[0027] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.
[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present utility model provides a wound gasket for a gas turbine, including: an inner gasket ring 1, a metal filter screen 11 is installed on one side of the inner gasket ring 1, a ring groove 12 is opened at one end of the inner gasket ring 1, a collar 13 is arranged on the outer surface of the metal filter screen 11, screw holes 33 are opened on the ring groove 12 and the collar 13, and after the collar 13 is installed in the ring groove 12, the collar 13 is fixed in the ring groove 12 by bolts.
[0029] The inner gasket ring 1 is used to fit the internal joint surface of the turbine, providing a preliminary sealing effect, and a metal filter screen 11 is installed outside the inner gasket ring 1 to intercept particles or impurities that may enter the sealing area, preventing these impurities from affecting the sealing effect or damaging mechanical components. When installing the metal filter screen 11, the collar 13 is installed in the ring groove 12, and the collar 13 is fixed in the ring groove 12 by bolts to ensure that the gasket remains fixed during the operation of the gas turbine and will not shift due to vibration or temperature changes.
[0030] The outer surface of the inner gasket ring 1 is provided with a first V surface 14 that cooperates with the metal strip 21 and the graphite strip 22, and a second V surface 15 that cooperates with the V groove 23
[0031] The first V surface 14 is used to directly butt against the V-shaped cross-section of the graphite tape 22. The shape of the first V surface 14 matches the V-shaped cross-section of the winding tape 2, which can increase the contact area, thereby improving the sealing efficiency and reliability. When the gasket is compressed, the close contact between the first V surface 14 and the winding tape 2 helps to form a uniformly distributed pressure field, which is crucial for preventing medium leakage.
[0032] The second V surface 15 cooperates with the V groove 23 between the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22. The shape and size of the second V surface 15 match the V groove 23, so that when the component is subjected to external forces such as thermal expansion or mechanical pressure, it can better absorb and relieve these forces, avoiding damage caused by excessive force concentration. The design of the second V surface 15 also helps to lock the position of the winding tape 2, ensuring the stability and sealing performance during long-term operation.
[0033] The winding tape 2 is formed by alternately winding the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22, and is wound around the outer surface of the inner ring 1 of the gasket. The cross-sections of both the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22 are V-shaped, and a V groove 23 is provided in the middle of the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22. Protrusions 24 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the metal tape 21, and grooves 25 are provided on the inner surface of the graphite tape 22. The metal tape 21 is made of stainless steel, and the graphite tape 22 is made of graphite.
[0034] The metal tape 21 is made of stainless steel, with high strength and good mechanical properties to ensure structural stability in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. The graphite tape 22 is made of graphite. Graphite can withstand extremely high temperatures and is suitable for use in high-temperature environments. It will not easily lose its mechanical properties like some metals. The self-lubricating property of graphite can reduce the friction between moving parts, help reduce wear and extend the service life. Compared with metals, graphite is more flexible and can better absorb and disperse pressure when subjected to external forces. The V-shaped cross-section design of the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22 helps to provide a tighter seal because the V shape can generate a higher sealing contact pressure when compressed, effectively preventing medium leakage. The design of the protrusions 24 on the metal tape 21 cooperates with the grooves 25 on the graphite tape 22 to form a physical interlock, which not only helps to prevent the displacement of the tapes under dynamic conditions but also increases the overall structural stability and prevents the metal tape 21 from falling off during transportation or installation.
[0035] The included angle of the V groove 23 is 65 - 75 degrees, and the included angle between the inner surfaces of the metal tape 21 and the graphite tape 22 is 155 - 165 degrees.
[0036] The included angle of the V groove 23 is designed to be between 65 and 75 degrees, which helps to achieve good sealing contact. Within this angle range, the V groove 23 can effectively cooperate with the corresponding V surface to form a stable locking structure, reducing the possibility of air leakage.
[0037] The protrusion 24 is located within the groove 25. The protrusion 24 is semi-circular or triangular in shape, and the groove 25 is semi-circular or triangular in shape corresponding to the protrusion 24.
[0038] The semi-circular protrusion 24 and groove 25 can provide a smooth contact interface, reduce stress concentration that may be caused by sharp corners, and prevent detachment between the metal strip 21 and the graphite strip 22. The semi-circular design helps to disperse the loading pressure.
[0039] The triangular protrusion 24 and groove 25 can provide more contact points and enhanced insertion stability, effectively prevent sliding between the metal strip 21 and the graphite strip 22, and have good resilience.
[0040] The outer gasket ring 3 is sleeved outside the graphite strip 22. The inner gasket ring 1 is composed of a first outer ring body 31 and a second outer ring body 32 spliced together. Screw holes 33 are provided at both ends of the first outer ring body 31 and the second outer ring body 32. V-grooves 23 that match the outer surface of the graphite strip 22 are provided on the inner walls of the first outer ring body 31 and the second outer ring body 32.
[0041] The inner gasket ring 1 consists of two parts, the first outer ring body 31 and the second outer ring body 32. The segmented design allows for more flexibility during manufacturing and assembly, especially in applications with large or complex shapes. The segmented design also facilitates transportation and replacement because the individual segments are easier to handle and install. V-grooves 23 that match the outer surface of the graphite strip 22 are provided on the inner walls of the first outer ring body 31 and the second outer ring body 32. This V-groove 23 design helps to precisely control and position the graphite strip 22, ensuring that it is correctly located at the required position, increasing the sealing performance and structural stability of the entire gasket.
