In Strömungsmaschinen wird der Wirkungsgrad von verschiedenen Faktoren und Parametern beeinflusst. Insbesondere Strömungsverluste infolge von Bypassströmungen außerhalb der Hauptströmung durch die Lauf- und Leitradbeschaufelung vermindern den Wirkungsgrad. Derartige Bypassströmungen können auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise zumindest verringert werden, um Wirkungsgradverluste zu vermeiden. Beispielsweise werden an Schaufelanordnungen der Strömungsmaschine Dichtungen angeordnet, um Bypassströmungen zu reduzieren.In turbomachinery efficiency is influenced by various factors and parameters. In particular, flow losses due to bypass flows outside of the main flow through the runner and Leitradbeschaufelung reduce the efficiency. Such bypass flows can be at least reduced in different ways in order to avoid loss of efficiency. For example, seals are arranged on blade arrangements of the turbomachine in order to reduce bypass flows.

Eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine weitere Leitschaufel für eine Strömungsmaschine vorzuschlagen, die eine Dichtungsvorrichtung am radial inneren Endbereich der Leitschaufel zum Abdichten von Leckageströmungen zwischen der Leitschaufel und einem mit der Leitschaufel verbundenen Innenring vorsieht. Ferner ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein entsprechendes Leitrad sowie eine Strömungsmaschine vorzuschlagen.An object of the present invention is to propose a further stator blade for a turbomachine which provides a sealing device at the radially inner end portion of the stator vane for sealing leakage flow between the stator vane and an inner ring connected to the stator vane.

Sie wird ferner durch ein Leitrad mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9 sowie einer Strömungsmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 10 gelöst.The object of the invention is achieved by a guide blade with the features of claim 1. It is further achieved by a stator with the features of claim 9 and a turbomachine with the features of claim 10.

Erfindungsgemäß wird somit eine Dichtungsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die beweglich gegenüber der Leitschaufel angeordnet ist. Die Dichtungsvorrichtung ist in wenigstens einer offenen oder in einer geschlossenen Anordnung zum Abdichten der Leckageströmungen positionierbar.According to the invention, a sealing device is thus proposed, which is arranged movably with respect to the guide blade. The sealing device is positionable in at least one open or closed arrangement for sealing the leakage flows.

Bei allen vorstehenden und folgenden Ausführungen ist der Gebrauch des Ausdrucks "kann sein" bzw. "kann haben" usw. synonym zu "ist vorzugsweise" bzw. "hat vorzugsweise" usw. zu verstehen und soll erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsformen erläutern.In all the above and following embodiments, the use of the term "may be" or "may have" etc. is synonymous with "preferably" or "preferably has", etc., and is intended to explain embodiments of the invention.

Wann immer hierin Zahlenworte genannt werden, so versteht der Fachmann diese als Angabe einer zahlenmäßig unteren Grenze. Sofern dies zu keinem für den Fachmann erkennbaren Widerspruch führt, liest der Fachmann daher beispielsweise bei der Angabe "ein" oder "einem" stets "wenigstens ein" oder "wenigstens einem" mit. Dieses Verständnis ist ebenso von der vorliegenden Erfindung mit umfasst wie die Auslegung, dass ein Zahlenwort wie beispielsweise "ein" alternativ als "genau ein" gemeint sein kann, wo immer dies für den Fachmann erkennbar technisch möglich ist. Beides ist von der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst und gilt für alle hierin verwendeten Zahlenworte.Whenever numerical words are mentioned herein, those skilled in the art will understand these as indicating a numerically lower limit. If this does not result in a contradiction that is recognizable to the person skilled in the art, the person skilled in the art therefore always reads "at least one" or "at least one", for example, when specifying "a" or "one". This understanding is also encompassed by the present invention as the interpretation that a numerical word such as "a" may alternatively be meant as "exactly one" wherever technically possible for those skilled in the art. Both are encompassed by the present invention and apply to all number words used herein.

Die Dichtungsvorrichtung ist in bestimmten erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen in einer offenen Anordnung positioniert, wobei mit einer "offenen Anordnung" ein geöffneter oder offener Durchströmungsquerschnitt einer Leckageströmung gemeint ist, der von der Dichtungsvorrichtung in dieser Anordnung nicht oder zumindest nicht vollständig verschlossen ist. Diese Position kann als Montageposition beschrieben werden. In der Montageposition ist die Dichtungsvorrichtung nicht oder noch nicht in einer Weise positioniert, um den Leckagestrom abzudichten oder zu reduzieren. Erst nach einem Bewegen (translatorisch und/oder rotatrisch) aus dieser Montageposition heraus wird ein Leckagestrom wirksam zumindest teilweise reduziert.In certain embodiments of the invention, the sealing device is positioned in an open arrangement, where by an "open arrangement" is meant an open or open flow cross-section of a leakage flow which is not or at least not completely closed by the sealing device in this arrangement. This position can be described as a mounting position. In the mounting position, the sealing device is not or not yet positioned in a manner to seal or reduce the leakage flow. Only after a movement (translational and / or rotatrisch) out of this mounting position, a leakage current is effectively at least partially reduced.

Die Dichtungsvom-ichtung ist in einigen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen in einer geschlossenen Anordnung zum Abdichten der Leckageströmungen positioniert.

In gewissen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen wird die Dichtungsvorrichtung oder Abschnitte der Dichtungsvorrichtung mittels der Leckageströmung bewegt. Beispielsweise kann der Strömungsdruck der Leckageströmung groß genug sein, um die Position der Dichtungsvorrichtung zu verändern. Diese Bewegung der Dichtungsvorrichtung kann als druckgesteuerte Bewegung bezeichnet werden. Die Dichtungsvorrichtung oder wenigstens ein Abschnitt der Dichtungsvorrichtung kann ausschließlich von der Leckageströmung bewegt werden.In certain embodiments of the invention, the sealing device or portions of the sealing device is moved by means of the leakage flow.

