Genauer gesagt ist ein zum Kontakt mit dem Riegel 52 vorgesehenes Längsende 62a des Schraubenelements 62 mit einer ersten Kegelform ausgebildet, wobei das radial innerste Ende 52b des Riegels 52 mit einer zweiten Kegelform ausgebildet ist, so dass zwischen jeweiligen Mantelflächen der ersten und der zweiten More specifically, a longitudinal end 62a of the screw member 62 provided for contact with the latch 52 is formed in a first tapered shape, and the radially innermost end 52b of the latch 52 is formed with a second tapered shape such that between respective circumferential surfaces of the first and second
Kegelform Linienberührung realisiert ist. Bevorzugt weist die erste Kegelform einen Kegelwinkel α von etwa 20 Grad auf. Dementsprechend hat die zweite Kegelform bevorzugt einen Kegelwinkel (nicht bezeichnet) von etwa 70 Grad. Durch die oben beschriebene Konstruktion ist der Riegel 52 in Radialrichtung RR gesteuert verstellbar zwischen einer Entriegelungsposition (in den Figuren 1 und 2 nicht gezeigt), in der der Riegel 52 nicht in die Ausnehmung 51 der Laufschaufel 40 eingreift, und einer Verriegelungsposition (wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt), in der der Riegel 52 radial in die Ausnehmung 51 der Laufschaufel 40 eingreift, so dass er die Laufschaufel 40 mit einer vorbestimmten Kraft nach radial außen drückt. Conical line contact is realized. Preferably, the first conical shape has a cone angle α of about 20 degrees. Accordingly, the second cone shape preferably has a cone angle (not designated) of about 70 degrees. By the construction described above, the latch 52 is controllably controlled in the radial direction RR between an unlocking position (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) in which the latch 52 does not engage the recess 51 of the blade 40 and a latching position (as in FIGS 1 and 2), in which the latch 52 radially engages the recess 51 of the blade 40 so that it pushes the blade 40 radially outward with a predetermined force.
Dadurch, dass die Ausnehmung 51 zumindest in Dickenrichtung bzw. Characterized in that the recess 51 at least in the thickness direction or
Axialrichtung AR beidseitig mit Seitenwänden geschlossen ist, bietet der Riegel 52 in der Verriegelungsposition für die Seitenwände der Ausnehmung 51 einen beidseitigen Anschlag in Dickenrichtung bzw. Axialrichtung AR, so dass die Laufschaufel 40 in Dickenrichtung bzw. Axialrichtung AR gegen Bewegung fixiert ist. Axial direction AR is closed on both sides with side walls, the bolt 52 provides in the locking position for the side walls of the recess 51 a two-sided stop in the thickness direction or axial direction AR, so that the blade 40 is fixed in the thickness direction or axial direction AR against movement.
Dadurch, dass der Riegel 52 in der Verriegelungsposition die Laufschaufel 40 mit einer vorbestimmten Kraft nach radial außen drückt, wird ein in den Zahnprofilen 33, 43 der Nutseiten und der Schaufelfußseiten zur Montage und Demontage der Laufschaufel 40 in der Nut 32 vorgesehenes Spiel aufgebraucht und damit die Laufschaufel unter Beaufschlagung mit einer vorbestimmten Vorspannkraft inCharacterized in that the latch 52 in the locking position, the blade 40 presses with a predetermined force radially outward, a game provided in the tooth profiles 33, 43 of the groove sides and the Schaufelfußseiten for mounting and dismounting of the blade 40 in the groove 32 game and thus the blade under the action of a predetermined biasing force in

Durch die beschriebene Ausgestaltung der Stellvorrichtung 60 lässt sich die vorbestimmte Kraft bzw. die vorbestimmte Vorspannkraft (radiale Verspannung) nach radial außen in einfacher und wiederholbarer Weise z.B. mittels eines Momentenschlüssels zur Betätigung des Schraubenelements 62 vordefinieren. As a result of the described configuration of the adjusting device 60, the predetermined force or the predetermined prestressing force (radial tensioning) can be displaced radially outwards in a simple and repeatable manner, e.g. predefined by means of a torque wrench for actuating the screw member 62.
Dadurch, dass der Riegel 52 in seine Entriegelungsposition, in der er außer Eingriff mit der Ausnehmung 51 der Laufschaufel 40 ist, versenkbar ist, kann das Spiel in den Zahnprofilen 33, 43 der Nutseiten und der Schaufelfußseiten wieder freigegeben werden, so dass die Laufschaufel 40 sowohl bei ihrer Montage an als auch bei ihrer Demontage von der Radscheibe 30 einfach und schnell axial in die Nut 32 hinein bzw. aus der Nut 32 heraus schiebbar ist. Characterized in that the latch 52 in its unlocked position in which it is out of engagement with the recess 51 of the blade 40, retractable, the game in the tooth profiles 33, 43 of the groove sides and the blade root sides again be released so that the blade 40 both in their assembly to and during their disassembly of the wheel disc 30 is easy and fast axially into the groove 32 into or out of the groove 32 pushed out.
Wie aus der Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, ist die Ausnehmung 51 bevorzugt in Form einer allseitig von Material der Laufschaufel 40 bzw. von Seitenwänden umgrenzten Senke in der Unterseite 44 der Laufschaufel 40 gebildet, wobei ein zum Eingriff in der Ausnehmung 51 vorgesehenes radial äußerstes Ende 52a des Riegels 52 in seiner Form komplementär zur Form der Ausnehmung 51 ausgebildet ist. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Ausnehmung 51 als Hüllkontur bzw. Negativ zur Außenkontur einer Kugelkalotte (bzw. Kugelsegment oder Kugelabschnitt) ausgebildet, wobei das radial äußerste Ende 52a des Riegels 52 eine der Außenkontur dieser As can be seen from the combination of Figures 1 and 2, the recess 51 is preferably formed in the form of an all-round material of the blade 40 and sidewalls delimited sink in the bottom 44 of the blade 40, wherein a provided for engagement in the recess 51 radially extreme end 52a of the bolt 52 is formed in its shape complementary to the shape of the recess 51. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the recess 51 is formed as a Hüllkontur or negative to the outer contour of a spherical cap (or ball segment or ball portion), wherein the radially outermost end 52a of the bolt 52 one of the outer contour of this
Kugelkalotte entsprechende Form aufweist. Mit anderen Worten ist die Ball dome corresponding shape. In other words, that is
Ausnehmung 51 als kugeliger Sitz für das etwa halbkugelförmige radial äußerste Ende 52a des Riegels 52 ausgebildet. Recess 51 is formed as a spherical seat for the approximately hemispherical radially outermost end 52 a of the bolt 52.
Im Fazit ist das erfindungsgemäße Laufrad 20 so konfiguriert, dass dessen Laufschaufeln 40 mit geringerem Zeitaufwand montierbar und demontierbar sind und mit definierter radialer Verspannung in ihren jeweiligen axial verlaufenden Nuten 32 fixierbar sind. In conclusion, the impeller 20 according to the invention is configured such that its moving blades 40 can be mounted and dismounted with less expenditure of time and can be fixed in their respective axially extending grooves 32 with a defined radial tension.
