Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turbine guides, specifically a guide for an air turbine starter. Background Technology
[0002] An air turbine starter (hereinafter referred to as a starter) is a small-sized turbine starter that uses compressed air to drive the rotor of an engine gas generator during ground and air starting. A search reveals a guide for an air turbine starter disclosed in application number CN202322451729.8, which describes a guide body and multiple sets of blades. The inner ring of the guide body is an inner ring, and the outer ring is an outer ring. The outer ring of the outer ring is a mounting edge, and the axial shape of the mounting edge is five arc-shaped segments and one straight edge. The blades are axially evenly installed between the inner and outer flow channel surfaces. Two sets of stepped surfaces are provided at the rear of the guide body, and the rear center of the guide body is hollow. The leading edge of the blade is the airflow inlet. The guide is precision cast as a whole and adopts a simple one-ring structure. The bolt mounting holes make the assembly of the guide body with the starter convenient and quick. The cavity can reduce the overall weight. The overall flow organization is good, the strength is reliable, and it also has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. However, the above description still has the following defects in actual use: the bolt fixing method can improve the convenience of installation, but the inner ring structure lacks an auxiliary fixing structure, which cannot adapt to the structural connection of some turbine starters. At the same time, the blade is not easy to disassemble and replace after long-term use. Therefore, it is necessary to design a guide for air turbine starters with strong practicality.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 A guide for an air turbine starter includes: a guide body 1, an inner ring 2 is provided on the inner ring of the guide body 1, an outer ring 3 is provided on the outer ring of the guide body 1, a plurality of fixing blocks 21 are arranged in a ring on the inner wall of the inner ring 2, and an annular groove 22 is provided on the outer side of the inner ring 2.
[0021] Please see Figure 2 The inner fixing ring 4 has several fixing grooves 41 on its side. The inner walls of the fixing grooves 41 are engaged with the surfaces of several fixing blocks 21. The inner wall of the inner fixing ring 4 has several arc-shaped slots 42. The inner walls of the arc-shaped slots 42 have several connecting holes 43. The inner walls of the connecting holes 43 are threaded to the slots 23 on the surfaces of the fixing blocks 21 by connecting pins 44. The surface of the inner fixing ring 4 has several fixing holes 45.
[0022] In practical use: several fixing grooves 41 on the inner fixing ring 4 are engaged with several fixing blocks 21 on the inner wall of the inner ring 2, and several connecting pins 44 are inserted into several connecting holes 43 and slots 23 to complete the threaded fixation of the inner fixing ring 4 and the inner ring 2. Several fixing holes 45 on the mating surface of the inner fixing ring 4 are threadedly fixed to the connection structure of the air turbine starter, which facilitates the auxiliary fixation requirements inside the guide body 1, improves the flexibility of the guide body 1 installation process, and can be disassembled when the inner fixing ring 4 is not needed. After the first limiting ring 25 and the second limiting ring 26 are installed, they will limit the protruding parts of several fixing blocks 21 to avoid affecting the installation of the inner ring 2 itself.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 The blade assembly 5 includes a mounting ring 51 installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 22. The mounting ring 51 has several T-shaped elastic steels 52 on its side. The other end of each T-shaped elastic steel 52 is provided with a through groove 53. The edge of the T-shaped elastic steel 52 is provided with a limiting protrusion 54. The surface of the T-shaped elastic steel 52 is engaged with several snap-fit grooves 56 provided on the inner wall of the blade ring 55. The outer side of the blade ring 55 is provided with several stationary blades 57.
[0024] The inner wall edge of the annular groove 22 of the inner ring 2 is provided with a threaded groove, and the inner wall of the threaded groove is threadedly connected to a flow guide cap 24. The edge of the inner wall of the flow guide cap 24 is provided with a first limiting ring 25, and one side of the first limiting ring 25 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inner ring 2.
[0025] In practical use: The operator applies partial pressure to the blade ring 55 using tools, causing several snap-fit grooves 56 on the inner wall of the blade ring 55 to interlock with several T-shaped elastic steels 52. The limiting protrusions 54 on the edges of the T-shaped elastic steels 52 limit and fix the blade ring 55 to the mounting ring 51, thus completing the installation and fixation of the inner ring 2 and several stationary blades 57 on the side of the blade ring 55. The inner wall of the flow guide cap 24 is threaded to the threaded groove of the inner ring 2. The first limiting ring 25 limits the blade ring 55. Conversely, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the stationary blades 57, the flow guide cap 24 is removed, and the operator uses a pry bar to remove the blade ring 55, improving the convenience of installing and replacing the stationary blades 57.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The inner wall of the other end of the inner ring 2 is fixedly connected to a second limiting ring 26, and the first limiting ring 25 and the second limiting ring 26 have the same thickness.
[0027] In practical use: the first limiting ring 25 and the second limiting ring 26 have the same thickness and are made of the same material, which facilitates the auxiliary limiting of several fixing blocks 21 on the inner wall of the inner ring 2, and avoids the protrusion of the fixing blocks 21 from affecting the installation and fixation of the connection structure between the inner ring 2 and the air turbine starter.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 A flow guide cavity is set between the outer wall of inner ring 2 and the inner wall of outer ring 3.
[0029] Each of the stationary blades 57 is equipped with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet.
[0030] In practical use: the outer surface of the inner ring 2 is provided with an outer flow channel surface, the inner wall of the outer ring 3 is provided with an inner flow channel surface, and the area between the inner flow channel surface and the outer flow channel surface is a guide cavity. The airflow inlets and airflow outlets provided on several stationary blades 57 cooperate with each other to realize the air guiding performance of the internal structure of the guide body 1.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 The outer ring 3 has several bolt mounting holes 31 on its surface.
[0032] In practical use: the several bolt mounting holes 31 on the surface of the outer ring 3, together with several fixing bolts, facilitate the threaded fixing of the guide body 1 to the external connection structure of the air turbine starter, so as to facilitate its installation and disassembly.
[0033] In use, several fixing grooves 41 on the inner fixing ring 4 are engaged with several fixing blocks 21 on the inner wall of the inner ring 2, and several connecting pins 44 are inserted into several connecting holes 43 and slots 23 to complete the threaded fixation of the inner fixing ring 4 and the inner ring 2. Several fixing holes 45 on the mating surface of the inner fixing ring 4 are threadedly fixed to the connection structure of the air turbine starter, which facilitates the auxiliary fixation requirements inside the guide body 1. The inner fixing ring 4 can be disassembled when it is not needed. After the first limiting ring 25 and the second limiting ring 26 are installed, they will limit the protruding parts of several fixing blocks 21 to prevent the installation of the inner ring 2 from being affected. The operator uses tools to fix the blades. Applying partial pressure to the blade ring 55 causes several snap-fit grooves 56 on the inner wall of the blade ring 55 to interlock with several T-shaped elastic steels 52. The limiting protrusions 54 on the edges of the T-shaped elastic steels 52 limit and fix the blade ring 55 to the mounting ring 51, thus completing the installation and fixation of the inner ring 2 and several stationary blades 57 on the side of the blade ring 55. The inner wall of the flow guide cap 24 is threaded to the threaded groove of the inner ring 2. The first limiting ring 25 limits the blade ring 55. Conversely, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the stationary blades 57, the flow guide cap 24 is removed, and the operator uses a pry bar to remove the blade ring 55, improving the convenience of installing and replacing the stationary blades 57.
