The present invention relates to a positioning device that positions an inner member, which is disposed on an inner circumferential side of an outer member and extends in a circumferential direction around an axis, with respect to the outer member, which extends in the circumferential direction around the axis, a rotary machine having the positioning device, and a positioning method. Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-262891, filed Dec. 19, 2013, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
A rotary machine, such as a steam turbine, a gas turbine, or a compressor, includes a rotor shaft, an outer member such as a casing which extends in a circumferential direction around the rotor shaft, and an inner member that is disposed on an inner circumferential side of the outer member and extends in the circumferential direction around the rotor shaft. In such a rotary machine, a positioning device may be used to position the inner member relative to the rotor shaft which has been positioned relative to the outer member.
An example of such a positioning device is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Application, Publication No. S61-017104. The positioning device includes a radial pin that is inserted into a pin insertion hole of a casing as the outer member and a groove of a blade ring as the inner member, a liner that is disposed between a tip of the radial pin and a groove side surface of the groove, and a bolt that fixes the liner to the tip of the radial pin. A groove contact surface coming in contact with the groove side surface and a pin contact surface coming in contact with the tip of the radial pin are formed in the liner. A screw insertion hole which penetrates the liner from the groove contact surface to the pin contact surface and into which a threaded portion of the bolt is inserted and a bolt head receiving recess that communicates with the screw insertion hole and receives the bolt head of the bolt are formed in the liner.
In the technique described in JP Publication No. S61-017104, a specific liner in which a gap dimension between the groove contact surface and the pin contact surface has been adjusted needs to be separately manufactured or a plurality of liners having different gap dimensions between the groove contact surface and the pin contact surface need to be prepared in advance in order to position the inner member relative to the rotor shaft which has been positioned relative to the outer member. It is necessary to form the screw insertion hole and the bolt head receiving recess in the liner described in JP Publication No. S61-017104. Accordingly, in the technique described in JP Publication No. S61-017104, whether a specific liner is separately manufactured or a plurality of liners are prepared in advance as described above, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the positioning device increases.
Therefore, the present invention is made in consideration of the problem in the background art and an object thereof is to provide a technique capable of suppressing an increase in the manufacturing cost of a positioning device.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a positioning device that positions an inner member, which is disposed on an inner circumferential side of an outer member and extends in a circumferential direction around an axis, relative to the outer member, which extends in the circumferential direction around the axis, the positioning device including: a pin that is inserted into a pin insertion hole and a groove, the pin insertion hole penetrating the outer member from an outer circumferential side of the outer member to the inner circumferential side of the outer member, and the groove being concave from an outer circumferential side of the inner member to an inner circumferential side of the inner member; a liner holder that comes in contact with a groove side surface of the groove; and a liner that is disposed between the liner holder and the pin in the groove.
Since the positioning device includes the liner holder, it is not necessary to form a bolt head receiving recess (or a screw head receiving recess) that receives a head of a bolt (or a screw) fixing the liner to the pin. Accordingly, even when a plurality of liners having different thicknesses are prepared in advance, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing cost of the positioning device.

According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing cost of a positioning device.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a positioning device according to the present invention and a rotary machine having the positioning device and modified examples of the positioning device will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the embodiment of the positioning device according to the present invention and the rotary machine having the positioning device will be described with reference to
A rotary machine according to this embodiment is a steam turbine. As shown in
The rotor 1 includes a rotor shaft 2 that extends in the axial direction Da around the axis Ar and a plurality of blades 3 that are arranged in the circumferential direction Dc and are fixed to the rotor shaft 2. The annular blade ring 5 is provided with a plurality of vanes 9, which are arranged in the circumferential direction Dc, at positions on an inner circumferential side of the blade ring 5 and upstream from the blades 3 of the rotor 1. In the steam turbine, a tubular space between the outer circumferential side of the rotor shaft 2 and the inner circumferential side of the annular blade ring 5, that is, a space in which the blades 3 and the vanes 9 are arranged, serves as a steam channel. The annular blade ring 5 includes an upper-half blade ring 6x on the upper side of the axis Ar and a lower-half blade ring 6y on the lower side. The upper-half blade ring 6x and the lower-half blade ring 6y each form a semicircular shape with respect to the axis Ar and are connected to each other at ends in the circumferential direction Dc with bolts or the like. The annular casing 10 includes an upper-half casing 11x on the upper side of the axis Ar and a lower-half casing 11y on the lower side. The upper-half casing 11x and the lower-half casing 11y each form a semicircular shape with respect to the axis Ar and are connected to each other at ends in the circumferential direction Dc with bolts or the like.
