Description




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a shroud integral type moving blade and a split ring of a gas turbine which can prevent the leakage flow of a gas path (combustion gas main flow). It is noted that “blade midpoint” indicates a certain position from the leading edge of a blade to the trailing edge thereof in this specification.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




Generally, a gas turbine consists of a casing, a rotor which is attached rotatably to the casing, a plurality of stationary blades which are annularly arranged in the casing, and a plurality of moving blades which are annularly arranged in the rotor. The gas turbine produces power by the rotation of the moving blades and the rotor when combustion gas passes through the stationary blades and the moving blades.




A shroud integral type moving blade and a split ring of the gas turbine will be explained in detail with reference to

FIGS. 17 and 18

.




In

FIG. 17

, reference symbol


1


denotes a shroud integral type moving blade. The shroud integral type moving blade


1


is constituted so that a plate shroud (a tip shroud or a shroud cover)


3


is provided integrally with the tip of a moving blade


2


. In

FIG. 17

, the shroud integral type moving blade


1


is on a rear stage side, e.g., in the third or fourth stage.




An inner side surface


4


of the shroud


3


is inclined along a gas path


5


which is indicated by an arrow of a solid line in FIG.


17


. Namely, the radius of the inner side surface


4


of the shroud


3


(radius from the rotary shaft of the rotor) gradually increases from the upstream side of the gas path


5


to the downstream side thereof.




A seal fin


7


is provided integrally on an outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


. As shown in

FIG. 18

, the seal fin


7


is extended in the rotation direction of the shroud integral type moving blade


1


(indicated by a blank arrow in FIG.


18


). In addition, the adjacent shrouds


3


are provided to be continuous to each other, whereby the seal fin


7


is shaped into a ring in the rotation direction of the shroud integral type moving blade


1


. The ring-shaped seal fin


7


seals the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


from the flat inner peripheral surface


12


of a split ring


10


to be explained later, while facing the flat inner peripheral surface


12


of the split ring


10


.




Contacts


8


are provided integrally on both ends of (the seal fin


7


of) the shroud


3


, respectively. A contact surface


9


is provided on the outer side surface of each contact


8


. As shown in

FIG. 18

, the contact surfaces


9


of the adjacent shrouds


3


frictionally abut on each other, whereby the shrouds


3


are provided continuous to each other.




The shroud integral type moving blade


1


functions as follows.




1. The sealing function of the seal fin


7


decreases pressure loss and leakage flow rate caused by the clearance between the blade


1


and the flat inner peripheral surface


12


of the split ring


10


.




2. The reinforcing function of the shroud


3


integral with the tip of the moving blade


2


increases characteristic frequency and improves vibration intensity.




3. The function of the frictional abutment of the contact surfaces


9


enables increasing vibration damping.




In

FIG. 17

, reference symbol


10


denotes a split ring. The split ring


10


is arranged on the casing side to support stationary blades. The inner peripheral surface


11


of the split ring


10


, similarly to the inner side surface


4


of the shroud


3


, is inclined along the gas path


5


. A part


12


on the inner peripheral surface


11


of the split ring


10


, which faces the shroud integral type moving blade


1


is of a flat shape recessed outward.




In recent years, gas turbines which ensure high turbine efficiency and which have large capacity have been mainly employed. It, therefore, becomes necessary to increase work responsible for each blade of each step and the distance from the rotary shaft of the rotor to the tip of each moving blade (the radius of the tip of the moving blade) tends to be longer. Accordingly, a higher bending stress resulting from a centrifugal force acts on the shroud


3


of the shroud integral type moving blade


1


.




As a result, it is necessary to suppress the high bending stress resulting from the centrifugal force and acting on the shroud


3


to an allowable value or below. To this end, the shroud


3


is cut from a state indicated by a two-dot chain line into a state indicated by a solid line (to have a winglet shape) so as to make the shroud


3


lighter in weight as shown in FIG.


18


.




Nevertheless, if the shroud


3


is cut into a winglet shape, a void


14


is formed near a throat


13


after cutting the shroud


3


as shown in FIG.


