Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a turbine moving blade suitable for an aero-engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important component of an aero-engine, the turbine moving blade is closely related to the working efficiency of the turbine. In order to ensure the safe operation of the aero-turbine, a certain radial gap is required between the moving blade tip and the static casing. The high-temperature gas from the combustion chamber flows through the radial gap to form a leakage flow. The tip gap leakage increases the flow loss at the gap, resulting in a decrease in the aerodynamic performance of the turbine. On the other hand, the high-temperature gas washes the tip, the tip thermal load increases, and the local overheating phenomenon is prominent, causing the tip to be oxidized and ablated, thereby reducing the safety and reliability of the turbine.

[0003] In view of the large tip gap leakage and tip ablation phenomenon, existing research has improved the shoulder wall modeling and the structure and layout of the film hole. For example, patents CN204552835U and CN217176719U, and the similar patent CN112240228A use an intermittent slot hole to improve the tip cooling effect and the aerodynamic performance after optimizing the rib structure at the blade tip and the layout of the film hole. Patent CN115169032A proposes a turbine blade design method with a tip groove and a winglet composite structure, and patent CN105179022B designs a turbine blade with a rib wing structure at the blade tip, which aims to reduce the tip gap leakage, improve the heat exchange performance of the blade tip, and prolong the working life of the turbine. Although the above-mentioned patents are beneficial to improving the tip gas and heat performance, the tip thermal load is still large and prone to ablation when the turbine inlet temperature exceeds 2000K, which is a difficult problem that needs to be solved for the turbine moving blade. Therefore, it is important to develop a high-efficiency cooling tip structure with high leakage suppression and low blade tip heat exchange.

[0004] The present application takes the GE-E3 high-pressure turbine first-stage moving blade as a prototype, optimizes the discrete film holes at the groove bottom into discrete slits with an inclination angle under the same cold gas outflow area and mass flow, changes the cold gas outflow angle from perpendicular 90° to 20° to the pressure side, and makes an inclined surface cut on the inner wall edge of the pressure side shoulder wall from the leading edge to the trailing edge to the outside of the shoulder wall, and extends the inner wall edge of the suction side shoulder wall from the leading edge to the trailing edge to the inside of the shoulder wall to form a winglet structure. The optimized cooling structure at the blade tip can significantly reduce the tip gap leakage and the thermal load at the blade tip, and improve the gas and heat performance and the working reliability of the turbine.

[0008] The height S of the blade body is 41.0 mm, the chord length C x is 38.2 mm, and the axial chord length C ax is 28.7 mm.

[0009] The height h of the pressure side shoulder wall and the suction side shoulder wall is 1.0% to 5.0% of the height S of the blade body, and the value range is 0.41 to 2.05 mm; the width w of the pressure side shoulder wall and the suction side shoulder wall is 1.0% to 2.0% of the height S of the blade body, and the value range is 0.41 to 0.82 mm.

[0010] The inner wall surface of the pressure side shoulder wall is smoothly cut off from the leading edge to the trailing edge at an inclination angle a of 80° to 85° to form the pressure side shoulder wall section.

[0011] The suction side winglet is located on the inner side of the suction side shoulder wall, the height m is 1 / 2 of the height h of the shoulder wall, the width n is 1.0% to 2.0% of the height S of the blade body, and the value range is 0.41 to 0.82 mm, and the suction side winglet is obtained by linearly scanning from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the suction side shoulder wall.

[0012] The distance δ of the discrete slot to the inner wall edge of the pressure side shoulder wall is 1.0% to 3.0% of the height S of the blade body, and the value range is 0.41 to 1.23 mm; and the distance l of the starting point of the discrete slot to the starting point of the leading edge of the blade body is 5.0% of the axial chord length C ax of the blade body, and the value is 1.435 mm.

[0013] The number of segments of the discrete slot is 3, 4 or 5, if 3, the length p of each discrete slot is 6.20 mm, if 4, the length p of each discrete slot is 4.65 mm, if 5, the length p of each discrete slot is 3.72 mm, the interval between adjacent discrete slots is 1.0 mm; the width d of the discrete slot is in the range of 0.1-0.3 mm, the outflow angle of the cold gas, that is, the angle β between the discrete slot and the groove bottom is in the range of 10-20°, and the depth f of the discrete slot along the outflow direction of the cold gas is in the range of 2.0-3.0 mm.

The cold gas not rolled into the pressure side corner vortex flows up along the wall to the casing, hinders the high-temperature gas from entering the tip clearance and produces the effect of flowing out of the pressure side shoulder wall in the opposite direction, and the inclined section obtained by modifying the inner wall edge of the pressure side shoulder wall promotes the flow of the cold gas to the pressure side shoulder wall, enhances the cold gas coverage effect, and further hinders the inflow of the high-temperature gas on the pressure side shoulder wall. The suction side shoulder wall inner side winglet increases the flow resistance of the leakage flow, the leakage flow forms flow separation on the surface of the suction side shoulder wall, suppresses the tip clearance leakage, and reduces the heat transfer coefficient and thermal load of the tip. Compared with the groove tip, the combination of the groove bottom discrete slot inclined jet structure and the suction side shoulder wall inner side winglet structure can effectively cool the tip, suppress the tip clearance leakage and solve the tip ablation problem.
