Abstract

A turbine blade includes: a base portion fixed to a rotor; a platform that is fixed to the base portion and includes a cooling flow channel; a blade shape portion that extends from the platform to an outer side in a radial direction; and a fillet portion provided in a joint surface between the blade shape portion and the platform, and the turbine blade further includes: a main pipe that is branched off from the cooling flow channel and has an opening at a side end portion of the platform; and a branch pipe that is branched off from the main pipe, extends along the fillet portion so as to be close thereto on an inner side in the radial direction, and includes a film cooling hole opened on a surface of the platform.

Claims (17)

1. A turbine blade comprising:

a base portion fixed to a rotor;

a platform that is fixed to the base portion and includes a cooling flow channel;

a blade shape portion that extends from the platform to an outer side in a radial direction; and

a fillet portion provided in a joint surface between the blade shape portion and the platform,

the turbine blade further comprising:

a main pipe that is branched off from the cooling flow channel and has an opening at a side end portion of the platform; and

a plurality of branch pipes branched off from the main pipe, extend along the fillet portion so as to be closer to the fillet portion on an inner side in the radial direction than the fillet portion on an outer side, and include film cooling holes that open on a surface of the platform,

wherein the main pipe is branched off from the cooling flow channel provided closest to a leading edge of the turbine blade,

wherein all of the branch pipes extend across the inner side below the fillet portion in the radial direction of the fillet portion, in sectional plan view taken in the radial direction of the blade shape portion, and run along the fillet portion of the blade shape portion, and extend substantially linearly toward the trailing edge.

2. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein

the branch pipe is provided parallel to a line that is tangent to an inner wall of the cooling flow channel on a pressure side of the blade shape portion and is tangent to an outer edge of the fillet portion on the pressure side of the blade shape portion.

3. The turbine blade according to claim 2 , wherein

in the sectional plan view taken in the radial direction of the blade shape portion, the branch pipe includes the film cooling hole that is opened at a middle point or closer to the main pipe with respect to the middle point, the middle point being between: an intersection point between an extended line of the branch pipe and the outer edge of the fillet portion; and a connection port with the main pipe.

4. The turbine blade according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in the sectional plan view taken in the radial direction of the blade shape portion, lengths of adjacent branch pipes are made smaller with increasing distance from a center of the blade shape portion, and the film cooling holes of the branch pipes are sequentially brought closer to the main pipe.

5. A gas turbine comprising the turbine blade according to claim 1 .