18


. This void


14


ranges widely as shown in FIG.


18


.




Meanwhile, a large cavity cross-sectional area


15


(portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 17

) is formed between the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


and the flat inner peripheral surface


12


of the split ring


10


on the downstream side of the seal fin


7


in the conventional shroud integral type moving blade


1


and the conventional split ring


10


.




Because of the large cavity cross-sectional area


15


, leakage flows


16


and


17


(indicated by arrows of broken lines in

FIGS. 17 and 18

) occur from the gas path


5


in the conventional shroud integral type moving blade


1


and split ring


10


, as shown in

FIGS. 17 and 18

.




The leakage flow


16


, in particular, slips out of the gas path


5


through the void


14


near the throat


13


, temporarily enters the cavity


15


between the shroud


3


and the split ring


10


and joins again with the gas path


5


from the cavity


15


. On the other hand, the leakage flow


17


temporarily enters between the shroud


3


and the split ring


10


from the gas path


5


. However, the leakage flow


17


is shut off by the seal fin


7


.




As can be seen, much pressure loss occurs to the conventional shroud integral type moving blade


1


and split ring


10


since the leakage flow


16


interferes and mixes with the gas path


5


. In addition, the leakage flow


16


shifts the efflux angle of the moving blade


2


(throat area S, see

FIG. 3

) from a design value. If the efflux angle is shifted from the design value, a pressure ratio and the degree of reaction are shifted from respective design values, resulting in the deterioration of efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION




Nine embodiments of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention will be explained hereinafter with reference to

FIGS. 1

to


16


. It is noted that the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring are not limited by these embodiments.




A first embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIGS. 1

to


4


show the first embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In the figures, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 17 and 18

denote the same elements, respectively.




A gas turbine in the first embodiment includes a shroud integral type moving blade


100


and a split ring


105


. The inner side surface


4


of a shroud


3


is inclined along a gas path


5


. A seal fin


7


which seals the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


from the inner peripheral surface


106


of the split ring


105


while facing the inner peripheral surface


106


of the split ring


105


, is provided on the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


.




The shroud integral type moving blade


100


has the following structure. The shroud


3


is provided to spread from the leading edge


101


of the tip of the moving blade


2


to the trailing edge


102


thereof. The radius of a seal fin tip end


103


is substantially equal to that of the end


104


of a shroud trailing edge. “Substantially equal” means herein that the following expression is satisfied, {(the height of the seal fin tip end


103


)−(the end


104


of the shroud trailing edge)}/{(the height of the seal fin tip end


103


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


)}<1%. In this expression, the denominator {(the height of the seal fin tip end


103


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


)} is equal to a length L which is given by subtracting the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


from the height of the seal fin tip end


103


as shown in FIG.


2


. This expression means that an error between the design value of a throat area S (which is the area of a throat


13


and which is the area of a rectangle indicated by slashes in

FIG. 3

) and an actual throat area S is set to fall within 1%. This expression is based on the fact that if the throat area has a change of not more than 1%, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the stage efficiency of the turbine as much as possible.




The split ring


105


has a structure in which the radius of the inner peripheral surface (flat inner peripheral surface)


106


of the split ring


105


is slightly larger than that of the seal fin tip end


103


and that of the shroud trailing edge end


104


, for preventing the leakage flow


107


of the gas path


5


.




In the first embodiment, a clearance


108


between the seal fin tip end


103


and the shroud trailing edge end


104


of the shroud integral type moving blade


100


and the inner peripheral surface


106


of the split ring


105


can be set small to such an extent that the tip end


103


and the end


104


do not contact with the inner peripheral surface


106


even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the first embodiment, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


110


(which is a portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 1

) which is present between the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


and the inner peripheral surface


106


of the split ring


105


on the downstream side of the seal fin


7


, in accordance with the clearance


108


. Therefore, the leakage flow


107


which slips out of the gas path


5


through a void near the throat


13


is shut off by the inner peripheral surface


106


of the split ring


105


. As is obvious from the above, even if a winglet type shroud


3


is employed, it is possible to prevent the leakage flow


107


of the gas path


5


. In other words, the leakage flow


107


of the gas path


5


through the clearance


108


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency. In the first embodiment, however, by minimizing the clearance


108


, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible.




