Description

Technical Field

[0001] At least one embodiment of this disclosure relates to a blade adjustment mechanism, and more particularly to a blade adjustment mechanism and a compressor. Background Technology

[0002] The compressor is one of the important components of a gas turbine. In order to improve the compressor's off-design performance, expand its stable operating range, and prevent compressor stall and surge problems, a portion of the compressor's stator blades are usually designed as adjustable structures to adjust the stator blades' installation angle.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used blade adjustment mechanisms include stator blades, annular assemblies, connectors, and drive mechanisms. Multiple stator blades are evenly spaced along the radial direction of the housing, and at least some of the axial ends of the stator blades extend out of the housing and are connected to the connectors. The annular assembly is fitted around the outside of the housing along the circumferential direction and is connected to both the connectors and the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the annular assembly to rotate circumferentially around the housing, so that the connectors and stator blades connected to the annular assembly swing synchronously.

[0004] During the rotation of the ring assembly, the connector's degree of freedom is restricted, resulting in some torsional deformation. The inherent rigidity of the connector exerts resistance on the adjustment process, causing inconvenience and limiting the adjustment angle. Prolonged use may also lead to fatigue fracture and damage to the connector. Summary of the Invention

A first rolled edge extending radially; a second rocker arm, one end of which is pivotally disposed within the circumferential surface of the annular assembly, the other end of which forms a second rolled edge extending radially along the casing; and a pivot member rotatably disposed within the first and second rolled edges; wherein, when the annular assembly is rotated from the first position to the second position, the second rocker arm rotates relative to the first rocker arm about a second axis of the pivot member orthogonal to the first axis, and drives the first rocker arm and the stator blade to rotate synchronously about the first axis.

[0007] In one illustrative embodiment, a drive mechanism connected to the annular assembly is further included to drive the annular assembly to rotate between the first position and the second position.

[0011] In one illustrative embodiment, the connection includes: a protrusion formed on the flange, the cross-section of the protrusion along the radial direction of the flange being configured to include an ellipse or a polygon, adapted to engage with the first rocker arm; and a threaded shaft formed at the end of the protrusion away from the flange, adapted to install a first nut to limit the relative position of the first rocker arm and the protrusion.

[0012] In one illustrative embodiment, the first rocker arm is configured as a stepped structure, with a limiting hole at the first end of the first rocker arm suitable for engaging with the protrusion, and the second end of the first rocker arm having the first rolled edge.

[0013] In one illustrative embodiment, the second rocker arm is configured as a sheet-like structure, with a pin-shaped portion suitable for connection with the annular assembly provided on the first surface of the second rocker arm, and a second rolled edge provided on the second surface of the second rocker arm opposite to the first surface, at a position offset from the pin-shaped portion.

[0014] In one illustrative embodiment, the annular assembly includes: a plurality of first arcuate members arranged sequentially along the circumferential direction of the casing; and a plurality of second arcuate members disposed between two adjacent first arcuate members, adapted to connect the two adjacent first arcuate members.

During the rotation of the annular assembly, the second rocker arm swings while rotating relative to the first rocker arm. Because the first and second rocker arms have a degree of freedom of rotation relative to each other, the first and second rocker arms will not twist during the adjustment of the stator blade angle, which is beneficial to improving the adjustment angle of the blade adjusting mechanism and extending the service life of the adjusting mechanism.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an adjustment mechanism according to an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A top view of the connecting component 4 parts of the schematic embodiment shown. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partial cross-sectional view along the AA direction of the connecting component 4 in the schematic embodiment shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the state of the second rocker arm 42 rotating relative to the first rocker arm 41 in an illustrative embodiment.

[0048] In one illustrative embodiment, a plurality of stator blades are evenly spaced along the radial direction on the casing. This disclosure provides a blade adjustment mechanism for adjusting the installation angle of at least a portion of the stator blades.

[0049] This disclosure provides a blade adjustment mechanism, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the blade adjustment mechanism includes multiple stator blades 5 and a transmission mechanism. One end of each stator blade 5 is fitted inside the housing 2 and configured to rotate about a first axis extending radially from the housing 2. The transmission mechanism includes an annular assembly 3 and multiple connecting assemblies 4. Each connecting assembly 4 includes a first rocker arm 41, a second rocker arm 42, and a pivot member 43. The annular assembly 3 is fitted onto the outside of the housing 2 and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position along the circumferential direction of the housing 2. One end of the first rocker arm 41 is fitted onto the outside of a stator blade 5, and the other end forms a first rolled edge 411 extending radially from the housing 2. One end of the second rocker arm 42 is pivotally disposed within the circumferential surface of the annular assembly 3, and the other end forms a second rolled edge 421 extending radially from the housing 2. The pivot member 43 is rotatably disposed within the first rolled edge 411 and the second rolled edge 421. When the annular assembly 3 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second rocker arm 42 rotates relative to the first rocker arm 41 about the second axis of the pivot member 43, which is orthogonal to the first pivot axis, and drives the first rocker arm 41 and the stator blade 5 to rotate synchronously about the first axis. In this embodiment, there is a degree of freedom of relative rotation between the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42. During the rotation of the annular assembly 3, the end of the second rocker arm 42 connected to the annular assembly 3 moves along the circumferential direction of the casing. The end of the second rocker arm 42 on the same side as the first rocker arm 41 rotates relative to the first rocker arm 41 about the pivot member and pulls the first rocker arm 41 to swing. Neither the first rocker arm 41 nor the second rocker arm 42 will twist.

