[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 11 One specific embodiment of the rotor and stator assembly structure shown includes: stator 1, sealing ring 3, rotor 7, and connecting assembly.
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the stator 1 is annular, with multiple mounting grooves 2 spaced apart on its inner ring. The diameter of the inner ring of the stator 1 is Φ1, ensuring that the movement of the stator 1 is within a safe range. The mounting grooves 2 are radially arranged slots, and the multiple mounting grooves 2 are evenly distributed, with a maximum number of six. The sealing ring 3 is annular, with the inner ring of the sealing ring 3 being the sealing part 4 and the outer ring of the sealing ring 3 being the base part 5; the base part 5 does not bear wear, while the sealing part 4 is wear-resistant. The base part 5 overlaps with the inner ring of the stator 1; the base part 5 has through holes 6 that are adapted to the mounting grooves 2 on the stator 1, and the number of through holes 6 is the same as the number of mounting grooves 2. The sealing parts 4 are spaced around the rotor 7; the gap between the sealing parts 4 and the rotor 7 is Δ2. The connecting assembly partially penetrates the through hole 6 and the mounting groove 2, assembling the sealing ring 3 to the stator 1. The connecting assembly is adapted to adjust the connection length to adjust the axial clearance Δ3 between the stator 1 and the sealing ring 3 along the rotor 7 axis, such that Δ3 is half of Δ2. The diameter of the inner annular ring of the sealing ring 3 is R1, and the radius of the rotor 7 is R2.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 10 As shown, the connecting assembly includes: sleeves 8, rivets 9, and washers 10. The number of sleeves 8 is the same as the number of mounting slots 2. A portion of the sleeve 8 penetrates the through hole 6 and the mounting slot 2, and one end of the sleeve 8 is provided with a first step; an axial clearance Δ3 is formed between the inner end of the first step and the end face of the stator 1, as shown. Figure 10As shown; or an axial gap Δ3 is formed between the stator 1 and the sealing ring 3, such as Figure 9 As shown. Due to the axial clearance Δ3 between the sealing ring 3 and the stator 1, when the entire rotor and stator assembly structure undergoes maneuvering flight with the aero-engine and aircraft, the sealing ring 3 will move backward, and the structure at this time will be as follows. Figure 10 As shown. The rivet 9 penetrates the sleeve 8, and the cap end of the rivet 9 contacts the outer end of the first step; the riveting end of the rivet 9 contacts the other end of the sleeve 8. The washer 10 is sleeved on the sleeve 8, and the washer 10 is located between the riveting end of the rivet 9 and the outer end face of the base portion 5 of the sealing ring 3. The assembly structure of the rotor and stator is adapted to obtain a compliant axial clearance Δ3 by grinding the other end face of the sleeve 8. The rivet 9 is used to axially limit the sealing ring 3 and the stator 1. The washer 10 is used to protect the sealing ring 3.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the inner end of the washer 10 is connected to the base portion 5 of the sealing ring 3 by spot welding; the outer end of the washer 10 is connected to the riveting end of the rivet 9 by spot welding.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, three inclined grooves 11 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the washer 10. One inclined groove 11 is suitable for indicating the position of the spot welding connection between the outer end of the washer 10 and the riveting end of the rivet 9; the other two inclined grooves 11 are suitable for indicating the position of the spot welding connection between the inner end of the washer 10 and the base portion 5 of the sealing ring 3.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a gap Δ1 is reserved between the bottom end of the sleeve 8 and the mounting groove 2, and Δ1 is equal to Δ2.
[0050] Furthermore, during the manufacturing process, the dimensions and positions of parts inevitably have certain tolerance ranges, resulting in the amount of movement and clearance during assembly not necessarily equal to the theoretical estimate. Therefore, as... Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, when the radial movement of the sealing ring 3 after assembly is too small, the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 8 is ground to increase the gap Δ4 between the sleeve 8 and the through hole 6 on the base part 5, thereby obtaining the radial movement between the sealing ring 3 and the stator 1. The Δ4 is not less than 1 / 5 of Δ2; the radial movement is twice Δ2.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stator 1 is an annular cascade.
[0052] Specifically, the sealing part 4 is a honeycomb component or a wear-resistant coating.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, by controlling the width L1 of the mounting groove 2 and the distance L2 between the bottom of the mounting groove 2 and the center of symmetry of the stator 1, a radial margin is reserved between the rotor 7 and the stator 1.
[0054] In the specific assembly process: First, the annular blade, sealing ring 3, and sleeve 8 are stacked together in sequence, as follows: Figures 8 to 10 As shown, there is a reserved gap Δ1 between the sleeve 8 and the annular blade. Spot welding is performed between the sealing ring 3 and the washer 10. Spot welding is performed at two of the three circumferential positions of the inclined groove 11 on the washer 10, with the spot welding positions of each washer 10 being consistent. The rivet 9 is inserted into the sleeve 8, and the riveting procedure is performed to ensure that the axial gap Δ3 between the sealing ring 3 and the annular blade is qualified. If Δ3 is too large, the left end face of the sleeve 8 is ground; if Δ3 is too small, a new sleeve 8 is replaced. Spot welding is performed between the riveting end of the rivet 9 and the washer 10. The spot welding position is the third inclined groove 11 of each washer 10. After spot welding, the sealing ring 3, sleeve 8, washer 10, and rivet 9 form a mutually fixed assembly. The sealing ring 3 is manually moved to check the radial movement of the sealing ring 3 relative to the inner ring of the annular blade. If the radial movement is qualified, the entire assembly is complete. If the radial movement is not up to standard, remove rivet 9, grind the outer circumferential surface of sleeve 8 to increase the fitting clearance Δ4, replace rivet 9 with a new one, and reassemble until the radial movement is up to standard. Manually checking the radial movement of sealing ring 3 is actually simulating the adaptive range and state of the clearance between rotor 7 and stator 1 during operation.
[0055] Or, specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, and with reference Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a custom bolt 12 and a nut. The nut can be a self-locking nut. A portion of the custom bolt 12 passes through the through hole 6 and the mounting groove 2. One end of the custom bolt 12 has a second step 13; the other end of the custom bolt 12 is a threaded end. An axial clearance Δ3 is formed between the inner end of the second step 13 and the end face of the stator 1, or an axial clearance Δ3 is formed between the stator 1 and the sealing ring 3. The nut is installed on the threaded end of the custom bolt 12. The assembly structure of the rotor and stator is adapted to obtain the required axial clearance Δ3 by grinding the inner end face of the second step 13. A threaded stop 14 is provided at the threaded end to limit the nut.
[0056] The rotor and stator assembly structure of this application has been applied to the hot end of an aero-engine and has undergone component comparison measurement tests and thousands of hours of aero-engine whole-engine evaluation tests. The test results prove that the gap between the rotor 7 and stator 1 of this application can be adaptively adjusted, the scheme is feasible, the test results meet the requirements and are in line with expectations.
[0057] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