A second embodiment of the present invention will be explained below.

FIGS. 5 and 6

show the second embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIGS. 5 and 6

, the same reference symbols as those shown in

FIGS. 1

to


4


, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. Therefore, these elements will not be explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade


200


has the following structure. The shroud


3


is provided from the leading edge


201


of the tip of a moving blade


2


to the trailing edge


202


thereof. A flat section


204


is provided on the trailing edge of the shroud


3


. The radius of a seal fin tip end


203


is substantially equal to that of the flat section


204


of the shroud trailing edge. “Substantially equal” means herein that the following expression is satisfied, {(the height of the seal fin tip end


203


)−(the flat section


204


of the shroud trailing edge)}/{(the height of the seal fin tip end


203


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


)}<1%. This expression is based on the same fact already explained above.




A split ring


205


has the following structure. The radius of the inner peripheral surface (flat inner peripheral surface)


206


of the split ring


205


is slightly larger than that of the seal fin tip end


203


and that of the flat section


204


of the shroud trailing edge. The leakage flow


207


of the gas path


5


is thereby prevented.




In the second embodiment, a clearance


208


between the seal fin tip end


203


and the flat section


204


of the shroud trailing edge of the shroud integral type moving blade


200


and the inner peripheral surface


206


of the split ring


205


can be set small to such an extent that the tip end


203


and the flat section


204


do not contact with the inner peripheral surface


206


even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


210


(which is a portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 5

) which is present between the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


and the inner peripheral surface


206


of the split ring


205


on the downstream side of the seal fin


7


, in accordance with the clearance


208


. Therefore, the leakage flow


207


which slips out of the gas path


5


through a void near a throat is shut off by the inner peripheral surface


206


of the split ring


205


. As can be seen, even if a winglet type shroud


3


is employed, it is possible to prevent the leakage flow


207


of the gas path


5


. In other words, the leakage flow


207


of the gas path


5


through the clearance


208


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency. However, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible by minimizing the clearance


208


.




In the second embodiment, in particular, the flat section


204


of the shroud trailing edge enables the shroud


3


to be made lighter in weight. Further, even if the rotor is thermally elongated by, for example, 10 to 20 mm in an axial direction, the small cavity cross-sectional area is kept as it is.




A third embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIGS. 7 and 8

show the third embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIGS. 7 and 8

, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 1

to


6


, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. These elements will not be, therefore, explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade


300


has the following structure. The shroud


3


is provided from the leading edge


301


of the tip of the moving blade


2


to halfway along the trailing edge


302


thereof. A flat section


304


is provided on the trailing edge of the tip of the moving blade


2


. The radius of a seal fin tip end


303


is substantially equal to that of the flat section


304


on the trailing edge of the tip of the moving blade


2


. “Substantially equal” means herein that the following expression is satisfied, {(the height of the seal fin tip end


303


)−(the flat section


304


of the shroud trailing edge)}/{(the height of the seal fin tip end


303


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


)}<1%. This expression is based on the same fact already explained above.




A split ring


305


has the following structure. The radius of the inner peripheral surface (flat inner peripheral surface)


306


of the split ring


305


is slightly larger than that of the seal fin tip end


303


and that of the flat section


304


of the tip trailing edge. The leakage flow


307


of the gas path


5


is thereby prevented.




