NOZZLE ADJUSTING MECHANISM AND METHOD

摘要

Method and nozzle adjustment mechanism (50) for adjusting a flow of a fluid. The nozzle adjustment mechanism (50) includes a fixed ring (52); at least a vane (56) connected to the fixed ring (52) by a pivot pin (70) and configured to rotate with the pivot pin (70); an adjusting ring (54) rotatably connected to the fixed ring (52) and configured to rotate around a longitudinal axis (Z) of the nozzle adjustment mechanism (50); and a connection mechanism (58, 60) connecting the at least a vane (56) to the adjusting ring (54) and configured to move the at least a vane (56) when the adjusting ring is (54) rotated, the connection mechanism (58, 60) including a lever component (58) and a link component (60) connected to each other. The lever component (58) is connected to the at least a vane (56) and the link component (60) is connected to the adjusting ring (54).
