Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas turbine technology, in particular, to a gas turbine blade. BACKGROUND

[0002] The inlet temperature of the gas turbine is very high, and the excessively high temperature has a great influence on the service life of the turbine blade and the mechanical properties of the material. In order to reduce the temperature of the blade, gas film holes are generally processed on the surface of the blade for cooling. The most commonly used hole type for discrete hole gas film cooling is cylindrical hole or profiled hole. This hole type has the advantages of simple structure, no influence on blade strength, easy to process, etc., and is widely used in gas turbine blades. However, with the gradual increase of the inlet temperature of the turbine, the disadvantages of discrete holes gradually appear, such as low cooling effect, small gas film coverage area, easy to blow off the wall under high blowing ratio, large mixing loss, etc. The use of slot-type gas film holes can effectively reduce the separation of gas film cooling gas and the wall, but since the long slot is processed along the wall, it is easy to cause the structural strength of the blade wall to be weakened, reducing the service life of the blade.

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the prior art, such as CN119373558A, proposes a discrete gas film cooling structure combined with holes and slots and a turbine blade. The discrete gas film cooling structure comprises: a plurality of cold gas inlets, each cold gas inlet comprising at least two discrete distributed gas film holes, the diameter of the gas film hole being smaller than the diameter of the cross section of the standard cylindrical hole, and the gas film hole being used for passing in cold gas; each gas film hole is sequentially connected with a straight section cold gas channel and an expansion section cold gas channel; wherein, the expansion section cold gas channels corresponding to the adjacent gas film holes in each cold gas inlet are penetrated by a connecting structure plane at a predetermined distance from the outlet end, forming a slot type structure at the outlet end, and the expansion section cold gas channel and the slot type structure are used to expand the coverage width of the ejected cold gas. This technical solution can significantly expand the outlet gas film coverage width and form a multi-peak gas film form at the outlet, significantly improving the gas film cooling effect without increasing the amount of cold gas. For example, CN115045720A proposes a turbine blade leading edge gas film cooling structure, which comprises a blade leading edge and a plurality of gas film holes with an equivalent diameter D arranged on the blade leading edge. The plurality of gas film holes are slot-type holes, and the plurality of gas film holes comprise a plurality of circumferential gas film hole rows. Among the plurality of circumferential gas film hole rows, the circumferential gas film hole row closest to the stagnation line of the blade leading edge, the offset distance S between the center line of each gas film hole and the stagnation line of the blade leading edge, and the equivalent diameter D of the gas film hole satisfy the following numerical relationship: S = 0.5D - 1.0D.

[0004] However, the prior art solutions cannot completely solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0027] Example According to one aspect of the present invention, a gas turbine blade, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the blade includes a blade wall 1, an internal chamber, a plurality of first film gas holes 2, and at least one grooved film gas hole 3. The internal chamber is located inside the blade. The blade also includes a gas collecting chamber 4. The first film gas holes 2, the grooved film gas holes 3, and the gas collecting chamber 4 are all located on the blade wall 1. The gas collecting chamber 4 is fluidly connected to the internal chamber through the plurality of first film gas holes 2, and the gas collecting chamber 4 is fluidly connected to the outside of the blade through at least one grooved film gas hole 3.

[0028] It should be noted here that the fluid connectivity refers to connecting different containers or devices through pipes, pipelines, etc., to realize the transmission and distribution of fluids such as gases or liquids; in such a connectivity system, fluids such as gases or liquids can flow from one container to another or from one device to another under the action of pressure difference.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cooling airflow flows from the internal chamber through the first air film hole 2, the air collection chamber 4, and the grooved air film hole 3 to the outside of the blade.

[0030] Each of the first air film pores 2 is a pore structure with an equal cross-sectional area. Preferably, as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, the cross-section of the first air film hole 2 is elliptical.

[0031] In other embodiments, the first gas film hole 2 may also be a gradually widening hole or a gradually narrowing hole along the direction of gas flow in the gas turbine gas flow channel.

[0032] The distance between two adjacent first air film holes 2 is 1-1.5 times the maximum inner diameter of the first air film hole 2. Preferably, the distance between two adjacent first air film holes 2 is 1.2 times the maximum inner diameter of the first air film hole 2.

[0033] The flow area of ​​the grooved air film orifice 3 is no greater than 1.2 times the total flow area of ​​all the first air film orifices 2. Preferably, the flow area of ​​the grooved air film orifice 3 is less than the total flow area of ​​all the first air film orifices 2.

