发明名称 Turbine assembly
摘要 A turbine assembly includes a rotor (1) with a channel (20) and a plurality of blades (10) with a root (30) rotationally fitted in the channel (20). The root (30) and channel (20) have complimentary angled end walls (26, 36) while the root (30) is further configured to have radial play in the channel (20). The combination of this radial play and end wall angle enables, when the base (31) of the root (30) is in contact with the base (21) of the channel (20), enable over-rotating compared to when the base (31) of the root (30) and channel (20) are not in contact. This over-rotation enables the fitting of a last root (30) in the channel (20).

主权项 1. A turbine assembly comprising: a rotor having a rotational axis, an outer surface, and a channel formed in the outer surface and which circumscribes the rotor; wherein the channel includes an axially extending channel foot with a base and a radially inward facing land, a radial distance between the base and the land defining a foot radial height, and a neck portion extending radially between the foot and the outer surface, the neck portion having a first and a second axial end wall, at least one of the first and second axial end walls having a taper angle which, in a radial outward direction, narrows the neck portion; a row of rotationally fittable blades circumferentially distributed in the channel around the rotor, each blade comprising a root at least partially located in the channel, the root including an axially extending root foot with a base and a radial height extending from the base, a neck extending radially from the root foot having a first and a second axial end wall, each end wall tapered to complement the taper angle of the end walls of the channel neck portion, and a platform on a radial distal end of the root; wherein the blades each have a parallelogram shaped platform, root, or both, the blades being rotationally fittable in the channel; wherein the root radial height is less than the channel foot radial height; wherein differences in radial height between the root and channel foot, the taper, and platform shape, root shape, or both, in combination allowing over-rotation of the root when the base of the root is in contact with the channel base as compared to when the root foot is in contact with the channel land to an extent that enables fitting of a last blade in the channel; and wherein the complementary taper of the neck axial end walls and the channel neck end walls prevents rotation in the channel when the root foot is in contact with the channel land.
