Abstract
A gas turbine comprises a shroud integral type moving blade and a split ring. The moving blade includes a shroud provided from a leading edge of a tip of a moving blade to a trailing edge and whose outer side surface is provided with a seal fin. A radius of a tip end of the seal fin is substantially equal to a radius of a shroud trailing edge end. The split ring has a structure in which a radius of its inner peripheral surface is slightly larger than a radius of the seal fin tip end and the radius of the shroud trailing edge end.
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

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.

500
and
600
in the fourth to sixth embodiments shown in
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. 18

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

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

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 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.

3
. Alternatively, the shroud
3

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.
