[0038] The compressor blades of the gas turbine include a row of moving blades and a row of stationary blades. The row of stationary blades is usually segmented and mounted in the stationary blade ring 5, and then mounted in the cylinder through the stationary blade ring 5. As shown in Figures 1-2 In the assembly process of the stationary blade ring 5, the circumferential gap A between the stationary blade ring side surfaces 12 of each ring segment is usually required. If the gap A between the stationary blade ring side surfaces 12 is too large, it will affect the aerodynamic performance of the gas turbine; if the gap between the stationary blade ring side surfaces 12 is too small, a large stress will be generated during the operation of the gas turbine due to thermal expansion. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the circumferential gap A between each stationary blade ring segment measured in the assembled state is consistent with the actual working state, so that the gap between the stationary blade ring side surfaces 12 is in a reasonable state.

[0039] In the assembly process, when measuring the circumferential gap A of each ring segment, it is necessary to ensure that the stator ring groove 10 has been tightly attached to the limiting unit 7, so as to ensure that the circumferential gap value A measured in the assembly state is consistent with the actual circumferential gap value A in the working state, and consistent with the design intention. The circumferential limiting assembly of the utility model can directly observe whether the elastic sheet unit 2 is tightly attached through the positioning hole 14 of the compressor cylinder, and can be measured using a plug gauge and other tools, so as to determine whether the stator ring groove 10 and the limiting unit 7 are tightly attached.

[0040] As shown in Figures 3-5 A circumferential limiting assembly of a compressor stator ring 5, the compressor is provided with a positioning hole 14, the stator ring 5 comprises a plurality of ring segments, each ring segment is provided with a stator ring groove 10, the circumferential limiting assembly comprises a locking unit 6 and a limiting unit 7, the limiting unit 7 is arranged between the positioning hole 14 and the stator ring groove 10, the locking unit 6 is fixed in the positioning hole 14, and the locking unit 6 is adjacent to the limiting unit 7 to limit the radial displacement of the limiting unit 7.

[0041] The circumferential limiting assembly further comprises a gap measuring unit, and the gap measuring unit is in the form of an elastic sheet unit 2. The elastic sheet unit 2 is arranged in the limiting unit 7; the elastic sheet unit 2 is installed in the limiting unit 7, and the elastic sheet unit 2 is attached to one side of the stator ring groove 10.

[0042] The limiting unit 7 comprises a guide portion 71 and a limiting portion 72, the guide portion 71 passes through the compressor cylinder body 13, and the guide portion 71 has a top surface 73, the top surface 73 is adjacent to the locking unit 6. The limiting portion 72 is arranged in the stator ring groove 10, and the limiting portion 72 comprises a limiting surface 74, the limiting surface 74 can be tightly attached to the stator ring groove 10. The locking unit 6 is locked by threads. The locking unit 6 comprises a recess 15, and the recess 15 can accommodate the upper half of the elastic sheet unit 2. The locking unit 6 comprises a mounting hole 11, and the locking unit 6 can be screwed into the positioning hole 14 of the compressor cylinder body 13 through the mounting hole 11.

[0043] The limiting unit 7 further comprises a mounting groove, and the mounting groove can mount the elastic sheet unit 2. The mounting groove is a T-shaped groove 1, and the T-shaped groove 1 comprises a first groove 8 and a second groove 9, the first groove 8 is close to the center direction, the second groove 9 is away from the center direction, and the first groove 8 and the second groove 9 form the T-shaped groove 1.

[0044] Preferably, the limiting unit 7 further comprises a positioning portion 75, the positioning portion 75 is arranged on the guide portion 71, and the positioning portion 75 makes the limiting surface 74 parallel to the opening direction of the stator ring groove 10.

[0045] The elastic sheet unit 2 comprises a first sheet 3 and a second sheet 4, wherein the first sheet 3 is a straight face and is installed in the first groove 8; the second sheet 4 is an inclined face and is installed in the second groove 9. The first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 constitute the elastic sheet unit 2. The first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 need to be welded by wider and harder and narrower and elastic sheets to achieve the effect similar to a forceps. The thickness of the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 needs to be less than or equal to the thickness of the T-shaped groove of the limiting unit 7, that is, the thickness of the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 needs to be less than the thickness of the first groove 8 and the second groove 9.

[0046] The first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 can be connected into one body by local welding, specifically, the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 are welded into one body at the part of the one end of the vane ring groove 10, and the other end is in an open state, so that the gap between the vane ring groove 10 and the limiting unit 7 is enlarged, and the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 can be compressed and closely attached with the rotation of the vane ring 5.

[0047] Figures 1-2 Each segment of the vane ring 5 is implemented in the above-mentioned circumferential limiting assembly. By using the characteristics of the elastic sheets of the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 4 and the structure of the limiting unit 7, the measurement of the unmeasurable circumferential gap A is enlarged to the gap between the elastic two sheets which can be observed, so that the closely attached condition of the vane ring groove 10 and the limiting unit 7 in the actual state can be simulated in the assembly stage to obtain the accurate circumferential gap A between the segments of the vane ring 5.

[0048] When the circumferential gap A of the compressor vane ring 5 is measured by using the circumferential limiting assembly, the elastic sheet unit 2 needs to be put into the T-shaped groove of the limiting unit 7 and attached to the lowermost end. The combined limiting unit 7 is inserted into the positioning hole 14 on the compressor cylinder 13, and the limiting part 72 of the limiting unit 7 slides along the guide groove of the positioning hole 14 of the compressor cylinder to ensure that the actual limiting face 74 of the limiting unit 7 is placed along the circumference. At this time, the limiting part 72 of the limiting unit 7 is located in the vane ring groove 10.

[0049] Then, the vane ring 5 is rotated along the circumference, the vane ring side face 12 is closely attached with the elastic sheet part of the elastic sheet unit 2 and continues to move until the vane ring groove 10 is closely attached with the limiting face 74 of the limiting unit 7. At this time, it can be observed from the positioning hole 14 of the compressor cylinder that the two sheets of the elastic sheet unit 2 have been closely attached, and a plug gauge or other tools can be used for measurement verification. When the two sheets are verified to be closely attached, it can be determined that the vane ring groove 10 is closely attached with the limiting unit 7, and at this time, the circumferential gap value A between the segments of the vane ring 5 can be measured.

[0050] When the vane ring groove 10 is in close contact with the limiting unit 7, the locking unit 6 is screwed into the positioning hole 14 of the compressor cylinder along the radial direction. The space in the groove 15 of the locking unit 6 can accommodate the upper end portion of the elastic sheet unit 2, and the lower end surface of the large screw is in close contact with the upper end surface of the limiting unit 7, so as to prevent the limiting unit 7 from moving radially, thereby achieving radial limiting.

[0051] In summary, from the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model realize the following technical effects:

[0052] 1. The characteristics of the first sheet and the second sheet and the structure of the limiting unit are used to enlarge the unmeasurable circumferential gap into the observable gap between the two elastic sheets, so as to ensure that the close contact between the vane ring groove and the limiting unit under the actual state can be simulated during the assembly stage.

[0053] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
