Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine turbines, in particular to a power turbine disc with a built-in skeleton structure. Background Art

[0002] A turbine engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses rotating components to extract kinetic energy from the fluid passing through it. It is commonly used as an engine for aircraft, large ships, and vehicles. All turbine engines have three main components: a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (hence the name "turbine engine").

[0003] The power turbine is a type of impeller machine in a gas turbine engine. It converts the energy of the combustion gas through the turbine blades into mechanical work to drive external loads such as propellers. It is a type of turbine. The power turbine is not connected to the core engine. In turboprop engines, it is directly connected to the propeller's speed reducer. In turboshaft engines, it is sometimes connected directly to the rotor (for helicopters with direct shaft power output) or to the speed reducer (for helicopters equipped with speed reducers). It is a core component of the gas turbine engine's power unit. Existing power turbines are limited by traditional forging and casting processes, making their complex internal structures difficult to machine. Consequently, most use a solid design. This results in a higher overall weight for the power unit, with the blades accounting for a high proportion of the weight. Internal stress analysis shows that the central portion carries less stress, and a solid internal structure reduces the load on the turbine disc. Furthermore, due to the design characteristics of the power turbine, low energy conversion efficiency is a disadvantage. Furthermore, the power turbine is subject to significant gas impact forces during the energy conversion process, and its high rotational speed puts significant stress on the connection with the shaft during rotation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a power turbine disk with an internal skeleton structure. The internal skeleton structure reduces the overall weight of the power turbine disk and effectively improves the energy conversion efficiency of the turbine. The internal gear structure is used for fixing, reducing the stress at the connection of the power turbine.

[0005] The present invention provides the following technical solutions to solve the above problems: a power turbine disk with an internal skeleton structure, comprising turbine blades and a blade disk body; a built-in skeleton is provided inside the blade disk body; an internal cavity is provided inside the blade disk body; a positioning bushing is provided axially outside the blade disk body; an internal spline is provided on the inner rim of the blade disk body; a smooth shaft hole is provided at the axis center of the positioning bushing; a balance adjustment hole is provided on one side of the positioning bushing; and the outer edge of the blade disk body is connected to the root of the turbine blade.

[0006] Preferably, the inner rim of the blade disk body adopts an 18-tooth internal spline structure.

[0007] Preferably, 31 turbine blades are provided on the blade disk body.

[0008] Preferably, the interior of the blade disk body is provided with 16 internal skeletons and 16 internal cavities. The thickness of the blade disk body decreases first and then increases from the axis to the rim.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning bushing has 16 balance adjustment holes evenly distributed in a circle.

[0010] Preferably, the smooth shaft hole is arranged at the front and rear of the positioning bushing, the smooth shaft hole coincides with the axis of the positioning bushing, and the aperture of the smooth shaft hole is consistent with the top circle of the spline of the inner rim of the blade disk body.

[0011] Preferably, the turbine blade has an overall curvature, the front and rear ends of the turbine blade are semicircular, and the thickness of the blade gradually increases from the upper end to the lower end.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes a built-in turbine skeleton structure, which reduces the overall weight of the turbine impeller while ensuring the overall strength of the turbine blade disc, thereby reducing the overall weight of the engine. The manufacturing process involved in this utility model is additive manufacturing technology, which can effectively save materials during the manufacturing process, thereby further reducing costs.

[0014] 2. The utility model adopts an internal spline structure, which can change the mechanical connection of the power turbine from the traditional sleeve fixation to the spline connection, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the fixation, and converting the original fixation method relying on friction force into a fixation method that is fixed by the combined action of material shear force and friction force, thereby reducing the tangential stress on the connection and increasing the service life of the parts.

[0015] 3. The utility model adopts a balance adjustment hole. Under the premise of avoiding external stress concentration, the balance adjustment hole is drilled inside the shaft hole. The dynamic balance adjustment can be completed by adjusting the depth of the balance adjustment hole. The dynamic balance deweighting is formed by removing material to eliminate the imbalance, thereby ensuring that the power turbine can rotate stably at high speed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
