[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: including a flange 1, and an air guiding mechanism 2 and a mounting tenon mechanism 3 are provided on the outer wall of the flange 1;
[0029] The air guide mechanism 2 includes an air guide section and a reinforcement section;
[0030] The air guiding section includes an air guiding plate 21 and multiple sets of guide vanes 23, and the reinforcement section includes multiple reinforcement blocks 28 and multiple reinforcement frames 25;
[0031] The air guide plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the edge plate 1 on one side near the edge plate 1. The air guide plate 21 has a cavity inside. The outer walls of multiple reinforcing frames 25 are all located on the inner wall of the cavity and are in contact with the inner wall of the cavity. The outer wall of the air guide plate 21 is fitted with a mounting cover 22. The outer walls of multiple reinforcing frames 25 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting cover 22. Multiple guide plates 24 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the air guide plate 21. The outer walls of multiple guide plates 24 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of multiple sets of guide blades 23. Multiple air guide grooves 29 are opened on the outer wall of the air guide plate 21. Multiple air guide slopes 210 are opened on the outer wall of the multiple air guide grooves 29 respectively. Two fixed threaded sleeves 27 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the air guide plate 21. Two bolts 26 are inserted through the outer wall of the mounting cover 22 and extend to the inner side of the two fixed threaded sleeves 27. The outer walls of the two bolts 26 are threadedly connected to the inner side of the two fixed threaded sleeves 27 respectively.
[0032] The mounting tenon mechanism 3 includes a tenon 31. The side of the tenon 31 closest to the edge plate 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the edge plate 1. Two sets of arc grooves 32 are provided on the outer wall of the tenon 31. A dovetail tenon 33 is fixedly provided on the side of the tenon 31 away from the edge plate 1.
[0033] When in use, high-speed airflow enters the interior of the aero-engine. The guide vane 24 on the outer wall of the guide vane 21 and the guide blade 23 work together to guide and split the airflow. The unique shape and arrangement of the guide blade 23 allow the airflow to impact the turbine blades at a more reasonable angle and speed, causing the blades to rotate. The guide slots 29 and the guide slopes 210 on the guide vane 21 optimize the airflow path, reduce airflow resistance and turbulence, improve airflow efficiency, and enhance the aerodynamic performance of the blades, thereby more effectively converting the kinetic energy of the airflow into the mechanical energy of the turbine blades to drive the aero-engine.
[0034] The reinforcing frame 25 is located in the cavity inside the air guide plate 21. Its outer wall contacts the inner wall of the cavity and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting cover 22 to form a stable support structure. At the same time, multiple reinforcing blocks 28 also reinforce the air guide mechanism 2, dispersing the stress during operation and preventing the air guide plate 21 from deforming or being damaged by external forces such as airflow impact. This ensures that the air guide mechanism 2 remains stable in complex working environments, thereby guaranteeing the overall structural strength and reliability of the turbine blades. In addition, two fixed threaded sleeves 27 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the air guide plate 21 and are threadedly connected to two bolts 26 that penetrate the outer wall of the mounting cover 22 and extend to its inner side, further strengthening the connection stability between the air guide plate 21 and the mounting cover 22. Furthermore, the reinforcing frame 25 is designed to be detachable, allowing for inspection during maintenance, thus making the air guide plate 21 safer during use.
[0035] The mounting tenon mechanism 3 is responsible for connecting and fixing the turbine blade to other engine components. The side of the tenon 31 near the flange 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flange 1. The two sets of arc grooves 32 on the outer wall of the tenon 31 can cooperate with the protruding structure of the corresponding component to achieve initial positioning and connection. The setting of the dovetail tenon 33 further enhances the stability of the connection, prevents the blade from loosening or shifting during operation, and ensures that the turbine blade and other engine components work together stably.