In particular, bushings, for example bearing bushes, in which the guide vanes rotate are arranged in the inner ring.

Der Verdrehwinkel der Leitschaufel um seine Längsachse kann als Verstellwinkel bezeichnet werden.The angle of rotation of the vane about its longitudinal axis may be referred to as the adjustment angle.

In manchen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen ist die Dichtungsvorrichtung eine Platte oder ein Schieberblech.In some embodiments of the invention, the sealing device is a plate or a slide plate.

Die Dichtungsvorrichtung ist insbesondere aus Metall hergestellt oder weist Metall auf.The sealing device is in particular made of metal or has metal.

In gewissen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen weist die Dichtungsvorrichtung eine Bohrung oder eine Durchgangsbohrung zum Durchströmen wenigstens eines Teils der Leckageströmung auf. Die Bohrung ist insbesondere senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Schieberblechs angeordnet. Mittels der Bohrung und einer druckbeaufschlagten Leckageströmung kann das Schieberblech in der Leitschaufel bewegt werden. Insbesondere wird das Schieberblech von der Montageposition in die geschlossene Position, oder Hakenposition, bewegt.In certain embodiments of the invention, the sealing device has a bore or through-hole for flowing through at least part of the leakage flow. The bore is arranged in particular perpendicular to the surface of the slide plate. By means of the bore and a pressurized leakage flow, the slide plate can be moved in the guide vane. In particular, the slide plate is moved from the mounting position to the closed position, or hook position.

In bestimmten erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen weist die Dichtungsvorrichtung und/oder die Leitschaufel wenigstens zwei Anschlaghaken auf. Die Anschlaghaken können asymmetrisch in Bezug auf eine Mittelachse der Dichtungsvorrichtung in einer Verschieberichtung der Dichtungsvorrichtung angeordnet sein. Die Geometrie der Anschlaghaken kann derart gestaltet und optimiert sein, dass alle möglichen Positionen der Dichtungsvorrichtung, einschließlich möglicher Grenzlagen, ein Verklemmen der Dichtungsvorrichtung in der Leitschaufel verhindert.In certain embodiments of the invention, the sealing device and / or the vane has at least two stop hooks. The stopper hooks may be arranged asymmetrically with respect to a center axis of the sealing device in a shifting direction of the sealing device. The geometry of the stop hooks may be designed and optimized so that all possible positions of the sealing device, including possible boundary layers, prevent jamming of the sealing device in the guide vane.

In einigen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen ist die Dichtungsvorrichtung in einer Leitradschaufelplattform taschenförmig angeordnet.In some embodiments of the invention, the sealing device is pocket-shaped in a stator vane platform.

The generative manufacturing process may be a Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process.

Manche oder alle erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsformen können einen, mehrere oder alle der oben und/oder im Folgenden genannten Vorteile aufweisen.Some or all embodiments according to the invention may have one, several or all of the advantages mentioned above and / or below.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel kann die Leckageströmung im Verbindungsbereich zwischen der Leitschaufel und dem Innenring, welcher insbesondere mit einem Dichtungsträger in einem Leitrad verbunden ist, vorteilhaft zumindest verringert werden. Eine Verringerung der Leckageströmung kann den Wirkungsgrad einer Strömungsmaschine, in die das Leitrad eingebaut ist, erhöhen. Der Dichtungsträger kann eine Einaufdichtung aufweisen oder mit einer Einlaufdichtung verbunden sein.With the guide vane according to the invention, the leakage flow in the connection region between the guide vane and the inner ring, which is in particular connected to a seal carrier in a stator, can be advantageously at least reduced. A reduction in the leakage flow can increase the efficiency of a turbomachine in which the stator is installed. The seal carrier may have an inlet seal or be connected to an inlet seal.

Weiterhin kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel eine Beeinflussung der Strömung benachbarter Leitschaufeln in einem Leitrad im Einbauzustand vorteilhaft zumindest verringert werden, indem die Leckageströmung im Verbindungsbereich zwischen der Leitschaufel und dem Innenring zumindest reduziert wird. Eine Verringerung der Beeinflussung der Strömung, insbesondere der Anströmung an der Leitschaufelvorderkante, benachbarter Leitschaufeln kann eine Verbesserung der Umströmung der benachbarten Leitschaufel zur Folge haben und damit den Wirkungsgrad der Leitschaufelumströmung vorteilhaft verbessern. Eine Verringerung der Beeinflussung der Strömung benachbarter Leitschaufeln in dem Leitrad im Einbauzustand kann die Pumpstabilität einer Verdichterstufe, in die das Leitrad eingebaut sein kann, erhöhen.Furthermore, with the guide vane according to the invention, influencing the flow of adjacent guide vanes in a guide wheel in the installed state can advantageously be at least reduced by at least reducing the leakage flow in the connection region between the guide vane and the inner ring. Reducing the effect on the flow, in particular the leading vane leading edge flow, of adjacent vanes can result in an improvement in the flow around the adjacent vane and, thus, advantageously improves the vane flow efficiency. Reducing the influence of the flow of adjacent vanes in the stator in the installed state can increase the pumping stability of a compressor stage into which the stator can be installed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel und/oder die erfindungsgemäße Dichtungsvorrichtung kann vorteilhaft kostengünstig mittels eines generativen Herstellungsverfahrens, insbesondere mittels des selektiven Laserschmelzens, hergestellt werden.The guide vane according to the invention and / or the sealing device according to the invention can advantageously be produced inexpensively by means of a generative production method, in particular by means of selective laser melting.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines Leitradkranzes 100 in perspektivischer Ansicht nach dem Stand der Technik. Fig. 1 shows a section of a Leitradkranzes 100 in perspective view of the prior art.

