Abstract

A hanging device of a component of a turbine includes: a bridge member that bridges upper ends of a pair of side wall plates facing each other with the turbine interposed therebetween, among plates which constitute an enclosure surrounding an outer periphery of the turbine, and has a traveling path; and a hanging tool that hangs the component of the turbine and travels along the traveling path.

Claims (35)

1. A hanging device of a component comprising:

a bridge member that bridges upper ends of a pair of side wall plates facing each other with a turbine interposed therebetween, among plates which constitute an enclosure surrounding an outer periphery of the turbine, and has a traveling path; and

a hanging tool that hangs the component of the turbine and travels along the traveling path,

wherein the traveling path at least has a lateral path that extends in a lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged and an axial path that extends in an axial direction which is a direction in which a rotational axis of the turbine extends.

2. The hanging device of the component according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a leg member that is disposed on each of the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, supports the bridge member, and adjusts the height of the bridge member.

3. The hanging device of the component according to claim 2 , wherein the leg member has a flange portion that regulates a movement in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged.

4. The hanging device of the component according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a pedestal which is disposed between the leg member and the upper end of the side wall plate, and of which a central portion in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged protrudes upward.

5. The hanging device of the component according to claim 1 , wherein the traveling path further has a connecting path that connects the lateral path and the axial path such that the hanging tool is movable between the lateral path and the axial path.

6. The hanging device of the component according to claim 5 , wherein the lateral path, the axial path, and the connecting path are provided on the same virtual plane, and

the hanging device further comprises:

a connecting path rotation support portion that supports the connecting path so as to be rotatable on an axis perpendicular to the virtual plane around an intersection point between an extension line of the lateral path and an extension line of the axial path.

7. The hanging device of the component according to claim 1 , wherein the bridge member has a lateral beam member which extends in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged and bridges the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, and to which the traveling path is mounted.

8. The hanging device of the component according to claim 1 , wherein the bridge member has a lateral beam member that extends in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged, and bridges the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, and an axial beam member which is mounted on the lateral beam member and extends in the axial direction, and to which the axial path is mounted.

9. The hanging device of the component according to claim 8 , further comprising:

an axial beam support seat that is fixed to the inner surface of an intake duct of the turbine to support an end of the axial beam member.

10. A hanging device of a component comprising:

a bridge member that bridges upper ends of a pair of side wall plates facing each other with a turbine interposed therebetween, among plates which constitute an enclosure surrounding an outer periphery of the turbine, and has a traveling path;

a hanging tool that hangs the component of the turbine and travels along the traveling path; and

a leg member that is disposed on each of the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, supports the bridge member, and adjusts the height of the bridge member,

wherein the leg member is fixed with the bridge member.

11. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the leg member has a flange portion that regulates a movement in a lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged.

12. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , further comprising:

a pedestal which is disposed between the leg member and the upper end of the side wall plate, and of which a central portion in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged protrudes upward.

13. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the traveling path has a lateral path that extends in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged.

14. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the traveling path has an axial path that extends in the axial direction which is a direction in which a rotational axis of the turbine extends.

15. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the traveling path has a lateral path extending in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged, an axial path extending in the axial direction which is a direction in which the rotational axis of the turbine extends, and a connecting path that connects the lateral path and the axial path such that the hanging tool is movable between the lateral path and the axial path.

16. The hanging device of the component according to claim 15 ,

wherein the lateral path, the axial path and the connecting path are provided on the same virtual plane, and

the hanging device further comprises: a connecting path rotation support portion that supports the connecting path so as to be rotatable on an axis perpendicular to the virtual plane around an intersection point between an extension line of the lateral path and an extension line of the axial path.

17. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the bridge member has a lateral beam member which extends in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged and bridges the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, and to which the traveling path is mounted.

18. The hanging device of the component according to claim 10 , wherein the bridge member has a lateral beam member that extends in the lateral direction in which the pair of side wall plates are arranged, and bridges the upper ends of the pair of side wall plates, and an axial beam member which is mounted on the lateral beam member and extends in the axial direction, and to which the axial path is mounted.

19. The hanging device of the component according to claim 18 , further comprising:

an axial beam support seat that is fixed to the inner surface of an intake duct of the turbine to support an end of the axial beam member.