In the third embodiment, a clearance


308


between the seal fin tip end


303


and the flat section


304


of the tip trailing edge of the shroud integral type moving blade


300


and the inner peripheral surface


306


of the split ring


305


can be set small to such an extent that the tip end


303


and the flat section


304


do not contact with the inner peripheral surface


306


even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the third embodiment, similarly to the first and second embodiments, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


310


(which is a portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 7

) which is present between the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


and the inner peripheral surface


306


of the split ring


305


on the downstream side of the seal fin


7


, in accordance with the clearance


308


. Therefore, the leakage flow


307


which slips out of the gas path


5


through a void near a throat is shut off by the inner peripheral surface


306


of the split ring


305


. As can be seen, even if a winglet type shroud


3


is employed, it is possible to prevent the leakage flow


307


of the gas path


5


. In other words, the leakage flow


307


of the gas path


5


through the clearance


308


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency. However, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible by minimizing the clearance


308


.




In the third embodiment, in particular, similarly to the second embodiment, the flat section


304


of the tip trailing edge


302


enables the shroud


3


to be made lighter in weight. Further, even if the rotor is thermally elongated by, for example, 10 to 20 mm in an axial direction, the small cavity cross-sectional area is kept as it is.




Moreover, in the third embodiment, the shroud


3


has no portion which corresponds to the trailing edge


302


on the tip of the moving blade


2


. It is possible to make the shroud


3


lighter in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud, accordingly.




A fourth embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIG. 9

shows the fourth embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIG. 9

, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 1

to


8


, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. These elements will not be, therefore, explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade


400


in the fourth embodiment is a modification of the shroud integral type moving blade


100


in the first embodiment. That is, the shroud integral type moving blade


400


in this embodiment has a structure in which the radius of a seal fin tip end


403


is substantially equal to that of a contact tip end


409


and in which the surface of the seal fin tip end


403


is flush with that of the contact tip end


409


.




The shroud integral type moving blade


400


in the fourth embodiment has the following structure. The radius of the seal fin tip end


403


and that of the contact tip end


409


are substantially equal to that of the end


104


of a shroud trailing edge. “Substantially equal” means herein that the following expression is satisfied, {(the height of the seal fin tip end


403


and the contact tip end


409


)−(the end


104


of the shroud trailing edge)}/{(the height of the seal fin tip end


403


and the contact tip end


409


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge


102


of the moving blade


2


)}<1%. This expression is based on the same fact already explained above. Further, the shroud integral type moving blade


400


in the fourth embodiment has a structure in which the contacts


8


are provided on both ends of the seal fin


7


, respectively and in which the contact surfaces (


9


) of the adjacent contacts


8


frictionally abut on each other.




In the fourth embodiment, the height of each contact


8


is increased to be equal to that of the seal fin


7


and the surface of the seal fin tip end


403


is made flush with that of the contact tip end


409


. It is, therefore, possible to improve the strength of the shroud


3


while keeping the shroud


3


light in weight.




A fifth embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIG. 10

shows a fifth embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIG. 10

, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 1

to


9


, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. These elements will not be, therefore, explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade


500


in the fifth embodiment is a modification of the shroud integral type moving blade

A seventh embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIG. 12

shows the seventh embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIG. 12

, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 1

to

17


and

FIG. 18

A shroud integral type moving blade


700


has the following structure almost similar to that of the shroud integral type moving blade


200


in the second embodiment shown in

FIGS. 5 and 6

. The shroud


3


is provided from the leading edge


201


of the tip of the moving blade


2


to the trailing edge


202


thereof. A flat section


704


is provided on the trailing edge of the shroud


3


. In addition, this shroud integral type moving blade


700


has a structure in which the radius of a seal fin tip end


703


is larger than that of the tip side of the shroud


3


and the moving blade


2


, for example, that of a contact tip end


709


and that of the flat section


704


on the shroud trailing edge.




A split ring


705


has the following structure. A step section


712


is provided from a section


711


which faces the seal fin


7


to a portion downstream of the section


711


. The radius of the inner peripheral surface of the step section


712


is slightly smaller than that of the inner peripheral surface of the portion


711


which faces the seal fin, and slightly larger than the radius of the contact tip end


709


and the radius of the flat section


704


of the shroud trailing edge. A leakage flow


707


of the gas path


5


is thereby prevented.