Der Leitradkranz 100 weist mehrere, in Umfangsrichtung u nebeneinander angeordnete Leitschaufeln 200 auf. Die Leitschaufeln 200 weisen jeweils Außenzapfen 1 auf, die am radial äußeren Ende mit einem Gehäuse einer Strömungsmaschine (in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt), insbesondere einer Gasturbine, verbunden sind. Das radial innere Ende der Außenzapfen 1 ist mit Leitschaufelprofilen 3 verbunden.The Leitradkranz 100 has a plurality of circumferentially u side by side arranged vanes 200. The guide vanes 200 each have outer pins 1, which at the radially outer end with a housing of a turbomachine (in Fig. 1 not shown), in particular a gas turbine, are connected. The radially inner end of the outer journal 1 is connected to the guide blade profiles 3.

Die radial inneren Enden der Leitschaufelprofile 3 sind mittels Stiften 5 (bzw. Zapfen) mit einem Innenring 7 des Leitradkranzes 100 verbunden (siehe Fig. 2). Der Innenring 7 ist mit einem ringförmigen Dichtungsträger 9 verbunden.The radially inner ends of the guide blade profiles 3 are connected by means of pins 5 (or pin) with an inner ring 7 of the guide ring 100 (see Fig. 2 ). The inner ring 7 is connected to an annular seal carrier 9.

Der Innenring 7 und der Dichtungsträger 9 sind insbesondere in zwei halbkreisförmige Segmente unterteilt, die in Umfangsrichtung ineinander geschoben werden.The inner ring 7 and the seal carrier 9 are in particular divided into two semicircular segments, which are pushed into one another in the circumferential direction.

Der Dichtungsträger 9 kann mit Einlaufdichtungen oder Einlaufdichtsegmenten verbunden sein.The seal carrier 9 may be connected to inlet seals or inlet sealing segments.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Detailausschnitt aus Fig. 1 in einer Schnittdarstellung mit einer Leitradschaufelplattform 11 und dem Innenring 7 nach dem Stand der Technik. Fig. 2 shows a detail Fig. 1 in a sectional view with a Leitradschaufelplattform 11 and the inner ring 7 according to the prior art.

Die Leitschaufel 200 ist mit dem Innenring 7 mittels des Stiftes 5 und einer Buchse 13 verbunden. Zur Fixierung des Stiftes 5 in dem Innenring 7 und/oder als Lagerbuchse für Drehungen der Leitschaufel 200 um eine Längsachse 14 ist zusätzlich die Buchse 13 in eine Bohrung 15 des Innenrings 7 eingefügt.The vane 200 is connected to the inner ring 7 by means of the pin 5 and a bushing 13. For fixing the pin 5 in the inner ring 7 and / or as a bearing bush for rotations of the vane 200 about a longitudinal axis 14, the bush 13 is additionally inserted into a bore 15 of the inner ring 7.

Der Dichtungsträger 9 und der Innenring 7, die beide insbesondere als halbkreisförmige Segmente ausgeführt sind, können in Umfangsrichtung u ineinander geschoben. Die Segmente sind mittels eines Sicherungsstiftes 17 im Einbauzustand gegen ein Verschieben des Dichtungsträgers 9 und des Innenrings 7 (relativ zueinander) gesichert.The seal carrier 9 and the inner ring 7, both of which are designed in particular as semicircular segments, can be pushed one into the other in the circumferential direction. The segments are secured by means of a locking pin 17 in the installed state against displacement of the seal carrier 9 and the inner ring 7 (relative to each other).

Mit dem Dichtungsträger 9 sind Einlaufdichtungen 19 verbunden, die zur Ausbildung eines Dichtspalts zwischen Dichtspitzen 21, beispielsweise einer rotierenden Welle 23, vorgesehen sind. Die Einlaufdichtungen 19 sind insbesondere segmentiert über dem Umfang ausgeführt. Nach dem Stand der Technik bildet sich ein Leckagestrom 25 insbesondere zwischen der Leitschaufelplattform 11 und dem Innenring 7 aus. Der Leckagestrom 25 strömt infolge des Druckgefälles von der Druckseite des Schaufelprofils zur Saugseite.With the seal carrier 9 inlet seals 19 are connected, which are provided for forming a sealing gap between sealing tips 21, for example, a rotating shaft 23. The inlet seals 19 are in particular segmented over the circumference. According to the prior art, a leakage flow 25 is formed, in particular between the guide blade platform 11 and the inner ring 7. The leakage flow 25 flows due to the pressure gradient from the pressure side of the blade profile to the suction side.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Leckagestrom 25 aus Fig. 2 in perspektivischer Ansicht mit einer benachbarten Leitschaufel 200' nach dem Stand der Technik. Fig. 3 shows the leakage flow 25 from Fig. 2 in perspective view with an adjacent guide vane 200 'according to the prior art.

Ein Teil des Leckagestroms 25' (der Leckagestrom 25' kann als Blasstrahl bezeichnet werden) kann von dem zwischen der Leitschaufelplattform 11 und dem Innenring 7 austretenden Leckagestrom 25 der Leitschaufel 200 in Richtung der Anströmkante der benachbarten Leitschaufel 200' strömen und damit die Anströmung der Leitschaufel 200' stören. Dies kann zu Wirkungsgradeinbußen führen.A portion of the leakage stream 25 '(the leakage stream 25' may be referred to as a blowing jet) may flow from the leakage stream 25 of the vane 200 exiting between the vane platform 11 and the inner ring 7 towards the leading edge of the adjacent vane 200 'and thus the flow of the vane 200 'disturb. This can lead to loss of efficiency.

