    摘要: A gas turbine engine has a core frame separable from a vane frame for removably attaching the vane frame to a core structure through a mid ring. The mid ring includes an annular forward panel and an annular aft panel, each of which has a radially outer flange and a radially inner flange. The inner flanges are welded to the core frame and the outer flanges are bolted to the vane frame. A plurality of circumferentially spaced stiffeners extend between the forward and aft panels, with each of the stiffeners including a pair of stringers extending diagonally across the stiffeners. Panels may be incorporated with the stringers between the triangular shaped areas adjacent the forward and aft panels of the stiffener. The bolted connection between the mid ring and the vane frame includes a plurality of tongue and groove joints formed in the flanges of the mid ring and vane frame. The tongue and groove joints provide additional radial support for the core engine within the vane frame. Preferably, the tongue and groove joints are formed with angular sides so that conformance between the joints can be achieved by simply tightening the bolts attaching the joints. In one embodiment, the tongue and groove joints may only be used at preselected circumferential positions with the remainder of the flange connections using overlapping lap joints.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine thermal backbone deflection control apparatus to counter the effects of backbone bending due to nacelle aerodynamic, thrust, and maneuver loads by introducing a controlled backbone counter-bending moment by applying an uneven temperature or thermal field around the backbone to induce controlled compression and/or tensioning forces in the backbone or casing between axially spaced apart frames connected by the backbone. One embodiment of the invention provides for flowing thermal control air along an axially and circumferentially sector of the engine casing. The thermal backbone deflection control apparatus is controlled by the engines digital electronic control system using input signals generated by engine thrust load, inlet moment load sensors and/or blade tip clearance sensors.

    摘要: An expansion joint for connecting first and second fluid-carrying pipes comprising first and second annular couplings which are operably affixable to respective ones of the pipes. In a preferred embodiment the couplings include cylindrical bores of substantially the same diameter disposed relative to one another to form a passage for providing flow communication between the pipes. An annular bellows extends between the couplings for accommodating relative axial movement and angular misalignment between the pipes and is disposed radially outward of the passage to capture any fluid leaking between the interfacing surfaces of the couplings. A second cylindrical bore of a first one of the couplings engages an outer spherical surface of the second coupling to allow the second coupling to pivot in a manner which accommodates angular misalignment between the pipes. Means are provided for limiting the pivoting of the second coupling and for preventing the first coupling from rotating about a centerline of the joint, thereby avoiding unacceptable bending and torsional loading of the bellows. The expansion joint further includes means for limiting the axial compression and axial extension of the bellows.

    摘要: The clearances between an array of high pressure turbine blades and its surrounding high pressure turbine shroud as well as the clearances between an array of low pressure turbine blades and its associated low pressure turbine shroud are carefully controlled by a support structure which provides for evenly controlled circumferential cooling of the shroud support structure. Radial loads on the shroud support structure are reduced by counterbalancing loads imposed on the support structure by the shroud with predetermined pressure loads controlled and set through a series of cooling air cavities. The high pressure turbine shroud and low pressure turbine shroud are formed as integral segments in a segmented shroud design. Forward and aft shroud hanger members interconnect the shroud with its support so as to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the shroud segments to and from their support structure.

    摘要: Blade pitch varying means for use in a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The blade pitch varying means may be used on an engine with a single row or two counterrotating rows of variable pitch blades which are disposed outwardly from an annular gas flowpath and which are connected with a rotating airfoil within the flowpath. The blade pitch varying means comprise actuation means, bearing means, and gearing means. The actuation means are in a nonrotating reference frame disposed inwardly from the flowpath and deliver an axial force. The bearing means transmit the axial force from the nonrotating into a rotating reference frame which contains both the propulsor blade and the airfoil in the gas flowpath. The gearing means are located in the rotating reference frame and convert the axial force into a force for varying the blade pitch.

    摘要: A combustion chamber for use in gas turbine engines is provided with a liner formed of a high temperature material. The liner includes a plurality of panels of material mounted by means of a slideable, frictional mounting arrangement upon a high strength structural frame. As a result of this mounting arrangement, the liner is substantially isolated from structural forces associated with the combustion chamber, while the frame is substantially isolated from thermal stresses associated with the liner. Means are provided for positioning and securing individual panel members axially relative to the frame. The panels may be continuous annular bodies, or may be circumferentially segmented. In the latter case, means are provided for mounting individual panels in a slideable, frictional cooperation with laterally adjacent panels, as well as for sealing the abutting junctions. The individual liner panels may be easily removed for repair or replacement without disassembling the frame and associated components.

    摘要: A structurally compact air-to-air heat exchanger, for a gas turbine engine of the fan bypass type, that permits a lower percentage of cooling air, than is presently needed in the art, to cool effectively the hot turbine, and its parts, of the engine. This goal is achieved, in part, by using a portion of the cool flow of fan air as a heat sink, without disturbing the flow of the fan air stream. The heat exchanger is disposed internal of the engine, and, it includes a plurality of flow tubes through which flows the hot cooling air, with the flow tubes positioned in a crossflow relationship with and to a portion of the cool flow of fan air. Three (3) variations of the preferred embodiment of the heat exchanger also are taught.