A groove 18 that is concave from the inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side is formed at the ends in the circumferential direction Dc of the lower-half casing 11y. A protrusion 19 that protrudes to the outer circumferential side is formed at the ends in the circumferential direction Dc of the lower-half blade ring 6y, and the protrusion 19 is fitted to the groove 18. By fitting of the protrusion 19 to the groove 18, the lower-half blade ring 6y is constrained so as not to be movable in the vertical direction Dv and the axial direction Da relative to the lower-half casing 11y. A protrusion (not shown) that protrudes to the inner circumferential side is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the lower-half casing 11y over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction Dc, while a groove (not shown) that is concave to the inner circumferential side over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction Dc is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the lower-half blade ring 6y, and the protrusion is fitted to the groove over the entire circumference. Accordingly, the lower-half blade ring 6y is constrained so as not to be movable in the axial direction Da relative to the lower-half casing 11y. The same fitting portions in the circumferential direction are formed in the upper-half casing 11x and the upper-half blade ring 6x. When the positioning device 20 is not set, the lower-half blade ring 6y is movable relative to the lower-half casing 11y in the horizontal direction Dh. When the positioning device 20 is not set, the upper-half blade ring 6x is movable relative to the upper-half casing 11x in the horizontal direction Dh.
In this embodiment, the upper-half blade ring 6x and the lower-half blade ring 6y constitute the inner member, and the upper-half casing 11x and the lower-half casing 11y constitute the outer member. Hereinafter, the upper-half blade ring 6x and the lower-half blade ring 6y may be simply referred to as half blade rings 6, and the upper-half casing 11x and the lower-half casing 11y may be simply referred to as half casings 11.
As the positioning device 20, a lower positioning device 20 that positions the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the lower-half casing 11y and an upper positioning device 20 that positions the upper-half blade ring 6x relative to the upper-half casing 11x are provided. The upper positioning device 20 and the lower positioning device 20 have the same structure. Accordingly, the lower positioning device 20 will be described mainly below.
As shown in
In the half blade ring 6, a pin groove 7 that is concave from the outer circumferential side to the inner circumferential side is formed at a position which faces the pin insertion hole 12 of the half casing 11 in the radial direction Dr. As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The diameter of the cylindrical insertion portion 22 is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the pin insertion hole 12 of the half casing 11.
A side circumferential surface 23c that extends from a part of the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical insertion portion 22 and a pair of liner contact surfaces 24 that are located inside a virtual outer circumferential surface extending from the outer circumferential surface of the insertion portion 22 are formed in the groove insertion portion 23. The virtual outer circumferential surface is a virtual surface extending from the outer circumferential surface of the insertion portion 22 in an insertion direction Dp in which a pin axis Ap (see
The head flange 28 has a disk shape centered on the pin axis Ap. The diameter of the head flange 28 is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical insertion portion 22 and the inner diameter of the pin insertion hole 12 of the half casing 11 and is smaller than the inner diameter of the flange receiving recess 13 of the half casing 11. In the head flange 28, an annular seal groove 29 centered on the pin axis Ap is formed on the surface on which the insertion portion 22 is formed. The seal member 55 has a ring shape and a part of the seal member 55 is inserted into the seal groove 29.
As shown in
The locking tool 65 includes a locking screw 66 that can be screwed into a locking screw hole 15 adjacent to the pin insertion hole 12 of the half casing 11 and a wire 68 that connects the screw head 63 of the pin holding screw 61 to the screw head 67 of the locking screw 66. The wire 68 may be directly connected to the screw head 63 of the pin holding screw 61 and the screw head 67 of the locking screw 66, but may be connected to the screw heads 63 and 67 via a pin fitted to the screw heads 63 and 67 of the screws 61 and 66.
The first liner holder 31a and the second liner holder 31b have the same shape. Therefore, only the first liner holder 31a will be described below. As shown in
As shown in
That is, when the liner 41 is disposed between the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21 and the liner holder 31, the liner 41 can be disposed at a position other than the positions of the engaging portions 25 and 26 of the groove insertion portion 23 and the engaged portions 35 and 36 of the liner holder 31. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the liner 41 is not likely to stick to the pin 21 and the liner 41 can be easily detached from the pin 21 when the positioning device 20 is detached.
As shown in
A positioning method of the half blade ring 6 using the above-described positioning device 20 will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in
First, the above-described positioning device 20 is prepared (S0: preparing step). That is, the pin 21, the liner 41, the liner holder 31, the fixing screw (liner fitting) 51, the seal member 55, the pin holding screw 61, and the locking tool 65 which constitute the positioning device 20 are prepared. At this time, a plurality of liners 41 having different thicknesses are prepared.