Die Schnittdarstellung der Fig. 4a ist ca. mittig in Radialrichtung r auf der Höhe der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 (siehe Fig. 6) angeordnet. Fig. 4a shows in a sectional view in a plane with the axes of circumferential direction u and axial direction a, perpendicular to the radial direction r, a guide vane 300 according to the invention with a sealing device 27 and two stop hooks 29 which are connected to the guide vane 300. The sectional view of the Fig. 4a is approximately centrally in the radial direction r at the height of Leitradschaufelplattform 11 (see Fig. 6 ) arranged.

Das Leitschaufelprofil 3 (siehe Fig. 6) ist in dieser Schnittebene nicht sichtbar, jedoch zur Verdeutlichung der Anordnung der Dichtungsvorrichtung 27 gestrichelt skizziert.
Der Stift 5 (radial innen in Bezug auf die Leitradschaufelplattform 11) ist ebenfalls gestrichelt dargestellt, da er in dieser Schnittdarstellung nicht sichtbar ist. Beispielsweise in Fig. 6a und 5b ist der Stift 5 dargestellt.
The vane profile 3 (see Fig. 6 ) is not visible in this section plane, but sketched dashed lines to illustrate the arrangement of the sealing device 27.
The pin 5 (radially inward with respect to the Leitradschaufelplattform 11) is also shown in dashed lines, as it is not visible in this sectional view. For example in Fig. 6a and 5b the pin 5 is shown.

Die Dichtungsvorrichtung 27 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als Schieberplatte 27 ausgeführt. In der in Fig. 4a gezeigten Schnittebene kann sich die Schieberplatte 27 in Umfangsrichtung u und in Achsrichtung a bewegen (Verschiebeweg 28), nicht jedoch in Radialrichtung r (siehe Fig. 6). Die Bewegung wird begrenzt durch die beiden Anschlaghaken 29, an denen die beiden Absätze 31 der Schieberplatte 27 anliegen können.The sealing device 27 is designed as a slide plate 27 in this embodiment. In the in Fig. 4a shown cutting plane, the slide plate 27 can move in the circumferential direction u and in the axial direction a (displacement path 28), but not in the radial direction r (see Fig. 6 ). The movement is limited by the two stop hooks 29, on which the two paragraphs 31 of the slide plate 27 can rest.

Die in Fg. 4a gezeigte Position der Schieberplatte 27 kann als Montageposition bezeichnet werden.The position of the slide plate 27 shown in Fig. 4a may be referred to as a mounting position.

Die Schieberplatte 27 kann sich innerhalb der beschriebenen Bewegungsfreiheit um einen Drehpunkt 33 der Anschlaghaken 29 mit einem Verdrehwinkel 30 drehen.The slide plate 27 can rotate within the described freedom of movement about a pivot point 33 of the stop hook 29 with a twist angle 30.

Mit einer gestrichelten Darstellung wird die Schieberplatte 27 in einer Hakenposition 35 gezeigt. In der Hakenposition 35 ist der maximale Verschiebeweg der Schieberplatte 27 in Bezug auf die Ausgangsposition (Montageposition) erreicht.With a dashed representation, the slide plate 27 is shown in a hook position 35. In the hook position 35, the maximum displacement of the slide plate 27 is achieved with respect to the starting position (mounting position).

Der Kreis 37 stellt die Bohrung 37 im Innenring 7 zur Aufnahme der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 der Leitschaufel 300 dar (siehe Fig. 1 und Fig. 2). Bei einem möglichen Verschleiß dieser Bohrung 37 infolge von beispielsweise Drehungen der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 300 um deren Längsachse 14 (senkrecht zur Zeichenebene) und/oder infolge von thermischen Materialausdehnungen im Betrieb kann die Bohrung 37 des Innenrings 7 versetzt sein oder werden. Der gestrichelte Kreis 39 stellt eine maximale Versetzung der Bohrung 37 infolge von Verschleiß dar.The circle 37 represents the bore 37 in the inner ring 7 for receiving the Leitradschaufelplattform 11 of the guide vane 300 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). In a possible wear of this bore 37 due to, for example, rotations of the guide vane 300 according to the invention about its longitudinal axis 14 (perpendicular to the plane) and / or due to thermal material expansions in operation, the bore 37 of the inner ring 7 may be offset or. The dashed circle 39 represents a maximum displacement of the bore 37 due to wear.

In Bezug auf die zuvor beschriebene Hakenposition 35 der Schieberplatte 27 kann die Schieberplatte 27 zumindest teilweise den Spalt 41 zwischen der äußeren Begrenzung 43 der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 und der Bohrung 37 abdecken bzw. verschließen und somit einen Leckagestrom 25 (siehe Fig. 3), zumindest teilweise, unterbinden.With respect to the previously described hook position 35 of the slide plate 27, the slide plate 27 can at least partially cover the gap 41 between the outer boundary 43 of the stator blade platform 11 and the bore 37 and thus a leakage flow 25 (see Fig. 3 ), at least partially, prevent.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 4a eine Zugangsbohrung 45 dargestellt, die in der Unterseite (radial innere Seite) der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 angeordnet ist. Die Funktion der Zugangsbohrung 45 wird in Fig. 4b beschrieben.Furthermore, in Fig. 4a an access hole 45 is shown, which is arranged in the underside (radially inner side) of the Leitradschaufelplattform 11. The function of the access hole 45 is in Fig. 4b described.

Fig. 4b zeigt die Schieberplatte 27 in einer gegenüber der Ausgangsposition oder Ausgangslage (Montageposition) verschobenen Position, in der der Spalt 41 bereichsweise mittels der Schieberplatte 27 abgedeckt oder verschlossen ist. Diese Position kann als Nominalposition (in eingebautem Zustand und druckbeaufschlagt) bezeichnet werden. Fig. 4b shows the slide plate 27 in a relation to the starting position or starting position (mounting position) shifted position in which the gap 41 is partially covered or closed by means of the slide plate 27. This position can be referred to as a nominal position (in built-in condition and pressurized).

