Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas turbine technology, specifically to a gas turbine connector. Background Technology

[0002] The structure of a gas turbine compressor test piece mainly includes an inlet chamber, an inlet cylinder, a compressor cylinder, and an exhaust cylinder. Air enters the inlet cylinder through the inlet chamber, then enters the compressor cylinder where it is pressurized by the blades, and finally exits through the exhaust cylinder. When the airflow passes through the inlet cylinder, the diameter of the inner flow channel contracts significantly at the rear of the inner ring, then gradually flattens and expands. The upper half of the inner ring of the inlet cylinder is relatively close to the bearing housing cover. The bearing housing cover and the lower half of the inner ring of the inlet cylinder are assembled and connected at the horizontal split surface, jointly providing support and necessary lubrication chambers for the bearings and rotor. To prevent lubrication oil from overflowing along the split surface, a track groove is usually provided at the split surface of the lower half of the inner ring of the inlet cylinder, with a sealing strip inside. When the bearing housing cover and the lower half of the inner ring of the inlet cylinder are assembled and connected at the horizontal split surface by screws, the split surface of the bearing housing cover presses against the sealing strip to achieve a seal. The sealing track groove and the screw holes on the split surface are distributed radially, with the track groove on the inside and the screw holes on the outside. The screw holes on the bearing housing cover are usually located on the bearing housing cover flange.

[0003] In the prior art, CN114856821A discloses a bearing housing and a gas turbine. The bearing housing includes two housing bodies that meet at a mid-plane. At least one of the housing bodies has a sealing groove at the mid-plane. Each housing body has an air inlet hole, the inlet end of which penetrates the outer surface of the housing body, and the outlet end of which penetrates the sealing groove, allowing sealing gas to be delivered into the sealing groove through the air inlet hole. The gas turbine includes the bearing housing. By creating a sealing groove at the mid-plane of the bearing housing and continuously supplying sealing gas into the sealing groove, with the sealing gas pressure exceeding the internal pressure of the bearing housing, the high-pressure flow of the sealing gas in the gap between the mid-planes prevents the leakage of lubricating oil, oil fumes, and oil mist from inside the bearing housing through the mid-plane.

[0004] However, the existing technical solutions have the following technical problems: when the inner flow channel at the rear of the intake cylinder contracts significantly or the overall bearing position is adjusted backward, the space in the radial direction is very limited, which easily leads to interference. Because it is necessary to simultaneously meet the radial space requirements of the chamber, the radial distribution requirements of the guide groove followed by the screw holes, and the space requirement of the bearing housing cover flange and the inner ring of the intake cylinder not interfering with each other, interference will occur when the inner flow channel contracts significantly or the overall bearing position is adjusted backward.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0041] Example

[0042] According to one aspect of this utility model, a gas turbine connecting component is provided, such as... Figure 1-2 and Figure 12 As shown, the gas turbine includes a first cylinder section 1, a second cylinder section 2, and a connecting member 3. The first cylinder section 1 and the second cylinder section 2 are connected to each other at least through the connecting member 3. The first cylinder section 1 includes a first connecting groove 11, and the second cylinder section 2 includes a second connecting groove 21. The first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 21 are both located on the connecting surface of the first cylinder section 1 and the second cylinder section 2.

[0043] Specifically, the first cylinder section 1 is a bearing housing cover, the second cylinder section 2 is the lower half inner ring of the intake cylinder, and the connecting surface between the first cylinder section 1 and the second cylinder section 2 is the mid-section of the intake cylinder.

[0044] The first connecting groove 11, the second connecting groove 21, and the connecting member 3 all extend along the axial direction of the gas turbine.

[0045] Specifically, on a plane perpendicular to the gas turbine axis, the cross-sections of the first connecting portion 31, the second connecting portion 32, and the third connecting portion 33 are all rectangular. More specifically, in this embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the gas turbine axis, the cross-section of the connecting member 3 and the groove cross-section formed by the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 21 are all I-shaped.

[0046] In other embodiments, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the gas turbine, the cross-section of the connecting member 3 may also be a "tu"-shape, a "shang"-shape, etc., and correspondingly, the cross-section of the groove jointly formed by the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 21 may also be a "tu"-shape, a "shang"-shape, etc.

[0047] In still other embodiments, the connecting member 3 may not be provided with the third connecting portion 33, and the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are directly connected.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1-4 , the connecting member 3, the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 21 all extend to the first end face that is jointly formed by the first cylinder portion 1 and the second cylinder portion 2 and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the gas turbine.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 9 , the gas turbine further comprises a fixing member 4, the fixing member 4 is arranged on the first end face, and the fixing member 4 can restrict the connecting member 3 from sliding along the extending direction of the second connecting groove 21. The second cylinder portion 2 further comprises a fixing hole 22, the fixing hole 22 is arranged on the first end face, and the fixing member 4 is fixed to the second cylinder portion 2 through the fixing hole 22.

[0050] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3-5 , the fixing member 4 is a bolt, the fixing hole 22 further comprises a first matching portion 23, the connecting member 3 further comprises a second matching portion 36, the first matching portion 23 and the second matching portion 36 are both grooves, the first matching portion 23 and the second matching portion 36 are both arranged on the first end face, a part of the head of the fixing member 4 is located in the first matching portion 23, and the other part of the head of the fixing member 4 is located in the second matching portion 36.

[0054] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the gas turbine includes multiple connecting parts 3, which are located at different axial positions within the gas turbine and are detachably connected. Specifically, the connecting parts 3 have different lengths, and can be divided into long connecting parts and short connecting parts, to address the problem of insufficient axial space when the connecting parts 3 are installed along the axial direction of the gas turbine into the first connecting groove 11 and the second connecting groove 21. More specifically, the connecting parts 3 are connected by pin holes and pins, with the pin holes and pins located on different connecting parts 3 to achieve connection between different connecting parts 3.

The second sealing groove 25 is located at the connection surface between the first cylinder section 1 and the second cylinder section 2, and the second seal 7 is at least partially located within the second sealing groove 25. Specifically, after the first cylinder section and the second cylinder section 2 are connected, the second seal 7 can be compressed to achieve a seal.

[0057] By applying the above-described technical solution of this utility model, at least the following technical effects are achieved:

[0058] 1. In this utility model, the first cylinder section and the second cylinder section are connected by the connecting member, which saves radial space and solves the technical problem that the small radial space causes easy interference between bolts.
