Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the compressor test of a heavy-duty gas turbine, it is necessary to monitor the tip clearance of each stage of moving blades to prevent tip rubbing and ensure the safe progress of the gas turbine test. During the test, as the rotational speed, pressure ratio, and test duration increase, the radial clearance at the tip of the same stage of moving blades varies inconsistently in each direction. For example, the radial clearance at the bottom of the rotor decreases, while the radial clearance at the top increases; there are many possible reasons for this phenomenon. For example, transient thermal deformation of the cylinder rotor, bearing clearance changes, bearing oil film thickness changes, misalignment between the rotor and the cylinder, etc.; if there is no measure to adjust the radial tip clearance, the gas turbine test may not be able to be carried out under working conditions with a relatively high risk due to the tip clearance being less than the safe range. For example, it is impossible to collect test data at high pressure ratio points simultaneously.

[0003] In the patent document CN204783130U, a retaining ring structure and a gas turbine are disclosed, which include several fan-shaped retaining ring segments. Each retaining ring segment is provided with a mounting post, and the mounting post is connected with a fixing structure; the fixing structure includes a support cylinder, a bolt and a nut. The support cylinder is a two-stage stepped cylinder. Among them, the diameter of the first-stage stepped cylinder is larger than that of the second-stage stepped cylinder, and a stop block is provided at the bottom of the second-stage stepped cylinder; the second-stage stepped cylinder is arranged opposite to the mounting post. The bolt passes through the retaining ring segment, the mounting post and the support cylinder in sequence and is fixed by a nut; the nut is fixed inside the first-stage stepped cylinder, and a disc spring is arranged between the nut and the stop block. The disc spring is sleeved on the bolt to solve the problem that the dynamic change of the tip clearance caused by the deformation of the cylinder body needs to be adjusted during the compressor test of the gas turbine.

[0004] In the patent document US10605109B2, a movable air seal for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The system includes an air seal segment located inside the engine casing, which is connected to the air seal segment through a drive link. The drive link passes through the engine casing; the air seal segment is connected to the drive link through a plurality of connection points, and these connection points can be fasteners, bosses or guide studs to realize the radial movement of the air seal segment; the tip clearance control system for the engine casing of a gas turbine engine includes an air seal segment inside the engine casing. The drive link passes through the engine casing, and the drive link is installed on the air seal segment; it does not solve the problem that the dynamic change of the tip clearance caused by the deformation of the cylinder body needs to be adjusted during the compressor test of the gas turbine.