In the seventh embodiment, a clearance


708


between the contact tip end


709


and the end


704


of the shroud trailing edge of the moving blade


700


and the inner peripheral surface of the step section


712


of the split ring


705


can be set small to such an extent that the contact tip end


709


and the end


704


do not contact with the inner peripheral surface of the step section


712


even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the seventh embodiment, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


710


(which is a portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 12

) which is present between the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


and the inner peripheral surface of the step section


712


of the split ring


705


on the downstream side of the seal fin


703


. In the seventh embodiment therefore, similarly to the preceding first to sixth embodiments, the leakage flow


707


of the gas path


5


can be prevented. That is, since the leakage flow


707


of the gas path


5


from the clearance


708


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency, by minimizing the clearance


708


, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible.

FIGS. 9

to


11


, which have structures in which the radiuses of the seal fin tip ends


403


,


503


and


603


are substantially equal to those of the contact tip ends


409


,


509


and


609


, respectively, and in which the surfaces of the seal fin tip ends


403


,


503


and


603


are flush with those of the contact tip ends


409


,


509


and


609


, respectively.




Moreover, the technique explained in the seventh embodiment is also applicable to the structure of a shroud integral type moving blade in which the inner side surface


4


of the shroud


3


is not inclined along the gas path


5


, e.g., the structure of a shroud integral type moving blade in which the inner side surface


4


of the shroud


3


is substantially parallel to a rotor shaft.

15

, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. These elements will not be, therefore, explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade

2


. The seal fin


7


is provided at the midpoint of the tip of moving blade


2


. A flat section


804


is provided from the midpoint of the tip of the moving blade


2


to the trailing edge


802


thereof. The radius of a seal fin tip end


803


is substantially equal to that of the tip flat section


804


. “Substantially equal” means herein that the following expression is satisfied, {(the height of the seal fin tip end


803


)−(the tip flat section


804


)}/{(the height of the seal fin tip end


803


)−(the hub radius of the trailing edge of the moving blade


2


)}<1%. This expression is based on the same fact already explained above.




The shroud integral type moving blade


800


has the following structure. A rib


811


as well as the seal fin


7


and the contact


8


is provided on the peripheral edge of the shroud


3


. The radius of a rib tip end


812


is substantially equal to that of the seal fin tip end


803


and that of a contact tip end


809


. The surface of the rib tip end


812


, that of the seal fin tip end


803


and that of the contact tip end


809


are flush with one another.




A split ring


805


has the following structure. The radius of an inner peripheral surface


806


of the split ring


805


is slightly larger than those of the seal fin tip end


803


, the tip flat section


804


, the contact tip end


809


and the rib tip end


812


. A leakage flow


807


of the gas path


5


is thereby prevented.




In the eighth embodiment, a clearance


808


between the seal fin tip end


803


, the tip flat section


804


, the contact tip end


809


and the rib tip end


812


of the moving blade


800


and the inner peripheral surface


806


of the split ring


805


can be set small to such an extent that the seal fin tip end


803


, the tip flat section


804


, the contact tip end


809


and the rib tip end


812


do not contact with the inner peripheral surface


806


even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the eighth embodiment, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


810


which is present between the seal fin


7


and the tip flat section


804


downstream of the seal fin


7


and the inner peripheral surface


806


of the split ring


805


because of this structure. Therefore, similarly to the preceding first to seventh embodiments, in the eighth embodiment, the leakage flow


807


of the gas path


5


can be prevented. That is, since the leakage flow


807


of the gas path


5


from the clearance


808


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency, by minimizing the clearance


808


, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible.




In the eighth embodiment, in particular, the shroud


3


does not have a portion which spreads from the tip midpoint of the moving blade


2


to the tip trailing edge


802


thereof. It is possible to make the shroud


3


light in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud


3


, accordingly.