Before the positioning work is actually started, the lower-half blade ring 6y is separated from the lower-half casing 11y. The rotor 1 is not supported by a bearing unit (not shown) which is disposed in the lower-half casing 11y.
When the positioning work is actually started, first, the lower-half blade ring 6y is hung by a crane or the like and the lower-half blade ring 6y is put into the lower-half casing 11y. In the course of this process, as shown in
As shown in
Then, as shown in
Then, a displacement of the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the rotor 1 or the lower-half casing 11y in the horizontal direction Dh is measured (S3: displacement measuring step). Since the position of the rotor 1 relative to the lower-half casing 11y in the horizontal direction Dh is determined already, the displacement of the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the rotor 1 in the horizontal direction Dh is equal to the displacement of the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the lower-half casing 11y in the horizontal direction Dh.
Then, the liner 41 having the thickness corresponding to the displacement measured in the displacement measuring step (S3) is selected and the selected liner 41 is attached to the pin 21 (S4: adjusted pin assembling step). Specifically, for example, as shown in
In a state in which the liners 41 and the liner holders 31 are fixed to the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21, the liner holders 31 are located inside the virtual outer circumferential surface extending from the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical insertion portion 22.
Then, the lower-half blade ring 6y which has been temporarily positioned is temporarily held with a crane or the like so as to be movable in the horizontal direction Dh (S5: temporary holding step).
Then, as shown in
Subsequently, as shown in
As described above, the side circumferential surface 23c extending from a part of the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical insertion portion 22 is formed in the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21. In a state in which the liners 41 and the liner holders 31 are fixed to the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21, the liner holders 31 are located inside the above-described virtual outer circumferential surface extending from the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical insertion portion 22. In the liner 41, the tapered surface 34 is formed on the pin insertion side thereof. Accordingly, the adjusted pin 21b can be easily inserted into the pin insertion hole 12 of the lower-half casing 11y and the pin groove 7 of the lower-half blade ring 6y.
Then, the pin holding screw 61 is screwed into the flange receiving recess 13 communicating with the pin insertion hole 12 of the lower-half casing 11y. When the pin holding screw 61 is screwed, the tip of the pin holding screw 61 comes in contact with the head flange 28 of the adjusted pin 21b. That is, the adjusted pin 21b is prevented from being pulled out from the pin insertion hole 12 by the pin holding screw 61. Then, as shown in
The temporary holding of the lower-half casing 11y using the crane or the like is released (S8: temporary hold releasing step).
In this way, the positioning of the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the lower-half casing 11y in the horizontal direction Dh is completed.
In the above description, after the displacement measuring step (S3) and before the temporary holding step (S5) of the lower-half blade ring 6y, the adjusted pin assembling step (S6) is performed. However, the adjusted pin assembling step (S6) may be performed at any time after the displacement measuring step (S3) and before the positioning device attaching step (S7). In the above description, the locking tool 65 is attached immediately after the adjusted pin 21b and the pin holding screw 61 are attached. However, the attachment of the locking tool 65 may be performed after the basic assembly of the steam turbine is completed.
The method of positioning the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the lower-half casing 11y has been described hitherto, but the method of positioning the upper-half blade ring 6x relative to the upper-half casing 11x basically has the same order as the above-described positioning method. In this case, however, the rotor arranging step (S2) is not performed. Specifically, first, the upper-half casing 11x is temporarily fixed such that the inner surface thereof faces the upside, and the upper-half blade ring 6x is temporarily positioned relative to the upper-half casing 11x using the temporary positioning device 20a (S1: temporary positioning step). Then, the displacement of the upper-half blade ring 6x relative to the upper-half casing 11x in the horizontal direction Dh is measured (S3: displacement measuring step). Subsequently, in the same way as in the method of positioning the lower-half blade ring 6y relative to the lower-half casing 11y, the adjusted pin assembly step (S4) and the like are performed. Thereafter, the adjusted positioning device 20b is detached and the upper-half blade ring 6x is detached from the upper-half casing 11x. Then, the upper-half blade ring 6x, the upper-half casing 11x, and the adjusted positioning device 20b are assembled into the lower-half blade ring 6y and the lower-half casing 11y.
As described above, since the positioning device 20 according to this embodiment includes the liner holders 31, it is not necessary to form the bolt receiving recess like the liner described in Patent Literature 1 in the liners 41. Accordingly, it is possible to easily manufacture the liners 41 and to suppress the manufacturing cost of the positioning device 20 even when a plurality of liners 41 are prepared in advance. Since the liner 41 is inserted between the liner holder 31 and the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21, it is possible to prevent contact of the liner 41 with steam and to suppress corrosion of the liner 41.