Die Schieberplatte 27 liegt im Bereich 47 an der Bohrung 37 des Innenrings 7 an. Der in Fig. 4b obere Absatz 31 der Schieberplatte 27 liegt am oberen Anschlaghaken 29 an. Dagegen liegt der untere Absatz 31 nicht an dem unteren Anschlaghaken 29 an. Dies wäre allerdings bei einer verschlissenen Bohrung 39 (siehe Fig. 4a) zumindest möglich.The slide plate 27 rests in the region 47 on the bore 37 of the inner ring 7. The in Fig. 4b Upper paragraph 31 of the slide plate 27 abuts the upper stop hook 29. In contrast, lies the lower shoulder 31 does not abut the lower stop hook 29. However, this would be at a worn hole 39 (see Fig. 4a ) at least possible.

Die Schieberplatte 27 kann von der Ausgangsposition (Fig. 4a) in die verschobene Position (Fig. 4b) mittels einer durch die Zugangsbohrung 45 hindurchfliesenden Strömung bzw. der durch diese Strömung verursachten Druckkraft bewegt und verschoben werden. Die Richtung der Druckkraft dieser Strömung wird durch den Pfeil 49 dargestellt.The slide plate 27 can from the starting position ( Fig. 4a ) in the shifted position ( Fig. 4b ) are moved and displaced by means of a flow flowing through the access bore 45 or the pressure force caused by this flow. The direction of the compressive force of this flow is represented by the arrow 49.

Fig. 4c zeigt eine alternative, verschobene Kontur 51 (oder Kontur-Rücknahme) der Schieberplatte 27. Aufgrund der verschobenen Kontur 51 verschiebt sich der anliegende Bereich 47' der Schieberplatte 27 an der Bohrung des Innenrings 7 ebenfalls. In der hier exemplarisch dargestellten möglichen alternativen Kontur 51 verschiebt sich der anliegende Bereich 47' (oder anliegende Punkt) in Fig. 4c nach unten. Andere Konturformen könnten den anliegenden Bereich 47' beispielsweise noch weiter nach unten verschieben oder weiter nach oben. Fig. 4c shows an alternative, displaced contour 51 (or contour withdrawal) of the slide plate 27. Due to the displaced contour 51, the abutting portion 47 'of the slide plate 27 moves on the bore of the inner ring 7 also. In the possible alternative contour 51 shown here by way of example, the adjoining area 47 '(or adjacent point) shifts into Fig. 4c downward. Other contour shapes could, for example, move the adjoining region 47 'further downwards or further upwards.

Eine Verschiebung des anliegenden Bereichs 47' hat Auswirkungen auf den überdeckten oder verschlossenen Bereich des Spalts 41 zwischen der Bohrung 37 (oder der verschlissenen Bohrung 39) und der äußeren Begrenzung der Leitradschaufelplattform 43. Dies kann insbesondere dann relevant und vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Ausströmbereich des Leckageausstroms 25 (siehe Fig. 3) möglichst genau abgedeckt werden soll, um beispielsweise den Wirkungsgrad gezielt zu optimieren. Weiterhin kann der Ausströmbereich des Leckageausstroms 25 durch die Drehung der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 400 um seine Längsachse 14 verändert und beeinflusst werden. Die Drehung der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 400 bzw. die Stellung des Leitschaufelprofil 3 in Bezug auf seine Anströmung kann wesentlich von den Strömungsbedingungen in der Strömungsmaschine abhängen, die beispielsweise von einem Volllast- oder Teillastbetriebszustand beeinflusst wird.A displacement of the abutting portion 47 'has an effect on the covered or closed region of the gap 41 between the bore 37 (or the worn bore 39) and the outer boundary of the Leitradschaufelplattform 43. This may be particularly relevant and advantageous if the outflow of the Leakage leakage 25 (see Fig. 3 ) should be covered as precisely as possible, for example, to optimize the efficiency targeted. Furthermore, the outflow area of the leakage outlet 25 can be changed and influenced by the rotation of the guide vane 400 according to the invention about its longitudinal axis 14. The rotation of the guide vane 400 according to the invention or the position of the vane profile 3 with respect to its inflow can depend substantially on the flow conditions in the turbomachine, which is influenced, for example, by a full load or part load operating state.

Fig. 5a zeigt eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300'. Die Anschlaghaken 29' sind versetzt (oder umgedreht) gegenüber der Anordnung aus den Fig. 4a-c angeordnet. Die Absätze 31' der Schieberplatte 27' sind entsprechend der Anschlaghaken 29' ebenfalls versetzt angeordnet. Die Schieberplatte 27' ist in der Ausgangsposition oder Montageposition positioniert. Fig. 5a shows a further vane 300 'according to the invention. The stop hooks 29 'are offset (or reversed) with respect to the arrangement of the Fig. 4a-c arranged. The paragraphs 31 'of the slide plate 27' are also arranged offset according to the stop hook 29 '. The slide plate 27 'is positioned in the home position or mounting position.

Die übrige Beschreibung aus den Fig. 4a-c gilt analog für Fig. 5a.The rest of the description from the Fig. 4a-c applies analogously for Fig. 5a ,

Fig. 5b zeigt die weitere erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300' aus Fig. 5a in einer druckbeaufschlagten Position (oder Nominalposition). Die Schieberplatte 27' liegt in dem Bereich 47' an der Bohrung 37' an. Fig. 5b shows the further guide vane 300 'according to the invention Fig. 5a in a pressurized position (or nominal position). The slide plate 27 'is in the region 47' to the bore 37 'at.

Fig. 6a zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300 aus den Fig. 4a und Fig. 4b in einer perspektivischer Ansicht. Fig. 6a shows the guide vane 300 of the invention from the Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b in a perspective view.

