Device for pivoting a rotor of a turbomachine from a first position into a second position
A device for pivoting a rotor of a turbomachine from a first—preferably horizontal—position into a second—preferably vertical—position is provided. The rotor includes a plurality of rotor discs held together by at least one tension rod, the device includes two sidewall elements arranged parallel to one another, a bridge element connecting the sidewall elements to one another, and a divisible turning ring for form-fittingly holding an axial section of the rotor to be positioned perpendicularly. The rotor further includes two pins rotatably seated in the sidewall elements and arranged flush to the turning ring in order to pivot the turning ring about a pivot axis parallel to the horizontal plane. The bridge element includes a disk, wherein the disk is movable perpendicularly to the horizontal plane in order to be bolted in a flange-like manner onto a rotor retained by the device.
1. A device for pivoting a rotor of a turbomachine from a first position into a second position, wherein the rotor comprises a plurality of rotor disks which are braced with one another by at least one tie rod, comprising:
two sidewall elements arranged parallel to one another,
a divisible turning ring for form-fittingly receiving an axial section of the rotor to be set up,
two pins arranged oppositely on the turning ring and rotatably mounted in the sidewall elements in order to pivot the turning ring about a pivot axis parallel to the horizontal plane, and
a bridge element connecting the sidewall elements to one another, wherein in the bridge element, there is mounted a disk adapted to be moved perpendicular to the horizontal plane and intended for flange-like screw connection to a vertically set-up rotor held by the device.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the disk is adapted to be pivoted about the movement direction.
3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the disk is adapted to be actuated hydraulically.
4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the turning ring has a cover plate.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a lock is articulated on each sidewall element and adapted to be locked on the respective other sidewall element.
6. The device as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a clamping shoe for clamping in the rotor on each lock.
7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , in which the sidewall elements are fixedly screwed to a foundation directly or indirectly via a metal baseplate.