[0034] It should be noted that the distance between two adjacent first gas film holes 2 refers to the distance between the cross-sectional centers of two adjacent first gas film holes. The flow area refers to the minimum cross-sectional area actually passed by the fluid flow in the passage.

[0035] The vane further comprises a gas collection groove 5 on the outer side of the vane wall 1 and a cover plate 6 on the outer side of the vane wall 1, the cover plate 6 covering a part of the gas collection groove 5, and the gas collection cavity 4 being located between the cover plate 6 and the bottom surface of the gas collection groove 5. The bottom surface of the gas collection groove 5 and the inner side of the cover plate 6 are both flat, the bottom surface of the gas collection groove 5 and the inner side of the cover plate 6 are parallel, and the height of the gas collection cavity 4 along the normal direction of the bottom surface of the gas collection groove 5 is constant.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-5 First, the gas collection groove 5 is processed on the outer side of the vane wall, and the first gas film hole 2 is punched on the gas collection groove 5, the cover plate 6 covers the gas collection groove 5 to form the gas collection cavity 4, and the cover plate 6 is welded with the vane wall 1 at the edge directly above the outlet of the first gas film hole 2, and the outer side of the cover plate 6 is flush with the outer side of the vane wall.

[0037] In other embodiments, the vane can not include the gas collection groove 5 and the cover plate 6, and the gas collection cavity 4, the first gas film hole 2, and the slot-shaped gas film hole 3 and other structures are realized by 3D printing technology.

[0038] The depth of the gas collection groove 5 accounts for 10% to 50% of the thickness of the vane wall 1 at the corresponding position. Preferably, the depth of the gas collection groove 5 accounts for 15% of the thickness of the vane wall 1 at the corresponding position.

[0039] The provision of the gas collection cavity can significantly reduce the turbulence degree of the gas flow outlet, and ensure the stability of the subsequent cold gas flow. The bottom surface area of the gas collection cavity 4 should be larger than the area of the cold gas inlet to ensure the gas collection effect. Specifically, the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of first gas film holes 2 near one end of the gas collection cavity 4 accounts for 30% to 50% of the bottom surface area of the gas collection groove 5. Preferably, the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of first gas film holes 2 near one end of the gas collection cavity 4 accounts for 40% of the bottom surface area of the gas collection groove 5, which can achieve better gas collection effect.

[0040] The slot-shaped gas film hole 3 is located between the side wall of the gas collection groove 5 and the cover plate 6. From one end close to the gas collection cavity 4 to one end close to the outside of the vane, the slot-shaped gas film hole 3 is inclined to the direction of the gas flow in the gas turbine gas flow passage. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-4As shown, the side wall of the gas collecting groove 5 and the side of the cover plate 6 forming the slot-shaped film hole 3 are inclined to the direction of the gas flow in the gas turbine gas flow passage from the end close to the inner chamber to the end close to the outer part of the blade.

[0041] In other embodiments, the slot-shaped film hole 3 is located on the cover plate 6, and the slot-shaped film hole 3 penetrates the cover plate 6 and fluidly communicates the outer part of the blade and the gas collecting cavity 4. Specifically, one cover plate 6 can be provided with a plurality of slot-shaped film holes 3 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] The first film hole 2 is inclined to the direction of the gas flow in the gas turbine gas flow passage from the end close to the inner chamber to the end close to the gas collecting cavity 4. Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figures 1-4 The inclination direction of the first film hole 2 is consistent with the inclination direction of the slot-shaped film hole 3.

[0043] The above technical solutions of the present application at least achieve the following technical effects: 1. In the present application, the gas collecting cavity is arranged in the blade wall, and the first gas hole and the slot-shaped gas hole are communicated through the gas collecting cavity, which improves the inlet gas flow stability of the slot-shaped film hole, the outlet flow is more stable, and the cold gas coverage effect is guaranteed.

[0044] 2. In the present application, the first film hole with a hole structure is combined with the slot-shaped film hole, which improves the cooling efficiency of the film hole while ensuring the strength of the blade.

[0045] 3. In the present application, the spacing between the first gas holes is small, the cooling is uniform, and the stress concentration problem caused by the large temperature difference of different parts of the blade is avoided.

[0046] 4. In the present application, the first film hole and the slot-shaped film hole can be machined respectively, which avoids machining special-shaped hole structure, and the shapes of the first film hole and the slot-shaped film hole are relatively simple, without machining precision problems, greatly reducing the machining difficulty.
