inner ring 5.
[0040] Among them, the inner ring 5 has an air intake hole M and a cooling air hole N on the disk surface near the first-stage disk 100 of the high-vortex, and a pre-swirl nozzle hole P that provides cooling air to the front cavity of the second-stage disk 110 of the high-vortex. The inner ring assembly 14, which is formed by combining the inner ring 5 with the honeycomb sealing ring 6, is fixed between the two-stage rotors using tooling, and the connecting fasteners of the two-stage rotors are tightened.
[0041] The interstage sealing ring 4 has a circumferential segmented structure. To prevent high-temperature deformation caused by its contact with the main channel gas, the front end structure is thickened to increase its structural rigidity. At the same time, a sealing groove is set in its circumferential direction and a sealing ring is set in its axial direction to prevent the leakage of the main channel gas caused by the circumferential gap of the interstage sealing ring 4 itself and the axial gap between it and the inner ring 5. The interstage sealing ring 4, the lower edge plate of the guide vane 3, the sealing ring 7 and the lower edge plate of the working blade form a labyrinth-like sealing structure.
[0042] The interstage sealing ring 4 is positioned on the clamping block 11 by countersunk screws 9 and tightened by bolts 12 in two ways on the inner ring 5. The countersunk screws use locking pins 10 to prevent rotation, and the bolts use locking plates 13 to prevent rotation. Its axial positioning is in the rectangular groove of the lower edge plate of the guide vane.
[0043] In some alternative embodiments, a sealing device, namely an interstage sealing ring 4, is provided between the lower edge plate and the inner ring 5, wherein the interstage sealing ring 4 is fixed to the inner ring 5 by fasteners.
[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the fasteners include countersunk screws 9 and bolts 12, the countersunk screws 9 positioning the interstage sealing rings 4, and the bolts 12 pressing and fixing the interstage sealing rings 4 by means of clamping blocks 11.
[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the interstage sealing ring 4 has a radially protruding annular boss, and the lower edge plate has an annular groove. The interstage sealing ring 4 is inserted into the annular groove through the annular boss to seal and fix the lower edge plate to the interstage sealing ring 4.
[0046] The interstage sealing ring 4 has a circumferential segmented structure. On the side near the first-stage disk 100 of the high vortex, there is an interstage sealing plate 8 at the gap between two adjacent interstage sealing rings 4 to block the gap. The interstage sealing ring 4 has a deep groove for inserting the interstage sealing plate 8.
[0047] A two-stage high-pressure turbine structure with a guide includes a high-pressure turbine first-stage disk 100, a high-pressure turbine second-stage disk 110, and a guide mounted on the casing 2 and axially positioned between the high-pressure turbine first-stage disk 100 and the high-pressure turbine second-stage disk 110. A sealing disk 120 is installed between the high-pressure turbine first-stage disk 100 and the high-pressure turbine second-stage disk 110, and a baffle 130 is provided on the end face of the high-pressure turbine first-stage disk 100 near the guide.
[0048] The baffle 130 has a first sealing ring b and a second sealing ring c extending axially toward the guide direction, the interstage sealing ring 4 has a third sealing ring a extending axially toward the high vortex first stage disk 100, and the lower edge plate has a fourth sealing ring d extending axially toward the high vortex first stage disk 100. The third sealing ring a is inserted between the first sealing ring b and the second sealing ring c, and the first sealing ring b is inserted between the third sealing ring a and the fourth sealing ring d, forming a first sealing structure.
[0049] The interstage sealing ring 4 has a fifth sealing ring e extending axially toward the high vortex secondary disk 110, a sixth sealing ring g extending axially toward the high vortex secondary disk 110 on the lower edge plate, and a seventh sealing ring f extending axially toward the guide direction on the high vortex secondary disk 110. The seventh sealing ring f is inserted between the fifth sealing ring e and the sixth sealing ring g to form a second sealing structure.
[0050] The sealing disc 120 has a first tooth structure 122 and a second tooth structure 121. The first tooth structure 122 and the first honeycomb sealing ring 61 form a third sealing structure; the second tooth structure 121 and the second honeycomb sealing ring 62 form a fourth sealing structure. The third and fourth sealing structures are used to change the air supply pressure and area of the disc front cavity to achieve axial force balance.
[0051] The first sealing structure, the high vortex first-stage disk 100, the guide and the third sealing structure form a first annular cavity B for cooling the high vortex first-stage disk 100. The air inlet M and the cooling air inlet N introduce the cold air from the gas collecting annular cavity into the first annular cavity B, providing sealing air for the first annular cavity B, preventing the gas at the guide vane from entering the first annular cavity B, and at the same time reducing the working temperature of the components in the first annular cavity B.
[0052] The sealing plate 120 and the high-vortex secondary plate 110 form a second annular cavity A. The second annular cavity A has an air hole facing the pre-rotating nozzle hole P. The pre-rotating nozzle hole P is used to cool the high-vortex secondary plate 110, reduce the air temperature of the second annular cavity A, reduce the cooling air flow loss, and save the amount of cooling air used.
[0053] The third sealing structure, the fourth sealing structure, the guide, and the sealing disk 120 form the third annular cavity D. The sealing disk 120 and the pre-rotating nozzle hole P are all connected to the third annular cavity D.
[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, the cool air in the blade enters the stator cavity of the guide vane and is divided into two streams of gas according to the front and back. One stream of gas is drawn forward, one through hole M to cool the front disk assembly and establish the air pressure seal to the combustion gas, and the other through hole N to cool the front disk assembly. The stream of gas drawn backward provides cool air to the tenon part of the rear blade through the pre-rotation nozzle hole P.
[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
