[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figure 1The diagram shows a typical turbine disk mounting structure 100 in the prior art. The turbine disk 101 has a front cavity 102, a rear cavity 103, and a center cavity 104. Each cavity is isolated, and their ambient temperatures differ significantly. If the temperature difference between the front cavity 102 and the rear cavity 103 is large, it will cause an unfavorable trend where one side of the turbine disk is "stretched" and the other side is "compressed," resulting in increased axial stress on the turbine disk. Similarly, the temperature difference between the center cavity 104 and the other cavities will also lead to increased radial stress. As the engine's operating conditions change, the tensile and compressive stresses will also change, making the use of the turbine disk even more unfavorable.

[0060] To address the thermal stress caused by radial and axial temperature differences in existing turbine disk mounting structures, this application provides a turbine disk core air duct temperature equalization structure, which makes the turbine disk structure more like an isothermal field design, effectively reducing the thermal stress caused by radial and axial temperature differences in the turbine disk.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the turbine disk core bleed air equalization structure 200 provided in this application includes: turbine disk 210, bleed air sleeve 220, limiting wire 230, sealing ring 240, turbine shaft spoke plate 250, sealing damping ring 260, first honeycomb ring 270, second honeycomb ring 280 and graphite ring 290.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the front section of the turbine disk 210 is provided with an L-shaped first mounting edge 211. The radial extension of the first mounting edge 211 is provided with bolt holes 212 for connecting with the turbine shaft spoke plate 220. The axial extension of the first mounting edge 211 is provided with a first air vent 213, which can introduce ambient air from the outside of the turbine disk into the center of the turbine disk.

[0063] The rear section of the turbine disk 210 is provided with an axially extending mounting ring 214. The mounting ring 214 has a second air duct 215, which can introduce ambient air from the disk core into the rear position of the turbine disk. The outer inner surface of the second air duct 215 on the mounting ring 214 has an anti-rotation boss 216, which can be interleaved with the anti-rotation boss mounting groove 222 on the air duct sleeve 220 to achieve circumferential anti-rotation function. Furthermore, the outer inner surface of the anti-rotation boss 216 on the mounting ring 214 has a semi-circular groove 217 for mounting the limiting screw, which can be used in conjunction with the inner mounting groove 223 and the limiting screw on the air duct sleeve 220 to achieve axial positioning of the air duct sleeve 220 and the turbine disk 210.

[0064] like Figure 4As shown, the front section (i.e., the left side) of the bleed air sleeve 220 is provided with circumferentially spaced bleed air support platforms 224, which can overlap with the bottom of the turbine disk to ensure that the bleed air sleeve 220 does not undergo large harmful deformation during operation. At the same time, it forms a bleed air channel between the bleed air sleeve 220 and the bottom surface of the turbine disk 210, thereby introducing bleed air from the disk core cavity into the disk rear cavity. The rear end of the bleed air sleeve 220 is bent to form an open insertion structure. This open insertion structure is provided with a semi-circular groove 223 for mounting a limiting wire, which has an oblique hole. The limiting wire 230 can be inserted through the oblique hole into the circular groove structure formed by the semi-circular groove 217 for mounting the limiting wire and the semi-circular groove 223 for mounting the limiting wire.

[0065] In this application, in order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the limiting wire 230, the limiting wire 230 can be divided into several segments according to the circumferential length, and the oblique hole positions are matched with the even distribution of the limiting wire 230.

[0066] The open plug structure is further provided with an anti-rotation boss mounting groove 222, which can be assembled with the anti-rotation boss 216 on the mounting ring 214 to realize the circumferential anti-rotation function of the turbine disk 210 and the bleed air sleeve 220.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the outer side of the opening plug structure is provided with a second sealing grate 221, which can form a sealing structure with the second honeycomb ring 280 to isolate the turbine disk rear cavity from other air system chambers.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the limiting wire 230 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the limiting wire mounting groove. Its front end is provided with a thinner insertion guide section 231, and its rear end is provided with a traction section 232, which can be used as a force position during assembly and disassembly.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the sealing ring 240 has a radially extending second mounting edge 241 on its front side, and an axially extending third mounting edge 242 on the second mounting edge 241. The lower part of the second mounting edge 241 has a bolt hole 243 for connecting the sealing ring 240 and the turbine shaft spoke plate 250. The upper front end of the second mounting edge 241 has a pressing surface 244, which axially presses against the rear end face of the turbine shaft spoke plate 250 to prevent leakage of gas from the turbine disk core bleed and other air system chambers.

[0070] A sealing damping ring mounting groove 246 is provided at the rear end of the third mounting edge 242. The sealing damping ring 260 is set in the sealing damping ring mounting groove 246 and forms an overlapping damping structure with the inner ring surface of the bleed air sleeve 220. On the one hand, it can prevent the turbine disk bleed air from interacting and leaking with the gas in other air system chambers. On the other hand, it can reduce the harmful vibration of the thin-walled structure on the bleed air sleeve 220 and the sealing ring 240.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing damping ring 260 may be made of rubber.

[0072] Furthermore, a vent 245 is provided on the upper side of the second mounting edge 241, and the vent 245 is connected to a through hole provided on the turbine shaft spoke plate 250. Based on this, a fourth mounting edge 247 is provided on the second mounting edge 241, which is approximately parallel to the third mounting edge 242. A graphite ring 290 is provided on the fourth mounting edge 247, which can isolate the turbine disk core cavity from other chambers of the air system.

[0073] After assembly, the air system flow path of the front cavity enters the core cavity from the first air inlet 213 on the front side of the turbine disk 210, and is discharged into the rear cavity through the second air inlet 215 on the rear side of the turbine disk 210 along the channel between the turbine disk 210 and the air duct sleeve 220. This achieves the same air source environment for the outer ring, core, front, and rear of the turbine disk, effectively reducing the radial and axial temperature differences of the turbine disk and lowering the thermal stress level of the turbine disk.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the upper side of the turbine shaft spoke 250 is provided with a first grating tooth, which cooperates with the first honeycomb ring 270 to isolate the turbine disk front cavity from other air system chambers.

[0075] The turbine disk core air evacuation temperature equalization structure provided in this application can effectively reduce the radial and axial temperature differences of the turbine disk, reduce the thermal stress level of the turbine disk, and improve the strength reserve of the turbine disk.

[0076] The structure of this application can be applied to low-pressure turbine disk structures, as well as other disk structures, including but not limited to high-pressure turbine disks. The structural scheme of this application can also be applied to the design of other air system chambers.

[0077] 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.
