DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , a gas turbine rotor locking structure, comprising: a locking nut module 10 and a turbine rotor shaft module 20, wherein the locking nut module and the turbine rotor shaft module are connected via a thread 201 connecting the turbine rotor shaft and the nut; The locking nut module comprises a nut 3, a stopper cylinder 6, a spring 7, a retaining ring 8 and a snap ring 9. The stopper cylinder and the nut are connected via a spline 203 connecting the stopper cylinder and the nut. The spring is sleeved on the stopper cylinder, and the retaining ring is sleeved on the stopper cylinder and fixed via the snap ring. The retaining cylinder is provided with a thread 204 for connecting with a tool.

[0014] The turbine rotor shaft module comprises a turbine rotor shaft 2 and a bushing 4 , and the transparent rotor shaft is connected to the bushing via a pin 5 .

[0015] The stop cylinder and the bushing are connected via a spline 202 connecting the stop cylinder and the bushing.

[0016] The end surface of the nut is provided with a slot 205 for tightening.

[0017] Working principle: Install the stop cylinder component 6 in the nut component 3, and then install the spring component 7, the retaining ring component 8, and the clamping ring component 9 to form an independent locking nut module component 10.

[0018] The bushing member 4 is installed in the rotor member 2 and fixed with the pin member 5 to form a turbine rotor shaft module member 20.

[0019] When installing the rotor, first pass the turbine rotor shaft module component 20 through the low-pressure rotor component 1 and fix it with the spline 101.

[0020] When installing the nut, first connect the nut module 10 to the member 20 through the thread 201, and screw it until the stop cylinder member 6 and the liner member 4 are about to contact (see Figure 4 ). Use a tool to connect the thread 204 on the stopper cylinder member 6, and compress the spring member 7 at the same time, so that the stopper cylinder is completely retracted into the nut member 10 (see Figure 5 ), to prevent the stopper sleeve 6 from locking with the spline 202 of the liner sleeve 4. At this time, tighten the nut to fix the compressor rotor and the turbine rotor shaft (see Figure 6 ). Remove the tool connecting the stopper sleeve 6, restore the spring member 6 to its original length, and push the stopper sleeve 6 to fix the spline of the liner member 4 (see Figure 1 ).

[0021] When disassembling, first connect the stop cylinder with a tool, compress the spring, and disengage the stop cylinder from the bushing to unlock the nut.

[0022] Alternative solution: The bushing of part 4 and the pin of part 5 which are installed in conjunction with it can be eliminated, and the spline 202 on the retaining ring can be directly machined on the rotor 2.
