Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas turbines, in particular to a gas turbine sealing component in a high-temperature environment. Background Art
[0002] The steam seal ring is a key component in gas turbines, primarily responsible for reducing steam (or gas) leakage and thereby improving turbine efficiency. Furthermore, the design and manufacture of the steam seal ring must take into account its high-temperature, corrosion, and wear resistance to withstand the high temperatures, high pressures, and high-speed rotational loads generated during gas turbine operation. These characteristics ensure the steam seal ring's stability and reliability in harsh environments, thereby safeguarding the overall performance and operational safety of the gas turbine.
[0003] During the installation of the steam seal ring, the steam seal parts are generally installed inside the gas turbine by splicing, and multiple steam seal parts are fixed by bolts. However, during this process, the steam seal parts are easily misaligned, which affects the splicing efficiency. In addition, the splicing process is relatively complicated, and the bolts cannot be quickly aligned with the screw holes, which affects the overall installation and disassembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gas turbine sealing assembly for high temperature environments, which can achieve precise alignment between steam seal parts by rotating the connecting plate, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, an arc-shaped sliding groove is provided on the inner ring surface of the arc groove, and the inner side surface of the connecting plate protrudes opposite the sliding groove to form a slider, which is slidably arranged in the sliding groove. A compression spring is installed at one end of the slider, and the other end of the compression spring is installed on the inner wall surface of the sliding groove.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the connecting plates are arranged to be in contact with each other, a plurality of connecting rings are combined to form a connecting ring, and the outer ring surfaces of the connecting plates are arranged flush.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a first screw hole is provided at one end of the connecting plate, a second screw hole is provided on the inner wall surface of the arc groove opposite to the first screw hole, and headless bolts are threadedly connected in the opposite first screw hole and second screw hole.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the compression spring is a high-temperature resistant compression spring.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the width of the connecting plate matches the width of the arc-shaped groove.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model has a simple structure, and after the steam seals are distributed in a ring structure, the splicing of multiple steam seals can be directly completed by rotating the connecting plate, which greatly increases the efficiency; and after rotation, the first screw hole and the second screw hole can be directly opposite to each other, which facilitates the operation of the headless bolt.

[0018] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.
[0020] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. In other words, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the utility model is a gas turbine sealing assembly for high temperature environment, including a steam seal ring composed of multiple steam seal parts 1, the outer ring surface of each steam seal part 1 is provided with an arc groove 4, and multiple arc grooves 4 are combined to form a connecting groove, and a connecting plate 2 with an arc structure is provided in the arc groove 4. Both sides of the arc groove 4 are provided with a limit groove 8, and the limit grooves 8 are connected and combined to form an annular groove. Both sides of the connecting plate 2 protrude opposite the limit groove 8 to form a limit portion 9, and the limit portion 9 is slidably set in the limit groove 8. One end of the connecting plate 2 slides into the arc groove 4 of the adjacent steam seal part 1, and one end of the limit portion 9 also slides into the limit groove 8 of the adjacent steam seal part 1.
[0022] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped slide groove 5 is provided on the inner ring surface of the arc groove 4, and a slider 7 is protruded from the inner side surface of the connecting plate 2 opposite the slide groove 5. The slider 7 is slidably set in the slide groove 5, and a compression spring 6 is installed at one end of the slider 7, and the other end of the compression spring 6 is installed on the inner wall surface of the slide groove 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting plates 2 are arranged in abutment with each other, and a plurality of connecting rings are combined to form a connecting ring. The outer ring surfaces of the connecting plates 2 are arranged flush to ensure the flatness of the outer ring surface of the steam seal ring and avoid unevenness that affects assembly.
[0024] In this embodiment, a first screw hole 10 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 2, and a second screw hole 11 is provided on the inner wall surface of the arc-shaped groove 4 opposite to the first screw hole 10, and headless bolts 3 are threadedly connected in the opposite first screw hole 10 and second screw hole 11.
[0025] In this embodiment, the compression spring 6 is a high-temperature resistant compression spring 6 , so that the device can adapt to high-temperature environments.
[0026] In this embodiment, the width of the connecting plate 2 matches the width of the arc-shaped groove 4, which increases the stability of the connecting plate and avoids axial swinging of the connecting plate.
[0027] During installation, the steam seals can be combined together in a ring structure and set to abut against each other. After completion, any connecting plate can be directly pushed to move along the limiting groove. The movement of one connecting plate can push all the connecting plates, so that one end of the connecting plate slides into the arc groove of the adjacent steam seal, and one end of the limiting part also slides into the limiting groove of the adjacent steam seal. The steam seals can be directly spliced together through the connecting plate and the limiting part that are misaligned with the steam seal.
[0028] Among them, as the connecting plate moves, the connecting plate will drive the slider until one end of the slider is in conflict with one end of the slide groove. At this time, the first screw hole on the connecting plate can be set relative to the second screw hole on the steam seal, so that the headless bolt can be accurately threaded into the second screw hole to complete the overall fixation.
[0029] On the contrary, when disassembling, the headless bolt can be screwed out from the second screw hole. After the fixation of the headless bolt is lost, the sliding block and the connecting plate can be automatically pushed by the rebound of the compression spring, so that the connecting plate can automatically return to the inside of the steam seal connected to it. After the obstruction of the connecting plate is lost, the steam seal can be directly disassembled outward, which greatly facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that do not require creative effort should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection defined in the claims.
