Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of low-pressure turbine guide design, and specifically relates to a structure for suppressing the detachment of the low-pressure outer ring block. Background Technology

[0002] During the assembly of a fourth-generation aircraft's low-pressure turbine guide, the outer ring block is prone to detachment during the flipping process, and the sealing strips between the outer ring blocks are easily lost, affecting the engine's quality and test run safety.

[0003] Existing structures such as Figure 1 As shown, the specific disadvantages are as follows:

[0004] (1) The outer ring block of the low-pressure turbine guide is prone to fall off during the disassembly and assembly process, resulting in rework of the assembly.

[0005] (2) After the outer ring block falls off, the sealing piece is easily lost and falls into other parts, affecting the engine assembly quality and performance safety.

[0006] Therefore, how to prevent the low-conductivity outer ring block from falling off is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a structure that suppresses the detachment of low-conductivity outer ring blocks, thereby solving the problem that existing low-conductivity outer ring blocks are prone to detachment.

[0008] The technical solution of this application is: a structure for preventing the low-conductivity outer ring block from detaching, including a low-conductivity housing, an outer ring block, and an anti-detachment ring; the low-conductivity housing and the outer ring block are coaxially arranged and the ends of the low-conductivity housing and the outer ring block are in contact; a sealing plate for sealing is provided between the low-conductivity housing and the outer ring block; the ends of the low-conductivity housing are provided with multiple sets of first bias holes along the circumferential direction, and each set of first bias holes is internally threaded with a connecting bolt;

[0009] The outer ring block is provided with an L-shaped connecting ring at its end. The anti-detachment ring is also L-shaped in cross-section. The anti-detachment ring is placed on the connecting ring and has multiple sets of second offset holes along its circumference. Each set of second offset holes corresponds to a connecting bolt. The connecting bolts are threaded into the second offset holes to fix the low-conductivity casing and the anti-detachment ring to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-detachment ring is fitted with the stop of the connecting ring.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the second bias holes is 96 groups, and the angular deviation between adjacent second bias holes is 3°.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-detachment ring includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, the second offset hole is formed on the vertical plate, and the width of the horizontal plate is much larger than the width of the vertical plate.

[0013] Preferably, the width of the vertical plate is 2mm, and the outer surface of the horizontal plate is flush with the end of the connecting ring.

[0014] Preferably, the outer surface of the anti-detachment ring is manufactured using a knurling process, and the modulus of the knurling is 0.4.

[0015] This application's structure for suppressing the detachment of the low-guide outer ring block effectively prevents the outer ring block from detaching axially, as the anti-detachment ring is supported by the low-guide casing and simultaneously presses against the outer ring block. This avoids the risk of the sealing plate easily falling off and being lost or dropped, preventing the sealing plate from falling into the engine and causing quality accidents and safety hazards. It also reduces the efficiency and cost of assembly disassembly and rework or intentionally removing the outer ring block, greatly improving engine assembly efficiency. The structure is lightweight and can be installed manually. Attached Figure Description
