Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aeroengines, and in particular to a structure for improving the air tightness between a tenon of an air-cooled turbine blade and a wheel disc. Background Art

[0002] Air-cooled turbine blades of aircraft engines are assembled by inserting the tenons into the tenons of turbine discs. Cold air passes through the cold air channel inside the turbine disc and enters the hole at the bottom of the tenon of the turbine blade to cool the turbine blade. There is a large gap in the radial direction between the bottom of the tenon of the turbine blade and the bottom of the tenon of the turbine disc at this position, which can reach 1.5 to 2.5 mm. Therefore, cold air can leak out from the gap through the side of the wheel disc. In view of this situation, a small sealing sheet structure is added to cover the radial gap between the blade tenon and the wheel disc tenon with minimal improvement to the original wheel disc, blades, and lock plates / baffles, and the sealing sheet is structurally compressed through the blades or lock plates / baffles to seal the cooling air and reduce cooling air leakage. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the air tightness of the existing cooling system by improving the original structure and locally adding sealing devices, effectively reduce the leakage of cooling gas, and reduce the performance loss of turbine components. A structure is specially provided to improve the air tightness between the tenon and the wheel disc of an air-cooled turbine blade.

[0004] The present invention provides a structure for improving the air tightness between the tenon of an air-cooled turbine blade and a wheel disc. Based on the original assembly structure of the air-cooled turbine blade and the wheel disc, a concave sheet sealing structure is added with minimal changes, which can effectively prevent the cooling air drawn out from the turbine disc cooling channel and entering the turbine blade tenon from leaking out from the large gap between the blade tenon and the turbine disc tenon groove.

[0005] The first part is to improve the original wheel disc structure, adjust the wheel rim part along the axis upward or add a part of the boss structure, and adjust the size and the boss size according to the structural thickness of the newly added sealing sheet.

[0006] The second part is the improvement of the original blade tenon structure. The original axial size of the tenon is slightly adjusted, and a fixed sealing plate boss structure is added.

[0007] The third part, the locking plate / fixing ring structure for fixing the blades, is adjusted with the added sealing sheet structure.

[0008] The fourth part is the newly designed sealing sheet, which is adjusted according to the size of the installation structure at the bottom of the tenon. The thickness of the sealing sheet is about 2mm to meet the needs. The specific structure of the front and rear sealing sheets is determined according to the blade tenon.

[0009] The fifth part is to assemble all the parts mentioned above to achieve the effect of sealing the cooling gas.

[0010] Suitable for structures with small improvement space and large gap between turbine blade tenon and wheel disc;

[0011] Simple structural improvements can effectively block the leakage of cooling air from the blade tenon and the wheel tenon groove;

[0012] The invention has wide applicability and can be applied to the improvement of various similar structures to reduce cold air leakage and improve air tightness.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] The structure for improving the air tightness between the tenon and the wheel disc of the air-cooled turbine blade described in the present invention effectively reduces the leakage of cooling air, reduces the mixing of cooling air and fuel gas, and effectively reduces the performance loss of turbine components. Since the overall workload of improved design and modification is small, the overall modification investment is small, the effect is obvious, and the overall cost performance is very high.
