The invention relates to the technical field of
gas turbines, and provides an air inlet structure for a fuel
nozzle of a gas
turbine. The air inlet structure comprises a center
air channel and a fuel cavity which are communicated with each other, and the center
air channel is used for connecting the air into the fuel cavity. A
nozzle hanging
flange is arranged at one end of the center
air channel, the
nozzle hanging
flange is provided with a plurality of air inlet channels used for connecting the air into the center air channel, and the air inlet channels are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the nozzle hanging
flange. Each air
inlet channel is provided with an adjusting mechanism, and each adjusting mechanism is used for limiting the size of the minimum flow area of the corresponding air
inlet channel. Each adjusting rod can be adjusted independently, the speed distribution of the air on the head portion of a
combustion chamber is effectively improved, the
mixing effect of fuel and the air is improved, hence,
tempering can be effectively prevented from happening at a nozzle outlet, and the reliability of the nozzle is improved. The air flow can be steplessly adjusted, stepless speed change of the air
turbine can also be achieved, and the fuel can be fully burnt ultimately.