In this embodiment, since the first engaging recesses 25 and the second engaging recess 26 are formed in the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21 and the first engaged convex portions 35 and the second engaged convex portion 36 are formed in the liner holder 31, the liner holder 31 can be easily and accurately attached to a predetermined position of the pin 21. In this embodiment, the pair of first engaging recesses 25 are formed in the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21 so as to be long in the insertion direction Dp in which the pin axis Ap extends with a gap therebetween, and the pair of first engaged convex portions 35 inserted into the engaging recesses are formed in the liner holder 31 so as to be long in the insertion direction Dp with a gap therebetween. The liner 41 is disposed between the pair of first engaging recesses 25 and the pair of first engaged convex portions 35. Accordingly, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the contact of the liner 41 with steam from both sides in the width direction thereof.
When it is intended to pull out the pin 21 from the pin groove 7 in a state in which the wall surface of the pin groove 7 and the liner holder 31 stick to each other, there is a possibility that an excessive load will be applied to the fixing screw 51 fixing the liner holder 31 to the pin 21, the fixing screw 51 will be destroyed, and the liner holder 31 will be left in the pin groove 7. In this embodiment, the second engaging recesses 26 and the second engaged convex portions 36 are both formed to be long in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction Dp. Accordingly, when the pin 21 is moved in the insertion direction Dp, the liner holder 31 moves in the insertion direction Dp along with the pin 21. Accordingly, in this embodiment, when the pin 21 is detached from the pin groove 7 and the pin insertion hole 12, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the liner holder 31 will be left in the pin groove 7.
In this embodiment, since the seal member 55 is disposed between the head flange 28 of the pin 21 and the bottom surface of the flange receiving recess 13 of the half casing 11, it is possible to prevent steam in the casing 10 from leaking to the outside via the pin insertion hole 12 of the casing 10.
In this embodiment, since the pin holding screw 61 is screwed into the flange receiving recess 13 communicating with the pin insertion hole 12, it is possible to prevent the pin 21 from dropping from the pin insertion hole 12. In this embodiment, when the pin 21 inserted into the pin insertion hole 12 is detached, it is possible to simply detach the pin 21 by loosening the pin holding screw 61 and detaching the pin holding screw 61. In this embodiment, since the looseness of the pin holding screw 61 can be regulated using the locking tool 65, it is possible to prevent the pin 21 from dropping with the dropping of the pin holding screw 61. The head of the pin 21 or the threaded portion 62 of the pin holding screw 61 may be caulked in the half casing 11 using a punch or the like.
Various modified examples of the above-described positioning device 20 will be described below.
The screw insertion portion 42 of the liner 41 in the embodiment is a hole formed in the liner 41. However, the screw insertion portion does not have to be a hole as long as the threaded portion 52 of the fixing screw 51 can be inserted thereinto. For example, as shown in
In the embodiment the engaging portions (the first engaging recesses 25 and the second engaging recesses 26) of the pin 21 are concave portions, and the engaged portions (the first engaged convex portions 35 and the second engaged convex portions 36) of the liner holders 31 are convex portions. However, to the contrary, the engaging portions of the pin 21 may be convex portions and the engaged portions of the liner holders 31 may be concave portions.
In this embodiment, the liners 41 are respectively disposed in the space between the first liner holder 31a and the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21 and the space between the second liner holder 31b and the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21. However, depending on the displacement in the horizontal direction Dh measured in the displacement measuring step (S3), the liner 41 may be disposed in only one space of the space between the first liner holder 31a and the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21 and the space between the second liner holder 31b and the groove insertion portion 23 of the pin 21.
In this embodiment, the pin holding screw 61 is used to prevent the pin 21 from dropping from the pin insertion hole 12. However, the head of the pin 21 may be welded to the half casing 11 without using the pin holding screw 61.
The positioning device 20 according to this embodiment determines the position of the half blade ring 6 as the inner member relative to the half casing 11 as the outer member. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. As long as the outer member extends in the circumferential direction Dc around the axis Ar, the outer member does not have to be the half casing 11. As long as the inner member is disposed on the inner circumferential side of the outer member and extends in the circumferential direction Dc around the axis Ar, the inner member does not need to be the half blade ring 6. The present invention may be applied to another rotary machine such as a gas turbine or a compressor other than the steam turbine.
According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to suppress an increase in the manufacturing cost of a positioning device.