In dieser Ansicht ist ein Schlitz 53 in der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 sichtbar, in dem die Schieberplatte 27 beweglich angeordnet ist (in der Ebene mit der Axialrichtung a und der Umfangsrichtung u). In der Montageposition der Schieberplatte 27 ist die Schieberplatte 27 vollständig in dem Schlitz 53 integriert und ragt nicht über die äußere Begrenzung 43 der Leitschaufelplattform 11 hinaus.In this view, a slot 53 is visible in the stator blade platform 11 in which the slide plate 27 is movably arranged (in the plane with the axial direction a and the circumferential direction u). In the mounting position of the slide plate 27, the slide plate 27 is completely integrated in the slot 53 and does not protrude beyond the outer boundary 43 of the guide vane platform 11.

Insbesondere in einer druckbeaufschlagten Position der Schieberplatte 27, in der eine Druckkraft von der radial inneren Seite der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 (in Fig. 6a verdeckt unterhalb der Leitradschaufelplattform 11) auf die die Schieberplatte 27 wirkt, kann die Schieberplatte 27 aus dem Schlitz 53 herausragen, jedoch nicht herausfallen. Ein Herausfallen der Schieberplatte 27 wird durch die Anschlaghaken 29 an der Leitschaufel 300 und den Absätzen 31 an der Schieberplatte 27 verhindert.In particular, in a pressurized position of the slider plate 27, in which a pressing force from the radially inner side of the stator blade platform 11 (in FIG Fig. 6a hidden below the Leitradschaufelplattform 11) on which the slide plate 27 acts, the slide plate 27 may protrude from the slot 53, but not fall out. Falling out of the slide plate 27 is prevented by the stop hooks 29 on the guide vane 300 and the paragraphs 31 on the slide plate 27.

Fig. 6b zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300 aus Fig. 6a in einer gedrehten, perspektivischer Ansicht von radial innen nach radial außen gesehen. Fig. 6b shows the guide vane 300 according to the invention Fig. 6a seen in a rotated, perspective view from radially inward to radially outward.

In dieser Ansicht ist die offene Zugangsbohrung 45 direkt einsehbar.In this view, the open access hole 45 is directly visible.

Fig. 7a zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300' aus den Fig. 5a und Fig. 5b in perspektivischer Ansicht. Fig. 7a shows the guide vane 300 'of the invention Fig. 5a and Fig. 5b in perspective view.

Gegenüber der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 300 aus den Fig. 4a, 4b, 4c und aus den Fig. 6a und 6b ist der Anschlaghaken 29' an der Leitschaufel 300' im äußeren Bereich der Leitradschaufelplattform 11' angeordnet. Der Absatz 31' der Schieberplatte 27' ist dagegen weiter innen angeordnet.Compared to the guide vane 300 according to the invention from the Fig. 4a . 4b, 4c and from the Fig. 6a and 6b is the stop hook 29 'on the vane 300' in the outer region of Stator blade platform 11 'arranged. The shoulder 31 'of the slide plate 27', however, is arranged further inside.

Die Schieberplatte 27' ragt über die äußere Begrenzung 43' der Leitradschaufelplattform 11' hinaus. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die Schieberplatte 27' im eingebauten Zustand der Leitschaufel 300' druckbeaufschlagt ist, das heißt, die Schieberplatte 27' ist in Folge einer druckbeaufschlagen Durchströmung (insbesondere eines Leckagestroms) durch die Zugangsbohrung 45' nach außen bewegt oder verschoben worden.The slide plate 27 'protrudes beyond the outer boundary 43' of the stator blade platform 11 '. This is particularly the case when the slide plate 27 'in the installed state of the guide vane 300' is pressurized, that is, the slide plate 27 'is due to a pressurized flow (in particular a leakage current) through the access hole 45' moves outwardly or moved Service.

Fig. 7b zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300' aus Fig. 7a in einer gedrehten, perspektivischer Ansicht von radial innen nach radial außen gesehen, mit der offenen Zugangsbohrung 45'. Fig. 7b shows the guide vane 300 'according to the invention Fig. 7a seen in a rotated perspective view from radially inward to radially outward, with the open access bore 45 '.

Fig. 8a zeigt drei unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen von Leitschaufeln 200, 300, 300' in einem Innenring 7 in perspektivischen Ansichten. Fig. 8a shows three different embodiments of guide vanes 200, 300, 300 'in an inner ring 7 in perspective views.

Die Leitschaufel 200 entspricht dem Stand der Technik und wurde in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 beschrieben.The vane 200 corresponds to the prior art and was in Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 described.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300 wurde in den Fig. 4a-c und Fig. 6a,b beschrieben, die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300' wurde in den Fig. 5a,b und Fig. 7a,b beschrieben.The guide vane 300 according to the invention was in the Fig. 4a-c and Fig. 6a, b described, the guide vane 300 'according to the invention was in the Fig. 5a, b and Fig. 7a, b described.

Fig. 8b zeigt zwei erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufeln 300 in einem gegenüber der Fig. 8a veränderten Stellwinkel. Als Stellwinkel wird der Winkel der Leitschaufel 300 um seine Längsachse bezeichnet. Die Leitschaufelprofile 3 der Leitschaufeln 300 sind in Fig. 8b gegenüber Fig. 8a weiter in Umfangsrichtung u ausgerichtet. Dieser veränderte Stellwinkel hat einen Einfluss auf die Schieberplatte 27. In Fig. 8a wird die Schieberplatte 27 der Leitschaufel 300 in eine Richtung schräg zur Umfangsrichtung u und zur Achsrichtung a bewegt, um den Spalt 41 (und den durch den Spalt hindurchtretenden einen Leckagestrom) mittels der Schieberplatte 27 abzudichten. In Fig. 8b ist die Schieberplatte 27 in eine Richtung fast parallel zur Achsrichtung a ausgerichtet, um den Spalt 41 abzudichten. Fig. 8b shows two guide vanes 300 according to the invention in a relation to the Fig. 8a changed adjustment angle. The angle of the vane 300 about its longitudinal axis is referred to as the adjusting angle. The vane profiles 3 of the guide vanes 300 are in Fig. 8b across from Fig. 8a further aligned in the circumferential direction u. This changed setting angle has an influence on the slide plate 27. In Fig. 8a the slide plate 27 of the vane 300 is moved in a direction oblique to the circumferential direction u and to the axial direction a, to seal the gap 41 (and the leakage current passing through the gap) by means of the slide plate 27. In Fig. 8b the slide plate 27 is aligned in a direction almost parallel to the axial direction a to seal the gap 41.