Furthermore, in the eighth embodiment, the rib


811


as well as the seal fin


7


and the contact


8


is provided on the peripheral edge of the shroud


3


. It is, therefore, possible to improve the strength of the shroud


3


while keeping the shroud


3


light in weight.




As indicated by a two-dot chain line in

FIG. 15

, one or a plurality of reinforcement ribs


813


may be provided on the outer side surface


6


of the shroud


3


. Alternatively, as shown in

FIG. 13B

A ninth embodiment of this invention will be explained below.

FIG. 16

shows the ninth embodiment of the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the present invention. In

FIG. 16

, the same reference symbols as those in

FIGS. 1

to


15


, FIG.


17


and

FIG. 18

denote the same elements, respectively. These elements will not be, therefore, explained herein.




A shroud integral type moving blade


900


in the ninth embodiment is a modification of the shroud integral type moving blade


800


in the eighth embodiment. Namely, the shroud integral type moving blade


900


in this embodiment has the following structure. The shroud


3


is provided from a leading edge


901


of the tip of the moving blade


2


to the midpoint of the tip of the moving blade. The seal fin


7


is provided in the midpoint of the tip of the moving blade


2


. A flat section


904


is provided from the midpoint of the tip of the moving blade


2


to the trailing edge


902


thereof. The radius of a seal fin tip end


903


is larger than that of the tip flat section


904


.




The moving blade


900


in the ninth embodiment has the following structure. A rib


911


as well as the seal fin


7


and the contact


8


is provided on the peripheral edge of the shroud


3


. The radius of a rib tip end


912


, that of the seal fin tip end


903


and that of a contact tip end


909


are substantially equal to one another. The surface of the rib tip end


912


, that of the seal fin tip end


903


and that of the contact tip end


909


are flush with one another.




A split ring


905


in the ninth embodiment is a modification of the split ring


805


in the eighth embodiment. Namely, the split ring


905


of the ninth embodiment has the following structure. A step section


914


is provided from a section


913


which faces the seal fin


7


to a portion downstream of the section


913


. The radius of the inner peripheral surface of the step section


914


is slightly smaller than that of the inner peripheral surface of the section


913


which faces the seal fin and slightly larger than that of the tip flat section


904


. A leakage flow


907


of the gas path


5


is thereby prevented.




In the ninth embodiment, similarly to the eighth embodiment, a clearance


908


is provided between a surface of the seal fin tip end


903


, the tip flat section


904


, the contact tip end


909


and the rib tip end


912


of the moving blade


900


and a surface of the inner peripheral surface section


913


facing the seal fin of the split ring


905


and the step section


914


. The clearance


908


can be set small to such an extent that these two surfaces do not contact with each other even if they are thermally elongated.




Consequently, in the ninth embodiment, similarly to the eighth embodiment, it is possible to decrease a cavity cross-sectional area


910


which is present between the seal fin


7


and the tip flat section


904


downstream of the seal fin


7


and the inner peripheral surface of the step section


914


of the split ring


905


because of this structure. Therefore, similarly to the preceding first to eighth embodiments, in this embodiment, the leakage flow


907


of the gas path


5


can be prevented. That is, since the leakage flow


907


of the gas path


5


from the clearance


908


causes the deterioration of turbine efficiency, by minimizing the clearance


908


, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the turbine efficiency as much as possible.




In the ninth embodiment, in particular, the shroud


3


does not have a portion which spreads from the tip midpoint of the moving blade


2


to the tip trailing edge


902


. It is possible to make the shroud


3


light in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud


3


, accordingly.




Furthermore, in the ninth embodiment, the rib


911


as well as the seal fin


7


and the contact


8


is provided on the peripheral edge of the shroud


3


. It is, therefore, possible to improve the strength of the shroud


3


while keeping the shroud


3


light in weight.




A reinforcement rib (not shown) may be provided on the outer side surface of the shroud


3


. Alternatively, the shroud


3


may not be provided with the rib


911


.




