Abstract

A gas turbine includes ring segments and isolation rings that surround a channel for high-temperature gas W from an outer peripheral side, blade rings formed in an annular shape on the outer peripheral side of the ring segments and the isolation rings, and supporting members fitted into fitting concave portions recessed from the end faces of the blade rings in the direction of the axis and supporting the ring segments and the isolation rings. An inner wall surface of the fitting concave portion has a first inclined surface that inclines so as to narrow gradually from an opening edge of the fitting concave portion toward the inside of the blade ring in the direction of the axis, and the supporting member has a second inclined surface that inclines so as to correspond to the first inclined surface.

Claims (34)

1. A gas turbine comprising:

a heat-resistant portion surrounding a channel for high-temperature gas from an outer peripheral side;

an annular member formed in an annular shape on the outer peripheral side of the heat-resistant portion; and

a supporting member fitted into a fitting concave portion which has a bottom face facing a downstream side in the high-temperature gas flow direction along an axis of the annular member, recessed from an axial end face of the annular member along the axis, and supporting the heat-resistant portion, wherein

the fitting concave portion has a first inclined surface that inclines so as to narrow gradually from an opening edge thereof toward an upstream side in the high-temperature gas flow direction along the axis, and

the supporting member has a second inclined surface that inclines so as to come into contact with the first inclined surface,

the supporting member comes into contact with the bottom face of the fitting concave portion and is formed in a shape which fits into the fitting concave portion,

the supporting member is formed so that, when the supporting member is fitted into the fitting concave portion, the axial end face of the annular member and an axial end face of the supporting member that face the downstream side are located on the same plane,

a bolt hole with a female thread portion is formed toward the upstream side in the direction of the axis from the bottom face in the fitting concave portion,

a radial outside portion of the supporting member has a semicircular shape,

a radial inside portion of the supporting member has a rectangular shape in which the longitudinal direction is the radial direction,

a bolt hole is provided in the supporting member, and

a bolt is inserted into the bolt hole, is screwed into the female thread portion, and fixes the position of the supporting member.

2. The gas turbine according to claim 1 ,

wherein oxidation-resistant coating is attached to the first inclined surface.

3. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein

the first inclined surface is formed to a middle portion between the axial end face of the annular member and the bottom face that faces the downstream side of the fitting concave portion.

4. A repairing method of a gas turbine including:

a heat-resistant portion surrounding a channel for high-temperature gas from an outer peripheral side;

an annular member formed in an annular shape on the outer peripheral side of the heat-resistant portion; and

a first supporting member fitted into a fitting concave portion which has a bottom face facing a downstream side in the high-temperature gas flow direction along an axis of the annular member, recessed from an axial end face of the annular member along the axis, and the first supporting member supports the heat-resistant portion,

the repairing method comprising:

a parts removal step of removing the first supporting member;

an outline forming step of forming, in an inner wall surface of the fitting concave portion, a first inclined surface that inclines so as to narrow gradually from an opening edge of the fitting concave portion toward an upstream side in the high-temperature gas flow direction along the axis; and

a parts installation step of installing a second supporting member, having a second inclined surface that inclines so as to come into contact with the first inclined surface, in the fitting concave portion instead of the first supporting member, coming into contact with the bottom face of the fitting concave portion, being formed in a shape which fits into the fitting concave portion, and being formed so that, when the supporting member is fitted into the fitting concave portion, the axial end face of the annular member and an axial end face of the supporting member that face the downstream side are located on the same plane, wherein

a bolt hole with a female thread portion is formed toward the upstream side from the bottom face in the fitting concave portion,

a radial outside portion of the supporting member has a semicircular shape,

a radial inside portion of the supporting member has a rectangular shape in which the longitudinal direction is the radial direction,

a bolt hole is provided in the supporting member, and

a bolt is inserted into the bolt hole, is screwed into the female thread portion, and fixes the position of the supporting member.

5. The repairing method of a gas turbine according to claim 4 , further comprising

a coating step of attaching oxidation-resistant coating to the first inclined surface after the outline forming step is performed.

6. The repairing method of a gas turbine according to claim 4 , wherein

in the outline forming step which is forming the first inclined surface, the first inclined surface is formed to a middle portion between the axial end face of the annular member and the bottom face that faces the downstream side of the fitting concave portion.