Fig. 8c zeigt die Anordnung der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufeln 300 aus Fig. 8b in einer anderen perspektivischen Ansicht. Fig. 8c shows the arrangement of the guide vanes 300 according to the invention Fig. 8b in another perspective view.

Je nach Stellwinkel der Leitschaufeln 300 kann zumindest ein Bereich der Leitschaufelplattform 11 über die Oberfläche des Innenrings 7 hinausragen. Die konstruktive Ausgestaltungen der Schieberplatte 27, des Schlitzes 53, des Anschlaghaken 29 und des Absatzes 31 wurden derart ausgeführt, dass ein Verklemmen weitgehend ausgeschlossen ist und die Funktion der Schieberplatte 27 sichergestellt wird. Dies wird insbesondere dadurch erreicht, dass die Anschlaghaken 29 mit unterschiedlichen Ausgestaltungsvarianten, wie beispielsweise der Positionierung der Drehpunktlage der Anschlagshaken 33 (siehe Fig. 4a), ausgeführt werden.Depending on the setting angle of the guide vanes 300, at least one region of the guide blade platform 11 may protrude beyond the surface of the inner ring 7. The constructive embodiments of the slide plate 27, the slot 53, the stop hook 29 and the paragraph 31 were carried out such that jamming is largely excluded and the function of the slide plate 27 is ensured. This is achieved in particular in that the stop hooks 29 with different design variants, such as the positioning of the pivot point of the stop hooks 33 (see Fig. 4a ).

Weiterhin kann die Form des über die äußere Begrenzung 43 der Leitradschaufelplattform 11 herausragenden Bereichs der Schieberplatte 27 und/oder der Positionierung (Tiefenlage) der Schieberplatte 27 mit dem korrespondierenden Anlagebereich 47 (siehe Fig. 4b und Fig. 4c) an der Bohrung des Innenrings 37 derart ausgeführt sein, dass dieser Anlagebereich 47 auch bei maximalen Verstellwinkeln und maximalem Verschleiß der Bohrung des Innenrings 37 (Versatz der Innenring-Bohrung) noch zustande kommt.Furthermore, the shape of the projecting beyond the outer boundary 43 of the Leitradschaufelplattform 11 region of the slide plate 27 and / or the positioning (depth) of the slide plate 27 with the corresponding abutment region 47 (see Fig. 4b and Fig. 4c ) be executed on the bore of the inner ring 37 such that this contact area 47 even at maximum Verstellwinkeln and maximum wear of the bore of the inner ring 37 (offset the inner ring bore) still comes about.

Fig. 9a zeigt eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300" mit einer weiteren Dichtungsvorrichtung 27" und zwei weiteren Anschlaghaken 29" in einer Montageposition zur Innenringmontage. In dieser Montageposition kann die Leitschaufel 300" in einen Innenring 7 (siehe Fig. 8a bis 8c) eingesetzt oder montiert werden. Der Innenring 7 wird durch den Kreis 37 oder die Bohrung 37 in Fig. 9a angedeutet. Fig. 9a shows a further guide vane 300 "according to the invention with a further sealing device 27" and two further stop hooks 29 "in a mounting position for inner ring mounting Fig. 8a to 8c ) are inserted or mounted. The inner ring 7 is through the circle 37 or the bore 37 in Fig. 9a indicated.

Die weitere Dichtungsvorrichtung 27" ist als Schieberplatte 27" ausgeführt. Sowohl die Schieberplatte 27" als auch die zwei weiteren Anschlaghaken 29" sind konstruktiv derart ausgeführt, dass die Schieberplatte 27" als elastisches Element auf oder über die Anschlaghaken 29" geschoben und montiert werden kann. Dieser Montagevorgang wird in den Fig. 11a bis 11d näher beschrieben.The further sealing device 27 "is designed as a slide plate 27". Both the slide plate 27 "and the two other stop hooks 29" are structurally designed such that the slide plate 27 "can be pushed and mounted as an elastic element on or over the stop hooks 29". This assembly process is in the Fig. 11a to 11d described in more detail.

Die weitere Zugangsbohrung 45' weist, im Gegensatz zu der zuvor dargestellten kreisrunden Zugangsbohrung 45 in den Fig. 4 bis 8, eine abgerundete Dreiecksform. Diese Dreiecksform weist eine gegenüber der kreisrunden Querschnittsform größere Querschnittsform zum Durchströmen von Fluid auf. Damit kann die durch diese Strömung verursachte Druckkraft vorteilhaft einfacher und besser die Schieberplatte 27" im Betriebszustand oder im Einsatzfall bewegen und den Spalt 41 zum Innenring 7 hin zumindest teilweise schließen. Damit kann die zuvor diskutierte Leckageströmung 25 zumindest teilweise reduziert werden.The further access hole 45 'has, in contrast to the previously shown circular access hole 45 in the Fig. 4 to 8 , a rounded triangular shape. This triangular shape has a relation to the circular cross-sectional shape larger cross-sectional shape to Flowing through fluid. In this way, the pressure force caused by this flow can advantageously and better move the slide plate 27 "in the operating state or in use and at least partially close the gap 41 towards the inner ring 7. Thus, the previously discussed leakage flow 25 can be at least partially reduced.