Other modification of this invention will be explained below. In the first to ninth embodiments, each of the inner peripheral surfaces of the split rings


105


to


905


has a honeycomb structure (not shown). This honeycomb structure is for facilitating adjustment of the clearances between the inner peripheral surfaces of the split rings


105


to


905


and the shroud integral type moving blades


100


to


900


, respectively. This honeycomb structure is also for facilitating adjustment of the clearance between the inner peripheral surface of a split ring and a shroud integral type moving blade of an existing gas turbine. Further, the components of the honeycomb structure can be easily replaced.




As is obvious from the above, the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to one aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the outer side surface of the shroud and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring on the downstream side of the seal fin. Therefore, the leakage flow which slips out of the gas path through a void near a throat is shut off by the inner peripheral surface of the split ring. Thus, even if a winglet type shroud is employed, it is possible to prevent the leakage flow of the gas path.




The shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to another aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the outer side surface of the shroud and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring on the downstream side of the seal fin. Therefore, the invention according to this aspect can prevent the leakage flow of the gas path.




In the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the above aspect, in particular, the flat section of the shroud trailing edge makes the shroud light in weight and makes a small cavity cross-sectional area kept as it is even if thermal elongation occurs in an axial direction.




The shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to still another aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the outer side surface of the shroud and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring on a downstream side of the seal fin. In addition, it is possible to narrow the distance between the flat section of the tip trailing edge and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring. Therefore, the invention according to this aspect can prevent the leakage flow of the gas path.




In the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the above aspect, in particular, similarly to the above aspect, the flat section of the tip trailing edge makes the shroud light in weight and makes a small cavity cross-sectional area kept as it is even if thermal elongation occurs in an axial direction.




In the shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to the above aspect, the shroud does not have a portion which corresponds to the tip trailing edge of the moving blade. Accordingly, it is possible to make the shroud light in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud.




Moreover, the shroud integral type moving blade has a structure in which contacts are provided on both ends of the seal fin, respectively, in which the contacts adjacent to each other frictionally abut on each other, in which the radius of the seal fin tip end is substantially equal to the radius of the contact tip end of each of the contacts and in which the surface of the seal fin tip end is flush with the surface of the contact tip end. Therefore, it is possible to improve the strength of the shroud while keeping the shroud light in weight.




The shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to still another aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the outer side surface of the shroud and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring on the downstream side of the seal fin. Therefore, the invention according to this aspect can prevent the leakage flow of the gas path.




The shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to still another aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the seal fin and the tip flat section downstream of the seal fin, and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring. Therefore, the invention according to this aspect can prevent the leakage flow of the gas path.




According to the shroud integral type moving blade based on the above aspect, in particular, the shroud does not have a portion which corresponds to a portion from the tip midpoint of the moving blade to the tip trailing edge thereof. Accordingly, it is possible to make the shroud light in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud.




The shroud integral type moving blade and the split ring according to still another aspect of the present invention can decrease a cavity cross-sectional area which is present between the seal fin and the tip flat section downstream of the seal fin, and the inner peripheral surface of the split ring. In addition, the shroud does not have a portion which corresponds to a portion from the tip midpoint of the moving blade to the tip trailing edge thereof. Accordingly, it is possible to make the shroud light in weight while keeping the strength of the shroud.




Furthermore, the shroud integral type moving blade has a structure in which the rib as well as the seal fin is provided on a peripheral edge of the shroud, in which a radius of a rib tip end is substantially equal to the radius of the seal fin tip end, and in which a surface of the rib tip end is flush with a surface of the seal fin tip end. Therefore, it is possible to improve the strength of the shroud while keeping the shroud light in weight.




Moreover, the split ring has an inner peripheral surface of a honeycomb structure. Therefore, with the honeycomb structure, it is possible to facilitate adjustment of the clearance between the inner peripheral surface of the split ring and the shroud integral type moving blade. In addition, with this honeycomb structure, it is possible to facilitate adjustment of the clearance between the inner peripheral surface of a split ring and a shroud integral type moving blade of an existing gas turbine. Further, the components of the honeycomb structure can be easily replaced.
