[0002] The static blade slot is an important component of the turbine, mainly used for installing the static blade of the cylinder. The static blade can convert high-speed airflow into high-pressure energy to push the turbine to rotate, thereby generating power. The static blade slot is usually made of steel plate and has a shape similar to a pipe, with a protrusion inside, which not only firmly fixes the static blade, but also keeps the air duct of the cylinder unobstructed to avoid airflow obstruction.