Fig. 9b zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300" aus Fig. 9a im geschlossenen Zustand. Im geschlossenen Zustand, im Gegensatz zum offenen Zustand oder Montagezustand aus Fig. 9a, verschließt der Schieber 27" den Spalt 41 in gewissen Bereichen. Dieser Bereich ist konstruktiv derart gewählt, dass eine Spaltströmung 25 oder Leckageströmung 25 (siehe Fig. 2) auf der Saugseite des Schaufelprofils 3 zumindest teilweise reduziert wird. Fig. 9b shows the guide vane 300 "according to the invention Fig. 9a in the closed state. In the closed state, unlike the open state or mounting state off Fig. 9a , the spool 27 "closes the gap 41 in certain areas. This area is structurally chosen such that a gap flow 25 or leakage flow 25 (see FIG Fig. 2 ) is at least partially reduced on the suction side of the blade profile 3.

Der Schieber 27" ist infolge der Druckkraft der Strömung durch die Zugangsbohrung 45' in Richtung des Verschiebewegs 28 bis zum Rand der Bohrung 37 des Innenrings 7 verschoben.The slider 27 "is displaced as a result of the pressure force of the flow through the access hole 45 'in the direction of the displacement path 28 to the edge of the bore 37 of the inner ring 7.

Der Schieber 27" liegt mit den beiden Absätzen 31" an den Anschlaghaken 29" an.The slider 27 "is located with the two paragraphs 31" on the stop hook 29 ".

Die Anordnung dieser erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 300" entspricht einer Variante, die keinen Drehpunkt 33 (siehe Fig. 4a) aufweist.The arrangement of this guide vane 300 "according to the invention corresponds to a variant which does not have a fulcrum 33 (see FIG Fig. 4a ) having.

Die Schnittebene B-B ist in Fig. 10c dargestellt.The section plane BB is in Fig. 10c shown.

Fig. 10a zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300" aus der Fig. 9b in einer perspektivischen Ansicht. Für den Schieber 27", den Anschlaghaken 29" etc. gilt die analoge Diskussion zu Fig. 6a. Fig. 10a shows the guide vane 300 "according to the invention from the Fig. 9b in a perspective view. For the slide 27 ", the stop hook 29" etc. the analogous discussion applies Fig. 6a ,

Fig. 10b zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300" aus der Fig. 9b in weiteren perspektivischen Ansicht. Die Diskussion zur Fig. 6b gilt hier analog für die geänderte Ausgestaltung des Schiebers 27", den Anschlaghakens 29" und weiterer geänderter Bereiche. Fig. 10b shows the guide vane 300 "according to the invention from the Fig. 9b in another perspective view. The discussion about Fig. 6b applies analogously to the modified embodiment of the slider 27 ", the stop hook 29" and other changed areas.

Fig. 10c zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Leitschaufel 300" aus der Fig. 9b als Schnittdarstellung B-B. In dieser Ansicht ist die Zugangsbohrung 45' zum Verschieben der Schieberplatte 27" innerhalb der Leitschaufelplattform 11 deutlich sichtbar. Fig. 10c shows the guide vane 300 "according to the invention from the Fig. 9b as a sectional view BB. In this view, the access bore 45 'is clearly visible within the vane platform 11 for moving the slide plate 27 ".

Fig. 11a zeigt den ersten Schritt zur Montage der Schieberplatte 27" auf die Anschlaghaken 29" der Leitschaufelplattform 11" der erfindungsgemäßen Leitschaufel 300". Fig. 11a shows the first step for mounting the slide plate 27 "on the stop hooks 29" of the guide vane platform 11 "of the guide vane 300" according to the invention.

Zunächst wird die Schieberplatte 27" mit dem oberen Absatz 31" an den oberen Anschlaghaken 29" angesetzt und eingehakt. Anschließend wird der untere Absatz 31" zunächst an den unteren Anschlaghaken 29" angesetzt oder angelegt.First, the slide plate 27 "is attached to the upper stop hook 29" with the upper shoulder 31 "and hooked in. Subsequently, the lower shoulder 31" is first applied or applied to the lower stop hook 29 ".

Fig. 11b zeigt den zweiten Schritt zur Montage der Schieberplatte 27" auf die Leitschaufelplattform 11". Die Schieberplatte 27" wird in Pfeilrichtung 55 bewegt oder gedrückt, so dass der untere Absatz 31" mittels einer elastischen Verformung der Schieberplatte 27" über den Anschlaghaken 29" geschoben werden kann. Dieser Vorgang kann als "einclipsen" bezeichnet werden. Fig. 11b shows the second step for mounting the slide plate 27 "on the vane platform 11". The slide plate 27 "is moved or pushed in the direction of arrow 55 so that the lower shoulder 31" can be pushed over the stop hook 29 "by means of an elastic deformation of the slide plate 27". This process can be referred to as "clip in".

Fig. 11c zeigt den dritten Schritt zur Montage der Schieberplatte 27". Die Schieberplatte 27" ist in der montierten Position und die Leitschaufel 300" kann auf den Innenring 7 aufgeschoben oder mit diesem verbunden werden (siehe Fig. 8a bis 8c). In dieser Montageposition ist der Spalt 41 noch nicht geschlossen. Fig. 11c shows the third step for mounting the slide plate 27 ". The slide plate 27" is in the mounted position and the guide vane 300 "can be pushed onto or connected to the inner ring 7 (see FIG Fig. 8a to 8c ). In this mounting position, the gap 41 is not yet closed.

Fig. 11d zeigt den vierten Schritt zur Montage der Schieberplatte 27". Dieser Schritt ist der eigentlichen Montage nicht mehr zuzurechnen.
