Powell, Jr. Attorney-Harry G. Martin, Jr. and .1. Raymond Curtin 14 1 July re, r973 5 7 ABSTRACT The invention has to do with a blade disc structure for turbo rotors, and more particularly, with the sealing ring structure therefor. The blade disc is formed with a peripheral cylindrical rim surface and an outwardly extending rib portion formed intermediate the sides of the rim. The root portions of the blades are fixedly mounted in the rib portion of the disc. The cylindrical peripheral rim surface of the disc is formed with a circumferentially extending shoulder spaced axially from each side of the rib portion. The rib portion is formed, at each side, with a circular shoulder spaced concentrically outwardly from the rim portion. Sealing ring members are positioned between the rim shoulders and each side of the rib and having a snug fit therewith. Caulking ring sections are positioned between the periphery of the sealing ring members and the shoulder formed in the rib portion. The caulking ring sections have snug engagement with the periphery of the sealing ring structure and the inner surface of the shoulder formed on the rib portion. The caulking ring sections are retained in place, preferably by peening areas in the sides of the rib portion over the outer surface of the caulking ring sections.
8 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures Patented July 10, 1973 FIG 4 I V BLADE DKSC STRUCTURE FOR TURBOMACHINES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is common practice to form blade carrying discs in turbomachines with a radial rib portion in which the roots of the blades are fixedly interlocked by a form of dovetail construction. A ring is positioned at each side of the rib portion, the ring serving to prevent axial movement of the blades in the discs, and to also provide a cylindrical surface for engagement by labyrinth seal structures carried in the inner ends of the stationary blades of the machine.
Such rings are attached to the discs by a plurality of cap screws. This procedure necessitates drilling a multiplicity of holes through the sealing ring structure and in the rib portion of the disc. The latter holes have to be tapped to receive the retaining screws. This invention has as an object a structural arrangement by which the sealing ring structure is fixedly secured to the disc without the use of screw fasteners, and without the drilling and tapping procedures referred to.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The cylindrical rim of the disc is formed with a shoulder spaced axially from each side of the central rib portion of the disc. Each side of the rib portion is formed with a circumferentially extending shoulder arranged in concentrically spaced relation to the rim portion. A sealing rim structure, consisting of two or more arcuate sections, is positioned to encircle the rim portion of the disc intermediate the shoulder formed thereon and the confronting side of the rib portion. A caulking ring structure, preferably consisting of a plurality of arcuate members, is inserted between the periphery of the sealing ring structure and the shoulder formed in the rib portion of the disc. These caulking ring sections have a tight engagement with the sealing ring members and rib shoulder and are conveniently retained in place by peening the rib portion over the outer surface of the caulking members.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. l is a partial sectional view of a rotor structure embodying my invention, the view including two blade discs;
FIG. 2 is a view taken on a line corresponding to line 22, FIG. 1, the adjacent stationary blade being omitted from the figure;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 3--3, FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a view taken on line 4--4, FIG. 3.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The rotor structure includes blade discs mounted for rotation with the shaft ll about the axis thereof. Each disc is formed with a hub 12 and a discoidal portion 13 extending radially outwardly from the hub and terminating in a cylindrical rim portion 14. Each disc is also formed with a circumferential rib 17 extending radially outwardly from the rim portion 14, intermediate the sides thereof.
A circular series of blades 21 are fixedly mounted in the rib portion 17, as by a dovetail structure or the like as shown at 22 in FIG. 4. The rim portion M of the disc is formed with shoulders spaced axially from the sides of the rib portion 117. The rib portion 17 is formed in each side thereof with a circumferentially extending shoulder 23. The shoulders 23 are spaced radially outwardly from the rim portion 143. The shoulders Ztl are conveniently and economically formed by simply machining a recess in the peripheral surface of the rim portion 114i. Also, the shoulders 23 may be formed in like manner by machining a circular recess in each side of the rib portion 17.
A sealing ring structure consisting of two or more arcuate members 25, 26, see FIGS. 2 and 3. The sealing ring sections 25 are dimensioned axially for a snug fit between the shoulders 2% on the rim portion 114 and the confronting side wall of the rib 317. The peripheral surface of the sealing rings 25 are spaced inwardly from the rib shoulders 23.
A caulking ring structure which may consist of a plurality of arcuate sections 28 is positioned between the periphery of the sealing ring members 25 and the shoulders 23. The caulking ring members 2% have an axial length coextensive with the axial length of the shoulders 23, and have a radial dimension providing a snug fit between the periphery of the sealing ring sections 25 and the shoulders 23. The caulking ring sections 28 may be retained in place by portions of the rib section l7 being peened over the outer surface of the caulking ring sections as indicated at 3%, H6. 3.
The sealing ring sections 25 have an axial length sufficient to provide on their perimeters a cylindrical sealing surface 32 cooperable with labyrinth seal structures 33 carried by the stationary blade members 35.
In addition to providing the sealing surface, the seal: ing rings 25 overlap the inner root portions of the blades 21 to prevent axial displacement from the discs 10.
It will be apparent this invention effects a substantial reduction in the cost of fabricating and assembling the rotor structure.
While a preferred embodiment of this invention has been described for purposes of illustration, it will be appreciated that this invention may be otherwise embodied within the scope of the following claims.