[0050] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, through holes are respectively provided inside the first rolled edge 411 and the second rolled edge 421.

[0051] In detail, pivot 43 includes, but is not limited to, bolts.

[0052] Furthermore, the bolt passes sequentially through the first rolled edge 411 and the second rolled edge 421 from one side of the first rocker arm 41, and is locked by the second nut to limit the relative position of the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42. In such an embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, when the second rocker arm 42 is rotated relative to the first rocker arm 41, the surfaces of the first rolled edge 411 and the second rolled edge 421 on the same side are in contact to prevent relative displacement between the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0053] For example, pivot 43 includes, but is not limited to, a rotation axis.

[0054] For example, a pivot member 43 is formed on the first rolled edge 411 or the second rolled edge 421 and is constructed as a shaft-shaped member, which is fitted into the through hole formed by the second rolled edge 421 or the first rolled edge 411.

[0055] According to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the blade adjustment mechanism also includes a drive mechanism 1 connected to the annular assembly 3, which drives the annular assembly 3 to rotate between the first position and the second position.

[0056] According to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism 1 includes two first supports 11, a torque shaft 13, a drive rod 12, and an actuator 15. The two first supports 11 are located on the outside of the housing 2. The torque shaft 13 is positioned between the two first supports 11 along the axial direction of the housing 2 and is configured to oscillate about an axis parallel to the axial direction of the housing 2 between a third position near the housing 2 and a fourth position away from the housing 2. The two ends of the drive rod 12 are pivotally mounted on the torque shaft 13 and the annular assembly 3, respectively, and are adapted to drive the annular assembly 3 to rotate according to the oscillation angle of the torque shaft 13. The actuator 15 is located on the outside of the housing 2 and pivotally connected to the torque shaft 13, and is adapted to drive the torque shaft 13 to oscillate between the third and fourth positions. When the torque shaft 13 oscillates from the third to the fourth position, it moves relative to the first supports 11 along the axial direction of the housing 2 between a fifth and a sixth position.

[0057] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two first supports 11 are respectively disposed at both ends of the outer wall of the casing 2 (e.g. Figure 1 (The upper and lower ends are shown).

[0058] In detail, the torque shaft 13 includes, but is not limited to, being configured as a crankshaft structure.

[0059] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the crankshaft structure are respectively fitted into the first support 11 on the same side. In this embodiment, the crankshaft body located in the middle rotates eccentrically about the axis of the first support 11 to swing between the third and fourth positions.

[0060] In one illustrative embodiment, the drive rod 12 is configured as a straight-link structure.

[0061] In detail, the direct connecting rod structure is arranged along the tangential direction of the torque shaft 13 and / or the casing 2.

[0062] Furthermore, the two ends of the straight connecting rod structure are pivotally mounted on the outer walls of the annular assembly 3 and the torque shaft 13, respectively.

[0065] Furthermore, each drive rod 12 is disposed on one side of the torque shaft 13. In this embodiment, the torque shaft 13 drives each annular component to rotate in the same direction during a single oscillation. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0066] For example, each annular component has the same outer diameter, and the drive rod 12 is constructed as a fork-shaped structure, with a single connector on one side and multiple connectors on the other side. The single connector is pivotally connected to the outer periphery of the torque shaft 13, and each connector of the multiple connectors is pivotally connected to the outer periphery of an annular assembly 3. This implementation allows the torque shaft 13 to drive multiple annular assemblies 3 to rotate at the same angular velocity during one oscillation.

[0067] According to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the actuating component 15 includes, but is not limited to, the second support 14 and the hydraulic cylinder. The second support 14 is located on the outside of the housing 2. The cylinder body 151 of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally mounted on the second support 14, and the piston rod 152 of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally mounted on the torque shaft 13. The connection position between the piston rod 152 and the torque shaft 13 is provided with a degree of freedom extending along the axial direction of the housing 2.

[0068] In one illustrative embodiment, the second support 14 is disposed on the outer wall of the casing 2.

[0069] Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder is arranged tangentially along the casing 2 and / or the torque shaft 13. In this embodiment, when the piston rod 152 of the hydraulic cylinder is in its stroke phase, it pushes the torque shaft 13 from the fourth position to the third position (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The ring component 3 (as shown, swinging from right to left) rotates to move from the first position to the second position (as shown). Figure 1 As shown, rotate from right to left so that the connecting assembly 4 and the stator blade 5 are moved closer to the torque shaft 13 (as shown). Figure 1 (As shown, in the counterclockwise direction) oscillates; in the return stroke state of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod 152, it pushes the torque shaft 13 from the third position to the fourth position (as shown). Figure 1 The ring component 3 (as shown, rotating from left to right) is used to move from the second position to the first position (as shown). Figure 1 As shown, rotating from left to right, so that the connecting assembly 4 and the stator blade 5 are moved away from the torque axis 13 (as shown).
